The District MILITIA.

PLANS OF ORGANIZATION SUGGESTEp-A PROPOSITION
TO PLACE ONE OF TIE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS IN
COMMAND As BRTGADIER GENERAL, ETC.
There IS evidently a dfsinclinatlon on the part Of
the War department authorities to take any steps
towards briu yng the District militia organizations
under one command until their legal status and
regulations are fixed by Congress The Secretary
or War has under consideration, however. various
plans for reconcng temporarily the existing diff
Cutics, nearly all Of which require the appointment
OF brigadier general by the President, who shall
have complete command over all OF the District
militia cen. Benet chief OF ordnance. and Others
have recommended that one OF the district Com
niesioners be made the bngadier general, as in
that way the desired object OF placing the militia
under control OF the District government viii be
gained

A Long Tramp.

The New York Sun contains a long
article descriptive of the adventures of
the adventures Of one Max K. MOrg,
victim OF the Coeur d'Alenes. Last
Christmas Max stole 5000 from his
New York employees and hastened to
the Names. He opened ahotel in COM
pany with a partner. His partner
took tho money, the sheriff took the
hotel and Max took the road to tramp
back to New York. He started May
10th without cent in his pocket; he
reached New York in the same cOndi-
ton June 24th. having been forty-li i've
DAYS on the road. He says he did not
walk IS miles Of the whole distance
and never earned any money during
the trip though he did work for his
board on several occasions. His story
of his experiences in Montana are con-
siderably tinctured with the glamour
of outlawry that "doth hedge about"
Montana as seen from New York.
Max has been arrested and is now in
jail awaiting trial for stealing the
5000.

The Fight at Lewiston.

From the Mineral Argus the EN-
TERPRIsE summarizes correct re-
port of the bloody Fourth Of July
celebration at Lewiston, Judith Basin,
Meagher county. Two men, one of
whom was in every appearance des'
perate plainsman and the other but
little better. had driven small band
of horses tproba bly, stolen) into that
vicinity and were trading or selling
them. The desperado-looking fellow
called himself 'Rattlesnake Jak e.
Owen; the other gave his name as
Charles Fallon. Fourth of July morn
ing they came into town to enjoy the
fan. Two outsiders got into a dis
pute and Jake came around with re-
volver in his hand and knocked one of
the disputants down by hitting him
across the face with gun. Jake had
his taste of blood and was heard to re-
mark to Fallon that he guessed they
would run the town. The two en-
tered a saloon and quickly took a
number OF drinks. Jake then stepped
up to an unoffending half breed
named Doane, and fired at but missed
him. Doane drew his revolver, fired
and struck Jake in the fingers. by
that time all the villagers who owned
guns had them in hand and many were
using them. Fallon was on his horse
shooting with Winchester. A shot
from the crowd took him in the ab-
domen. and he fell forward on the
horn of his saddle, but wheeling his
horse he retired 400 yards, behind a
building. and joined his partner Jake.
Then kneeling on the ground he took
deliberate aim and fired at Ben Smith,
who was running to get out of the
way of the flying bullets. Smith fell
dead. The citizens then closed around
the desperadoes and ln Il few minutes
both were dead. owens body was
wounded by nine bullets, while Fal-
Ions carried five of the leaden mes.

jured. The two mistaken and mis-
guided desperadoes were given decent
burial at the hands of the men whom
they had intended to terroriZe. Owens
is said to have been Il prospector
known to many in the Black Hills and
Montana.

series of assays of ore taken from the
Stella and other leads in Mill creek IN
which he is interested. One test made

