Egyptian Preserved Meats.

New YORK. April s.-Within
tho past year corporation has
been formed in Chicago for tho purpose of
preserving meats, fruits, vegetables, etc,
by what they term tho Egyptian process.
From what can be learned Of the process,
meats can be kept fresh by it for an indeil-
mite period. The company claims to be
able TO keep fresh meats longer than ro-
frigcrator cars can.
As with all other successful institutions,
English capital finds its way toward il. To
test the process for tho benefit of the Eng
lishmen, ak weeks ago, lot of fresh
killed American game Of various kinds WINS
shipped to London, after having been sub
iccted to the Egyptian process for short
time. On last Thursday this game was
served at q banquet given at the Continent
al Hotel In the Engliah capital 20 the Eng
lish syndicate that has already subscribed

Valuable Discovery Of Senator BareIa.

6Peci3i 70 Inc DenFer hepuDNcan-
PUEBLO, April 9.-Senator Cassi-
nero Barela, of Trinidad, was in the city
o-day, and when seen by the Republican
reporter this evening stated that his bus
iness in Pueblo was to get legal advice
and arrange for commencing suit to re-
cover q sixth interest in the Nolan Grant
which he only recently discovered that he
owned.
The Nolan Grant comprises $1,000 acres
Of the finest and best land in Pueblo
County. 1t lies mostly south and east OF
the City Of Pueblo, and most OF that por-
tion Of the city formerly known as South
Pueblo is located on the Nolan Grant
Bessemer and the steel works and the
Colorado and Philadelphia Smelters are
also located on this grant, and it is estim,
atssd that sixth interest is easily worth
81 900, 900.
This grant is owned by the Colorado
Coal and Iron Company, and was pur-
chased in the seventies from Charles
Goodnight snd Charles Blake, who pur.
chased the land from Fernandez Nolan,
who represented the heirs to the estate.
Mr.. Barela's father purchased the sixth in.
| terest in the grant which Mr.. Barela now
Claimed "a years ago, and it was only re-
Gently, when visiting his mother and look.
ing over some old papers that the original
deed making the transfer was found.
Mr.. Barela has since written to the
County Clerk and Recorder of Mora Coun.
ty, New Mexico, where the sale was made
and has received q transcript of the record
| showing that the deed he holds is valid
and that the interest has never since been
sold or otherwise disposed of.
The Colorado Coal and Iron Company
will doubtless fight the suit to recover this
interest on the statute of limitations pro
vided Mr.. Barcla succeeds in establishing
his claim, but that gentleman told your re
porter that he intended to push the matter
for all that It was worth, and seems conf
dent that he has good case

The BuIldozing Policy of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 9.-In @
speech in the House of representatives
last night Andrew Carnegie savagely at
tackled the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
papy, declaring that it was injuring bust
ness and depreciating the value of prop
erty In large sections of Pennsylvania in
order to hold its traffic monopoly. He
gave . history of how it killed the South
Pennsylvania Railroad scheme. The road
was to have been built Vanderbilt sub
scribed q, ,ooo, 900 and Carnegie sa,5OO, 900,
but the Pennsylvania company drove the
former to recede from the project by
threatening to iniure his other railroad
properties. This was when he was in
broken health. Since his death the pres
ent Vanderbilt management had agreed to
Join with Carnegie in building the South
Pennsylvania road, but were driven out
by the same threats. Carnegie advised
the Legislature to take the matter in hand
and bring the Pennsylvania company to
terms.

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
On the 4th of March last the Civil Service
Commission had but a single member The
vacancies were filled on the eth day of May,
industriously, though with an inadequate
appropriation engaged in executing the
law. They were assured by me that u cor
dial support would be given them in the
faithful and impartial inforcement of the
adopted in aid Of it, ne Heresofore the BOOK OF
eligibles has been closed to every one, except
as certifications were made upon the reQuisi
ton of the appointing officers. This secresy
was the source of much suspicion and of many
charges of favoritism in the administration
of the law. What is secret is always suspect
ed, and what is open can be judged The
commission, with the full approval of it's
members, has now opened the list of eligibles
post offices and custom houses are now pub
liclv posted in the respective offices, as are
also the certihcatiOnS for appointments.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The reform of the civil service will make n o
safe or satisfactory advance until the present
law and its equal administration are well
established in the confidence of the people
1t will BE my pleasure, as it is my duty, to
see that the law is executed with firmness and
impartiality. If some of it's provisions have
been fraudulently evaded by appointing
officers our resentment should not suggest
ministration. We should have one view of
the matter, and hold it with sim
cerity that is not affected by the CON
sideration that the party to which
we belong is for the time in power
My predecessor, on the 4th day of january,
1889, by an executive order, to take effect
March Is, brought the railway mail service
under the operation of the Civil Service
laws. Provision was made that the order
should take effect sooner in any State where
an eligible list was sooner obtained. On the
18th day of March Mr.. Lyman, then the
only member of the commission, reported to
me in writing That it would not be possible
to have the list of eligible ready before May
i, and requested that the taking effect of the
order be postponed until that time. which

MIGHTY RESOURCES.


