It on November. He said: November
will be noted for great weather dis

the northwest people will imagine
that winter is coming on ferociously
and early, but after November storms
are over beautiful weather will appear.

The editors of the LIE Sueur Sentin
ell and Fairmont Sentinel have brought
suit against the editors of their news
paper contemporaries, the LIE Sueur
News and Fairmont News, for libel.
Editors should have more sense than
to abuse each other in print. The
same discretion which consigns to the
waste basket correspondence that
treats of the personal grievances of
others, should be used by newspaper
men in keeping their own personal
quarrels out of their paper. Only a
few days ago We heard an intelligent
farmer express his contempt for news
paper quarrels, as an exhibition of i'm
pertinence on the part of an editor in
intruding upon his subscribers matter
which did not interest, but only dis
gusted them.

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Tho Miles City Races Finished-The Fa-
turo AuspiCi0us

=
ture Auspicious.
Mnn Crr1. Oct. 13.-[Special. 1.-The
weather during the race meeting here has
been horrible, and to-day was no exception,
as it was cold aud the wind blew down the
stretch. The two races necessary to COM
plete the programme were called this after
noon. The free-for-all trot, purse $500,
was finished in the first heat, as five heats
had been finished on Saturday. The race
was down to Nightshade, Procrastination
and Alice, who finished in that order in
1854. Jeffries, who had been fined $25 on
Saturday, paid it before the race, but as the
driver of Procrastination withdrew his affi-
davit against him, the fine was remitted.
The last race Of the regular programme,
600 yards. sweepstakes, dwindled down to
three starters, Chico, Tiny A. and Forsyth,
who came in in that order, in :33, winning
$12k This winds up most successful
meeting. Az it was the frst meeting in,
eastern Montana it was hardly expected
that there would be many entries, but it
has transpired that fifty y-three horses from
different parts of the state were entered and
in attendance at tho meeting. All feel
highly dattered at the successful outcome
of the endeavor to establish Miles City as
horse center in the horse county of Mon
tana. The sales and races will next year be
matters of moment, as can be argued from
the interest taken in this years meeting,
though only limited time WAS allowed in
which to bring the meeting to the knowl-
edge of the people.

The Presidential Party Travels Through
Indiana and Ohio.
SIDNEY. O., Oct. 13.-The special train
bearing President Harrison and party pulled
out of indianapolis on itg return to Wash
inRton at six O'Clock this morning. The
president spent last night aboard the car,
and as he arose this morning he appeared
much refreshed from, tho days rest afforded
him yesterday at Indianapolis. All felt
that to-day was to be the trying ordeal of
the trip. This two states of Indiana and
Ohio were to be crossed. and the schedule
provided for dozen brief stops to enable
the old friends to get an opportunity to
greet the president. The speeches that
these occasions would necessitate would be
very trying and might require the utmost
physical exertiOn. An immense crowd
assembled at Anderson, Indiana. When
the city of Muncie was reached an immense
assembly congregated. The president
spoke at some length in regard to the
growth OF the country since natural gas
was discovered. One Of the greatest dem
onstrations of the day took place at Win
chester. whore several thousand people
assembled. Every building in the city was
decorated; even the telegraph poles were
adorned with the stars and stripes.
Short stops were also made at Union City,
Bellefontaine. Lorne, Marion and other
places. Warrington will be reached Tues
day morning.

QUAY MAKES ANOTHER DEAL.

An Artificial Boom to he Gotten mp in
Wool for Campaign Purposes.
BosToN, Oct. IA big deal between
Quay and Belden ON the one side, and the
woolen goods manufacturers of New Eng
land on the other, is reported to have been
made. It has for its object an advance in
the price Of wool before the November cleo
tion. The managers of the republican cam
paign have become alarmed at the failure
of the Mckinley tariff bill to bring about
that rise in the price of wool which was
promised. Reports from the northwestern
and western states are to the effect that the
sheep raising sections are up in arms
against the republican party on account Of
the failure of the predictions made while
the bill was pending, that wool would take
a big jump. It has been represented to
them that having secured all they asked for
it is their duty to come to the rescue and
do something to hold the wool people. The
scheme is to make purchases here and there
in the wool growing sections within the
next few weeks. This, with cautiously
thrown out hints to the effect that tho
demand for wool will increase. must neces-
sarily stiffen up prices to some extent. This
artificial stimulus will be attributed to the
effect of the tariff bill, and is expected to
to the advantage Of the republican
candidates for congress- After election the
pressure will be withdrawn, and wool left
to take care Of itself. The manufacturers
who are benefited by the tariff are thus ex-
pected to pay a little more toward the re-
publican campaign fund. Some Of them
objected vigorously, claiming that the pass
age of the Mckinley bill only squared the
party with the manufacturers for their con-
tributions in 1883. But their objections
have been overcome. The scheme is con-
sidered ''pretty good Morgan till after
election"

Great Increase In Membership Since the
Paris Congress.
H1iLE, Oct. 13.-In the socialist congress
to. day Herr Bebel reported that the party
had greatly increased since the socialist
congress held in Paris. The party now
owned 104 trade organs, which had COO. 600
subscribers. There was a stormy discus
sion over the rural socialist propaganda.
Herr Bernd declared that Berlin socialists
were opposed to measures favored
by the extremists. Grillenberger
denounced Werner as ''busi-
ness socialist" and said he was
prepared to prove that Werner was disloyal
to the party. Liebknecht and Basel de-
nounced anarchism and violence. Singer
justified the moderate course adopted in
demonstrations on last May day, and de-
Tended his action in voting with the lib
erals. The majority of the speakers sup
ported the party leaders against the Berlin
opposition. The attendance at to-day's
session was enormous. The general opinion
is that the opposition has been finally
routed.

