Montana's Settlement.

A special to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press gives the following from Wash
ington, which will be Of interest to
many residents Of this Territory:
The Senate has passed a bill author-
ling the Secretary of War to settle
the accounts for arms, ammunition
and accouterments between Montana
and the United States. This bill pass
Ell the Senate two years ago. In 1867
a large. issue of arms was made to
Montana upon the recommendationof
General Sheridan, amounting to sG6,-
551 to enable the people to protect
themselves. Since that time the
amount has been reducedby credits to
its annual quota for arming and
cquipping the militia, SO that now the
amount of the Indebtedness is reduced
to S3o,251. AS the issue in 1867 was
for a special purpose and under an
e1igency, it is thought there should
he a%relief, and the bill provides forit."

A New York special says: Current
political gossip involves allsthe lead
ing candidates in the last Republican
convention, excepting perhaps Mr..
Blaine, who is mentioned incidental
II rather than as an active candidate.
1t has been given out by persons sup
posed to be Nj. Blaines friends, that
his desire is not for a nomination, but
rather for a high cabinet position such
as he occupied under Garfield. This
is looked upon as leaving a somewhat
more open field for Sherman than he
has yet enjoyed, and his friends, while
reluctant to talk about him as a can
didate, evidently believe that the par
ty a accomplish more with him than
with almost anyone else. Just what
New York Is to do in the contest is as
yet unknown, but everybody believes
the fight has got to be made here, and
the understanding is that inasmuch
as a rough-hewn sort Of a man like
Garfield won the hearts Of the people
enough to carry the state in 1880, per-
haps Sherman could do it in 1888.

A Checsered Life.

Last evening there quietly passed

spirit Of one of those persons frequent

about them the very impersonation of
the ups and downs of mans life in a
most thorough and complete form.

Silver Bow county loses its virtual
father. MIR. McMahon came to Mon
tana in 1861 Or 1862, and in that time
he has been possessed OF three Or four
fortunes, but as is usual with those
generous, iInpulsive people, died al
most penniless, but not friendless, for
few men in this vicinity had a larger
circle Of well-wishers. He went to
Virginia City, or Alder Gulch in its
PALMER placer days, and rolled in
wealth, but firing Of that section he
was next attracted by the placers Of
what is now Butte. It was he, who

creek, ere the debris had discolored
the silvery sheet, who gave this coun-
ty the suggestive name of Silver Bow
by which it will be handed down to
history as u of the greatest mining
camps Of the world. Of money he
knew not the value. and the cognomen
of Seven up Pete" was gained by his
love for the game of "Old Sledge,"
while his means were scattered to any
and all who sought his charity. His
funeral was largely attended, and it
was with true sympathy and friend
ship that there we're many mourners
to tenderly lay him to rest.-Free

That they were killed and thrown in
