TODAY.

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs
do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain Of sin,
just for today
Let me both diligently work
And duly pray;
Let me be kind i'll work and deed,
Just for today.
Let me be slow to do my WILL
Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself
Just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou seal upon my lips,
just for today.
Cleanse and receive my parting soul
Be thou my stay;
Oh, bid me, if today die,
Go home today.
So for tomorrow and its needs
do not pray;
But keep me, guide me, hold me, Lord.
Just for today,

UP IN MONTANA.
The ChOteau County Canvassing Board
Can't Be Found.
No Canvass of Box Elder Precinct Can Be
Made-The Legislature Meets Monday
and Leach Seems to Be Left.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 2S.-[Special. ]
Nothing thus far has been done toward
the organization of the canvassing board
of Choteau county to canvass the vote OF
Box Elder precinct as ordered by the Su-
preme court, the effecH of which will be
to seat Leech, Republican, instead OF
Hamilton. Democrat, and give the Re-
publicans chance to control the lower
house of the legislature. Marshal Rum
sey has been in Choteau county since
Sunday trying to serve summons on any
three of the six persons forming the can
wasting board. They have proved very
elusive, the marshal as yet finding but
one of them. That was Hamilton, county
assessor, and he is also the man whose
seat is involved Rumsey met him on
the train, but before the summons could
be served Hamilton eluded the marshal
and got off at way station.
The county clerk, another of the board,
is missing. County Commissioners Miner
and Dune have been sin the woods
several days and Commissioner Gray can
not be found. Unless the marshall finds
enough members to organize the canvass
ing board the vote will not be counted
and Hamilton will be the only one OF the
Choteau contestants holding certificate
as member of the house when that body
is called to order Monday.

Party and Not Fuse.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2S.-The People, S

festo today: To the Peoples party legis-
lators elect, in Nebraska, Wyoming,
Montana, California, North Dakota and
other states. We hereby request that all
and each of you stand firm when it comes
to balloting for United States senators in
your respective states. We caution you
against fusion with either OF the two
dominant parties. Make square fight
for our principles and vote for no man
unless you know that he will advocate
and defend them in the United States
Senate.
We have arrived at a period in our
moqement where we must make square
stand up and fight for principle. If the
two dominant parties want to fuse on
candidate to defeat us, let them do so, as
the sooner they do that the better it will
be for us. You cannot afford to consider
the personal interests of any individual,
no difference how good or great he may
be, that will leave tinge of barter,
traffic or compromise attached to our
party principles. People look to you to
carry out promises made in the last cam
paign, and unless you do your utmost in
that direction, you will fail to do your
full duty.
We also kindly request that the Peoples
party, state, county and local committees
in every state in the union do all in their
power and lend helping hand towards
organizing loyal legion. Push this
organization in every state. county pre-
cinct and school district in the land.

NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
A Bill Covering This Question Will

How Washington Politicians View the
Senatorial Contest in New York
Commander Johnson's Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The sub-com-
mittee having charge of the subject of es-
tablishing national quarantine has
agreed upon bill which will be reported
to the full committee after recess. The
bill agreed upon puts the national quar-
antine system into the hands of the hos
pital service of revenue marine Wher-
ever state quarantine regulations exists
the hospital service of the revenue marine
shall have power to enforce the laws and
regulations of the different states. Where
there are no state regulations. or where
in the opinion of the marine hospital SER
vice, the quarantine regulations of the
state are not sufficient to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of contagious diseases into the
United States, the marine hospital service
shall report the facts to the secretary of
the treasury, who, if in his Judgment it
is necessary, or proper, shall order the
marine hospital service to make such adj
ditional rules and regulations as are neces-
sary to prevent the introduction of such
diseases into the United States from for
eign countries, or from one state to an
other state. The presidents also author
lied to suspend immigration from foreign
countries where infectious diseases exist.

NIELSEN Held 70 ANSWER
Preliminary Examination IN the
Mt. Pleasant Case Concluded.
EVIDENCE OF DEFENDANT.
His Bond Is Fixed in the Sum OF
$1,000.
This He Had Not Obtained mp to Late
Hour Last Evening-Sentiment Re-
garding the Young Man.

