A statistical table, published in the
Riner Press, in relation to the business OF
the upper Missouri the past season,
shows that the shipments for the Fort
Benton merchants, or the local trade.
have never before been so large as the
coming season.
The three robbers who entered a store
at Stevensville, held up the clerks and
obtained $3.50, have been captured after
pursuit and fight in which one Of them,
Clark, was killed. The three menproyed
upon inspection 10 be the same who rob
bed the store At Butte in similar style
about two weeks ago. They were all
Butte men.
Charles S. Fee, assistant superintend-
ent Of passenger traffic, announces that
immigrant passengers will be carried be-
tween St Paul and Helena in both direc-
tions on the Atlantic and Pacific express
trains respectively, and between Helena
and Portland on the regular emigrant
trains. This will reduce the time Of
emigrant trains between st. Paul and
Portland to about five and one-half days.
The Livingston Enterprise says that on
last Wednesday evening +. j: McCnng,
Of Little Missouri, as he was returning to
his home, about half a mile from the
railroad depot, was fired upon by some
person unknown. He invOluntarily
turned as the shot was fired, and the
bullet grazed the top of his head, carried
away his hat and covered his face with
powder. Immediately two men sprang up
from the brush where the shot came
from and ran of, and have not since
been seen, and it is believed they have
fed to the bad lands. A similar attempt |
was made upon Mr.. McClungs life about |
nine days previous. These persistent at
tacks may perhaps find an explanation
in the fact that McClung is one Of the !
principal witnesses for the defense in the |
Marquis de Mores trial now pending.
In discussing the amendment to the
Constitution proposed by Representative
Budd. Of California, to the Chinese Re-
striction Act, the San Francisco Erdnl.
iser has the following to say: 1T is
meant to cover the alleged discrepancy
arising from the word Chinese in the in
hibltory clause of the law, 80 as to render
the exclusion applicable to all persons Of
the Chinese race. While the couitshave
apparently settled the conflict Of opinion,
which at one time threatened the integ-
rity Of the prohibitory law, there is yet
reasonable grounds Of apprehension, and
the people on this Coast will feel much
better satisfied in the event OF the adop-
tion of Mr. Budd's amendment. 1t has
the merit Of curing all possible difficult
ties which may arise under the Act.
The otjectior that the term Mo,golisn,
which the amenduent Odds to- the re-
striction clause, making it rsld, AN
Chinese are Aionsoliaas,' Tis 9 generic
word which i6cludess : wiase agsi6caAcs
than was intended to be applied in the
original bill, Is not of the serieus conse- k
quence which may be supposed to follow
It. Mongolians or Chinese, We have had
enough Of them" GgrF9ss + Il
