The following interview, taken from
the Standard of yesterday, will interest
Capt. Couch's many friends in this
locality:
capt. Thomas Couch, general super
intendent of the Boston g. Montana
properties, who returned from England
Tuesday, was seen last evening in regard
to his political views in the present cam
paign. The fact that Superintendent
Klepetko OF the Great Falls smelter
was an active delegate in the Mckinley
part of the republican convention at
Helena, and the fact that one of the EN-.
ployes of the Boston d Montana is one
of the candidates for Mckinley elector,
have led some to surn.ise that the COM
panys influence was to be directed in
McKinley's favor
captain Couch, who, by the way, is
lifelong republican, said last evening
in reply to the question of the Standard
reporter: Il am for Bryan, heart and
soul. If l live until November shall
certainly vote for him and only regret
that l have not 80 votes to give him. l
have been advocating bimetallism for Is
years or longer, and have been sincere
in it. l advocated it because I really
believed it would be beneficial to the
country, and l still believe So After be-
lieving in bimetallism and preaching BIZ
metallism all these years l am certainly
not going to vote against the only
chance Of securing it.
"'But Bryan has hard fight. 1t
seems as though all the money power
and all the big newspapers are against
him. Every possible influence is heing
brought to bear to induce men to vote
for Mckinley. Bryan is young, vigor-
Gus, magnetic and makes an impression
in every place he goes. 1t looks like a
hard case, but Mckinley is not elected
yet by any means, and from the efforts
that are being made in his behalf it is
evident that the Mckinley men don't
think they have a sure thing. Why
right in New York city, every day, in all
the big business establishments, paid
speakers come around at the noon hour
to pump the gold standard into the en-
ployes. That was never done before in
the history of politics; and it shows toe
that they have not any cinch. II Bryan
wins it will be the independence of the
American voters that will elect him. am
afraid there are not enough OF the
independent voters to elect him. When
the workingmen are told every day that
if Bryan is elected the factories will all
shut down and the stores be closed, that
the banks will go up and the whole
country suffer from panic, it has some
effect on the workingmen. All that is,
of course, the veriest nonsense. Business
men are not going to fail Just because
Mckinley is not elected. Employers are
not going to shut down their factories
merely for spite work ON their employees
There can be no panic unless it is
forced by the BANKERS, and don't think
they will care to 60 into that business
any moro.
"'Back east there are no parties any
more. There is no discussion Of the tariff
question--pot bit. All the talk is sin
gle standard and bimetalism. The
| effort to make protection the issue has
utterly failed. No one is talking protec
| tion any more"

They raise their howl against M.
Bryan that he is arraying the masses O.
the people against the classes. Why,
this comes with bad grace from those
men who have made classes in this coun-
try by class legislation; they are not in a
position now to talk danger OF their own
wrong and say, "You should not array
one class against another" but by their

SEAL-kILLING CASE.
Uncle Sans Suit Against the North
American Commercial Company.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1T have a faint
idea OF the controversy now," remarked
Judge Wallace in the United States Circuit
Court, this afternoon. when taking of evi-
dence for and against the motion made by
United States District Attorney MacFarlane
in behalf of the United States to restrain
the North American Commercial Company
from taking seals on the islands of ST. Paul
and ST. George in the waters of Alaska,
was closed. For the past three days tthe
examination of witnesses and the present
ing of documentary evidence has been going
on before Judge Wallace, but it was not
until thelast few minutes of the hearing that
it was made apparent what Mr.. MacFar-
lane on the one side and lawyers Carter and
Ledyard on the other, have been driving
at For the United States is was asserted
that the Secretary of the Treasury under
the law had the right TO limit the number
of seals to be taken each season by the
North American Commercial Company so
as to preserve the herds that visited the
two islands in Alaska, and there was there
fore no breaking Of the contract and that
the taxes and lease money should be paid
to the government. Mr.. Carter contended,
however, that the action of the Secretary
or the Treasury was unwarranted because
the seals were plentiful, and by the limit
ing of the number OF skins TO be taken or
the Islands of ST. Paul and St. George to
10000, the contract had been broken ard
the business of the North American Com
mercial Company almost ruined.
During the hearing the interesting fact
was brought out that all the special treas
ury agents sent to investigate and super
intend the killing of seals later on procured
paying positions in the service of the
North American Commercial Company with
the exception of Charles J. Goff. Large
bundles of official papers were submitted by
both sides for Judge Waiiace's considera-
ton. Among the witnesses examined were
Congressman w. p Hepburn. George T
Engle, General Nettleton, Charles j. Goff
President Liebes and Superintendent Fra
zer, of the North American company. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamln
watched the case for the Treasury Depart
ment.
District Attorney MacFariane succeeded
in proving that sealing was done on the
two islands during the year 1899. and that
the herd had been greatly lessened in
Der from the time the lease was made. TNe
North American Commercial Company
however, succeeded in getting the fact be-
fore the court through the evidence of one
OF the company's agents, George II. Tingle
who at one time was employed by the Treas
ury Department. that in 1893 as many as
80 coo seals could easily have been taken

