DEMOCRATIC MAYOR.

Speeches and Ceremonies At
tending the Change Of
Administration.
Mayor Gelsthorpe's Appointees Re
jected by the Republican Majority
in the Council.

Great Falls now has a democratic
MAYOR. but he stands practically alone
with hostile republican majority in the
council, apparently determined to frus-
trate his plans for reform.
AtSp. m. the old council met at the
chamber in the Dunn block, transacted
a good deal of routine business, and
then repaired to the court house, which
contained a large audience. Mayor
Webster took the chair and delivered
his farewell address, after which he re-
tired, first introducing Mayorelect Gels
thorpe, and wishing him success. The
new mayor followed with his inaugural
address, which seemed to meet with
general approval.
When the mayor was ready to an
nounce his appointments he exclaimed
with sigh: "Now comes the tug of
war" He knew before hand that there
would be opposition on the part of the
republican majority in the council to
some of the men he intended to name.
He probably was not prepared, how
ever, to have them all rejected with the
exception OF two minor officials. The
republican clique chcered the contumacy
of the republican councilmen, and
seemed much to enjoy the temporary
discontinue of Mayor Gelsthorpe. When
there was lul the slick Holstein steer
went over and patted his henchmen of
the council on the back. They did not
seem to remember the adage that ale

How The Chinese Propose to show L,
That Our Law is Unconstitutional.
WASHINGTON, May proceedings to
test the constitutionaity of the Geary
| Chinese exclusion act are being prose-
cuted by the Chinese Six companies Of
San Francisco. Concurrence of federal
authorities to expedite the hearing was
secured by the Chinese legation through
the departments Of state and justice.
| Chinese residents Of the United States,
to very large extent, are subservient to
the Six companies and follow the advice
given by its officials in all matters. The
companies advised the Chinese not to
register as required by the act, but the
Chinese minister advised subjects of his
government to respect the law. Within
the past two days there has been a
breaking away from the Six companies
to some extent and applicants for regis
tration are mOIe numerous than can be
accommodated by the present force.
Collectors have asked the treasury de-
partment for additional help. As was
stated yesterday there will be no ar
rests made for violations of the law un-
til after the supreme court has passed
upon the measure. Should the law be
sustained, it is said there can be nothing
like general enforcement Of it until
congress makes an appropriation to meet
the accompanying expenses. The ques-
ton of the constitutionaity of the ex-
clusion law will come up for argument
in the supreme court week from today.

WAsnINGToN, May 3 Secretary Car
lisle was at the treasury department at
an early hour this morning and from the
crowd OF visitors which Was present in
his room during the day il was apparent
that the public was well acquainted with
the fact Of his return. The trip to Chi
cago was evidently beneficial to him. for
he appeared bright and free from the ex-
preston Of care which was noticeable
when he left the city. Probably the in
formation which he obtained on the gold
situation was pleasing TO him and re-
lieved him considerably. 4 reporter
asked him today whether after looking
over the condition of gold in the west
and his conference with Chicago bankers
there was anything to say regarding the
financial situation. Mr.. Carlisle replied
that there was nothing to be said as af-
fairs are in most satisfactory state and
the department is not anxious. There
is plenty of gold which can be utilized
No he added. II made no absolute ar
rangement while awaiting the accept
ance of any gold by the treasury" The
secretary said this in tone of confidence
which was significant that the admins
tration was well pleased with the pres
ent situation, and felt that it could meet
whatever demands might be made on it.
The official statement of gold in the
treasury. made to Secretary Carlisle for
use at the cabinet meeting this after
noon, shows gold balance of S97 ,4O1.-
600; gold in transit, S55G,0OO; total, S97.-
$4,000.
There is some talk of Secretary Car
| lisle going to New York for another con-
| ference with the baniers. but nothing
positive can be learned about it. The
total gold in the country as estimated by
the treasurys official circulation state
ment aggregates SCl3,000,000. of which
5jlS,00O,0O0 is in circulation.

not otherwise.

a fair and honest run for their money saw

The defeat of Rudolph in the Quinlan

quotations in the odds indicated. There
was considerable applause and cheering
when it was seen that the wearer of the
familiar ''black and yellow" had the race