1t is difficult thing for the ordinary
mind, and particularly for the individual
not familiar with the economic questions
of the day, to grasp the idea of the i'm
portance Q these great acquisitions which
he here surrounding this new and fair
town of Great Falls [applause]; but when
we pause for Il moment and consider that
all the objects. within the range of our
vision which we make subservient to our
uses have been framed and finished by
the complicated operations Of heat and
force, whether that force be by the exer-
else of manual labor or through the cp-
erations of the visible or invisible forces
of nature, and when we contemplate that
to these elements, guided by the instincts
and by the inventive genius of the facul-
ties of the human mind, are to be attribut-
ed more than to anything else the great
progress that has been made in the INDUS
trial arts, in the sciences and in the de-
velopment of the material resources OF
this country, we are struck forcibly with
the fact that you have here in the great
coal beds that lie imbedded in the neigh.
boring hills and in the dynamic forces of
| these reefs, the elements of wealth that
Ilt6ll ulll Ilt luuCh VI llliuoll lpus
to insure the most beneficial and import
ant results. [Applause.] Now here is
one point that wish to call your atten-
tion to. 1t is we'll known fact that cleo
tricity, that subtle, mysterious and invis-
ible force Of which we know little, is be.
ing fashioned and is being commanded
by the genius of man to perform the
most important results; and it has beer
found to be an economical and eXpedien
agent in the separation of copper from
the precious metals. The metallurgy Of
copper is one of the most important ques
tions that present themselves to the scien
tifc age. The difficulty heretofore ha
been in the great expense attending th
separation Of copper from the preciou
metals. 1t is simply a question of powe
converted into electricity; and electricitt,
stands today as the paramount agent il
this great and important work; and th'
great dynamic forces that are here exert
ed may be converted into electricity ant
may be housed and accumulated by mean
that are we'll known, and conveyed b.
wires to convenient points for the pur
pose of this great work.

surprised at their productiveness and fer
tility, let me tell you that between here
and the boundary of the territory there
are 800 miles OF bench lands that will
raise crops Of No. hard wheat that will
discount Dakota's best. Cheers.
L tell you that you who have never gone
through the territory as have done and
seen its grand resources and its varied
products that when our railroad system
Is complete and our mines developed the
exports of the state of Montana in miner
ais, in wool, in beef and in agricultural
products, will go over the grand sum Of a
hundred million dollars year Applause.
With such q state, full Of such material
resources, we need not be ashamed that
we are now going into the union Of states.
We do not go in on our knees, but we go
in with heads uplifted, claiming only
what is rightly our own. We have re-
sources that will make us the greatest
commonwealth In all the northwest,
and we have intelligent people and
beautiful scenery. Here will grow all
those fine qualities which decorate and
adorn nation. Here shall Liberty
dwell and in these valleys, set like emer-
aid gems among the mountains, will
grow up people filled with noble inspir-
alton and the highest aspirations. Be-
yond these western hills, which our faith
ers only knew by name, and amid this
grand scenery will arise men of lofty
minds, who will walk like those who
hold their communion with the inmost
thoughts of Nature and receive their in
spiration from the throne of the living
God. Prolonged applause.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Hilger
Clark, Knowles, Toole, Putnam, Webster
Craven, Cockrill and Merry. Lack Of
space compels us to hold over these fol

masterly speech, which we shall print in

hilarity. The assemblage sang with great
ardor the "Star Spangled Banner" Mr.

Has not the experience of Montana as a

.MARCUs DAILY IN TOWN.
Everybody Pleased Mt This Visit from the
Veteran Miner and Capitalist.


Veteran Miner and Capitalist.
Mr.. Marcus DAILY arrived from tile east
by the Manitoba train today. Mr. II. u.
Collins who was about to leave for Helena
to resume his duties as delegate, at once
decided to remain over in order to show
the veteran miner and capitalist the at
fractions of Great Falls ard its suburbs.
The news soon became known that Mr..
DAILY was IN town and it caused much
public satisfaction. Mr.. Daly's fame pre-
aeeded lllm uuu everyone wished rul q
chance to assure him OF goodwill and
esteem. ....
Mr.. Days honorable and successful
career is we'll known to our people. He
has by his own energy and ability advan-
eed step by step until he is now at the
head of the greatest industrial establish
ment in the United States-tLe far-famed
Anaconda works. He has mastered prac-
tically the almost endless details connect
ed with the mining and reduction Of cop
per and has applied this knowledge with
so much success that he is now leading
capitalist as we'll as part owner in the
great Anaconda properties and works.
Better still, Mr.. DAILY is public spirited
citizen who has founded at Anaconda a
growing city which has now hotel of
great magnitude and splendor, erected by
| Mr.. DAILY and some business associates.
Mr.. DAILY came to Butte about IL years
ago from Utah, where he had extensive
experience in mining. He became su,
peuntendent of the Alice mine and con
Quoted its affairs so we'll that he realized
handsome fortune from the sale of the
stock which he held. .5
Mr.. DAILY next allied himself with the
IIaggin g. Tevis interest at Butte and fol
them bought the Anaconda mine foi
100000. He applied his restless energy
to the development of this property
which, with the great smelter at Anacon
da, stands unrivalled in this country o1
great undertakings. Under Mr.. Daly's
management the Anaconda property has
been developed to the 1000 foot station
From this underground city, for such Y j
might be called, 100000 tons Of ore are
raised annually. This ore is sent by rail
road to the immense works at Anaconda
where it is reduced at the rate Of 1,OO'
tons day. Hero since 1888 has sprung
up smelter that cost $1,50O,O0O.
Mr.. DAILY, who has other large interest,"
in mines, banks and railroads, owns
stock farm which is the pride of Mon
tana. He has there some horses OF rae
ing renown and he adds constantly to tn
number when the opportunity offers t
procure thoroughbreds of greatspeed ant
superior symmetry.
Mr.. DAILY is above all a broad guage cit
izen who has added greatly to the we'll
being of the workingmen of Montana.
In company with Mr.. Collins, Mr.. Dal,
visited the smelter and Rainbow falls thi
afternoon. 4.....
In st. Paul the Manitoba railroad wa
about to provide Mr.. DAILY with specia
J car, but with his usual unconcern TO
luxury he came on the regular train.
