Alien Mine owners in the Province o
British Columbia.

brltlsh toiuIhDibs
MIssoULA, Feb. 26.-Much of the sue
cess that has attended the development of
the British Kootenai country has been due
to the skill and pluck of American ros-
pectors and operators, who have perse-
vered in the face of almost overwhelm ng
difficulties until they have demonstrated
the mineral wealth of this country. Not
a few old miners from this section and
from the Occur d'Alenes have done good
work in this field and have some excel
lent properties to show for their labors.
Others are still prospecting for bonanza,
hoping that each day will result in the dis
coyery of the pay rock for which they
have sought so long.
But it looks now as if the men who have
not already made their locations would be
destined to disappointment, as an i'm
portant amendment has been made to
the mining laws of British Columbia,
which will prevent aliens from locating
mineral lands. The amendment applies
to both the placer and quartz locations,
and is contained in two bills entitled "An
act to amend the mineral act of 1891, +"
and "An act to amend the placer mining
act of ls9l." These bills have received
the signature of the lieutenant governor
and will be in force in about one week.
The amendment to the mineral act con-
tains the following section, which is its
vi al part:
Section l3 on and after the passing of this
act II shall be unlawful for any alien. unless he
declares his intention To become British sub
iect, TO hold any mineral ella m b. location, but
this shall not refer TO any location by such alien
before the passage OF this act.
This bill and the one amending the
placer law were passed Feb. IL and re-
ceiyed the official approval of the lieu
tenant governor Feb. 21. The amend
mcnt does not effect the holdings of
aliens who have already acquired min-
eral lands in British Columbia, but IL will
prove n barrier to the many prospectors
who were planning for n seasons work in
the KootenaI country this year. 1t may
be possible to evade the law but, from tie
information now at hand, it seems i'm.
probable and these men must either be-
come subjects of the queen or else do
their prospecting somewhere else than in
British Columbia.

Stop that Cough!

1t may lead to serious conse-
quences. Cough remedies will
not do it, because it means more
than n simple cold. Scott's
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites will do it, and
at the same time will build up
and fortify the system against
further attacks.
We are putting up a 5o-cent
size for just these local diff
culties. For ordinary Coughs
and Colds that quantity will
doubtless cure. If it is deep
seated it may require more.
Don't be persuaded TO accept substitute!

They VIII Meet Mex Monday in Regular
session.
MIssoULA. Feb. &c. The county COM
missioners will meet next Monday in
regular session. This will he the first
meeting of the new board since its organ
izatiou. There is considerable important
business TO come before the board and
the session will be an interesting one.
The contract will be let for the care of
the poor at the county farm and a county
physician will be appointed. There is a
vacancy in the list of constables, caused
by the resignation OF Tom Corbett to be-
come deputy sheriff. which will be filled
by appointment at this session of the
board. Road supervisors will also be
appointed.
For the position of constable there are
three candidates spoken of, +. j. Powers,
Thomas Woodford and cap" Anderson.
These men are respectively, populist,
democrat and republican and there is
considerable speculation as TO which one
will be successful, especially as the mem
bers of the board of commissioners are
also evenly divided in politics among the
three parties.

Railroad Men Who Iake to n New occu-

Railroad Men Who Iake to n New Occu-
patton Kindly.
MIssoULA, Feb. 26.-Messrs. Dormer
and VeaIcy, wcll-known railroad men,
who for years ran engines on this division
of the Northern Pacific, have turned farm
ers and are now Bitter Rooters of the
most pronounced type. They have pur-
chased n fine ranch below Stevensvllle,
and will devote their time to raising hogs
and hay, with potatoes and strawberries
on the side. They feel confident of sue
cess, and their many friends in Missoula
wish them all possible prosperity in their
new venture. They have one of the finest
ranches in the heart of the Bitter Root
valley, and with push and perseverance
will certainly succeed. They were in town
to-day with a big farm wagon and two
heavy horses, and looked as if they had
been in the ranch business all their lives.
One incident occurred during their visit
to town which showed that the old-tIme
railroad instinct is still strong within
them, and that hoeing potatoes and plant
ing grain cannot destroy the force of habit
which comes from long years of railroad
service. Like n a retired fire horse, that
responds to the beat of the alarm gong,
so the old engine man answers quickly
the signals that have called him TO duty
during his years on the footboard. Yea
ley and Dormer were driving down Hig-
gins avenue on n jolly jog trot this
afternoon, Dormer holding the lines
and Vealey on the lookout
for slides on the track, when they were
espied by an old railroad acquaintance
from the sidewalk. This man whIstled
"down brakes" vigorously and, quick as
thought, Vealey jumped for the lever be-
side the seat and set the brake with
suddenness that nearly choked the horses.
These animals are of Bitter Root stock
they are good horses, but they have lot
to learn about railroading and they
haven't yet recovered from the shock that
they received when Vealey set the brakes.
But the eX-railroad men believe that
they can make farming easy by tho intro
duction of certain railroad methods and
they propose to teach their horses sys-
tenn of signals that will obviate tn Q neces-
sty of handling the reins very much.
This will be OF especial advantage in
plowing, as it will enable n man to de-
vote his entire attention to the plow in
stead of dividing it between pillow and
horses. With such methods in full swing,
the railroad ranch will be an interesting
place to visit after a while.

