LnwIsrowN. Fergus Co., Sept. Il, 81.
To the Honorable Board of County Com
missioners of Fergus County, State of
Montana.
GENTLEMEN: In accordance with our agree-
ment of August 18th, 1884, ! have carefully
examined all the books and ~accounts i'm the
office of the county treasurer with the result
rs set forth in II full report entered in the
book accompanying this condensed report.
Several clerical errors were found which
were small in number and amount, when it
is considered that the examination cover
II period of eight years, viz: from January
l, 1887, to September 1, 1894.
The treasurer's books had previously
been examined and checked up to March 1,
1890, and the reports of the examiners
were correct to that date.
In the general fund for h equarter ending
June /, 1880. there should nave been II
1890 ~ NV e'oh cooh VI @'o-Os oh
account Of rebate of taxes from the state
fund.
In the same fund. for the quarter ending
December I, 1898, two warrants, of $50
each, were entered on the credit side of cash
book as $40 each. making a difference of
$40.
On the other hand, in the same quarter,
the interest on warrants were $50 more
than as charged. and IL warrant for $3.50
WAS entered as SIS.
The net difference on thegeneral fund was
s130.o9, less S20.sO, or S1o9.29.
On poor fund two warrants, aggregating
S22.5O, were charged twice in the quarter
ending December 1, 1893.
On the general school fund an error in
addition makes II difference of Sc in ia vor
OF the treasurer.
The net difference on all funds was
S125.79 against the treasurer.
These errors have all been corrected by
the treasurer, as is shown by his report for
the quarter ending September l, 1S94
Therefore the cash on hand, as shown by
the examiners statement and report, is
the same as shown 10y the treasurer's re-
port.
On two very important points is shown
the care and efficiency of the treasurer dur
ing the eight years. First-Besides the
usual delinquent taxes collected within
three months after thedate taxes were due,
he collected as delinquent taxes SS.573.S1.
Second-Warrants have been called and
interest on the same stopped as soon AS
taxes were collected, and whenever there
was mon'y in the funds. This is shown as
follows:

The Senate,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The session of the senate was significant in two re- spects. Hoar introduced a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for his authority for the payment of Special Commissioner Blount for his Hawaiian services and Gray served no- tice that on Tuesday next the Demo- crats would insist on taking up the federal election bill and continue its consideration until the measure was finally disposed of.
 The object of Hoar's resolution is manifestly to call into question the right of the president to send per sonal commissioner to Hawaii or indeed any ny-commissioner without the concur renee of the senate and this object IS of course most effectively reached by de- manding the authority of the secretary of the treasury for the payment of Blount for his services and expenses. The notice of Gray indicates that the Democrats are determined to dispose of the federal election bill at an early day and before it can possibly be hampered by the tariff bill or any other party measures which might come over from the house demanding consideration through motives of party expediency. The bill will be taken up on Tuesday and continue to be the paramount question in the senate until it is finally disposed of.
 An interesting colloquy took place oyer the suggestion of Gray that the senate proceed to the consideration of the federal election bill. Senator Chandler asked whether this was merely for the purpose of allowing

A QUEER RAIN THEORY.
Perspiration from the Soldiers Given as 8
 Cause of Showers After Battle.

Perspiration from the Soldiers Given as 8
 Cause of Showers After Battle.
 A most extraordinary theory has re- gently been propounded, says the Bos- ton Globe, to show the reason why rain usually falls after a severe battle has been fought.
 The ancients used to attribute the phenomenon to the generosity of some diety who was kind enough to make the attempts to wash away the traces of mans degradation as soon as pos sible, and later on, when cannon came to be used as a means of destroying life, the detonations of these machines were said to cause the wonderful down., pour of rain.
 But more prosaic, up to date people Of to-day put it down to perspiration. And this is how they go to prove it:
 One soldier will, in the course of twelve hours fighting, give off six gallons of water. He drinks much. Thirst for gore, glory, and water go together on such occasions, and the total amount of moisture given off by one man is said to be sufficient to cover twelve square feet three-quar- ters of an inch deep.
 Now, of course, all this precipitation evaporates and goes up into the at mosphere. The atmosphere, becoming unduly charged with moisture. offers itself on the slightest provocation to the formation of clouds, and in nine cases out of ten rain falls immediately condensation sets in.

