of view. it may be so; but it is
nevertheless sound American politi-
cal and economic doctrine. MI. Par
nell will have the sympathy of this
country in the moderate measures of
reform which he demands.

JUDGE CASE.

We are creditably informed there
is no foundation in fact for the an
nouncement which has been madein
two or three Territorial papers that
the attorney general has asked Judge
Conger for his resignation. No deci-
sion has yet been reached in his case.
When it shall be reached the chances
are greatly in favor of the present
supposition in well-informed circles
that the Judge will be re-instated.
There is an urgent demand made that
some action should be Immediately
taken in the matter. Court business
in Custer county is suffering and
there is no one to look after it. The
Territorial Enterprise of the 18th
inst. in referring to it says: "Court
is being held in Miles City by the
deputy clerk, who adjourns it from
day to day without any business be-
ing done. Judge Wade, who is at
tending to that district, is occupied
with court in Meagher county for a
few days, and will then hasten to
Custer. Another judge for Montana
Is an urgent necessity. Judge Con-
ger should he reinstated or a success
sor appointed"

The Situation at Guaymas.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia dis
patch from Guaymas says: A copious
rain fell last night, clearing the at
mosrbere and bringing the ther-
mometer down to 81. The people
look upon it as the greatest blessing
that could have happened. as it will
prevent the spread of the fever.
Eight deaths are reported to-day.
The Project of Hernandez has is
sued orders that no bodies be buried
until pronounced dead by Il physI-
clan, and then to be retained in the
dead house three hours before in
terment.
Quite a number of Americans and
foreigners have died. At present 1t
is impossible to learn names.
General Cobb is here devOting him
self to those who applied for relief.
HermosillO advices state that The
fever is still raging badly at that
point.
II. Bernhart, a merchant of Quay
mss, recently arrived here, says the
causes Of the disease will be dissa-
pated by the first rains. The fever
appear every summer and no
one fears it. The violence of the fe-
yer this year is owing to the lack of
rain. The physicians declared it yell
low fever and created such a scare
that from that moment the people
laid down and died ike sheep and
the only business done was the trade
in collins. The most of those who
died were of the pooer GLASS; IS who

LONDON, Sept 1S.-The train with
O'Donnell aboard arrived safely.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to guard him. He was at once
driven to Null Bank and placed in a
cell. Subsequently the prisoner was
taken to Bow street and charged with
murder upon the high seas. At the
request of counsel for the crown the
prisoner was relnanded to Jail for a
week to await the arrival of Kava-
naugh, joseph Hanlan, Joseph
Smith and other Irish informers in
the Phoenix Park murder trials, who
arrived here August 9th, but were
not permitted to land, having been
shipped to Europe.
The prisoner gave his name at Bow
street Jail as Pat O'Donnell, though
be is described in the charge sheet as
Michael O'Donnell, peddler of Ga
doure county, Donegal, Ireland. He
will have able counsel, as steps are
being taken to secure the services of
a well known Irish member of par
Lament. The police are extremely
active in the nationalist quarters Of

Since w. A. G. Ryan and CON-

been as popular as formerly, and lit

Notwithstanding the furry created
in business circles by the great lard
failure in Chicago and the leather
failures in Boston, the business out
look of the country is reported prom
ising. The money panic prophesied
by a few old croakers has not v
taken the country, and from present
appearances is not likely to make its
appearance. A country a. rich and
varied in its resources as this should
not, with ordinary prudence on the
part Of its business men, suffer a
monetary panic. The great mines
and wheat fields of the Northwest
make a financial backboned for the
monied interests which ordinary re-
verses cannot break.
