HELENA, Mont, May 11.-A special
to the Independent says: Parties just
arrived from the reservation re-
port considerable dissatisfaction exist
ing among the crowd Of settlers who
have been removed from the Big
Sandy by the military authorities. II
seems the act throwing open the
reservation to settlement gave to the
President the right of reserving ssuch
lands for the use of military posts as
might be deemed necessary, and as
he has not yet taken any action in
the matter, the commanding officer
at Fort Assinaboine is endeavoring to
maintain the old boundaries of the
military reserve, pending a decision
from the higher authorities as to what
will be necessary to supply the wants
of that post. The present boundaries
include an area of some eight hundred
square miles.

DUBLIN. May IL. - Archbishop
Walsh, in a letter to the Freeman's
Journal in reference to the Papal Re-
script condemning the plan of cam
paign and boycotiing, says: "The re-
script decides the question of morals,
not of politics. If doubts and contro-
versies arise concerning its meaning,
the Irish bishops or the Vatican will
explain it. The Irish people may be
assured that neither the National
movement nor National League shall
be in the least injuriously affected. /"
The Archbishop strongly denies the
truth of the statement about his own
actions in respect to the transcript.
He says the reports of his conferences
at Rome with the Pope were all in
ventions.

lAsSociated Press Dispatches to tho HEEALI !
SAN Francisco, May 11.-A. j..
Bryant, ex-Mayor Of this city, was
attacked with vertigo on the Narrow
Gauge ferry boat this morning, fell
into the bay, and was drowned. he
body was recovered and removed to
the morgue.
Considerable doubt is expressed as
to whether Brysnt's death was an
accident or suicide, and the latter
theory seems to be more generally
accepted. He left here for Alameda
on the steamer Encinal at 9 :15 this
morning, and was noticed to be very
nervous and excited when He pur-
chased ticke5.
Some Of his intimate friends cay he
has acted queerly recently, and fears
have been expressed that he was get
ting softening of the brain. No ono
appears to have seen him fall from
the boat, but the body was picked up
after it had sunk twice by a boat
lowered from passing steamer. Life
was not extinct, but. the men in the
boat did nothing for him, and they
also insist he was still alive when
placed on the wharf few minutes
later. The body was afterwards re-
moved to the morgue. Coroner STAN
ton stated an autopsy would have to
be held to determine whether or not
Bry ant had fit.
Theories Of suicide and accident
were pro ounded as soon as Mr..
Bryant's death was known, but the
former was secuted at the Office OF the
Slate Investment Insurance Company,
OF which he was President. His pri-
vate affairs, as far as known, we're not
such as to make the man desperate,
but his health. had been poor for six
months or more, as he was suffering
from Bright's disease OF the kidneys.
Some say he had heart disease. He
had wasted away greatly, and was
subject to fainting spells. 1t is thought
probable that when Mr.. Bryant went
to the ticket office one of these
spells was coming on, and that he
tainted while leaning on the rail Of
the boat few minutes later, and in
falling slipped into the water. When
he made his appearance at the ticket
Office of the narrow gauge ferry few
minutes before 8 :15. he was very ner-
vous. His hands trembled violently,
and he seemed to have difficulty in
seeing clearly. 1t was also evident
he was mentally perturbed. He
walked slowly aboard the Encinal.
She had scarcely cleared the
slips before loud splash was
heard, and it was seen he
had fallen overheard. The tide was
flowing strongly and carried him
rapidly southwark, until he was
picked up by boat.
Mr.. Bryant was born in New
Hampshire and was 56 years OF age.
He leaves widow and two daughters;
one residing here and the other in
New Ham pshire. He came to Cali
fornia in the very early days and en-
gagged in mining. Since then he had
been prominent in business and polt-
ical circles aud served as Mayor Of
this city two terms. between the years
1875 and 1879. His wealth is esti-
mated at between a quarter and half
q million.

LORD cARNARvoN's IDEAS.
Lord Carnarvon, in reply to Par
nell, explains the points OF his idea of
the proper basis for Irish self-govern-
ment as follows; First-Supremacy
OF the Grown and Imperial Parliament
in ultimate resort. Second-Control
o. the police and appointment of the
judiciary by the Crown. Third-Lim-
itation of local taxation to such
amount as to prevent injustice. Fourth
The reasonable satisfying OF the
people OF Ulster. Fifth-The whole
to be preceded by some land settle
meat.
To these, Carnarvon says, must be
added the separation oil the legislative
and executive functions. He details
very fully the difficulty Of such a
scheme, but, right or wrong, he says
the scheme is utterly impossible now,
Gladstone having destroyed all chance
Of a reasonable settlement on such a
basis.
Lord Carnarvon then deals with
the crown colony idea in the same de-
tail, and gives his opinion that,
though the plan is difficult one, it is
not impossible He says his ideas are
solely his own, and his late colleague
is in NO way responsible for them.
