THERE seems to be general
good feeling on the part of the
press of the state over the ap.
pointment of ]. E. Phelan as sec
rotary of the board of railroad
commissioners. The more the
people know of Mr.. Phelan's ster-
ling character and past record,
the better they will be pleased
about his appointment. His pro-
gressive turn of mind, natural
ability and twenty-one years ex-
perience in railroading makes
Mr.. Phelan prominently the
man for this important position.
We say important. 1t should be;
and we believe it will be under
the new management, although
it has not been in the past.

Terrible Loss Of Life in Butte.

The report OF the fire and ex-
plosions at Butte, Montana, Tues
day evening has cast a gloom
over the Northwest. A fire,
thought to be incendiary, broke
out in a warehouse near the de-
pots. 1t was rumored that pow
der was stored there but this was
denied and the fire department
began to fight the fire. Scarcely
had the work begun when there
came fearful explosion killing
many of the fremen and others.
This was followed in about five
minutes later by a second and
this a little later by a third. The
number of dead will never be
known but it is known to be over
one hundred while the injured
number even more. The fire de-
partment is almost entirely wiped
out. Besides the loss of life
there is a great loss of property
Stringent legislation should BIZ
adopted to prevent the storing .oi
powder within city or town limits

Health Permitting. a Change Is Thought
Improbable.

Washington, May lit can be stated
on the authority of one of the parties
directly concerned that the reports of
change in the head of the state de-
partment. that Secretary Gresham will
be succeeded by Don M. Dickinson, are
not within the range of proba bility,
provided Gresham's health permits, as
1t is expected. Should his health compel
his withdrawal from the cabinet later.
Dickinson doubtless might be asked to
accept the office. The present reports,
however, are based on the fact that
Tuesday last Dickinson attended a cab
met meeting in an informal capacity.
as his personal relations with the pres
ident are such that he frequently joins
the cabinet circle At this time Sec
rotary Gresham was absent, his place
being taken by Assistant Secretary of
State Uhl, formerly of Michigan, and
one of Dickinson's intimates
In this connection it is recalled that
cabinet portfolio was at the dispo-
sition of Dickinson when the present
cabinet was formed, and had he &C
cepted 1t would have been as secre-
tary of state. Subsequently he was COM
missioned by Cleveland to go to Chi
cago and invite Judge Gresham to take
the secretaryship of state.

WoRklNGMAN,s PARTY
New National Organization Launched
Yesterday at New York.

New York, May 10.--A new independ-
ent workingman' party to be national
in scope, was launched this afternoon
at a conference of the various local la
Dor unions. The movement originated
with the tin and sheet iron workers, and
the guiding motives are thus explained
by the executive committee:
THE members of our organizati ton
have for the past few years been care
fully reviewing the actions of our courts
national and state municipal and legis-
lative bodies. and the officers of the
same. Our review has clearly demon
strated the fact that no redress of the
evils under which we labor may be ex-
pected from the officers who are nomi-
mated and elected by the old political
parties, reform or otherwise. As an il
lustration we cite the presidents action
in the great American Railway Union
strike in Chicago last summer and the
mayors action in the trolley mems
strike in Brooklyn this past winter We
think that it is now time, through
united political organization, to obtain
laws that we are unable to attain
through our trade combinations"

SUPREME JUSTICES WERE IN SESSION
Reason to Believe That the Income Ia
Law Has Been Upheld,

Washington, May 11.-Nine justices of
the supreme court held consultation
at the capitol today from IL to II o'clock
and there is every reason to believe that
a conclusion on the income tax question
custom of the court will be followed,
and that to one of the justices in the
majority has been assigned the work
of preparing the opinion of the court.
Justices in the minority may each write
a separate dissent or not as each in
dividual prefers. The consultations are
held in secret, and no announcement of
the conclusions reached Is ever made
prior to their PRONUNCIATION from the
bench, but some circumstances connect
ed with the session rather point to the
vote of Justice Jackson having been
cast in favor Of the constitutionality of
the law. The principal reason for this
statement is the fact that after a con-
sultation Of all the members of the
court, private conference was had be-
tween Justices White. Harlan 9and
Brown, all in favor of the law at the
previous hearing, and Justice Jackson
Chief Justice Fuller, who favored up
holding the law in part, was not pres
ent. The manner of Justices Harlan
and White. the most strenuous support
ers or the law, in previous conferences,
also leads to the inference that they
have felt they were in the majority.
1t Is regarded as almost certain that
the decision will be announced when the
court reassembles May 20.

REVOLT IN ECUADOR
Puntusua SheIIed by the Gun
boat CotopaxI.
THE U. S. RANGER STOPPED IT
Rebels Induced to Depart But Arc En-
camped i'm the Nicinity-.Rcvo.
luton Spreading.

