SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
A MAINE CONGRESSMAN INTER-
VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.

He Says That Blaine Will Be Candidate
fRepublicans So Desire-Rumor Cur
rent that General Hawley Has Been
Offered the War secretaryship.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Sunday
Gazette prints an Interview with what
it terms "a prominent Maine politician"
who Is known to be congressman from
that state, and says he is authority for
the statement that Secretary Blaine has
consented to be a candidate for the
presidency should he be the unquestioned
choice of the Republican convention.
The Maine man is quoted as follows:
81 attended conference held at Port
land, Me-, at which were present Sena-
tors Hale and Frye and Joe Manley, at
which the subject of Mr.. Blaine's candi-
dacy was discussed. Mr.. Manley an
nounced that he was authorized to say
for Blaine that he would accept the
nomination if it was rendered him with
unanimity. 1t was then and there
agreed that Maine should send a Blaine
delegation to the convention, and these
results were communicated to a number
Of Mr.. Blaine's friends in other states.
"Mr. Blaine will be nominated. Mark
my prediction; not even President Har-
rison, with all the power of officeholders
at his back, could wrest the nomination
from him, were he so disposed. There
will be but one name before the con-
vention-the magical name of Blaine
and he will be elected, too, whether the
Democrats run against him his former
competitor, Grover Cleveland, or an en-.
tirely new man."

Three Montana Cattle Thieves Lynched

UvALDE. Tex, Sept. 6.-The train rob-
bers who were thought to have escaped
across the Rio Grande with sum, said
to be $4,000, which they secured from
the express car on the Southern Pacific,
were met Friday by body of rangers
who had been in pursuit, and a battle
took place From reports received thir-
teen of the robbers and two rangers
were killed and several of both sides
were wounded. The rangers followed
what was thought to be the course pur-
sued by the robbers, through mountain
passes, and although they had at several
times lost the trail they pulled up on the
robbers. Thursday they discover cd UNI
mistakable signs that the men were but
a few miles ahead of them and were
headed toward Las Vegas. The pursuers
pulled up on the bandits strongly and
made better time, for after pushing on
portion of the night they were re-
warded by falling in with the outlaws.
The engagement was short, as the ban
dts We're outnumbered. They held the
best position, however, and stood their
ground until their dead and wounded
was so great that resistance was impos-
Eible, and then the remainder fled. It is
said that two men escaped.

CARRIERS ANNUAL.
The Land Commissioner Will Recon-

The Land Commissioner Will Recon-
mend Some Modification of Laws.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Commissioner
Carter's coming report will contain an
important recommendation relative to
timber lands. The commissioner has
found that the federal laws relative to
timber lands did not work well in all
sections Of the country. What may be
all right for one section Is no good for
another, and he thinks that it will be
q good thing for congress to confer upon
state legislatures the power to regulate
the disposition and keeping of timber
lands, subject, of course, to federal con-
troll and approval. He believes that it
would b good thing to localize the
laws 10 that extent. There is constant
conflict regarding timber lands, and az
they are SO far away from the seat Of
government it is almost impossible to get
at real facts. While each state, through
its representatives, would be able
to give the matter intelligent considera-
ton, it is doubtful if congress would be
willing to release its grip upon public
timber lands, but the commissioners
suggestion is worth consideration.

CATTLE THIEVES LYNCHED.

Eastern Montana Cattlemen Take the
Law in Their Own Hands.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. 4.-There have
been many complaints from Eastern
Montana lately, by cattle men, of the
stealing of stock by thieves. The in
spectors are now busy at shipping points,
SO the ''rustlers," as the thieves are
called, have good chance to ply their
trade. Down in Custer county, about
eighty miles from railroad, cattlemen
have taken the matter in their own
hands. Jack Moore, who came in from
that section, says that just before he left
home cowboy came to his ranch with
the news that Jerry Thompson, motor
ious rustler, and two companions, had
been caught changing the brands on
cattle and were all hanged to the same
tree. This is the first lynching of cat
tie thieves in Montana for a number Of
