Question of the Legality OF 1000
Naturalizations in Montana
Brought Up.
New York World Claims 1t Is Re-
publican Scheme to Capture
the State.
Prospects That Measures Of Retalia-
tion Against Germany Will Be
Taken at Washington.

NEW YORK, March 25.--A special to
The World from Butte, Mont, says a
movement has been begun by the lead
ers of the Republican party in Washing
ton to throw Montana into the Republi-
can column in 1892, insure the election
of Saunders to the senate, steal three
electoral votes from the Democracy, and
contest the seat of Representative-ele
Dixon. The object of the Republicans
is to disfranchise 1000 naturalized citi-
zens, all or nearly all Of whom are Dem
ocrats, because of a technical error in
the process of naturalization. This er-
ror was the swearing Of the men in the
open air instead of in the Office of the
city clerk. The case of Mrs. Langtry
will be taken as precedent, her natural
ization having been declared irregular
and void by the United States because
the oath was administered at her room
in hotel instead of in the clerks Office.
1t is the intention of the projectors of
the scheme to keep the cases pending
until after the next presidential election
SO that in the meantime the 1000 men
will be kept from voting.

extinguished. John Hayes, aged 45
years, married, and Michael Haley, 20
years old, married, were dead when

negro replied that this was free coun-
try and that he was going to Oklahoma.
With an oath, the planter drew re-

heart, killing him instantly. The planter

LONDON, March 25.--It appears that
Newfoundland is not the only British
American colony that is asserting a
claim to manage its own affairs. The
foreign Office has received from British
Honduras advices that would be alarm
ing if the colony population were more
formidable. The people there are tired
Of being governed from Great Britain,
and declare with virtual unanimity that
they shall not be imposed on, with their
consent. Unofficial members of the
governors council have resigned in a
body, and no colonist of standing can be
found to- take any of the vacant seats.
Tie colonists have sent petition to the
home government demanding an cleo
tive assembly, with control of taxation,
and the English government has refused
to grant the petition. British Guinea
is also protesting against the absolute
government by crown agency, and wants
something to say as to her own business.
