CHICAGO, June ia dispatch
from st. Paul, regarding the Indian
excitement in Montana, says, Gen.
Ruger, commander of the department
of Dakota, has advices from Tongue
river, Custer and KeOgh, that the In
dlans are in an excited frame of mind
over the shortage OF subsistence, and
that alarm exists among the settlers,
but he has no information of an up
rising and does not believe in the
number of murders reported. There
are now four companies of cavalry at
Tongue river in command of Maj. Car
roll and three companies from Fort
keogh are on their way to arrive
Friday. There are nine hundred
Cheyennes and Crows on the adjoining
reservation, but the latter are peace
able. There is no doubt" said the
General, THAT the military on the
ground are easily able to cope with
the Indians in case of an
uprising, which | don't antici-
pate. The June roundup among
the cattlem en- is due and arms
sent by Governor Toole may
be for their protection. A dispatch
from Billings, Mont, says. The first
man to be Killed by the Cheyennes, is
the mayor of Tongue River Agency.
The Indians are now killing cattle by
the hundred. Yesterday forty head
more were found killed on Pumpkin
creek. Four companies of troops and
cavalry have left Fort Keogh for the
scene.

IDAHo's ADMISSION.
streets.

The Territory of Idaho will become a
State if the Senate and the President follow
the course of the Republican party in the
House of Representatives. The latter
passed the bill in favor of ldaho's state
hood yesterday without any difficulty. The
figures of the division were 129 ayes to 1 no.
1t must not be understood that the Demo
Gratis at all acquiesced in the result. On
the contrary they fought the bill persistently
in all its stages, and all but one of them re-
fused to vote when the final ballot came.
1t was owing to this feature of the
event that another question at issue between
the parties became involved. Speaker Reed
once more counted Democrats present but
who refused to vote, as constituents of a
quorum. The Democrats protested against
this ruling, and will now carry the matter
into the courts. 1t is claimed that Speaker
Reeds decisions would have been put to a
judicial test before this but for elements of
delay which hampered former opportunities.
Now it is claimed the way is clear to OBJ
tanning a speedy opinion from the highest
court upon the legality of Mr. Reeds and
his party's parliamentary rulings.
The Republican party cannot be congrat-
ulated on lending itself to the scheme to
push Idaho into statehood before her time.
1t is case of partisan Legislation that is
likely to be dangerous precedent in the
davs to come. As to the question of Mr..
Reeds rulings the decision of an impartial
court will be valuable and final.

THE DUTY ON HIDES.

The new tariff bill as reported BY the
Ways and Means Committee seems likely to
obtain unusual fame by reason of the sec
tion relatin to the importation of raw
hides. The bill proposes to put duty of Is
per cent ad valorem upon raw hides, which
are now admitted free. The country has
been told that the Republican members of
the Ways and Means Committee put the tax
on hides to please Western farmers 1t may
be that the Western farmers are delighted,
but from all appearances nobody else at all
concerned is. The leather trade all over
the country has made its objection to the
proposed duty very plain. Yesterday the
leather manufacturers of Boston united in
petition to Congress praying Tor the removal
of the offensive clause. The tanners of this
region are no less outspoken in their criti-
cisms. As will be seen in another place in
this issue of The DISPATCH, the tanners of
Allegheny county regard the duty on raw
hides as uncalled for and seriously injurious
to their business. As the ten tanneries in
Allegheny and Pittsburg turn out not less
than twelve thousand sides of leather every
week, it is clear that their proprietors have
a right to be heard on this question.
The Western farmers who are said to de-
sire this addition to the tariff schedule have
kept silence with singular unanimity
about their reasons. 1t is insinuated here
that it is the combination of dressed beef
dealers known as the Big Four that wants
foreign hides taxed, and if this is the case
the duty is not likely to be a boon to the
public. When such sound supporter
of protection as Congressman Bayne an
nounces that he intends to oppose the duty
on hides with all his might, it would seem
as if there cannot be any real necessity for
it. 1t is probable that the bill will be
amended in Difference to the outcry of the
leather manufacturers and merchants.
Certainly the consumers, or in palmer
words everyone who wears shoes, would be
benefited should hides continue to come into
this country free

THE GAP IN THEIR LOGIC.

