A HELENA special TO the Minneapolis
tribune, dated July 18th, says: '"There Is q
rumor here to the effect that . first class re-
publican newspaper is soon TO be established
with ex. United States Marshal Alexander
Botkin as editor. IL is said that the capital
stock Of $25, 900 has all been subscribed ex.
cept about $500, which can be speedily
raised. II Is not yet decided whether the
paper will be . morning or an evening sheet
Botkin, who represents what may be called
the anti Crosby element of the Republican
party OF the Territory, Is capable Of making
good paper, and Of keeping things lively in
the camp. The Democratic organ, behind
which powerful bank stands, threatens to
make some much needed improvements, ed
itorially and otherwise, so that altogether
the newspaper outlook Is quite an encourag-
Ing one"
Helena Herald, 21.-The published rumor
which connected ex. Marshal Botkin with Q
newspaper venture 10 not appreciably rel.
ished by that gentleman. Mr.. Botkin Is an
experienced and accomplished journalist,
and It may be that he will again enter the
field in which he has won many laurels and
found congenlal employment for bis brilliant
talents, but we understand he meditates no
enterprise here or elsewhere of the kind
reported distinct from journals now estab

THE PoPE,s APPOINTMENTS.
Leo XIII. Beginning 10 Make His Authority
Felt.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The Heraids Rome
special says: The Pope has accorded the
Cardinals Hat to Moran, Archbishop Of
Sydney, the Irish prelate, who for many
years was . crest favorite and q college
comrade of the Pope. The Pope also sp-
pointed Able Gravel, Vicar General Of the
Archbishopric Of Quebec, to be Bishop Of
the new diocese Of Nicollet, Canada. This
nomination Is regarded here IS an energetic
assertion of the Pope's authority, and .
marked disapproval Of certain unruly and
factious Catholics, whom his holiness con-
sIdered to be constantly growing and max
ing petty opposition TO his authority at the
Vatican. The Pope thus decides once for
all the long pending question Of splitting
up the diocese of Trols Rivieres into several
small dioceses. 1t will be remembered that
last year the Canadian Catholics organized
. movement against the Vatican and the
Canadian bishops, aud even sent delega-
ton TO Rome, which was coldly received.

LAND COMMISSIONER Sparks, July 18th,
addressed . letter to the register and re-
csiver OF the land Office 1t Walla Walla,
Wash, which IL, In effect, decision with.
drawing indemnity limits along nearly every
land grant railroad In the United States. A
Washington dispatch says: II affects not
less than $4,000 900 acres, as estimated by
the land Office authorities. or these, H.
100000 acres belong TO The Northern Pacific,
in whose limits the test case arose. A like
amount Is affected along the Atlantic q
Pacific, 5000, 900 along the Southern Pacific
and 100000 along the Texas Pacific.
Every land grant In Minnesota is affected by
the decision. The railroads have had some
income and not . little advantage by the
maintenance Of indemnity limits, reservlng
from public settlement large bodies Of land
lying parallel TO their grants. The effect
was to compress settlement within the
granted lands, and 90 enhance their value.
At the same time the roads have been In the
habit Of selling their waiver 10 the indem-
nifty lands whenever settler wanted to set
tie on them bad enough TO do 20. Besides
these, still other advantages were possible In
deferring the selection OF "lieu" lands, .
they are called. In some cases rich lands
have been held out Of market for twenty-five
years under the claims Of railroads. Obvi.
ously they had increased great deal In
value. This decision made to-day, II main.
tained, will compel the railroads to selec:
their lieu lands promptly. and not allow
them TO wait and reject poor grades Of land
In their grants and select In lieu Of It the
best Ia the Indemnity grants. 1t Is not IN
likely this action on the part of the general
land Office will greatly stimulate immigra.

