A SOLDIER AND A GUN

How They Created Wild Reports and
Nearly Killed u Messenger.
Passengers on yesterdays Great Northern
Pacific express tell that an express agent
had a very close call for his life at Assina-
boine. KuInors reached here at first that
the train was held mp and robbed by In
dians: that several people were murdered
and other blood-curdling stories. ~lnyesti-
CATION showed that these wild stories start
ed from the little incident which happened
to the express messenger. While standing
on the depot platform Mt Fort Assinaboine,
a 30 dier was showing him the workings OF
a rifle having the barrel pointed toward the
agent. The latter requested the blue coat
to point the gun in another direction which
he did and at that instant the gun was dis
charged. No damage.

BEHRING SEA DISPUTES.

In the latest development Of the dip
lomatic warfare between Salisbury and
Blaine on the subject of the Behrlng
sea controversy. there is no denying
that the secretary scores heavily over
the prime minister. Both profess their
entire Willingness to submit the deci-
sion OF the question to the verdict OF an
In impartial tribunal, but on the ques'
ton itself they cannot agree. Salisbury
maintains that the United States gov
eminent has it in mind to declare
Behring sea Il mare clausum, to refuse
to any other nation the right Of naviga-
ton in its waters. That is the question
he wants decided. Blaine insists and
insists with reason that this is an entire
misconception. II we are to have arbi-
~tration, let us have it on a comprehen-
sive and conclusive basis, and settle the
trouble once for all. The authorities at
Washington claim the right to the en-
forcement Of such power or the high
seas as may be requisite for the protec-
ton OF the valuable seal fisheries. Any
navigation that interf eres with that
right they intend to put a stop to; any
other they have no desire or purpose to
interfere with. II there is to be arbi-
t%ration, this claim on the part OF the
United States is the n grand subject
for consideration. Mr.. Blaine stands
by the unvarying practice OF a century,
first as exercised by Russia, and her
by our government as a purchaser from
Russia.
1t the English government honestly
desire Il friendly settlement of the true
in dispute, the secretary pro-
vides them with the opportunity. Mr..
Blaine's terms are fair and honorable,
and a settlement upon these lines would
be comprehensive and decisive. There
is no need Of war. War would be a fig
uratiye blunder on the part Of both
peoples. There is even no need for
much more letter writing. The present
correspondence has continued for two
years, and nothing in the way Of settle
ment has been accomplished. W. want
tribunal clothed with full power to n
vestigate the claims Of both parties and
make a final settlement. This is the
meaning of Mr.. Blaine's offer. 1t re-
mains for Great Britain to show her
willingness to act up to her professions
Of desire for peace and justice. The
American people are ready to state their
case to the court, and the Britlshers
had better make ready to follow our
good example.

Dolman and Bray for posing as obstruc-

some rights which eve legislators are
bound to respect and We recommend to
Messrs. Dolman and Bray that they get
in line with their party without being
spectacular or obstreperous. In their
present obstructive attitude they repre-
sent ne good republican and no good
citizen in Silver Bow county. They can
agree to a compromise without the sac
rifice of a principle. II they will not
agree they will have to be outvoted."
