MILES CITY, Mont, April 23.-Two
of the county charges at the poor farm
got into an alteration on Saturday, and
the result was.of the most serious nat
ure. Thomas Lowry was the name
of one and Bob Roy the other. Lowry
is an old paralytic and Roy young
fellow about twenty. and has been
at the farm several months.
Roy, in passing Lowry, stepped on his
toes, and Lowry swOre at him and.
piched up spittoon to strike him. Roy
took the spittoon away from the old
man and struck him in the face, but it
did not appear to be of dangerous nat
ure; but the superintendent of the poor
farm made complaint against Roy, and
a trial for assault and battery resulted
in sentence of thirty days in Jail.
Lowry, however, did not appear to
recover as quick as was to be supposed
from the nature of the wound, and
the county physician examined him late
Saturday night, and gave as his opinion
that the shock aud hurt would result
in LOwry's death, which did occur
early Sunday morning. A coroner's
inquest was held. a post-mor
tenn made, and the verdict
was that Lowry came to his death from
meningitis brought about in greater
or less degree from the effect of blow
with some hard substance at the hands
of Robert Roy. Roy will be held
over to await the action of the next
grand jury. There is still another
man in the county jail under charge Of
taking the life of fellow creature.
George Luke, a soldier belonging to
one of the regiments stationed at Fort
Custer, who about a month ago had
quarreled with fellow soldier
named Newton, which resulted in
fist fight, and Newton, though
the smaller man of the two admins
tered severe thrashing to Luke. Luke
drew knife and slashed Newton across
the stomach, Newton dying shortly after
from the effects. Luke was brought
here and lodged in Jail by deputy
sheriff

PROMPT TRANSPORTATION.
A Bill to Stop Delays in Certain
Transportations.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Cullom introduced bill to-day to amend
the immediate transportation act and
the general revenue laws so as to allow
immediate transportation of imported
goods, in cases whereby reason of in
evitable accident consular invoices have
not been received with the goods or
where the value is too small to justify
the expense of such invoices. The
amendment provides that the collector
be authorized to deliver the goods on
copy or proforma invoices, provided
bond be given to produce consular in
voice, or where the importation is of
less than 800 in value, it be entitled to
immediate transportation upon invoice
without consular certificate OF bond.
1t also changes the provision in section
1896, revised statutes, that merchandise
remaining in the warehouse more than
ten days shall be deprived of the
privileges of transportation in bond by
Substituting thirty days for ten days.
The bill is in the interest of importers
at inland ports, who support it with a
petition urging that the present law dis
eliminates unjustly against them.

sational arrest was made here yesterday
that of Samuel Whitney, who for the
past two years has been one Of the most
prominent men in the city, person of
large means and one of the leading
church men in the place. About two
years ago Whitney came here a perfect
stranger, but supplied with a large

he was DESTROYS of investing. He had
remained here only a few days when he
purchased an interest in the grocery
firm of Ramsey d Co. A short time ago,
firing of the grocery business, he sold
out his interest to his partner and
bought full partnership in the real eS-

him to be regarded as one OF the best
citizens of this place, and his wealth
gave him such an influence in money
circles that he was considered one OF
the leading men in the city. He was
bachelor when he arrived, but was soon

The Condition Of These Islands
Such as to Require Aid From

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Representa-

troduced in the house the following
joint resolution:
Whereas, Certain European powers
have recently pursued in the Pacific
ocean an aggressive policy of annexa-
ton and colonization which has resulted
in the almost complete destruction OF
native independence and autonomy In
that quarter of the globe, and
Whereas, In view of the growing inn
portance of the commercial interests of
the United States in the Pacific, it is de-
sirable that there should be maintained
whatever remains of independent gov
eminent in that part of the world free
from European domination and control,
and
Whereas, In the Samoan islands. one
of the few remaining independent
groups of the Pacific ocean, recent
events have tended to impair if not alb
solutely destroy their independence and
autonomy; and
Whereas, The United States as
friendly power having commercial in
terests in said islands, and as the first
government to respect and encourage
their independence and to enter into
treaty relations with them, is interested
in maintaining their autonomy and i'll
dependence, therefore be it
Resolved, That the present condition
of affairs at Samoa requires that this
government should aid the people of
these islands in securing diplomatic ar
rangement and independent native gov
eminent. free from the claim of terri
torial jurisdiction of any European
power, and to the end that this purpose
may be speedily and effectively accom-
plished, the president of the United
States is hereby requested to continue
to interpoSe the good offices of this gov
eminent in the effort to settle and adj
just the present difficulties at Samoa
upon solid foundation for the restora-
ton of peace and good order and the es-
tablisnment of responsible native in
dependent government.