velope attracted the attention of the
authorities, who opened 1t and found
that 1T contained particulars regarding
the strength of the French garrison,
the number of sick, etc. The envelope,
it Is further stated, also contained an
enclosure addressed to E. Underwood
News, asking the latter to insert it in
that paper. This enclosure, it is
stated, contained abominable calumnies
regarding the conduct of the French
soldiers on the island of Madagascar,
and denounced two of Mr.. Waller's
compatriots, honorable American mer-
chants, who were going to Antanana-
rivo, as being spies in the pay Of
France. The trial of Mr.. Waller only
lasted three hours and three quarters,
at the end of which he was condemned
to twenty years Imprisonment. Mr..
Waller appealed against this sentence,
but it was eventually confirmed.
= According to the correspondent of
the Temps, it was a son-in-law of Mr..
Waller, Paul Bray, native of Texas,
and not his nephew, who accompanied
him on board the Djemnah. Bray, it
is added, was expelled from the island
of Madagascar for constant hostility
to the French authorities. Bray, it is
stated, in conclusion, was handed over
to- the American consul at Zanzibar,
: United States Ambassador James, b..
Eustis, in an interview, today, with a
representative of the Associated Press,
denied that he had received instructions
from Washington to investigate the
case of ex-Consul Waller.

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
statement which Secretary j. Ster-
ling Morton gave to the press last
week of his views upon the financial
question has been interpreted by the
press very generally as an utter
ance made upon behalf of the presi-
dent, and expressing the presidents
attitude. This inference was based
largely upon the circumstance that
Secretary Morton made public his
statement SO soon after his return
from the White house, where he
had been in conference with the
president and members of the cab
met at the regular cabinet meet
ing. The surmise, however, was
proven today to be ;:-co-rect by de-
malls which were made by both
President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Morton. The presidents state
ment, which was given to the Asso-
ciated Press by the private secre-
tary, Thurber, follows:
The president, when asked this
evening whether Secretary. Morton's
interview upon the money question
might be regarded as representing
his views, replied:
L am in no manner responsible
for Mr.. Morton's interview. and
knew nothing Of it until 1 read it in
the newspapers. When I have seen
mt to say anything to the people on
the money question or any other
subject, 1 have thus far found it
quite easy to do so directly and on
my own account
Earlier in the day, Secretary Nor
ton, having seen the same interpre-
tation put upon his interview which
had come under the presidents eve.
made the following statement:
Both the president and the secretary
OF agriculture spoke today without con-
sultat1on with the other Secretary
Morton did not know. when he made
the statement that the president in
tended to speak, and it was learned
that the president had no knowledge of
Secretary Morton's action upon the
matter when he dictated his own utter
ance thereon.

GREAT DAY FOR BULLS
SPECULATORs IN GOTHAM GRAIN
PIT EXCITED.
WAY UP IN THE MILLIONS
OF Bushels Were the Transactions
-Wheat Up Over Two Cents
at the Opening Bound.

NEW YORK, April 22-The activity
and strength in wheat today brought
to mind the scenes of other days, when
fluctuations of three to five cents and
transactions in eight figures were COM
mon. The market opened 21s cents
higher at one bound, when an excited
trading ran sales up to over 49,
C00,000 bushels by noon, and to 1885,, 600
bushels for the entire days business.
Local shorts, whose margins gave out,
were the most eager of the early buy
ers, but brokers had big orders from
outside spectators and European op-
orators, which were all one way, and
prices shot right up to G57s cents for
May, against 63B cents, the final fig
ures of Saturday. No one seems able
to explain the advance, beyond that it
is result of overflow of bull senti-
ment with which the market has been
charged for two weeks or more past.
At noon the market was Il cent off
from the top, under heavy offerings
of long wheat, but all the strength re-
turned again in the afternoon, and, with
increased activity. values moved UP to
the top notch again and closed strong.
The final burst of strength was attrib-
uted by some to the great advance in
late continental cables, coupled with
reports of unfavorable crop news from
Germany.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April '22.-The

American Minister Mckenzie. At
Lima there were evidence of fighting
at every hand. The streets were lit
tered with lime to destroy the stencil
made by the bodies, and I saw about
1,50O bodies of men slain the day be-
fore. The street In front of the lega-
tion was closed by a barricade on
either side of which had been placed
the rapid firing guns of the Caceristas
and Moneteros. The shot flew like hail

