SANDERS AND POWER.
They Will Re Given the
Montana Seats.
BOTH THE REPORTS SUBMITTED
The History OF the Frauds in Sll.
Yer Bow Reviewed by the
Majority Report.

WAsHiSGr1S, March 2i-The report
OF the majority OF the senate COMMITTEES
on privileges aud elections, upon the
Montana election case, was submitted TO-
day by Senator liOar.
The majority rcport gives at the outset
tho circumstances surrounding the cleo
tion OF Sanders aud Power by the repub.
licau legislature, aud Magnnis and
Clark by the democratic Legislature.
Tho report saws that the case turns
upon tho question as to which Of the
two sets OF representatives were entitled
10 seats from silver How county. The
committee finds that the republicans
from Silver low presented credentials
from the state canyassing board, while
the democrat presented theirs from the
clerk of Silver Bow county.
After reviewing tho unteGedent leglsla.
ton upon the subject of the election IN
cluding the enabling net of congress, or
dinnncos passed by the constitutional
convention and the provisions OF the old
territorial laws, the majority conclude
that the territorial law, providing that
tue county clerk shall issue certificates
OF election OF representatives Of tic legis-
lnturc, was superseded 10y tho lordirance
of the constitutional convention, which
imposed that duty upon the state board
of oanvasscrs, and hold that republicans
were the ones who bore the lawful eIe-
dentials.
The whole inquiry turns upon tho
honesty and fairness of the ele,tion
at Precinct Si, silver Bow county. ana
tho majority think that tho election
held az precinct 20 was, ia fact, irrogu'
laT, Illegal and fraudulent, and that ihls
appears from the records and from tue
undisputed incts furnished by Maginns
/ and CLARK. The whole history shows
the majority say, that tho proceedings

hctitlous, pretended and wiihou'

These conclusions were drawn by 'he
committee from the fact that the votes
there were all east in Alphabetical oruef,
whlrh uomOnstrAtud the onosidcdncss

The majority further say that the can.

The majority, In conclusion, also de-
cine TO entertain tho proposition that

That there IN no authority in congress to

THE WOOL TARIFF,
An Ohio Wool Mau Desires the Tax In
creased.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 11.-President
Harpston Of the Ohio Wool Growers as
sociation has issued a lengthy address to
the wool growers OF the state and nation,
in which he says there has been no time
IN thirty years when the farmers suffered
so much from low prices of farm products
rs now. He explains the cause of this
condition and says:
The object of this address is to ask the
farmers OF the country to appeal to the
president to put speedy end to the
monstrous frauds now being perpetrated
In importing wool, and to appeal to our
members OF c n RI IS to aid in the same
work, and speedily Iass Il wool tariff law
that will give wool manufacturers and
wool growers the exclusive privilege of
supplying all wColen goods and all wool
required for use in the United States.
"CoI siderable space is devoted to al
legged frauds in the importation of wool
and he says: ''lf these frauds and this
low rate of duty continues, imports will
largely increase. The imports were 90,-
OU0, 900 pounds last year, mostly scored,
which were equivalent at least, to 16O,-
O0O,00 pounds unwashed, or equal to
one-fourth of all the wool consumed in the
United States, This is practi ally free
wool, and Unless the duty is increased,
these imports will be largely increased
and destroy our American wool industry"
Harpston concluded as follows: "This
address is deemed proper i'll view of the
fact, not generally known, of the persist
ent efforts being made to secure Just a. d
ample protection for the manufacturers
but to DENY the same measure of protec-
ton for farmers"

WASHINGTON D. c., March l1.-Senator
Dolph's committee yesterday resumed
the interr CATION of each of the members
of the senate respecting their connection
with "leaks" in the past and then report.
Their discoveries may precipitate an
other discussion similar to that of last
week.
60 much time was taken up with that
discussion that the Blair educational bill
was not disposed OF and 1t still heads the
calendar as unfinished business. A geIl-
eral feeling exists in favor of closing the
debate this week and taking vote on the
bill if possible.
A report of the committee on privileges
and elections on the Montana case will
likely be made this week, but the debate
that most ensue will not begin until the
Blair bill is out of the way.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will be reported from the committee on
appropriations this week.
In the morning hour the Oklahoms
town site bill may he considered and fur
ther progress made in the execution of the
order to dispose Of public building bills or
the calendar.
Work in the house this week will prob
ably be devoted principally to adding new
stars to the national flag. The Oklahoma
bill will he taken up Tuesday and passec
upon finally, as far as the house is con
cerned. Then, according to notice already
given, the territories committee will pre-
sent for consideration the bill to admi
Wyoming, and this will be followed b!
the Idaho bill, if any time remains.

San Luis Valley Suit.

