Mountain Mining Company, OF which con-
sdera BILE stock is held in Butte: ''The
projectors OF this company gathered in
Helena during the past week and held
council to rectiy the injury done to the
compunys 3 interest 10y imjudcious sales OF
stock. The price OF the treasury stock
orisir ally set aside for the development OF
the property was fixed at 81 per share.
Several considerable blocks OF the ordinary
stock got into various outside hands
through legitimate channels, but under the
implied understanding that it was not to
be thrown upon the market. Nevertheless
quantities OF it were offered or sold at
prices considerably below the price fixed
upon the treasury stock. Az q conse-
ouence the latter dropped i'll value and was
unstable at the fixed price, the treasury
was depleted, and hence the meeting held
here this week. The result OF the council
was the return to the secretary OF the COM
pany OF all the ordinary stock, and none
OF it will be issued until the treasury stock
is exhausted The projectors OF the West
Granite are quite confident that when next
the ordinary stock comes upon the market

LONDON, April 11.-Lord Wolesly, in a
speech last night, said the English Empire
had been built and preserved through the
vaIor and endurance OF it's soldiers and
sailors. Directed by able statesmen hith-
erto, had been their lot to defend the coun-
try against foreign foes, but now they we're
called upon by the people of England to
do duty by trampling under foot ene-
mics more serious because the enemies
were within the civil boundaries. He
called upon the English Nation to say
''stand off" to anyone whoever he might be
who should dare to try to break or dis
member the Empire, thereby ruthlessly de-
stroyi,g it. The speech received deafening
cheers.

without offering any violence. The strikers

What the Two Houses OF Congress Expect
to Do This Week.

WAsAlNGroN, April 1.-THE special order
OF the Senate for 2 o'clock tomorrow is
the resolution relative to the appoint
ment OF the Fishery Commission, and
Senator Frye will try to secure for it in ad-
dition that portion of the morning hour
devoted by the rules to unobjected cases.
senator Dawes intends to call up for
action the Indian appropriation bill. A

ask the Senate to proceed to the considera-
ton OF the Interstate commerce bill, while

District of Columbia matters, the House
will find itself plunged into contention over
Cne OT0er OI DuslIlere. 4ho inooA A.0o"oe

time remains after action on the reports in
that case the Interstate Commerce bill
will again be called up, but will encounter
the opposition OF the River and Harbor
Committee, which intends to raise the q''es-
ton of consideration with it's appropria-
ton bill.
Mr. Holmans Indian Commissioner
bill comes over from last week as unfinished
business, in the morning hour and after the
usual one hour debate will take it's place
on the already corpulent calendar OF ac-
cumulated business.
The Tariff bill will be reported tomorrow
and the House will be asked to fix days for
it's consideration.

HELENA, Montana, April 11.-Willis
Rhodes, colored, who was indicted by the
Grand jury OF Meagher County for the
murder OF William Lindsay, at Yogo, in
December last, was placed on trial at White
Sulphur Springs yesterday. The jury
found verdict OF murder in the second
degree. Judge Wade sentenced him to ten
years hard labor. Rhodes a muscular,
brawny man was generally regarded
as a desperate character in .he commu-
nifty. The quarrel and subsequent murder
arose from remark made by Lindsay that
colored man had no business to be living
with a white woman. Lindsay, while in
his own cabin intoxicated, threatened to
shoot the darkie and fired one shot over
his head to scare him. Rhodes ran to a
colored friends cabin, armed himself with a
Winchester, returned, knelt down behind a
wOOdpile, took deliberate aim and fired
twice, the second ball striking Lindsay in
the hde, passing completely through the
body. He fell in the open doorway and
died instantly.

Republican Convention.

Says the Spokane Falls ReUiec: The
Republican Territorial Central Commit
tee will meet at Vancouver on the 18th
of June for the purpose of choosing a
place and date of holding the next Ter
ritorial convention and for the purpose
of transacting such business as may
come before the meeting. The inelina-
ton seems to be to hold a convention
early this year, although theIe can be no
especial object in making a protracted
campaign. At present it is impossible
to predict the policy that will be carried
out this year. The republican party
WAS weakened two years ago by internal
dissension and defeated by falsehood
and local prejudice. We, for one, are
prepared to lay aside all bitterness that
grew out of the unfortunate campaign
and join hands with all men who have
the success OF the republican party of
heart and do our utmost to secure the
nomination of good man and elect him
afterwards. There is no question but
that the Territory IS thoroughly Repub-
iican, and no one can afford to ieopar-
diZe party victory through personal
spite. Let there be unanimity of action
this year.