NEEDLESS ALARM.

The situation not ~ Serious ~ 1t First
Indicated.
News OF the strike was received in Helena
during the morning, and kilograms from
time to time during the day were rather
alarming The frst dispatch said that
Kirkendall g. Parsons mon, working on the
Boston and Montana smelter, had been
refused their request for an advance from
1925 to $3.50 day, and had quit in body;
that they had by force compelled Parsons
men at the dam to stop work, and then
marched to the Union smelter and stopped
the engine there, and induced the workmen
to quit. The dispatch further stated that
the strikers were expected in Great Falls
during the afternoon to get iaboxess to quit
work; that the sheriff was organizing
posse to protect property and that the gov
ernor had been wired for the use Of troops
If necessary.
A second dispatch said: "Labor union
men working for Kirkendall & Parsons
have struck for $3.50 per day. All othe,
men Or same work havestruck in sympathy.
The majority of Parker's men did not want
to ctrike but were compelled to. The
strikers went to the Montana smelter and
forced strike there. They came here this
afternoon and, it ID said, will force the Ia
borers here to join them. The sheriff has
posse at the dam to protect mon and prop
erty. No serious trouble yet, but the men
have just been paid off and when they
reach here may, under the influence Of
whisky, become unmanageable."
Governor Toole received telegram from
Captain Jansen, OF the Great Falls militia.
to the same effect as the above, adding that
serious trouble was imminent, and that his
company had been requested to be in readi-
kess to help quell any riot. He wanted the
governors authority to call out the militia.
The governor replied to Capt. Jansen that
there should be no show OF military author
ity as long as the sheriff and the power OF
the county were adequate to preserve the
peace. The captain was advised to do
nothing unless expressly authorized. Cover
nor Toole received no official information
to the effect that there was any occasion TO
authorize the use of the military, and was
left to infer that Sheriff Hamilton, Of Cas-
cade county, and Mayor Dickerman, of
Great Falls, had confidence in their ability
to handle the trouble themselves. II is
made to Capt. Jansen came from some ex-
cited citizens.
The wisdom of not moving too fast in the
matter of calling out the militia was appar-
ent later ON. when it was announced BY tel
eRraph that Parsons d Kirkendall had fifty
men working on the smelter under guard,
and that Parker had about an equal mum.

anticipated, and it was believed that the
worst was past. The strikers were to 90 TO
Sand Coulee at night and try to get the men
there to quit work.

Concerning the Dynamite
Plots.
English Authorities Furnished the
Explosives and Documents
for Conviction.
An Agent Located In the New York Post
ofice-He Hampers with United
States Mail.

LONDON, Oct. l3.-Davitt continues his
revelations in the London Labor World.
he relterates the assertion that Hoare, the
British consul-peneral in New York, did in
1883 send James ~McDermott from New
York to Montreal for the purpose of getting
up dynamite agitation in that city. and
supplied him with money and means to
carry out his purpose. Davitt goes on to
say:
1--WE further charge Mr.. Hoare with hav-
ing in 1883 employed one Matt O'Brien to
enter the postoffice in New York in order
to tamper with Il tiers going through that
postofice, and that through MIR. Hoare's
influence with federal post official named
Newcombe O'Brien had charge of the keys
and stamps, which enabled him to open
what boxes he pleased in the building and
to use the date stamps of the department
forthe purpose Of the British secret service.
we can prove that O'Brien opened let
ters by the score and wrote letters to Irish.
men in New York which purported to come
from Fenians and dynamiters in California,
st. Louis and Chicago, and that he stamped
these bogus letters SO as to make the recipi-
ents believe they were communications
which came through the postofice.
1--WE say that all this was done by Mr..
Hoare's direct and explicit instructions,
and charge that this fragrant outrage upon
the law Of the state of New York and the
federal authority Of the United States was
performed by Mr.. Hoare's instructions and
by the aid Of the secret service fund of
England.
eve are prepared to prove that the be-
ginning and end of the Cork, Liverpool and
London dynamite conspiracies of 1883 was
james McDermott, and that the money ex-
pended by him for the purchase of nitro
glycerine was given to him for that purpose
from the secret service fund. Several men
are now undergoing the terrible fate OF
penal servitude, not because Of actual deeds
done, but because an agent of Dublin
Castle put dynamite and documents in their
hands, which were accepted as proof of
t cir guilt by judge and jury"
Davitt then proceeds to give letter
when McDermott. on the eve of the arrest
of batch of his victims, with comical au-
dacity wrote to O'Donovan Rosa, bewail--
ing the failure of the Cork conspiracy and
promising more success in London. The
article ridicules Rossa as conspirator. It
says;
gadocio, his desire for notoriety, have made
his Office kind Of net into which many
misguided men have found their way
through McDermott into life of penal
servitude. There is nothing more grotesque
than Rossa's pretending to be at war with
the British empire while he was actually ac-
cepting contributions from paid agents Of
the very government he was threatening to
destroy"
