JENA, July 3l.-Bismarck made tour Of
the town in q carriage to-day. The univer-
sity students in full strength, formed .
guard Of honor. Replying to an address
Bismarck said in part that the Bismarck
policy had been said by the people to have
had luck. He wished he could say that
other ministers and chanoellors had been
lucky. He advised his country men to pro-
duce strong parliamentary majority 10 40

bureaucracy. Some found fault he said.

might be. Bismarck further said Il have

Yesterday Was the Hottest Day of the

In return for the cold wave from the
northwest to the heated city of Chicago
there came n hot wave to Helena
yesterday. Everybody sought the
shady side of the street when
compelled to 90 out of doors. The
man with a neglige shirt and straw hat
was pleasure to tho eyes. The mercury
bspan to climb early III the day. On the
west side the house thermometers averaged
81 in the shade at three p. m. The mercury
reached 81 at six y. H.. at Hale's drug
store on Main street. Hardly breath Of
air stirred all the afternoon, and the
ground baked in the sun. The soda water
fountains and ice cream pRrlors did a
rushing business. While the heat WAS ex-
cessive no prost ations were reported. Late
in tho night slight breeze sprang up and
made il somewhat cooler.
Last week was red hot week all through
the east. The 25th inst. was really a red
hot letter day. People were prostrated in
many OF the principal oities. There was
much suffering and many cases of pros
tration ended fatally. 1t was very hot even
here in this pleasant climate and some suf-
fered unsasiness from the unusual heat,
but compared with Chicago, Pittsburg.

BERGMANN'S SWEETHEART.

She Is Said to BE Responssble for His An

CHICAGO, July 3l.-More hrs been learned
of Bergman. the would-Es assassin OF
Henry Friok. When he lived at Viva,
Russia. he became acquainted with rather
handsome girl named Emma Goldman.
He loved her as boy there, and it is said
that Miss Goldman returned his affections.
She came to America be. ore Bergman did.
Later, whom he came to New York he met
Miss Goldman again. Their affection
was renewed. For time they lived to
gether. although they were never married.
mann could be asoribed his terrible an
arohy, for she is probably the most bitter
and best known female anarchist in New
York. She is strong minded woman and
would exercise great influence over a
weak man like Bergman. She is an init
mate friend of John Most. She never
membered that she created disturbance
at the last Mav-day domonstration of Uen-
tral Labor union, which was invaded BY
anarchists. The truck in which she was
riding WAS driven away while she was talk
ing. il
Manv persons who are familiar with the
anarchists of this city remember having
Rether frequently. Socialists were seen TO-
day who did not hesitate to hold this young
woman responsible for BerRmann's mur-
dsrous attack on Frick. She was seen with
John Most at meeting OF q group Of New
York anarchists late Saturday night. She
then admitted that she knew BerQmann,
but refused to talk about their alleged love
affair She was overjoyed by the news of
the assault on Frick. Her cheeks flushed
proudly when Bergmann's name was mon
toned. and she made no effort to conceal
her intense admiration for his act. She re-
fused TO give his history, saying that he
would soon enough make it public. The
young woman spoke for ten minutes. She
has not been seen since. Her lover was al
ways miserably poor. He was too shiftless
to work long at any time, and he depended
for living largely on the generosity Of his
companions. With Emma Goldman he
frequently attended the meetings Of e. CUP
No. /, East Fourth street, but he seldom
spoke or took part in the discussion. Emma
Goldman generally did the talking. He
WAS also member of the group Of an
arohists known a. the Pioneers of Liberty.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The future Of this
session Of congress- depends altogether on
the treatment OF the Worlds fair appro-

people saw Ike Hayes. the Helena fighter
do up Reddy German in about four minutes

the opening of the first round Hayes started
in with his usual tactics. duoking his head
and sending in upper outs az fast a. he
could move his arms. German parried his
blows and landed on Hayes jaw with con-
siderable force. Hayes retaliatsd with a
terrific right handler in the neck which sent
German fiat on his back. The second
round was hard slugRinR match for about
. minute, when Gornan's legs suddenly
gave out and he collapsed.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK
Why Cleveland Is Stronger and
Harrison Is Weaker Than N.
Four Years Ago.
The Republican States That May
Be Looked Upon as Debat-
able Ground.
Figures on Which to Base Political CAL
culations-straws which Go tn In
dictate Democratic Success,

New YoRK. July 8l.-Soms sanguine re-
publioans have been claiming one, or per-
haps two. southern states for Harrison.
This seems like q forlorn hope in view Of
the fact that the republican party 10 pledged
to force bill and that President Harrison
is known to be fanatic on the subject OF
controlling southern elections by federal
bayonets. The electoral vote of the south
seems certain 10 90 solidiy for Cleveland.
The so-callod southern states have 1853 votes
in the electoral college. These. with tha
sixty-seven electoral votes of Connecticut
(six). Indiana (fftesn). New Jersey (ten),
and New York (thirty-six), make total OF
226 for the democratic candidates. or thres
more than the 223 necessary to elect.
But the Harrison republicans claim that
Harrison carried Indiana and New York in
1883 and can carry them again this year.
This claim ignores the marked changes that
have occurred since the last presidential
election. Cleveland is stronger than he
was four years ago-Harrison is weaker.
The fight against Cleveland within his own
party has been fairly fought out. and those
who were his opponents are honestly, earn
estly and will be enthusiastically in favor
of his election. The New York democracy
has been solidifed by threats of force bills,
prepared and urged on congress by the no.
torious John !. Davenport whose aimed
tuf1ians have arrested without warrant
hundreds OF honest workinemen and legal
voters at the polls in this city at every cleo
ton in which he has found authority to
take part.
The business community has been dis
Rusted with the surplus squandering, the
general profligacy and the MoKinleyism of
the administration. Reformers who sup
ported Harrison four years ago are scan
dalized by the connection of the Wana
makers, Raums and Elkinses with the
administration, by the abuse of civil serv-
ice rules, by the presidential nepotism, and
by the unscrupulous use made of the fed
eral patronage to secure Harrison's nomi-
nation. The republicans count on demo-
cratic treachsry to Cleveland. They are
likely to be disappointed. But republican
trsachery is very apt to do its work at the
polls, both through absenteeism and knit
ing on the insultsr of Blaine and repudis-
tor OF Plat. Hence there is no good
ground for concluding that because Harrl-
son carried dem ocratic New York four years
ago he will Garry it again this year. As to
Indiana Harrison is notoriously weaker there
now than he was in 1883, when he carried
the state by only 2.346, in total of nearly
$40. 600 votes

On the grounds thus set forth many
