TIE SILVER BOW CONTEST.
Republicans Secure Only Six Members from
the Disputed Montana District

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 15.-There have been
no new developments in the Silver Bow
contest to-day, save that. instead of the
Republicans getting in their entire legis-
lative delegation they only get in six MEM
bers, but that number is sufficient to over
come the Democratic majority which
showed On the face of the returns. The
general opinion among lawyers is that the
Silver Bow canvassers had no noauth0rity to 60
back on the returns. and that the court Will
decide in favor of the counting of the bal
lots as returned by the judges of elections.
The Democrats are very outspoken in de-
nunciation of the action of the canvassers
The official returns from every county
but one received tonight show that the
Republicans have thirty-eight members of
the Legislature, and the Democrats thirty
two, with one doubtful, in Madison county.
The Republicans will have from to 9 ma
jority on joint ballot, but as the decision of
the cnnvassing board in Silver Bow county
is to be tested in the courts. there is no tell
will get their certificates of election.
Without that county the Senate will
be Republican and Democratic, and
the House 25 Republican and 90 Democratic.
The secretary of the Territory has as yet
received official returns from only four
counties, and it will probably be week
yet before the official count of the Territory
can be made. The Democrats claim that
the contest in Silver Bow will de-
lay the admission of the State. but the Re-
publicans hold that statehood is contingent
only on the adoption of the constitution.
AS soon as this is certified to the President
they expect admission. L. e. Power. Re-
publican candidate for G overnor, is likely
to institute contest before the Territorial
canvassing board on the vote of Deer Lodge
county. If this should succeed, Power
would be Governor.

ITALY AND THE rOPE.
Prime Minister Crispi Says the Vatican VIII

Prime Minister Crispi Says the Vatican viii
Not BE Allowed tn Interfere i'm Politics.
ROME, Oct. ia banquet was given to
Prime Minister Crispi. at Palermo, last
night. Forty Senators and 14O men,
bers of the Chamber of Deputies were pres
ent. Signor Crispi delivered an address, in
which he referred to the severe strain of
his parliamentary labors since 1887, the
blame for which, he admitted, it would be
unjust to impute to the majority either in
Parliament or the country. especially after
the signs of affection recently lavished on
him when an assassin attempted TO take his
life. lie touched upon the reforms neces-
sary in the educational system. and prom
ised measures for the relief of the poor. He
declared that it was necessary to combat
all persons, high or low. who were seeking
to undermine the political edifice of Italy.
The temporal power of the Pope, although
it had existed for centuries. had been only
q transition period. Rome existed before it,
and would continue to exist without it.
Complaints or threats either from home or
abroad would have no effect. lie declared
unassailable the utterance of King Hum
bert that Rome forms an integral part of
Italy just as law forms a part Of the modern
world. After asserting that the Pope pos
sessed perfect religious liberty and was
only restricted, and less harshly than in
other Catholic states, from encroaching
upon the sphere OF national right. which is
the right of reason, Signor Crispi exclaimed:
"Let the church. now free, now endeavor
to frighten Prometheus with the thunder
bolts of heaven. Our task is to fight in the
cause of reason"
He next touched upon the subject OF
anarchism, which, he said, was easier to
combat than the church. He appealed ia
all men of advanced but reasonable ideas
to separate openly from the creators of dis
order, national discord and social disorgan-
ization who were pretending to represent
the ideas Of Mazxini and Garibaldi.

MIR. TANNER's SIDE.


