The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1885-03-27

WE THINK Governor Carpenter is receiv-
ing unmerited censurs for his "pocket veto'
of the Bozeman and Butte Railroad Exemp-
tion bill. He objected to 1t, Is is stated, on
legal point, and . veto might have been
sustained Or might not. 1t was sufficient
that he objected to 1t In the belief that 1t
violated the organic lsw of the Territory.
Right there, so believing, 1t was his duty to
prevent II from going on the Statute books,
and he did 1t under the authority vested In
him. The Governor is . coordinate branch
Of the Legislature. II either the House or
Council had held the bill was In violation Of
the organic law and defeated 1t on that
ground, no exception could have been taken.
The Governor has the same power within
the three days preceding the end Of the SEES
sion, and exercised 1t. It is stated he had
the bill eleven hours and might have sent in
veto message. II he believed the bill was
In violation Of the laws Of the United States,
which be Ia sworn to uphold, he had no right
to risk the Council and House passing 1t
over veto when to not veto 1t assured its
death. The plea that . veto would have
enabled bill, Invested Of the Objectionable
feature, to have been drawn and put through,
10 not to the point. The Governor had only
to consider the bill that came to him. Nei-
Their does his action on the School Book bill
have any bearing on the case In point. Be

THE PESIrESTIARY APPROPRIATION.

Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
the recent session Of Congress, In the sundry
civil expense act, did appropriate SIS 900 for
the completion Of the United States penitsn-
tiary 1t Deer Lodge, Montana. We have re-
ceived an Official copy Of the act containing
the appropriation clause. The expenditure
Is 70 be made under direction Of the Depart
ment of Justice, and Is Invested Of the con-
trolling clause In the previous appropriation
Of Sl5, 900, which required the expenditure
TO be made according to the "original plans,"
which were in some points manifestly defec-
tive. We believe the entire south wing can
be built Of Caribou granite, with three tiers
Of brick cells-ferty.two In number-for the
amount appropriated, giving two and one
half times the present incarceration facii-
ties. There IL now piled up at the site Of
the proposed wing over 400 perch Of granite
purchased and delivered out of the SIS 900
appropriation in addition 10 erecting the
central building, which will be about one
half the rock required for the south wing, as
the north wall Of 1t, being the south wall Of
the central building, is already In place. We
presume this appropriation Is now available,
and immediate measures should be taken to
secure the erection Of the building. There
Is no reason We can see why the construc-
ton should not be commenced by the middle
Of May, - the balance Of rock required
could be delivered before 1t would be needed
and builders would have the benefit Of the
best working season. As there Is no plaster.
Ing, painting or finishing work Of conse-
suence TO DO done on the interior, four
months wonld be ample time within which
to erect and complete the structure, so that
by the middle Of September the building
should Be ready for occupancy, and the sew
eral county Jails relieved Of convicts held
there. The Department Of Justice, Dele
gate Maginnis and eI. Governor Crosby uni
ted efforts in securing this much-needed act,
and are entitled to the thanks of Montana
therefor.
We notice there is an appropriation
OF $4,000 made for construction and
completion" Of the penitentiary In Utah, to
supersede the present adobe structure there,
and the action Ii ominous Of the needs OF
greater and better facilities for taking care Of

RIEL's SECOND REBELLION.

It appears Louis Risl, who melted and led
the Red River Rebellion In 1870, is again
making trouble for Her M.jesty's subjects in
the far North. For some years after his
former exploits he took refuge In Montana,
but went North again year or two ago and
has been among the half-breeds and Indians
near Prince Albert over whom he appears 70
have had sufficient influence to incite an
ether well. matured revolt, which developed
some ten days ago, by defying the Mounted
Police and the volunteers and the Queens
authority and everything else that would
make true Briton wrathy. On receipt Of
the news at Winnipeg, Col. Houghton, Ad-
jutsnt. General, telegraphed to Ottawa for
instructions and evidently received advices
to suppress Riel by force of arms, for advices
from Winnipeg last Monday stated that
Mounted Police, artillery and volunteers
we're being hurried forward to Prince Al
bert, where the situation was critical.
The grounds ofcomplaint Of the rebellious
lf-breeds 10 that the act Of 1870 gave to
each hslf-breed living In Manitoba
240 acres of land. Those living outside that
province claim they should not have been
excluded from the benefits Of that act, and
that they should At least receive patents for
the lands they have been cultivating since
1852. Their claims are under consideration
by tie Dominion Interior Department, but
II has been slow in reaching conclusions, and
Riel has induced 1t least some Of the half.
breeds to hurry up matters by the present
course.
While the half-bresds and Indians 10 this
rising are In . hopeless minority, they may
do serious evil before they are suppressed.
They are generally armed, and aside from
the damage that may result TO property, there
are . large number Of white women and
children In the settlement who may be VIC
Tins. Some time since the Dominion gov
eminent disbanded the Volunteer companies
In the Northwest Territory and took away
the arms from the white settlers, relying upon
the Mounted Police to dispense and enforce
justice. The white settlers were very In
dignant at this, and now find themselves
disarmed in the midst Of danger. They
have, however, remained loyal, and - the
arms were still kept 1t Battleford they will
doubtless be rsissued II circumstances re-
qulre 1t.
II would seem the rebellious half.breeds
have some grounds for complaint against the
Dominion authorities for equitable II not
technically legal rights that have been de-
MED, ignored or their recognition delayed.
Their method Of securing redress Of their
grievances ID not likely, however, to result to
the benefit Of those engaging in the revolt
and 1t 10 not unlikely their leader, II caught,
will be sumnarily dealt with.

