The Hill Men Don't Like 1t,

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 12.-The announce
ment that Judge Gresham has been ten
dered and has accepted tho portfolio of
state in President-e elect Cleveland's cabinet
created surprise in official circles through
out New York state. There was no dissent
in any quarter with reference to the 1T
ness of Judge Gresham for the position.
The republicans generally oompllmented
Gratis were divided in their views on the
subject. The followers of Senator Hill
do not hesitate to show their dissatisfaction
over the choice of Judge Gresham. They
say that the premier Of the incoming ad-
ministration should lie able, at least, to
bonst of his staunch democracy; that re-
cent converts to the tenets of that party
ought not to he thrust forward unless some
special emergency required it.

The H0osier Joy Is Qualified.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-The positiven sss
with which il is asserted from New York
that Judge Walter q. Gresham has been
offered and has accepted the portfolio Of
state has caused much excitement among
the democrats OF this city. While conced-
ing all that Is claimed for the sterling in
teerity and marked ability of the jurist.
very few believe that Cleveland should
make the selection for such an important
position from the ranks Of men whose first
democratic vote was cast in the last cleo
tion. Gresham is popular both with tho
democrats and republicans Of Indiana. but
his popularity is not of the kind that DEM
oorats think would justify the president
elect in passing over many long tried NOM
bers of the democratic party to select q
man who is but a recent convert to its
principles and more recent accession to
its ranks.

J. F. WeRner, OF Craig, speaking Of Rep

of Cascade and Meager counties to Lewis
and Clarke says: II fully endorse the
Of said parts of Cascade and

county. Every resident and taxpayer re-
riding in said parts Of Cascade county.
without exception. is fully in accord with
said measure introduced by Mr.. Steve
Carpenter OF Lewis and Clarke.
''Ihe canoe and reasona for such action
are many, as follows: by the formation of
Cascade county it divided our school, road
and voting districts. leaving half of the
population without organization. The en-
tire population OF this part of the country
referred to have labored under dieadvan-
tages ever since the formation of Cascade
county. The people OF this part of Cas-
obliged to look to the city of Helene
in Lewis and Clarke county for
their supplies and general business. All
freight rates are cheaper fl ON Helena than
any other point of business reached by rail-
road from here. Also the wagon road from
Craig Station to Helena Ia the only one
that can be travelled all times of the year
and the shortest by one. half. The voters
have been put to lots of trouble and loss Of
time by the inconvenience of registration
Offices. Thereby the annexation of this
part OF Cascade county and MeaRher county
will naturally locate the registration offices
at Craig Station, now Lewis and Clarke
county. 1t is the only railroad station con-
venient to this part of Cascade county, and
naturally every body residing here will in
eide of thirty days Of registration come to
Craig Station for mail and freight supplies.
ALSO by q consolidation OF this part of
Cascade and Meaeher counties with Lewis
and Clarke county this county can use the
combined school funds to employ compe-
tent teachers to teach school the entire
year at Craig. 1t is my opinion. from the
knowledge of the facts of this community,
that their just claims deserve recognition
by favorable decision at the hands of on,
lawmakers"

GREAT FALLS Feb. 12.-The chinook
which had prevailed in these parts for the
past two days terminated suddenly this
afternoon, the wind changing to the north
and the mercury dropping twenty degrees
in two hours. 1t will probably be several
deg ees below zero before morning. Cattle
men say that if it continues very long stock
will suffer worse than during the late cold
spell. as the snow on the range will become
heavily crusted. John Hansen. who looks
after M. 4. Miller's Montana cattle inter
ests, is in town from Malta. He says that
the loss in that section up to date will av-
erage nearly % per cent. 1t is confined
mostly to cattle shipped from the south
last season. About 80. 600 head of unaccli-
mated cattle. mostly from Texas. were
turned loose on the ranges of northwestern
Montana last year. The extremely cold
weather proved very disastrous for many
of them. The loss in native cattle win not
be near so heavy.

