ON Cockrell's motion, tho senate adjourned,
The house went into committee Of the
whole on the river and harbor bill. Tho
motion to strike out tho appropriation for
the Hennepin canal was defeated. The
motion to reduce the appropriation for the
Mississippi river from Cairo down from
two million to ono million was adopted.
Blanchard explained that this was due to
the. fact that the action of congress had
made urgent an appropriation of $1,000, GOO
for the improvement of the river on the
understanding that a reduction of that
amount should be made in the river and

BURIED THREE MEN.

Tho Side Wall of q Butte Building Col
lapses-Narrow Escape.
BUTTE, May M.-ISpecial. About 6
this evening the side wall Of the two
story brick building occupied by Harring-,
ton d ORourke, wholesale liquor dealers,
and standing on upper Main street, fell
upon the tailor shop below, crushing it into
the ground and burying three men in the
mountain of debris. The fire department
was at once called out and with the aid Of
citizens the three men were rescued, badly
cut and bruised but not seriously injured.
1t was most wonderful escape, as no one
of those first on the ground expected to see
any one of the three alive. When the wall
fell the proprietor of the tailor shop, w.
freedman. and one of his clerks, Antonio
Framan, were in the workshop where the
great mass of the brick were piled. Freed
mann was completely buried, but the
timber 80 arched over him, that
while he was the worst injured of all
and it took the entire force some time to
dig him out, in short time he had 60 re-
covered rs to be able to stand. Framan
was still more fortunate, as the roof and
side walls SO sheltered him that he was
nearly able to dig himself out and the same
was the case of j. H. Frank, the clerk in the
store room in front, who was covered but
would have been able to work himself out
The Harrington building stands pretty we'll
up the hill in an exposed place and it is
thought the high wind which has been blow
ing all afternoon caught the fire wall on top
and threw it down, carrying good portion
of that beneath. 1t is impossible to tell at
this time how much the tailor's stock is
damaged, but it is thought 81, 600 will cover
the loss.

Missions Among tho Baptists.

CHICAGO, May M.-The annual meeting
of the American Baptists' missionary union
continued to-day. Reports on various mis-
sions we're heard. The report Of the COM
mittee on Congo mission in Africa by Rev.
D. G. Barnes. of Newton Center, Mass. He
followed the report with some interesting
remarks recommending an advance into
the interior of Africa. A strong report on
Chinese missions was read and large rein
forcements recommended. Discussion was
provoked by resolution by Rev. r. 3.
Moxom, Of Boston, instructing the board
of managers to consider the question of
holding annual meetings apart from the
other societies. The board was finally in
structed to consider the best method of inn
proving the annual meetings 80 as to allow
more time for the discussion of missionary
questions. Philadelphia was decided on
as the place of meeting next year.

the decision of the district court of Silver
Bow county in the shrievalty case and or
dering decree in favor of John E. Lloyd,
republican, was received here this morning.
In accord with this decision Judge Nc
Hatton issued an order declaring Lloyd
duly elected, and certificate Of election
was issued to him. Sheriff Sullivan bows
to the will of the highest court in the state,
and is busily engaged in preparing to turn

next Monday. The democrats feel pretty
sore over what they term political de-
cision, but are of the opinion that it will
be for the best interests of the state and
county to submit gracefully, confident that
the reaction will right them in the end.

WASHINGTON. May a.-[special. ]-Editor
Rolfe. Of the Great Falls Tribune, has again
renewed his application for land office at
Great Falls. He has brought great deal
Of pressure to bear, but there is little hope
for anything being done in this line.
Power 10 uncompromisinRly opposed to an
office at Great Falls, but is anxious to get
ono located at Fort Benton. Hc claims
that 1t would be more central, and would
accommodate twice the number of people
that an Office at Great Falls would.

The hearing on questions involving
about 100000 worth Of real estate in
Spokane Falls was held at the interior de-
partment this morning before Assistant
Secretary Chandler. George Shields, attor-
ney general of the department, James Mo
Naught OF st. Paul, represented the North
ern Pacific railroad, B. T. Rice and L. H,
Prather presented the case OF 6picsr and
the other claimants, who want to enter the
land, and Phillips, Zachery and McKenna
represented the settlers who claim the land
under purchase from the Northern Pacific.
The case came before the department. to-
day on motion to review the department
decision OF several weeks ago which ordered
hearing to determine the status of the
land occupied by the Indian Enoch at the
date the Northern Pacific fled it's map of
definite location. All the parties to-day
we're opposed to having the case sent to
Spokane Falls for hearing. Considerable
new evidence was submitted by MIR. Nc
kenna a. TO Enoch's standing at the time
he sold his Improvement to the Northern
Pacific Among other documents submit
ted was an affidavit from Enooh, dated
May 6, 1880. in which he swears that at tho
time he abandoned the land he had not
given up his tribal relations. Another affi-
davit was submitted from Agent Sims, Of
the Colville reservation, that Enoch had
been treated since his settlement there az
an Indian of the Spokane tribe. Other ev-
idence was submitted to show that Enoch
had drawn monthly from the qovernme mt
as chief of band since his removal from
the no W valuable property. On behalf of
spicer and others it was claimed that the
fact of the Indians settlement and resi-
dence for so many years could not be con-
strued as anything else than an abandon
ment Of his tribal relations. The case vas
taken under advisement.
