Mantle's Eloquenee.

One of the features OF the Republican
state convention at Mlssoula last
week was the speech oi Hon. I.re
Mantle, who was made temporary
chairman of the convention by accla-
nation. After general introduction
relative to the advantages OF state
hood, Mr.. Mantle said:

position of our Democratic friends is

the youngest son OF General Grant, is
in New York on a visit to his mother
and other relatives, accompanied by
his wife. He is living in California on
a large ranch property, where there is
IA fine country mansion, but makes his

at San Francisco. \ New Yorker, who
is interested with young Grant in some
business relations on the Pacific Coast,
told me yesterday that he has an in
terest in two or three gold bearing
silver mines in California and one such
mine IN Mexico, which give promise OF
making him an independent fortune.
Although he must be nearing 40 years
OF age, Mr.. Grant still has a youthful
and boyish appearance, because oi
his small stature and slender figure.
His weight is less than $50 pounds,
and his well-bronZed face is smooth
shaven, except for a small, dark brown
mustache. His wife is slender little
woman, of whom General Grant used
to say that she looked thin and ethe

THE CATTLE MARKET.
Con kohrs. the cattleman, Talks About the
Prospects TOT THIS Year.
[Great Fans I..sdrr.l

lGreat F.lls I..sder.l
\ Leader reporter met Mr. Con
kohrs, one of the most prominent
cattlemen OF this state, in the Great
Falls National baul; Saturday. where
he had dropped in TO talk cattle with
Hon. IL. =. Ford, another old cattle
man. In response to the reporters
inquiry he stated the outlook for the
coming season in this state in the
cattle business. The increase has
been Very satisfactory, most of the
calves having come through all right.
But the out tlook for prices is not very
encouraging. The Chicago market has
been dull and oVcrst ocked all winter
with corn-fcd cattle, prices ranging
from three to five cents. Last year
some range cattle brought as high as
five and one-fourth cents. Chicago
takes from 1O.ooo To SO. 900 head of
cattle every week, but u larger supply
than this IL apt to overst oclS the
market and depress prices. Stock
had wintered well except perhaps in
regard to water. I'm some sections OF
the state they had suffered a good
deal for lack OF water. there being
little snow on the ground. This was
more true in regard 10 the range on
the Milk river than on the range I've
tween the MariIs and the Missouri.
as the latter river was open most oi
the time and furnished water for
stock. Last Monday the receipts ot
corn-fed cattle alone amounted to
81 900 head; and the prospects for
coming year are that beef will sell a
cent off from last years quotations.
The shipment from Montana this
year will tall off considerably from the
figures reached last year. when over
POO, 900 head were sent from the
state. Mr.. kohrs estimates the ship
ments this year at 100000. The
reason for this is not i'll any decline
in the cattle industry, but from the
fact that on account OF scant pastur-
age OF the two years preceding last
year many cattle were unfit To market
which were shipped last year. The
export demand has been unusually
good all winter, but the market has
been overcrowded hist anding
this favorable condition.

The above figures do not tend to
sustain the Democratic argument that
the manufacturers are getting rich at
the expense OF the people, but simply
that such manufacturers make little
less than four per cent annual profit
on an average, and that the rest OF
the money they invest is devoted to
materials, labor, etc, OF which the
people receive the direct benefit.

that he did not believe the repeal meas

GARZA IN TAMAULIPAS,

With Him,

LAREDO, Texas, Jan. 1.-GarZa and his
followers are in the State of Tamaulipas,
Mexico, six hundred strong.
H. A. Herbert of New York, was dis
covered on IA train crossing into Mexico
with arms and ammunition. An attempt
was made to arrest him, but he escaped
The arms and ammunition were seized.
An interview with United States mar
shal Just in from GarZas field of opera
tions shows there is certainly a large force
with Cara, and that in one of Garza's de-
tachments which Capt. Hardie followed
there were no less than three hundred
men. Al the camp where they had taken
a single meal were found the remains of
eight beeves which had been slaughtered,
also thirty-one camp fires. The trails
bore proofs of a company of several hun
dred men.
Captain Hardie has spies and scouts sta
toned in various directions and is doing
everything possible under the circum-
stances, considering the impossible nature
of the country and there are only about
300 United States troops in the field, while
if reports are true, Cara must have i'm all
900 men. To-day supply wagons, heavily
laden. started down the rive with supplies
for the troops. There are rumors of a
battle between GrrZa and the Mexican
troops, bua inquiry across the river in
New La redo failed TO confirm them.

VIII Hill Resign?

WAsHIN GToN, Jan. f.-The fact that the
New York Legislature is now Democratic
beyond much doubt, together with the
significant fact that Governor-Senator
Hill has leased the Batemen mansion in
Albany, is regarded here rs good ground
for the belief that Mr.. Hill may consider
himself free To resign the seat in the
United States Senate which political ex-
igencies forced him To accept last winter.
His course in remaining away from the
Senate and keeping his senatorial posi-
tion as though it were a mere political
Job has earned him the dislike of the older
senators on both sides, and one of them, n
Democratic senator of high standing, re-
marked sarcastically to-day that he sup
posed Mr.. Hill would announce his COM
ing with a special message.
To new senator of the minority, SEN
atorship means nothing. Political schem-
ing will still be his chief occupation and
Albany is a more favorable place than
Washington for Hills schemes
Relieved of his Senatorial duties, Mr..
Hill can return to Albany and there run
the New York Democracy, including Gov
Flower as of yore. His political scheme
of self aggrandiZement is now national in
scope, but New York and not Washing
ton must still be the base of his opera

made an attack on the life of Mr.. John
Roesch, the Brooklyn lawyer, last night.
Early in the evening the lawyers door
bell rang, upon opening the door a man
who stood on the steps was invited to walk
in. He did so, and when asked his bust
ness, he said he was tired of living, but
that Roesch must die first, and suiting
the action To his words, he drew a revolver
and fired, Roesch lodged aside and the
ball whizzed by.
Roesch's SON heard the shot and rushing
to his fathers assistance succeeded in
wrenching the weapon from the mans
hand before any damage was done The
unwelcomed visitor was soon hustled into
the streets and given over to police officers
who promptly escorted him to the Stagg

be G. III. Doverner, a special officer. His
actions at the station left no doubt as to
his insanity.
