The Miners Representative al
Helena's Jubilee.

Judge Searles, editor of the Butte
MINER, was one of the distinguished
strangers who took part in the par
ade. The Judge is an old-time resi-
dent of Helena, and felt as proud as
anybody over tho pronounced success
of the celebration. He is also a
Forty-niner, and has been understood
to say that he never saw anything in
his thirty-four years residence in the
mountains that came near up with
Helena's railroad celebration.--ln-
dependent, 6.
Daniel Searles editor of the MINER,
headed the Butte representation,
which bore a conspicuous part in the
grand procession Of yesterday. Hell
ena was formerly the home of Mr..
Searles and here his family was
reared. He is western man from
away back. Thirty years ago--July
4, 1850---he was one of a party en-
camped on Green River, en- route to
California, lured like many another
young man by the great gold excite
ment then leading thousands toward
the new Eldorado Of the Pacific.
Twelve years later he was in like
Manner beckoned to Montana, and
became an early resident of the great
placer mining camp which subse-
quently transformed into the imperi-
al city of the m0untains-the Capital
of Montana. Called to the field of
journalism, he has for some years
ably conducted the MINER. He was
heartily welcomed among the pio-
neer guests of the Capita, and bore
his share in our dual celebration.-

Illinois Militia Matters.

CHICAGO, July For the past
seven years a tax of one-eighth mill
has been levied for the support of Che
state troops, netting fund of S75. .OOO

regiments of infantry and one of cav
airy and three batteries of artillery.
The collection of this sum has been
delayed one year in each instance.
and troops in consequence have had
oack Indebtedness to when the fund
was ready for disbursement, and in
addition q claim is made that that
amount Is not nearly adequate for
the proper maintenance Of the COM
mands. At the last session Of the
legislature the military code was
amended so as to give the troops q
fixed sum of $75, 900, payable in ad-
vance. In view of this fact the state
auditor on July LIST turned the
amount collected under tho tax levy
for past year back into the general
fund. This amounted to $72, coo and

but which the auditor refuses to pay.
Officers declare it leaves the troops in
bad plight, and that the action of the
auditor Is arbitrary and unauthorized
as the money was levied for military
use. Proceedings by nandamus will
be Instituted to recover the funds.

Lottery Cases.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Postmaster
General Gresham to-day heard the
continuation OF the argum ment in the
lottery cases of Col. Moulton and
General Belknap argued that the
suspension of the original order made
by Postmaster General Keys prohib-
iting the delivery of money orders
and registered letters to the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company operated as an
abrogation of that order. Stewart,
representing Ex-Representative Rob
ertson, coRtended that the suspen-
sion was only intended to allow the
judicial determination Of the status
of the lottery company, and the ap-
peal was dismissed by the Supreme
Court. The suspension of the order
expired and the original order of pro-
hibition again Prevailed. Sanders
followed for the Louisville Distribu-
ton Company, and Southard spoke
for the Colorado Lottery Company.
The President approved the SEN
tence of the court martial Of Com
mander HoratiO f. Mullan, of the lost
Ashuelot, and he has been dismissed
from the service from the sixth of
July.
After hearing Colonel Moulton and
other counsel in the lottery case, the
postmaster General reserved his de-
cision on the question as to whether

ed. The riotous miners were not
expecting them. Governor RarstOw

the troops and eleven Of the ring
leaders were arrested and no resist
ance was made, and will probably be

Much sympathy is expressed for the
miners and many families are on
the verge OF starvation, and women

the troops for assistance. Money
i.as been raised to relieve immediate
need. The company propose to pay

CrQp Report.

CHICAGO, July THE Inter-
Ocean this morning presents the crop
reports covering wide area Of the
west and northwest, and the tenor is
to the effect that wheat excepted, the
grain crop will equal last years

vorable to corn induced enc of the
heaviest crops Of hay ever moved,
which to q great extent is already
cut and cured. Barley and oats are
unusually good everywhere, and
promise an unprecedented yield.
While the recent hot weather has
proven extremely favorable to the
growing corn crop, wheat is about
an average and the harvests of win

HitZ Case.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Grim.
inal court to-day heard argument in
the Hitz case, involving point that
will effect the pending case against
Senator Kellogg, which had been
postponed in order to allow its dispo-
sition. As in the Kellogg case pleas
of abatement have been filed in the
Hitz case, but they are based upon
diametrically opposite grounds. so
that if the court should decide in fa-
vor OF the government in Hitz's case
and hold the point to be material it
might result in the failure of the in
dictment in tho Kellogg case. The
point in question is whether the
court committed an error in filling
a vacancy IN the grand jury that re-
turned the indictments in these
cases from the board instead of sum-
monsing talesmen. After hearing
long arguments Judge Wylie reserved
his decision until Saturday next.

Too Much Money,

WASHINGTON, July IA call tor
$15, ,OOO, 600 more of outstanding 81
per cent. bonds may be looked for

soon as the secretary returns unless
he is persuaded out of it hy bankers
while he is in New York. The bank
ing interest is very much opposed to
calls and Is desirOus of putting off
the step as far as possible. It is
thought by treasury officials, how
ever, that there is no way to avoid
further redemption of the bonds SUBJ
ject to call, because money is piling
up in the vaults and current demands
are not enough to disburse the re-
ceipts. At the rate the year has
started it would not take over two

by locking up. In the sub-treasury
in New York the surplus is already
up to forty per cent. of the reserve,
or practically so, and. counting in
cash set aside to meet liabilities,
which past experience has shown
will be a long time in dribbling in, it
is very much above what prudence
requires TO be kept against the per-
petual liabilities represented by green
backs.

Secretary Fclger addressed letter to
Solicitor-General Phillips, of the
treasury Department, and Attorney
General Brewster, asking their
oninlons regarding the legality of the
sPnortation of distilled spirits now
rsmaiuing in distillery bonded ware
hanses. subject to the tax payable
within three years from the date of
their entry into such warehouses, to
Hfmilton, bermuda, with the pur-
nose after landing it there of shipping
f back to this country and entering
If under the revised statutes, either
for immediate consumption or for
warehouses. 10 the questions sub
mitted to him the Solicitor-General,
land Attorney-General approvingl
makes an extended and exhaustive
response. Addressing the Secretary,
in brief, be says that the meaning of
the word "export," in its dictionary
signitication, is to carry out of the
country by very fierce language.
This denotes only such act a. when
completed results In carrying out,
and no action be so denoted it at its
completion the thing carried has
been returned. 1t is no more true IN
common parlance than in law that
TRANSFORMATION of goods from San
Francisco to New Y ork is an expOrta-
ton of them, even although between
their departure and arrival they lie.
for some time in the ports of CallaO
and Rio Janeiro; furthermore, it is
not because by statute coastwise
transportation can only take
place in American bottoms
that such goods have not at
any D, riod of transit been exported.
1t would be equally true of goods in
the course of transportation in the
British bottoms from Ogdensburg
via Toronto to Chicago. 1t is there
fore only when this results in carry
ing goods out Of the country that the
transp in speaking of an act
includes any transaction done in ac-
coriance with the original intention,
no matter how complex or how
much broken into bits of unity the
intention unites all such details into
one whole. Therefore we are Of the
opinion that in the case put by you
in which the intention exists to carry
spirits to Bermuda for the purpose
after landing there of shipping back
to this country there will be no ex-
planation or consequently importa-
ton so far, at al events as to entitle
the owners to any privilege connect
ed with expectation or Importation,
whether they may be subject them
selves to another class of provisions
of custom laws is al obviously differ
ent matter, and will be decided when
a specific case arises.
