uneasiness at the treasury and the most
careful inspection of every warrant
drawn for expenditures. The payment
of the sugar bounties, which will in
crease the demands at New Orleans, is
declared to be like drawing teeth in the
present state of the treasury balance,
and these warrants are being delayed
as far as the circumstances will permit.
The claims for bounty already presented
during the past six months have been
S4,O14,7 79. but the payments thus far
have been only SAGA ,74s, of which S147,-
6s2 has been paid on cane sugar, $212,-
434 on beet sugar and S1o4,1 O4 on maple
sugar. Expenditures for public build
ings and river and harbor improvements
are far behind and the only explanation
Secretary Carlisle is likely to make to
the senate resolution of inquiry on the
subject is that the payment of such APP
sropriations would bankrupt the treas
dry and destroy the public credit.

Cinnamon at Butte Preparing to Be
Photographed.
DON LENS FRIENDS READY
Several Highbinders Said to BE in Butte
Who Are Trying to Keep Celestials
From Registering.

BUTTE, Jan. 15.-Don Len, the Chris
tanned Chinaman, against whom the
highbinders issued a proclamation a
few days ago, in which they threat
ened to kill him for his alleged assist
ance in enforcing the Geary law, to-
gether with six or eight of his friends
sat for their pictures a few days ago
and expected to have them taken so
that they could register, but the photog-
rapher left the plates in pan of water
in his gallery over night ard they were
a solid cake of ice in the morning.
Don Len and his followers are anx-
ious to register, for they say they in
tend to remain in this country as long
as they live. They have renowned the
Chinese religion and are entirely indie
pendent of the six companies.
The other Cinnamon of the city will
make no move to register until they re-
celve instructions from headquarters.
Most of them are not opposed TO regis
tering, but they will not do anything
until they receive their orders. The
| Chinese consul general is expected to
arrive in San Francisco today, and it is
said that he will issue a proclamation
ordering all loyal subjects of the en-
peror to register. Don Len says that
there are some highbinders in Butte
who will not register, as they cannot
take the required oath or get any one
to swear for them. He does not know
how many highbinders there are here,
but he says there are quite few of
them.
Don Len is satisfied now that it was
the highbinders who posted the procla-
nation notifying him that he was going
to be torn to pieces and then boiled,
and he believes that they were in ear
nest. He has some friends working on
the case and expects to find out just
who posted the notice in a short time.
If he discovers who the guilty parties
are he will have them arrested and
prosecuted. Don Len does not like the
highbinders and after the registration
period expires he and his friends will
put the officers onto all who have not
registered, SO that they can be sent
back to China. In San Francisco the
highbinders are tearing down notices
notifying the Chinese to register and
kicking up general rumpus, and Don
Len saws thew would be last as bad ia
Butte if there were more of them.

A Chicago Crook and His Pal Working a
Novel Game-A Bad Mistake.
Hard times are driving ''fakers" to
adopt peculiar schemes. The latest
wrinkle" for making money, as des-
cribed by the New York Herald, is a
novel one. Two we'll dressed men will
enter barroom in which crowd are
drinking. One of them will approach
the crowd and beg little attention.
After removing child's bank, which
contains a number of pennies, from
under his coat and placing it on the bar,
he will then explain to the assemblage
that he is a thoroughbred American and
that short time ago he had an argu-
ment with a bigoted Englishman on
Yankee generosity and that in mo-
ment of enthusiasm, he made a wager
with the Briton that Notwithstanding
the hard times he could take child's
bank and go around and beg enough
pennies to fill it inside Of forty-eight
hours. $50 far" says he, 81 have been
very successful and have not the slight
est doubt that will win the English
mans money, which will give to some
charitable cause"
After this speech he will tell the crowd
that his companion is the very man with
whom he has made the bet, and that he
is following him to see that he begs every
cent of the money. The two men are
old.time takers, one of. them being
known as English Jack" The other
fellow, who acts as spokesman, is a
Chicago man, and is well known to the
police of that city. They have been

and have been very successful. The
other night English Jack" met with
misfortune. The two were operating
in an east side barroom which was
crowded with young Irish-Americans,
who detest prejudiced Englishmen. At
ter the spokesman had explained his
case and reaped harvest, the game
fell upon English Jack" and, If Il
hadn't been for the timely arrival Of
several policemen the Britisher would

EVERYBODY SIGNING 1T.
Montana's Protest Against Free Wool
VIII Be a Big One.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 15.-Several of the
most prominent sheep men of Northern
Montana are circulating the following
protest, and signatures are being at
tached thereto with eagerness:
To the Honorable, the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the
United States:
The undersigned citizens of Montana
respectfully petition your honorable
body that the present duties upon for
eign wool and mutton be not removed
or reduced. They represent that lower
cost Of prodution in foreign countries
cannot be met in unrestricted competi-
ton by domestic industry as conducted
under existing conditions, and the pro-
posed abolition of duties upon wool and
mutton would work disaster and des'
truction to large and important bust
ness in this state. The effect of this
proposed injurious legislation may be
appreciated by consideration of the f. CT
that freight charges on wool from Mon
tana TO the Seaboard markets are 5OO
per cent. higher than ocean rates on
foreign wool from London to Boston
that wages paid to employees are double
the compensation paid TO similar labor
in foreign countries; that the cost of
supplies is greater in Montana than in
! foreign lands producing woods of COM
peting grades; and that the rate of In
terest on money is higher than in for
eign countries. The fockmasters of
Montana protest against the injustice
of measure which contemplates unre-
stricted foreign competition in wool and
mutton-the products which they sell
while tariff duties are maintained upon
nearly everything they are compelled
to buy.

