Caused by Drink.

Tn the course of long article on Rum In
the Arctics," writer in the Mat and ET-
g3ress SAYS: ''ln the winter OF lSsl-S2 the
United States steamship Rodgers made her
winter quarters in st. Lawrence Bay, htge
south of East Cape, in Siberia, and after the
v.ssel was burned the officers and men were
kindly treated by the natives Only few
wears before that time, however, small
whaler put in there, and while her decks
were filled with what appeared to be frlendiy
natives, q sudden attack was made upon tne
officers and crew, and every one was muir
dered and the vessel looted and scuttieo.
This affair undoubtedly resulted from Ine
LIQUOR left, only few days previously, on
the coast, at East Cape. Some of the natives
cot drunk, and, wanting more, they sue
cesded in enticing a number OF tine most
desperate men to Join the plot, with the ter
ribie result stated. The sequel occurred the
following year, when vessel put into cape
Prince of Wales, OH the Alaskan coast;
In the crew were number OF
Kanakas or native Honolulu sailors.
some of whom were friends and
relatives of the murdered crew. One even
ing there came on board al unusually large
number of natives, who acted so strangely
that suspicion was aroused, and the sailors
quietly and secretly armed themselves. lhelr
suspicious were confirmed, when later the
native men sent all their women ashore.
They then demanded ''rom," which being re-
fused they became very insolent and demon
stratiye. The kanakaS in the crew were
burning to avenge the death of their friends
and suddenly set upon their visitors and
killed every one, Some OF the pursued
Jumped overheard and were drowned, for
the t.rctic tribes arc not swimmers, and the
others were stabbed to death with knives or
lancss. A few of the Esqumaux crawle as
far back under the t gallant o'casl as they
could get. but were dragged out by their un-
relenting foe, who threw harpoons into them
for that purpose, and completed the work OF
death on deck. Both OF these tragedies orlgl-
mated in liquor and the craving for it that
exists in ali savages who have tasted It. Inc
men who at other times are the most kindly
in their nature seem to develop tue WorsI pas
sions under its Influences.
A Radical Remedy Required.
The total abstinence movement has mado
many sober men, and il is not proposed tc
abate any effort along that line; but. never.
theIeSs, the fact must he recognized that the
total abstinence movement does not cure the
drink evil. Some other remedy must be de-
vised to supplement- the work Of the church
and the temperance society. physician
would not follow mild method of treatment
if the disea,e grew more pronounced and
virulent all the while. He would try a
remedy that was radical and heroic. The
total abstinence movement is too mild for the
drink evil; it needs radical and heroic treat
ment.-Iioneer.

With the Usual Result-Married at Bis
marck and Back Home Again.
From the Bo7sman Courier: On Sun.
day evening Henry Border and Miss Lena
Bostwiek, OF the valley, took the east
bound Northern Pacific train from the
Bossman station, presumably for Dakota.
The coupls had been keeping company for
some time, and it appears some time ago
Mr.. Border had made somo remark about
wanting Lena for housekeeper, and Mrs.
Bostwick replied that the young lady
would be expected to attend school for
two years yet. Nothing more was thought
Of the matter by the "old folks", and it is
fair to say they were thunderstruck when
they heard their daughter had left them.
Mr.. Border is q man about thirty years
OF age, who lives on a farm few miles
northwest Of the village. Miss Bostwick
was young lady who will be sixteen next
month.
The young folks evidently inferred that
it would not be possible to obtain the con-
sent OF the parents of Miss Bostwick to
her getting married at so early an age. and
stole O march to an adjoining territory,
where licenses are not required and any
one can get married who feels SO disposed.
They were married at Bismarck Monday
evening and returned home Wednesday
morning.

Lee XIII. Wishes the Western Powers to
Buy Up Jerusalem, it is Said.
LoNoN, August 19.-Cardinal ..Lavigesa,
it is understood, will shortly appeal, in
the name of the holy father, Leo KILL, to
the nations OF Europe to purchase from
the infidel deilers the holy city OF Jerusa-
lem, and as much OF it's surroundings 80
will be necessary to form a small province,
to be forever independent and to gusEantee
it's integrity.
If successful, this victory for the cause OF
civilization, it is considered by the cardinal
and pope Leo, would be the greatest
triumph ever achieved by the Catholic
church, and would endear it to the affec-
tions of many now alienated from it's
teachings and prestige, and would do
much toward creating q general desire Tor
the restoration of it's temporal power.
PHILADELPHIA. August 19.-The ap-
pointment OF a high ecclestical tribunal by
the pope for the Roman Catholic church
in the United States is believed to have al
ready been consummated, although in.
auiry has failed to developthe existence OF
an official notification.

The Situation at the Divide District.

Says the Helena Mining Review" Work
has ceased at the mines and mill of the
Climax company. in Divide district, Silver
Bow county, bad management, it is claimed.
being the cause therefor. 1t is reported
that just prior to the shutdown the bat
terry samples averaged 234 ounces per ton,
which fact would seem to verify the gener-
ally recognized worth of the properties in
that district. Divide district is just at
present q scene of considerable activity
among prospecters, who are beginning to
realize it's merits as mineral section.
Many splendid discoveries have been made
recently, and it is to be deplored that any.
thing should have occurred to interfere and
retard the progress OF the district, such as
inevitably results to q new camp when bad
management or other causes lead to the
closing down OF it's principal and most
largely developed property.

General Bussey's Opinion Of the Relations
Between Tanner and Secretary Noble.
CHICAGO, August 49, General Cyrus Bus
sey, assistant secretary of the interior, who
is here now, in an interview on the rela-
tions of Secretary Noble and Commissioner
of Pensions Tanner, said: II can't say
that Secretary Noble and Corporal Tanner
are on friendly terms, yet the secretary has
not demanded Tanners resignation, nor
have they had any words. yet it is certain
that the methods OF the pension commits
sioner attracted the attention Of Secretary
Noble some time ago."
Continued the general: He appointed .
committee ut once to examine some OF
Tanners transactions. That committeeis
now about ready to make its report. II
certain charges against Tanner are proved,
then no doubt General Noble will demand
his dismissal. He certainly won't do any
thing until then, and perhaps after ell
every thing will be satisfactory"
"What do you think of Tanner"
"He is q hard worker and sincere, but
too impulsive."

THE CONSTITUTION MAKERS.
A Body of Men Who Have Earned the Pub
lies Good Opinion,

From the Helena "Independent:" The
Montana constitutional convention passes
into history with a reputation OF which
any body OF men might be proud. The
members have been earnest, industrious
and faithful. Their proceedings have been
marked by dignity and decorum, and their
work, as a whole. by wisdom and Justice.
We have already pointed out the defects,
as we regard them. OF the new instrument.
They are all durable and are not 50 serious
as to call for antagonism to the constitu-
tion in it's entirety.
Party lines were rarely drawn during the
proceedings. and even at such times the dis
cussiors were Dever unseemly.
It was a representative body, fairly
made up from the great body of the people,
and the members return to their places in
the ranks sure OF the approval OF their work
at the polls.
To them all. men OF all parties alike, We
say, THANK you and Godspeed" Hurrah
for the State OF Montana!
