WINGED A JAILRIRD.

An Attempt to Escape From Jail At Bill.
fngs Results Disastrously.
HELENA, Mon, Feb. Three high
waymen in Jail at Billings made q des-
perate attempt to escape and as conse-
quence one of them is now full of lead
and at the point of death and the other
two are safely behind the bars again.
The highway1nen are Bob Vestal, Ed
Moore and Martin Wilson. Moore had
secured slung shot made of the head
OF heavy wrench wrapped in an old
stocking, and while the jailor was un-
locking door struck him blow on the
top of the head that would doubtless
have been fatal but for the fact that he
wore heavy cap with a big button on
top. Moore and his pals at once got
the keys and went into the barnyard to
get horses and to make for the Indian
reservation. But Stoll regained his
presence of mind and at orce secured
his Winchester and boldly went for the
fugitlves, though he knew thew were
armed and desperate, and the blood was
flowing over his face in streams.
AS soon as he appeared in sight Moore
hred at him with big 6-shooter three
times. but without effect. Stoll replied
with three shots from his rife, and they
all took effect in Moore's body. The
firing had brought the sheriff and others
to the scene, and posse at once went
In pursuit of Vestal and Wilson. They
were soon overtaken and surrendered
without show of resistance. Moore is
SAID to be refugee from Texas. The
plucky jailor will be all right in few
DAYS.

Hesitation In Buying Bonds Due 70 .
Fear of Depreciation.
WASHINGTON. Feb. lit is said here
that the New York bankers have been
more interested in securing Secretary
Carlisle's opinion concerning the prob
able affect OF the proposed tariff legisla-
ton than concerning the adverse report
of the house judiciary committee upon
the bond issue. The bankers suggested
that if the Wilson bill should
become a law it would so re-
auce the revenues Of the government
that the treasury deficit will
not end with the present year, but tle.t
it is likely to continue one year after
another, and they are said to have ques-
toned Mr.. Carlisle at some length upon
the probabilities of the passage of the
bill. The law which appears to control
the New York fnanciers, is that if the
revenues are to be so cut as to render
probable the continued issue of bonds so
many of them would ultimately be
thrown upon the market as to depreciate
their vlaue and render it urwise to pay
the high premium put upon the $40
bonds by the terms of Mr. Carlisle's
proposition.

MR.. DOLE's REPLY.

Answer to Minister Willis Request For
Specifications Ready For Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The president,
1t is understood, will not send to con-
gress the latest batch of Hawaiian cor
respondence, which includes President
Dole's reply to Minister Willis, until
Friday: The probability is that the SEN
ate will not be in session on that day,
and so it will happen again, as in the
case of the last two installments of
Hawaiian information, that the message
will 60 to the house alone. This, how
ever, could only be avoided by breaking
in upon the tariff debate in the house,
which the president is unwilling to
do. He will wait the expira-
ton of the time set for vote
on the tariff bill before injecting another
exciting topic upon the attention of that
body. President Dole's reply has been
in the possession of the state department
since Saturday last. Those who have
been permitted to glance over it say it is
an exceedingly vigorous and pointed
document, about 1O.0 600 words in length.
Minister Willis in his letter of Dec. 81,
asked for seven specifications. Presi-
dent Dole gives him about 80. Most of
them, however, center round Mr.. Will
lis first inquiry.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-Lionel Green
berg, clerk in the pawnbroker shop of
his uncle, at 55 West Randolph street,
Chicago, arrived here, accompanied by
Detective William Plunkett, and was
given look at the three thieves arrested
here Saturday in the International bank.
He Immediately and positively recog-
nized Tom, alias Kid O'Brien as one Of
the men who on Jan. 8, bound and
gagged him and robbed his uncle's shop
of $4,000 worth of jewelry, etc. Jack
Neville, alias Dempsey, he partially
identified as one of the robbers It adj
dition to the robbery Greensberg's
OBrien and pair of confederates, still
at large, are badly wanted for several
jobs of the ''stick up variety. The
robbery, which is laid at the door of the
identified men, was one of the boldest of
its kind within the knowledge of the
police. The little girl and boy, whose
appearance frightened the thieves out of
Greenberg's, have also, by pictures,
identified O'Brien and Neville. O'Brien
is also wanted for jumping bail in a
case against him for robbing Frank
Goodeck of Chicago of $500, Jan. 81
1898, at the point Of revolver. He
also robbed a saloonkeeper named Effen-
stein, Jan. IA, 1893, of $500.

