II MONTANA.
The Contest so Close That II VIII Re-
miro OIiiCial COnnt to Nrclho.

ST. PAUL, Oct. GA Pioneer Press
special from Helena says; While the
republicans are almost ready TO conccde
the govcrnorship and the legislature to
the democrats, they will not do so until
the official count is made, for the reason
that the RESULT IS so close as to warrant
them hi claiming ut least the legislature
in several county precincts. No tally
was made of the votes except that made
by the judges of election, and those are
now valid and in the hands of the va
rious county clerks, awaiting the official
count. According to law the official
count must be made as soon as all the
returns are in. The democrats elect the
governor and probably majority of the
legislature, but by margins 20 narrow
the full count may upset either. lndi-
vidual republicans concedc the gov
crnor TO the democratic, and are
democratic, but the republican press
and state committee concedc neither.
The republicans now claim the lcgiSla-
turc by one or two, while the democrats
claim IL by from five to seven. A
curious condition Of affairs prevails
among the sporting fraternity owing to
the close election. Though Carter re-
publican, is elected to congress by Il
majority of 1000 over Maginnis, demo.
crat, the democrats will not give up any
bets on Carlcrs election until the re-
publicans give up the money on GOV
ernor. As u contest is limited ut over
the latter, the republicans who bet on
Powers wisely refuse to pay their bets
until il is decided who Is the man,
while about $4,000 remains i'm the
hands of the shareholders here and ut
Butte.
HELENA Mont, Oct.-The Independ-
ent says: Returns received to-day
give u democratic majority of seven OH
Joint ballot in the legislature, with one
in doubt which may increase the ma
iority tonine. In several counties the
vote is very close, but it is not thought
that the official canvassing will make
any material change. Carter rcpubli-
can, for congress, has u majority OF
about 1900.

pauI unrrv,s Escnpe.

The Kootenat Courier of Rathdrum,
October ., says:
On sunday night Paul Harry, the un-
convicted murderer, decided to begin the
month of October in uniettered freedom,
and all the ContrivanCcs at hand rem
dCred chat very easy matter. On Mon.
day morning the bird had flown and the
bla.ue rests wholly upon the short
sighted policy of county government
which expects 10 Keep prisoners in con-
linomcut in crib, from which escape
is as easy as from an ordinary dwelling
house. The only way in which u pris-
oncr can be securely held il by being
chained to a bull ring and guard placed
over hIm night and day, and this seemi
a stringent measure to adopt when u
prisoner has been declared open 10 bail
IN the nominal sum of 500. Sheriff
Martin was not in town when Paul made
this his second flight.
in company with the sheriff Courier
representative toCk Il survey of the di-
lapidatcd crib and was shown no less
than five holes in the floor and partition
walls that had been cut during idle mo-
ments, and which the sheriff had reason
to believe were TO have been utilized by
the prisoners that were on trial at this
term of court, and who had made all
these arrangements for escape had they
been convicted. Is it not a travosty ON
justice that such n Jail should be OK
pected to hold in safety desperate crimi-
nals2 Better have them chained to-
gethcr and guarded as convicts are
guarded when at work in the
open air. Ii this last mancuver
OF Paul Harrys and the other prisoners
is not sufficient plea for a new and mod
ern Jail we had best make no attempt vt
arresting criminals and checking crime.
In view of all these circumstances we
hardly think Judge Logan will lay u
| barrier In the way, but when he is called
upon by the spiteful and envious Cmur
| dAlencrs to grant an injunction, will
| fail to be convinced that Rnthdrum has
a good enough jail. In all probability
| Sheriff Martin will have Paul back in
| time for the next term of court but at
! am added expense to the county, and be-
| sides the jail (God save tho marl) is so
chopped up that it is worse than useless.

THROUGH THIBET.
A Plucky Americans Journey of
Exploration Through "a Very
Strange Country.
lie Accomplishes What English
and Other Explorers Had
Failed to Do.

