Eight members OF Buttes board OF
aldermen have furnished to the Inter
Mountain a statement giving the rea.
sons why they voted in favor of the
adoption of the tiaynor fire alarm sys-
tenn. The aldermen were prompted to
this course by the fact that they believe
some of the newspaper criticism that
has been passed on their action to be
entirely without fact or reason. The
STANDARDS comment IN this ques-
ton has turned on the recognized ex-
cellence of the t;amewell system and
on the fact that the Gaynor will be
largely an experiment in Butte. 1t
will be remembered that the Gamewell
system operating in Anaconda was
criticised by the agent of the rival
company and that allof the statements
made by that Individual were promptly
disproved. Weeks afterward. the mem
bers of the council got in a wrangle
over the motives that prompted some
of the aldermen in the vote they gave.
II was a foolish quarrel and il came to
nothing. The question of interest is
to get an excellent alarm system. AS
the STANDARD has said more than
once, il is to be hoped that the tiaynor
plant will be a success, % that a ma.
jority of the aldermen are practically
committed to it.

The STANDARD is watching out to
see what Governor Hill will do with
the SaXton ballot bill which lately
passed in both houses of New lorkIs
legislature and now awaits executive
action. In his January message the
governor put himself on record against
certain features of ballot reform, I'm an
argument which did not impress the
general public by its candor or its logic.
The Saxton bill does not omit the
features to which the governor then
objected. Although the measure had a
share of democratic support i'm the
legislature, it is probable that MIR. Hill
will pronounce il unconstitutional, and
il will hardly he able to command the
two-thirds majority needed to lift il
over q veto. Governor Hill is a demo
crat, but, in or out of politics, he is not
the sort of man from whom any whole
some ballot reform movement may eN-
pect friendly consideration.

SHOT DEAD IN A SALOON.
A bad Man. Killed at Santa Cruz by a

SANTA Cruz, Dec 22-James Harris, a
wood chopper, was shot and instantly
killed this afternoon in a saloon in this
city by Robert HI. Majors, who also re-
ceived three wounds, one of which is likely
to prove fatal. A petty quarrel had ex-
listed between the men for some time.
Harris had threatened to shoot Majors.
The two parties met in the saloon today.
Harris was drunk and very noisy. quarrel
some and abusive to Majors. He had a
pistol in his coat pocket and fired at
without drawing the weapon. Major
reached for his pistol with one hand and
with the other pushed the arm of Harris
ever, Harris had tired three shots, each
taking effect upon Majors, one making a
flesh wound in the leg, one entering the
hip and one the groin.
Majors is a crack shot. and his weapon
was scarcely in his hands before he sent a
fatal shot into Harris heart.
Harris was a single man, about 30 years
of age, and had worked in the redwoods
about here since early days. He was con-
sidered bad man when drunk, and all the
by ISLANDERS agree that he was the ag-
gressor and very hitter towards Majors. Il.

of one of the earliest pioneers, who

but made his escape. Collector Beekford,
assisted by Fraser, who took part i'll the
capture near Dungeness, had been looking
for Wong Sing for several days. All the
Chinese resorts have been carefully
watched. but no trace of him found.
Wednesday night Frazer became convinced
that he was being harbored by China
man who was employed at Murwaldt's
saloon. The Chinaman had a room above
the saloon in the garrett The room Is
reached by back stairway. About 10
O'Clock last night Fraser assembled tbs
stairs and demanded admittance. The
Chinaman replied from the inside that he
could not get in. Fraser was then con-
ylnced that Wong Sing was in the room.
he went down stairs and secured an AK,
and brought man along to assist him.
They broke down the door, and with light
IN hand they started TO go in. They had
hardly gotten inside before they were
greeted by the report of revolver. In the
far corner they saw what they supposed
was Wong Sing. and made rush for him.
but, alas, it was nothing but a dummy
dressed up in the highbinder's clothes.
Meanwhile the man they were after had

and started after him. But he was
too active for them and when they reached
the sidewalk he was going up the street
like a streak of lightning. They yelled TO
stop him. and Others on the street joined
III the yelling. The street is being graded
and is covered with tracks and knee deep
III mud. In trying to cross Wong Sing fell
and turned complete summersault but
was up in a fash and sped through the
darkness. Everybody took part IN the
race but he was too fleet and escaped.
The officers returned to the room aud
arrested Murwaldt's Chinaman.. They
found on him dagger and brass billy.
He was arrested and will be sent TO Port
Townsend tomorrow. The officers look
possession of Wong sings clothes and also
his dagger, which he left behind. 1t is
about eighteen inches long, double-edged,
and most murderous looking weapon.
He has long been engaged in smuggling
Cinnamon across the boundary and has
the reputation of being very shrewd, and
rs he is thoroughly acquainted with every
trail in the country, it is not likely that he
will be captured. Collector Beckford SAYS
there We're seventeen landed at the mouth
of the Dungeness river Saturday last in
stead of thirteen and that the officers are
making every effort to capture the balance
of the gang.

BLAINE AND CLEVELAND.
Farmers Nominate the Presidential Can
didates for 1899.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 22-An elab-
orately planned canvass TO ascertain the
opinions of farmers throughout the coun-
try on certain questions has been conducted
on an extensive scale for the past three
months by the 4gricakurai Press, of Spring
field, in connection with other farming
journals West and East. Nearly 10000
cards have been received in answer. The
questions were on certain practical eco
nomic and political issues, including ideas
on the tariff and government ownership of
railroads and telegraph. The final ques-
ton was: .'Who should be the Republic
can and Democratic nominees for the pres
idency in 1s9a?n The answers have been
fully tabuiated only so far as they relate to
this last question, but enough has been
done TO show that federal aid to agricul-
ture and education and the teaching of
agricultural science in rural schools are
overwhelmingly Endorsed.
The sentiment regarding government
ownership of railroads is quite evenly di-
yided.s Many who vote against such own
ership insist on government supervision
and full control of railroads. The views
expressed as to the new tariff law, reci-
procity and proposed modification of the
national land policy are SO diverse that it
will be some days before they are CLASH
fed. In reference to the vote for presi-
Dental candidates, il is explained that the
journals interested interpreted the No
yember elections as meaning that the
farmers were weary of the old favorites
and the old measures. and demanded new
men and new issues. These journals,
therefore, advocated Secretary Rusk and
Congressman Hatch as the proper Repub-
lican and Democratic standardized for
1S92. In spite of this, however, the farm
ers expressed their preference for presden-
tiaI candidates in the following manner.