SEATTLE. Feb. 1.-The three trans
continental railroads which tap the
Puget sound country have signed q
treaty Of peace and have formed an al
lance to last one year from Feb. l..
There are to be no more rate wars and
no more competing lines to be built.
Parties to it are the Canadian Pacific,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
Each party has the right of terminating
it by three months notice and renewal
at the end of the year, all parties con.
senting. Both the Great Northern and
the Canadian Pacific will have through
lines between the eastern terminals and
Tacoma and Portland in con-
nection with the Northern Pa
cific and finally the Northern
Pacific will have through line over the
Great Northern coast lines and the
Canadian Pacific to and from Vancou-
yer. This disposes of the Canadian Pa
cif1c ditferentials and of rate cutting,
and relieves all parties of the need of
depending on steamer connections for
reaching any of the points reached by
any of the three roads, The agreement
puts an end to all prospect Of construc-
ton of any competing lines for the next
year at least.

Will Resign.
The Announcement to Be Made in
Letter to the Queen Before
Parliament Opens.
The Action Said to Be Due to His Age
and Disappointment Over Defeat
of Home Rule.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Pail Mall
Gazette declares that it learns from a
source in which it has every confidence
that Mr.. Gladstone has finally decided
to resign Office almost Immediately.
According to The Pail Mall Gazette
Mr.. Gladstone will announce his de-
cision in letter to the queen before the
reassembling of parliament. This de-
cision is said to be due to sense of his
advanced age and the great strain the
late arduous session imposed upon him.
Finally, it is said, Mr.. Gladstone is
deeply disappointed at the rejection of
the home rule bill.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that it is
understood that domestic pressure has
considerably influenced Mr. Gladstone

| LONDON, Feb. LIN naval, military
political and commercial circles here thu
journalistic achievement Of the Associ
ated Press in setting all conflicting ru
mors from Rio de Janeiro at rest by
obtaining an interview with the United
States commander, Rear Admiral Ben
ham, is heartily applauded.
At the admiralty, the foreign Office
and in other government departments,
the interview with Admiral Benham
was thoroughly discussed, and the att
tude assumed by the United States com
mander was warmly approved.
Newspaper Comment.
The St. James Gazette, commenting
on the Associated Dress interview with
Admiral Benham, says: The precions
Monroe doctrine seems to be construed
into allowing the United States alone to
interfere in South American affairs.
The Globe remarks: Admiral Da
CANA tried to bully Admiral Benham
and got the worst Of it. Events show
that Admiral Benham does not take the
same view of the affair as Lord Rose
berry.
The British secretary OF foreign affairs,
replying to correspondent, wrote that
he regretted the deplorable state of
affairs in Brazil, but said that the gov
eminent cannot depart from the general
policy of non-intervention in the affairs
of foreign nation. Lord Rose
berry added that the British naval
official at Rio de Janeiro was giving the
same protection to British subjects as
other foreigners were receiving from the
naval forces of their respective govern
ments.
Would BE At Variance,
Continuing, The Globe says if Wash
ington endorses Admiral Benham's &C
ton, England will be at direct variance
with the United States on vitality i'm
portant provision of international law.
The Exchange Telegraph company
says that dispatches have been received
in this city which appear to establish be-
yound doubt that Admiral Da Cana
proposed to surrender to Admiral Ben
ham, and that he would have done so,
had it not been for the fact that his Of
fcers refused to permit him to carry out
his intention.

An Extraordinary Case.
OSHKOSH, Wis, Feb. 1.-One of the
most extraordinary cases which ever
came to the notice of the medical fra
ternity of this city is that of the 2-year-
old child of Edward Marble, a machin-
ist residing on Fulton street. The child
has been suffering for some time from
what the attending physicians thought
to be an affection of the liver or stom.
ach. Its abdomen became swollen to an
enormous size and Monday burst, leav-
ing large orifice leading into the stom-
ach. This still remains open and the
interior of the stomach is exposed. as
well as the food which the child swal-
lows, so that the process of digestion
can be observed. There is, of course.
no hope for the child.
