WOOL MARKET.
A Good Day for saIes-The Buyers Had
to Hustle.

A Good Day for Sales-The Buyers Had
to Hustle.
Great Falls, fully 2s.-This was a good
day for sales at the wool warehouse and
the buyers had to hustle in order to go
through all the clips offered. Hereafter a
blackboard will be put in place and the
clips to be offered will be posted thereon
at the beginning of the morning session.
The growers continue to heed the request
of the buyers, and no prices are quoted
until the close of the market. This of
course means that the departure of some
of the growers makes il unusually difficult
and unnecessarily difficult for the reporter
to obtain prices. There is absolutely no
sense in such an arrangement, n 1t
means in the end the detriment of the
grower.

clough at l6% cents. The Jackson Sheep
company sold los sacks 10 Livingston at

None can fores ee the outcome of the quarrel

pieces of this ancient but unprogressive race.
Many people in America are also going to pieces

Madrid April Limited States Minister
Woodford has issued the following state
ment to the Spanish press: The Mad
rid newspapers of this morning are filled
with statements concerning the Ameri-

he asks the courtesy of the press to cor
rect them. He does this in the interest
of friendship and peace.

tion forbid him making any statement
with regard to his diplomatic action with
the Spanish government. But last Sep
tember the Spanish foreign office received
written permission to publish the text of
any official correspondence which he
should receive at any time with Spanish
government. and this permission is effect
i've today. The Spanish government Is
at complete liberty to publish every word
he has ever addressed to the foreign office

The daughter of the minister remains
with him at Madrid He has not given up
his residence. where he expects to reside
so long he shall remain accredited to

THE American minister has received
nothing but courtesy from the people of
Madrid. He has never had the slight
est apprehension to his own personal
safety or that of his family. He Is work
ing for peace. and despite all rumors to
the contrary. he still hopes peace will be
kept between Spain and the United
States. and that peace will soon be re-
established in Cuba. based upon absolute
justice. with protection for the great

To buy Two More Vessels.

New York. April THE auxiliary
cruiser board has been instructed to ex-
anime the Normannia and Columbia
with a view to their purchase for use
as war vessels. These steamers ply be-
tween New York and Hamburg in the
service of the Hamburg American line
and are now in Europe. Both are ex-
ceedingly fast. The Normannia has
made the run from Southampton to
New York at an average speed of more
than 20 knots an hour. The Columbia
is very nearly as fast. Both vessels
have demonstrated their seaworthiness
under the most adverse conditions. The
Normannia was once swept by tidal
wave and lived through it like a cork.
The vessels We're built in Scotland. The
Normannia Is 500 feet long. 81 feet beam
and "a feet deep. The Columbia is AGA
feet long, 55 feet beam and 81 feet deep.
They are considered two of the best
vessels of the line.
