TO REMEDY A BLUNDER,
Gladstone Is Engaged in That Occup

Gladstone Is Engaged in That Occupa-
tion at Present.
copyright. 1892. New York Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-Giadstone's selection
Of some minor members of the radical Sec
tion for minor posts in the government has
not remedied the tactical mistake made in
the exclusion of radical representatives
from the cabinet. The fact is now uni
versslly recognized that Gladstone care
fully avoided admitting to office men in
any way identified with independent radi-
ealsm. Gladstone's plans to meet some
dangers threatening the early overthrow of
the government are already seen in the
formation Of cabinet committees. During
the two hours of the sitting OF tho council
bodyins in part the Newcastle pro-
gramms, and alloting work. three
committees in addition to the
home rule committee were formed. One
will be charged with the labor question.
another to draft bills for rural reform and
local option, and third cha ged with re-
forming electoral registration. The Asso-
ciated press las high authority to state
that the new government will not interfere
with the completed arrangements for an
international monetary conference. No
powers are vested in the delegates; they are
instructed to decline to discuss any propo-
sails entsilng alteration of the monetary
system of England, but they are authorized
to consider proposals whereby India might
join the influential lead of the United
States for fixing 4 ratio of silver.
1t is expected that Mrs. Maybrick will
soon be released from prison. 1t is under
stood that both Sir Charles Russell and the
attorney general and Home Secretary Az
quith favor her release.

Taxpayers Resting Uneasy Under the
Prospect Of nigh Taxes
BUFFALO, Aug. ia committee OF twelve
taxpayers, living in the vicinity Of railroads
whore the strike 10 in progress. called upon
the shelf to-day for the purpose Of pro-
testing against the great expense OF hold
ing the militia here when. in their opinion,
there Is absolutely no need for it. The
spokesman stated that they came to ask
that the national guard be removed unless
the sheriff could find some way of footing
the bill other than by calling on the tax
payers. A committee OF strikers likewise
called upon the mayor to present their
case. The sheriff was sent for and the
committee said they wished him to recall
the troops. Some time was spent in argu-
ing, during which railroad corporations
were loudly denounced. The men asked
that the officials appoint time when they
would give a decided answer ~ to whether
or not the troops would be Withdrawn. The
advisibility Of calling special meeting of
the board of supervisors to take action in
the matter of the retention of troops is be-
ing considered and there is every prospect
that meeting will be called. The county
supervisors are protesting vigorously
against the expenditure OF any NOR g
MODeY.

TO-DAY WILL DECIDE.
Tho Actual Status of tho Railroad Strike

Tho Actual Status of tho Railroad Strike
at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-Unless new oomplica-
tions develop before tomorrow morning on
the switchmens' strike. by the result of the
efforts of the railroads. Tomorrow shall
be judge of the status Of the strike. The
| companies claim they have sufficient men
to operate tho ronds if proper protection is
given them. Two Thousand troops were
ordered out, but they were claimed not to
| be sufficient. and 8, 600 more were ordere d,
aud arc here. Their assignment to duty at
| all points where the company feel there
might be danger has been going forward
to-day, aud tonight every command ia
assigned to duty. Careful enquiry demon
strated beyond doubt that the companies
| have sufficient men to man the roads. To
bs sure the strikers say the men are being
| held in duress are restrained from their
liberty. also that the men were hired to
| work on western roads and did not know
they were expected to work on tied-up
roads in Buffalo. If these allegations are
true the men may desert en- the irst oppor-
tunity. Il is not deemed probable, how
ever, that such defeotions would constitute
more than small minority of these now
waiting work.
The Lake Shore road has enough mon in
yards to night to man the usual number Of
switching engines. The Erie to-day moved
| five trains and have in quarters more than
the number of men usually employed.
The second feature of the strike is what
can be and will be the next stroke Of the
leaders against railway interests. There is
conviction that efforts are being strongly
pushed toward the withdrawal of work
from iremen or trainmen. or both. The
tiremsn are holding a meeting. the out
como of which may be Il determination to
quit work. Master Workman sweeney this
evening made an attempt for arbitration of
differences. He addressed letters to the
etf sctsd roads reciting the history of the
case and Offering TO submit the cause of
the strikers to arbitration. The Erie re-
sponded that tho matter would be referred
to headquarters. The Lake Shore disputed
tho allegations in Sweeney's letter, and tho
Central sharply declined arbitration, M
has the Reading before.

A Canine Oracle.

