Good for Helena.

HELENA, MONT, March 9.-This town is
the centre of what promises to be a
stubborn railroad fight, and the prospect
makes every shipper happy. During the
last of January the Montana Central rail-
road was incorporated to build lines to open
up local gold, silver and coal mines. The
Northern Pacific has shown some opposi-
tion TO this enterprise and contemplates
rival lines, but has not yet commenced
active work upon them. The Montana
Central commenced active operations as
soon as it was incorporated. They sur
veyed their line during the coolest weather
and the deepest snow Of the winter, and
are now building the road. Local feeling
is strongly in favor Of this new enterprise
and will resent any opposition, as it will
bring cheap coal to Helena and Butte, the
,Ereat mining centres of the territory.

Sparks's Order Reversed.

DEVILS LAKE, OAK, March 1O.-News
was received here today, from Washington,
from private but authoritative source. to
the effect that Secretary Lamar has re-
versed the famous April 10Th order of Com
missioner Sparks, in which Sparks ruled
that homesteader could not commute his
homestead into cash entry if he had
proved up on his pre-emption. The secre-
tary's ruling sustains the final proof of
James Brittin to homestead in this land
district, Brittin having subsequently COM
muted homestead. Sparks held that
Brittin was exercising pre-emption rights
twice. The report is currently believed,
and comes in time to encourage the spring
immigration to the northwest.

The Circumstantial Chain Broken.

ST. LOUIS, March 10.-An important fact
in the evidence in the case against H. NJ.
Brooks, alias Maxwell, the alleged mur-
derer of Charles Arthur Preller, has disap-
peared. The lost link is the chamois money
belt. which Preller wore just previous to
his death, and which was afterward found
in one of Maxwelps trunks. The belt had
been cut from the body, and the shape of
the incision corresponded exactly with the
shape of a pair of surgical scissors, also
found among Maxwelps possessions. All
efforts to recover the lost article have thus
far been fruitless.

RAILROAD INDEMNITY LANDS.
The secretary of the interior has re-
jected the selection of the some 1900 acres
of land made by the st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Manitoba railway company within Da-
kota territory. The selections were be-
tween the six and ten mile limits, and were
rejected because of having previously been
selected as indemnity land by them orthern
Pacific railroad company, and the secretary
holds that the priority of the selection gave
superiority of right. Selections within the
six mile limits were rejected for the reason
that at the date of definite location of the
lands were in Indian country, and that
the Indian title thereto was not extin-
guished until long after the right Of the
company attached.

The Railroad Strikes.

ST. LOUIS, March 9.-It is said that for the
first time in the history of railroad strikes,
employees not interested in the cause, are Of
fected by the action of a portion of the en-
ployes in separate and distinct depart
ments. This morning an order was issued
by 81. NJ. Hoxie, first vice president of the
Missouri Pacific road, to the heads of all
departments of the road, to at once dispense
with the services of every employe
not positively necessary to the company
in its present crippled condition. This
means that over 100 telegraph operators,
1900 freight house hands, 500 clerks, $50
crossing watchmen, 100 to 15O firemen, and
many other employees of the Missouri Pa
cific are let out for the time being. It is
understood that engineers will receive at
least half pay and that the firemen, who
are not in the strike, will be treated like
wise. The conductors will receive pay only
when they run, and this is equal to sus-
pending nearly 400 freight conductors and
others necessary to the running of local and
through freights. All told, it is stated that
nearly 5000 persons not interested in the
PASoOAAo oeAihC WILL cuAOl 0ilC Aooo VI UhOAA
salaries until the knights return to work.
1t is stated on the authority of high Of
fetal that individual notices are being sent
by the company to all strikers that their
names are stricken from the pay rolls and
they are discharged from the service of the
company.
An article printed here this afternoon re-
ferring to the seriousness of thessituation
on the Missouri Pacific railway, discussed
the matter in the following manner: "The
railroad situation is serious, but it is likely
to grow more alarming in it's aspect and ex-
tent. There is no present hope for solu-
ton. That fact seems to be thoroughly
understood and to be entirely appreciated
by both the railroads and their employees.
The generally accepted impression is that
the present strike is to be made test case,
and that its solution can come only with
the final adjudication of the relative posi-
tions which labor and capital care to oc-
cupy in this country. The knights of la
Dor insist that the railroad managers are
responsible for the existing troubles"
