SALMON FOR THE FLATHEAD.

A Movement Under Way to Remove the
Distractions At Clark's Fork.
There have been many complaints be-
cause of the distractions in Clark's Fork
of the Columbia river, which prevents the
salmon from running up the tributaries
and into Flathead lake. Col. Sanders has
been giving the matter considerable atten-
tion, and in accordance with his sueges-
tion, Agent Peter Roman was directed to
make report. This WAS done, but before
d reconnaissance, az advised, was made.
Acting Secretary Chandler wrote rs fol-
lows:
.'As the time when the money asked for
to make the Reconnaissance mentioned has
passed. and it would be impossible to do
ANYTHING before congress- meets, and as tho
information given in Agent Romans letter
seems to be sufficient on which to base fa-
yorable action by congress, it seems that
tho better WY to dispose of this matter
would be bv reference to the fish commits
sioner, as the benefits to be derived from
the building of a fsh-wRy over the falls
and rapids mentioned would be of as much
value to the white as to tho Indian inhabit-
ants"
Indian Commissioner Morgan thereupon
referred the whole matter. including copy
of Colonel Sanders' letter. also copy of
Agent Romans report, and the original
map accompanying the letter, to United
States Fish Commissioner Marshal Melon

LIVINGSTON, Nov. Especial. George
Millard, who has been employed at James
Carroll's livery stable, to-day met with an
accident that will probably result in his
death. He was returning from the burial
Of Patrick Monahan, who WEE drowned in
the Yellowstone few days ago, and the
team he was driving became frightened and
ran away. Down Park street they went ut
rapid gait and when near Peterson's
drug store, instead Of keeping them straight
ahead, he turned the team around the cor
ner and into Main street. At the turn a
wheel gave way aud the occupants of the
carriage three women, besides Millard,
were thrown to the ground. Millafd struck
on his head, and they were all dragged
some distance until the vehicle struck
brick pile and became detached from the
horses. All escaped with but slight in
juries except Millard, who WAS carried un-
conscious into Peterson's drug store, and
afterwards to the Office of Drs. Alton g.
Campbell, where an examination was made.
The doctors express but little hope Of his
recovery. but say he may live in an uncon-
scious state for several days. The other
occupants of the carriage were relatives of
the deceased Monahan, whose funeral they
had attended.

Ellis Norwegian, better known as
"squaw Bill" at 7:15 this evening shot
himself in the mouth with 38- -caliber
bull dog pistol, the ball coming out behind
tho ear. He had been rooming over the
Blue Front saloon and before going up
stairs had given the bartender ~. telling
him he could have it, and asked him to
give his regards to a friend whose name the
barkeeper did not understand. When
asked if he WAS going away. he said he
might He then went up stairs and soon
after groans were heard. No attention
was paid to them for short time, hut az
they continued, the barkeeper went up and
found Ellis on the bed, which was covered
with blood, and the pistol lying on the
floor in pool of blood. The man was
conscious. but could not talk. His tongue
was torn to pieces. IIe had evidently
placed the pistol muzzle in his mouth. He
has been here two weeks and came from
the railroad in the Fiathead. Ho will
probably not live till morning.

SAYS He Was swin,ileh.

OMAHA, Nov. 2i.--Brockman, the St.
Louis commission man, now asserts that
Brown Bros. the broken Lincoln grain
dealers, swindled him cut of $4,000. 1t
seams Incredible, but he says it was all
done within the period Of two or three
weeks The magnitudeo of the business may
be inferred from the fact that there were
eighty three cars Of grain on the track at
Conucil Bluffs one day recently. 1t is
charged that the swindling was done by
means Of manipulation of bills of lading,
drafts, changing Of shipment, etc. The
Browns however, deny the allegations of
fraud and assert that the tanele will be
Strengthened out il they are given chance.
They threaten to sue Brockman for $50,OM
damages.

In Dangsr Of DIslntegratisn--A New

Rio DE JANErno. Nov. 24.--Piexotto ia
forming government The inhabitants of
this city whose sympathiss have besn with
tho congressional party have at last thrown
Of all Ruise Of adherence to the existing
government and have openly declared their
determined opposition TO the dictatorship
Of Gen. Da Fonseca and their resolve
that he must abandon the prssi-
dsncy, which he has held for only COM
parstively brief period. Like Dom Pedro.
President Da Fonssoa has quietly yielded
to the demand Of tho people that the
executive Of the Brazilian government be
depossd from his Office. The people
of this city arose in arms against
the ,dictator's government yester-
day. The uprising thus far
has been very successful and the insur-
gents accomplished the ends for which they
have been secretly planning. Among the
first things the rsvolutionists did in the
morning was to increase their store OF
arms and ammunition. A strong force
made an attack on the naval arsenal and
after . weak and only half-heartsd effort
on tho part Of those stationed at the palace
to repulse ths invaders tho latter took pos-
session Of tho arsenal and Ill munitions Of
war which il contained. Only 4 few shots
were exchanged and the poor resistance
made by tho defenders is shown by the fact
that mono Of the insurgent force is reported
to have been killed or seriously wounded.
A laborer in the arsenal, struck by ono OF
the shots fred by the attacking patty. il
the only one of the contestants known to
have lost his life in the assault. One OF
the cannon balls f.om the arsenal was
badly directed and struck church causing
considerable damage.
News Of the uprising had very disquiet-
ing effect and created the greatest alarm
among women and children and those citi-
zens who had not taken arms in support of
either party, and when the fighting begun
1t ths arsenal and the rattle Of musketyy
and boom OF cannon we're heard all were
seized with a wild panic and fled to placei
conflict Was at an end. Merchants and
ahopksspsrs, fearful their places would BIZ
looted, made haste to close their establiEkL
ments and securely bolt and bar both doors
and windows. All their preparations were
unnecessary, however. for. ~ alreAdy
desoribed, tho the attack on tho arsenal wae
bonly Of short durstion. and, beyond smash
ing portions OF the church struck by the
cannon ball, no further damage was in
fiioted upon property, and very little dis
order prevailed.
Except Para, which remains silont, all
the provinces concur in the dismissal OF
Fonseca. Congress- will probably ignore re-
cent events. A new cabinet is being
formed. as follows: Alves, finance; Faria,
husbandry; Pereira, justice; Olivsiera, war;
Mello, marine; Pallita, foreign affairs.
Another report gives Senall the war port

Utes slaughtered this fall. AT the present
rate of killing there will not be q deer loft in

BYNUM OUT FOR MILLS.

The Indiana Congressman Withdraws
From the speakership Contest.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. Congressman
Bynum of Indiana has come out in card
withdrawing from the speakership race. In
his card Bynum says: II never pressed my
candidacy and only consented to the use OF
my name until it became evident that the
contest was narrowed down between Mills
and Crisp. Ishall heartily support Mills.
While many candidates are strong tariff
reformers, mono 80 prominently represent
the position of our party on this question
as Mills. He is known to the people rs u
prominent figure in the house on this ques-
tion and his defeat would in a great meas
ure be accepted ns the abandonment Of the
issue. The tariff is the issue upon which
we must win in 1892, and there should be
no semblance of waverinc or hating ut
this critical period. Unless the party
stands firmly and oppressively in favor of
this Issue. the farmers OF the northwest,
who gave us such sweeping victories IN 1890.
will become discouraged and may abandon
hope Of success through the organization
of our party" e.
