tions.
MANIsHEE. Mich, Oct. 1.-Two OF
three public institutions will find them
selves very directly interested in the fail
ure of II. G.. Peters. Several years
ago IL was announced that Peters had
given $4,000 each to Oberlin college,
Oliver college and the congregation at
theological seminary at Chicago. The
Oberlin has since built large and elegant
building and christained IL "Peters hall"
II now turns out that these gifts
are only on paper, Peters hav-
ing given his notes for the sums
named. There was run on the
Manistee National bank this morning,
which was promptly met. The institu-
ton was prepared for this emergency and
is amply able TO meet the run without GO
ing ouside Of its own resources.
The excitement here has subsidized.
Peters this afternoon, in speaking of the
condition OF the various businesses in
which he is interested, said the only ones
likely to be seriously affected are Peters
q Morrison Of Menominee; Arthur Meigs
x Co., lumber and real estate, and Peters
A Dunham of Grand Rapids, and one or
two southern firms. These are likely to

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 17.-Informa-
ton has been received here OF the assign
ment of the Peters Lumber company at
Alec. The failure was caused by the fail
ure of Peters Of Manistee, Mich. The

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE treasury
department has issued circular TO GUS
tom officers on the subject of the impor-
tation of meat cattle in pursuance Of the
meat inspection act. II suspends the
designations OF the customs ports and dis
tricts named as quarantined stations by
the secretary Of agriculture. By virtue of
section 20 OF the tariff bill, IL suspends the
prohibition of the importation Of meat
cattle arriving in the United States. By
virtue of the same authority the prohibit
ton Of the importation of the hides Of
meat cattle from North, Central and
South America is suspended, meat cattle
from those countries being at present free
from contagious disease. The hides OF
meat cattle from European countries, in
which the secretary of agriculture states
contagious diseases OF different kinds are
known TO exist more or less, are pro-
hibited, unless the importer shall IN oduce
proofs clearly showing the hides were
thoroughly disinfected prior TO leaving
the foreign country and that they are free
from infection Of any kind.

HOWLlNG FOR BALFoUR.
English Tories Cheer the Cxar Of ireland
The Secretary Talks.


LONDON, Oct. IA meeting OF the
Northern Conservative union was held at
Newcastle to-day and was attended by
1900 persons. Among those present was
Balfour, chief secretary for ireland. who
was given an enthusiastic welcome. A
resolution was adopted by the union well
coming Balfour, and declaring that his
ability and untiring energy had saved the
union between Great Britain and Ireland.
Balfour, in his speech, said the condition
of Ireland was improving, her prosperity
increasing and the respect for the law
abiding, though the opposition has been
unable To disguise the satisfaction with
which they regarded anything approach
ing the failure of the action OF the gov
ernment.
In the evening Balfour was entertained
at a banquet attended by over 100 guests
and presided over by Lord Londonderry.
Balfour said he knew of no arrangements
among the Gladstonians as TO what would
be their future home rule policy; but
every eulogy they passed on the Parnell-
ties carried with il the pledge Of a future
policy which il was impossible 20 redeem
except by obstructing civilized society
i'm Ireland. Balfour went on 10
say the Parnellites never debated nything
approaching a suggestion dealing with
the real difficulties. Not content with this
negative attitude, they had, as positive
policy attested by three judges, feeling
of anarchy which would prove disastrous
10 Ireland. II, supposing Morley should
come into Office tomorrow, he had not
the same amount OF crlIar TO deal with
that H." present governo"1i had, il
would prove that the Gla' Iy.iiins were
the scene-shfters in this C.sgraceful Par.
nellite comedy.

BUTTE, Oct. 17.-Hon. William T. Field,
the candidate of the independent labor
party, was withdrawn this evening by the
party's state central committee. The
action OF the committee was at this par
ticular time quite unexpected and yet was
not at all surprise.
About a week ago Mr.. Fields with
drawal was looked for, but did not come
then. At the time several leaders of the
party assembled here and there was an
unsuccessful attempt TO have central
committee meeting. Mr.. Field then
stated that he had not with
drawn his name and did not
intend TO do so and added in manly
manner, "There is not enough Doodle to
buy me oif.r
About IL 2o'clock to-day Mr.. Field came
into this city from Helena. At the same
time five members OF the independent
labor central committee quietly drifted
in.
About 2 o'clock they went into secret
session. Mr.. Field declined 10 he present
but purposely absented himself, allowing
them 10 determine what should bc done
with him. Taking short adjournment
until after supper they then met again.
The question was solely matter of
funds. For 65 days Mr.. Field had been
in the fight and only $500 had been raised.
Ii appears that he could go no further
and the majority of the committee favored
a withdrawal of the candidates name.
AT this juncture the Silver Bow County
committee came into the meeting and
roundly upbraitled the others Of desiring
10 sell out. A very warm time was had
but the state remained firm despite the
unjust accusations of their fellow parti.

Sam Mulville of Silver Bow county op.
posed the action but agreed 10 stand with
the majority aud ultimately sign the
articles of withdrawal.
Frank Boucher OF Lewis and Clarke
took much the same ground as did Mr.
Mulville. IL is said that he has also
agreed TO sign the articles.
John Barry Of Anaconda. member of
the committee from Deer Lodge county
was IN the STANDARD office and offered
for publication the formal articles OF
withdrawal as adopted by the committee
at IL o'clock tonight. The following is a
correct copy OF the original articles.

His Grave DUG BY the Bolt

SPRINGFIELD O., July 10.-Arthur Busir-
ger, . 20-year-old farmers son, living ak
miles north of here, met with a shocking
death on Tuesday evening from a heavy
electric bolt while trying with number OF
others to get some bay in out of the rain.
Ha was standing beside hay wagon, half
loaded pitchfork in hand, when heav-
ems weapon descended. Every article
of clothing on his body was re-
duced to shr6ds except his shirt,
only small piece of which was left
around his neck. His chest was made pei
iectly raw, and large, livid, nicely formed
Cross was marked on his back. Both legs
were b!ackened and made ghasty but the
most curious part of the fatality was what
happened after he was struck. The bolt,
leaving his body, entered the ground at bis
feet and excavated as clearly as If done
with a shovel hole exactly like grave.
Tue six other men standing around were
all seriously but none fatally shocked.
