MESHES OF RED TAPE.
Trials and Tribulations of the Owner

in the Custom-House.
Plato White, Los Angeles physi-
clan, has been SO tangled up in the
Custom house red tape the last few
days that he was almost in despair
of ever freeing himself. He arrived
from Honolulu on Tuesday with a
two -months-o japanese pug pup.
In accordance with the rules of the
ship the animal had been taken in
charge by the purser, who inadver-
tently entered it on the ships mani
fest. This should not haye been
done, as pet dogs are allowed to
enter duty free. But the pup was
listed nevertheless, and it would re-
quire an order from the Collector of
the Port to get it from the customs
officials.

went to the Deputy Surveyor and
told him my case. He advised me
to hire customs broker who would
know the ropes employed H. B.
Thomas, and together we went to a
Deputy Collector. He referred us
to Special Deputy Collector Jerome.
Mr.. Jerome made out free delivery
permit for the dog, but said he could
not sign it till the Appraiser had en-
dorsed it with the statement that
that bowling little pup had no COM
mercial value. We went to the APP
praiser and described the dog. He
wrote note to Mr.. Jerome saying
he knew something about dogs and
it was his opinion that the dog had
no commercial value. We went from
the Appraisers building to the Gus
tom house with this. Mr.. Jerome
refused to accept the note as an OIL
cial notification. He sent us back to
have the statement properly written
on the delivery permit. The APP
( praiser did not want to give this
statement till he was officially mott
fed as to the pups actual value, and
detailed Special Examiner Mcguire
to go to the docks and examine into
the dogs value.

labors were finished. The examiner
reported to the Appraiser that the
dog was OF no commercial value,

Speaking of the silver question
the Anaconda Standard has this to
say: "Meanwhile there is duty
before the people of the west. The
legislature of every western state
should memorialize congress in re-
gard to free coinage as Governor
Richards has already recommended to
the Montana Legislature. Further
than this, every citizen of a silver
producing state should sign MEM
orial of the same nature to be for
warded to congress. Those opposed
to free silver are already at work and
are directing their influence to the
repeal of the present law requiring a
monthly purchase of silver by the
government. There should not only
be a strong opposition to this move,
ment, but the campaign for free
coinage should also be begun and
prosecuted from now on without ces'
| sation."

in the Walls of Columbia
College.

New York, Jan. 24.-In the Co
lumbia college School of Mines
there has been established within the
very walls of the building for the
last two weeks a gambling den.
Roulette was the popular game, and
as many as three and sometimes four
wheels have been running at one
time. The wheels had little the
best of the odds and many students
have lost money who could not af-
ford to. The gambling might have
gone unnoticed for some time to
come had it not been for a row over
a game which occurred Wednesday
afternoon. The news of the row
reached the faculty and its true
cause was learned. Supt. Darling
swooped down on the gamesters
yesterday and caught several of
them. He took; their names and
they are now waiting in fear and
trembling to learn what the dean
will do about it.

"Well, so do we; we also need it

Death by Giant Powder.

Coroner Hanson was called to
Maiden Monday afternoon to hold
an inquest over the remains of Oscar
Wigraen, who lost his life by an ex-
plosion of giant powder. At the
time of the accident, which occurred
about noon, Wigraen and another
miner were at work in shaft on the
Iron Age property in Snow Shoe
gulch, owned by NJ. l.. Poland.
Wigraen had ascended from the
shaft and taken a stick of giant
powder and was warming it for a
blast before quitting work for dinner,
when report was heard by his com
panion below. When the latter
reached the top he found Wigraen
lying on the ground in great agony
and started at once for assistance.
The unfortunate man was taken to
his cabin and his injuries examined.
It was found that his right leg was
broken, his eyesight destroyed, a
blood vessel broken in his arm, be-
sides numerous other injuries. Death
releayed him of his suffering at !
o'clock in the evening.-Argus.

Methods.

