but Bimetallism is Impossible Under
Free Trade-Predicts Return of Bolting
Republicans.
Helena, Mont, September Ex-senator
Carter's statement regarding the course
of conduct he pursued as delegats
to the ST. Louis convention is published
today in the form of an open letter so
the members of the Republican state
convention, which the Senator says he
will De unable to attend. The Senator
lauds the Republican party for Its
achievements and reoiting the action Of
the national convention on the currency
question, declares that he! was dissatis-
fed with the declaration In favor of the
gold standard. The platform of the Chi
oago convention is denounced as load
greater than silver can bear.
He adds, II do not believe in free
coinage coupled with free trade. / do
not believe both can be successfully es-
tablished and maintained by our gov
ernment. The free trade policy will rem
der the establishment Of bi-metallism sn
utter impossibility. After looking the
whole situation over it will be found
that the Republican party has not de-
clared in favor of the gold standard,
but in favor Of the restoration of silver. -
He regards the Republican declaration
as too conservative, but as between iss
acceptance and that of the Chicago plat
form with its free trade, state rights,
free riot and other objectionable feat
ures," the Senator finds no room to hest
tate and urges the placing of Mckinley
electors In the field as the duty of Mon
tana.
He denies the right of delegates to no.
| inmate Bryan electors and advises the
| silver Republicans who support Bryan
| to keep their hands off the convention,
while asking the broadcast possible chari-
| ty for them at the hands of the delegates.
In the future, as In the past, the Senator
says, he will stand for protection and
free coinage and will give Mckinley
his support because he thinks the best
interest Of the state and country will be
as subserved by a epublioan victory.
He advises the state convention to de-
clare for free coinage in its platform
and endorse the rest of the national plat
form. In conclusion the Senator predicts
the return of the boiling Republicans.

Powers at Constantinople Puzzled How t
Dispose of Armenians.

London, Sep tenn ber S.-The Constanti-
nople representative of the United Associ-
ated presses telegraphinR under date Of
yesterday, says that during the recent
rioting inEthat city sconsuls OF various
powers arranged that many Armenians
should 60 ON board the different ships In
the harbor where they would be safe from
massacre. This humane action resulted
in somewhat awkward predioament
as tho government now forbids
the landing or transfer of the
refugees. A conference Of ambassadors
was held Monday regarding the course to
be pursued as to such refugees.
1t was arranged 10 appoint mixed
commission to take charge of the matter.
The despatch adds that the oonsulateA
are still engaged in sending Armenians
OF means out OF the country. The govern
ment is shipping all Armenfans Of the
lower olass to their birth places. Many
long time residents Of the city have been
obliged to leave their families and return
to places where they wwece born, their
enfof ced departure entailing much hard
ship and peouniary loss. Each man thus
sent away receives from the government
free passage and 50 In money.

My specific object in this little communal
