run things to suit himself and did not pro-
nose to let the Democratic Judges have
any voice in the matter. He admitted
that he broke the box with hammer,
but said IL was with no intention of
fraud. The investigation was then laid
over until after the completion of the
canvas. In the meantime Sheehan was
locked i'm 1ail. After remaining in jail an
hour he was released on bail.
In canvaSsing the votes, after going
over the First ward, subject to revision In
certain precincts, the returns from which
were objected to, the board adjourned
until Monday morning. The result in
this ward, as canvassed, shows loss of
twenty votes by Gregier, five by Wash

INDIAN OPIUM TRADE
Unfavorable Comment to he Suppress
sion of the Traffic

sion of the Traffic
LONDON, April 1.-THE Times, referring
TO lastnight's vote on the opium question
in the commons, think the government
will do well to find an opportunity to Sct-
tie the question whether parliament is In
earnest on the opium question, or has
merely been subjected to a "spasm of
cheap ruritanism.'
The Standard hopes the secretary Of
states for India will refuse to be the me-
dium of bringing pressure to bear To
plunge India into bankruptcy because 100
out of GO Cummoucrs are foolish or weak
enough Ia endorse the demand of cOtcric
OF fusSy sentiments. The Standard fur
thcr says the suppression Of the Indian
opium traffic supply means the additional
growth Of the Chinese opium trade, ana
holds that the traffic is no more demor-
alizing than Englaud's taxing of alcohol
and narcotics.

The CokinR Qualities Of tho FaIrhaveu
Conl Settled Doyond QuestIon

Coal Settled Beyond Question
Yesterday Mr.. T.. NJ. Wilson received
from n. W. Musgravc Of Utlcy, Ohio,
superintendent Of the famous Federal
Valley Coal and Cokng company, an
analysis Of coke made from coal from the
FairhaVcu coal mine, by Rattle a. NYe,
analytical chemists Of Cleveland Ohio.
These chemists present this analysis from
coke which they made from average coal
! Of the Earhuycu mine, sent them by Mr..
Musgravc. They say:
"Thc analysis Of coke from Washing
ton coal shows as follows:
Moisture a; fixed carbon, SG.76; sui
| phur, .Sil; ash, ll.22.
we consider This coke to be Of most
/ excellent quality. chemically. and as hard

quantity Of this coal, that IL Is very yalu-

Accommodating this analysts Is letter

which the writer says;

"if tho quantity Of coal had been

This establishes beyond doubt that
the coal of the Fairhayou mine, Is rs good
cukiug coal AS there is iu the world, and
as thc quantity ut the coal Is practically
unlimited, the fact f. settled that Fair

WORD
WITH YOU
In REGARD TO
WRAPS and JACKETS for
MISSES, CHILDREN.

We have not the least hesitation in say
ing that We arc showing this season the
hnest and largest lines Of Now Wraps,
Jackets and Newmnrkets. etc., that was
ever shown in Helena, and have marked
them at prices that should, and certainly
will, soil them very rapidly, in spite of the
hard times and scarcity OF money.
Ono among the many rich Novelties we
are showing in this department., is the La
dies Long English Homespun Cloth Cnpes
with Undervest and Storm Sleeves, for cold
weather protection, High Collar. edged
with Marabout. and trimmed with Cut Jet
Nail Heads. They are pronounced very
handsome by all who have seen them. Be-
sides we are showing n great variety of La-
dies and Misses' Fur Trimmed Refer
Jackets, in beautiful styles and all the most
popular colors. They are being sold very
rapidly at the very low prices VIC have
placed on them, and We would advise an
early inspection, before the assortment of
sizes is broken. Parents and guardians
that are interested in Cloaks for Children
now at the commencement of school and
the cold season, should be particularly in
terested in our Cloak department.. We are
offering some very rare bargains in Chill
dren's Cloaks this week, and are selling
them for very much less than you can buy
them for later in the season..

SOME AUTUMN STYLES.