DEcENNIAL OF MISERY.
That Is What Is Feared Among Ohio
Idle Miners.

Idle Miners.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 16.-The state con-
vention of miners at Columbus is await

TALLY employed miners in the state are
now in distress. A differential of
cents between the Pennsylvania and
Ohio districts prevails by agreement,
the rate being 20 cents per ton in this
state and 70 in Pennsylvania. The rate
at Plttsburg for months has been from
50 to 65. In the Hooking valley and
Ohio districts the 20 cent rate has been
maintained, but the operators could
not meet Pittsburg prices with margin
of to II cents against them, and their
men have been idle. The dead work
costs more in Ohio districts. The opera
tors will ask the convention to reduce
the rate from 20 to Sc cents, but Presi
dent Nugent says many of the dele
gates are instructed, and it may be
difficult to meet the rate prevailing in
Pittsburg districts with the usual diff

STEAL A CRIMINALS BODY.
Sensation In Ottumwa, Iowa, Which the
Grand jury May Investigate.

Granu Jury May lhNesblSAtos
OTrUMwA, Iowa, Jan. 15.-Discovery
that the remains of Frank Johnson,
who was hanged in this city by mad
dened residents for a criminal assault
on four-year-old child, was not in the
grave has created a sensation. The
man was Swede, and though he was
without doubt guilty the residents of
that nationality insisted that he be
given a decent burial. The undertake
ers, Harmed & Sullivan, claimed that
they had buried him Dec. 81, but the
board of health learned that several
bodies had been shipped by the firm out
of the city without the proper permit
from the board of health. They started
an investigation into the matter which
resulted in the arrest of Sullivan for vi
olating the city ordinance in regard to
the issuance of permits. He was sub
sequently released. In some manner
they became suspicious that one corpse,
which had been shipped to Iowa City
under the name of Styx, was none 9TH
er than the body of Johnson, and caused
the grave of Johnson to be opened. A
box was found filled with straw. Harmed
and Sullivan claim that they buried
Johnson properly and that some one
'snatchedu the body. A great many
give credence to their story, but they
will not explain who Styx was, uor any
thing about him. The certificate ac-
companying the remains of Styx was
signed by physician who disclaims all
knowledge of person of such name.
1t is evident that the public is not yet
in possession Of the truth, and when
the grand jury takes hold of the matter
as it probably will at the next sitting
some prominent persons are likely tC
be indicted.

POISONED BY HAM AND EGGS.
Twelve Cases, One of Them Dangerous,
Reported in "A Hosiery.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 15.-Over one. dozen
persons were poisoned by eating ham
and eggs at the Hotel Goddard We'd
nesuay morning. The matter was kept
quiet until today, when the symptoms
of at least one of the victims became
alarming. Among the patients is Nssla,
the Midway Plaisance dancer, who,
with the rest of the troupe, has been
stopping at the hotel. She is slowly
recovering. Miss Anna Jackson of
Bowling Green, Missouri, is in pre-
carious condition. She is in St. Louis
for the purpose of studying shorthand.
Everyone who ate the ham was taken
sick, while those who avoided 1t escaped.
Miss Nunnelly, stenographer, had a
narrow escape from death and a Miss
Wise was taken violently sick. The
case is mysterious and the only plaus.
ible explanation is that the ham must
have been impure.

DENVER, Jan. IA committee of
Santa Fee railroad employees from La
Junta, Colo, informs Governor Waite
that the engineers, conductors, brake
men, switchmen and trackmen of all
grades on the Western division of the
road have received no salary since last
october, and many of the men and their
families are on the verge of starvation.
The wages for November and December,
they say, have been promised at differ
ent times, but in every instance the pay
has failed to come. The last date named
by the management at Topeka was Jan.
10. The day passed and no pay came.
The men have exhausted their credit
with local merchants and as the rail
road company has stopped supplying
coal to its employees, many families are
suffering from cold as we'll as hunger.
Governor Waite laid the matter before
Judge Hallett today, and the judge de-
cided to present the matter by letter to

WHOSE CHILD is sHE7
A Strange Case of kidnapping Reported
From Cleveland.

from OltNeldhO.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. ia queer case
is attracting the attention of the au-
thorities here. A man named Richard
Hanson, claiming to live in Buffalo, Sc
cured possession by habeas corpus of
4-year-old child whom he called Ella
Hanson. Toe girl was living with
widower named John Benoit. Hanson
claimed that his wife, who deserted
him a year ago, had lived here with
Benoit, and that when she died a month
ago the body was shipped to Buffalo
under the name of Mrs. Benoit, her
child being left here. The little one
was taken into court on writ of habeas
corpus. After a hearing Hanson was
given the custody of her, and he left, as
he said, to so to Buffalo. Now he de-
clares that the girl is his own daughter
Ella, and not Hanson's child; that he
never lived with Mrs. Hanson; that he
never before heard Of Hanson, and that
it was his own wife's body which was
sent to Baffalo. Benoit says his child
has been kidnapped, aud he has re-
quested the Buffalo police to arrest the
man. A dispatch from Buffalo states
that no such man as Richard Hanson is
known there.