mostly the latter. A number of other
ASSAYS run only little lower. The

Joaquin Miller: When buffalo, the
noblest native beast of America, falls dead
on the plains, you soon begin to see little
black specks in the sky. At first these
little black specks away up in the deep
blue sky seem no larger than gnats. Then
they grow to the dimensions of hats and
are circling round and round; descending
little at every circle, growing nearer and
nearer, larger and larger. till you can at
last, see their long nccks reaching out and
looking down, down, down as they decend.
These are buzzards. And, too, when this
monarch of the plains falls and is surely
dead, securely and certainly dead, there
comes creeping stealth'ly over the hill,
his sharp, little nose shifting blood, his big,
bushy tail between his legs and trailing OH
the ground as he croeps and sneaks along,
the dirty, little prairie wolf. This little,
sneaking wolf, this natural thief Of ths
plains. will have his teeth in the dead
beasts launches in less than five minutes,
while the buzzards are picking out his eyes.
And then the larger wolves come; long
black line streaming and stringing over the
low hills through the long, strong grass,
their red tongues out, and their white teeth
glistening sharp and eager for their work.
By and by you see bugs, loathsome, buzz
zing bugs, that make droning, solemn
sound as they 90 by your ear or strike you
full in the face. They, to, will have
share of the deal monarch and will bur-
row in his skin and finally roll and revel
and rear their young in the offal when all
others have gone away. And this is the
pitifnl emil Of the greatest brute of the
plains. Mans estate, if there is nothing
Of him but the brute, nothing Of him but
his gold and great, strong box, is no bet

A Seizure That Was Nos a Seizure.

Tuesday complaints were made by respon-
sible citizen that W. S. Mains, the we'll known
dealer in native wines, was selling his goods
in the city, and two warrants were sworn out
by him, one relating to Mr.. Mains house and
the other to his store-house. both places being
located in one building on Plum street. The
warrants were given to the Marshal to serve
and accordingly four policemen were detailed
to make the seizure that night The officers
did SO, but as it was evident that the stock was
large and valuable and that il would be i'm
possible to move it that night without great
loss, if there should prove to be any defect in
the warrants, two of the policemen were sent
back to duty, and the other two ordered to
watch the goods until morning. One of the
two left on guard was an officer whose beat
Denham's store, but the other officer on that
beat was not disturbed but continued his
duties there as usual. Yesterday morning the
compl ainant in the case found he had made
mistake. 1t seems that somebody had seen
Mr.. Mains going out and into his house with
a jug, quite frequently, and supposed he car
ried liquor in and out This person notified
the complainant end that gentleman con-
sequently made his complaint. After making
it he found that Mr.. Mains used the jug to
convey drinking-water, and that Mr. Mains
had not been selling contrary to law. Con-
sequently the complainant withdrew his COM
plant, endorsing the facts on the warrants, and
Mr.. Mains also endorsed on the warrants the
statement that everything was satisfactory to
him. The officers we're of course withdrawn.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The Financial sisuatiou.

Is it a fever or an old fashioned Consumption?
week ago men said that the New York scare was a
ftful thing and that few days would witness re-
turn to the normal condition. The failures of brok-
ers and banks were only local disturbances; trade
was in no way affected, and in brief time the air
would be sweeter for all this calamity. We we're
next told that the patient was well. 1t was only
quick fever. But the surface indications mislead
the common observer. The disease is deeper than
was thought to be the In fact the drop upon
the patient, and the end is not yet.
We fail to see the evidences of quick returning
health. We grant that the recent purging may
have been for the greatest good, but strength has
been taken out of the body by the attack. To come
to plain facts, most people have been sadly disap-
pointed that the reaction from the semi-panic of
week since has not been followed by buoyancy and
relief. slight advance in prices came as was nat
ural. But quiet, weakness and dropping figures
follow. And we think that this is legitimate and
that still lower range of values will yet be seen.
As we have previously shown in these columns, the
causes which produced disaster have not fully
worked out their rghtful ends. Too much water
was put into nearly all enterprises, and The liquid
has not yet been squeezed ont. The earnings of
railroads are far below the point which justihes in
yestment at high figures. The crops may be never
SO excessive but if there be no foreign outlet the
producer will reap slight profit. The conditions
of most manufacturing interests warrant short
time, and a reduced production. Trade in our
larger cities is VIGOROUSLY dull and based upon too
meagre profit. Foreign orders for stocks and
bonds are reported but the transactions at the Ex
change show that such claims are exaggerated Nor
do we believe that foreign investors will purchase
largely until more honest and open conduct of
our leading railways is to be depended upon One
man power is the cause of our railway systems;
when one man can so change the tariff of a trunk
line to work loss to fifty other roads, the stranger