New YORK, July 17.-Wm. II. Goddard,
Minneapolis merchant, who was clerk for
Austin Corbin, the banker, in 1873, and who
stole 5000 from Corbin's firm while In
their employ, was arraigned In general ses-
sions to-day. After Goddard took the
money, which belonged to a customer in

was known to have performed several heroic
acts during the yellow fever scourge in
Memphis. From there he went TO Minneap-
oils, where he became prosperous merchant
and prominent in society. In the curt to-
day, Corbins counsel stated that as Goddard
had made restitution and a good name for
himself, he did not care to press the charge.
Goddard presented Judge Cowing with .
petition in his favor, signed by sos citizens
of Minnesota, including Governor Hubbard
and Mayor Pillsbury. After some delibera-
ton Judge Cowing discharged Goddard on
his own recognizance.

Still the saying so may do more hurt than

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Times, in
. double-leaded Washington special says:
Secretary Manning Is about to impress on
the Government one important feature Of
Civil Service reform that most of the hot>
and-cold theorists have overlooked. He
finds be cannot have the cordial, earnest
cooperation necessary In his department
from the partisan custom house officers ap.
pointed solely for partisan services, and who
are the authors Of many abuses. He ex-
pected to make reforms, and he Is thorough
" In earnest In the work Of reforming the
revenue departments, but he finds his chief
obstacles in the partisan methods and psrti-
san officials now running the service. He
will, therefore, demand the right to make
his chief officials in harmony with himself
and the administration. The President did
not incline to . general change Of the chief
custom house officials, but Manning has
found himself handicapped in almost every
instance when trying to reach the bottom Of
abuses In the service. He will certainly re-
quire q general removal of all who sought
and received Office as partisan rewards.

TEA VIA NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The First Shipment Over the Northern
Line.

Crest interest Is manifested In Tacoma,
Portland and st. Paul in the Initiation by
the Northern Pacific Of the carrying trade OF
the Orient, which was announced many
years ago As one of the grest sources Of reve.
nue. for the road. The company Is now
receiving its first shipment Of tea over the
road. The following from the Pioneer
Press gives some interesting facts concern
ing II:
"Tbe Northern Pacific 1, hurrying all its
spare freight cars TO Tacoma, In order TO be
able to handle the cargo Of tho bark Isabel
upon It's arrival there. The company has
about forty five empty cars now At Tacoma
and will have rs many more there within
the next few days. The Isabel is expected
the fore part Of next week. She Is loaded
with two thousand tons of tea consigned 10
st. Paul, Chicago and New York. The
consignors are Frazsr Co., the Northern
Pacifics agents at Yokohama. 1t is esti.
mated that the tea will load ten tons 10 the
car, which will necessitate the use Of two
hundred cars. These will be run In special
air. brake trains of twenty cars each, making
ten trains In all. 1t Is probable that the
trains will double between Helena and
Glendive and between Mandan and st. Paul
as the grade between those points will per-
init Of such heavy trains. The trains will
be run through as specials, and upon time
card prepared especially for the occasion
The time TO be consumed in the trip will b.
something less than 175 hours. The rate
made by the Northern Pacific for this spe-
cial shipment is s1.75 per hundred, Yoko-
hama to New York. This Is much lower
than the regular rate. The rate by steamer
from Yokohama TO New York varies from
50 to S., according 10 the season. The sea
son opens about May. The first picking.
always command the highest prices, and
consequently, the shipper can afford to pay
higher freights than later In the season
when the crops are not so good. BY sailing
vessel the rate il about $2.25, but it also
varies. When the Northern Pacific entered
the field sailing rates dropped TO sl.75. Thi,
is lower rate than was ever quoted at thi.
season Of the year. Though this Is an ex
ceedingy low rate, the revenue received BY
the vessel and the railroad companies max
ing the rail haul will be sufficient to warrant
them continuing 1t should competition make
this the regular rate. This Is the first tel
shipment undertaken by the Northern
Pacific, and II the experiment proves sue
cess, and there is every indication that Il
will, a regular line Of sailboats between
Tacoma and Yokohama will be established
When the trade has been built up to sucf
proportions as will justify 1t, the Northern
Pacific company will put on . line o.
