FRENCH CUSTOMS.
A Protective Tariff Will Proba-
blV be Adopted.

PARIS, Oct. 13.-In the Chamber OF pepu-
esto-day Marquis de Roys interpeilatedth the
regarding the economic Crisis.
He demanded the same protection for ag-
rieultnre as for the manufacturing industry
Ferry replied that the government was
equally solicitous Of both Industries. The
truth of this position, he declared. was
shown by the proposed increase OF the tariff
ON cereals. He thought tne present time,
this subject, and therefore moved the order
Of the day, pure and simple. Adopted by a
vote of 259 to 173.
Meiine, the Minister OF Agriculture. will
amend the bill Increasing duties on foreign
live stock so as to make the duty on oxen 30
francs head, sheep francs, swine 10
francs. He will also support the demand OF
the Council General OF Aisne that the gov.
ernment. shall levy only two francs per
hundred weight ON wheat and four francs
per hundred weight on flour The French
press is absorbed in the discussion OF pro
tective duties.
The Repubiica Francafse says: The ecouo-
mic crisis through which France is now
passing can only be cured by the sovereign
increase, Il contends. Will ameliorate the
distress OF the agricultural industry, will
lower the price Of transportation and make
more abundant circulation OF money
throughout the interior of the country.
The Rdppel declares that the Melines pro
ject will fnd lessening support when II IL
seen 1t will increase the price Of bread and
meat The Deputies will think twice before
approving II.
The Radical says great majority Of the
Commission on protective duty Is favorable
10 the Melines proposal.
The proposals Of the Minister Of Agriculture
to increase the duties are opposed by Rou
vier, the New Minister Of Commerce, but ara
approved by Tirsrd, Minister OF Finance

ing settled, the commissioner, secre-
tary and delegate would use their
united efforts to carry the bill through
next session, and thus not only open
the country to settlement but provide
some permanent provision for these
indians, the recent accounts of whose
want and deaths by starvation
shocked the country. In regard to
the s2l 900 appropriated for the relief
Of Charles Indians in the Bitter creek
valley, the Secretary said that Agent
Roman had been instructed to use his
influence to induce the Indians to re.
move to.the Jocko. An inspector had
also been sent out to look into the diff
ficulty between the Cheyennes and
the stock men on the Tongue river.
An agreement was reached on the
above points which will be carried out
at another meeting before the Secre-
tary, who is going to Colorado for
thirty days, takes his departure.
After this business, is arranged, Mr..
Maginnis will go to Montana.

Al 81. Paul's Church.

A large and attentive congregation
assembled at st. Pauls church last
evening, and were treated to a most
interesting discourse by Rev. Mr..
Horsfall on the Truths Of Christian
ity. While the sermon was In no
wise reply to the lecture Of Robert
Ingersoll, 1t was relevant to the sub
ject to review the lives and teachings
Of all, the noted atheists and oppo-
nents from the time Of Christ down to
the present day. This was charitably
but forcibly done by the reverend gen.
tleman. Mr.. Inyersoll was briefly
alluded to as producing in his letures
no argument that had not been
handed down by all his predecessor,
and In spite Of which the religion Of
Christ had steadily increased its fol-
lowers from its inception till to-day.
The sermon was Of unusual length but
was attentively listened to till its
close. Rev. Hector b. Cloves, Of
Helena, was present and assisted in
the service Of the evening.

Mishaps and Mentions.
Custer County Wool.

The latest reports on the wool clip
OF Custer county places it at about
$4,000 pounds. Already aG6,5l9
pounds have been shipped and there
are 1000 pounds yet to go east. This
In 1854 nearly quadruples the ship
ments of 1883, which were o.. los
pounds. The price at Miles City thus
far this season has averaged about Is
cents per pound. Some Of our wool
growers complain Of the freight rates
at present and say that the rate Is now
500 per 100 pounds from Miles City
to Boston against sl.ss last season.
This should not be If the present price
Of the staple is taken into considera-
tion which IL about cents per pound
below last year. The same complaint
comes from the Bitter Rost valley.
The New Northwest says: ~"Mr. A.
j. Davidson, who has purchased The
bulk of the wool of Bitter Root valley
for several years past, reports pur-
chases light, that wool buyers are only
offering Is to l6 cents while growers
ask Is to 20 cents per pound, that
Montana wool: was averaging last
week about 10 cents In Boston, with
the finest lots running to Il cents
about 4 cents below last year, that
freight To Chicago was S2.l5 and to
Boston $40 per cwt. from Missoula,
that eastern houses had reduced their
advances to 10 cents per pound and
some had stopped advancing alto
gether." From other papers we notice
that ]. solomon of Missoula has pur-
chased much of the crop Of the Bitter
Root valley at from Is to II cents per
pound. Mr.. Solomon figures that the
total clip of the BitterlRoot this season
will amount to l25, 900 pounds.
The eastern commissions on wool
are from I to u cents per pound for
handling and Z per cent. interest on
advances. The New Northwest says
the clip Of Montana last year was
5000, 900 pounds and estimates that 1t
will DO 100000 pounds this year.
The higher freights and lower prices
make a considerable decrease from
the expected realization from wool at
present. As regards prices We notice
that the Pacific coast Is no better than
the eastern markets. Quotations from
Portland last week were; Wool, val.
ley, lac Ice; Eastern Oregon, li@ l7c
per pound.

