Between Deer Lodge and Helena.
DEER LODGE, Feb. L-[special TO the

from the territory for maintenance OF ter
ritorial prisoners for the month OF Decem-
Der, was mailed by the territorial auditor
at Helena addressed 10 United States Mar
shal r. s. Kelley at Deer Lodge. since
which time nothing whatever has been
seen or heard OF II. At first it was thought
1t had accidentally been placed In the
wrong pouch and had been carried 10 Port
land or ST. Paul, but this idea was soon
abandoned, as tracers were unable 10 find
any evidence of II at either place, and the
officials are as much In the dark as ever.
The check was drawn on the First Ma
tlonAl bank Of Helena. payable TO the order
Of Marshal Kelley, hnd signed by Governor
Leslie. Payment has been stopped. but
the check could easily be made negotiable
by forging the marshaPs signature.
After reasonable length Of time had
elapsed, Marshal Kelley applied 70 the
auditor for n duplicate with which 10 pay
the December expenses Of the penItentlary,
but was Informed that he would have 10
give a bond Of $500 In order to indemnify
the territory against any possible loss that
might occur through the original check
This the marshal refused to do, as he doel
not wish 10 be held responsible for the
carelessness OF others. A lawsuit In which
the United States will be plaintiff and the
territory defendant will be the result
should the matter not be settled soon. Ii
the meantime the officials are puzzlin,
their brains as TO what has become OF the
check, after being mailed at Helena.

Independent THE argument before Sec
retary Villas upon the question affecting
the location OF Sioux half-breed scrip,
which has occupied three days, was closed
today by Van IL. Manning, OF Mississippi.

II valid, the location could be afterward
made TO conform to the lines Of surveys.
This scrip was located by attorneys In fact
at or near Glendive, Mont; about DEVILS
Lake, OAK, and about Duluth. Settlers
took up the land subsequently, and the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate fur
ther de bated the British extradition treaty
nearly three hours to-day and Il
was finally rejected. 1t has been supposed
by some that with the Objectionable politi-
cal offences section stricken out, II might

sides that a treaty for the extraditi0n Of
embezzlers and fOrgers was greatly 10 be
desired by the United States. hut as Il
was pointed out In debate this afternoon,
the striking ont of the Objectionable clause
would not remove that subject from the
field OF negotiat on, nor would n reference
OF the treaty 10 a committee with the un-
derstanding II should not be reported, dis
pose Of II. IL the treaty as amended was
ratified, II would be relegated 10 the realm
of diplomacy, where the representatives Of
the other contracting powers might insist
upon having the rejected clause inserted
again, and the treaty, II was shown, could
not forever slumber In the cOmmittee's &