He Justifies His Action Concerning senator
Manderson's Pension-Gen. PoweT's Case.
WASHINGTON. Oct 15.-The Post this
morning publishes an interview with Com
missioner Tanner, in which he justifies his
action in re-ratiDg Senator Manderson's
pension. He says: Il have not seen copy
of Secretary Mobiles letter to Senator Man
derson. but. judging from the extracts
quoted in Senator Manderson's letter.
presume that he decided that the re-rating
was illegal, because no application had
been made. and if that is the reason, all
can say is that the Secretary must have
very peculiar ideas concerning the case.
My conception of the duties of the COM
missioner of Pensions is entirely different.
/ have always considered that he should see
that entire Justice is done TO all pensioners.
If he discovers case where Injustice Is
being done to a 2ensioner, be should right
the wrong, and am of that opinion still.
Secretary Noble to the contrary notwith-
standing"
Speaking further on the subject, the
Commissioner said it recalled TO his mind
the case of Gen. William III. Powell. who
was re-rated just f0ur DAYS prior TO his
fTanner'sD appointment. General Powell.
he said, had received q gun-shot wound in
the shoulder, and was receiving a pension
of $50 per month when Mr. Noble was
made Secretary. General Powell went TO
Commissioner Black with a note from Sec
retary Noble. in which the latter asked the
Commissioner to do all he could for the
General. General Powell declined to sub
init to medical examination. but, notwifh-
standing this fact. had his pension in
creased to $50 per month and dated back To
1885, And this" concluded Commissioners
Tanner. with emphasis, was done at the
instigation of Secretary Noble. four days
before received my appointments"

proof of the difficulty John Bull finds in in

the enterprising financiers who took ad-
vantage of the Shah's presence to give a
big boom to their Persian bank scheme
now prove themselves equal to the emer-

appetite with nything Persian, remains to
be seen, but this is evidently the theory on
which these wildcat speculations have been
launched. All have a galaxy of fine names
at their head to give tone to the enterprises
and encourage investors to part with their
pounds, shillings and pence for beautifying
engraved certificates. No doubt some of
these works of art will find purchasers. and
some of the proceeds of the sale will go to
Persia to found enterprises of one sort or

THE JURY-BRIBERY PLOT.
States Attorney Longenecker Trying to Find
the Conspirators-Gr Statement.

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-The investigation into
the methods of the iury-bribers is tempo
rarily at rest to-day. The efforts of the
State are now directed toward finding out
the leader of the conspiracy. States At
tOrney Longenecker thinks the connection
between kavanaugh and the minor con-
spirators and that between Kayanaugh and
John Graham have been established. 1t
now remains to be discovered who is be-
hind Graham. That there is such man
no one connected with the prosecution ap-
pears to doubt. Owing however. to the
refusal of Graham to make any sort of
statement the prosecution is baffled, for
time, in the investigation of the plot. Other
lowed. and it Is believed that these will
eventually lead to the detection
of the man who has been
the prime mover in the conspiracy

said to-day: There is just as much truth
in the story that | have confessed as there
is In the other tale. which credits me with
an income of $4,000 year and fortune
of 100000. i know nothing whatever of
tell nothing about it." The grand jury ad-
jOurned for the day without returning any
additional indictments.
1t has been arranged that one of the first
incidents after the full jury has been se-
cured in the Cronin case will be the exhi-
bition in court of the bleached skull and
the articulated bones of the right hand of
the body found in the catch basin. They
will be used for the Identification of the
body as that of DR.. Cronin. Dentist Lewis,
who made the plates and false teeth worn
by Cronin, will testify that they are those

that the broken joint of one of Cronin's
fingers corresponds to that of the skeleton.

New YORK san in parkpc...

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.--Argument was be-
gun to-day in the Supreme Court on the
application of the elsctric-light companies
TO make permanent the injunction restrain
fering with their wires. The companies
claim that until sufficient accommodation
is provided in the subways the wires must
be permitted to remain overhead. If any
defects in insulation exist the companies
are willing to shut off the current from the
wires on which the defects are found. The
argument will proceed tomorrow. Mean
while. the companies will keep the current
shut off on all circuits. The city Is dark
again tonight. but few gas-lamps have
been brought into use and the weather Is
clear, so that wayfarers are not SO unpleas-
antly situated for the night.
