The Eastern Wool Buyers Present p.
Kelly with a Gold Watch.
Thursday afternoon P. Kelly, the pop
ular agent Of the Great Northern rail
way. was down at the wool warehouse
vigilantly experimenting the loading of
the staple article Of which Great Falls
is the great central market Of Montana.
While thus busily engaged E. P. May,
the ~well-known wool buyer, informed
himthat his presence was needed on the
platform. Mr.. Kelly fastened there
dreading that some great catastrophe
was going to overwhelm him. On his
arrival he found the wool buyers in a
group, and Mr.. May, in his usual happy
manner, addressed him: "Mr. Kelly, on
behalf OF the eastern wool burgers now
present in Great Falls l have been com
missioned to present you with this gold
watch as a slight token Of the esteem in
which these gentlemen, as we'll as my
self, hold you for the courteous treat
ment you have accorded us during the
wool shipping season 0 drawing to a
close Mt the same time handing the
surprised gentleman a magnificent gold
watch OF the finest make.
The feeling Of Mr.. Kelly on receiving
this hand somepresept can be more readi-
ly imagined than described. His emotion
was perfectly visible as be answered:
Gentlemen, I don't know what to say.
l am entirely overcome with the sudden
ness Of the affair, and surprised at your
munificence. l don't know how l have
deserved this, l have only dono my duty.
| am no speechmaker, but l will tell you
boys, l feel very proud Of this token of
your esteem, and shall never have cause
to forget how kind you have always
treated me-" Mr.. Kelly concluded
amidst exclamations by the woolmen:
"YOu're all right. p. X"

lowing gentlemen:

WESTERN RANGE CATTLE.
Never Was There ~ Better Season for
Stock Growing In Montana.

Never Was There n Better Season for
Stock Growing in Montana.
The Chicago Drover's Journal Of July
%, says the first range cattle from the
northwest arrived today. being one week
later than the first arrivals last year.
Northern ranchmen do not entertain the
hope that prices for their cattle will
reach the average secured last year for
similar qualities, but on account Of the
general quality being much better it lie
expected that the difference in the con-
dition of the market may be we'll coun-
terbalanced. Never has there been q
better season for stock growing in
Montana than the present one.
Copious rains have created an
abundance Of grass and cattle have
waxed fat on ii in a surprisingly rapid
manner. The condition Of the range
cattle this year is 30 much better than
last that there is hardly any comparison.
As the season advances the cattle will
improve IL the weather is favorable so
that there is not likely to be much CON-
plant from the ranchmen this year.

ABOUT ALASK 4.
1t Is "a Pretty Good Country to Stay Away
From.

~
From.
George Perry returned Monday from
his trip to Alaska thoroughly disguised
with that country and convinced that
Montana is about the best place in the
United States for a man to stay in, says
the Neihart Miner OF July &c.
He spent the most of his time at Ju-
neau but went up the Yukon as far as
Forty mile creek but was unable to find
any desirable feature Of the cou ntry.
At Forty mile creek he says that there
are about 450 men at work and that out
Of that number there are not more than
fifty who are making more than q living
and that these fifty are not making more
than from SO to 81 per day. The others
are all anxious to get out of the country,
but most Of them have no means to 60
anywhere.
In working the gravel only from six
inches to a foot is washed, ss the frost
prevents going any deeper. Bedrock
has never been reached, and Mr.. Perry
says it never will be, as the frost makes
1t impossible to either get the ground
out or to work it after it is out. The
frost is estimated to be down from thirty
five to forty feet, although the bottom
has never been reached.
While going up the Yukon and at Ju-
neau he met quite a number Of men re-
turning on foot or any way they could
get back, who were anxious to return to
the states. A man going there will stay
until what money he has runs out and
then he has to get out OF the country or
~starve, for there is very little chance for
anyone TO get employment.
Seattle, Tacoma, and other coast towno
are very dull and ell through Washing
ton the same condition Of affairs seems
to exist.

tons each, q turret ship Of $3.50 tons
three deck-protected cruisers of 2,3O(
and $500 tons, four torpedo cruisers, 9
torpedo f%1otilla, and eleven gunboats Of
from 1926 to 44O tons.
The Foochow squadron consists of ter
cruisers Of from 1,4OO to 2,4sO tons, three
g~unboats, nine dispatch boats and three
revenue cruisers.
The Shanghai Flotilla consists of an
armored frigate Of 2,63O tons, a gunboat
six floating batteries Of wood and three
transports.
In the Canton Flotilla there are three
deck-protected cruisers and thirteen
gunboats.
The naval strength Of the country may
be summed up as follows, according to
the classification used in the statesmen
year book: Battleships, n first class,
one second class and three third class;
nine port defense vessels; cruisers, nine
second class, twelve third class A and
thirty five B; torpedo boats, two first
class, tw~enty.six second class, thirteen
third class and two smaller boats.
The army Of japan is organized on the
system Of CONSUMPTION. All males Of the
age Of 20 years are liable to serve in the
standing army for seven years, of which
three years must be spent in active
service and the remaining four years in
the reserve army.
After quitting the reserve the soldiers
form part of the landwehr, or emergency
army, for another five years; and every
male from II to 30 years of age, who is
neither in the line, the reserve nor the
landwehr, must hold himself in readi-
ness to Join the landstrum, or militia, in
times of national emergency.
The army is composed Of the imperial
guard and six divisions. In 1892 there
were in the imperial guard two brigades,
or four regiments Of infantry, one squad
ron Of cavalry, one regiment of artillery,
and one company Of engineers, in all
6,29I officers and men with 40 field guns
and 55S horses.
The six divisions form a total of 3D.
925 officers and men. Including miscel-
laneous detschments Of soldiery, the
total strength Of Japan in time of peace
is 1862 officers, 52,441 noncommissioned
officers and men, 314 field guns, l56
mounted guns and S,79l horses. There
are besides six battalions OF gendarmes.
comprising l,05S officers and SO horses,
and four battalions of yeomanry with
1890 officers and men. The reserve has
a strength Of 99,55i, and the landwehr of
99,176.
The Nitrate rife, a weapon of native
invention. is generally used in the army.
The Japanese naval fleet is a purely
defensive one. 1t consists OF five arniored
cruisers, four iron and one wood, nine
second class cruisers, ranging from 1000
to 5000 tons, and % third-rate wooden
cruisers. There is also a torpedo fotilla
Of one first class and 30 second class tor
pedo boats.

