men were seen running, but the danger was
so pressing that they could not be followeds

When the men got out the fire hose they found
a big knot tied in the middle to make it
aseless. The fire was confined to the stable,
the loss on which is $1,000.

Big Money Asked for Their I'M
DrOVement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga delegation
composed of George FL. Ely. of CIeye-
land; Il. w. Seymour, Sault Ste. Marie.
and G. Ii. Graves, of Duluth, appeared
before the house committee on rivers
and harbors to-day in advocacy of the
Stephenson bill, making appropriations
for improving the st. Mary's river and
Hay lake channel, Michigan. The dele
CATION eXpatiated upon the Importance
of the improvements and their bearing
upon the commerce of the great lakes.
They demonstrated against the continu-
alton of the old policy of making in
sufficient appropriations for the prose-
cution of these great Improvements,
and requested the committee to grant
the full amount of the engineers esti-
mates, as follows: Hay lake channel,
Sl,6S4. lis; st. Mary's river at the falls,
So, 73S. S64. The indications are that the
committee will report to the house
river and harbor bill carrying a total
appropriation of about S23,000,0OO, to
remedy in part the failure of the bill in
the last congress. Such an appropria-
ton would be very little larger than
that made by the last act, that of 1888.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29--United
States Senators Clark and Maginnis, of
Montana, were asked to-day what they
thought of the action of the supreme
court of Montana. Their reply was in
substance as follows: sit will not af-
feet our position before the senate.
From what senators say we shall have
fair bearing, there being a general i'm
preston that the Wisest plan will be to
thoroughly investigate the whole mat
ter of the Silver Bow county election.
The proceedings before the supreme
court were farce. The action was
brought by Republicans through Re-
publican lawyers to compel the Repub-
llcan state treasurer to pay salaries.
All the judges before whom the case
was argued were Republicans, the
Republican state auditor being
defended by the Republican at
torney general. All connected
with it were mere partisan tools
OF Col. w. T. Sanders. He STAYED in
Helena to see that the case went his
way. The statement in the dispatches
that this legalized the Republican house
of representatives are absolutely incor-
rect. The supreme court of the state
cannot decide upon the election or quail
ticatiOn of members of the legislature.
Hence the action amounts to nothing
and will not affect the United States
senate in deciding our case. All we
ask is an investigation of the Silver Bow
county election. If justice is done we
shall certainly be seated. and the senate
is DISPOSED to do iuStice''

MosHIER BREAKS RECORD.
Fast Time Made at the Skating
Contest

NEWBURGH, n. Y. Jan. 29.-Three of
the four races of the National Amateur
Skating association were decided to-day
at Washington lake. The ice was in
fairly good condition at the start, with a
little snow here and there. The wind
blew from the west about ten miles an
hour. About 1900 persons witnessed
the races. The start was delayed by
the late arrival of several of the con-
festants. As it was, three or four ar
rived after the first two events
were ended. The first race skated
was the 440-yards straightaway with
the wind. The following participated:
Frank P. Carroll, Joe and Jim Don.
Oghue, the Lappe brothers, Louis Lee
wien, Howard P. Moshier and Elmer
Simpson. Jim Donoghue took the lead
at the start. Simpson was among the
last to get away. Moshier finished first
IN 30 Is sec, breaking all previous rec
ords. (The best previous record was
4S$4 sec, made by Tim Donoghue in
1855. Joe DonOghue second. and Jim
Donoghue third. closely followed by
Simpson. The second race was the five
miles event. The ice was fast becoming
soft. The starters in this event were
the same as in the previous race, with
FRANK u. DeVlHG duueu. Az Tile START
Simpson led, with the others strung out
in single file. Joe Donoghue bringing
up the rear. On the second lap Joe
DoDoghue shot out, and leaving man
after man behind he won in II min
