The gentlemen appointed to select a
site for the Montana soldiers home have
performed the duty assigned them and
thus concluded their labore. The COM
mission made a personal inspection of
each site offered, listened to the argu-

then came to the conclusion that, con-
sulting the interests of all concerned. the
offer made by the people of Columbia
Fails was the most satisfactory and it
was accepted by unanimous vote
There can be no question but that the
selection is u most desirable one and
now that this preliminary has been set

WOOL AND GREAT FALLS.

In yesterdays issue of THE TRIBUNE
there was published statement of the
amount of wool business done at this
point during the season just closed The
figures are reliable and speak for them
selves. They show that the volume of
business was greater than in any preced.
ing year, the prices higher on the aver
age than at any other point and that
Great Falls is by odds the best wool mar
ket in the state. The article also shows
that in the matter of facilities and freight
rates this city had good lead over its
competitors. While this result is graft
flying it is nothing more than reasonable.
The location is central for the trade for
both the buyer and seller, the accommoda
tons for comfort are superior, and there
is no reason why the trade should not
center here The fact that more than
one-fourth of the business of the state
was done here is the best evidence Of its
status as shipping point. This year
was but an earnest of the years to come,
for in the near future Great Falls must
OF necessity be the center of the wool
and cattle business of Northern Mon

CALLS FOR SILVER COINAGE.
In Sufficient Amount for the
Retirement Of the Sher-
man Notes.
VOTE ON THE CANAL SCHEME
To Be Reached Today in the
Senate--More Hawaiian
Annexation Talk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The details
of the amended financial plan which
Messrs. Springer and Cox and two or
three other members of the banking
committee are discussing with Secre-
tary Carlisle were learned today. They
had a long conference with the secre-
tary yesterday. and are of the opinion
that the notifications to his plan meet
his sanction. The most radical of the
new propositions for which MIR. Cox
stands sponsor is that for the coinage of
silver. 1t cOEtempiates the cancella-
ton OF the Sherman notes when re-
ceived at the treasury and the issue Of
silver certificates i'll denominations Of
81, 81 and So or of silver dollars. if the
receivers prefer. To back these silver
certificates it is proposed to coin all the
bullion i'll the treasury. which,
including S54, 100000 seigniorage,
amounts to $751;, O0O, 600. 1t is calculated
that not more than $4,000, 900 can be
coined i'll d year. The changes in the
banking feature of the plan provide
that while the banks shall hold the same
reserve now required, one-haif shall be
in legal tender greenbaeks or Sherman
notes. Representative Cox explains
that this arrangement would relieve the
treasury of the raids upon the gold made
possible by the large volume OF out
standing notes, since 1t would dispose of
S200,000,000 of notes by using them to
form the basis of banking and 800, 000,-
600 for reserves in banks. 1t is conceded
that 1t might be necessary to empower
the secretary to issue low-Tate bonds to
protect the treasury against large with
drawalS of gold.

the Republican leader, proposed that
they proceed TO consider the Hawaiian

posed by Mr.. McCreary, the chairman of

Mr. Cremer addressed the committee
informally in support of the memorial
which he recently presented TO PreSi-
dent Cleveland, and was questioned
concerning the scope of the proposition
and the classes Of questions Great Brit
ain would consent to arbltrate. One
member asked him if such questions as
the Boring sea dispute were contem-
plated in his plan, and Mr.. Cremer said
they were. This led to discussion OF
the Bering sea arbitration, in which Mir.
Van Voorhis inquired If il was not gen
orally understood in Europe that En-
gland got the greatest benefits from that
arrangement.
Mr.. Cremer said he could not speak
upon that point. Mr.. Hit, having in
mind the boundary dispute between
British Guinea and Venezuela, asked if
England was prepared to consent to an
arbitration agreement with Venezuela
and other small nations. Mr.. Cremer
was not authorized to answer that ques-
ton.

REPUBLICANS TO CAUCUS.

Financial Questions.

