Black Diphtheria at Granite.

Since Friday last rumors have been float
ing about town of an epidemic OF black
diphtheria at Granite. It was stated that
the people were fleeing from the plague, but
inquiry of conductors on the Montana
Union shows that none of the exodus is
heading this way. The disease is very
quick in it's effect on those infected, almost
as sudden as cholera. It arises mostly
from insanitary conditions, such as are
likely to prevail when houses are punched
together in a limited space, as at Granite.

Sir John McDonald's Annexation Scheme
QUEBEC, February 11.-1hat willy old
fox, Sir John Macdonald, has scheme to
be in at the annexation. Knowing that if
he waits for the regular election in 1892
the progress OF annexation sentiment
will overWhelm him, he has decided to ap.
peal to the country at once, knowing that
he can secure an easy victory, under cover
OF which he can retire from the govern
ment with flying colors, and with the an
nexation party bandaging very black eye.
To furnish an excuse for this, one of his
adherents will demand OF the liberal Que
bee government to know what it proposes
to do about Ben Butterworth's annexa-
tion resolution in the United States Con-
gress.

where he s'went forn the legislature, and
the feeling in the matter grows more bitter
all the time, and there is once more some
strong talk OF adjournment until q success

New Mexicans Who Want Geronimo's Il

dians to Stay Where They Are.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, February 11.-A. j.
Fountain, speaker OF the. House OF Repre-
sentatives, to-day, introduced memorial
into that body, which unanimously passed
both Houses. The memorial is addressed
to the President OF the United States and
Congress, protesting against the proposed
removal OF Geronimo, and his band of
hostile Chiricohua Apaches from their pres.
ent place of confinement in Florida, and
locate them on the Mascalero Apache
reservation in Southern New Mexico.
The memorial represents that the Masca-
lero Apaches are now peaceably disposed
and friendly to the whites, that they are
not, and never have been friendly to Geron-
limo or his band, and the location OF the
ChiriohHas upon their reservation will be
the means of causing another outbreak
(similar to the one OF 1885, which resulted
in the death of many innocent settlers and
great expenee to the territory to suppress).
For this and several other reasons, it is
asked that none of the band be located
within the territory.

WASHINGTON GUARDS INSPECTION

A Correspondent Takes Exceptions tt
Some Of the Inspectors Commands.
A member OF militia company who
appears to have been present at the in
spection of the Washington Guards on
Friday evening at Renshaw Hall takes the
inspecting officer to task for some OF mis-
commands and incidentally pays his
respects to the military critic of the Inter
Mountain as follows:
BUTTE, February 9.-[To the Editor OF
the Miner.]- II was present at the drill and
inspection OF the Washington Guards last
evening, and while the company was by
no means without shortcomings, there are
some excuses to be made for them, and 1
think the epithet ''rotten" applied to their
marching evolutions by the military critic
OF the Inter Mountain as entirely too Sc
we're. Though not q member OF the COM
pany, am aware of the fact that it is
composed OF men in business and clerks
in stores who cannot always be present
on drill nights, SO that little charity
might have been displayed in being "to
their faults a little blind" by the said
critic.

order to reverse arms" while the company
was standing in double column. Had the
boys obeyed the command there would
have been some lively sprawling on the
floor, to say nothing Of some sore knocks
received by every man standing pace in
front OF another.
The other error OF the inspecting officer |
which l noticed was in the inspection of |
arms. The Guards throwing the piece |
from .ordern to s.inspeci ionn held the gun |
in the left hand. After the inspector had |
examined the gun he returned it, telling |
them to take it with his right hand, which |
was correct according to the old, out-of-
datee Upton tactics. The Revised United |
Stat tactics require the piece to be re-
ceived from the inspecting officer with the
left hand, and then throw it back to
carry"

Great Rejoicing in the City Among the

OGDEN, Utah, February 1.-THE. most
important election that has ever taken
place in Utah, was held to-day. It was o
fight by the Gentiles or Liberal party, for
a foothold in the territory by an election
OF mayor and conncil. The new city hall
was crowded at all it's entrances, where the
election proceeded at four different ballot
boxes. The city voted as a whole, and not
by wards, and to accommodate the large
number four voting places were necessary.
BRASS BANDS AND DRUM CORPS.
Rhe Mormons or peoples party, now
have the Offices OF the city, and at day
light brass bands and drum corps were
promenading the streets, with the begin
ing OF voting. The system OF intimidation
commenced on the part of the Mormons
by arresting Gentiles before they had a
chance to vote, and hurrying them off to
Jail. This was anticipated by the opposite
party, who had Marshal Dyer present and
a squad of United States troops quartered
in the Broom hotel across the street.
The Marshal at once stopped the arrests
until the voter had chance to tender
his vote and be passed upon by the judges.
After this, the election passed off quietly.
The result can not be determined before
midnight.