Gonzales Quesadn Pleased.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.--rhe news of the
prospective change in command of Office
of captain general of Cuba and comman-
der-in-chief of the forces is confirmed here.
Minister De LONE has received a dispatch
from Madrid saying in effect that owing
to General Campos's differences with the
political parties in Cuba the government
has given leave to the General TO resign
his commission and to leave the island.
The minister's advices say nothing as to
General Campos's probable successor. Gen.
Polavieja, whom the dispatch from Madrid
announces has been decided on for that
position, has filled the Office of Governor
General OF Cuba, and has spent nearly all
his life on the island. He is yet a COM
paratively young man. and now holds the
position of chief Of the military household
of the Queen.
Waen Gonzales Quesada the secretary
OF the Cuban revolution party in the United
States, was informed. OF the intended ap-
pointment of General Polavieja he ex-
claimed with enthusiasm: Good; that is
worth ten battles to us. This is considered
as a confession of the fate. of the Spanish
government in Cuba, as General Campos
was the first military chief in Spain and
boon of the ablest politicians. In this opin-
ion we we are Nn,s borne s out by general Azearra-

of the resignation of Campos, said the re-

drinking freely, one OF them became very
abusive and threatening. Presently be

His Temporary Successor.

MADRID, Jan. 1.-THE Cabinet has unan-
imously decided to supersede Captain Gen.
eral Martinez de Campos and his lieutenant,
General Arderius, owing to differences
which exist between them and the political
parties in Cuba.
General Marin and General Pando, who
are now in command Of Spanish troops in
the province of Santiago de Cuba, will re-
place Generals Campos and Arderius tenn
porarily.
The names of General Polavieja and Gen.
weyler are both of them mentioned for the
post of commander -in-chief in Cuba.
A Madrid dispatch to the London Standard
says: Learning of the decision of the
various political parties in Cuba, General
fering to adopt any course that would serve
Spain's interests. General Marian. has been
appointed temporary Governor of the island
and General Pando commander of the forces
pending the arrival of General Polavieja,
who has been appointed to the chief COM
mand."
When the Spanish government was or
ganizing its forces to oppose the Cuban in
surrection, early last year, General Pola-
vieja was slated by public rumor for the
position of Captain General of the Spanish
forces in Cuba to succeed General Callea,
it being doubtful at that time whether
Campos would be willing to undertake the
task But his slccess as a paci6cator in
the former nsurrecnon led to the selection
of Campos and a sssiance upon tie more
conciliatory policy which he vowed 1t was
his intention to pursue towards the Cubans.
with the hope of winning them to peace.
General Polavieja. according to all re-
ports, is of very different character. He
is commander of the Spanish Sixth Army
Corps. and has not been without experience
in Cuba, where his name seems to be hated
and feared by the insurgents. He was on
the island as subordinate to Martinez
Campos at the time of the Virginius affair.
Cuban patriots tell many stories of his in
human methods during the last Cuban up
rising. One OF these stories is to the effect
that he once sent company of soldiers to
escort some Cuban prisoners from the in
terror to Jail. On the way all the prisoners
were shot, 1t is said, by order of Polavieja.
1t has been claimed by the Cubans when
previous rumors OF Polavieja's appoint
ment to succeed Campos have been circu-
lated, that his appointment would drive
many residents Of the island into the insur-
gent ranks who had hitherto refrained from
joining owing to the confidence that Campos
would adhere strictly to all the rules of
warfare in his operations against the insur-
gents