Mckenzie had been standing near the
window, looking out, when her hus-
band. called her away and as she
turned shot passed the spot where
she had been standing. Life was
cheap, native or foreign, and Mr.. Nc
Kenzie sent his wife and two other
American ladies out of the country on
a New Orleans steamer.
'I received a letter from Mr.. Nc
Kenzie thanking me for the protection
of the American consul and notify
ing me that in his judgment the pro-
visional government was established

Passses Resolutions.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 22.-The St.
Louis Livestock Exchange took off1ciaf
action on the alleged beef combine to-
day and wired its resolutions to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton. The pre-
amble refers to the rumored~ combine
among the packers based upon the
proposed or actually taken investiga-
ton by the department of agriculture,
that such agitation is extremely harm
full to the livestock traders, resulting
in a reduction in the price of live cat
tie of at least 81 per hundred pounds
in the past two weeks. it is resolved
that the exchange invites speedy and
thorough investigation of the alleged
beef combine with view Of settling
the question in the most efficaciouS
manner; thus permitting the livestock
business to resume its normal con-
dition. Be it further resolved, that to
the best of our information and belief
based upon. fair opportunity for. OBJ
tanning accurate information there is
a shortage in the visible supply OF
cattle to be marketed in 1885, which Is
sufficiently responsible for the advance
In the price of cattle and that to our
certain knowledge the benefits so far
accrued from this condition have gone
to the cattle raisers and feeders more
than to any other parties interested.
Another resolution was adopted ask
ing the National Livestock Exchange
to call meeting of it's executive COM
mittee at the earliest possible day to
take action looking to a speedy in
vestigation of the alleged beef COM
bine SO that the truth be known and
published.

PITTSBURG, April %. = Almost
the entire business portion of

destroyed by fire of supposed in
cendiary origin, which broke out at
"A. m. The fire started in Peterson'sl
grocery, on Railroad street, and in
thirty minutes had spread over the
entire block. The borough is wholly
without fire apparatus, and a bucket
brigade was the only resistance to
the flames. From Railroad street.
the town runs back over a hill of
considera bic isteepness. About. the
time the flames began to spread, a
high wind arose and drove the
flames up the hillside, with the re-
suit that everything in its path
was destroyed. The following is a
partial list of the losses, as many
residences and business properties
are not enumerated, their owners
and occupants being scattered:
Peterson's grocery, the First Ma
tional bank building, three-story
brick structure; the Duquesne phar-
macy, the Eagle pharmacy, the
postoffice, McClure's shoe store, the
Gerst grocery, Wake & Co.'S gen.
eral store, John Blacks Office, resi-
dence and drug store, DR.. Keiser's
office and residence, Phlegert's dry
goods store, l.. & 1. BedelPs whole
sale liquor store, A. B. Hilman's
clothing store, lSpearing & Bon
ner's general store, several barber
shops, two hardware stores and a
butter store. .Ese
The town is panic-stricken, and
it is impossible to secure an accurate
estimate; of individual losses. By
reason of the lack of water and
fire apparatus, but little insurance
was carried by property owners in
the burned district, as the insurance
companies. We're chary of taking
risks, and the premiums are so
high as to be about prohibitiye.
The Allegheny Bessemer Steel
works were shut down as soon as
the extent of the fire was apparent,
and the workmen were organized
into bucket brigades to fight the
Hames. Owing to the rapid head
way of the fire and the high wind,
their efforts were wholly Intellectual.
1t is now estimated that the loss
will amount to about $4,000. AL
though there were a large number
OF buildings destroyed, yet they

JOAQUIN MILLER AS LorHARIo.
The Poet Mixed Up i'm n Hawaiian
Scandal.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Joa-
quin Miller, ''the poet of the Sierras."
who is notable for his eccentricities
of apparel, as well as for the qualities
of his verse, figures as a tickle lover
in a tale which has been waited
by Southern breezes from the Hawai-
ian islands. The name of the young
woman connected with the poet in
the gossip is Arraba Miller Oliver.
She is about seventeen years of age.
and her freshness and beauty con-
trast with the advancement in life of
the famous poet.
The story from the islands Is that
Miller abandoned the young woman.
who is soon to become a mother and
that she is now wholly dependent on
charity. She is living with a native
family, and has been waiting in vain
for assistance from Miller. When he
arrived in Honolulu, he represented
that she was his daughter, the re-
port stated. Jotquin Miller was ad
verse to agreeing to discuss the aceu-
sation when visited by reporter yes
terday. He did not want to enter
into any dispute with the girl, in or
der to defend himself, and was willing
that her statements go uncontradict-
ed. 1t appears that he is still fond of
her, and from a remark which he
dropped, it was inferred that he might
return to Honolulu, if he can do so
with safety, for the purpose of seeing
