any candidate for congressional honors,
as was shown our next delegate to con-

evidence Of the enthusiasm which favored
the community. The court house which
had been tastily and exquisitely decora-

and deep interest was manifested by re-
publicans and democra alike in the dis
cussion Of the issues Of the day.
Mr.. Clark, by his clear, concise and
business like speech, won many friends;
while Major Maginnis and Col. Pember-

eloquence. The democrats are wild in
their enthusiasm and will use every eff
fort to elect Mr.. Clark and the entire

ably sure for Clark,

HELENA, Oct. 31-Carl Kleinschmidt,
Jr., who has just returned from the north
fork OF the Blackfoot, brings the story of
rich mines recently discovered in the
Blackfoot mountains of copper, gold and
silver. But with the golden news is add
ed sadder dlscoyery-the skeletons Of
two white men. For years past the Flat
head Indians have known of the exist
ence of rich mines on the north fork Of
the Blackfoot, but they guarded the Sc
cret we'll, and twas only recently that
Mcdonald, the half-breed from Flathead
lake, persuaded the Indians to guide him
to the spot. After weeks Of searching
the lost lodes were found, and a stampede
was the consequence. Over the steep
mountain sides the eager prospector
clambered; and on one Of the barest and
bleakest mountains they were Mortified
to find the skeletons of two white men.
One had bullet hole through his fore
head, and both had evidently been killed
by hostile Indians. Beside the skeletons
lay small pile Of quartz. Evidently
they were the first prospectors and pio-
neers of the Blackfoot hills, and for years
had lain on the bare hillside with the
first outcropping of what will possibly be
the fortunes of many men, laying by their
side

Several shots were fired during the fray,

the population of the territory at 100000,
an increase of $4,000 since 1880. The
manufacturing industries of the territory

jeopardy in which the lives and property
OF the Americans are now placed, that
man of war be sent there Immediately.
The department has received information
OF similar purport from the United States
Minister at Port au Prince, and in reply
instructed him to protest instantly against
the action Of the Haytian authorities, and
has informed him that man of war will
be ordered to proceed to Haytian waters

enforcing the Chinese exclusion act
proves no easy one along the Mexican
frontier. Ell Paso, Texas, and Paso Del

Rio Grande, which is practically fordable
for ten months in the year. There are
two or three hundred Cinnamon in the
two cities and heretofore they crossed
freely from one to the other. Collector
Magottin is enforcing the laws as fully as
his small force Of inspectors will permit,
but it IS an easy matter for the Chinese
to violate them. Moreover, the China
men can easily come up the Mexican Cen
trail railroad or across the country from
Guayamas, or other Pacific points, and
slip across the line into the United

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30-An attempt was
made last night to burn the Canadian Pa
ciic bridge at Headingly. The Manitoba
bridge was saturated with oil and consid-
erably damaged. The fire is supposed to
be the work Of settlers, who side with the
government in the trouble with the Ca
madam Pacific. The Manitoba Legislature
meets Thursday and the intention is to
adopt retaliatory measures against the
Canadian Pacific, which will probably in
clude the removal of exemption from
taxation, which amounts to $500000 per
anaum.
