CORRIDOR CHAT.

Senator W. D. Washburn was at the
Ryan yesterday for few hours. The
senator is looking quite himself again.
and says he is feeling much better.
Talking about appointments he laughed
significantly when the kick of the
young Republicans of Ramsey was re-
ferred to. ut is scarcely time to be-
gin kicking" said he, las so few ap-
pointments of any Importance have yet
been made. As for the United States
district attorneyship there is plenty of
time. [ expect Senator Davis back in
day or two, and nothing will be done
till he and | have chance to talk it
over. There is no particular. hurry so
far as can see. The present incum-
bent's term is not yet up, and he can
stay till Senator Davis and | arrange
the matter between ourselves"

Messrs. Jiro Kono and Tatsusaburo
Mine, of Toxic, Japan. two intelligent
looking japanese gentlemen, wearing
American garments, were taking in the
city yesterday. They left Toxic by
boat for Vancouver, B. c., and were
sixteen days at sea, being caught by a
terrific storm. They came through over
the Canadian Pacific to the boundary
line, where they had some difficulty
with the United States customs ahthor-
tiles, who thought they were Chinese.
The officials we're scarcely satisfied
when their papers were produced, as
they did not know whether Toxic was
III Japan or China. At last they were
allowed to pass, and came through on
the Manitoba.
bu
casually on the train, they strolled
around the city, lost in admiration at
everything they saw. In conversation,
Mr.. TatSusaburo Mine said: 1--WE are
members Of the Japanese Gospel Union,
an association of Methodists, which
sends US over to study for the ministry.
We both are on our way to attend High
school at Chicago. After we complete
our course there we shall go through
the Methodist Theological school, and
return to our native land as Methodist
ministers. We both commenced to
learn English one year ago." This
showed that they had devoted much
study to the language. as they spoke it
much better than the majority of for
eigners who have lived in this country
for years. Their handwriting is also
very good, and they are very intelligent
fellows. They left on the Kansas City,
for Chicago, last evening.
Ex-Gov. Hauser. of Montana, was in
the city for few hours YESTERDAY, on
his return trip to Helena from the East.
He talked freely about the political
complexion of Montana. "This talk"
said he, "of Montana being sure Re-
publican state is very visionary. Mon
tana up to last fall was always Demo-

so. Russell Harrison will help the
Democratic party, as the Montana Re-
publicans do not regard him as one of
| themselves, and his dictatOrial attempts
have caused good deal of trouble.
Yes, you can put Montana down as a
doubtful state, if you like, but the odds
are heavy against its going Repub-
| lican."
The ex-governor then began to talk
railroads. He is interested in some new
schemes, and what he suggested may be
taken as fair indication of the situa-
ton. THE Manitoba" said he, sis
| contemplating several important extern
a branch to Butte City from Three
Forks, and we may expect to see new
| line from Helena north to Fort Benton.
The immigration is we'll sustained, and
MOntana'S future prosperity is as
Sured." Then Gov. Hauser paid his
| bill and went down to the Northern Pa
citic train, where he met eX-Gov. Ord
way, of Dakota, and the two chatted
pleasantly as the train pulled out.

mind definitely" said Mr.. Jewell, ''but
he would like to go to the United States
senate. He has rather rough road to
travel before he gets there. Although
he did noble work for the territory
during his sojourn in Washington, his
| non-reSidence in the territory will work
strongly against him. The people are
naturally ungrateful, and it will be
hard to make them realize that he is a
Dakota citizen after having spent SO
many years away. Still, he would
make good senator. as there are few
men in the whole country who are as
well acquainted all around as he is"
Col. D. H. Mcmillan, of Winnipeg
was talking yesterday about the North
ern Pacific railroads operations in his
native province of Manitoba. 1.-The
Northern Pacific" said he, 'shas now
control of the entire system of roads
which the Greenway government
fought so hard against the Canadian
Pacific railroad to establish. The rail
| road company receives S1,500 mile
from the Manitoba government in cash
For the 100 miles of road known as the
Red River Valley road and the Portage
branch it will receive s1.600 a mile
bringing the total bonus up to $1,000
coo. The competition which thus will
bring to bear on the Canadian Pacific
railroad will be most beneficial to the
province. 1t will also be a splendid
feeder for the Northern Pacific, as
Manitoba is very rich in an agricultural
way. These roads will not be com
pleted for at least year and half
probably longer"
The change of time on the MOI therr
Pacific railway resulted in large mum.
