RAY HAMILTON DEAD.
Drowned In Snake River I'm tho yellow

Robert Ray Hamilton is dead. j. O.
Green, son of President Noryin Green. of
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
found the body of the New Yorker IN
Snake river several weeks ago. lie arrived
in Helena on Saturday last, and was sur
prised to find that the news OF HamiIton's
death had not been received carrier.
Green and patty of friends came West
early in August on q hunting trip. They
started from Beaver Canyon. Idaho. to go
east on Snake river. After travelling some
distance they reached ranch, IN which
Hamilton. who came West six weeks ago,
had bought a half interest. intending TO
make il an outgoing station Tor hunting
parties and park tourists. Green ana DIS
party were told at the ranch that Hamli-
ton had been missing for four or hve
davs. He had started out with his horse
and dog for days hunt No uneasiness
had been felt when he did not return that
night. as il was supposed he had continued
his trip.
Green made up party and started on
August 18th TO look for Hamilton. They
followed Snake river for thirty miles:
When making q ford where a tree had
fallen over into the river, they found Ham
ilton's body in the water, partially con-
ceaod by branches of the fallen tree. from
the appearance OF the pOGy IL ndu eNl-
IDENTIFY been in the water several DAYS.
Hamilton's watch had stopped at . O'Clock.
In his pockets were found number of let
tiers, some of which were from his lawyers
concerning his divorce suit. in his peck
cts. beside the letters, there were number
of papers concerning the winding up OF
his affairs in the East.
Further down the stream they found
Hamilton's horse grazing with part OF a
dead antelope tied to the saddle-the dog
had eaten the other part.
Slr. Green had the body taken 10 the
ranch and then notified Hamilton's folks,
afterward continuing his journey to the
Park. After his trip 20 the PARK MT.
Green returned 10 Helena and told the
above story of Hamilton's drowning. lie
said the unfortunate man was evidently
drowned while fording the river few
miles below where the body was found.
Mr.. Green was very much surprised on
arriving in Helena 20 find the public knew
nothing about Hamilton's fate but tho
locality is remote from railways and with
out telegraphic communication.
There are some people here who agree
with Mr.. Green in his opinion that Hamil-
ton was drowned while fordlng the river,
but there are others who say the fact that
the horse was safe leads to the supposltlon
that he committed suicide.

1hE MISSISSIPPI FRANCHISE.
Powerful Opposition to an Educational or
ProDerty Qualification.

JACKSON, Mrs.. September li.-Now that
the mist of debate has cleared away from
the atmosphere of the Constitutional Con-
yeption. il NAV not be untimely to give
short review of the situation.
The perplexities that surround the sui
frare problem seem to have increased with
discussion. The debate of the past ten
DAYS has developed powerful opposltlonto
either al educational or property quallii-
cation.
The delegates Of the white counties are
uncomprOmisiuC IN their hostility TO such
restriction Of the suffrage They MAINTAIN
that large numbers of their white constitu-
ents Will be DISTINGUISHED by tho engrait-
ing of such suffrage limitations upon the
Constitution. and serious schlsm IN Demo-
cratic party ranks Is imminent # the Chris
man amendment, which embodles that
idea. is carried through.
The delegates from the black counties
contend. on the other hand. that the ques-
ton demands heroic remedies. -Four plans
Of settling the suffrage question have been
prepared. and neither one Of the four has
met with the preponderanoe of support
necessary TO an harmonious adjustment OF
the question.
The committee TO whom was intrusted
the task of formulating "A suffrage plan sub
United a plan which its chairman an
nounced did not reflect the views OF any
considerable majority OF the committee,
but represented basis compromise, which
was thought 10 be the best settlement pos
stole IN view of the divergent views that
prevailed. That report Is divided INTO
three Observation-Disclosures, franchise,
and electoral colleges.
Under the apportiOument plan the State
IL gerrymandered. giving the pTeponde-
rance of power 20 the poorer white cOUn-
ties and taking from the rlch black cOun-
.xht rh 80 4 E..h he wi - gl of
large proportion of their sovereignty.
The elecioral-collegc plan makes an cleo
toral cole of the lower mouse OF the Le-
gisature, ard it, province is 10 elect all
State officers IN accordance with the wishes
OF the people as expressed at the prlina-
rles, each county 10 have as many votes IN
the electoral college as II has representa-
tives in the House.
The franchise branch of the report limits
She right to vote 10 those who have re-
sided two years in the State, one IN tho
county, and have prepaid a poll-tax of two
dollars. IL also prescribes system of
voting modelled upon the Australian plan.
The objections 20 the report are reflected
IN the speeches of those who have opposed
81. The black counties demur to the
Hbridgment of their sovereignty.
Others insist that the proposed educa-
tioral qualification Is temporary expe-
dent aud that IN a few years the danger of
negro domination and consequent fnan-
cial ruin Of the State Will DO greater than
ever before.
The Australian ballot system is criticised
as easily eyaded and wholly inadequate TO
meet the present emergency. The report
~ also objected 20 because it makes no
provision For white supremacy IN county
government, which is considered TO be OF
weighter importance than executive or
legislative control.
