Blending Fleets.

LONDON, October 5th.-Very grave and
important news comes from Berlin this
evening that the squadron of the German
fleet now in the Mediterranean Sea is to be
blended with the Italian fleet, and both
are to be under one commander.
The public announcement of this event
will take place while Emperor William is
at Mona, where he and the Empress will
meet the Italian royal family on the 14th
inst.
The object of this movement is easy to
be understood. BY combining the two fleets

Professor Klotz pronounces this story of

says it could not be seen. He states that
many fine reflections are obtained in the

thing as the reflection of city thousands

MONTANA ELECTION.
1t is So Close That Neither Side Will
Give Up Bets.

1t is So Close That Neither Side Will
Give Up Bets.
ST. PAUL, October 5th.-A Pioneer Press
special from Helena says: While the Re-
publicans are almost ready to concede both
the Governorship and Legislature to the
Democrats, they will not do so until the
official count is made for the reason that
the result is close enough to warrant them
in claiming the Legislature. In several
the votes except that made use of at the
election, and those are now sealed and in
the hands of various County Clerks await
ing the official count.
According to law the official count must
be made within fifteen days after the
election, or may be made sooner if all the
returns are in.
On the face of the returns tonight the
Democrats have elected the Governor and
majority of the Legislature, but by mar
gins so narrow that full count may up
set either.
Individual Republicans concede the
Governor to the Democrats, and are half
convinced the Legislature is Democratic
but the Republican press and the State
Central Com mittee Concede neither.
The Republicans now claim the Legis-
lature by one or two, while the Democrats
claim it by from five to seven.
A curious condition Of affairs prevails
among the sporting fraternity, owing to
the close election.
Though Carter (Republican) is elected to
Congress by majority of 1,600 over Ma
ginnis (Democrat), the Democrats will not
give up any bets on Carriers election until
the Republicans give up the money bet on
the Governorship, as a contest is limited
at over the latter.
Republicans who bet on Power wisely
refuse to pay their bets until it is decided
Meanwhile about 100000 remains idle in
the hands of Stockholders in Helena and
Butte.

NEW CASES.
Damages Asked From the Pullman
Palace Car Company.

Damares Asked From the Pullman
Palace Car Company.
George w. Scheucb and his wife Kate
Scheuch have brought joint action against
the Pullman Palace Gar Company for
SO, 900 damages; and the former, as q
separate cause, for $25 900 damages. The
complaint in the first action sets forth
that the plaintiffs on the 11th day of Sep
tember last, paid their passage at Pasa-
oens and boarded Pullman car for Los
Angeles. Immediately on entering the
car, the porter, named Drifle, began to
abuse Mrs. Scheuch, using insulting lam
guage. Among other things he remarked
to her, "You are nothing but q scrub. I"
Being lady of refinement, Mrs. Scheuch
was greatly wounded in her feelings to be
thus berated in the presence of fifty peo.
pie, and as the company has refused to
discharge the disagreeable porter and the
conductor who stood by and permitted
the outrage to be perpetrated, q judg-
ment for $4,000 is asked.
The second complaint alleges that at
the time and place aforesaid, the porter,
Driffle, set upon the plaintiff as he
entered the car in company with his
wife, and with his clenched fist struck
him hard blows in the face, whereby he

RETAIL MERCHANTS.
A Small Atten dance at the Meeting
Yesterday.

A small Attendance at the Meeting
Yesterday.
Some time ago meeting was called
Of the retail merchants of the city to in
sugurate a movement which it was
hoped would result in the reduction of
rents in the business part OF town. A
large number came together, and the
proposition seemed to meet with general
favor with those present. Unfortunately
for the success of the undertaking moth
ing definite was done, and another meet
ing was called to take place during holi.
day week. AS it happened to rain very
hard on the appointed afternoon and it
was in very busy time, very few came
together, and it was decided to postpone
action until successful meeting could
be had.
Yesterday afternoon was the date fixed
for taking further action, and at 2 O'Clock
several men assembled the stairs to the G.
A. R. Hall on Main street. M. F. Tar
Bile who had been one of the active ms
6gators Of the undertaking, called to
order the half dozen who were present
and said that it was evident that nothing
oould be done in the way of forming q
permanent association when so few we're
on hand. He advised that committee
be appointed to prepare and circulate an
address on the subject of the necessity of
united action to secure lower rents. Mr..
Tarble also stated that whether or not
permanent organization was formed and
definite action taken some good had al
ready been done by the movement, as
the agitation of the subject had awakened
many retail dealers to determination to
demand more reasonable rates from their
landlords, and as result number Of
places we're being relet for lower rent
than had been previously charged.
The motion to appoint committee
was carried, but it was found difficult to
get anybody to serve as members.
Messrs. Butler, Siegel and Richardson
were finally appointed. The fact was
deplored by all present that so little in
forest should be shown in a movement
SO necessary and so advantageous to
those for whose benefit it had been
originally undertaken.

THE OUrFALL SEWER.
several Proportions Considered By
the Committee.

the COmmlttee.
The Sewer Committee met yesterday
afternoon TO consider the various prop
ositions submitted to the Council for
taking care Of the sewage after it reaches
the city limits. There were before the
committee the proposition OF j. G. Mer-
ril to take the sewage at the city limits
and carry it to the San Gabriel river, the
contract to be made for fifteen years the
proposition OF w. e. Reed & Co. to con-
struet brick sewer two miles south OF
the city for the actual cost of building it,
and to take care Of the sewage at this
point providing a perpetual right to all
the sewage of the city is granted them
from the Pacific Sewage Company to con-
struct their set Of filtering beds on the
West plan for O,OOO, and to take care
of the sewage for $40, 900 a year, unless
given the sewage for fifty years, under
which circumstances the disposal of the
sewage ia to be free and from Mr.. j. G..
DAILY, offering to build an outfall sewer
to the Hollenbeck land for actual
cost and turn it over to the
city, or to build the sewer free
Of all cost to the city if allowed to dispose
of the water. Representatives OF the
West sewer system were present at the
meeting, as also was Mr.. J. G. DAILY.
Mr.. Snyder for the West system said that
the Pacific Sewage Company would
build three sets of filtering beds at the
price stated at such points as might be
determined upon by the Council, and
this would do away with some of the
interruptions. He claimed for the sys.
tenn patent on the raised filtering beds
over which the sewage would be run and
the water collected underneath.
Mr.. Daily said that his offer vas made
not with view of speculation, and he
would for the sake of having something
done build the outfall sewer at the actual
cost of the pipe and labor. If the city
did not desire to own it's own outfall
he would build it for nothing providing
he was allowed the water. He also pro-
posed to construct filter beds, not like
those of the West system, but beds cover
ing twenty acres of ground. His system
OF filtering consisted of allowing the sew
age matter to percolate through gray
ely soil to subsoil drains which would
catch it and carry it off for irrigating pur-
poses. He proposed that the Sewer Com
mittee should inspect his plan of filtra-
ton to-day, and adjournment was taken
without final action in the matter. Sew
eral of the Committee will visit Mr..
Daly's model to-day, and it is probable
that the committee will ask for further
time on Monday next.