New YORK. Aug. 19.-Prizeaghte rs are in
their way almost as superstitious as sailors.
The first day Jim Corbett went to Brady
cottage little black and tan dog came up
to the house, wagged its tail and then left.
Everyone about the place said it was an
harbinRer of good luck. Monday, William
A. Brady, Corbstt's manager. was in the
city, and while at the Coleman hoase con-
versing with a group of friends, another
dog, an exact counterpart of the little black
and tan came up to them. Brady related
the incident of the dog at Look Arbour, aad
one of the party jokingly suggested asking
fight. When asked If Corbett would win,
the dog barked joyously aud wagged bis
tail. The question was repeated, and again
the dog made answer. They then asked:
us there any chance for Sullivan" The
dog dropped his tail between his legs and
skunk away. Now Corbett says he wants
that dog as q mascot.

contract for furnishing chemicals and ap-
paratus for the high school, their bid. $34O,
being the lowest.
The clerk was directed to get bids from
the east on other apparatus needed.
Superintendent Williams reported that
owing to the delay in tho contractors fur
nishine lumber, it would be impossible to
finish the high school building before the
school opened in September. The trouble
lies in the fact that the oak, used in fin
ishing, when it arrives in Helena, is not
dry, and it is necessary to put it in q kiln
after it arrives The contractors, tho Hell
sna Lumber company say they have used
every exsrtion to get dry lumber. and in
the endeavor have ordered from different
eastern houses.
1t was decided that the schools will re-
open Tuesday, Sept. 6, Monday, tho 9Th,

tary John w. Noble, of the interior de-
partmsnt, arrived in this city at eight
o'clock this morning, remaining all day,
and proceeded on his journey at $3.50 this
evening. During the forenoon he went
trout fishing with Mr.. G. r. Peterson,
about four miles up the Yellowstone, and
succeeded in catching Eve speckled
beauties, which he enjoyed at noon lunch.
At three o'clock this afternoon a reception
in his honor was held in the rooms of the
Livingston club. Many ladies in charm
ing costumes, the r. +. OF vs.. Of this city
were there, and numerous concourse of
the leading men Of Livingston and Park
county. Mayor Tacott, in few we'll
chosen words. welcomed the secretary in
behalf of the citizens assembled, and Hon.
Allan Il. Joy also made a speech OF well
come, in which he thanked the secretary
for the many favors the great
northwest had received at
his hands, and reminded him
OF the many more needful for the proper
development or the country. He alss
touched gently on the local interests of Liv-
ingston and Park county in general, the
segregation bill. permitting the construc-
tion of a railroad to the great Cook City
min ng camp. and the odd numbered Sec
tions in the old Crow Indian agency, to
which the Northern Pacific railroad claims
ownership.
The secretary responded at some length.
He complimented the ladies present; told
how he had landed the trout aud explained
the enormous business of the interior de-
partment. He told of his interview with
Chief Plsnticues, of the Grow tribe, and
his recommendation to tho big Chief that
he work, and that the time had arrived
when the Indian must work, and that in
the future he hoped to see the biggest chief
the Indian who could perform the most
manual labor. The secretary also spoke of
the pension bureau, said that he hoped to
see every old soldier entitled to q pension
get 1T. also put in word for Harrison
i'll this connection. He also spoke
OF the troubles Of the settlers with the
Northern Pacific railroad in the matter Of
| tha odd numbered sections in ths old Grow
agency. and said that he hoped he was not
exceeding the bounds Of propriety in prom
ising that they might hope for an amicable
adjustment in The near future. Many of
these settlers, who were present, considered
the matter as good as settled in their favor.
After the reception tho secretary was
driven down to Mission Greek, seven miles
from town, that he might see some of the
Improvements on these odd numbered Sec
tions made by men who had settled there
years ago in good faith, and to whose land
the Northern Pacific now lays claim. Tbs
reception and entertainment of the secre-
tary was engineered by Col. S. Dsutsoh,
and was a thorough success.

CALIFORNIA BUSINESS,

The Union Pacific and Great Northern
Reaching for 1t.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 19.-The statement
is published here that the Union Pacific is
only waiting developments before it makes
an effort to secure the California freight
business heretofore controlled by the South
ern Pacific Sunset route. New lines of
clipper ships between here and New York
have made serious inroads into Southern
Pacific business. The Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, controlled by the Southern
Pacific. has always been handled as a club
with which to threaten any intending COM
petition on tho water. As it is likely the
trans-continental association will refuse to
pay the subsidy any longer. the Union Pa
citio will be ready for business. In view of
this condition the latter railroad company
is now preparing to increase the steamer
service between San Francisco and Port
land. Instead of one steamer every three
or four days. daily steamers will be run,
reaching Oregon as fast as trains do.
it is an open secret. is being
built by the Union Pacific. One quarter of
the road ID now completed. When the line
is finished the Union Pacific steamers will
land their freight at Astoria and will then
send it direct east. 1t is estimated that the
average time from San Francisco to Asto ia
will be thirty-six hours. Two new steamers
are to be secured at once for the trade and
the Union Pacific believes by thus showing
the merchants of San Francisco it's eager
ness to help them out it will secure good
portion of the trade which control of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company and itD
use as q club enabled the Southern Pacific
company to send east over the Sunset route.
The Great Northern also proposes to dip
down into California business by running
q steamer limo between San Francisco and
the sound and later ON it is confidently be-
Loved President Hill will carry out his
original idea of building from Butte,
Mont, via Boise City. down to San Fran
CISCO Thus both lines are reaching out
for California trade.

the programme was good enough to make

later in tho afternoon and though 1t made
things more cheerful looking, it was still
chilly enough to be comfortable in over
