Text of IL Circular That Ra -sed Smile In
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. A.-[Special.l The fol-
lowing circular has been received by certain
newspapers in this city and is the source OF
considerable comment by newspaper men,
the tenor Of which may ts easily sur
missed.
HELENA, Mont. Jan. |, lS9l.-To the
Managing Editor-Dear Sir: On account
of tho wild stories and garbled informa-
tion sent from Helena during last
years Legislative squabble here, the
Journal has decided to establish system
of specials to republican papers to supply
the news of the legislative contest this win
ter, and general press dispatches from this
point. These dispatches will be known as
Helena journal specials and will be sent
under the authority of this paper, which
will guarantee the facts and SEQ that the
matter is sent in professional form.
No individual connected with this paper
will send dispatches from this Office after
this system is inauRurated, and II you
desire this service We shall be glad to sup
ply it to you at your regular rates for
special matter, and to receive all your
ORDERS i'll relation to news matter which you
wish covered i'll this section. We believe
this system will be more satisfactory to tho
republican press and newspapers in general
than to get this matter from irresponsible
individuals, who not only frequently shift
their base but also their points of view.
The news will be treated with absolute
fairness and without partisanship. Our
chief intention il to establish source of
authentic information in this region.
Hoping to receive your orders. We remain.
very truly yours.

Prohibition IL the Policy.

TOPEKA. Jan. 14.--Thia afternoon the leg
islature listened to the governors message,
which would fill nearly ten newspaper COL
umns. In his message he refers to the fact
TINT the municipal indebtedness OF the
state is now about $37,0O0,00O. Notwith-
standing warnings contained in every ex-
ecutive message for the past six years, he
says. this form of indebtedness continues
to grow and is worthy of serious legislative
consideration. Speaking Of temperance leg
islation, he says it is generally being en-
forced throughout the state. nnd despite
desperate assaults on prohibition it still
stands firmly entrenched as the policy OF
the state.

CAPITAL Notes,

The postmaster general, after investiga-
tion by postoffice inspectors of the troubles
at Catherine, Ala. has abolished the post
office at that place.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the army appropriation bill. At
ter some further debate the house rose and
the army bill was passed. The house then
went into committee of the whole on the
District of Columbia bill, but little was
done. The committee rose and the house
adjourned.
In the house to-day Mansur, of Missouri,
introduced for reference a bill to throw
open the Cherokee strip. Mansur said the
Cherokee commission were hopeless of
coming to an agreement with the Chero-
KEGS and therefore this measure was intro
duced. It had the practical endorsement
and sanction of the administration. The
bill WAS framed on the propositions COLI
tanned in the act creating the commission,
which was authorized to offer Sl.25 an acre
for the land.

Incited by Malcontents.

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-The Freemans
journal today received letter from Father
Crafts at Pine Ridge saying that he is con-
siderably better, and asking that the press
contradict the reports that the army was to
blame for the tragedy at Wounded Knee.
These reports, he says, do grave injustice
to our soldiers, and are instigated by those
adverse to an honorable settlement of the
present trouble and hostile to the de-
sire of every true friend of the Indian, that
they be permanently transferred from the
Indian bureau to the war department. II is
only by such transfer that the Indians can
expect just treatment. He says the trouble
at Wounded Knee originated through in :
terssted whites, who had gone about and in
dustriously misrepresented the army and
its intentions. The Indians were led to be-
lieve the true aim of the soldiers was their
determination.

Awaiting tho Decision Hopefully.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The press association
has information to the effect that the Brit
ish government approves of the appeal
made to the United States supreme court.
Lord Salisbury has always contended that
the laws of the United States did not make
Behring sea mare clausum. The
cause now before the highest
court in the United States will
be argued on the international question
whether any power is entitled to claim fish
ing rights outside of the three-mile limit.
The British government hopes the supreme
court will, in its decision on tho question,
show that there never has been any exclu-
sive right given to the United States to
close Behring sea to other powers.

In q Wolf Den.

LONDON, Jan. IA telegram from Boil
ton, Lancashire, states that Bostock's me-
nagerie, now giving exhibitions there, was
crowded last evening when William Ent-
wistle, local publican, keeping the Froe-
buck inn, volunteered to enter the cage
containing pack of Siberian wolves. The
menagerie people consenting, Entwistle
walked into and around the cage with tho
woman performer. amid the cheers of the
audience, and broke a bottle of champagne.
The cheers being renewed, Entwistle and
the woman toasted each other and remain
ed in the cage until the wolves very decid-
ediy intimated that they proposed to take
hand in the game. 1t appears that Ent-
wstle's bravado was INDUCED in to win a
bet of go.
