MICHAEL DAV|TT HURT.
The Irish Leader Wounded During
a Riot in the Streets OF
Waterford.
Attacked BY a Mob While on
tho Way to the CONNER
cial Club
1t Was One OF the Nj ost sanguinary Battles
In the History Of tho Fac
tinnai War.

DuELN, Dec. 3.--Michael Davitt. the
famous Irish leader, Was seriously wounded
during riot in Waterford City to-day.
Davitt and William O'Brien had gone to
!, Waterford to support tho candidature OF
Mr.. Keane. nominee of this McCarthyites
for the seat in parliament made vacant by
the death Of Richard Power. Kennels op-
ponent is Mr.. Redmond, member of tho
Parnell wing of the Irish party, Dayitt
was strongly urged by tho MCCARTHY ties to
stand for Waterford, but declined to do 10
and in consequence Of his refusal Keane
was made the nominee. 1t was to further
his election thnt Mr. Davitt went to Water
form to-day.
The riot WAS one of the most sanguinary
and vicious of any of the political rows
that have recently attended the discussions
in Irish towns Of the rival leaders. Omin-.
Gus rumors Of an impending row had been
exciting the populace for some time, and a
force of 600 police had been drafted into
the town, in hobes their presence would
secure order. The Parnellite leaders, Red
mond, Leamy and Dalton. had been in
Waterford some days. This afternoon
special trains brought hundreds OF sup
porters of the rival candidates and various
contingents armed with blackthorn shil-
lelahs, marched through the streets to the
music of brass bands. Davitt and others,
also attended by band of music, pro-
proceeded for the quarters OF the National
Commercial club. On the way mob of Par
conflicts that has characterized the prevail
ing hostilities The opposing crowds
fought at very close quarters and surged to
and fro through the streets seeming to be
utterly regardless of the presence Of
the police. Volleys of stones were
hurled through the air and black
thornes moved with vicious ceierity that
sent rsassY of the bowling rioters to hospi-
tails, the police station, and then home.
The police were entirely unable to quell
the contest. The respective bands of must
clans had their horns twisted and drums
torn into shreds. Constant skirmishss
continued until the Davitt crowd reached
the rendezvous. 45 y s
In tho midst Of the affray Davitt received
nasty cut on the forehead. from which
blood flowed freely. Tanner and others
were injured by stones. At last the police
formed Gordon and divided the opposing
mobs the Davitt crowd reached tho club
room. After his wound had been dressed
he spoke briefly from the club house
window.
OBrien made speech later on bitterly
denouncing the assault upon his friends,
and saying the crowds who injured Davitt
had struck a glorious blow for the Irish
cause. Davitt's answer to that blow was
that now he was candidate for Water
ford. O'Brien in conclusion accused the
police of using their batons more in favor
of the attacking mob than otherwise. The
police. he asserted, protected the Parnell-
ties. while the force of their blows was de-
voted to the McCarthyites. Redmond SUBJ
note of regret for what had occurred.

A QUIET WEEK In PROSPECT.
Neither Hranch of Congress Expected 10
DO Anything Before the Recess.

Neither Branch OF Congress Expected 10
DO Anything Before the Recess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--So far as actual
legislative business is concerned it is prob
able the present week in congress will be
devoid Of feature or interest. 1t has come
to be generally understood that while the
time before the holiday recess may be EN-
ployed in perfecting the organization Of
the two branches of congress, little can be
attempted with profit in the line of leQsla-
ton. Many of the senators and represent
atiyes, assuming that the recess will begin
before the end of the week, have already
made arrangements to leave Washington
in few days. Unless Unforeseen Difficult
ties are encountered the REORGANIZATION of
the committees will be completed Monday
or Tuesday, but there are no expectations
that they will undertake any important
work during the week. The introduction
OF bills and resolutions not presented in
the rush last week; speech by Senator
furpie on the subject of the election of
senator's by direct vote of the people, and
one by Senator Stewart on free silver coin
age. together with such responses as they
may elicit, will probably compose the record
of the week in the senate.
The house will not meet until Wednesday,
and after brief session will probably ad-
journ with the understanding that on the
day of reassemblage it will adjourn for the
customary Christmas recess. proposi-
tion has been broached that congress ad-
journ on Friday. the 18th, to Monday, Jan.
4. 1t is believed in the absence of commit
tee organization nothing can be accom-
plished by continuing the nominal sessions
Of the house into the following week be-
fore taking the usual recess. The speaker
has been industriously engaged in the work
preliminary to the appointment of commit
tees but the experience Of the past war
rants the belief that it will be found i'm
practicable to complete them in time for
announcement before the New Year.
The committee on rules may be an
nounced during the coming week in order
that its members may proceed to formulate
rules for the house and submit them for
consideration immediately upon the reas-
sembling after the holidays.

2IIow are you fixed?

How are you fixed?
Is your overcoat not a little
shabby? Well, at the low figures
we are now naming on a line Of
goods, just in, we are assured
you cannot pass them without q
purchase.
Do not procrastinate, for pro-
crastination is the thief Of time,
It will get you into trouble,
Therefore, put your money in
! [your purse and take a. look al
these little beauties. There are
notover hundred of them, all
told and they won't last Ion g
that is on, our shelves. They'll
last longer on your back. We
do not intend they shall adorn
our store for any legthy period
and have therefore slashed into
the profrs, until there is but
little left; $12, SIS and SIS we
have priced them at, and we say
without fear Of successful con-
tradiction, no house in Helena
will offer them for less than Sis
! for the $12, $40 for our SIS, and
$25 for the coat we offer at Sis.
Those nut browns, very pretty
and very popular. They go all
over town at $24. We have
plunged in the, knife and to-day
they go at $1S.
Dashing suits are these, showy,
attractive and cheap. The nobby
thing Of the day, and even if we
do incur the censure of compet-
itors, they viii still go at the
stated figure ($1S) as long as
the stack shows itself above the
counter top.
Have you tried any of our Gus
tom shirts? If not, you want to
do it. We are producing
The Best Shirt Made or Sold
in Montana,
and we do i at :. price that meets
any and all competition. 1t is
true chat Montana products are
not as a general thing low priced
but in order to meet competition
we must cut on the price, and we
have cut until we can truly say
we give better values for even
money, and make them ourselves.
We are also operating largely in
Nightwear; these heavy cottons
light fannels, etc. Also Under-
wear with string and knit ends
makes a very comfortable gar
ment and one that commends
itself SO strongly to the good
sense and comfort of the wearer
that, once tried, will be con
tinued.
T We would ask our Lady
Friends to bear in mind our
Christmas novelties. Are new
in store. And while in former
years we have done we'll we have
this year fairly outdone our
selves and show as handsome
line as can be found in any CITY.
We had to do it. We have the
finest store in the State, the
finest fixtures in the State, the
finest stock in the State and HAD
10 get the finest Christmas goods.
DO not fail to see them: Silk
initial handkerchiefs,
silk suspenders, smoking Jackets,
