THE PERMANENT RESERVES.

The permanent reservations to be set
apart for the Indians of northern Mon
tana are we'll located to prevent depre-
dations off the reservations by the red
men. Fort Ass;naboine, q permanent
post Of ten companies, is situated within
a few miles of the western boundary
line of the proposed Gros Ventre and
Assinaboine reservation, and will be a
perpetual check to the inroads of depre-
dating reds, and will prove an ample
protection to that portion of the restored
domain in the vicinity of the Bears
Paw, and which is tributary to Fort
Benton. Doubtless the situation of Fort
location of the new reservation, as de-
fined by Major Maginnis' bill, and from
that point of view it would seem like a
wise provision.
All that is lacking now-that is, if the
bill becomes a LAWS the establishment
of a military post in the vicinity of the
Piegan reservation on the upper Marias,
thereby keeping in check the we'll
known propensity Of the Piegan braves
to raid the ranges, and sometimes the
stables, of their white neighbors.s This
result can be easily effected by the re-
moyaI of Fort Shaw north to Birch
creek, or in that vicinity, where it will
serve the purpose indicated and at the
same time, by its proximity to the inter
national boundary line play a good part
in preventing the inroad of Crees and
other northern Indians, as we'll as inter-
cepting those criminals, most frequently
horse thieves, who make the Northwest
territory an asylum of safety.
There is no necessity whatever for q
military post where Fort Shaw is now,
although it has served a good purpose,
and the n the garrison is transferred
north to the Marias the better it will be
for the service and the people of north-
ern Montana.

American Pork,

ST. Louis, Mo-, March Is. = The
Westlische Post Of tomorrow will pub
lish extracts FROM Prince Bismarck's
letter to the German consuls in the
United States in regard to the export of
American pork. Bismarck instructs
the consuls to do everything in their
power to cultivate friendly relations be-
tween the two countries. He says that
the prohibition ofAmerican pork is for
sanitary reasons, and has NJ unfriendly
character whatever. He intimates that
it would be to the interest Of America to
ssaaopii such SANITARY measures as exist in
Europe. The. dispatch shows conclu-
sively that the great chancellor wishes
to preserve the friendly relations exist
ing between Germany and the United
States.

An Excited Crowd

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE sale
of tickets to-day for PATHS second APP
pearance, on Thursday next, resulted in
a rush riot greater than that of Wednes-
day. The crowd of over $500 strong
burst in the doors of the Grand Opera
House and smashed all the plants and
pictures in their way. The fury Of the
crowd was SO great that a young boy
who happened to be in their way was
picked up by a man and hurled through
a side door of the vestibule. The bow
was badly hurt. Mems coats, and wo-
mems dresses were torn from their
backs, and several women were SER
iously injured. The crowd threatened
to tear the box office down and gut
the whole building unless the box office
was opened. At this moment ~specula-
tors suddenly appeared offering to sell
IS tickets for SIS. The crowd gave them

better not repeat the offer unless they
wanted to be torn to pieces. they then
smashed in the windows OF the box
office. The agent escaped from his sea
and went for a detachment OF ponce.
After a hard struggle many were arrest
ed and peace re-established. 1t was n
nounced subsequently that no tlcke's

the purchasers would have to step ia the

honor in his own state: 'sThe appoint

his sterling worth, and have learned to
confide in him. In every contest since
the party was organized his voice has
been heard in all parts of the state,
cheering it on to victory, and his elo-
quence has grown with his years. At
the same time his integrity and patriot
ism are known to all men. The trusted
citizen, wise statesman, profound jurist,
gallant soldier-he is a leader that can
be lily spared at this juncture. Whether

THE DREADED PLAGUE.

The report Of the committee that, in
company with Governor Click, of Kan
sas, visited the affected district in Coffey
and Woodson counties, where the alarm
ing plague has made its appearance, re-
veals the fact that the disease is beyond
mouth disease, which stockmen have so
much cause to fear. The disorder first
manifested itself about the holidays,
and for a long time the trouble was sup
posed to have been caused by the freez-
ing of the parts affected. The inspecting
committee found the afflicted animals
lying or hobbling about c%orrals, manv
with their hoofs gone, and some with
their legs sloughed off up to the first
joint. In the few cases where the sup
peration began in the hoof, the animals
have recovered. In cows the disease
makes its appearance in the udder, and
is readily communicated to their calves.
After q thorough investigation of all in
tested yards, the party returned to Neo-
sho Falls, where a public meeting was
held, which was very largely attended.
1t was addressed by Gov. Click, who
counseled immediate action and strict
quarantine. He thought that if $15,O 900
or $4,000 could be raised by the boards
Of commissioners Of the two counties,
and ~judiciously used, the disease could
be checked where it was. The disease |
IS very contagious and can be conveyed |
from n herd to another in the clothes |
or on the shoes of persons, by dogs, rab-
bits or other animals passing from one
farm to another. DR.. Holcomb urged
the adoption Of strict quarantine and
other regulations Immediately to stop
its progress. A committee was then ap-
pointed to take charge Of the whole
matter, and funds were raised to meet
all immediate expenses.
There is no doubt that the cattle in
terests OF the state are in jeopardy, and
should this disease become diffused over
the state the result would be most disas-
astrous. It is believed that with such
action as will be taken, the contagion
will be stamped out, and it is certain
no effort will be spared looking to
that end. A special from LeayenWorth,
Kansas, says: "A delegation of stock
men and veterinary surgeons left here
for Woodson county, where the
'isease is making great ravages among
he cattle. Advices from the Neosho
ralIey are to the effect that the disease
hreatens' to annihilate the cattle indus
~ Of that region. The disease started
n a large herd belonging to Lieut.. Gov.
Finney, and every one of them are
lead. The rot begins in the hoof joint,
.ottening the hoof off, and simultane-
it appears in the mouth" These
acts should put the stockmen of Mon
ana on their guard. It is true we are
ar removed from the infected district,
out it il just possible that by the ship
ment Of cattle from the western states
here the disease may be introduced, and
quarantine SO far as necessary should be

Fenian Activity.

FARGO, D. T., March 13.-There are
reports of unusual activity among the
Fenians. To-day it was learned that a
committee had gone to Manitoba, and
that they promise things will be lively
in a few weeks time. They have $500
breech loading rifles within a short dis
lance of the frontier, and it is said that
a scheme has been planned, and that
the time for action will oon arrive. All
communication from Manitoba will be
stopped, and Fenian correspondents re-
port that the Dominion government has
but 1000 troops in the whole of that
country.

The Cattle Disease.

TOPEKA, KS, March 13.-In obedience
to almost universal demand from every
part of the state, in view of the enor-

has issued a proclamation converting the
legislature in special session March 18th
to consider the cattle plague now exist
ing in several counties in the state,
known as the mouth and foot disease,
and to adopt measures which may abso-
lutely stamp it out. There are $4,000
900 worth Of cattle and $3.50, OOO, 600
worth of sheep in Kansas.