A Washington correspondent writes;
Colonel w. W. Rocl;hill, formerly of
Philadelphia and lattcrly secretary OF
the legation ut Pokin, China, has just re.
turned to Washington from an exploring
tour of 1900 miles through the eastern
part of Thibet. Half the country trav-
erscd has never been seen before by
either an American or q European II is
the same trip which Henry NJ. Stanley
said when here he would rather make
than go back to Africa, 1t being now
terra incognito. Colonel Rockhill,
in making the tour, succeeded
where all others have failed.
A private gentleman, with no
money but his own, he has achieved,
through American courage and shrewd-
ness, what English, French, Russian and
Austrian explorers, backed by their re-
spectiyc governments, have failed TO aC-
cOmplish.
1t was just because he was brave and
clever enough to go into the unknown
ana iOrbidding country with only four
attendants, two Of whom he lost half
way IN, that he got through all right. Ho
lCll fckin in December last and entered
lhlDet IN January, emerging into China
AGAIN in June, and reaching the coast
III August, lie wore Chinese costume
~ China and on the borders, and u
lhibetan costume in Ihibot, and lived
on native food. lie speaks Chinese and
lhibetan, and so was able to make him
self understood everywhere. He has
brought back most valuable data about
the country, the people, their religion,
customs and commerce. He estimates
the population at 100000, one-third of
whom are lainas or priests, who praC-
tlcally monopoll2e education and wealth.
/ There is nominal king, besides the
grand lama, but tho country iB
governed by the Chinese minister
and residents, and pays tribute to
China. The Chinese want to keep all
the other foreigners out, 80 as to con-
tinue to monopoli2e the tea trade.
Thibet buys nearly 1900, 900 pounds OF
tea from China each year. The coun-
try Is poor, exporting only musk and
rhubarb. Gold mining Is carried ON
iecbly, being discouraged by the
lamas. The country is largely
u wilderness. England is trying TO
break in on the southern border of the
country, to introduce Indian tea, but
the Thihctans don't want Indian tea,
| although they are eager for all other
Indian exports, The people are ignor-
ant, superstitious and poor. The gem
cral customs of the country are medie-
val in character. The lamas had never
heard of the Western Theosophists, ana
admitted that their saints no longer
worked miracles.

totally blind, the result of an accident

fired Il blank cartridge full into Private

trating his eyes and destroying his sight.
The physicians have hopes that he may
at least partially recover his eycgight,

extremely doubtful. MIR. Walker is
spoken of as II thorough gentleman and

DEFIED THE CORONER.
A Jury In n Murder Case Forced to
Retire by u Constable.

a Philadelphia telegram says: The
singular spectacle of u COruncr's Jury de-
lying the coroner WIS witnessed this
morning ut the resumption of the in
quest in the leConey murder case in
Camden, y. J. The authorities at the
two former sessions of the inquest had
submitted evidence which they deemed
sufficient for the asking of Il verdict to-
day. IL appears, however. that few of
the jurors had determined among them
selves TO compel the prosecution to show
its hand, and place upon the stand two
star witnesses, Murray, the hired man
of farmer l.cConey, and Smith, his
ncighbor. Edward Burrough, foreman
of the jury, is IA life. long friend Of Chalk
ley LeConey, the uncle Of the girl, who
is accused Of completely in her
murder, and has taken no pains
% conceal his interest in the
suspected farmers welfare. When
Coroner stanton informed the Jury this
morning that there would be no further
evidence submitted and directed the
Jurors to retire and deliberate upon u
verdict, Burroughs declared that the
jury had not heard sufficient evidence to
decide. Two other Jurors also objected
TO retiring without having additional
evidence placed before them, and
Coroner Stanton ailcr eXpostulnting
with them for while, finally called
upon a constable ''to do his duty At
ter some further parlcying the jury sui
lenly retired, and at o'clock, after an
absence of about four hours, returned
with verdict and protest. Tho yer-
dict, signed by twelve jurymen, was to
the effect that Annie lie Coney came to
her death at the hands of parties un-
known to them. The protest, signed by
eight of the jury, was that certain evil
donce had been withheld from tho jury
by the coroner, and to this the jury oh
jcctcd, regarding IL rs AN illegal action
and one which intcricred with the dis
charge OF their duty.
