Why They Oppose the Bill.

"AJ AAOy ORPVoS SAA0 A~sAAs
Washington special: In it's minority
report the five members of the Indian
affairs committee state that they were
opposed togranting the Billings, Clark's
Fork & Cooke City road right of way
through the Crow reservation, because
it would not be just or equitable to the
Rocky Fork & Cooke City road, whose
construction was limited to two years
by the terms of the bill, to allow COM
petition with the road at thistime when
there is no business for two roads.
They claim that the road mentioned in
the bill wants the right of way for
purely speculative purposes. The min
ority claim that beside nearly construct
ing it's road the other company has
spent nearly 100000 in opening it's
mines on the Rocky Fork, and should
not be handicapped by any competition
until it has made some effort to supply
Montana with fuel, as it promises. The
minority bases its strong opposition to
the bill upon the veto message of July
:, 1887, returning the bill granting the
right of way through the great north
ern reservation of Montana to the
Manitoba road. This message defines
the policy of the executive in relation
to railroads upon Indian reservations,
and claims that the bill would not be
approved if passed. sss

Not a Success.

Washington special: Additional pro-
tests are constantly coming in from
seedsmen all over this country against
the new postal convention, negotiated
by Mr.. Villas while postmaster general,
with the Canadian government. BY the
terms Of this convention each country's
mail is to be carried through and distri-
buted in the various sections at the
rates which are the domestic rates of
each country without the payment of
anything additional to bring the rate
up. This convention affected the mat
ter Of seeds quite materially. BY the
American postal it costs IL cents per

pound to send seeds Through the mails
The Canadian rate is cents per pound
The result is the Canadian seed grow
ers can ship their seeds in here for four
cents per pound, while it costs II cents
per pound for seed growers in this
country to get their products to the
consumers within our own limit. It is
said that one enterprising firm has
found that it can ship it's seed to Can
ada, pay the tariff there, and reship
them to this country, under the Can
adian postal laws, and get them to it's
consumers at a less price than if shipped
directly to them. The opening of spring
and the consequent large sale of seed is
going to show very strongly the weak
point in this convention. The subject
was mentioned to Mr.. Villas the other
day, and he said frankly that when he
considered the convention, this point
had not been brought to his notice.

this mortgage bonds to the amount of

Pioneer Press: The Northern Pacific,
as we'll as connecting lines to the east,
are being subjected to a good deal of an
noyance on account of customs rcgula-
tions enforced against its freight at Port
Huron. The Grand Trunk is its Canadian
connection, and from Montreal large
quantities of goods arc sent via the Grand
Trunk to Chicago, thence to st. Paul, and
over the Northern Pacific to Victoria and
other British Columbia points. There is
no trouble with car loads, the cars being
sealed and passing through in bond, but
the customs officials discriminate against
small packages. While at other points of
entry few packages of dutiable goods
can be placed IN a car and the Car then
filled with free goods the whole being
sealed and forwarded under bond, yet at
Port Huron this is refused, unless each of
the packages is corded and sealed inside
the sealed car. Cording and sealing
necessitates delay and expense and tends
to influence shippers to send goods by the
Canadian Pacific. Northern Pacific Off
cials are endcavoring to have the restriction
removed. They know these packages do
not have to be corded and sealed at other
ports, as goods pass through Minnesota
transfer regularly without these measures
being carried out. AT present the rule
works against the American roads in
favor of the Canadian Pacific.

ANNEXATION or CANADA
The Disastrous Attempt to AccompllDA
It by Foroe~-A Famous Rotrest.

The present agitation concerning the
relations between Canada and the United
States recalls the time when the annexar
ton OF that country was proposed to be
brought about by force of arms. The
project was entrusted to the brave
General Montgomery, assisted by the
famous patriots, Colonels Ethan Allen
and Seth Warner. While engaged in
this invasion Ethan Allen was taken
prisoner by the British and sent to Eng
land, where he experienced very harsh
treatment.
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con-
Quoted his men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by
dangers. Once Montgomery sent them
home because their time was out, and
though they were willing to continue in
service, they were without sufficient
clothing, and none could be had in that
country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
home before he heard that Montgomery
had been killed, and the cause, as we'll as
the lives of the men, were put in great
jeopardy. He collected his men again
and at once started for Canada to assist
his his countrymen in their extremity: But
soon found necessary to take up the mas
Of retreat.
It was the dead of winte1, and only
necessity sanctioned moving the troops.
The terror of pursuit and the rigor of the
season furnished sufficient cause fol
alarm and haste. Colonel Warner re-
manned with the rear Of the army, and
aided them in many ways most eHec-
tually as he was man well posted in
caring for the sick and this knowledge
now came into excellent use.
He must keep the army in motion, not
day must be lost, and yet he was with
out any chest of medicines. But he
understood the medicinal use Of roots and
herbs, and of proper care at critical
times, and with these allies, he made an
efectual fight against disease among hrs
men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and
the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner
but few vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hum
dreds of men in this way, and he did q
noble work, but it remained for his
namesake, H. H. Warner, head of
Warmers Safe Cure establishment, to
give the same kind of remedies then used
to the people of to-day, in "Warner's
Log Cabin Remedies" These remedies
have been adopted after thorough trial
and investigation, and they are remedies
of established reputation. Being wholly
vegetable, they can be used without any
fear as to the results. t-5st- aH
Among the new remedies is Sarsa-
parilla for the blood, Hops and Buchu
for the stomach and digestion, Ccugh
and Consumption Remedy, Scalpine for
the head and hair, Rose Cream for that
terrible disease, catarrh, Log Cabin
Liver Pill, a Log Cabin Plaster and an
Extract for internal and external use.

Proceedings in Congress.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 24-The session
of the senate yesterday was notable only for
its brevity, the whole time occupied, includ-
ing secret session, being only an hour and
twenty minutes No business of much inter.
est was transacted. A joint resolution was
referred providing for medals for three
months men Of 1861. An executive session
was held, and when the doors reopened the
senate adjourned to allow members to at
tend the funeral Of Mrs. Senator Sawyer.
The house put in the day principally on
the postoffice appropriation bill. 1t appro
pirates $50, 035, $40, or an increase Of $4341, :
100 for the current fiscal year. made neces-
sary by the enlargement of the service. OF
this sum $3.50, 6O7 is appropriated for light
and fuel at third class offices; an increase Of
$3.50, 900 for clerks Ia postoffices, and an in
crease of S777, 500 for the free delivery serv-
ice. Two or three amendments were voted
down, and, after several pages of the bill had
been disposed of, the house adjourned.

Rettnr Way to Settle Ii.

After few brief but decisive rounds, ac-
cording to rules governing the "menly art"
the vanquished youth brokenly but earnestly
said: 1.-The girls yours, Charlie; wish you
luck" The combatants were members of a
Brooklyn club, and the question in dispute
will be evident from the utterances of the
man who had come out second best. In this
era Of unbridled lawlessness, when an en-
ragged bver goes cunning for successful
rival, or sends a knife into the latter's vitals
the Brooklyn method seems infinitely
more manly and proper plan for settling the
fateful question. If it savors of barbarian,
IL 10 at least free from the faint of crime, and
II the Gordian knots with which Cupid SO
often enmeshes his victims can be united
with fists used according to proper rules, the
art of the pugilist can be regarded with less
repugnance by masculine adorers in general.
