THE EMIN RELIEF EXPEDITION

These scenes of cruelty and dis
order bring up the question whether
the expedition, on the whole, was
not a tremendous mistake. We
think that it was. What was its net
upshot? Several hundred lives were
lost, fearful sufferings were incurred
twenty-one thousand pounds were
spent-fOr what end ? To deliver
from the Mahdists one irresolute and
rather ridiculous European savant,
who did not know whether he want
ed to be delivered or not, and a few
hundred Egyptians, who, according
to the best accounts we can get,
were not worth SO much, man for
man, as the Zanzibar slaves who
lost their lives toiling through the
African jungle to save them. These
Egyptian officers and soldiers were
robbers by nature and education.
They plundered the natives of the
country where they had been plant
ed. They mutinied every other day.
They imprisoned Emin and Jephson,
and they cOnspired to put Stanley
and his men to death in order to get
their ammunition and goods. They
were as distinctly inferior to the
Mahdists who were pressing against
them from the north as they were to
the Zanzibaris who came with Stan
ley to their relief. For these despica-
BILE creatures all the horrors of the
expedition, including the rear-column
scandal, were incurred. If civiliza-
ton has gained, on the other hand,

history, it is seen that even this may

April for the Flathead country for tour OF
recreation. He took a beautiful boat mp
there to sail in the Flathead lake. since
that time he has had many adventures ana
until very recently it was supposed that he
was dead. On reaching the Flathead lake
he found that the ice had not all melted.
The Inter-Lake, printed at Demersville,
gave the first information that had been OBJ
tanned of him for mahy months. 1t said:
He launched his boat and started for the
head of the lake. employing half-breed to
assist in breaking the ice for the passage OF
the sailing craft. Captain DePuy, who had
at that time made his first trip from the
head of navigation to the foot of the lake
through slush ice. offered to take his craft
in tow. but he said "he could get through
all right" and 80 far as We can learn this
was the last ever seen of him by any white
man. His sailboat is still anchored or tied
up back of the islands in Flathead lake.

papers, outof the lake. Two or three parties
have been sent from Helena to investigate
matters, but as yet are IN the dark. IL
is said by those who camped with him at
the foot of the lake. the first night that he
was taken very sick and his attendants
thought he would die before morning. bns
he recovered and started on his journey to
the head of the lake, but never reached his
point. It is thought by some that
he has been murdered and his body sunk in
the deep waters of the lake. Il is said that

Nothing had been heard of Mcleod for

Connolly thought 1t about time the CITY be-
gan to hold these corporations down to
city down. As a compromise, Alderman
Richards was willing to extend the fran
chise to January l. Alderman Garrett also
favored this, in view of the fact that Major
Palm2r has been unable to have his orders
for material filled. A resolution granting
an extension was introduced by Alderman
Garrett, and adopted. Major Palmer assur-
ing the council that he would have the road
completed to Montana avenue and cars in
operation.
The junior alderman from the First ward
had, during the long session, Intellectually
in hand. presented a statement that rep
resentative of railway company had stated
that it was impossible for the company
to place bonds. under the reading of the
franchise granted to the Helena Electric
company. This requires that any company,
for the consideration of the payment Of
half the cost of construction, may use the
track of that company and derive half the
profits. As an illustration it was stated
that the Wallace g. Thornbureh company
might use certain portion of the Broad
water track. An amendment repeating that
portion of the franchise was submitted BY
Alderman Connolly, which met the second
of Thompson. The object is that If an ex-
elusive franchise is granted, it should be
such. As 1T stands it is an injustice.
Alderman Theme Thought like
wise. There vas no opposition to the prop
water now has an exclusive franchise over
his line.
The auditing committee reported the

The Foote matter was brought up by the
reading Of a deed between the city and
Geo. B. Foote. This proposition is to
change the course of Laurence street, Civ
ing Foote frontage on the proposed new
street, worth about 5000. In exchange,
Mr.. Foote gives strip Of land, now pro
about 5000, he says. Tho matter was re-
ferred at previous meeting to the acting
mayor and city clerk, who were favorable
to the proposition submitted.
Alderman Dunn was not in favor of tho
exchange, as he could see no equity in it.
President Steele thought every interested
party would be benefited, but of course
Mr.. Foote would derive the greatest benefit.
Smith said the school trustees
were deciding more, ground in this transact
tion than the city of Helena. Alderman
Connolly moved to defer the matter and
request all the aldermen, the school trust
ees and Mr.. Foote to investigate and look
at the ground.
Alderman Connolly introduced resolu-
ton for the appointment of committee to
encourage the bringing of outside capital to
Helena for the establishment of manufac-
turing industries. This committee is to in
vestigate and report upon some feasible
means for reaching this end. Aldermen
Connolly. Thompson and Gallagher were
appointed.
4 proposition of O'Connor & Brooke to
sell the city ground higher up in Squaw
