The majority report on the new
tariff bill. relative to wool schedule
says: "An advance of duties has been
recommended which will afford ample
protection to the wool growers. While
the senate bill fixed the duty on third
class wool ut four cents, the committee
makes it three and One-half cents,
with IL change in the definitions and
classifications, etc, which will COM
pensate for the difference" The COM
mittee believes the country should
produce all the wool it consumes.
This can be done by the addition OF
one hundred million sheep to the
present number. The report says the
bill seeks to stop the shameless frauds
which have been practiced in the i'm
pOrtation OF woods and wooden goods.

Silver Men Lose a Point.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE house
and Senate Republican caucus com
mittees are hopelessly apart on the
silver question. After the last inef-
fectual meeting of the Joint sub-com-
mittee the house contingent reported
the full committees failure to agree.
Thereupon Walker, OF Massachusetts.
addressed the commit tee, holding that
concessions to the extreme silver men
had been made with the underst and
ing that something positive would he
achieved, but as they failed to reach
an agreement the house committee
should revert to the modified Window
bill, reported by the coinage com
mittee. This was put as motion,
which prevailed, 10 to >. The next
step will be to report to the house
Republican caucus, probably about
Monday night. Indications are that
the caucus will accept the house COM
mittee bill and that it will pass the
house. Meanwhile the Senate will
probably pass its bill and the matter
will be turned over to "a conference

THE COURT HOUSE.

so lar as the commissioners are con-
cerned the court house question is
settled. 1t is but just to the board to
state that every side OF this question
was carefully considered, and tine final
favorable action taken was with the
firm conviction that the interests OF
the people demanded suitable and
safe quarters for the transaction of
county affairs and protection OF
records.
Though some OF our citizens advise
and ask for delay until such time as a
more elaborate and costly structure
can be built, yet all agree that some
quarters are needed where our records
will he protected from fire. Such
quarters cannot be provided without
building. a protest signed by 243
citizens OF the county was presented
to the board, praying that the COM

expiration OF four or five years build

In deciding to erect an iron bridge to
span Springcreek at Lewistown, and a
combination across the Judith river
at Samples crossing, the commission
ers acted wisely and for he best inter-
ests of the county. As will be seen by
the bids given in the proceedings OF
the board, the first cost of a wooden
structure is nearly as much as iron,
while for durability and service it will
bear no comparison. The bridge at
this place will be in constant use and
if constructed of wood will have to be
replaced in from five to seven years.
An iron structure will last "a lifetime
with but triiling cost for repairs. The
combination at Samples crossing is
preferable at that point, everything
considered. The travel there, at
present, is light. When repairing be-
comes necessary, if desired the wood
work can be removed and iron substi-
tuted without other cost than the
difference i'm value of material.

Sanders and Powers Seated.

WASHINGTON, April lG.-As predicted
in these dispatches more than two
months ago, the senate, by strict
party vote, to-day seated Wilbur Fisk
Saunders and Thomas e. Power as
United States senator's from Montana.
There was no excitement, and the only
indication that there was anything
unusual going on was the very large
attendance on the south side OF the
chamber when the hour OF ) O'Clock
arrived. The Democrats evidently
came to the conclusion that no
amount oil talking would change any
Republican votes, and contented them
selves with allowing the vote to pro-
coed. During the voting Clark was IN
the Democratic reserved gallery with
two ladies, San'lers was in the Repub-
lican reserved gallery with several
ladies while Power remained in the
cloak room. Maginnis was in Phila-
delphia. When the last roll call was
being taken Sanders came down in the
cloak room also. After SANDERS and
Power were sworn they were taken in

A YOUNG MAN MISSING.
The Parents OF William +. Walter in
Great Distress at His Disappearance.

Mr.. William F. Walter, a student in the
medical department of Georgetown College, il
reported missing and his distressed parents
fear that he is no longer living. The young
man is nineteen years old and has always borne
an excellent reputation. His STEADY habits
give his parents all the more reason for be-
heving that some IL has befallen him. rs they
cannot believe tina. he would voluntarily alb
sent himself. Mr.. Rudolph Walter his father
who lives at iS7 II street southwest called at
police headquarters yesterday and requested
the assistance of the force in his efforts to find
his missing sen. The young man was well and
fayorably known TO large circle of friends
and many OF them have volunteered to assist
in the search for him.
Inc young man left his home Thursday even
ing abog: I3O O'Clock. When he LEFT he was
dressed in u dark pair of trousers a light sack
coat and light DERBY hat. He had two rings on
his fingers. one being an initial ring Before
leaving home he told his mother that he was
going out Tor awhile, and she asked him not to
remain away long. lie told her that he would
return soon. but she has not seen him since
and she is now Frustrated from grief When
last seen the young man was conversIng with a
friend At ths corner Of 9th and streets south
west.
Me-. Walter said this morning that he was un-
able to account for his sons disappearance.
The only cause he could assign for his failure
TO return home was that he had gone swimming
~ the river aud been drowned.
