SOME MEASURES ENDORSED.
BY the National Board or Trade in Session
Mt New Orleans

BY the National Board OF Trade in Session
at New Orleans
New ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The National
Board of Trade resumed in session this
morning. The report of the committee on
uniform commercial legislation in the
United States was read and adopted. The
body then discussed resolution that the
government should take charge OF the inn
provement of navigation of the Mississippi
river and the protection of it's levees. The
advantages of improvement to commerce
in connection with the Nicaragua canal was
urged. A resolution by the Louisiana
chamber of commerce and industry for the
improvement of the Mississippi river by the
national government WAS adopted. A dis
cussion of. the Chicago board of
trades resolutions relative to the interstate
commerce act was resumed. The preamble,
declaring that the act should be amended to
make it effective, was adopted. Also a
resolutiod relative to the employment of
experts by the commission. resolution
by Anderson, of Washington, adopted
unanimously, refers to the coming Worlds
Fair. It declares that enlarged commercial
relations with the sister nations of America
are of transcendent Importance; pledges
hearty support to the national board Of the
exposition; calls upon the more than 1000
boards of trade throughout the United
States to urge upon their respective state
legislatures the necessity of early action on
state exhibits. The preamble and resolu-
tion Of the Chicago board Of trade COM
mending the National Trapsnp pftation aszp-
oiation and d'denouncinR the uniform bill OF
lading as menace to shippers' rights, ETC..
WAS adopted with sometsiight changes.

OF the Possibilities for Infamy Under tho
Force BILL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-In the senate the
election bill was taken up and Berry spoke
in opposition. As an illustration of the
bad effect of such law he referred to the
recent by United States Circuit
Judge Williams, in Arkansas, of John Mo
Clure as chief supervisor of elections. Judge
Williams had, he said, lost the confidence Of
a large portion of the people of Arkansas
on account of his imposing on them the
very worst man in all Arkansas to exercise
the high functions Of that Office. The same
thing might occur in other states, super
visors holding their Office for life. If the
circuit court judges were democrats (as
they are now for the most part rer ublicans)
the bill would not be advocated on the
other side of the chamber. It was, there
fore, partisan measure. Berry aavagely
scored Supervisor Mcclure, and entered an
earnest protest against the bill as measure
designed to legalize fraud. Daniels spoke
briefly, after which George obtained the
floor.

Parnell Starts for Ireland to Address thu
Populace.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-Parnell started for
Dublin tonight. A large crowd of Irish
men, residents of this city, assembled at
the railway station and cheered him wildly.
He spoke briefly, expressing gratitude at
the demonstration, which, he said, would
help the fight he had undertaken. They
would have no cause to regret that they
stood by him and together they would win
for Ireland what God determined she
should get. Parnell will be the guest
of the Lord Mayor. of Dublin.
There will be large proces-
sion on his arrival apd he will address
the people. He has been invited to visit
Mitchellstown and assured of an audience
of twenty Thousand there. A number Of
the. Mccarthy faction were on the same
train.
At "a meeting Of the anti-Parnell section
to-day the manifesto was discussed, but
nothing definite decided upon. telegram
was received from the delegates in America
saying they were cooperating by the meth
DDS they believe best to secure Parnell's
withdrawal and the reunion of the party.

The Montana Criminal Successfully Breaks
for Liberty.
I4ErHERIEeE, Dec. Especial. l--"Ma
Macdonald, the horse thief from Helena,
Mont, who was here in the Northwest
Mounted Police guard room awaiting ex-
tradition, has escaped. He asarrested BY
Sergt. Ross on the 10th of September,
charged with stealing horse from the Ho.-
ter Lumber company, OF Helena, and since
his incarceration extra precautions have
been taken with him, as he
was believed to be dangerous man. His
past record is bad. This is the second
charge of horse stealing. and once he was
in the state penitentiary, escaping before
his time had expired. The fellow is no
fool. He has tried all sorts OF lodges,
feigning deafness, sickness. etc., to get a
chance to make break.
The way Macdonald made his escape
would lead people to believe he had con-
spired with his guard, for lie simply walked
out of his cell, through the guard room,
and once outside, the pitch black darkness
made escape almost certain Az soon as
alarm was given patrols were sent out in all
directions, but 30 far no clue has been
found.
Sheriff Hamilton, Of Cascade county.
Montana, has been ready for the past few
days to come over to prosecute, but Judge
Michael has not been able to come here.
In the meantime, Serot. Ross has captured
the stolen horse. Last time the sheriff
was here we had the thief, but not the
horse said an officer yesterday; "now we
have the horse but haven't got the thief.''

Massacre of Christians by FanatIcal Mon
golians-Buildings Sacked.
San Francisco, Dec. 9.-Advices from
Chung King, China, state that the troubles
at Ia Chu Tsien arose from massacre of
Chinese Christians at Loong Tuhn Tsien
by members of the Loo Huy Sol society
during the celebration in honor of their
patron deity. After the celebration for
several days the brotherhood consulted
their gods as to whether it would be safe to
plunder the Christians. The reply was
affirmative, and the brotherhood raided a
number of well-to-do Christian families
and carried off lot of booty. A few days
after they made a fresh attack and mas
sacred many persons. Nineteen bodies
were counted in the streets and several were
known to be cut to pieces and thrown in the
river. The mission buildings and many
others were burned and the corpses thrown
into the flames.

