Locations for Several Educational
Institutions Selected.
HELENA, Feb. 1.-THE most important
question of state policy that will come
before the present session of the legisla-
ture has been practically decided. It
was whether or not the state educa-
tional institutions should be CONSOLE
dated in one great university, or divided
into some small half dozen different
schools--located at as many different
places. The advocates OF the latter pol
icy have triumphed, and il is practically
settled now that the university will be
will be located at Missoula, the agricul-
tural college at Bozeman. the school of
mines at Butte. and the state
normal school at Dillon. Great
Falls offered % site of $40 acres
and cash endowment of 800, 600 If
the consolidated schools should be lo-
Gated at that place. but the proposition
did not prevail against the ambition OF
several cities to be called the education
al center of Montana. and local inter
ests succeeded in dividing mp the schools
against the protests of the state teach
ers' association, the state council of ed
ucation and the opinions of most of the
leading educators of the country. The
federal government endowed the var
ious schools of Montana with an ag-
gregate of over 600, 900 acres of land ly-
ing within the state, which, in the
course of time. will be worth several
millions of dollars.

The artisans arose en- masse and q

strated with the rioters, bat they We're

which shots were exchanged. The
police were victorious Another fight

Everything was quiet the next morn

workingmen gathered by thousands in
San Vic.oriano. Las Cruce ward. and in
the public market. They overpowered
the police, and for while were in full
possession of the city. Newspaper offices
were sacked and general assault was
commenced on the public barracks.
The government called out the mill

dispersed.
The capital is still in state Of siege,

Actual Business for the Season Sur
prisingly Large.

<ASeuAA DuHEuCSS AOF hHC SCASOH sur
prisingly Large.
New YORK, Feb. 6.--R. Ct. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Actual business Ii surprisingly large for the
season and yet grave fears about the future arc
entertained. Congressional uncertainties
cause the fears, but the prosperity and the
needs of the people make business what 1t is,
and never before has the distribution of pro-
ducts to consumers been larger than it has
thus far this year. Hence, industries are re-
markahly prosperous. The volume of trade
measured by clearinEs in January was nearly
II per cent larger than in any previous year,
and the railway movement shows great In
crease In the tonnage transported. Yet it is
probably safe to say that rarely, il ever, except
In a time OF panic, has business been more eau
tiouslS and eonservatively regulated. Mone-
tary Uncertainties are excused by contin-
tiaued outgo OF gold, but the passage of the
ant!-option bill by the senate has had no effect
upon the market Ms yet.