DENVER, March 12.-The masters re-
port on the celebrated case of T. G. Henry
against the Travellers insurance company,
of Hartford, was filed yesterday. The re-
port finds a cash balance due Henry OF
$92 ,5l0.l0, and that there should be
returned to him collaterals aggregating
over a million dollars, and orders the
cancellation of all Of Henry's obliga-
tions.
The master finds that these obligations
have been paid to the Travellers insurance
company by the reception of bonds Of
various irrigating companies Of Colorado
with which Henry has been connected.
All claims made by the Travelers'insurance
company for misappropriation of money
by Henry in Kansas and Colorado are
rejected by the master.
The legal status of more than half of
the large irrigating canals of Colorado is
decided.
An action was begun by Mr.. Henry to.
day in the United States circuit court
against the Travellers company for 81 o.
600 damages for illegal seizure of prop
erty. More suits for damages will fol

The Regular Army, Oh!

WASHINGTON. March l2.--The war de-
partment has just completed program
tor transferring troops, to be made early
in the coming summer. Certain regi-
ments have been for many years stationed
at undesirable posts where their work has
been very arduous, while other regiments
for an equally long time have been sta
toned at the more desirable posts in the
neighbornood of great cities, where their
hardest work has been dress parade and
guard mount. Owing to the limited ap-
preparation available but one transfer can
be made in each arm of the service. The
ith cavalry, which did some of the hard
est work in the Apache campaigns and
which is at present, with the exception OF
troop B, stationed at the various forts in
The Apache country in Arizona, will be
sent to relieve the I'd cavalry, now in
California, Washington and Idaho. The
I'd cavalry will go down to Arizona Troop
b, of the 4th, now at Fort Myer, Va, just
across the Potomac from Washington,
will not be disturbed.
The lst artillery, which has been Oil
the Pacific coast ever since the war, will
be brought east, exchanging with the 5th
artillery, now on duty in the forts about
New York. The 10Th infantry, now in
Texas, will he sent north, exchanging
with the I'D, now stationed in the cities
Oh the great lakes.
Birmingham, England, March l2.-The
dynamite gun and torpedo thrower in
course OF construction here by Lieut..
Grayden, late of the United States navy,
are attracting considerable attention. The
gun is Is inch caliber and i expected to
be capable Of throwing COG pc >lds Of dyna-
mite distance of three 1files!!
public demonstration will be made
early in May under the auspices OF the
English government.
Washington, March l2.-The president
is preparing to surprise the office seekers
again by sending in the name of Lieut.
Col. William Smith for paymaster general
of the army. 1t is said that he was the
only officer in the pay corps above the
rank of major, who had not applied for
the position. Instead of being an appli
cant he WAS understood to be exerting his
utmost influence IN behalf of his brother,
the senior colonel, whose chances, owing
to rank and influence, were regarded as
especially good.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-In the senate
the house amendment to the senate con-
current resolutions, instructing the senate
and house committee on immigration to
investigate the workings of the various
laws on immigration, was taken up. 1t
adds to the scope of inquiry on the sub.
ject of the purchase of American indus.
tries by foreign capital. After some dis.
cussion the matter went over without &C.
ton.
Among the petitions presented and re-
ferred was one from Florida asking that
duty Of 81 per box be put on foreign
oranges.
Mitchell introduced q joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the constitu'
ton providing for the election Of senators
by direct vote of the people.

POSTOFFICE BUILDINGS.

The bill reported from the senate COM
mttee on public buildings and grounds,
providing for the erection of public build
ings for postoflices in towns and cities
where the postottice receipts for the three
years preceding have exceeded $4,000
annually, is the bill introduced on the
first working day Of the session by Sen
ator Ves'.
1t provides for an appropriation $780,
000,O00, which is by many thought
sufficient to prevent the favorable con
sderation OF the measure in the house OF
representatives. 1t authorizes the ap-
pointment by the president cf an architect
or superintendent of construction at a
salary OF $4,000 per year, one skilled
craftsman at $1,000 per year, and two
competent assistants at 81 500 per year.
The postmaster general is 10 have control
OF these officials. The maximum limit
of cost OF each of the proposed buildings is
to be S25. 900,

THE TARIFF MEASURE.

The tariff bill was not reported yester-
day, as had been expected by the ways
and means committee, nor will it proba-
bly, ior at least two weeks more. The bill
itself has been completed, but it needs re-
vision. In its present form several Repub-
licans on the committee do not approve
of it and it will have to be amended to
meet their views. The chief difficulty is
as to sugar, and the trouble comes from
the refners, quite as much as from the
producers and consumers. Mr.. Mckinley,
who has charge OF the measure, talks free
ly about it, althou.h he will not enter in
to any of its details. He is confident that
it will come up to public expectation and
that while it will reduce the revenues, as
it was intended it should do, it will be
lust to all parties.
