Butte. oct. 2t,-rwO big and onthusi-
astic elcua-for-the-capltAl meetings
were held In this city tonight-one Mt
the auditorium. which was addressed
by Attorney James Forbis. OF this city;
Judge Mcconnell and Lieut., Gov, Bot
kin. The other meeting was held In
Centerville and was addressed by J.
NJ. Clements and c. g. Newman. Bot
halls were filled. on the platform OF
the auditorium were number of
Butte's leading citizens. Mr. Forbls
made the first address and clearly dis
proved the claim OF Anaconda. that
Butte was solid for that town, and he
predicted that this city would give
majority for Helena.
Mr.. Botkin delivered one OF tho
strongest arguments yet heard In this
city. lie showed that the capital ilght
was not between Helena and Ana
conda. but between the Anaconda COM
pany and the people Judge McCon-
nell said that n IL were not for the Ana
conda company there would be no con-
test, for the people OF Anaconda ala
not want the capital, IL IL had not
been for the Anaconda company Butte
would now be HelenaB competitor, ana
"A more dangerous one II would have
been. He said that for campaign pur-
poses the Anaconda company was pay
ing on mortgages on Butte churches
and on the halls OF secret societies. The
Judge recounted the Stop thiefr busl-
ness OF the Anaconda company In re-
gard 10 alleged fraudulent registration.
and said that since the correspondence
on that subject between the two COM
mittees had been made public he had
learned that many OF the judges OF
election in Silver Bow county were for
Helena, and more were being con-
Verted.
The Centerville meeting was pre-
sided over by Joseph Galloway, one OF
Marcus Daly's supporters In the capital
fight two years ago. He charged DAILY
with making false promises and mis-
representations. both in the former and
present fight.

legations and restrain the lawlessness
Of mobs, which seem waiting only for
a pretext TO rise upon Europeans and
Americans, is imperatively demanded.
The call OF Prince KunB to power as
president OF the Tsung ii Yamen. is
interpreted as another sign Of IL Hung
Chang's decline. The half-forgotten
statesman, now over seventy years Of
age. controlled the diplomacy of the em-
plre thirty years ago, until he was set
aside by one OF the palace conspiracies
which frequently threw the government
into confusion. His appointment was
quickly followed by the nomination of
Gen. Sung 10 the chief command of
the northern armies. This is under
stood as equivalent 10 a denial of LIS
petition to be trusted with the direct
management Of the military and naval
forces.
The statement previously published
that the Chinese fleet purposely car
ried no boats is corroborated. The crews
OF all lost vessels perished with
scarcely an exception. The number
drowned Is roughly estimated at nearly
700. Every deck officer engaged was
injured. on the ships which returned
TO Port Arthur about 100 were killed
and $50 wounded. An extraordinary inn

Missoula. Oct. q.-Helena has every
reason TO feel gratlfled at the showing
that was made at the Bennett opera

Is stated above, the Anaconda company

seventy-fve or hundred of her prime
favorite strikers and heelers. Without
any previous notice OF warning. these
fellows came glittering In their badges
and jingling the price OF their service
TO interrupt a meeting that had been
advertised as n Helena meeting. Until
their arrival, the local committee had
no notice OF the fact that Anaconda de-

1t is TO the credit of the people OF
Missoula that very few OF her people
participated in the disgraceful actions

Daly's Butte and Anaconda leaders
freighted in did the work. In the first
place, they kicked the door Of the opera

many to learn that Mr.. Cotter Is an
advocate Of Anaconda's claims, for from
the moment he was introduced there be-
gan "A fire OF personalities on his part
that was answered by the applauding
henchmen In the rear Of the hall by
roars and screams Of applause and ap-
