NJ EAN ATTACK.

The troubles Of the Butte a. Boston
company are attracting considerable in
tcrcst in Boston and New York, allcga
tiOns being freely made that the wreck
ing of the company was in pursuance Of
plan on the part of the bondholdcrs
and creditors to freeze out the stock
holders and get possession Of the prop
crty. Among the several critics Of both
the Butte d Boston and the Boston d
Montana is the New York Mining and
Engineering journal, which has never
missed an opportunity OF abusing the
management Of each concern. In the
current number Of the journal is IA nanon-
ymouB commu nication which charges
that the Bigelow syndicate, which has
controlled both Of the properties in
question, has unloadrd virtually all Of
the Butte q Boston stock on the public
except 10000 shares held by the Davis
estate, and has acquired a majority OF
the mortgage and also advanced enough
money to cover by attachment the hold
ings Of the company not &c
cured by mortgage. AS to the
correctness OF this abatement we have
nothing to say, but there is one among
the many charges made by the anony
NOUS correspondent that is entitled tt
notice. One paragraph in the indict
ment reads: 81 he Anaconda company
has brought a suit for 100000 for tres
pass on the Bell claim, and with thu
present lnilUences in the courts tn,

The city treasurer Of Tacoma seized
and is holding a Pullman car for delin-
quent taxes alleged to be due the city
The car was part OF Northern Pacific
train and the officials OF that road say
that the treasurer has placed himself in
contempt OF the United States court be-
cause the road is in the hands of recev
ers. The treasurer is not at all alarmed,
but is holding on to his prize. He is
evidently OF the opinion that is shared
by many others that receivership does
not exempt corporation from the ordi-
nary processes of law or permit it to
escape taxation.

and attention is called to the letter
spoken OF, only for the purpose of show
ing that it has not escaped notice, and to
call the attention Of the Mining and
Engineering journal to the fact that it
owes an apology to the gentlemen who
we're the objects Of the structures OF its
correspondent. Because the Journal does
not admire the management OF the Butte
& Boston, there ls no reason why it's
columns should be made the vehicle for
uncalled for slurs upon the judiciary of
this state.

Because OF the unwarranted and igno-

Laren OF the Montana Central has re-
signed and will sever his connection with
the company at an early date. BY those
who have had business, as we'll as per
sona, relations with Mr.. McI4aren this
news will be received with regret. AS
railroad man his capacity is unqueB-
toned, but it appearo in his case and
that of other officers OF the road who
have been stationed at Great Falls that
ability, coupled with Il faculty of main
tanning agreeable relations with the pa
irons Of the road arc qualities that are
at discount in the St. Paul office. Ap-
pearances indicate that the mo,toes of tho
Great Northern moguls are,"We Know 1t

time may come when they will change
their tune. In the meantime let it be
distinctly understood that the next leg
isiature OF Montana will be called upon
to enact laws to regulate railroad traffic

Superintendent.
And Great Falls Will Lose X Re-
spected Citizen-tieneral Re.
gret Expressed

The information has leaked out and IL
generally known among the employees of
the Montana Central railway in the
headquarters Office that their cEief, Supt
McLaren, has sent in his resignation to
General Manager Warren at st. Paul
and insisted on its acceptance. Much
regret is expressed in consequence, as
Mr.. McLaren has won the respect and
liking OF his eubordinAtes in no coIamon
degree since his arrival here, couple
OF years ago.

last month, to take effect March |. As
soon AS relieved / expect to 90 to Gin
cinnati, my old home. My future plans
are AS yet indefniic, but expect to COZ
tinue in the rallroad business, which I
have followed all my life / do not care
to discuss the reasons which have deter
mined me to insist on the acceptance OF
my resignation. but / can truthfully say
that | am sorry to leave Great Falls,
where have made many friends and &C
quaintances. like the climate and the
people Of Montana and have strong
belief in the future success and growth
OF Great Falls ="
Mr.. MclIaren WAS appointed general
superintendent OF the Montana Central
just after the big strike a couple of
years ago, and brought with him a
splendid reputation as a successful and
practical railroad man, having served in
about every capacity on the road from
the ground up, and in addition to this,
having taken four year course in
technical college and become practical
civil engineer and railroad builder. To
these qualifications was added a prac-
tical experience of 20 years. in the rail
road service. 1t was generally under
stood when he came here that he was
given wider authority and freedom than
any OF his predecessors, and the result,
as shown in the improved condition of
the road in every department., amply JUS
titled the wisdom of his selection. just
why his resignation was sent in cannot
be authoritatively stated, bat it is pretty
generally understood in certain official
circles, connected with the road, that he
would not tolerate the PERSISTENT inter
ference and dictation Of General Manager
Warren in the detaile OF the manage
ment Of the Montana Central, which
practically deprived him OF the authority
necessary TO the fullre' euccnee aR re.
epOneIble OK CutiVc officer. This COURSE,
it is eaii. WAS in volation Of 'he under
standing made AZ the time Mr.. MrI.arcn
assumed the position. and h5 would not
tolerate it, hence the resignation.