MT. PLEASANT, o. T., Dec. 2S.-
Especial. Court was called to order at
$3.50 this morning and the taking of evil
dence for the defense resumed. Peter g
Nelson, the defendant in the case, testi-
fled in his own behalf, stating that on the
night of the tragedy he went to the bank
about o'clock and remained there until
called for. He stated that when he went
to the bank he drew down the blind to
the window so as to not be disturbed,
but some time afterward remembering
that one of the directors had objected TO
the blinds being drawn, raised them.
That he had extracted the cartridge from
the gun three or four days previous to the
shooting expecting to clean the weapon.
but as it was near supper time deferred
cleaning it, and did not remember
whether he had put the cartridge back.
This closed the testimony for the de-
Tense and the prosecution asked that as
they had discovered another very impor-
tant witness the testimony be allowed to
be given. This was granted, and the
witness, young lady of fifteen years,
said on the evening of the shooting she
was returning home and met and recog-
niZed the defendant half block from the
bank, hurrying towards it. He was
dressed in a large overeoat. Efforts to
confuse witness were unsuccessful, and
her evidence furnished a very important
link IN the circumstantial chain surround
ing the defendant. Evidence in rebuttal
was then introduced, after which argu-
ments were begun.
Ferdinan Erickson, prosecuting attor
ney for this county, opened for the prose-
cution and briefly reviewed the evidence.
Daniel Houtz OF Provo, the defendants
attorney, followed with strong attack on
the evidence of the prosecution as being
only circumstantial. A recess was then
taken, and on resuming sitting Jacob
johnson, probate Judge, closed for the
prosecution, summing up the evidence in
full and drawing from the defense's testi-
mony facts almost equally unfavorable to
Nelson.
The case rested with the court, which
held that the evidence warranted the bind
ing of the defendant over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury, and bail was
placed at s., 500, which at this hour had
not been secured. The prisoner has re-
manned composed throughout the whole
trial and received the verdict with undis-
turbed features. Public sentiment seems
to think the young man guilty. although
a great deal of sympathy has been ex-
pressed for him.

FIRE BUGS IN MILWAUKEE,.
A Bomb Destroys the Plant of the Street
Railway Company

halfway company.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 29.-At O'Clock
this morning bomb was thrown into
the main building on the south side of the
plant of the Milwaukee Street Railroad
company and tremendous explosion fol-
lowed. In a moment the interior of the
building was abIaze. In a few minutes
the fire was beyond control and in less
than an hour the entire plant was con-
sumed, entailing loss of half million.
The plant included an immense storage,
stable for electric motors, machine shops
and stables. Sixty horses in the stable
were gotten out alive. The company is
crippled by fire for some time. 1t is sup
posed that the man who threw the bomb
is fire bug who has started q dozen other
disastrous blazes within month.
Today number of fire insurance COM
panies gave orders to cease writing insur-
anee on manufacturing plants in this city.
The mayor this afternoon offered re-
ward of 81, 800 for the arrest of the persons
who started any fires since the big fire of
Oct 20, or any future fire for the next
thirty days. He also decided to add a
hundred more to the police force for night
duty.
Two mora bodies were found in the
ruins of yesterdays tannery fire. One
was that of Stephen Treaderl, tanner;
the other is unknown.
Chief of PoliceKanssen, after thorough
examination, is satisfied that the fire
which this morning destroyed $500, 600
worth of the Milwaukee Street Railway
company's property was caused by car
stove which was overheated.

ANDRIEjH CLETER SCHENB.
He Gains Much Admiration By
His Bold Course.
RIB0T IS CHALLENGED.
His Reply Very Decisive But Is Not an
Apology.
His Public Utterances Had Not Gone
Beyond Legitimate Criticism, Hence
He Declines to Fight-Other
Foreign Matters.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The efforts Of Andrieux
to draw Premier Ribot into a duel have
failed and it is not considered likely that
Andrieux will resort to violence. as was
at first intimated. There is no Disgusting
the fact that Andrieux has gained much
admiration by the boldness and success
OF his course. There is no doubt the
government intended to order his arrest
on the charge of treason. The arrest
was to be effected suddenly and strike
terror into the plotters for the overthrow
of the administration.
Andrieux checkmated the scheme by
boldly proclaiming the governments in
tentions and purpose as explained to
silence him in the task of exposing the
Panama frauds by committing him to a
dungeon. He also proclaimed that he
had made sure of the security of the
evidence under his control so that the
purpose of the government is defeated.
This, it is reported, made the ministry
hesitate in its purpose of arresting
Andrieux without having clear and un-
answerable evidence to establish case
against him. The ministry feared the
public would interpret the hasty arrest as
proof that the statements of Andrieux as
to the motives of the government were
true. This would mean the ruin of the
cabinet.
When Andrieux arose Monday morning
still at liberty, he determined on a still
bolder move that was to give Ribot a
choice between a duel or a retraction of
the words in which he had accused
Andrieux of endeavoring to excite dis
nFrln-. and Of
OF the insurrection. Andrieux sent a
challenge to R1bot on the ground stated.
The premier replied through his secre-
tary that the utJerances OF Ribot had not
gone beyond Legitimate public criticism.
Andrieux was not satisfied with the re-
ply and sent two friends to the premier
to demand satisfaction. The friends
represented that M. Andrieux considered
Ribot's words as implying that he,
Andrleux, was guilty Of a criminal ig-
noble act and was seeking in an illegili-
mate manner to arouse disorder and
bloodshed. Andrieux, therefore, insisted
they declared on such satisfaction as a
duel would give.
Ribot replied quietly, but decisively.
He had nothing to add to the explanation
already given through his secretary, ex-
cept that he considered the explanation
ought to have dissipated any doubts of
Andrieux as to the tone in which the words
winch AnQrieuX considered offensive had
been used. Ribot did not speak apoIo-
getically, nor did he offer any retraction,
or even propose to mitigate or extenuate
the meaning of what had been said. He
declined at the same time to discuss the
matter any further.
Andrieux now states in letter to the
newspapers that Ribot's words could be
taken as equivocal. Andrieux adds:
''They are not acceptable to me, but
thank my friends for the measures thew
have taken toward dissipating the doubts
as to what Ribot meant''

