There is some reason IN the argument
that not so much damage resulted by rea-
son OF the delay in getting water for the
Hotel North fire as would be thought at
first. By the time the firemen could get
the stream they knew exactly where to ap-
ply it. There was comparatively little
damage done by water.

Secretary Preuitt in an article con-

"The year just drawing to a close
will he handed down to history as the
banner cattle year in Montana"
Quoting from his books, Mr.. Preuitt
adds: "There was shipped from this
state this year 242, ,655 head of cattle,
and 10000 head have been slaughtered
and sold to Indian reservations, max
ing grand total of 3O6,655 head dis
posed of in 1894. The average price
received has been S25 head, making
the total receipts from the cattle in
dustry for the year $40, ,592, ,925. This
exceeds both in the number of cattle
and the amount received for them any
previous year in the history of the
critic business in Montana"

DEB's SENTENCE.

According to Judge Woods.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Judge woods to.
day decided that the Jail sentence ol
Debs and his six associates in the
Santa Fe case shall begin january 8.
On motion of Attorney Gregory for
the defense the Santa Fe and govern
ment case on which the sentences were
cumulative were separated, and
sentence on the latter deferred until
the Santa Fe sentence is served.
Appeal will be taken in the govern.
ment case. The defense asked that
the sentence be made cumulative in
stead of concurrent. There were two
cases in which the union men were
found guilty of contempt. government
and Santa Fe. Judge Woods entered
an order, which if carried out, will give
Debs one year in Jail instead of six
months and the others six months
instead of three. This point was
purely technical for the purpose OF
testing the legalityof both sentences
in the United States supreme court.

SENATORIAL VACANCIES.
Questions Affecting Montana, Wyoming and
Washington.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-Some
question has arisen as to whether the
senators to be chosen to fill vacan-
cies in Montana, Wyoming and Wash
ington can be elected upon the first
day the legislature meets, or whether
they must wait until the prescribed
day fixed for the election of senators
whose terms begin snortley. Senator
Dubois, of Idado, has been looking up
the matter for some friends i'm the
west, and has found that senator's
elected to ill vacancies must be elected
in precisely the same manner as those
to fill terms to expire in the near
future. This will prevent the election
of senator's to fill the vacancies until
the time when the regular senatorial
elections would occur. Another
matter which he acertained in looking
up the case was that when these sena-
tors are elected they will not draw
salaries until they qualify, which is
not the case in the election of senator's
elected for full terms. In the latter
case, whether they qualify on the 4th
of march or not, their pay begins then.
Idaho was admitted on July 3, and
the senators elected began drawing
pay from that date. Since then a
provision has been inserted in an
appropriation bill prescribing when
senators elected to fill the vacan-
cies shall begin to draw salaries.

REACHED A VERDICT.
Jury in the Jones Trial Are Ont Only Five

Yesterday afternoon the arguments

in this case must be regai ded as an

should make his official character

II an officer attacked a person with

A DEMOCRATIC WHINE.

No attention should be paid to any
thing emanating from Democratic
sources bearing on the senatorial con-
test. The Bozeman Chronicle, in
recent issue, attacks Power, Sanders
and Carter on their records in congress
and makes comparison with the SER
vices of Martin Maginnis, who was
known as Col. Broadwater's man at
the seat of national government. The
Chronicle makes some charges which,
if sified down to facts would amount
to nothing. The chief complaint seems
to be that some Gallatin county citi-
zens had lost fat snap in government
contracts OF were denied the privilege
of grazing their herds on certain Indian
reservations. If the Chronicles lament
in this regard has no more merit than
military posts, then its grievance is
weak indeed. 1t says:
Instead OF placing and maintaining
military posts for the benefit and pro-
lection OF the people of the state, they
have caused them to be localized
withdrawn from the various parts of
Montana, and placed at their own
door-steps, where there is no danger
from marauding Indians, and no end
gained save that of securing the ex-
penditure of the salaries of the officers
and men, for the support of the city
of Helena, which would appear to a
thinking man rather in the interest of
the few than OF the people of the whole
state"
When the war department ordered
the concentration or 'focalizing' of
military posts throughout the north
west it did a very sensible thing. In
fact the work has not progressed as fast
as it should. There is no need of Keogh
or Missoula as independent posts, and
they should be merged into Fort Harri-
son as soon as the latter post is COM
pleted. 1t is nonsense for the govern
ment to incur extra expense in main-
tanning these posts simply to aid or
hold up some town. Bozeman has been
mourning the loss of Fort Ellis for
several years when there WAS not half
the necessity for post at that point
that there was for a Keely institute,
as there was no more danger from In
dians than there was from those who
persisted in voting the Democratic
ticket, and perhaps not quite as much.
The day is past when local military
posts are required to protect the people
from Indian raids. In fact, the settlers
have felt secure for the past ten years
and have been able to put thieving In
dians to flight without the aid of troops.
One well manned and equipped post is
all Montana needs today. With our
telegraph and railroad facilities reach
ing a central point like Helena, troops
can be quickly placed in the field. 1t
would seem that the Chronicle was
trying to convert a mole hill into a
mountain in its editorial. But then,
Democratic organs must say something.
