HELENA, Mont, Feb. Leading
sattlcmen of the State estimate that
the losses of cattle in open ranges will
average about 25 per cent from the
storms and frightfully cold weather
prevailing since Jan. "a. Losses will
be heaviest in Choteau, Fergus and
Dawson Counties, as the weather in
that section in the early part of the
winter was less favorable than in the
Southeastern portion of the State. Old
cows, young calves and Texas cattle
brought North last week have stood
the storm poorly.

AFTER PHILIP ARMOUR
Another Chicago Dynamite Crank
Makes Terrible Threats.
Armour Institute, with Its FOun-
der and President.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24-Armour Institute at
Thirty-third street and Armour avenue has
been threatened with destruction by a dyna-
mite crank, and it is said also that the lives
of Philip d. Armour, founder of the insti-
tute, and DR.. Frank Gunsaulus, its president
and pastor of Plymouth Church, have been
placed in jeopardy by the same individual.
Neither DR.. Gunsaulus nor Mr.. Armour will
say a word concerning the story of their
own lives being in danger, but at the same
time it is positively known that DR.. Gun
saulus has declared that a man, who was
at one time connected with the Armour In
stitute has threatened to blow up the in
stitute with dynamite at time when such
deed would prove a terrible calamity.
When the threat was made, the Doctor by
his persuasions had for the time being con-
verted the would-be dynamiter and the lat
ter departed promising not to carry his
threat into execution. He had a wild look
in his eyes, however. as he had later on
several occasions when DIR. Gunsaulus met
him on the street.
The story is that the crank demanded that
DIR. Gunsaulus furnish him with money or
get il from Mr.. Armour. The millionaire Is
a member OF the congregation OF Plymouth
Church aud warm personal friend or its
pastor. 1t was on this that the crank
counted when he demanded that DR.. Gun
saulus use his influence with Mr.. Armour In
order TO procure the money. When the re-
quest was denied by the pastor then came
threats of blowing up both him and Mi.
Armour as well as the institute. Beatrice
Gunsaulus, the twelve-year-old daughter or
the pastor, announced two days since that
"a man with a pistol has been following my
papa around and one day a man wearing
a light overcoat came to the house and papa
was afraid to have him around"
That was the extent of the little girls
information, and she vouched for it's truth
by saying: MY father told me that much
about it,"
DIR. Gunsalus tonight refused to say any
thing about his personal 1anger but said
1T is true that threats have been made to
blow up the institute with dynamite. A man
who was connected with 1t was discharged
and when he left he remarked to me: i
don't care; l can fix this place any day
with a little dynamite told him that any
further talk of that kind would lead 10 his
arrest. He said he did not mean anything,
and went away. L have seen him several
times since, and i am still little appre-
hensive concerning the institute. Concerning
myself and Mr.. Armour. guess We are all
right up TO the present time"

GENERAL BANKS FAILING.
The Old Fighting Statesman and Soldier
Said TO Be Losing His Reason.

WALTHAAI, Mass, Dec. 2f-It is said
that Gen. y. p Banks is losing his reason.
Last Friday night he rode into Swampscott
on a Lynn and Boston electric car and
wandered around in an aimless manner.
He was taken to the police station and
there he established his identity, but IL
was not thought at first by the police of
that place that it was his right name. On
investigating the case the officers found a
woman who had been in the car, and who
explained that he had boarded the car in
Boston about o'clock, accompanied by two
other men, one of whom paid the fares
The two men got off the car at Chelsea.
On the night of the Generals statement
he was taken 10 Walthar1 by Lynn pc
lice officer. All these facts were verified to-
night by the police of this place and by
members of the Generals family.
A reporter was told that General Banks
left his home, on Main street, Waltham.
Friday shortly after noon; AT the time he
was followed by an attendant, engaged for
the purpose of watching the General, but
the latter succeeded in eluding him. and
then boarded train on the Fitchburg rail-
road which took him 10 Boston. Ii is sup
posed that the General wandered about the
city until O'Clock, and then, thinking that
ne would return TO his home, took car
&c General ne Banks's health would not allow
his being interviewed. and Ii was stated
the members of the family could gather no
coherent details as 10 the lgentlIy OF his
companions or of their intentions toward
him It is evident that General Bankss
mind Is not so strong and clear as IL was
once, and that IL is failing rapidly there is
no doubt in the minds Of those VINO are in
timately associated with him from day TO
day. Indeed il is said that he is not sup
posed To go around unattended. An evil
dence OF the weakness OF his mind is said
% be seen by his frequent visits to the
police station, mistaking IL for the public
library, and often he mistakes the library
building for the City Hall. His family is
greatly distressed over his condition.

AWARDS ARE SHAMS.
Foreign Commissioners Disguised with
Their Treatment at the Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Dec. A.-The dissatisfaction
of foreign commissioners with the treat
ment accorded them by the bureau
of awards of the worlds fair does
not seem to diminish. Chairman Thatcher
sent to Chicago last week the list of
awards granted to foreign countries. Sec
retary Dickinson had them conveyed TO
the several commissioners. When Senor
De LONE, Of Spain, received his he receipt
ed for the list and in addition wrote a
letter to Mr.. Dickinson, in which he said
concerning the list:
THE document is a worthless and useless
list Of names copied from our records,
and Is not the official statement the for
eign commissioners asked for and obtained
a promise from executive committee to re-
ceive. l hope il will be the last time 1
