FEARS A SPLIT ~ The DEMOCRACY
Mayor Steele OF Helene Talks on Silver
TO "A Chicago Reporter.

Chicago, Feb. Mayor William l..
Steele and Miss Steele. who recently
christened the gunboat Helena at New
port News, are at the Auditorium on
their way home to Helena, Mont. In
an interview the mayor said he was
staunch democrat, also a free silver
man.
II fear" said he, that the democratic
national convention will probably spill
on the silver question. A straight free
coinage plank with a candidate we
know to be an honest friend of silver is
what we want. If the convention viii
not give US that then the democrats of
the west will probably go to a free sill
yer party. Montana republicans have
no idea the st. Louis convention is going
| to do anything for silver. Montana S
delegate to Chicago probably will cast
their votes for Morrison, although they
will be friendly to Morgan of Alabama
or Daniel of Virginia With a free sill
yer plank. any OF these men can carry
every mining state of the west"

Letter to Queen Victoria Saying They
Are Abused.

Constantinople. Feb. THE sultan
has replied to the autograph letter
from Queen Victoria which it had been
understood was a personal appeal to
the better nature of the sultan against
the condition of Asia Minor, sympathiz-
ing with her in humane sentiments ex-
pressed and declaring that reports of
the massacres were spread by evil dis
posed persons. The sultan adds that,
contrary to all allegations, the Turks
were first attacked while praying in a
mosque. The sultan assured the queen
that the measures which had been ta-
ken had succeeded in restoring order;
that except at Zeitoun quiet prevails
everywhere and negotia tions going on
with the insurgents at Zeitoun will un-
doubtedly lead the inhabitants to quiet.
Regarding the request of Minister
Terrell, that the United States legation
be allowed a second dispatch boat for
its services, the Turkish cabinet con
tends that as the passage of the straits
of Dardanelles was regulated by an
agreement between the six powers the
United States must apply to them for
necessary permission, as she is not a
party to the treaty of Paris. On be-
half of the United States, it is under
stood, contention is made that the reg
ulations do not apply to the United
States, and she considers the straits of
Dardanelles to be open water. 1t is
stated in well informed circles that the
reason for the portes hesitation to
grant the request is the opposition Of
Russia

FoREsreRs AND THEIR TROUBLES
proc ,ediugs by Canadian Members
Against the Supreme Rauger.

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 7.--Advices re-
ceived from London say that the pro-
ceedings commenced by the Canadian
members of the Independent Order of
Foresters against the Supreme Ranger,
DR.. Oronhyatekha, and the executive
council of the order, to compel them to
repay to the endowment and other
funds large sums of money alleged to
have been improperly and Illegally di-
verted, and also to have declared null
and void changes in the constitution
made at meetings of the supreme lodge
in the United States and London, have
the support Of a large and influential
section of the English members of the
order.
For some time past there has been dis
satisfaction among the membership in
England, and which is very strong, with
the management of the organization,
and Reynolds newspaper the friendly
society and workingmen's organ has
for nearly a year kept up a continuous
attack upon it, claiming that it was up
on an unsOund basis and that present
methods were bound to result in over
whelming disaster The proceedings
begun in the high c aurt Of justice of this
city viii probably result in an investi-
cation of the English branch, promoted
by the Friendly Societies department
of the government.

London, Feb. 7.-Replying to a depu-
tation representing agricultural inter
ests, the first lord of the treasury, A b
Balfour informed his visitors that the
government was preparing various
measures for the relief of the agricul-
tural classes. Balfour also stated that
it was his personal conviction that ag-
riculture suffered doubly owing to the
present condition of the currency and
expressed his personal belief that the
reduced prices were largely due to the
artificial appreciation of gold which fol
lowed the decentralization of silver, and,
secondly, to the artificial advantage
given the producer in silver using coun-
tries over the producers in gold using
countries.

PENAL TIES FUR MOI PAYING TAXES
I1sho Laws Provide t,r 6 Per Cent After
the First MOndn in Mnreh.

I1sho Laws Provide t,r Per Cent Aftet
the First Monday in Narch.
Boise, Feb. 6.--Attorney General Par
sons has rendered an opinion on a tax
question that interests all the coun-
ties of the state. The law provides for
penalty of three per cent on taxes
after the first Monday in January, a
penalty of six per cent after the first
Monday in March and interest at ~ per
cent per annum. Ada county officials
were not charging interest in addition
to the penalty, but there was ques-
tion about it and the attorney general
was appealed to to decide the point.
His reply is as follows:
Answering question No. 1, which is
as follows: Under section 10 above re-
ferred, should the interest from the
frst Monday in January at u per cent
per annum be collected on delinquent
taxes paid before the first Monday in
March?' l will say, Yes
your second question is. Is the pen
atty of 6 per cent upon delinquent taxes
unpaid after the first Monday in March
In addition to the penalty of per cent
upon such taxes paid prior to the first
Monday in March?' My answer to
this question is, Yes +"
| He also holds that the charge of 25
| cents for advertising should be made
| against each piece of property assessed
| against any person.
