Exports of Cattle.

Speaking of the heavy exports OF live cat
tie and dressed beef, which have been sucE
a feature of the cattle trade this spring, 6
New York daily says: Last week the ex
ports were equal to 14.2O0 head OF cattle
which is said to be unprecedented in the his
tory OF business. To accommodate this
great trade every regular steamer that
leaves the United States is used except the
Cunard line. Even the superb Inman liner
the City of Paris, took 1000 quarters O
beef. The carrying of passengers by the
National line steamers is stopped, mainly
for the benefit of exporters who want to
ship live cattle. The National, Beever and
Hill lines are occupied almost entirely in
carrying live cattle. This boom in expor.
tation has been growing steadily for ten
months, and is owing to the fact that cat.
tie are low in price in this %count1y and high in
price in England, and that the great corn
crop OF last summer put the beeves in bet
ter condition than ever before"

A SLIGHT CHANGE IN xACxICG.
Sundays Helena sJournalr prints in
double-leaded type the following special
dispatch from Washington:
Full investigation shows that the n q
tional Republican committee does not con-
template assuming any responsibility In
connection with the direction Of the am
paign in Montana, or any Of the new
states.
Chairman Quay is endeavorins to recu-
perate his impaired health, and the only
work he intends to undertake will be con.
fined to his necessary Senatorial duties
prior to the assembling Of Congress-.
A prominent member OF the committee
said to.day. that while the committee felt
a deep interest in the success OF the party
in the new states, that the local managers
in each state had the campaign work in
hand, and it was neither the duty nor the
intention of the national committee to in.
terfere with local management.
If Republicans desire the aid OF speakers
from the East. the local party organize
tions must communicate direct with such
speakers as may be desired for the purpose
OF concluding satisfactory arrangements.
In view Of the information previously
given to the public on this point, the
above statement seems rather incon-
gruous. In fact, it is little else than q
blind.
The Republican party of the East
know well enough that it can carry Mon
tana only by excessive use of money and
"blocks of five" methods. It is desirable
to have Montana, and there is, very
clearly, distrust in the national commit
tee over the ability Of the local managers
to carry the day. Hence the determine
ton of the Eeastern leaders to have the
national committee take chargeof affairs
here.
The exposure Of facts by THE MINER
has doubtless caused the leaders to give
publicity to the statement above repro
duced from the journal" The only
change likely, in the real methods of the
leaders, however, is in the more secret
management of the campaign. That is
all this open circular means, read be-
tween the lines, as is proper in this case.

attendance was very good. The bald

Jokes took immensely, Billy Arnold proving
an inimitable end man.. The Edgertons
followed in some clever performances on
the trapese which were neatly done. The
clog dancing of Allen and Page was a
clean cut piece of work, introducing some
intricate steps. Ida Gardner and Camille

applause and was one OF the prettiest

The Mississippi and other state au.
thorities are making it somewhat inter.
esting for some of the parties who at.
tended the late passage at arms between
one Sullivan and another one Kilrain, as
aiders and abettors. But it is worthy Of
note that the two principals are sailing
Scott free through the Northern states.
These little legal peculiarities may not
do much to discourage the noble and
manly art of pugilism, but they ought to
have a somewhat depressing effect on the
spectators and bottle holders and seconds
and other fun-loving citizens who are
entertained by such royal sport. While
the referee and a few others connected
with the late affair of honor and dol
lars are wondering how they can placate
the law and keep out of durance vile,
Sullivan is reveling in Chicago, and Kill
is suspected of being in New York
or Baltimore.

against modern guns. Mr.. Creepy proposes
to take the turrets off the monitors and
to place on each two large cannon mounted
on disappearing gun carriages. They are
to be sighted and aimed from below decks
by the Intervention OF mirrors. They are
also to be loaded below the water line, and
hoisted into place by pneumatic power.
The recoil of each gun carries it back below