The Senate has commenced the Montana
contest. So far each side has proven con-
clusively that the claimants from Mon tana
supported by the other side were not prop
erly elected. On this point both sides are
right; but the stress of partisanship makes
both unable to draw the logical conclusion.
Because the Democratic claimants have not
q perfect title, the Republicans jump to the
conclusion that the Republican claimants
must be seated; and the Democrats use ex-
actly the same false logic reversing the
application. The real conclusion, from the
facts in the Montana muddle, is that the
Senators of neither party should be seated.
Montana should be LETT without representa-
tion until she can elect Senators whose title
to their seats shall be unclouded. But it is
doubtful if the stress of partisanship will
permit the matter TO be decided by any other
contingency except that of party exigencies.

THAT MONTANA CASE.

Senator Gray Again Attacks the Minority
Rcport-The Chinese and the Census
Views of the Tobacco Men on the Tariff
Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 3-The Senate to-day
resumed consideration of the Montana
election cases, and Mr.. Gray concluded his
argument begun yesterday. The burden of his
argument was against the throwing out of 174
votes cast in precinct "a, Of Silver Bow county.
Mr.. George asked what would have been the
result If those 174 votes had not been thrown
out. Would the Legislature have been Demo
cratic instead of Republican, Mr.. Gray replied
that that was the fact. Only of the votes
were cast for the Republican ticket. 1t was on
frivolous. limsy, unwarthy pretense that
these IVA votes were disfranchised, and that the
Senate was asked to give seats to the two Re-
publican claimants. To vote for the resolution
OF the majority would be (he said) to violate
all the most sacred traditions of American
history and American liberty. He protested
against putting the odious mark of a bar sinis-
ter on the State of Montana thus early In her
career. 1t would never be forgotten if the
resolutions OF the majority we're adopted, that
her birth had been tainted by fraud; that, in
order to give her representation in the Senate
portion of her citizens had been denied the
equal privileges of their fellow citizens, and
their votes ruthlessly thrown aside as un-
worthy OF being counted. He trusted that no
such stain would be put upon her. The matter
then went over until Monday.

farmers and manufacturers are practically
shut off from the United States market.
When the pocket of a man is touched, his
head takes the helm, rice the heart. So we
are not surprised to hear member of the
Ontario Legislature make the following
motion: THAT in the opinion of this
House 1t is desirable that trade relations
should be closer between the United States
and Canada, and that this House do
humbly petition the Legislature of the
Dominion OF Canada to take such steps as
they may deem expedient to bring about
unrestricted reciprocity between the United
States of America and the Dominion of
Canada
The gentleman who made this motion,
Mr.. Graham, said that the policy he urged
was an absolute necessity to the farmers of
Ontario. If they were denied access to the
American mar kets ruin stared them in the
face. "The farmers are as loyal as any
other men, but they had a right to ask that
justice be done them," he added, and the
sound of sentiment swapping and common
sense asserting itself can be heard in his
words. We agree with Mr.. Graham that
unless Canada obtains unrestricted reciproc-
ity with the United States annexation will
be forced upon the former by her own citi-
zens. But in any event annexation is the
best thing can happen to Canada. As far
as the United States is concerned there is
no need for haste or an 1iety. But a good
many Canadians appear to be of the opin-
ion that delay in this direction-for political
union is but short step beyond commercial
union-is dangerous.
This incident in the Ontario Legislature.
like the meeting of Newfoundlanders the
other day, is significant OF the popular in-
clination in Canada to regard the United
States as refuge, when the short commons
of sentiment are run out

CHICAGO April 3-Joseph Rosenthal set up
a defense to the separate maintenance suit of
Leonora Rosenthal, which is likely to make him
amenable to the laws of New York If the au-
ttorities there care to press the case. MIR.
Rosenthal adopted novel and heroic measures
to get out of supporting Leonora. She sued
him for separate maintenance tor cruelty and
desertion, alleging that he married her In New
York in 1879, and left her about year ago and
came to Chicago. The matter came up before
Judge Shepard this morning on Mrs. Rosen-
that's motion for alimony. Mr.. Rosenthal cour-
ageousy came out and admitted that he was a
bigamis;. He said that when he married Leo
nora in 1873 he had another wife living and un-
divorced whom he married in Poland in 1871.
He procured divorce according to the Jewish
laws by a rabbi, and he believed this divorce
was legal and made 1t unnecessary to invoke
the civil laws of New York to get separated.
He did not discover his mistake until he con-
suited counsel, and now he was prepared 70
take the consequence OF his ignorance, even If
they carried him back 10 New York to stand
trial for bigamy. He was determined to put an
end to his Digamous and unfortunate relations.
Rosenthal said that his wife, whom be had
married as the widow Rosenzweig, had former
husband, and he believed him to be alive, not
withstand1ng what purported to be his dead
body was shipped to New York and buried in
the Rosenzweig family lot. Rosenthal charges
that the body of colored man was shipped
from South America and buried in order that
the detectives might be misled and Rosenzwelg
could ever afterlive in peace IN the Southern Re-
public. All the Rosenzweigs denied this state
ment. TEey each declared the body was that
OF their father and not an impostor. They de-
clared they had seen and recognized him in his
coffin. Judge Shepard said the case possessed
some of the most remarkable features of any
case ever before him.