The New West Bound Railroad Tariff
Takes Effect on Wednes-
day Next
Tho Union Pacific, Northern Pa
c!flc and Great Northern
All in It.
Montana Secures ~ Reduction From the
Former Schedule and Spokane Gets
Quito y Large One.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 12.--Ths new
west-bonn tariff. which waH formulated
after months session OF the transconti-
mental railroad conference, was given ous
to-day. 1t changes the entire complexion
Of transcontinsntal ratios. The new rates
will go into effect Feb. 15. Tho tariff 10 H.
sued jointly by the Union Pacific, the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern,
and covers the entire territory penetrated
by these systems west Of Chicago to the
Pacific coast. II has been the avowed our
pose in making these rates to build up tho
country through which the roads run, and
all classes of freights havo been acted
upon and included in the schedules There
is an average reduction OF 20 per cent. on
oil freight rates from st. Paul to Spokane
a reduction of from 12 to 16 per cent. on
coast rates. and from to z per cent. on
rates to Montana. while the only east
bound reduction will be on lumber
from 55 to 30. The east bound lumber
rate to Chicago and st. Louis remains at
60 and IN respectively. The reductions
to Spokane are tho result of an appeal by
that city to the interstate com
merce commission. and the new rates are
even better than those ordered by the COM
mission. Tho reductions to Montana are q
concession TO its commercial development.
One or two factors enter into the situation
which give it additional interest. The present
agreement embraces only three roads instead
of ten. the number subject to the old agree
ment. The new tariff extends no farther
east than Chicago, while the one it super
oedes provided for transcontinental busi-
ness. 1t is an undeniable fact that while
only three roads joined in the tariff all
transcontinental roads were represented
during the early days Of the conference.
Why they withdrew 1t is not known,
but no complications are expected from
that quarter. The railroads to the south
will be compelled to reduce rates 10 the
Pacific coast points if they intend to carry
any transcontinental business at all. II is
understood the Canadian Pacific, while not
directly appearing in the agreement, will
coincide in the result. Tho new tariff di-
rectly applies to the northwestern tier Of
states and north Pacific coast regions. It's
influence ON other territory will be indirect.

A TRIPLE ALLIANCE,
Entered Into Between tho United States,
France and Russia.


France and Russia.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE correspond
ent of New York daily telegraphs to his
paper as follows: A triple alliance between
the United States, Russia and France. such
as an international combination of forces
for mutual benefit and defense, which has
been secretly pending for six years. and
which WAS unknown either in the diplo-
matte or the political world as large, cu!-
minated in executive session OF the United
States senate two DAYS ago. This is the
first public announcement of the weighty
meaning which lay behind the seemingly
unimportant and formal announcement
that tho extradition treaty with Russia had
been ratified. Within the past six mon this
two treaties, the only ones pending before
extradition treaties with Russia and France,
and it has been stated that their ratification
was of world wide Significance. In ratifying
these treaties the United States governments
received the distinct pledges, both orally.
through the Russian and French legations
liz Washington and by cor eepondence
through the department of state with the
70 eign Offices of those governments, of
their support by foroe if necessary against
any interference bv Germany, Great Brit
ain. or any other European power with the
maintainenee BY the United States of what
Is commonly termeQ bne monroe doctrine.
Tho publication of dispatches announc-
ing that there was hidden Significance in
the extradition treaty recently ratified by
the United States with Russia and France,
occasioned many inquiries of officials here
and of members of the senate who would
be in "a position TO know the facts. Careful
inquiries do not sustain the Interpretation
put Oh that treaty. 1t is asserted there
was no provision in either of the treaties
very widely differing from eytraaiiion
treaties negotiated with Great Britain, Ger
many and other rowers. None of the soma
tors who participated in the discussion of
these trenties have since publicly EXPRESSED
the opinion that the ratification would be
regarded by Pussia and France as n tacit
agreement Of the kind stated. 1t is pointed
out, however, although these views may
have largely influenced senators in their
ratification OF the treaty and though some
idea of the same kind may have been pres
ent in the minds of the high contracting
powers, there is considerable space sepa at
ing n renewal of friendly sentiments from
a negotiation for an offensive and defensive
pillanoe.
