one of the largest owners of Anaconda

of the famous Anaconda mine. Large sto-
ries have come out from Montana since the
capital fight was settled, stories of how
fabulous sums were spent in the effort of
the two towns-Helena and Anaconda-to
secure the permanent location of the state
government. Mr.. DAILY does not relish these
tales when he gets away from home, and
he claims they are largely manufactured
by men who talk about money they never
saw nor knew about. He does not estimate
the amount spent by Helena to have been
more than $40. 600, and he adds, with consider
able show Of vindictiveness, that the town
is bankrupt" showing his contempt for the
place Some people estimate that Mr.. DAILY
spent million and half, but he laughs
at this, and declares that outside of tho
Davis estate, and perhaps one man, there

The Washington Senator waved him
aside, and said, in an eloquent and con-

to rise to fly. The food Is SO abundant in
the waters of Puget sound and its tribu-
taries that the salmon get all they want to

Grant. Cou uc,, of War,

'Tn one respect Grant" said Colonel
McFall Of St Louis, who served with
him before Vicksburg, twas source Of
great worriment to the commanding
officers taking part in his councils Of
war;" quotes an exchange.
This came from his reticence during
the councils and his prompt individual
action afterward. Grant would sit and
listen to all the others had to say, smok-
ing his cigar and occasionally taking a
drink as this hospitable refreshment
might be passed around. Then, when
the talk was all over and every one had
expressed his opinion as to what should
be done, Grant would leave the tent
and go to Rawlins, his chief Of staff,
and begin issuing orders. No one knew
to what decision he had arrived and
they would have no idea what the next
movement was to be until their orders
were received"

TARIFF DUTIES IN MEXICO.

states VIII Not Be Allowed to Levy
Mexico City. Sept. 26.-Congress has
passed, with some slight amendments,
bill providing for amending the feder-
al constitution so that neither states or
municipalities shall have the right to
tax foreign or domestic merchandise
entering or in transit through their re-
spective jurisdiction. The bill now goes
to the Senate. This measure will be
one of the most radical reforms ever
adopted here, as it emphasizes the fed
eral authority and removes at one blow,
all obstacles to transit merchandise
within the republic. Hitherto many
states and even towns have at will
placed customs duties against both for
eign and domestic merchandise, and al
though within few years some Of the
more progressive states have removed
state custom houses. the practice has
prevailed to the extent OF depr1ving
this country of the fullest measure Of
free trade within Its border and has
badly embarrassed railway companies
teen state custom houses aid municipal
tax gatherers.
President DiaZ and Finance Minister
Limantour have desired to bring about
this great reform law.
Paris advices state that French capi-
tai is inclined to enter Mexico and may
build the remainder Of the Mexico

British Postal System.

The report Of the postmaster general
gives an interesting record of the devel-
opment Of the postal telegraph in Great
Britain. When the telegraph lines were
transferred to the government In 1870
the number of kilograms forwarded the
first year was 9,S50,0OO. Last year the
number exceeded II 100000. There has
also been remarkable development of
speed in the transmission of telegrams,
GOO words minute having become pos
sible, with the Wheatstone system and
400 words a minute has been fixed as
the standard on the main circuits. The
report, however, shows deficit Of f153,-

Wichita Liquor Cases.

Wichita, Kans.. Sept. 26-After the
trial of five cases under the prohibitory
law without a conviction, all the other
liquor cases in the District court were
postponed to-day until next January.
The five cases cost about $4,000, but a
novel scheme has been adopted to wipe
out that cost. The jurors and witnesses
have agreed not to become in any way
the beneficiaries of what they call an
unjust and malicious war on their com.
munity, and instead of taking their
fees from the county they have donated
them to the orphans home and the hos
pitals, which institutions are supported
by the taxpayers. These fees will sup
port the Institutions referred to for the
year, and county funds for their sup
port will not be used.

New Expect That Mexico Will OPsn he'
Ports to Them.
New York, Sept 26.-secretary Con
Rales Quesada, who has been in Mexico
City almost fortnight, In conference
with President DiaZ in relation to es-
tablishing open ports for the Cuban
navy and coaling stations, writes that
all his plans have succeeded so far. He
says the first vessel to take advantage
Of Mexico's concessions to the Cuban
patriots will be British craft fitted
ont with an armament to enable 1t to
cope In Cuban waters with any Spanish
warship now cruising there. 1t lies in
the river Thames at London, and has
been out of commission about six
months.
Its armament. now in the warehouse
In Tampico harbor, consists Of two
heavy guns, two rapid firing guns, one
Gattling Gun. one Maxim, six torpedo
tubes and 1000 stand of small arms
and cutlasses. Above the water line II
has been supplied with ten-inch armor
plates.
Before leaving for the city of Mexico,
Secretary Quesada exhibited letters
from President Diaz guaranteeing pro-
lection to the Cuban vessel and guaran-
teeing to supply 1t with coal and pro
visions. 1t Will also be protected while
aking her armament.
One stipulation in the agreement is
hat the vessel shall not sail from Lon.
don until commissioned as a cruiser by
the Cuban government. The command.
er is to have a commission as admiral
It was feared that in case the officers
were not thus commissioned both cap
tain and crew would be hung as pir-
ates in case OF capture.
Immediately upon recognition Of the
Cuban government by the United
States government-or, in fact. by any
government-Secretary Quesada has
been notified that the Cubans can Sc
cure loan OF almost any amount OF
gold from an English syndicate, or
from the sugar trust, or both. The
English syndicate expect extensive
mining concessions. while the sugar
trust would expect concessions in re-
gard to plantations. An agent Of the
English syndicate was in this city two
weeks ago, and held extensive confer
ences with the members Of the Cuban
tunta.

Illinois Crop Report.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The Illinois weather
crop bulletin says: Corn is now past any
possible danger from frost, and practic-
ally all the crop which will be cut is
in the shock. In the northern and cen
tral counties this portion will be large.
Wheat-sowing and also plowing have
been retarded; but a few fields have
been sown, and the seeding will not be
general in the southern counties until
the last Of this week, as chinch bugs
are still very numerous and damage
by the Hessian fly is possible. The
peach crop Is practically exhausted. and
apple-picking will be on hand by the
first Of the coming month.

Tn. Virgin of Gu,d.,oup..

City Of Mexico. Sept. 26.-Mission-
aries have agreed to suspend their at
tack on the worship of the virgin of
Guadalupe at the request Of the Unit
ed States diplomats and consul author
tiles. 1t is believed that the govern
ment offered the missionaries all posi-
BILE protection, but the American leRa-
ton feared rioting would be provoked
by an indiscreet attack on the popular
belief. Missionaries say 1t Is only a
truce.
The Mexican Herald urges mission
aries to follow the example Of Catholic
missions in remote parts Of the country,
where the principal endeavor Of the
priests is to civiliZe the Indians and let
soap, water and combs precede cate
chisms.
