Montana Mineral L.anda.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 6.-The bitter
aght between the Billings, Clarke's Fork
& Cooke City and the Rocky Forks &
Cooke City to gain controlo of the trade of
the rich coal fields of the section imme-
diately south of Billings, on the line of
the Northern Pacific, is likely to be re-
newed. The Billings 81 Rocky Forks Sc
cured the first right of way and fran
chise several years ago, and has done
some building, but embarrassments com-
PEELED them to suspend. Congress
granted the Clarke's Fork a right of way
almost parallel. The company sent out
a party of surveyors. This has aroused
the Rocky Forks people, and the direct
ors are called to meet at Laurel, the
starting point Of the road, on Aug. 8.
The coal and mineral mines in the Cooke
City country are conceded by reliable ex-
perts TO be entitled to rank with the
richest and most promising in the coun-
try, and there will be a desperate strug-
gle to reach the coveted fields first.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. Gone Of the
most peculiar situations that the history
of divorce suits in Hennepin county has
ever presented was that in which George
g. Olmsted found himself. Last May
Julia X. Olmsted was granted g divorce
from George Olmsted on the charge of
adultery. At that time mention of the
suit was suppressed in the papers. Atthe
time the divorce was grated Mrs. Olmsted
was living at Aberdeen, OAK, and did
not appear in court. The 1st of June
George Olmsted went to Elgin, Ills, and
married g pretty and wealthy woman.
Mr. Olnisted was summoned into court
to show cause why the divorce should
not be annulled, his former wife claim
ing that the divorced had been secured
through ssfrand of her marital rights,
and without her consent. Mrs. Olmsted
wrote to an attorney here to secure a
divorce. Shortly before the divorce was
granted Mr.. Olmsted went to
Aberdeen, and there he met his
first wife and they arranged the
amount of the alimony. 1t is said that at
that time he gave her fully two-thirds of
the property. After the settlement as
to allimony was secured Mrs. Olmsted
attorney in Minneapolis. IN her affidavit
the Mrs. Olmstead that was says that
her husband at the time they met at
Aberdeen talked Ito her until she was
liberated in mind" and in q fit OF
spontaneous insanity" signed the COM
plant IN which the divorce was granted.

TILE LATrER's ALLUsroN In TEE
SENATE DRAWS a REPLY.
Mr.. cox GROWS SARCASTIC.
"a Man who Could Not Keep the Rules
of the County Jail Would Natur-
ally Find Senate Etiquette
a TriGo Irksome."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Senator Rid
dleberger's remarks about Mr.. Cox of
New York in his speech in the senate,
have very much incensed the Tammany
statesman, and he retort5 in a somewhat
tart interview. The offense was in SEN
ator Riddleberger's reference to Mr.. Cox
and his book, 1.-THE Buckeye Abroad"
in the senator's speech against the fish
cries treaty. Mr.. Riddleberger quoted
from the recent tariff speech of Mr.. Cox,
and said he was not surprised that the
representative from New York professed
a sentiment which branded protection
lists as robbers, and rascals and plumber
ers. This same gentleman not many
years ago had written a book, in which
was found the following language: sold
England, God bless her, with tears in
my eyes l beseech heavens best benson
upo her. / remember her only as the
and of noble deeds II generous hearts.
l hope the pops will create no cardinals
for America. The illsuccess attending
the Wiseman experiment. in England
will prevent the pope from creating any
cardinals in Protestant countries"
Mr.. o feels offended at the slightly
unpleasant reference, and he returns the
compliment as follows:
EefuapS IiuulepeFSeT uoes no1 RuoW
that, as a member of the senate, he can
not, without breaking a parliamentary
law, refer in his speeches to a member
of the house. Perhaps he knows all
about this rule, and don't care anything
about it. In any event, | am not sur
prised at the senator from Virginia. A
man who could not keep the rules of the
county jail, where he was confined,
would naturally find the etiquette of the
senate d trif1e irksome."

Hot Weather in washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The long de-
ferred hot wave struck Washington Sat-
urday and for a while made it one of the
hottest citieg in the country. 1t required
no delicately constructed thermometer
to show that the mercury had risen. The
air was sup~ersaturated with moisture
that was felt most perceptibly by every
body, and the congressman, from the
cooler climates had a hard time of it.
The hottest of the day was between 2 and
3 O'Clock in the afternoon. AT that time
the mercury registered SO deg, 10 deg.
hotter than the maximum temperature
OF the preceding day. Sunday was quite
as oppressive as Saturday. Many con
gressmen left the city Saturday night to
spend Sunday at their various river and
mountain resorts.

Consul Jonas Ideas oa the Proper Meth
DDS of Receiving Immigrants.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Charles Jonas,
United States consul at Prague, Bohe-
mia, is in the city on leave of absence.
Mr.. Jonas has been asked to appear be-
before the immigration investigation
committee in New York, and will do SO.
There u.s., he says, "no wholesale inn
migration of criminals to this country
from Bohemia or Roumanfa, or, in fact,
from any of the Austrian countries.
The immigrants from there are really a
valuable class Of citizens in the main,
and the number of them is small, with q
population of some 5000. 600; the i'm
migration is put at about 1000 or q, 00G a
year. Most of them, too, are farmers,
and have some means when they arrive
here. There are a few undesirable emf
grants among them, Of course, but they
are a very small proportion. Consul
Jonas thinks a law should be passed
under which United States consuls would
examine emigrants and give desirable
ones certificates of admission of this
country. Not certificates such as would
be distasteful or look like oppression,
but credentials that an honest man would
be proud to carry. This; he thinks, is
the only way to regulate emigration.

Death of 4 murderer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-A man about
81 years of g was picked up on the
street here early Sunday morning by the
police and was taken to the hospital,
where he died soon after. Death was
caused by the severe heat. 1t appears
that he was for years connected with the
United States army, and that he was dis
charged last January under the name of
Frederick McCulloch. 1t also appears
that his real name was Phillip Irwin
Thurber, and that he was of a prominent
Detroit family. He joined the army be-
cause of his having killed a man in ST.
Louis. A remarkably peculiar idea of
deceased was that he would not write
letters. If letters were handed to him
he would tear them up without perusal.

Fielden and Schwab, to take them back

preme court. The prison telephone was
kept hot in answering the questions of
people down town who were anxious
to know il it was true that the an
archists had been released. Two men
came from Chicago on a late train
and gave it out that they were deputy
sheriffs with writs for the release of the
anarchists, but as they did not put in an
appearance at the prison, it was con-
Guided that they were a couple Of prac-
ticai jokers. Fielder, Schwab, and Nebee,
are sSill in prison and have no hope
of such good luck as getting out soon on
a writ of habeas corpus, or through eff
forts for q new trial-in fact, they have
no other hope than that of executive
clemency after they have served a term
of ten years.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elm an article
on the subject of deserted infants, the
Capital says the police record shows that
during the year ended June 80, 1888,
ninety-six dead infants were picked up
within the boundary of the city. Sixteen
of these were white. There were 81 in
the first quarter of the year, 81 in the
second, II in the third, and 81 in the
last. Tbsse figures do not by any means
measure the number of infants MUIR
dered in Washington in twelve months.
The police say that many are doubtless
buried at night, and perhaps the sewers
sweep away to the river more than all
that are reported. No effort seems %
be made to Investigate these murders.
