the conference was called in reference to

that is all there is for the convention to
consider, and in the opinion of the CON-
mlttee the only effective way to reach 1t
is by legislation, il the same can be done
without encroaching upon the organic law
of the land. The report was adopted.
The committee on needed legislation
presented as a desirable measure the bill
submitted by the Texas delegation, which
will probably become a law in Texas.
This bill deals with the definition OF trusts
and the penalties to be inflicted for viola
ton of the acts. The sections defining
trusts is as follow:
ITO make or enter into or carry out any
contract or agreement of any kind or
description by which they shall bind or
have bound themselves not TO sell, dispose
or transport any article or commodity or
article OF trade. use, merchandise. com
merce or consumption below a common
standard figure, or by which they shall
agree in any manner to keep the
price of said articles, commodity or trans
portatiop at a fixed or graduated figure,
or by which they shall in any manner es
tablisb or settle the price of any article
or commodity or Transportation between
themselves, or others to preclude
free and unrestricted competition among
themselves or others or BY which they
shall agree to pool. combine or unite any
interest they may have in connection with
the sales or transportation of any such
articles or commodity that its price might
in any manner be affected"
The clause concerning the infection of
punishment provides that any corporation
violating any provisions of the act shall
forfeit its charter and franchise, and its
corporate existence shall cease; any for
eign corporation under similar conditions
shall be denied the right to do business in
the state. ANY violation is also declared
conspiracy against trade, and when con-
yicted carries a fine and Imprisonment,
the maximum beng S., 900 and ten years.
After a few slight changes the bill was
adopted by the following vote:
Yeas-Colorado 8, Iowa 8, illinois s,

an Interview.


special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
OMAHA, Neb., March l3.-The bids
for the construction of the new Union
Pacific shops at Cheyenne were opened
to-day at headquarters. The names and
residences Of the bidders were as follows:
+. M. Sharp of Kansas City, NJ. P.
Keefe Of Cheyenne, M. j. Moran of
Omaha and B. Lantry & Son of Strong
City, Kas. Action will not be taken in
the matter for several days. The several
amounts of tie bids were not made public.
NJ. p. Keefe, one of the bidders. re-
turned home yesterday. He says there
were IN all seven persons invited 10 bid
upon the work. The bids submitted were
for brick and not stone, as the former
stands the vibration better. Bids were
made on the structures only from the
water tables up as the foundations will
be constructed by the yard or foot. The
buildings upon which bids have for the
present been received are a blacksmith
shop 263xS0 in Dimensions, with an ad-
dition Of 2sx20 feet; machine and erect
ing shop, 223x125 feet; boiler and engine
room and l~avatory, 132x50 feet. Under
the contract all of this work must be com
pleted by Nov. L.
Mr.. Keefe evidently went in to get the
contract if such a thing were possible.
He has an advantage in the fact that he
lives here. and therefore would be under
no expense of moving his construction
machinery and tools from elsewhere.
Cheyenne people would Of course very
much like to see him get the contract,
and there is no doubt the work will be
thoroughly done should it fall into his
his hands.
The machinery which goes into the
building after it is completed will of course
be the most important item of expense
that the company will go to. 1t is SAID
100000 worth Of machinery will go into
the present plant within the next thirty
days, as much repairing work which has
heretofore been done in Omaha can with
such additional facilities be more speedily
and inexpensively done here.
Work at the shop grounds continued as
usual yesterday. The site of the car
wheel foundry, which will be added to the
accepted plans. Is being surveyed and pre-
| parations are on foot to push the work to
speedy completion.

THE TRUE

Every man in Montana who knows the
facts respecting the vote of the Tunnel
precinct, knows that the Republican
members Of the %canvassing board, VIM.
M. Jack, and VIM. E. Hall refused to count
that vote simply because fraud had not
been perpetrated. There never was a
time during the canvass that the Tun-
mel precinct was known to be other than
unanimously Democratic. The Repub-
lican county central committee knew it
and made no hones5 effort to change it,
but as is we'll known in this community,
that committee did intend to perpetrate
an eleventh hour fraud in that precinct
whereby the vote would be unanimously
Republican. But they were foiled in do
ing so. and for which reason and no
other, Jack and Hall of canvassing
board infamy were called upon to do an
act of personal dishonOr and they did
The Republican managers in this
county expected to be able to bring such
influence to bear as would compel
every voter at the Tunnel precinct to
vote the Republican ticket or lose his
job. That is just what they were willing
Ind anxious to do and expected to do.
But in spite of them, a. flee vote and a
tair count were had at the Tunnel, and
fOr which reason Jack and Hall refused
10 recognize the returns.

Ii the counting of the ballots secretly
by the judges at precinct No. "a was suf-
1clent cause for the vote to be thrown
out, why were not the returns from pre-
cinct No. IA thrown ont, where the same
of affairs existed?

FINDING

The Republican press, for want Of
something better to do, are quoting a
section Of the statute requiring the
clerks Of elections to make the returns
and requiring that the canvass shall be
made In public. Both these provisions,
they claim, were violated at the Tunnel
precinct. While the ~canvassing board
were In session it was shown by the law
yers, who quoted the most eminent au-
thorittes on the subject, that both provis-
Ions were merely directory, but ever if
they had not been, and had been VIC
lated, that In no wise altered the duty of
the board of canvassers. That is uuques-
toned and is expressed in the single
sentence Of the statute: "They shall
proceed to open the returns and anvas
the VOTE" No more and no less. They
were simply clerks, not accusers, judges,
jury and executioners, all of which they
assumed to be, and acted upon the as
sumption. In doing this, Messrs. Hall
and Jack violated the law and their oath
OF Office. Their act was a fraud as in
famous as was ever perpetyated, and, in
the light Of recent developments, there is
no escaping the conclusion that it was as
deliberately planned as it was servilely
executed. Campbell's platitudes and
afidavits were only excuses
to cover the tracks. The plot was ar
before the board met, and its
contamination was only delayed to blind
people with the belief that they were
the matter consideration.