Their Fighting strength.

Now that there is a likelihood OF a
war between China and Japan the pub
lie is anxious to know something of the
lighting strength of the two nations.
Chiua's army is composed Of about
100000 men. First Of all, there is the
imperial army, called the Eight Ban
ners' and numbering 323,SOO men. This
army ls made Of Manchus, Mongols and
Chinese. The emperor has a bodyguard
Of 100 men, picked from the imperial
army, and only once a year are the other
forces permitted to enter the Forbidden
City. Then the emperor reviews and
banquets the troops.
The Ying Ping, or national army, is
made up OF 6,459 officers and $4,000
privates. This body is similar to our
federal army. Captain Norman in his
book, "Tonquin,' says that many Of
these troops are armed with the Mauser
rifles and possess a liberal supply Of
Krupp field cannon. The men are OF a
hardy race, and those who are not given
Mauser rifles are armed with Reming-
tons.
The army is divided into three corps.
and In connection with the militia can
mustef q force Of 100000 men without
trouble. The infantrymen are paid from
shillangs to 10 shillings a month and 5
the cavalrymen 81. The latter are re-
quired to feed their horses out Of this
money, and in case a cavalryman loses
his horse in battle or through the death
Of the animal he 10 expected to replace it
ct bis own expense.
Within fifteen years China has &C.
quirsd Q laxge feet Of vessels and many
Of her ships are powerful, having been
built In Europe, several in England. The

THREE-FOURTHS INSURANCE.

to Rates.

What Utah and Montana May y ~
to Rates.
Salt Lake Tribune, July %: There is
a strong probability that every dollar Of
fire insurance carried in Utah and Mon
tana will be cut down by the o-called
three-fourths loss clause to be enforced
by the Pacific Insurance union. The
matter is undergoing consideration at
the Pacific Insurance union meeting in
San Francisco. and Capt. Donnell, sur
veyer Of the union for this district, said
last evening that he expected to receive
full Instructions in the matter by today's
or tomorrow's mail.
This clause has already been applied
to all Idaho insurance policies. II was
put out as a feeler and, it is claimed,
met with practically no opposition from
the insured. The companies represented
in the union have for a long time past,
they say, done business in that state at
an loss, and the enforcement
OF the new rule, by which the companies
will moi be liable for a greater sun in
case Of fire damage than three-fourths OF
the loss, or three fourths Of the policy or
policies, in case the loss is not fully COW
cred, was decided upon as the only
means Of recouping losses and decreas-
ing the moral hazards, as we'll az the
financial risks, without increasing the
rates.
Another reason for the proposed &C.
ton is said to be disposition on the part
of the various municipal governments in
this region, in order to reduce expendi-
lures, to cut the fire departments down

The TRIBUNE would impress upon the
farmers of Cascade county in particular
and Montana in general the importance
of putting up all the hay they can in
good shape. Accounts from Nebraska,
ksnsas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Missouri say that the hay crop in
those states will fall short Of the sverags
lin some instances the yield will not be
more than 10 Per cent Of lest year. There
will no doubt be . great demand fpr hay
from those states, and Montana farmers
should be prepared TO supply them with
an Al article OF baled hay.

FULL OF BEAUTY.

Here's the beauty of the Misunderstanding
far and far away.
And the tinkling of the dewdrops on the dai-
sizes every day
And the sun is growing brighter as it streams
from east 10 west,
And the heart is growing brighter and the love
is growing best
Here's the singing of the mocking birds why
when the day amt bright
They keep their mellow music and they sing
to you at night
And the groves become allglOrious, and the
hills assume light
That is splendid for the singing of the mock
ing birds at night
Here's the greening of the NAPLES, with their
twinkling, tinkling leaves,
And the silk worm with the beauty and the
wonder that he weayes.
And heres your lady's dresses" and the
spider webs like milk,
And the whole world is in purple, and in scar
let, and in silk
Oh, the world is growing brighter, no matter
how it rolls
The sunshine is streaming whittier through
million, trillion souls
And there's nothing like tie present, and
there's nothing Ike the past,
And its all so mighty pleasant that we wish
that life would last.

grave maladies here hinted at, and who feel
that they owe it to humanity to warn the

Under the Mckinley tariff the price Of
wool declined sixty per cent. The new tar
ia law-putting wool on the free list-has
had the effect Of advancing the price Of DO
mestic wool, and prices will continue to ad-
vance as mills, 50 long in idieness, renew
operations because they can get foreign
wools to mix with the domestic without the
onerous import duties. All this means