some senator to speak or for general consideration. "For a general con- sideration," said Chand fer, twill not be ready for some days ye. and I do not think it well, therefore to proceed with the consideration unless some senator specially desires to speak upon it today"
 My understanding was that the views of the minority might be pre- sented at any time," said Gray.
 *There are gentlemen on this side," interrupted Hoar, "Who desire to de- bate this bill at some length"
 'I have no doubt ot that" quietly retorted Gray. Laughter "I sup pose it will involve considerable debate on both sides and for that purpose 1 thought it would be we'll to take it up at an early day. So far as I am con- cerned I will consent to the suggestion of the gentleman from Massachusetts to postpone the consideration until Tuesday and now give notice that on Tuesday immediately after the morning business 1 will move the senate to pro- ceed to the consideration of the federal election bill and continue with it's con- sideration from Tuesday until 1t IS dis posed of."
 Dolph called up the bill to extend for three years the time of the Umatilla Irrigation company in the construction of an irrigating canal across an Indian reservation in the state of Oregon and it was passed without opposition.

PAUPER AND PRINCESS.
The Career of Pretty Carrie
 Sankey,
Who From an Inmate of a PennsyI- Vania Poornouse Becomes the
 ReireSS to a Million.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WIILIAMsPoRT, Pa., Jan. 4.-Caroline c. Sankey, formerly a pauper in Ly- coming county, but now an accom- plished belle, living at 1120 Twenty first street, San Francisco, with the family of Chas. scoggins, has just been declared the heiress of fortune of $1, 900, ,000. Samuel Sankey WAS pio- neer of lS49 and was known from one end of California to the other. He had one child, boy. In 1878 the toy was drowned while swimming in Mis- sion creek. The father and mother mourned him long and their minds be- came un balanced. Sankey posted of to Pennsylvania.
 Here he saw his little orphan niece and adopted Ter and took her to his lonely home. Sankey died possessed of 2,010 in money and Chicago real estate worth $l0,000 besides tsnnery in Nifinburg said to be worth $50.0 GOO and notes and judgment for over $9 900. 1 Before his death Caroline had found a friend in Chas. s. Scoggins cf Sen Francisco, and when Sankey's death came, Scoggins YVES appointed her guardian snd applied to Judge Coffv for l letters of administration on her adopted fathers estate. This application was com batted by John Sankey on behalf of Pennsylvania relaelves. Thus began Q long legal struggle which has just ended.
 Relatives who had ignored the girl when she was in want, suddenly be- came. overwhelming in fond for her. John Senkey made two trips to Call fornia, set detectives to watch the girl and tried to ahduct her. He followed her to Chicago where MT. Sccggins had gent her, and there pistols were drawn in dispute for possession Of the girl. Judge Coffey decided that Sankey's will WAS invalid because of the old fel- lows insanity and gave all the estate to the girl and allowed her $75 per month pending litigation.
 The relatives gave up the fight in California and transferred it to the courts of this state and again Caroline won. Then they tried the Illinois courts for the Chicago property. The lower court decided n the girls favor. Now news comes that the court of last resort in Illinois has sustained the low CT court and pretty Carrie Sankey still has fortune of $1 ,000, ,000 all in her own right.

 Demand. The Government Stands
 Firm.
The Queen Accepts Growers
 Plan of Restoration.
The Hawaiian Government How. ever Will Recognize Only the
 Authority of Congress.
1891, by the Associated Press.

