these rates in behalf of the interests
r presented by the woolgrowers.
This, however, was not satisfactory
to the wool growers, and after a
brief discussion over the contested
points involved, the conference ad-
journed without accomplishing any
thing. Thereupon two of the
growers association assembled for
the purpose of determining what
would be done. After "a long session
the special committee of seven here
tofore appointed was authorized to
submit today to the manufacturers
a schedule of rates stated by some of
the growers to be an ultimatum,
somewhat modifying the demands
originally submitted by the growers
for Incorporation into the new tariff
bill. These notifications are slightly
less rate Of duty, the growers max
ing such concessions as they felt they
could for the sake of harmony, and
which they hope the manufacturers
will support. The association re-
fused to make the rates public before
they are submitted to the manufac-
turers.

IGreat Falls Leader.l

lJreat r ais ledutI-J
For the first time for a number of
years there are no vacancies in the
United States senate, as the admis-
sion of senator Kenney from Dele
ware the other day makes ninety
members now in that body. These
are devided as follows: Republicans.
including silver Republicans except
Teller and Dubois, "A; Democrats, 40,
and Populists and Independent, q.
OF this Number 30 go out of office on
the 4th of March, next, divided as
follows: Republicans, II; Democrats,
IA; Populists and Independents. 4.
OF the senators to take their places
the Populists will have six, includ-
ing Teller and Jones of Nevada, If
they select a senator in South Dakota.
The Republicans will makea gain OF
four if they elect in Kentucky and
Oregon, which they are almost sure
to do, and the Democrats lose six,
leaving them only eight of the new
members.
This will make the senate after
March consist of IS Republicans, 81
Democrats and eight POpulist and
independent. 1t is a little difficult
to determine just how the senate
will stand on the silver question, but
if all members who have heretofore
voted for free coinage stand i'm the
same way now, then silver has a
small majority.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE KILLED.
The Lower House Saves the Senate the
Trouble-..Lacked Five Votes.

HELENA, Feb. .13th-Notwithstan
ing that the house in committee of
the whole had recommended the
woman suffrage bill for passage by IA
sufficient majority to warrant the
belief that the bill would be adopted,
the bill lacked five votes of the nec-
cessary two-thirds majority when it
came up for third reading and the
hopes of the fair sex fell to earth. A
notable fact is that the vote was
identical with that on the initiative
and referendum bill, though the
same members did not oppose.
Ramsey of Gallatin, however. led the
opposition to both measures and
scored notable victories.
Messrs. Perrine and Watkins both
cast their votes for the equal suffrage
bill.
In the senate Thursday the com
mittee on towns and counties, in
accordance with the tacit under
standing had when the bill limiting
the duties of boards of appraisers OF
real estate was indefinitely postponed
by the committee of the whole, re-
ported favorably the bill introduced
by Senator Chandler, repeating the
section of the code by which the
board of appraisers was created.
The law now standing, has been
found to be of doubtful meaning, az
to whether it empowered boards OF
appraisers to appraise real estate
only, or also the improvements on it,
The bill by Senator Norris corrected

the board should appraise the real
estate only and not the improve.

| A communication was received
from the senate returning Mr.. Dee's
bill making eight hours days
work for stationary engineers (H. B.
No. 22). The senate had amended
| the bill, and the house concurred in
| the amendments. The amendment
struck cut the word STATIONARY"
and inserted engineers of mine
hoists."
The following bills have been in
troduced by Fergus county members:
By Mr.. Misunderstanding the per
diem OF county commissioners SO and
their mileage 10 cents a mile.
H. B. No. 265, by Mr.. Perrine: To
amend the ballot law by eliminating
the circle.
H. B. No. 249. by Mr.. Perrine: To
change the boundaries OF Fergus
county.
A bill which has already caused
considerable debate in the house is
that introduced by China, providing,
first that it shall be unlawful for any
one to sell liquor by retail on credit
and second that in case anyone does
so, he cannot collect the bill by suit
Its originator claims that the bill is
fy-,r nd bn
and children OF inebriates.
There has been introduced ia the
house a bill providing for the cutting
OF the salarie of the officers and all
attaches of the legislature, but leav-
ing the members per diem as now
and increasing their mileage from 10
to Is cents. Trough manifestly un-
just, such measure will probably
| find favor among members on the
grounds of economy.
HELENA, Feb. 3rd.-Special to the
ARGUs-Saturday the senate passed
unanimously Watts educational
bill as amended i'm committee of the
| whole Friday. Senator Hannah's
bill reducing salaries of state officers
was Indefinitely postponed.
The house finally passed the free
text book bill as amended. The sec
tion of the bill which made the adop-
| ton of the free book and free supply
provision optional with school dis
tricts, was enlarged so as to take in
whole counties. As the bill was
amended county commissioners may
submit the question to the voters of
the whole county at general elec-
tion on a separate ballot.
| Monday the senate passed the bill
introduced by Hannah to amend the
ballot law. 1t practically restores
the ballot of two years ago, candi-
dates being grouped under the name
of the Office and the circle feature of
the present law is eliminated. Sena-
ator Chandler has introduced a bill
providing for a board of sheep COM
missioners, similar to the board of
stock commissioners, which gives its
whole attention to cattle.
| For some time past bills which
had passed were being hung up in
the house owing to some trivial dis
agreement between the bodies.
These bills have now been referred
to committees and will be brought
before the body for consideration.
Tuesday the house passed the Met
eel meat inspection bill, limiting its
provisions to cities of 10000 or more.
1t is optional with other cities or
| towns and does not affect country
districts.
