A writer in the Philadelphia Railroad
Record says: "Montana is the richest ter
ritory in the Union in natural resources.
particularly in gold, silver and copper,
and we might add lead, coal and iron,
which furnish the basis Of SO much wealth,
and which go so far toward making a
country great and prosperous. Montana
does not need the machinery of exagger-
alton employed by the modern boomer to
call attention to her advantages. The
beautiful scenery, healthful climate, in
exhaustable mines of gold and silver,
forests Of timber and fertile valleys need
only to be known and understood to draw
within her borders people seeking en-
ployment and homes, business men, man
ufacturers, and capitalists desiring to
make investments"

SHERIDAN STILL LIVES.

dftiOn Today.

BUTTE, May 29.-The bulletin an
nouncing Sheridan's death was bogus
one sent through by the Western Union
Telegraph company to the Pacific coast
WASHINGTON, May 29-2:2O a. m.-Gen-
eral Sheridan is sleeping quietly. There
has been no change in his condition with
in the last two hours. Every one in the
house has retired except DR.. O'Reilly and
two watchers. Yesterday morning the
general was slightly better. During the
night previous he seemed to grow weaker
and weaker. The chances of his recov
cry were deemed less and less as the
hours dragged slowly along. Indeed he
was SO low in the early hours of the
morning that the attendants almost aban-
doned hope.

Blaine's Papers Rified.

AUGUSTA, May 29.-One Of Blaine's
prominent friends states Blaine's house
was broken into some time ago, during
the family's absence, and all of his politi-
cal and business correspondence and pri-
vate papers, which were in his library
we're overhauled, carefully examined and
a portion of them distracted. The matter
has been kept secret in the hope that the
thief would be discovered but he never
has been. The supposition is that the
robbery was perpetrated in the expecta-
ton Of obtaining something among
Blaine's private papers which might be
used to his political injury if ever wanted.
The character of the papers stolen is un-
known

ABD1NGDoN, May 2S.-The engineers

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. s-There can be
no possible doubt that Wisconsin has gone
Republican by from 10000 TO ~, 900 major
ity. The returns are coming in slowly, and
only thirty-four of the sixty seven counties
in the state have sent in their figures These
show large gains for the Republicans, and it
is estimated that it viii result in gain
of IS per cent over the vote Of 1884
A curious feature is the fact that the Re-
publicans have made their largest gains in
Democratic counties, and this is particularly
noteworthy ia Dane and Ashland counties,
where the Republicans have majorities Of
over LOU. The congressional contests have
resulted in the Democrats gaining con-
gresham In the Second district, which is of
set by the Republicans getting back their
congressman In the Fourth district.
Both branches Of the legislature will be
strongly Republican. Gabe BoVck, one Of
the best known men In the state, an ex-con-
gresham and war horse OF the Democracy,
is defeated In the Third assembly district by
Schmidt, Republican. Sch.nidt's majority
is only 81, but Boucks defeat was not an-
ticipated by the Republicans

In the table of votes for governor, Mr..
Miller's vote falls below that OF Mr. Harri-

afternoon In reply to the question as tc
what cause he attributed the loss of New

II answer frankly that do not know.

for the supremacy of certain well defined
principles. Que party has won and the
other has lost; that is all there is to it,"
"Do you think, Mr.. President" asked the
correspondent, ''that Governor Hill acted in
good faith toward yous'
~ have not the slightest doubt of Gov

canvass Nothing Ihas ever occurred to in

how Mrs. Cleveland bears your defeat"

know the defeat brings its compensations.

Mr.. Whitney added that while the man

the workingmen of New York had not had