Man, Ii Out of His job.
The New York World OF March IL
contains column article devoted to tho
troubles OFF a. MacKnight, at one time
editor of The TRIBUNE IN this city and
we'll known as a newspaper man in this
state. After leaving Great Falls he went
to New York and finally secured posi-.
ton as manager of the st. Bartholomew
Loan Association, an institution started
by wealthy members of DIR. GREEN'S
church, which the Vanderbits and
other wealthy families attend.
( AIhe association WAS organized for the
purpose of losning money to the deserv-
ing poor at 6 per cent per annum on the
security of personal property, such az
household furniture, etc. 1t had cap
ital of $4,000 and, according to Man
ager MacKnghts early reports, had
proved II self sustaining proposition and
accomplished vast amount Of good by
saving tne needy poor from the extor-
tion OF chattel mortgage sharke and
pawnbrokers. 1t appears, however, that
Mr.. Mcknight had been making too
many looms on security Of a personal
character, anu hfter gOOd deal OF
wraneling his reslgnation WAS requested
Mack night il quoted rs saying:
AT the meetlrY of Feb. 10 it was de-
clded to request 1ny resignation. ! re-
fused to resign until the cases of these
poor people were settled up with the
leas. hardship TO thsm. then received
letter from DR.. Greer saying that my
connection with the loan association
would terminate on March l. and 1t did.
"The business did not make q profit
under my management, but J. never sup
posed that it wac intended that it should"
DIR. Greer surns up the situation as
follows: II had nothing whatever to do
with forcing Mr.. MacKaight out. The
facts are simply these: Many OF our
debtors were allowed to fall as far as
nine months behsnd and we did not
press them. Even when mortgages be-
came due two or three months grace
was allowed. But under Mr.. Mac
Knights management there got to be too
much OF that kind of thing. He did not
propose to forec)oss mortgages at all.
We believed that our $4,000 was being
frittered away. 1t was evident that
everybody WAS taking advantage Of Mr..
MacKnight's unbueinesslike methods."

The patriotic Irish Americana OF Great

in an enthusiastic manner They

green ribbons seen In the button holes OF
pedestrians were worn by Irish h-Ameri
cans, the population Of this city must be
largely made up Of descendants Of the
sons Of Erin. he entertainment given in
the evening at Myers hal brought out one
OF the largest audiences ever assembled
in that building. It WAS crowded
to. its uttermost capacity with those
anxious to listen to the speech Of the
orator of the evening, Attorney M. Leahy
OF Butte, who took for his theme "Pa-
triotism." and described in eloquent
words tho virtues Of the IRISH Ameri-
cans sketching briefly the history of the
race and telling the audience what the
men Of Irish blood and Catholic religion
had done TO serve the country OF their
adoption. He prefaced his ora
ton with come remarks on tho
day We celebrate and the life
and the works of st. Patrick. After the

THE i.NTUCKY EPISODE.

The capital city of K kentucky has been
transformed into garrison and by or
der Of the governor armed forces have
taken possession of the state house. For
this there is no apparent excuse. II is
true that from the opening OF the scH.
sion Of the legislature to the present
time there has been much excitement,
but at no period has there been any con-
duct that would Justify the cxtrordi-
nary proceeding Of the executive. There
can be but one explanation for his act
and that is Az discrcditablc to him
as it is harmful to the good
name OF the state. In order to make
party capital for the republicans, Mr.
Bradley called upon the troops, not to
maintain order, for that was not neccs-
sary, but in the hope that his revolu
tionary act might anger the democrats
and precipitatc trouble. That the good
men of the democratic party IN the
legislature foiled his infamous design is
to their credit; yet had they resented
force by force, they could not have been
too blame. The incident will long be
remembered in Kentucky and will ever
be proof Of the desperate straits to
which republicans will resort to accom-
plish a purpose, no matter how illegiti-
mate it may be.
