HELENA, May 26.-Mayor Weed in.
formed a STANDARD reporter hero to-
night that the original plan as to the dis
posal Of the Coxeyites had been materially
changed, and the men will now be sent on
their way to Fort Benton in wagons, START
ing probably in wagons. The Great
Northern having fixed a tariff of 500 for
hauling the men to Benton. exacted the
execution Of bond OF so5. 900 by the city
of Helena indemnifying the road against
future damage to its property by the Ho-
gauites. This was not acceded to and
teams hero have been secured for trans
porting the property and supplies of the
men to Benton and the lumber with which
they arc to construct boats at that point
with which to make their way down the
river.
Provision will not be made for hauling
other than the sick or disabled. but the
trip will be an easy one to make on foot,
as the teams will necessarily travel
slowly.
1t 10 believed that the members Of the
army will nearly be able to subsist them
selves on their river trip by fishing and
hunting. About go men will 90 IN this
army, and it Is not now known that there
Is large force coming here from any
other point. so IL Is hoped the Coxey ques-
ton is solved in Helena for the present 1T
least.
Mayor Weed is spoken of In high terms
by the men, who say that he has done all
in his power to aid them. A mass meet
ing was held tonight on Main street
which was addressed by General Jeffries
of the Seattle wing. A large gathering Of
unemployed was present. Jeffries IL
tall, prepossessing appearing man, and is
an eloquent and most effective speaker.
As to the purposes of the Coxeyites at
Washington, he said there would be
million there before the end Of the sum
nier and they should sit down near the
grass and say to Grover, "Here are your
chickens como home to roost; what arc
you going to do with IA? 2"
"The Coxey army is a walking republic
and contains within it the elements which
overcsme the power of the few and ss-
tablished the democracies Of Greece and
Rome thousands Of years ago. Our mis-.
sion, like that of the man OF Nazareth, Is
one Of peace. but though laughed ut and
scorned, We shall be irresistible. We ask
the enactment of free coinage law at q
ratio of i6 To !, and the abrogation of tho
right to collect interest on money.
"We ask for the coinage Of the seignior-
age aud the issue of 50O,Oo0,Q0O in legal
tender notes"
The speaker paid some rather caustio
compliments to tho press Of Helena. Tho
meeting was orderly throughout.

appear to end the case and to establish
the principle that all lands upon odd sec
tions known TO be mineral before the
issuing OF patents to the Northern Pacific,
although not known to be mineral in 1882.
do not pass to the railroad company, but
to tho mineral claimants. Ii may be
stated here that no patents Of lands In
this state or Idaho have been issued to
the railroads.
This decision will leave the way open
for the passage Of the mineral land bill
introduced by Judge Dixon Mt the last
session Of congress and reintroduced in
the present session by Mr.. Hartman.
This bill provides for commissioners TO
examine, classify and segreeAte the min
eral lands in Montana and Idaho. This
bill has been reported favorably by the
commissioner OF tho land Office and by
the secretary of tho interior. Hoke Smith.
Al the present session the public lands
committee examined the bill through n
subcommittee and reported it favorably
to congress and it is on the calendar.
MIR. McRae Of Arkansas, chairman OF
the committee, has said that he stands
ready to push it subject only to the desire
OF the mineral land people. The bill has
been held back while the Barden case
was pending in the United States supreme
court. 1t Is now hoped to get the bill
through the lower house at this session
and through the senate at the second ses-
sion next winter. Mineral Land Commis-
sioner Irwin will leave for Washin gton
next week to push the matter.
The importance OF tho decision
In this test case may be judged from tho
following figures, from tho report of the
commissioner of the general land Office to
tho secretary Of tho interior in May, 1890.
II shows the number OF acres in Montana
and Idaho, included in the Northern Pa
cific land grant.
Granted in Montana, i7,sSs, ,0s0 acres.
In the lo-mile indemnity limits, 4,992, 900
acres. Surveyed within the grant and
indemnity limits. 1i,15s.72O. Granted in
Idaho, l,so0,sO0. Surveyed within the
grant and indemnity limits, 403,2o0.
This estimate is made at 40 sections per
mile in the granted and 10 sections per
mile in the indemnity limits, the Northern
Pacific line being $50 miles in length in
Montana and 30 miles in length in Idaho.
No accurate estimate has been made as TO
how much of all this land 10 mineral. and
the bill now before congress Is In order
that this may be determined. It 10 gen.
orally believed that in Montana between
100000 and 100000 acres are mineral
and must therefore revert toe the people.
In Idaho 1t Is said that many valuable
mines In the Coeur d'Alene section were
dependent on the decision rendered to-day
to determine ownership.

The race for State Senator
in this district has been heretofore
a sort of school boy play, and
hardly entered as Il factor into the
political campaign. This year,
however, it will be different, and
the canvass for the Office of State
Senator will be one If the leading
features of the campaign now
about to open. Mr.. Seaber, the
Republican nominee, is one of the
strongest men in the district, a
thorough Republican, and well
posted on all the political questions
of the day. His discussions are
intelligent and entertaining, and
cannot fail to make converts where
he is heard. He will make a
thorough canvass of the district g,
and he will not only wipe out the
Democratic majority so far as the
sixth Senatorial district is con-
cerned, but will give additional
strength to the Republican county
tickets in all the counties of this
district.