Compromise Is Hoped for on
Financial Questions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a - The an
nouncement Of a Republican senatorial
caucus tomorrow had the effect of re
viving the talk today of the prospect of
a compromise between the bond advo-
Gates and the silver Republicans which
would enable the caucus to present a
solid front on the question. There has
been an effort to secure an agreement
on a proposition advanced by Senator
Allison to issue Understanding treas
ury notes to run for two or three years
only. but The silver men have not ac-
cepted this suggestion without making
counter propositions. They agree with
other senators that a treasury deficit is
an undesirable thing, and say that in
the interest of the country gem
orally they would be pleased to
see a change that would relieve
the situation in this respect. They
think, however, that the most
natural way to bring this relief is to
coin the silver seigniorage. If this
proposition is not entertained they will
probable suggest that it will be better 20
authorize another issue of non interest
bearing treasury notes or greenbacks
than issue the short time interest bear
ing notes as proposed. Their objection
is that they would probably be collected
by the banks as soon as the interest on
them had reached any appreclabIe
amount and probably held in reserve.
This" said Senator Teller, in dis
cussing the question, would have the
effect of initiating the currency to an ex-
tent and then contracting it, which
could not be desirable
The most that can be said is that a
more conciliatory spirit is shown over
the proposition to provide means of
relieving the treasury deficit than has
been manifested in the project to main>
tain the gold reserve.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Complying
with resolution of the senate the act
ing secretary of the navy sent reports
OF the preliminary survey of Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaiian Islands, commenced last
April by Rear Admiral irwin, then COM
manding the Pacific station. and COM
pieted by Rear Admiral Walker, who
succeeded him. Rear Admiral irwin
submits that tie requirement of Il naval
station in the Hawaiian islands is neces
sary to give our government command
of the Pacific. Not simply a coaling
station, but a navy yard is needed. and
the positions commanding the bar at
Pearl Harbor should be strongly fortified
and perfect torpedo system completed.
The rear admiral submits report
made by Lieut.. Z. A. Adams, who says
that in his opinion, from the experience
in boring and sounding in Pearl Har-
Dor, dredge could clear channel
through the bar, giving a depth OF
thlrty-One feet at low wafer. without
any great difficulty. The latter thinks
the previous estimates OF opening the
CHdHnelS HdN0 D0eH iHucH lou great.
Rear Admiral Walker, i'll his report 10
the department, dated June Il last.
says an examination showed conclu-
siveIy that there is channel through
the reef at Pearl Harder filled with
loose coral and sand. and that suction
dredge can rapidly and cheaply open
way for tie largest ships.
The channel IS practically straight,
and the distance between the walls or
live coral is at 10 point less than 800
feet. The rear admiral promised a fur
tber and detailed report. Accompany
ing this report is all estimate made by
Col. William Wood. submitting a total

Old age is the most delightful time

Eyesight may not be as strong, hear

My wife has taken four bottles of
Paine's celery compound with very
beneficial results. 1t has had such an
effect on her that her neighborS say
that she is the smartest old lady of
her age that they ever were acquainted
with. She is upwards of 20 years
old and is doing more work than any or
binary woman within miles of here.
She is doing her homework, making
upwards of 100 pounds of butter
month, and taking care of the milk of
four COWS, and she attributes her
ability TO do this to the use of Paine's
celery compound.
&" She has suffered for fifteen or
twenty years from female weakness
and the compound has cured her.
LAS far as 1 am concerned think
that Paine's celery compound must
have renewed me, as 1 am managing
my farm of 116 acres this year. doing
my own chores, taking care of horses
and cattle and hogs and fowls, after

compound when l felt any symptoms

There is the case in a nutshell:

WASHINGTON, Jan. An interest
ing situation has arisen with respect to
the proposition submitted by President
Cleveland to the senate for the moditi-
cation of the Hawaiian treaty so as to
allow Necker island, Of the Hawaiian
group, to be used for cable station by
a Canadian company. The proposition
submitted is for legislation, not in the
form of a new treaty or of all amend
ment to the present treaty.aS that would
require tWO-tnirdS vote OF the senate.
The attitude Of the Republicans would
make a new treaty Or treaty amend
ment impossible as the senate is now
constituted. The proposition, there
fore. has been brought forward in legiS-
latiye form, and in this shape was dis
CusSed IL the committee Oh foreign re-
lations. The committee had a resolu~
ton before it proposing TO grant the
right to land the cable on Necker ISL
and. 1t was not supported by any of
the members. and the motion TO report
the proposition adversely was unanI-
