CONGRESSMAN sTRoWD.

This gentleman was in the city Mon
day. and judging from the reports
that reach the Congressman ears, ne
is not in very good humor. He IS
reported to have said that there would
be mo fusion between the Democrats
and Populiss on the electoral tic5et;
that the Democrats did not want free
silver, and cited as proof the fact that
they had put up candidate for Con-
oress in the Fourth district. n re-
gard to fusion on the electoral ticket
he spoke earnestly and with an air
that seemed to say i know what am
talking about"
If the Populists decline to accept
the proposition made them by tins.
Democrats. then the burden Of proof
will be upon them to show that they
are for free silver.

BOUT THE WEATHER,
The Cattle Ranges Are Now In Fairly
Good Condition.

The Cattle Ranges Are Now In Fairly
Good Condition.
James T, Stanford, vice president OF
the Northwestern National bank, in a
conversation with a TRIBUNE reporter
yesterday said that reports from stock
men from all parts of the state show
that the ranges all over Montana are
now pretty clear of snow and in fairly
good condition. The late chinook and
prolonged spell OF warm weather have
proved the salvation Of the stock men.
In some sections of the state there was
some loss from the previous cold weather
and inability Of the cattle to secure feed,
but it was not very great. Since the
mild weather set in the stock men have
been busy on the ranges rounding up
their cattle and cutting out the weak
cows and young calves that felt the
hardships OF the past month most 60.
verely with a view to feeding and fur
nishlng them with some shelter and in
this way reducing the chances of loss
during the coming winter to a minimum.
Cattle are now getting plenty of feed
on the ranges, and yet the cattlemen
realize that they have ehrunk a good
deal and are not in as good condition as
is usual at this season Of the year to
weather the hardships of an ordinary
Montana winter. If conditions should
prove unfavorabie later, the loss might
yet be pretty heavy, but the prospect
before them short time ago was so
very gloomy that present conditions
seem encouraging by contrast. Ii the
chiuook had not come along last month
and the deep snow had continued, in
many sections the cattle would have
been just about exterminated.

utnts, which bad been found upon the
bodies, and which we're described in the
dispatches exclusively to the Associated
Press yesterday. After reading theeo
documents, Msj, Cirujeda says, he be-
came convinced that the bodies which
his troops had abandoned were
those of Antonio Naceo and young
Gomez, But it was then too late to
return and recover them. Mai. Cru
Ieda, however, expressed the firm
belief that they were those OF Maceo
ana Gomez's son. 1t is thus seen
that there has been no actual identifca-
ton of the bodies themselves, the con-
viction as to identity resting upon the
evidence of documents and articles found
upon them There is no doubt, how
ever, of the assurance of the general pub
lie here that Maceo is dead. 1t is point
ed out that he met bis death in man
ner similar 10 that of Jose Marti and
Sayas His loss is regarded as the heav-
lest blow the re EVOLUTION has received.
aud il is felt that his continued life was
all that could save the insurgent move
ment, lie Was the most personal char
gcter OF the outbreak.

HAvA&A, Dec. 9--The confident claims

EVIDENCE FOR F|TzS|MMONS
Sharlteys Own Trainers and Conf
dants Testify for the Aus
tIalian.

SAN FEANCIsCo, Dec. "a morning
paper publishes the following: George
Allen, one Of the men who trained Tom
Sharkey for his fight with Fitzsimmons,
has made a confession to the effect that
Fit2simmons was deprived of his victory
through q conspiracy. The trainer and
the Sharkcy management quarreled over
money matters, it is said, and in the heat
of the moment Allen made threats OF
what he would do if he were not paid for
his services. Attorney kowalsky, repre-
sonting Fitzsimmons, heard of the cir
cumetances and employed private detec-
tives to gather in the irate trainer. He
was run to ground yesterday and in
duced to tell the whole story.
The Fitzsimmons,S ,Sharkey injunction
case will be called in Judge Sandersons
court today. 1t was down on the c8len-
dar for hearing day later, but plaintiffs
attorneys besought the court to take up
the matter today, as they were afraid
that valuable testimony in their posses.
sion might not keep. They have no par
tcular faith in their men and propose TO
take no chances. 1t is claimed that
Allen, in an affidavit, named Wyatt
Earp, Dan J Lynch, Tom Sharkey and
Dan Needham as the prime movers in
the plot The whole scheme is said to
have been hatched at Sharkey'e training
quarters at Ocean Beach. 1t was ar
ranged that Sharkey was to make it ap-
pear that he had been fouled at some
point in the contest when he was in
danger Of losing from Fitzsimmons'
blows; further, that the signal was to be
given by SharKey, who was TO bend over
and place his hand on his groin, ard at
that moment Needham was to jump into
the ring and claim foul. Then theref-
cree was to give a decision in favor of