Copyrighted 1891, by the Associated Press.
 AUCKLAND, N. E., Jan. 4.-Advices from Honolulu December 22, have been received here by the steamer Alameda, just arrived from San Francisco. Off, cers of the vessel stated to an Asso- ciated Press correspondent that the ex- citement at Honolulu over the political situation is growing in intensity.
 The provisional government is as firm as ever in it's determination to maintain it's position and is completing preparations to resist any effort which might be made to restore the monarchy. Memb mbers of the police force of the island have been notified that they would be expected to take up arms in defense of the government and a num- Der have been dismissed for refusing to obey the order.
 The minister of the United States had written the provisional government requesting a surrender of the offices, saying that the United States had de- cided in favor of restoration of the queen. The minister informed the gov ernment that Liliuokalani had agreed to grant amnesty to all who had taken part in the revolution, to ratify the ob: ligations of the presen. government and to govern faithfully in accordance with ths present constitution. The govern ment was preparing a long reply to the minister.
 The Commercial Advertiser at Homo lulu, In an article supporting the gov ernment, declares that the United States congress had taken the matter out of President Cleveland's hands by calling for the papers in the Hawaiian correspondence and it asserts that the provisional government will not retire from power unless compelled by force and says it is not likely that force vii be employed.
 Temporary repairs are being made on the Canadian and Australian steam ship company's steamer Miowera whicf was stranded at Honolulu last October and she will proceed to San Francisco

The Hawaiian Investigation.

The senate subcommittee of the con- mittee on foreign relations resumed the investigation of the Hawaiian situation this morning. Professor Alexander was again the only witness present and his examination continued on the line be- gun yesterday.
 He devoted much time to relating the details of the revolution of January and explaining the active part taken by the American minister and the troops of the United States and showed con- clusively, to his own mind at least, that the revolution was entirely independ- ent of the official influence of this country. Senator Butler, who had not been present at any previous meeting, was especially interested at the nara tive of Mir. Alexander and asked many questions concerning the people and all races on the islands. All were an swered to the apparent satisfaction of the senator.
 The understanding now is that the inquiry will be pushed to as speedy conclusion as possible in the interest oi thoroughness. It is possible time may be asked to send to Hawaii for wit neeses and it is hinted that Jones, who sastened away toward Honolulu on the fafternoon of his appearance before the committee goes largely as a messenger of the senate foreign relations commit tee to request the attendance of per sons now on the islands to appear be fore the committe. In that event the committee will not be able to repor l before some time in February.

TRUMBULL'S TASK.
To Meet the Denver 6 Gulf In-
 tereSt Account.
A Prospect of the Early ReConsoli- dalton of the Gulf and
 Union Pacific.

By the Associated Press.
 OMAHA, Jan. 4.-There IS 8 more gen. eral feeling prevalent among the higher officials of the road that the Union Pacific will be able to get possession of the Denver & Gulf in the near future. It is well known fact that Receiver Trum bull, of the Denver & Gulf. has not asked that the interest on the con solidated bonds, due in December and January, be paid and in consequence, the talk of foreclosure becomes of sig nifcance at this time in view of the position the stockholders have taken toward united instead of segregated system.
 An examination of annual reports shows that in 1891 the Denver & Gulf failed to earn enough money to meet it's interest account by $466, ,O6914, and for 1892 failed to earn interest charges by $379, ,454.90. These amounts were made up to the Gulf Co.,, by the Union Pacific Co.,, under 8 traffic agreement which the attorneys seem to consider not now binding on the receivers of the Union Pacific and which in con- sequence removed a source of great re- venue from the Gulf people. With this traffic agreement cancelled as it now seems likely Receiver Trumb bull will be conf onted with a problem that has bothered wise heads for generations how to get blood out of turnip.
 About Union Pacific headquarters there is a more contented fleeing than has been discernible for several weeks past and officials will patiently bide their time willing to give Trumbull all the latitude possible to realize the in- terest charges above operating ex- expenses.