PLIMMER THE VICTOR.
But McGrath. Was Game and Stood
Terrible Punishment.
Billy Murphy and Tommy White Fight
Thirty Four Rounds in San Francisco
When a Draw Is Declared.

CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y. Dec. ga large
and enthusiastic crowd of sporting mer
assembled here tonight to witness the fin
ish fight between Billy Plimmer of Eng
land, champion bantam-weight of the
world, and Joe McGrath, champion no.
pound man OF Ireland, at the Coney Is
land Athletic club. Plimmer was the favor
tie, being backed with considerable
money, but the Irish lad was expected to
put up most stubborn fight and give
everybody a run for their money. The
referee was Johnny Eckhardt, club timer,
Bob Stoli of New York. They fought for
purse of $3.50, the winner to take $4,000
by Charley Norton of Newark, Bonnie
Murphy and Harry Evans of Birming-
ham, England, Joe Connolly OF Newark
was bottle holder, and Alfred JeWett OF
Philadelphia held time for him.
McGrath was looked after by Martin
Murphy of San Francisco, Peter Maher
OF Ireland and Jimmy Carroll OF Brook
lyn. His bottle holder was John Brady
Of New York, and the timer was Jack
Sheehan of race track fame. Plimmer
was strong favorite. Little was done in
the first round, but in round two Plim-
mer forced matters, punching McGrath
whenever he pleased.
In round three Plimmer kept jabbing
his left into McGrath' s mouth, and soon
had that organ full of blood.
Round Four-Plimmer forced the fight
ing, landing just when and where he saw
fit. The Irish lad was game and stood
the punishment manfully, but it was
plainly evident he was no match for
Plimmer. The fifth round was repeti-
ton of the others.
Round six was almost sickening to be-
hold. 1t was extremely brutal. Nc
Grath was pounded until he was SO
groggy he could scarcely stand on his
feet He was knocked down four times
but gamely got up each time before he
could be counted out.
Round seven was another exhibition OF
gameness on the part of McGrath and
smuggling by PIimmer. McGrath was re-
peatedly Knocked down but always got
up in time to save himself.
Eighth Round-Plimmer went at him
with vicious rights and let's, pounding
his face out of all semblance of humanity.
1t was so extremely brutal that the crowd
yelled ssTake him off, - and out of pure
pity Jimmy Carroll threw up the sponge.
McGrath then got mad at his seconds for
throwing up the sponge.

Washington Politicians Do Not Believ,
Murphy Can Be Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The Star this
evening says: Politicians here do not be-
lieve Murphy of New York can be de-
feated for the United States. Senate and
they believe Mr.. Cleveland appreciates the
fact. At present Mr.. Cleveland has no
personal representative in the Senate who
is long experienced and IN a position to
act as leader. Should he succeed in the
election of personal friends in New York
it would not improve the situation greatly,
as no new man, however capable, can
figure very prominently.
Mr.. Cleveland will, however, have a
strong personal friend in the Senate by the
time the Fifty third Congress is organ
lied, unless all present plans miscarry
This will be Mr.. Bayard CT Delaware. 1t
is expected Senator Gray will go into the
cabinet, and his retirement from the Sen
ate will mean the election of Mr.. Bayard.

THE COMMANDER JOHNSON CASE.
The Findings of the Court Martial Prac-
tically Against Him,

The Findings of the Court Martial Prac-
tically Against Him,
WASHINGTON, Dec. zS.-The record of
proceedings of the courtmartial in the
case of Commander M. L. johnson,
charged with the responsibility of
grounding the United States steamship
Mohican on the Pacific coast, has
reached the navy department.. The case
will be reviewed by Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lemly and then be submitted to the
secretary of the navy for action. The
findings of the court cannot be announced
officially in advance of such action, but
the impression among naval officers who
have followed the proceedings is that
Commander Johnson was practically ac-
quilted by the court.