Good and Had Luck.

The smiling though somewhat
bronzed visage of Chris Ramme was
seen on our streets yesterday. Chris
has but recently returned from trip
to the Musselshell whittier he went
last May to purchase q band Of sheep.
He started during the severe snow
storm of that month and met with
several mishaps on the road. Arriving
at his destination he purchased
band of 1000 sheep, containing go
ewes from which he CD aimed before
starting on the home dr. We 53l lambs.
While waiting for the Ian bling TO get
through with, his camp outfit was de-
stroycd by fire and himself, son and
daughter rendered nearly destitute of
the necessaries of life, 80 miles from
anywhere. Recruiting from this
misfortune, he drove to Pease Bottom
where he made his clip and had the
satisfaction of realizing from $40 fieeces,
1855 pounds of wool, nearly u pounds
to the) fleece, which is as far as we
know the largest this season. His
sheep will shortly be started for his
ranch near here. His good fortune in
lambing aud shearing so far overbal-
ances the mishaps of the trip that he is
in prime good hnmor aud will enter
on his fall and winter work with great
satisfaction.

The very fact of having these bad
land ranges back of our summer range
Is the keystone of success in cattle

II the bad land ranges were supplied
with water during the summer, the
cattle would DRIFT off through there,

Mule Colts.

Mr. Frewen, who Is interested in
the horse ranch of Frewen & Barber,
l20 miles south on the Powder river,
returned here yesterday. He spent a
couple Of days on the ranch, found
grass good and the stock doing well.
They are breeding mules. using four
jacks and $50 mares, all selected stock
which he brought up from Kentucky
two years ago. He says he has this
season about one hundred and fifty
mule colts, that they are looking tip
top and are very lively. Some OF last
years mule colts are fifteen hands
high, the same heighth as the jacks.
He says there is one curious feat
ure about the young colts, which
Is that several of them often show q
disposition to claim one mother and
his men have to lvOk out for that and
make them keep their places as much
as possible.
Mr.. Frswen referred to the annoy.
ances caused by the Cheyennes along
the Tongue and Powder rivers, espec-
tally by the wandering bands that
lately came up from Pine Ridge
Agency. He thinks that there are
about three hundred of the latter
rowing around the country. claiming
to be hunting but with no visible
means of subsistence. He says the
Doherty family will most likely reach
Miles City to-day, having been forced
to leave their home on account Of the
Cheyennes. Mr.. Frewen is a well
known Englishman, who was the
first TO put cattle on Powder river in
1878. The horse ranch Is only small
part Of his business. He and his
brother are largely interested In stock
In this territory and Wyoming. His
brother is now in England looking
principally after permission from the
Privy Council to land our northwest.

This would increase the shipment of

ems spend about half thei. time In
this country and half in Europe, aud

condition and disposition of the var
ious Indian tribes In Montana. Mr..

He claimed that none of the Sioux be.

ooaxed and driven up to Fort Peck In
furthoranee of the designs and pilfer-
ings of the indian ring In 1872. The
Cheysnnes on Powder river, he
thought, should also he incorporated
with the rest Of their nation, either ut
Red Cloud or elsewhere. He held
all kindred Indians speaking the
same language should be gathered to-

Of the Interior department, and p. w.

Of their reservation that lies west of
Pompey's pillar, on the Yellowstone,
and open the same for settlement, re-
serving to the Crows the valleys Of

The body of Henry M. Calkins oi Stafford was found on Sunday morning lying by the road side near the residence of the late Dea. Oren Pomeroy. The medical examiner returned a verdict of death by exposure. The body was par tially frozen, and appearances indicated that 1t fell from the wagon while in an un- conscious state, but the shock from the fall was not sufficient to restore sensibility, and the terrible weather soon put an end to what life remained.
 We learn that Mrs. Charles Morgan of Springfield, but formerly of Somers, has suffered partial shock of paralysis, and is failing.
