Ebr;cb,s yiolins.

On Wednesday evening friends of Ernst
Enrich, the dead yiolinist, made another
search for the two Stradivarius violins
which were known to have been in his
possession, but which were believed to
have been stolen. After careful search,
the instruments we're finally found in an
old trunk. A member of the Quintette
Club who was present tested them, and
said he would give 81 eco for them. The
bid was not accepted, however, as it is the
intention of the Public Administrator to
sell the instruments publicly, and due
notice will be given of the sale.

Senator Dixon OF Rhode Island has
very acute memory. without any
effort he can invOluntarily fix m his
mind names, dates and figures. lie is
a new senator aud so far has not
taken any active part in the proceed
ings, although very attentive OBJ
server. The other day he gave an ex-
hibition OF his peculiar faculty for re-
Numbering names by rapidly reciting
the whole list OF senator's in their al
phabetical order. The surprise Of his
hearers was genuine, but he added to
it by reciting as rapidly as before the
whole list. beginning at the bottom
and going through without a skip to
the top. During the pending debate
on the tariff there have been good
many of yea and nay votes. There
are a great number OF the senator's
paired with absentees. Among the
number is Senator Dixon, who is paired
with Senator Daniel, with the under
standing that he can vote to make a
quorum. Yesterday there was very
close vote, and beforeit was announced
Senator Dixon made the announce
ment OF his pair. His colleague, Sen
a.or Aldrich, urged him to transfer his
pair so that thel would he a quorum

was % to l6, and that there was no
necessity for him to vote. About two
minutes afterward the clerk had fin
ished his computation and the vote
WAS announced IN the exact figures
that Mr.. Dixon had given, although
he had kept no tally.-Washlngto on

Sanders and Power Speak in Behalf sf Hsa.
tana's Interests.

Special to Helena Journal: In the
senate to-day during consideration OF
the conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill Senator San
ders took occasion to pay his respects
to the cOnferees on the part OF the
senate, whom he said had sacrificed
the interests of the people of his state
to the Unsuitable NAV of the house.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with
the result OF the conference and said
that the only redeeming feature OF the
work was that "a settler could get 800
acres Of land and no more. Hewanted
the law Of lSSS withdrawing from
entry arid lands absolutely repealed
without any respect to the reservation
OF reservoir sites. He said that he
would he willing to consent that sites
whereOn water was to stand should be
segregated, but he objected to the
withdrawal OF 1862 square miles OF
his state, which had been Withdrawn
for reservoir sites under the Powell
survey. lie did not believe 10 per
cent OF this amount was necessary to
the interest of reservoir irrigation.
The report agreed to in conference was
finally adopted, however, there being
but three votes against it, those OF
Mitchell, DOlph and Sanders. Later
IN the day Sanders made q strong
speech for the lead producing inter-
ests OF his state, which were attacked
almost viciously by senator Plumb,
OF Kansas. Senator Power also
spoke on the irrigation feature Of the
sundry civil bill. lie said that he was
familiar with the topography OF north.
ern Montana, where so much land
WAS segregated for reservoir sites, and
declared that the provisions OF the
conference report did great injustice
to the people who honestly wanted to
settle upon the public domain in his
state. lie thought that thirty square
miles would he sufficient for reservoir
sites, whereas 1852 square miles, by
the conference agreement, were to he
segregated and set aside. lie criticised
the work OF Major Powell, director Oi
the geological survey. The speeches Oi
the two senators from Montana at.
tracted considerable attention, and il
it mad been possible to wedge way
into the conference agreement, their
analysis would have been sufficient to
have brought about reversal OF the
decision of the conference.