Eveats Prior to Graham's Advance Toward
Berber.

SUAKIh, Harch 23.-The guards who have
returned from Zereba report the total Brit
ish loss during the fight Sunday at five Off
GERS and fifty one privates killed and ITO
wounded. The rebel loss was fully 1900.
Owing to the labor involved, II was decided
not to shift Gen. McNeil's troops who are
engaged In dragging the bodies of the slain
toward Zereba. Dense heaps of corpses of
rebels and native camp followers are mingled
with the carcasses of 500 camels. The
ground is strewn with rides, spears and
shields.
SUAkIh, March 23.-Osman Digna has
10000 men at lama. Gen. Graham will
reach lama, and give Osman Digna battle
tomorrow. 1t will be pitched fight and
probably more decisive than any that has
yet occurred.
Later-Offcial accounts place the losses of
the Arabs in yesterdays fight at 1000 all
told. If these figures are correct the losses
of the enemy exceed those Of any battle of
the past three years.
KoRTI, March 23.-General Wolseley has
ordered the evacuation Of Korti. Cases Of
typhoid fever, dysentery and sun stroke are
increasing among the troops. The heat Is
intense. The troops will proceed to en-
trench lines at Debbeb, Aani, and Dongsla.
LONDON, March 24.-The So. james Ga
zette denounces the "incapacity shown At
headquarters" and says, "This murderous
military scuffie would never have happened
If Generals McNeill and Graham had taken
precautions which should have occurred to .
cadet" The general press comments in the
same tone.
LONDON, March 24.-The War Office is
dissatisfied with General Grabam's manage
ment Of the advance, aud he will probably
be recalled.

DECIDEDLY wARL1KE.
The Anglc-Russian Complication Looks
Very Threatening.
A War Imminent Any Day.

BosToN, March 25.-The Herald prints the
following private cable dispatch, received In
Boston from reliable source, which says !:
"There Is great excitement in London. It
is reported that $4,000 militia have been
called out. Rumors are that Russia has re-.
jected the English proposals."
LONDON, March 25.-The tension between
Russia and England over the Afghan ques-
ton has increased. The stock market Is ex-
cited and British consuls are half and Rus
sian securities one per cent. lower than at
the close last evening.
The Cabinet held a special session this
afternoon. Concerning the Afghan Difficult
ties 1t was resolved 10 firmly demand Of Rus
sia that she commence forthwith the work
Of eliminating the Afghan frontier in &C
cordance with the understanding under
which Sir Peter Lumsden and the British
surveying party passed 50 many months in
In the Ameer's dominions. All officers be-
longing to the British Indian army and now
in Europe on furlough have been ordered
Immediately to rejoin their respective regi-
regiments.
CHICAGO, March 25.-Private foreign sd-
vices Of warlike tenor accompanied by an
other drop in British consols created very
feverish feelings in the wheat market. At
the opening this morning another sharp ad-
vance in the price of May wheat, which
closed at 500; opened at s0!; advanced to
sOs and then fell back to sOs at which figure
the market is more settled, but the general
feeling is very nervous and unsettled. Corn
advanced to AZ for May, but fell off ]. Pro-
visions are shade stronger.
LONDON, March 25.-Earl Granville to-
day sent for the Turkish ambassador and
Hssson Teni Pasha, special envoy of the
Sultan, and had an interview with them. 1t
Is rumored that the interview is owing to the
report from Constantinople of Russo-Turk-
ish alliance against England.
LONDON, March 25.--The stock market at
the close was depressed under the influence
of the increase in preparations for war. Con.
soils closed 97.1-16, the lowest figure yet
reached since the commencement of the
Anglo Russian dispute.
LONDON, March 25.-Additional reports
say 10000 Russian troops are proceeding
from Caucasus to the Afghanistan frontier.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Thermometer
twenty-one and eight-tenths now eight, and

try unite that colder March never had ex-
istence. Suffering is terrible.
Although to-day ends our Atlantic winter
according to the calendar, the intense cold
which began on the sixth Of March csniin-
ues without prospect Of immediate abate-
ment. The mercury this morning was about
zero in different parts OF New York. Such
severe and continuous cold In February and
March Ii without known precedent. Ice fills
the rivers and harbors, greatly impeding
navigation. Incoming steamers glisten In
Icy armor. The cold has made :ntolerable

Ign bridge and other exposed promenades
are almost deserted. A few shivering song
sparrows are the only harbingers Of spring.
At various places In the State last night the
mercury went below zero.
(The cold weather mentioned above ex.
tended ~ far west Is Minnesota. Mr.. Mar
chesseau, who left st. Paul ten days ago,
says the thermometer showed SIX degrees
below zero when he left there. The month
Of March In Montana has been almost a

NOTWITHSTANDING the trouble between
Russia and England was temporarily bridged
over BY some diplomatic spider web,ln which
England did net have the best Of It, condi-
lions In both countries continue decidedly
warlike. Russia Is mass;ng troops where
they will be available in case Of . rupture on
the Afghan frontier, is building ten men.of,
war Of the most formidable character, and
has ordered officers on furiough to their reg
iinents. England has withdrawn from the
marines the privilege Of purchasing dis
charges; she has fifty thousand troops in
India ready for servics and is concentrating
10000 or $4,000 Of them at points available
for operations In Herat. A noticeable index
Of the situation 10 the fact that Russian stocks
have dropped heavily in London.