IN HONOR OF THE MAYOR.
An Enjoyable Banquet to Hon. William

1IcCallin Inst Evening.
Surrounded with the odor of roses, the
smoke of 25-cent cigars, and growing rosy over
Chateau Latitte OF the vintage of 1874. and
Albert Menjou's best dinner, Mayor McCallin,
with a few of his associates in office,
whiled away a few of the remaining
hours of his term of office last night.
The banquet was given in honor of
Mayor McCallim by his associates. 1t was at
the Duquesne, and was the finest dinner ever
given there. There were Is courses. with five
brands of the best wines the cellars OF the
cross of roses resting on a heavy mirror, and
all around the table was trailed smilax, and
cut roses were placed everywhere.
Around the table were seated the II men
who gave the banquet, and the Mayor made
the thirteenth man; They were e; I.

Gamble Weir and the five Police Magistrates,

During the evening c. L. Magee for the
party, presented Mayor McCallin with hand
some bronze statue on pedestal of Mexican
onyx, an elegant bronze vase and three royal
worcester ware urns. In making his address
Mr. Magee said that it was seldom a man re-
Mayor McCallin. The presents were accepted
Tor the Mayor by Controller Morrow.
One OF the neatest things about the banquet
was the menu cards. The covers were of pale
cream silk, with the fact that the banquet was
gwen in honor of Mayor McCallin printed on it
In gold. 1t also had it the seal of the city of
Pittsburg. The card itself was of pale pink
silk and hand embroidered.

THEATERS IN PLENTY.

Pittsburg is not likely to be hard up for
theaters in the future. 1t is just possible
that she may be embarrassed with the rich
ness and variety of the theatrical attractions
within her precincts. New theaters are
coming up on the street corners like crocuses
in the lawns. 1t is almost impossible to
throw stone in the lower part of the city
without hitting an old theater, a new
one or q theater site. The projected
theaters have in several cases got
out of the paper and wind stage and
are solidly lodged on real estate. Thus
it is certain that Mr.. Henderson will erect a
new theater OF the frst-class on the site of
the Jackman livery stable; and on the op-
posite side of Penn avenue, it is equally
sure that Mr.. Harry Williams will build
popular price theater in time for the season
of 1912. If it were certain that all the old
theaters are to remain and all the new
theaters are to be built the prospect for the
managers would be painfully blue. But,
supposing that Henderson's and Williams
built within the next two years, is it at all
certain that the Bijou Theater and the
Grand Opera House will be on the scene to
compete with them?
We need not 60 into the possibilities
further than this. The chances seem to be
that Pittsburg will have by the dawn of
1892 three, or possibly four, modern, ground
floor, ventilated, and to some extent fire.
proof theaters. The population and the
prosperity of Pittsburg justify considera-
Bile expansion in the supply of theatrical
entertainments and places of amusement.
THE DISPATCH welcomes the newcomers,
and with the public will still hold in CRATE
full remembrance those managers who have
shown ability and desire to conduct their
theaters in a proper way.

CONSOLIDATING COKE INTERESTS.

The consolidation of the coke business in
the Connellsville field continues Although
the details of the transaction may require
adjustment, it is essentially a settled fact
the controlling interest in the Mutual Coke
Company's plant was bought yesterday by
Mr.. Charles Donnelly, the Vice President
of the Mcclure Coke Company. The fig
ures in this deal are large, the property in
cluding one thousand acres of coal land and
two hundred coke ovens, and the price paid
being four hundred thousand dollars.
The coke market appears to be in pretty
healthy condition, although feature of the
report from Scottdale, which will be found
in another column, is that the Frick, Nc
Clure, James Cochran, Brown & Cochran,
and all the operators in that field save
Rainey, will shut down two days this week,
in order to restrict production. The men
are reported to be satisfied with the pro-
gramme of a four-dav week, if it can be re-
lied upon to maintain prices. But no great
falling off in the demand for coke need be
looked for In common with the allied in
terests centering upon Pittsburg, the coke
business is enjoying reasonable and level
prosperitY.
