f,r action after the passage OF the Appro-
~priation billy.
Mr.. Jones, OF Arkansas, stated that Sen
ators George, Gibson, Fair and himself, a
roinority O! the committee, dessented from
the report.
Mr. Riddleberger introduced a preamble
and bill for. the reduction by IS per cent.
Of the salary OF Cabinet officers. Senators
and Members. He addressed the Sem
ute in its advocacy. He said
the discussions On $1,000 c!erkships
md such things were sufficient to JUS
tiiy the hope that the bill would become
4 law at the next session. If they were to
commence the reductions OF $1,000 clerks
and conclude with the reductions OF the
Der diem labor it seemed to him they
should go back and begin at the head. The

insert the words Sin full compensation"
was or was not in conflict with the rule. I
The Chair submitted it to the Senate and
the amendment was decided in order and |
4 was agreed to. A still longer dis |
cuss;on was on the proposition OF the
Committee on Approx r!ations to strike
out the paragraph for ofi~e work con-
nect+l with the publication Of records OF
the Rebellion, it being charged that those
records were not edited with impartiality
and were not confined to the records OF the
war period. A peculiar instance of this
dwelt upon was that OF Fitz John Porter.
Finally the paragraph was retained, but
with a proyise restricting the publication
to co.temporaneous events of the war; and
another proviso directing the Publication
Of evidence in the Porter case and the re-
port thereon by Judge Advocate General
Holt. The bill was reported back to the
Senate all the amendments on which a sep
arate vote was not demanded were agreed
to, in bulk. The reserved amendments are

Montana Wool Growers.

From the Yellowstone Journal.
The Montana Wool Growers Association
will hold it's third annual meeting at Fort
Benton on the ninth and tenth OF July.
Among several important matters to be
discussed is the question p~rop,unded by
the Secretary OF the Association: How
shall we get the true value out OF our
wool?" This it a truly laudable inquiry;
and we hope it will be pushed to a rigid ex-
animation, and, if possible a satisfactory
conclusion. Mr.. W.. l.. Peck, who is the
secretary of the Association, and likewise
editor OF the Montana Wool Grower, has
given this question careful consideration in
the June issue OF his paper. aid he is ofthe
opinion that while Montana wool is the
most profitable grade for both manufac-
turer and dealer to handle, and conse-
quently the most eagerly sought alter, the
growers are not getting relatively as much
as the growers OF inferior woods.
He is skeptical as to the assertion OF docks
averaging seven pounds, aud finds by ex-
tended inquiry that five n three quarters
ia nearer the truth. For some reason sheep
do not shear as much lin the grease by
Is per cent. in Montana as in Vermont.
In special cases it was found that 1.-The
length OF staple in Montana was as great
and in some instances greater b was in
the East; the number OF fbres on the same
she. D must have been the same in each
case-hence the only conclusion possible is
that OF secured wool Chat is OF actual
WOOL there was as muchi not more grown
here than there was in the damp and
humid atmosphere OF the East, A thor
oughbred Merino eve that will shear nine
pounds in Montana has as much wool to
the fleece as one that shears twelve pounds
ia Vermont and at the same time possesses
equal if not superior qualities OF
strength, elasticity and s~oftness OF fiore.
The same thing is true in about the same
ratio OF our grade stock, when compared
with that of the East. Now we ore not
getting the full benefit OF this difference. lor
Il we we're, our wool would be held at prices
that would make it more in demand than
other wools. 1t is very pleasant TO a Y
manufacturers and handlers so ANXIOUS 70
handle our wool, but it would be q mighty
sight more so if we could handle it IN suen
a way that the last cent there is IN u coulu

heea for years connected with the WOO,
business as manufacturer, dealer ano
grower. and who has studied the matter IN
ali it's bearings, writes that he has some
important suggestions to lay before me o

The EFFECT OF THE EXPOSURE UpoN THE
DIsREPUTABLE CLASS.

DIsREPUTABLE Class.
Yesterdays article in The MINER simply
had the effect OF causing a continuance OF
the extensive comment upon the houses OF
ill-repute and their locations in the various
sections Of the city, and on every hand
were met people who fully and unquali-
ion az given by The MINER. In the saloons
and other public houses there was a great
deal Of Joking and lively conversation in
dulged in, and much sport was the result.
About the Lizzie Block and Grand Central
there were renewed expressions of disap-
proval, and loud and deep maledictions
were pronounced upon the heads OF those
writing the articles which caused the in.
mates OF those houses so much trouble and
odium. In the former building there was no
noticeable change in the population. and
there was a reign OF quiet throughout the
place. At the Grand Central, however, two
OF the female inmates moved out and took
up their residence among their sisters in
sin in that quarter of the city where they
are tolerated and in which they can carry
on their business without interruption so
long as they may choose to behave them
selves in a style bordering on decency.
THESE REMOVALS
are but the f~orerunner OF what will come
early in next week, and undoubtedly by
this time next week developments will be
made in these columns which will cause a
still further shaking up oi the skeletons
hidden 10 the closets of several other lodg-
ing houses outside OF the limits in which
their kind is tolerated. The people natur-
ally feel q deep interest In this matter, and
they are willing to lend their assistance in
every possible to drive these har-
lots into their own quarters.
Seve1th-That the said before men,
TONED publications we're by defendant cal
Quilted to iniure plaintiffs in their said
business and character, and did so iniure
the said business and character OF plain
tiiis.
Eighth-That the said publications were
false and defamatory.
Ninth-That plaintiffs have sustained
damage by reason OF said false and de
famatory publications in the sum OF twenty
thousand dollars.
Therefore plaintiffs demand Judgment
against said defendant in the sum OF
twenty thousand dollars and costs OF suit.
