SENATE.

WASHINGTON, September 12.-George
offered an amendment to the trust bill re-
ported yesterday from the committee on
finance. The amendment consists of four
additional sections, the most important
of which being one making it the duty of
the president when satisfied the price of
any article Of merchandise is raised in
consequence of agreements or combina-
tions, to issue proclamation, suspending
temporarily the collection Of import du-
ties on such articles. He supported his
amendment in a speech Al, some length.
Hoar made some very sarcastic remarks
as to the connection of the great
democratic party with trusts. After re-
ferring to the various kinds of trusts, he
said there was another trust that he want
ed to have some information about. Al
luding to Congressman Scott, of Penn
sylvania, he said he would like to know
whether that gentleman had any relation
to any of these great trusts or to trans
portation interests, coal interests or other
interests; whether he was interested in
trusts which collected tax on the fire Of
every workman in winter and increased
the fare when he travelled in summer for
pleasure or business.
Reagan expressed his regret that a
great question could not be raised in the
senate without making partisan issue
out of it.
Payne said that the Standard Oil com
pany seemed to trouble the mind of the
senator from Massachusetts. That COM
pany was very remarkable and wonder
fulinstitut1on. 1t had accomplished with
in the last twenty years as a commercial
enterprise what no modern company had
done For himself he had never had dol
lars interest in it; had heyer rendered it
any service, and had never received any
from it. In conclusion, Payne intimated
that the senator from Massachusetts was
laboring under an excited imagination" :"
although he had experience enough to be
able to rise above the demagogue.

MARTYRDOM SOUGHT.
Another Chicago Anarchist Seeking to be
Elevated.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Charles j. Boden-
deck, who was arrested several days ago,
is still in the Central station on the charge
of having in his possession quantity OF
explosive matter, without being able to
show any cause for having it. A late edi-
tion of the Daily News says in regard to
him, that about two months ago Inspec-
tor Bonfield was informed of the queer ac-
tions Of the man, and Immediately set
about to put him under police suryeil
lance. Under an assumed name detec-
tive soon scraped an acquaintance with
Bodendieck, who took him into his conf
dence, and unfolded his plot to him. He
carefully detailed plan mapped out by
himself to avenge the deaths of Spies,
Parsons, Fischer and Engle, and thereby
elevate himself in the eyes of his friends
to the position Of a martyr to the cause of
anarchy.
HIS FIRST POINT OF ATTACK
was to be the city buildings, and without
exciting the suspicion of any one he ex-
plored every nook and corner of the city
hall where he thought his explosive would
be most deadly in it's effect. Last Tuesday
he had everything in readiness for his
plot, and set to work to obtain the chem
icals with which to manufacture the ex
plosives He laid in supply of chlorate
of potash, oil of tar, saltpetre, and several
other ingredients, the composition of
which would make an explosive more
deadly in it's effect than even dynamite or
nitro-glycerine. He also purchased hun
dred feet Of fuse and thirty Illuminating
caps. When Inspector Bonfield had been
informed of the new move of the dyna-
miter he ordered his arrest at once, be-
fore he had chance to make dangerous
move. It is not known that there was
any one else mixed up with him in this
outside of the detective, as he
was fearful of betrayal, and beyond init
mating that something would happen
soon," took no one else into his confidence.
It is reported that he has made confes-
sion.

THE RESERVATION.
What Man Hunting a Ranch Saw and
Learned in 1t.

Over a month ago Billy Allison, of this
provisions, tent and camping outfit, and
started for the reservation to see how
many new .comers we're there, what they
were doing and where located. Saturday
he returned to this city wiser If not
better man. Since leaving here Mr. Ali
son has travelled over 800 miles and took
in all that portion of the reservation lying
south Of the Fort Assinniboine and Cy-
press hills road. He informed us that
while there were great many located up
on the reservation and had taken up
claims with view to different pursuits,
the country was by no means settled up,
and that there were some of the finest
sheep and cattle ranches that he had ever
seer yet to be had.
There have been no prairie fires there
for three or four years, and hay can be
put up almost anywhere. There is no
large game away from the mountains, but
the crop of sage hens, grouse and prairie
chickens is immense. MIR. Allison states
that many settlers had squatted in Milk
river valley just below Fort Belknap,
where many of the Indians have farms,
but that they had got tired of waiting
for the removal Of the Indians and are
hustling around looking up other loca-
tions. The Indians crops, consisting of
corn, oats and blue JOINT hay, are very
fine, and the proceeds arising from the
sale Of them will enable the Indians to
clothe and feed themselves and place
them beyond want. After locating sat
isfactorY ranch for himself on the head of
Snake creek, Mr.. Allison returned to this
city very much pleased with the great res
eryation and what he saw there.

A TERRIBLE HURRICANE.
Lives Lost, Vessels Wrecked and Much

New ORLEANS, September 13-A Plea
yune special from Havana says in some 10
calities along the coast during the recent

been discovered which we're washed from

more are in the bushes.

BEAR PAW MOUNTAINS.
What an Old-time Prospector Has to Say
About Them

Mr.. A. J. Cameron, prospector from
sway back" who has packed a pick, pan
and shovel in about every mining camp
between the Pacific ocean and the Black
Hills, came into the city from the Bear
Paw mountains last evening With the
grace and readiness Of one used to the re-
portorial pump, Mr.. Cameron yielded up
his store of mining experience in that
promising mineral country at the first
move of the handle.
"It will prove great mineral country
when further developments shall be
made" said the gentleman. Il have pros
pected great deal in my life, both for
placer and quartz diggings, and I will say
that the Bear Paw mountains offer as fine
a field for an experienced prospector as [
ever saw. I shall record while here twelve
placer and two gold bearing quartz claims,
the former in Prairie gulch and the latter
at it's head. The prospects from both are
encouraging in the extreme. There will
be big rush there in the spring I am
going back in few days and will winter
there. Mind what tell you, there will
be stampede there another year"
'How far are the mines from the rail
road?" asked the reporter.
"All the way from fifteen to twenty-five
miles. There may be mines nearer to the
road and some still further from it, It's
. big country, and am speaking only of
those mines I know. That country is
tributary to Benton, and my word for it,
before the grass cures another year Bear
Paw gold dust will be found in every store.

At meeting of citizens representing

board of trade, the I. O. G. T., and the
bar association, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Almighty God in His
inscrutable wisdom, has, by the hand of
death, removed from our midst Mrs.
Mamie G.. Baker; Therefore be it
Resolued, That, while we bow in humil-
ity before our Creator and recognize in
this, as in all his works, the hand of an
allwise God who orders all things for the
good of his children, yet, he who has COM
manded us to love our neighbors will par
don us if, in this hour, we cannot forget
the many qualities Of head and heart
whereby the deceased was endeared to
the people of this community. AS bril-
liant and accomplished young maiden,
transplanted, at an early age from
Virginia to the virgin soil of our own
Montana, as devoted and exemplary
wife, as an affectionate christian mother
she has left an impression upon those
who were privileged to know her that will
live after her and stimulate others to SO
live that the world may be better for their
having lived in it.
Resolred, That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy and coincidence to the aged
parents and their family, and above all,
to the devoted husband thus bereft in
the very prime of his manhood.
