CALIFORNIA PIONEERS.
Tribute to the Early settlers by Sem

ator stewart.
WASHINGTON, May II. - Senator
Stewart, at the reunion of the California
pioneers at Marshall Hall, Md, on Fri
day, paid touching tribute to those who
settled the Golden State. Among other
things he said: "Those who were
pioneers in California only can imagine
it, history. Fifty thousand picked young
men in a new and and golden country,
all restraints thrown off and each man
left to the dictates of his own will, you
would think that anarchy would result,
but such was not the case. Violence was
occasional, but justice was meted out
speedily and satisfactorily. Friendships
were formed which have lasted through
life. While few now, we love each other
better. Those great Western States were
added to the Republic by the pioneers of
California-an army of peace, enterprise
and discovery. We learned there les
son of unison and patriotism that we
could not have learned elsewhere. l
would that there were more California
pioneers"

DIVIDED ON THE TARIFF.
Signs That the Democrats are Already at
Loggerheads.

A Washington special to the New
York Press says: There is a growing
probability that the tactics OF delay
which the free silver senator's are now
employing will be used in the senate
by the Republicans to prevent a pas
sage OF the Wilson tariff bill IN the
form in which it will come from the
house. The Democratic members of
the ways and means committee held
no formal meeting today, but, indi-
vidually, they were active in inquiring
into the condition OF affairs in the
senate.
There is no reason why, SO long as
endless debate is permitted i'll the SEN
ate, the Republican members should
not take advantage of it to wrest from
the Democratic majority as many
concessions in the tariff schedules as
they may demand.
Chairman Wilson announced that
the new tariff would be formed by his
committee "on the lines OF the Chi
cago platform" but that it would not
go into operation for six or eight
months after its approval. The bust
ness interests would have ample time
to prepare for it.
Bourke Cochran, on the other hand
and ne is a member of Wilson'scom-
~mIttee-said to a friend that if this
congress repealed the Mckinley law it
would pass another one very much
like it. The present situation Is re-
garded by a large majority of Demo
Gratis as much too serious to permit a
tariff war.

A SENSATION IN HELENA.
John H. Conrad Has Filed a Suit for
Divorce From His Wife.
Joseph A. Baker of GreattFalls, a Business
Associate, Among Others, Made Core
spondent.

HELENA, Sept, PA sensation vas
created yesterday when John Howard
Conrad filed a suit for divorce from
his wife, Mabel Barnaby Conrad.
Mabel is a daughter of Mrs. Josephine
Barnaby, the m said to have
been murdered by DR.. Thatcher Graves
at Denver by means OF poisoned
whisky supposed to have been sent by
mail from Providence, r. l. Conrad
was prominently identified with the
prosecution of the doctor, who after
ward claimed that the son-in-law OF
the dead woman had spent 100000
in securing witnesses and jurors to
bring about his conviction. The doc
tor held to this contention up to the
time he took his own life in the Denver
Jail rather than stand a second trial.
Conrad comes OF a prominent Nir-
ginia family and las been one OF the
most prominent men in the state.
Mrs. Conrad is a handsome brunette,
whose stylish turnouts always attract
attention on the streets of Helena. 1t
is said that there vas a scene at the
Conrad residence the other evening
when he charged her with her alleged
misdoings. Three correspondents are
named to the complaint. One is w.
5. Hopkins, the millionaire lumber
man of St. Clair Springs, Mich, with
whom Mrs. Conrad Is alleged to have
held improper relations in september,
October and November, 1888, at the
Conrad residence, then in Chicago,
and at the Richelieu hotel in the same
city in June and July, 1889, and again
ut the Auditorium hotel, Chicago, in
September, 1892. The second core
spondent is Richard Bishopo OF Denver.
Mrs. Conrad's alleged offense with him
occurred at the family residence OF the
Conrads in Helena in June, 1892, and
at Denver during the proceeding De
cember.
The other correspondent is Joseph
A.. Baker of Great Falls, who was
married to Conrad's sister, and who
has been his business associate foI
years. The complaint charges Mrs.
Conrad with improper relations with
Baker at the Helena residence Tor n
period extending from May. 1892, &c
the November following, during which
time Conrad says his business kept
him away from home. Heclaims thai
Baker made the Helena residence hi
home during that time. In Novem
Der of last year Conrad claims tina
his wife and Baker went to New Gorl
together and put up at the HOLLAND
house; that from there they went t
st. Augustine, Fla, and occupied tn
Bronson cottage together till las
June, meantime making a trip back t,
New York.
Conrad asks for the custody OF tn
children, two girls and a boy, and tn
court granted an Injunction to Or,
ven Mrs. Conraa~from taking ther
out OF the state. The parties wer
married, Dec. II, 1854, at Providence