The Latest and Prettiest as Seen In the
Way OF Wraps and C1oaks
The changes wrought by time are mo-
where more noticeable than in wearing ap-
parel. This does not refer to the wear and
tear on the material, but to the changes in
styles. In fur wraps and coats there will
be an almost entire change in styles this
winter from those of the last season. In
ladies wraps this will be particularly no
ticeable. The styles have been almost
completely revolutioniZed, and the changes
have all been in the line of improvement.
i've. Coats. cloaks, dolmans, mantles and
other wraps of ssalskin will, in spite of the
smaller catch Of seals, be no higher this
season than last. This is due to the i'm
skins BY electricity, which great
ly reduces h cost OF preparation.
The price, however, is liable to advance
before the winter il over. In astrakan and
other furs the prices are exceedingly reason
able, considering the beautiful pieces of
work which are shown. Some of them are
in their way. Babcock u Co., the
well-known dealers in this line of goods,
carry the heaviest stock of fur wraps in this
section. This season they will be up to
their former efforts. and will show a line of
goods that will be a revelation to the ladies
of Helena. Their assortment is complete
in every particular. embracing coats, oapes,
dolmans, ~newmarkets, etc., in seal,
otter. beaver. astrakan, and every other
conceivable kind of goods.

Urged for Commissioners.

Joseph F. Tucker, for many years JON
neoted with the traffic department. of the
Illinois Central and st. Paul roads, is be-
ing recommended to President Harrison
for one of the vacancies on the interstate
commission. The Chicago Even
ing Post, commenting on the matter, says:
The great want of the commission has al
ways been to have a practical railroad man
in it's membership-one thoroughly posted
in all the technique of the business and an
expert in all matters pertaining to rates
and divisions. It is a matter of notoriety
and of a good deal of quiet amusement
that when practical railroad traffic men
go before the commission they can
in a few minutes completely confound
the members by dipping into the
details of such matter, and it has before
now happened that they have had quietly
to call some of them to their aid to unravel
the maze in which they have found them
selves. What is now wanted is the appoint
ment of a man having had a special train
ing in details of this kind, and Joseph F.
Tucker 10 just such a man. He is we'll
qualified to fill the bill in every particular,
being universally acknowledged to be the
peer of any traffic man in the country. No
man is better posted on the general railroad
to-day, and his presence as q
member of the interstate m COM
mission would be of inestimable value to
that body"

THE WORLD ON WHEELS.
Canada and the United States For
mally Connected by a
Great Tunnel.
The Great Engineering Toat Of tho
Age an Accomplished
Fact.
Joseph 4. Tucker Recommended for Ons
Of the Vacancies ON the Interstate
C0lninercs Commission.

The first official ride through the great
tunnel at Point Edward was made yester-
day, says a Port Huron, Mich, dispatch Of
last night. All trains arriving ut Port
Huron and Sarnia were fillod with distin-
guished guests. A special train, with Pres
ident Tyler, Of the Grand Trunk railway,
and other railway people, the city officials
of Sarnia n Port Huron, made the trip
through he tunnel, passing triumphal
arches on both ends. There was consider
able speechmaking on the part of tho city
officials and the railway people. Erastus
Wiman WAS one of the speakers at the ban
quet which followed. In the course of his
remarks no referred to the fact that
British capital had done SO much to-
wards developing that portion Of the United
States, but had done so little within Canada
itself. In looking for tie cause, he said:
'For selfish political ends, q barrier
has been erected athwart the con-
section of the English speaking race from
the other, and which even great tunnels
and great railway arteries pry in vain, 80
far as an increase in the intimacy Of the
relations between the two peoples are con-
oerned. No trade between the two coun-
tries will ever exist to Justify SO large an
expenditure 80 long as the policies Of both
are actuated by other motives than reci-
procity in trade. Let us hope the great
tunnel which is now i%naupurated will illus
trate the blessed advantage OF unrestricted
intercourse to such u degree that before long
the perfect reciprocity which exists be-
tween the states of the union n the
provinces of the dominion will be created
between the two nations"
In proposing a toast to the president OF
the United States, Sir Henry Tyler said:
'"The president occupies during his term of
Office a unique position amongst nations;
he presides over a country containing with
in itself the products OF all chimes. from
Alaska ice to the orange groves of Florida.
1t will be q bad time for Great Britain when
the United States, oeasing to levy protect
i've duties, completes with US more actively
in the markets of the world"
The great tunnel, a triumph OF modern
engineering, has been achieved under the
swift outlet of Lake Huron, to supersede
the ferry system of transporting the traffic
of the Grand Trunk route from the Ameri-
can to the Canadian banks. The tunnel
under the river is over q milo long and is
lined throughout with solid iron plates,
bolted together with ssQments. 1t and its
length. At the ends of the approaches are
functions with the Grand Trunk railroad
on the Canadian side, and the Chicago u
Crank Trunk railroad on the American side
of the river. The cost of tho tunnel proper
is 81. AGO. 600.
