HELENA, Feb. 23.-When the house con-
vened this morning Rev. Mr.. Shippen
waxed eloquent in speaking of Washing
toms birthday. He said: I'VE exalt Thy
name Oh, Lord, as the beneficent source
of every good. We thank Thee for our
great country and our great men. 1t be-
comes us to gratefully consecrate days to
the commemoration of the names and
virtues of our great patriots. These days
will come and go, but the name of WASH
ington and his virtues of fidelity, truth
and patriotism will last while our national
history shall last. With fidelity in the
d scharge of all our duties, may our lives
be more like his, and like his be our last
and sure reward, and Thine shall be the
praise"
Two petitions were received from resi-
dents of Neihart, one praying for the APP
pointment of a game and fish warden for
Meagher county, and the other asking
that the northwestern corner of Meagher,
in which are located Neihart and Barker,
be segregated, and the annexation of that
disrct to Cascade county, in view of the
fact that the roads to the present county
seat we're impossible during the greater
portion of the year, and, as their only
outlet was toward Great Falls, they asked
10 be attached to Cascade.
Cua rman Baggs reported correctly en-
rolled and the speaker signed the follow
ing bills: House bill No. &C, to repeal an
act providing for a mineral land commits
sioner; house bill No. %, to provide for the
payment of bounty on certain stock-de-
stroying animals, aud creating a bounty
fund; house bill No. 30, relating to the LA
bilIty of hotel keepers and providing for
the inspection of hotels.
As a result o. tho resolution passed
Thursday, 81 bills were this morning re-
ported back to the house from the stand
ing committees. or this number, 10 bills
were indefinitely postponed.
OF the many reports submitted, that of
the committee on education was by far
the most important. Chairman Paschal
submitted the following report, which is
signed by himself, Craven, Jones and
Bray:

ure as is contained in house bill No So be

MRS. MINIS.
Disposal of the Ex-oueen of Hawaii n
Question.

DlspOsai OF the EN-oueen OF haWau N
Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Mail advices re-
ceived at the Hawaiian embassy here are
that the trials of the principals engaged
in tho recent uprisings have been con-
cluded, and that the natives at last ac-
counts were being tried in groups of a
dozen or more. AS fast as evidence was
adduced in the examination before the
court-martial patches of prisoners were
arraigned, and when they requested it,
counsel assigned to them. An effort was
being made to give all a fair and impair
tial trial, and in one instance where n
member of the court was objected TO by
one of the accused because the two had
some hot words several years ago, the
officer promptly stepped down from the
bench.
The trials of the ex-queen and the ring
leaders of the rebellion have been con-
cluded, but no decision has been reached.
1t is likely, however, the next steamer will
bring copies of the decree against the ac-
cused. Sentiment is dIvded in the islands
as to the advisability of keeping the abdi-
Gated queen at Honolulu or sending her
out of the country. Some persons hold
IL Mrs. Dominis Is kept under surveillance
there will bo less opportunity given her
adherents to foment discord, whereas If
she is permitted to run at large in the
United States or elsewhere there would
be continual trouble. On the other hand,
however. it is asserted the recent failure
of the filibustering operations against the
republic will have wholesome effect in
deterring others from doing likewise, and
the government can afford to be lenient.
Robert Wilcox, who aspired to be the
leader of the royalist forces, is reported as
having turned in the most abject manner
and begged for his life, greatly to the dis
gust of his followers, who expected their
leader to show moro backbone. From the
tenor of the letters received at the Legal
ton, it is not believed President Dole will
sanction any harsh measures, such as
capital punishment, nor will torture be
tolerated. Attention is furthermore called
to the fact that for the last 20 years no
brutality or cruelty of any sort has been
tolerated at the islands.

HELENA, Feb. 23.-The senate met at
o'clock D. m. The judiciary committee
reported on five bills, all amendatory to
the codes, relating to fees in justice
courts. number of committee reports
were m de and the senate went into COM
mittee of the whole for the consideration
of Eggleston's immigration bill, which
was indefinitely postponed. Tue bill in
troduced by Folsom, providing that natu-
rallied citizens shall not offer TO vote before
six months after their naturalization, was
favorably recommended. Flowerree's state
capitol bill received tho same treatment.
Leonard's building and loan association
bill was made a special order for p. IN.
Monday. The senate memorials to con-
gress for the removal of distractions from
the Clark's Fork, and relative to the Cree
Indians. we're favorably considered.
Smead's bill for the refunding of matur-
ing school bonds came back from the
house with amendments prohibiting such
bonds be not REMEMBERED moro than
once. The senate did not concur in the
amendments, but will look the matter up,
though Smead was willing to accept
them. The committee sent to investigate
the Warm Springs insane asylum and the
penitentiary at Deer Lodge both reported
favorably to the contractors.
After describing the buildings in detail
the report refers to the new stone wall at
the pen and quotes Representative
Michael Corbett as intimatiug that If
built by free labor the wall would havo
cost $4,000 whereas it only cost S29,593 28.
In 1898 the contractor received S67,1 for
the care of prisoners, and in 1894 S48,642
for the same number of convicts. The
report says the prison is in good condition
and that the inmates are well treated
ha wing no complaints to make.
The committee believes the work
given the prisoners both in
and out of the prison is of great benefit to
them. The only reference made to the
escape of the prisoners on May 29 1888, is
the story of the escape from the ranch and
no blame is attached to any one. Tho re-
port recommends the adoption of tue pa :
role system. The committee say they
found the prison we'll kept, they believe
the contractors fulfilled their contract,
and give as good satisfaction and service
as can be obtained under the contract sys-
tenn The committee is of the be-
lief that the contract system is the
most economical method that can be
| furnished by the state in the care of con-
victs, but owing to the fact that the re-
formatory part of the states prison sys-
tenn is entirely neglected under 1t, they
recommend, as soon as the finances of
the state will justify, that warden be
| appointed in order that the reformatory
fidea may be adopted. The report was
placed on file.

and a watch is kept on his movements.
The different military companies have
passed resolutions requesting the dis
charge of all government employees whose
loyalty can be questioned. 1t is not
thought that their request will receive
much attention; in that event it is just
possible that the men may re sign in
body.
There is much talk of internal dissen-
sions which leads the friends of Princess
Kauilani to hope that she will, some
day, be placed on the throne.
In regard to the dispatch sent by Secre-
tary Gresham 20 Minister Willis, about
demanding a delay of execution, Attorney
General Smith stated this morning that
the government had no intention OF exc
cutting the condemned men until the milf
tary court concluded Its labors and every
fact bearing on the case was brought out.
Mr.. Smith would not state what the ntti-
tude of this government would be in case
Willis made n demand. He intimated,
however. that nothing would be done until
the United States government was in pos
session of the facts in each case.
The attorney general stated that the
queen has been found guilty, but her sem
tence was not approved as yet by Pres-
dent Dole. According to the attorney
general she will not be sent out of tho
country.
The latest sentence approved by the
president is that of John Bowler. He is
given five years and fined 5000 on n
charge of misprison of treason.

JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 23.-The severity

the fact that one week ago a negro was

last stage OF suffering and was gradually