SILVER LEGISLATION.
Bland not Hopeful of Any During the
Short Session.

Bland not Hopeful of Amy During the
Short Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Representative
Bland, of Missouri, does not look for any
new silver legislation during the present
session, but predicts that free and un-
limited coinage bill will be passed by the
next house with such an overwhelming ma
jority that the president dare not veto it.
In conversation to-day he declared that
the present law, which was passed at
the. last session, is unsatisfactory to the
country at large, especially to those people
who desire that silver shall be placed on a
parity with gold. Under the present law
silver is simply used as a speculative prod
uct, to be tossed up or pulled down at the
pleasure of the speculators. Many of the
western republicans who voted for the bill
originally are thoroughly disgusted at the
practical operations Of the law. In the mean
time Senator Stewart is out with bill
which. if it is not free coinage, is quite
near it. It provides that the government
shall buy all the silver in the country,
about 100000 ounces, and coin it at
once, and after that the holders of home
silver bullion may take it to the mint and
get dollars or paper money for it at rate
of parity with gold.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Special. Mot all
the forty -one republican senators who voted
to take mp the election bill are in favor of
it's passage. Their vote for consideration
was in consequence Of a written agreement
last September in the republican caucus.
Just how many are opposed to the bill is
not known now, nor is it possible to say
whether they will be able to hold. out
against the. pressure that will be brought
against them and vote against the bill.
had an interesting interview with one of
these republican senators last night. He
said: II sometimes despise myself for my
want of courage on this question. II I
wanted to put an end 20 my political career,
but at the same time make myself famous.
I could make speech which would be read
fifty years from now and regarded as one
of the great prophecies of modern times.
I should predict that in less than two de-
cades the negro race will be relegated to its
former political status, that is, that they
should be freemen without the right of suf-
frage. A quarter of a century has not brought
the race forward. Wherever you find the
black man you find him ignorant, servile,
incapable Of self government, and inapt to
learn the duties of citizenship. Imagine
5000 600 Sioux in the southern states treated
as the colored race have been treated and
what would the result have been long ago3
Why, there would have been war Of ex-
termination, and the white race would have
disappeared from the face of the land.
Although am republican do not believe
that the negro should be placed on the level
with the Anglo-Saxon. II I lived in the
south should do precisely as the southern
democrats do. At the same time, as a re-
publican also. if can consis tently, viii
vote for any legislative measure which shall
provide that the black population Of the
south, if it cannot vote, shall not be counted
in the apportionment of presidential cleo
tors or members of congress. Sooner or
later this view Of the race problem will re-
ceive adherence from other quarters and I
believe will become a party policy. don't
pretend to be much of a political Ezekiel,
and may not live to see my prophecy full
filled, but it will come inst the same.''
Senator HoAr expects TO pass the election
bill in the senate before the holiday recess.
He is evidently unaware OF any detection
existing among the republican senators at
the present time.

Mr.. Hathaway's Good Luck-Retskins arc

Butte Post Office.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-lSpecial. The
Montana pseudo senators called at the
postofice department. to-day to see what
had been done towards appointing repub-
lican postmaster at Helena. They could
only be told that Mr.. Wanamaker had taken
the papers in the case to the White House
several times and had been just as often
called down. Congressman Carter has now
united with Sanders and Power in endors-
ing j. B. Walker, and unless Prince Rus
sell luncovers his candidate promptly Walker
will be appointed.
Congressman Carter surprised everybody
to-day by springing new candidate for
the house postmastership, in the person of
ex-Internal Revenue Collector Hathaway,
and tonight the caucus put him through.
He had seventy-three ballots the first
whack.
Secretary Noble received telegram last
night from Gov. Toole giving an account Of
Snake, Shoshone, Bannock and Piute dep
relations. To-day Gen. Schofeld ordered
troops to the spot, and Indian Commission
or Morgan directed the agent at Fort Hall
to inquire into the matter and report.
The effort to move the Butte postoffice
has ceased, says the postmaster general.
The Office will stay in the Miners Union
building, which will be enlarged.
Secretary Noble will issue regulations in
a few days for adjusting the forfeited land
grants. The delay has been due to the two
methods proposed to adjust the Northern
Pacific grants at Wallula. If adjusted on
the same plan as usual, making the termi-
nus at right angles to the direction of the
road, the Wallula lot owners will have to
hunt for new titles. 1t is proposed to run
the terminal line north and south and
avoid putting the town in this psedica-
ment.

OF course.
You never see business anything

Why is it?
Because

Now, how can you tell who offers
inducements unless it IS by firm

The most successful firms in the
United States, and in fact all over
the world, are the greatest adver-
tisers. They have done good for
themselves and done good for their
customers. They have a good
thing; they know it, and are will

instead Of holding it for high profits
and letting it out in ''dribs and

We have several good things

it. Amongst them are a line of

figures atprices that make some Of
these fake selling out sales" look

goods and but little money, and

we can say we have lots of money
and but few goods.
We never brag.
A man is braggart that cannot
support his claims. We may
make claims that sound improb-
able, but when you investigate
you will find they are "absolutely
correct and will give $4,000 to
