by the state board of canvasSerS to de-
mand the correct returns Of the canvass

the alleged returns from Silver Bow

by the Silver Bow canvassing board.
County Clerk Booth refused to allow
the special courier to even glance at the
rel urns until he had consulted with his
lawyers, as to whether the messenger
should be given the privilege of copy
of the official record. He came back
and Informed the messenger that he
would not allow him 10 copy the returns
nor give him an abstract of them.
Booth. however, wrote a letter to the
state canvassing board explaining his
position, and intruSted it to the special
messenger to bring back to Helena.

Lutte for the capital. Pending the re-
suit of this mission the state canvassiDg
board met at 10 o'clock this morning.
and adjourned until 2 o'clock this after

at Butte announcing that Clerk Booth
refused to give up the returns. On re-

A SOLUTION AT LAST.

Upon.
West Side Of Cedar, Between
Eighth and Ninth, the
Site.
McElfatrick Now Preparing
Plans for a $250,000
Structure.
Lou Scott, as Manager, Goes
on a Booking Tour To-
Morrow.

The halo of uncertainty which has for
some time surrounded the prospect Of
an opera house for st. Paul has at last
been re moved. The west side of Cedar
street. between Eighth and Ninth
streets will be the site of a s250.000 thea.
ter, to be opened on the 1st of Septems
Der, next, with L. q. Scott as manager.
The men who have decided to invest so
large an amount in a theater for
st. Paul. are. perhaps, three OF
the best known in the city,
Messrs. Oppenheim, Kalman and
Stickney. The decision to build
was reached yesterday after the project
had been carefully considered in all its
phases, and the announcement Will
prove an extremely satisfactory settle-
would build theater, and when.
Messrs McElfpatrick s. Son,oof New
York, who prepared the plans for the
Broadway theater in that city. the
fremont opera house in Boston, and
the Chicago Opera house, have been
engaged on the plans for the
new theater for several weeks
and will shortly submit them.
The capacity of the new house is to be
1850, and the building will be entirely
of stone on the exterior. 1t has been
decided that the season is too far ad.
vanced to break ground for the building
this fall. but ali material will be got on
the ground before cold weather sets in,
and construction begin with the first
Mr. Scottss selection as man
ager will give universal satisfaction
as his ability is unquestioned. and his
popularity unequaled by that of any
other manager in the West. Mr.. Scott
will leave for New York city tomorrow
in his capacity as manager of the new
house, for the purpose of booking his
seasons attractions. That creditable
theater will now be built is
an absolute certainty, and st. Paul
people may congratulate themselves
on the fact that there is nothing vision-
ary about the present scheme. it is a go,
the moneyis up, aud the theater will be
built as quickly as practicable.
The new theater will be run on tho
circuit plan with the Grand at Mime
apolis, and Manager COnklin. of the
latter, will accompany Manager Scots

Blaine is In danger.
A move is on foot to bounce him out
of the cabinet. and put Harrison in.
Harrison himself is engaged in the
problem of how to get Blaine out, and
thousands of distinguished people the
nation over are busily working to the
same end.
In the houses, the Offices and the
shops of the East everybody is engaged
IN working ont this latest puzzle craze
-"Blocksiof Five" It is political puz-
Zie, Int It has no partisan feature.
Democrats, Republicans and Mug
wumps are alike swallowed up in the
craze for this ingenious little puzzle;
and even the Probibihonists forget
their solemn duties, and are worrying
their brains over the puzzle OF how
to get Blaine out and Harrison in. The
puzzle has reached st. Paul. and In
few days the fur0r will have extended
all over the Northwest. Everybody
will have "BlOcks of Five" in his pocket,
putting in his spare time working Blaine
out. It is patent to all that Blaine is a
bigger man than Harrison, and is nearer
the center of the governmental ma
chine; the problem is to get him out,
and put him in the proper place IN the
cabinet. leaving Harrison snugly in the
vacated place. 1t is an administration
puzzle In the interest of governmental
reform, and will be worked upon by
verybody.

time and ingenuity to work it out. 1t
presents Blaine snugly ensconced about
the White house, with Harrison on the
outside The puzzle is to change their
respective positions, so as to get Blaine
out. The puzzle is little box of blocks,
which are to be worked about, without
lifting, until the problem is solved. 1t
may take you two hours or it may take
five minutes. but all you have to do is to
get Blaine out and send in the time to
the GLOBE office. If your time is the
shortest you will get the S25. The di-
rectiOns are as follows:

red and white alternately on the outside,
so that the red read: ''HarrisOn," and

Weidler is employed as watchman by

over the excavations made for poles

him. three of them holding him while
fourth pounded him over the head with

bleeding profusely from severe scalp

REGULARS AND VOLUNTEERS.
KeIton Thinks They Should Be
Drilled Tooether.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The annual
report of Adiutant-General KeltOn tothe
secretary of war was was made public
to-day. 1t deals largely with the mill
tia question. He recommends that
state encampments be of longer dura-
tiOn-frOm ten days to two weeks. All
men called out, he says should be trans
ported. SubSiSted and tented at the eX-
pense of the state and general govern
ment, with per diem allowance to OFF,
GERS and enlisted men: and troops
should not be forced to leave their home
at their own expense, whether for in
struction OF for actual service. lie says
that the presence of regular troops at
the encampments of the national guards
of states, this year. appears to have
been positive benefit. He recommends
that congress be asked to authorize,
on the application of governor ot
state having an armed militia force OF
not less than 5000 men, the muster In
to the service of the United States for
period of forty days of battalion OF
ten selected companies. of thirty men
each, made up from regiments of the
national guard of that state, for the
purpose of serving with the United
States troops in one of the summer
camps of instruction west of the Miss
issippi river; the enlisted men
of this selected force, after such
muster and while On duty, to be
entitled to double the pay and allow
ances authorized by present laws to
volunteer forces called into service OF
the government. The adiutant general
calls attention to the fact that forty
eight officers of the army, who have
been found incapacitated for active ser
vice, and recommended for retirement,
are now at their homes receiving full
pay while awaiting the final action OF
the government in their cases. The
military service of the government, he
says, will be promoted by an act OF con-
gress removing all restrictions udOn re-
tirements. He recommends that the
compensation of army chaplainS be
graded according to their usefulness
and zeal. He also recommends that the
act of congress of 1885 authOriZ-
ing the retirement Of enlisted men, be
amended so as to provide for the retire.
ment of enlisted men who have served
fifteen or twenty years, when, IN the
opinion of the secretary OF war, the eX-
igencies of the service permit. He rec
ommends that at any time between the
first and second year of the enlistment,
and when the command to which they
belong are not engaged in active mill
tary operations, enlisted men may re-
ceive their discharge on their own ap-
plication, conditioned on the payment
of 500. They should also have the
privilege of applying for discharge six
months prior to the expiration of the
third year of their enlistment, which
discharge. unconditional, shall be
granted. unless the troops are engaged
