resources of Montana, and who eX-
presses himself highly pleased with al
he has seen. On proceeding to the court
house to head a session Of the com
mittee. the senators received a formal
invitation from the constitutional
convention to address that body.
The invitation being accepted,
Senators Stewart. Plumb and Reagan
spoke. All naturally referred to the
interest attaching to the work before
the conventiOn-the preparation OF the

cred to the senators. Maj. Powell,
director of the geological survey, also,
by invitation of the convention,
made a brief address, contning
himself strictly to the irriga-
tion problem, but arouSing the
applause of the audience by
the interest with which he invested the
subject. The committee then held a
session for the taking of testimony bear
ing on the subject of their mission.
The large number of persons in attend
ance attested the interest taken in it by
the people. A number of prominent
gentlemen were examined and their eV-
idence showed that they had for long
time been giving thought to the subject
of irrigation. All agreed that the inter-
estS of Montana would be benefited al
most beyond computation by proper
utilization of the water lying in its
lakes and rushing through its rivers.

dishonored son to the undertaker's,

settlement has caused large numbers OF
people from Wisconsin, Dakota, and the
adjoining Minnesota counties to squat
upon valuable land on the reservation

the squatters and have been drinking
heavily for several days. Last night
they held war dance and threatened
to make night raid upon the camps
unless the whites left the reservation.
Thief River Falls is seven miles from

have become so alarmed at the outlook
that they have asked that company OF
troops be sent here to guard the town
and remove the too previous" settlers.
The reservation cannot be legally en-
tered for homestead or pre-emption in

NEWPORT, r. l.. Aug. 9.-The Goelet
cup race to-day was sailed under favor

ing was fresh from the southwest. Over
$50 yachts were in the harbor. The
Electra steamed down through East

smooth and the wind constantly fresh

a mark boat about two and a half miles
west southwest from West island light,
and finish over line drawn as for the
start; the mark boats to be left on the
port hand. The starting gun was fired
at II a. H., and in less than eight min
utes after all the competing yachts had
crossed the line. The Electra waited
for the Gorilla and Marequeta, which
had race to the first mark boat and
return, the Gorilla winning by twenty
minutes. The DauntlesS carried away
her jib stay and returned. The Katrina
led the sloopS and the Alert had the
Windward position over the schooners,
though the Grayling led the other
schoOners, and was apparently ahead of
the Alert as the Electra passed Point

rounding, and Titania. in following
her example, carried away a fly spin
maker boom, losing the advantage just
gained. Katrina set hers all right and
gained rapidly. Capt. Haff, however,
had his boom spliced quickly and event
ually won the race for his boat. The
order of the leading boats around the
second mark was Sea Fox, COnstella-
tion, Katrina and Grayling. A heavier
sea and wind prevailed from here to the
end of the race. Katrina and Constella-
ton were both badly handled coming

takes beat the Katrina. The winners
are the Sea Fox and Titania. The

leading and rushed Clark against the ropes,
failing, however, to intlict any punishment.
Clark landed good left-hander on Griffin's
neck, and the men were in clinch when
time was called.
Round Two-Griffin got couple of swing
ing upper cuts as he came up. Clark. how
ever, was countered, and striking his man
fairly on the jaw with his left, knocked him
squarely down. II looked as if the fight were
finished and Clark the victor. Griffin was
very groggy. and kept clinching to avoid
punishment. Call of time saved him.
Round Three-Griffin came up looking
very weak, but he soon recovered and rushed
Clark into his corner. He was unable to
punish his man very much He got in

the round was finished it looked like any

Round Four-Both men fought hard and
furiously and Griffin gave some good blows,
while Clark got back on the st. Paul mans

vicious swinging blows. He was putting
hard and was evidently short of wind.
Round Five-Griffin landed hard one, but
received some smashers in return. Clark

blood for Griffin and it was allowed.
Round Six-Griffin made several leads but
did not land. Later one he got in one or
two. and chased Clark around the ring. He
caught Clark off his guard and hit him a ter
rife blow that sent him to the floor like
shot. Time was called for the end Of the
sixth round and called again for the seventh,
but Clark failed TO respond, and the referee
crowd nearly went wild and cheered Griffin
to the echo.
