enue would leave $4,000 for county
expenses the first year. without men
iioning the 90 per cent. of licenses
which would also go into the county
treasury.
1t is claimed by good judges that
the cost of running the new county the
first year. by strict economy, would
not exceed $4,000, which, if so, will
leave a handsome balance in the
treasury.
The Judith basin is 66x46 miles,
containing 2,oo4 square miles, or nearly
eight hundred miles more than the
state Of Delaware, yet the Husband
man says "our valleys are small"
The Husbandman says the county
has only been able to support full
''corpse" of officers couple of years
Probably if they had all been alive the
revenues OF county would have been
more closely gathered into the treasury.
The history OF criminal prosecution
in this county since its organization
is disgrace to civilization; farce in
every instance, and the county has suf-
fered to the extent Of thousands of
dollars. You can't administer the
laws properly in a county containing
twenty thousand square miles. The
hanging Of horse thieves last fall was
a striking example of the ''speedy
administration of justice"
The puerile whine about town lots
and Office seekers does not figure in
our case and is unworthy OF consider
alton. II we are strong enough and
have sufficient wealth to assume the
responsibilities of new county, the
remainder of the county has no rig It
to enter protest. The immigration
into this section in the next two yea.
bids fair to be greater than to any
other portion of Montana. With the
seat of county government located
at some convenient point, it would
enhance the value Of property of every
description, stimulate new industries,
build up towns, attract the attention
Of capital, give better security for their
investments, and curtail all expenses
in criminal and civil actions. The
people are tired Of travelling from
one hundred to one hundred and
I I seventy sc Eve miles To reach the county
seat and demand division.

Pleads not Guilty.

GIBRALTAR, April 1.-THE private
correspondence Of Zobehr Pasha, which
seized at the time of his arrest in
Alexandria for reasonable utilization
with III Mahdi, has arrived here in Gus
tody of an interpreter. The c%orrespon-
dence is all in Arabic and has been sub
mitted to the perusal of the governor of
Gibraltar. Zobehr says there is nothing
in the correspondence to show he had any
communication with FL Mahdi. He also
denies that he was in Eeyptacting for the
prophet, and insists he went from Soudan
to Alexandria for no other purpose than
to transact some legitimate business.

tonight, as Marguerite in Faust,
drew a crowd that filed the immense
auditorium TO overlooking. Though a
heavy rain fell most of the day and during
the performance, the seats were all filed
and the standing room as densely packed
as at any time since the opening. The
audience was more than demonstratiye. At
the close of the third act Patti was forced
to respond to four recalls. The audience
evinced its appreciation of Nine. Scalchi,
and Nicolina, De Anna and Cherubina,

topheles'' respectively, shared the hnnors

aladstone,s Expectatlona.

LONDON, April I7.-Gladstone, in the
house of ommon this afternoon stated
that the government had to-day received
from Sir Peter Lumsden a reply to their
request for an independent report upon
the Penjdeh incident. In this it is stated
that Gen. Komaroff was aware at as early
a date as the 2sth of March, Of the under
standing agreed upon on March II be
tween Russia and England. According
to the terms Of this understanding, Eng
land was to deter the Afghans and the
car was to deter his troops from advanc-
ing beyond the positions they then re
spectively occupied, until some subsequent
agreement about the demarcation of the
Afghan frontier could be reached between
the two governments. The battle on the
Kushk river was, therefore, several days
after Gen. Komaroff had been made aware
of the agreement to not advance. 1t will be
remembered that Capt. Yates. the British
officer who witnessed the battle, was as
sured By the Russian officer who COM
manded in the fight that he knew nothing
Of the understanding ofthe nth Of March.
Sir Peter Lumsden's present report ap-
pears to warrant the inference that what
ever Gen. Komaroff knew officially about
ST. Petersburg's agreement with London,
he kept to himself. Gladstone being
asked if the government had protested
against the recent occupation Of Penjdeh
by Gen Komarof, and his establishment
of a Russian administration there, answer
ed that the government had not yet made
either occurrence the subject Of official COM
m~unication with Russia The govern
ment was awaiting further information,
tie premier said, concerning these events.

THE PANAMA WAR.
Another Rebel Attempts to
Seize the Country.
He is Promptly Captured and
Put in Jail.
The City Of Colon Wrecked by
Fire and Bullets.


NEW YORK, April l7.-Advices By
mail from Panama to the sth inst. are
received. The story of the burning of
Colon, near Aspinwall, is given as fol-
lows: A lawyer named Preston seized
the opportunity in the absence of the pre-
feet of Colon with all the troops for the
purpose OF meeting Gen. Sizpurp, who
had attacked Panama, to seize the city of
Colon. He levied forced loans and col
Iected a mixed force, which caused much
apprehension among the merchants and
citizens. On March 20, the Pacific Mail
steamer. Colon. arrived with arms and
a~mmunitions. Preston demanded these
munitions and upo a refusal of his de-
mand by the Pacific Mail officers he i'm
prisoned them. He sent word to Com
mander Galena that these prisoners would
be released if the munitions were de-
livered to him, and they would be shot If
any marines were landed. Commander
Kane then took charge of Colon in the
name of the United States. Preston sub
sequently had an engagement with troops
from Panama and was defeated. the Pa
cifc Mail officers escaping during the
fight. About noon on the Both, men
from Panama. numbering some 100, adj
vanced upon the town and a heavy fire
ensued. The scene in the town beggars
description. Bullets were flying in all
directions and the terrified populace.
abandoning homes and fortunes were
seeking safety in fight. The tow was
entirely constructed Of wood and bullets
passed through houses as if they had
been cardboard. When defeat became
certain to Preston, the fires commenced.
Preston is now, with many others, in
close confinement. Directly one fire
started a dozen were set in different di-
r%ectious. A strong wind was blowing
and a pandemonium of fire, robbery,
shooting and misery ensued. All who
could fed on board ships.
The United States marines and sailors
are reported to have acted admir-
ably. Troops from the English gunboat
Lilly were also landed and assisted in
keeping guard. This guard caught many
plunderers as did also the men of the
Galena. All caught redhanded we're
tried and on the following day shot. Fifty
eight persons, among whom it is believed
were many innocent people, were TINS
summarily dispatched. During the fight
between the troops which went hence and
Preston's people, some twenty or thirty
persons were killed, while many more
we're wounded. All these were burned
during the fire and the charred remains
of all yet cucumber the streets. Flame 3
flashed through houses. in hundreds of
which were powder, alcohol. liquors and
general merchandise stored in immense
quantities, and frequent explosions from
which added terror to the scene. The
panic stricken %populace we're almost with
out provisions or water for two days.
Whist the troops recklessly taken from
here by Gen. Comma to fight in the
streets of Colon we're thus leading to the
destruction of that W the streets of
| Panama were resounding with rifle shots.

vious days by commissioners sent hence