New York, May 10.--A special to a
morning paper from Panama. May .,
says:
1.-The British bark Chala, which ar
rived here this morning, carried 100
troops of the Ecuador government from
Manta, conveyed by the gunboat Coto-
paxi, carrying 200 to Puntasua, Off the
Esmeraldas. May 3. In trying to land
the troops met with continuous firing
from the shore and were forced to re-
treat with heavy losses. Captain Bay
ano of the Cotopaxi, realizing the use
lesness of his guns at the distance from
Puntasua, turned his course to point
nearer to the Esmeraldas and began
to shell the town effectively. He
threatened a regular bombardment I'M
less the rebels evacuated their position
within "a hours.
At this juncture the Ranger, under
cabled orders of the United States to
protect American interests. made its
appearance. 1t was a timely entrance
on the scene. Captain Watson of the
Ranger landed Immediately under
flag of truce and his wise counsel and
friendly influence prevailing. the reb-
els quilted the Esmeraldas and Cap
tain Bayano assumed possession The
rebels remain encamped in the vicinity.
The revolution is everywhere gaining
in Ecuador.
General Altaro has been proclaimed
leader of the rebels. The rebel General
Bowen holds Babahoyo, which is on
the Guayas, 70 miles from Guayaquil
with an army of 1000 men.

THE BURLINGTON STARTS TROUBLE
Summer Tourist Business Into Colorado
Promises Lively Competition.

promises Lively competition
Chicago, May 10--The attempt to re-
organize the Transcontinental Passen-
ger Association assumed definite form
today. All of the lines interested were
represented at the meeting, all announc-
ing themselves in favor of reorganiZa-
ton, and no line was able to give any
reason why the reorganization should
to appoint a committee to draw up a
plan of reorganization, which Is to be
submitted to the general meeting not
later than May %.
Yesterday the western lines decided
that after May 10 there would be no
more demoralized rates. Now there is
every probability that not only will
regular summer tourist rates be slashed
right and left, but that regular rates as
well will become badly demoralized.
The trouble has arisen over a circu-
lar of the Burlington road, which offers
a commission of IS per ticket, instead of
50 as agreed upon by the western lines.
The Burlington circular related partic-
ularly to Colorado business, and today
a secret conference of other lines inter-
ested in the Colorado summer tourist
business was held and the decision
reached that unless the Burlington
promptly withdraws its offer of a S.
commission they will reduce the regular
summer tourist rate to Colorado points
by IS. This row will without doubt
postpone the reorga nization of the west
ern lines passenger association, which
is scheduled to begin next week.

Conclusion of the Treaty With Chile Is
of Vast Importance.

Conclusion of the Treaty With Chile Is
of Vast Importance.
Buenos Ayres, May 10.-A dispatch
treaty of peace and friendship has been
concluded between Chile and Bolivia,
by which the former cedes to Bolivia
a small strip of territory and portion
of the Pacific coast midway between
Iquique and Pisagua. Chile in return
receives commercial advantages.
The conclusion of the le-Bolivia
treaty Is said to be of far-reaching i'm
portance, particularly to Bolivia, as 1t
makes the latter a Pacific coast coun-
try, after 1t has been shut inland for
ten years. Officials here say that when
and Bolivia the victors took all the sea
coast territory of Bolivia, leaving her
land locked, like Switzerland, without
opportunity for commerce by the Pa
cific and unable to maintain a navy.
In 1884 treaty of truce was effected
ter country did not get back her sea
coast territory. After remaining hem
med in for ten years Bolivia now gains
a Pacific port and a strip of territory.
This will enable her to resume COM
merce by the Pacific without crossing
Chilean soil, and it will permit re-es-
Establishment of her navy. Minister
Cana of Chile has not been officially ad-
vised of the conclusion of the treaty.

Rumor That She Is to Wed an English

Rumor That She Is to Wed an English
Gentleman of Wealth.
Chicago. May 10.-A story has been
floating around in women's temperance
circles during the past few days to the
effect that Miss Frances Willard, the
famous temperance leader, may be led
to the altar before the autumn leaves
have begun to fall Like most of the
material out of which women's gossip
is formed, the story is trifie hazy
the gentleman in the case being alluded
to, without name, as IAN Englishman of
wealth and position and of prominence
in reform work across the water"
Among Miss Wizards most intimate
friends the story receives no credence.
They say that il she contemplated any
matrimonial alliance they ought to be
among the first to know it, and they
point to the fact that she is just enter
ing upon her seth year as an evidence
that she is not likely. at such a period
in her life, to assume the cares of a
home. Moreover, she has not limited at
any prospective change in her domes-
tic relations in any of her recent COM
munications.
AT the same time one of her closest
friends in this city said this morning:
Miss Willard has always regarded the
temperance movement as her spouse,
and we could hardly imagine her we'd
ded to any other. At the same time l
will confess that stranger things have
happened. Let us wait and see"
Miss Willard has for some time past
been the guest of Lady Somerset at
Reigate, England. She will pay a flying
visit to this country in October and then
return abroad.
