land"
At an early age young Davitt pronounc-
ed himself an ardent Irish Nationalist. He
took an active part in the work OF the Fe-
mans, and vas y prominent actor in the
unsuccessful attempt to siese Chester Castle.
In May, 1870, he was arrested, and on the
evidence Of an infamous iniDrmer named
Corydon. sentenced to fifteen years penal
rervitude, for alleged ~disloyalty to the
British government. With other Irish pc.
litical prisoners, he was subjected to ter
rible punishment and humiliation. After
nearly eight years OF terrible punishment
he wah released, and on his return to Ire
land was enthusiastically received. Then
Davitt came to America and visited his
old mother, living in Pennsylvania, near
Philadelphia. Returning to his
native land, fired with new vigor by his
kindly greetings from Irish-Americans. he
devoted his entire energy to the redemption
OF the. Greer, Isle from the despolations OF
English landlords. He was the father, and
still is, OF the Irish Land League. Or late
years, our distinguished guest, in company
with Parnell, the great Irish leader, and
the score OF other brave and talented sons
OF Erin, has %gloriously fought, in and out
Of Parliament, for the restoration of Ire
lands right to free government, and of an
Irishman's right to own and till fair Erin's

Surveying Party.

Yesterday there arrived in this city
Charles A. Griffith, ". W. Mark, H. Paine
and s. T. Shaw, a party Of civil engineers,
who come to locate tue line of the Mon
tana Central Railway into Butte. They
will endeavor to locate the line up Yankee
Doodle Gulch and over the range towards
Rimini. Thepartywillg go out in themountains
again this morning. From all appearances
Butte will have the Montana Central cars
running into this city inside OF one year,
and also the Wickes Branch of the North
ern Pacific Butte seems to be the objective
point of all the railroads hat enter Mon
tana.
This Territory will have more miles of
railroad built during the coming year than
any previous year. The building OF the
Montana Central from Fort Buiord, the
Wickes branch to Butte. the Red Mountain
road, and with the Union Pacific building
a line to the head of the Yellowstone and
iuto the Bitter Root country. Montana
can well look forward to a bright future.

A REPUBLICAN MEETING,

The Republican grand rally which had
been advertised to take place at South
Butte was a dismal failure on Monday
night. A few OF the faithful had gathered
in front of the X. of L. Hall at that place,
and Mr.. j. Z. Richards had kindly donated
coal oil barrels to have a bonfire
lit In front of the Hall. What was their
surprise when they found it occupied by
the Brotherhood of Firenen. who were
holding a regular business meeting Of their
order. The announcement WAS then made
to 60 to Charles new store and hold their
meeting there. Disappointment again
awaited them; D. J. Charles was having a
grand opening, and over fifty Democrats
were just enjoying themselves with tripping
the light fantastic toe. An invitation was
to participate in the dance which was
kindly accepted, when the grand Republi-
rally was ost sight OF.

been made ia the department Of the Secre-

following:
Secretary Bayard has made LA changes
in the diplomatic service in eighteen
months-the whole number OF Offices
being 237. Mr.. Blaine, while Secretary oil
State, made ffty-ive changes in four
months-the whole number being then
about 300. In Mr.. Blaine's case one Re-

notwithstanding the hope of Mr.. Barry
that . speedy adjustment will be effected of
tho differences between the Chicago pork
packers and their employees, the situation
wears a rather serious aspect. The packers
have nearly 500 ~well-armed men CHARTERED
on the ground, ready at a moments notice
to use their weapons, while the employees
declare "they have counted the cost and
the shedding Of a little blood will not stop
or influence them in the least" One i'm
prudent step upon either side would pre-
cipitate a collision that would doubtless
be attended by great loss of lie. 1t is
hoped that wise counsels will prevail and
that a peaceful solution of the present
difficulties will soon be reached.

CAUGHT AND Gagged.
A Utah & Northern Employe Detected

An important arrest was made on Satur
day night last, which will in all probability
result in further arrests of prominent resi-
dents of Silver Bow County at an early
date. The facts were known to the edito,

the interest of justice, silence was main.

have been opened repeatedly and robbed

innocence. but the fact that over $500

that the man is guilty..
Dean has an exceedingly bad record. He
recently expelled from that most