TORONTO, Jan. 24-The commits
sion appointed to investigate the
charge of treason preferred against
J. j. Cosgrove, deputy collector Of
inland revenue for this port, has held
its final sitting here. Cosgrove is
charged with enrolling himself as
member of annexation organization
and under suspension. E. "A. Mac
Donald, one of the leaders of the an
nexation movement, was examined
but he refused to produce the docu-
ment alleged to be:r Cosgrove's sig
nature or answer questions relating
to it on the ground that it mi ght

When asked why he thought the
evidence bearing upon the annexa-
ton agitation might tend to inerim-
mate him, Macdonald said that any
thing not in accord with the views of
ministers of the crown could easily
be tortured into criminal offense.
He will be deprived of his commits
sion as an officer of the militia with.
out court martial or any kind OF
hearing and without any notice for
delivering an address before the
Boston Merchants association.
Col. Denison, the police magistrate
before whom he would have to APP

treason, has declared publicly that
the advocacy Of political union was
a crime. While he (MacDonalD de-

the prosecution by making unneces-

dence taken by the commissioners
will be submitted to the minister o

"Your memorialists, the third legi-
slative assembly of the state of Mon
tana, believing that gold and silver
are the constitutional money metals,
and for nearly a century maintained
by just and wise laws upon parity
with each other, and believing that
all legislation tending to debase
silver as an equal with gold has been
destructive of the prosperity of our
country and the whole people; and
believing that the creditor class of
our people have received too much
consideration at the hands of con-
gress in demonetizing silver and de-
stroying the large portion of the cur
rency of our country, thereby doubl-
ing the value of gold and increasing
it's purchasing power without increas-
ing its power to pay obligations al
ready contracted; and believing that
much of the stringency in the money
market and many of the financial
and business failures in these pros
porous times of peace are due to this
unwarranted contraction of the cur
rency to a single standard of gold
basis; and believing, further, that
much of the distress of the poor clas-
ses is directly tracable to the de-
monetization of silver and a contrac-
ton Of our currency, while the popu-
lation and commercial interests are
expanding rapidly, and requiring an
increase of circulation medium rather
than contraction; and believing
further that the business interests OF
our country demand greater vol
ume of gold and silver as circula-

unbounded faith in the power and
ability of the United States to main

A few weeks ago, says the Lewis

such as to arouse the indignation of
our citizens. We not only called
attention to the state of affairs
through the columns of the Argus
but wrote number of personal let
ters explaining the situation more
fully. Postmaster Gray of this
place, also exerted himself to correct
the evil. 1t will also be seen by the
letter copied below that Senator

matter, and that all cause for COM
plant is now removed:
|. WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dee. 81, 1892.
Sir: Referring to your letter of
December "a, 1892, relative to ''star''
service in Fergus county, Montana,
and vicinity, and inclosing a clip
ping from the Helena Herald on the
same subject, | have the honor to in
form you that up to the time that
railway mail service was established
between Great Falls and Arlington,
Mont, the star service between Bill
ings and Great Falls was six times a
week over the whole longth of the
route, but as the railway service be-
tween Great Falls and Aamington
was to run three times week the
star service between said points was
reduced to three times a week, and
a schedule arranged to run on alter
nate days with the railroad. Since
the receipt of your letter information
has reached this Office that the rail
road is only performing twice a
week service, and that they have re.
fused to carry anv but letter mail on
the trains, leaving the paper mail fol
the stage to carry. This is evident.
ly the reason for the irregularities
complained of by you correspond
ents, and by the citizens Of Fergus
county generally. A telegram sen
to the railroad officials elected the
information that they could not say
when the triweekly service woulo
be resumed and as the department
has no authority to compel the rail
way company to run trains more fre
quently than they desire, an ordel
has this day been issued restoring
six times a week service on the stal
route between Great Falls and Arm
ington, and it is hoped this actor
will remedy the evil. In this con
nection it may be proper to state
that deductions are made from the
pay of the railroad company for an,
service they may fail to perform
