DIVIDING THE sPo1Ls.
The Terms Of the English French
Agreement.

The Terms of the English French
Agreement
LONDON, Aug. lin the house of lords
to-day Salisbury stated that the English
agreement with France maintained the
rights and privileges Of missionaries in
Madagascar, and insured the freedom of
religious teaching under the modern doc-
trine of Hinterland. France claimed the
countries south of Algeria and Tunis. and
on the same principle the English Niger COM
pany could claim territories behind its
present sphere of operations. 1t was
obviously desirable to draw the
line separating the English and French
sphere of activity. The line agreed upon
gave a large part of the western share of
Lake Tchad to the Niger company, includ-
ing the empire of Sokoti. The country
northwest of Lake Tchad would be con-
sidered under French influence. The notes
exchanged by the two governments recog-
nized the fact that the agreement would not
affect the rights of the porte over the
regions south of Tripoli.

TOPEKA'S SALOONS CLOSED.

Original Package" Houses Forced to Give
up the Struggle.
TOPEKA, Aug. 1.-THE original package
houses are thing of the past. at least
there are none in Topeka. The closing be-
gan when the attorneys of several of the
most prominent dealers notified their eli
ents that it would be advisable to close
their doors. Some of the dealers expect to
be able to open up again. but others are
taking their stock from the shelves, pre-
paratory to shipping it back to Kansas
CITY. Several are caught with large stocks
on their hands, but if they are merely
agents, as they claim to be, the Missouri
men will be the losers. A number Of the
original package trafiickers admitted that,
after all, they were rather glad to get out Of
the business. They said that there was
very little money in it. They had been
continually harassed by the authorities,
and one agent said that his attorney fees
had been greater than his profits.

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Balfour in recent ad-

stones insinuation that the government
had sacrificed the rights Of Protestant resi-
dents OF Malta to secure the favor of q

and Q most barefaced attack from man

Proselyting the Redskins.

OTTAWA, Aug. 11.-Advices received by the
government from southern Alberta, North
west Territory, are to the effect that the
Mormons who came into that country from
Utah are corrupting the Indians with their
doctrine. The government has been to
great pains to impress on the Indians the
necessity of monoRamy, and refused them
supplies for more than one wife. but the
Mormons are teaching them the many 60
called advantages of multiplicity of
wives. There is every indication that the
Mormon evil in the West is liable to grow
into serious difficulty.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. 1.-[Special.]
Referring to the prospect of another bank
being established here, it is said that the
visit of the Hon. 8. T. Hauser to this city
was not only for the purpose of inspect
ing the property Of the Union Smelling
company here, in which he ID now to some
extent interested. Another object was to
look over the ground with the view Of
establishing solid banking house in this
city. which would be a connection
of the First National, Of Helena,
and it's allied banks throughout
the state. With this view, Mr.. Hauser met
here by appointment Mr.. G. E. Conrad, of
Benton, and r. s. Ford, Of Sun River val.
ley. The proposition is to remove the First
National bank Of Benton to this city and
increase its capital stock to 925O.OOO. This
seemed very desirable on the part of Messrs.
Hauser and Conrad, but it was desired, if
possible, to absorb what is known
as the John T. Murphy bank, soon
to be established. Here was the rub.
The promoters Of the enterprise are not in
clined to give it up, and it is doubtful il
the desired absorption take place. Some
skirmishinR on this line will be done the
next few days, and it will soon be known
what form the new banking enterprise will
take. It is understood that Charles E. Con-
rad, of Benton, is to be its president.

the stock Of the company would be placed

would not. The company has plenty of
capital. The orc on the dump is worth |
