First Report from the Census Omce-De-

~ Legislative Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, May N.-Representative
Carter has before the committee on ap-
propriations proposition to grant the
state of Montana $1,000 for expenses in
CURED in holding the constitutional con-
vention, over and above the amount ap-
propriated in the enabling act. The COM
lnittee have report from the treasury de-
partment showing that the state owes the
treasury $125, and when Carter was con-
fronted with the statement he had nothing
to do but say that he knew there was a
deficit in the account. The governor trans
mitted to the legislature the statement of
the officers of the constitutional conven-
ton, but nothing more was heard of it.
The auditor and secretary of state have
never transmitted the report to the treasury
department. Unless this is done at once
there is probability that Montana will not
be reimbursed as other new states have
been.
The officials in the interior department
who sat in the case of Spicer and others at
the recent hearing over the Spokane Falls
property, have promised decision at the
earliest possible date. 1t is pretty certain
that they will make it public within ten
days.
When the reading clerk to-day came to

stumbled over them and mispronounced
them as if they we're Russian instead of
soft-howing rhythmical Indian names.

THE CATTLE MARKET.

In the Worst Condition Ever Known--Fall-
ing OF of Shipments.
New York, May 27.-Shipments of Amer
ican cattle to Europe, alive and dead, the
last week, amounted to $4,000 head, a fall
ing off of 25 per cent from the week before.
At loss estimated at $50 head these
shipments represent a loss Of $45O,0OO to ex-
porters. The condition of the English
market has become so bad that shippers
find it less disastrous to keep the cattle here
and lose $40 head freight. The space for
which they have contracted is, in some
instances, as far ahead as September. They
have chance of utilizing this freight
space for other purposes.
Meyer Goldsmith, of this cits, one of the
heaviest exporters, sent out yesterday 5Oi
sheep in space which he expected to fill
with cattle. He said he would lose money
on the sheep, but not so much as if he ship
ped cattle. A sharp falling off in cattle ex-
ports may thus be expected, if not indeed a
total cessation. Never before has there
been such Generalization among shippers
kilograms asking relief have been pouring
in on steamship agents during the week.
One shipper offered $4,000 to cancel his
contract with one line. Shippers also fear
that parliament will pass law placing a
duty on cattle to protect English cattlemen.

Ticket to be Elected.

following ticket will be elected at tho an
nual meeting tomorrow: g. p. Hunting
ton, I. T.. Gates, Henry Hart, Edward Lau-
terback, Calvin 3. Brice, Samuel Thomas,
Oliver III. Payne and j. B. Houston. The
election of this ticket means the signal de-
feat of the Gould interests, which have
held control of the company for several
years, and it is also antagonistic to the
Northern Pacific and appears to be more in
the interest of the Manitoba and Canadian
Pacific roads. j. d. Houston, who held the
presidency in 1884. when the Gould party
obtained control, will resume that Office.
Jay Gould, George Gould, Sidney Dillon,
Russell Sage and VIM. Kemsen will retire

BOULDER, May 27.-[Special. SHERIFF
Halford arrested to-day II. Tinsley, charged
with stealing two horses from Nj. l.. Has
kins of Twin Bridges. Mr.. Tinsley is a
young man, 20 years old, and is said to be
well connected. After leaving Twin Bridges
he proceeded to Elkhorn where he sold one
OF the horses to the stage proprietor, j.
Hazeltine, and with the proceeds had good
time in that burg. The whereabouts of the
other horse is not known at the present
time. Sheriff Halford turned the prisoner
over to the constable from Twin Bridges
who was in close pursuit. Both are now on
the way to Bozeman by overland.

BUTTE, May N.--[Special. THE sad
news reached this city early this morning
of the drowning Of N. j. Dovenspeck, in
Snake river. near Jackson's hole, last Sat-
urday night. Mr.. Dovenspeck was BUTCH
er and had been in the lower country buy
ing stock. No particulars could be learned
of his death, but the supposition is that he
was fording the river with cattle and was
knocked from his horse in some way. The
body was not recovered until last night and
was then taken to Market Lake. Mr.. Dow
enspeck was one of the best known and
most highly respected of the business men
In this portion of Montana. He was about
81 years of age the last "a years of that life
having been spent in Montana. He had
been doing business in Butte for II years,
and during that time had won the conf
dence and esteem of all. The funeral will
be held in Deer Lodge under the auspices
of the Masonic order. The relatives and
friends from this place will go down in a
special train.
Conductor A. w. Waite, of the Northern
Pacific, fell dead in the yards at this city
shortly before 10 O'Clock this morning. He
has been for some time in charge of a con-
struction train on the Gallatin branch, and
was turning his engine when the fatal at
tack came. A physician was called at once
but arrived too late to render any aid.
After making an examination he concluded
that death had been caused by heart dis
ease. Mr. Waite was one of the best known
railroad men in this part of the state, hav-
ing been in the employ OF the Montana
Union before going with the Northern Pa
ciio. He was held in high regard, and his
untimely death is generally regaetted.
The members of the Patriotic Order Sons
of America in this city have virtually de-
oided to pass July 4th in Helena. A COM
mittee appointed to decide upon celebra-
tion has unanimously decided in favor Of
visiting the capital in body and celebrat-
ing with their brethren there. This vir-
tnally settles the matter and they may con-
fidently be expected. It is estimated by the
othc ers Of the order that this delegation on
that day will number fully 800 and all are
looking forward to glorious time.
