RUSSIA'S FRIENDLY STAND
KEENLY REGRETS OUTBREAK
 OF POSSIBILITIES.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs Hot

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, May 25
 The consular reports give notice of the declaration of neutrality by five CountTies-Russia, Greece Venezuela, the Netherlands and Canada. Particu- lar importance attaches to the declara- tiCn by Venezuela, because her ports would be of great value to the Spanish as places of refuge and as possible coal supplies in the event that the declara- ton of neutrality was withheld. The notice is dated Caracas, April 29. The Minister of Foreign Affairs took action on the day upon which he was notified by Minister Loomis that the United States had declared war. The notifica- tion does not go into details as to the rules of neutrality to be applied by Venezuela, nor deal with the question as to whether coal is to be a contra band or not. It expresses Venezuela's position in the one sentence:
 The republic will preserve the strict est neutrality during the contest
 The Dutch proclamation of neutral ity. in addition to the usual forms, eau tions all citizens of the Netherlands from becoming in any way involved in privateering, and they are also en- joined to respect the blockades. Touch ing the coal supply. the Dutch regula- tfon is that this shall be supplemented only to the extent necessary to permit the ship to reach the nearest port of the country to which it belongs, or that of one of it's allies in the war. Bellig- erents are forbidden to bring prizes into the Netherlands waters.
 The Canadian nT3Pian0 tiOn Is in the same terms as that of Great Britain except as to the preamble.
 The Russian declaration has one inn pOrtant statement not usual in such cases, as follows:
 The disagreementS which have re- gently arisen between Spain and the United States of America have induced the Imperial Government to seek, in concert with the other powers, some means which might prevent. an armed conflict between those two countries. Unhappily, our friendly measures are without results and a state of war now exists between Spain and the United States. It is with keen regret that the Imperial Government witnesses an armed conflict between two states to which it Is united by old friendship and deep sympathy. It is firmly resolved to observe with regard to the two bel ligerents a firm and impartial neutral 1 ity."
 The Grecian declaration is contained in a line stating that the strictest neu- trality will be maintained

Not even the opponents of ex-
pansion would today question the
wisdom of those who advocated the
annexation of the west many years
ago. Yet the great Daniel Web
ster put himself on record as op
posing such annexation in the
following words. "What do we
want of this vast, worthless area,
this region of savages and wild
beasts, of deserts of shifting sands
and whirlwinds OF dust, cactus and
prairie dogsg To what use could
we ever hope to put these great
deserts, or these endless mountain
ranges, impenetrable and covered
to their bases with eternal snow :?
What can we ever hope to do with
the western coast OF three thous-
and miles, rock bound, cherries
and uninviti g, with not a harbor
in 1t? What use have we for such
country? Mr.. President. will
never vote one cent from the
public treasury to place the
Pacific coast one inch nearer Bos-
tor than il is today.

before the justice of the peace of

mcClammy was represented by
Judge Davies of Helena and J. q.
Bair Of Choteau, and was acquitted.
The prosecuting attorney did not
argue the case.
This case has probably cost the
county two or three hundred
dol!ars-possibly more than that
and no good has come from the
expenditure, for the very SIMPLE
reason that McClammy was not
guilty of the crime charged against
him, and should have never been
arrested and brought back from

Referring to an item in the
Acantha week or so ago regard
ing the closing of Yu.e's saw mill
on the Dupuyer, the Inter.Lake of
Kalispell says:
"The Acantha overlooks or ig.
nores the fact that the mill was at
work on public lands, where it had
no right to be. and where the pro-
prietor knew he had no right to be.
If Mr.. Yule should be allowed to
cut timber wherever he pleased,
any one else would have the same
right, and the public lands would
soon be cut off. 1t is partly to
stop just such indisc rimiuate
cutting of timber as in this case
that he forestry reserve was
established.
The Inter- Lake might also have
added that Mr. Bremen has reason
to doubt MIR. Yule's willingness to
pay stumpage, etc., as represented
by the Acantha, in as much as a
case is now pending against him
for stumpage which, he refuses to
pay.-Montanian. -a.
AS usual, the Montanian is at
it's old trick of misrepresenting the
facts. Bro Corson can always be
depended upon to do that when
any of the interests of the northern
portion of Teton county are in
volved. We are IN position to
know that Mr.. Yule has offered to
pay the government reasonable
stumpage for timber cut here and
at st. Mary, although at the latter
place he purchased the standing
tim Der from the owners of tht
mining claim upon which the sale
timber was cut. 1t is doubtful i
the government has legal right
to receive pay for this timber, bu
whether it has, or has not. an offe
to pay a reasonable sum has beel
made in good faith, that all litiga
tion may cease and:the mill on tn
upper Dupuyer be able to resum
operations at once.
We are at loss to understSn
why Corson, and the people of th
south end of the county generally
are always anxious to misrepreser

What lamentable condition of
affairs it is, when the following,
from the pen of w. E Curtis, the
we'll known newspaper writer, can
be truthfully said about the great
state of Moot tara:
"It is worth while to be a
member of the Montana legislature
this year, because two of the
richest men ir the country are
competing for the senatorship of
that state, and each of them is
Determined TO beat the other if it
takes his whole pile. W. A. Clark
will be the regular candidate. He
has burhlng ambition to be a
United States senator for years,
and is willing to sperd his whole
income, which is enormous, to
crafty himself. Marcus Daily will
put out just as mach money to
defeat Clark as the latter will
spend to get elected, and the
merchants OF Helena, as well as
the members Of the legislature are
preparing for profitable season. "
Shame or the political party
whose leaders are men of the DAILY
and Clark stripe, as shown in the
above article ! Nothing is too
low for man-iike that to do to
accomplish their object, and the
democratic party in this state is
responsible for these men. We
look for the most corrupt session
of the legislature in Helena this
winter that has ever been held ia
the nation. The question naturally
arises in the minds of thinking
men, "When will the people of
Montana arise in their might and
by their votes decree that there
are qualifications other than
Daly's gold or Clark's gold, or
Daly's friendship or Clark's fliend>
ship, that are required in the man
who is to represent US in the US.

of this section, Teton county's

picion. In the senate we have
Honest sam Mitchell. In the
house we have equally honest
George W. Magee, ard while the
boodlers are buying members back

charges of corruption will ever be
made against either of these men.

In view of the fact that it is
impossible for the republicans to
elect United States senator in
Moataua Jnls year, we will again
give voice to our wish that the
democracy select the Hon. W. j.
Conrad, of Great Falls, to that
responsible and honorable position.
He more fully represents the
people of the entire state, and
their varied interests, than any
other democrat we know. His
election, too, would forever re-
move the DAILY CLARK fight, with
ell of its corruptness, from state
politics.

The Conrad Ditch.

One of the largest canals in
Montana is owned by w. G. Conrad,
of Great Fails. This ditch carries
the waters OF. two small rivers, the
FIRST seventeen miles to the first
and the second the two fourteen
miles farther to a vast sloping
beuchland between the Teton and
Marias rivers. but sloplng toward
the latter. The total length of
this ditch will be about 35 miles,
its capacity will be rs, 600 miners
inches of water, and it is estimated
will cover $4,000 acres of as fine
lana as lies spread out beneath
the rays of the sun This is rich
a.luvial soil and when watered will
produce miles and miles of blue
joint hay waist high without other
cultivation. Mr.. Conrad owns
something like 25, 900 acres of land
at this point where his large sheep
and cattle plant is located. The
tract of land is traversed by the
Great Falls and Canada railroad
and the station, Pondela, is in The
midst OF it. making the question
of marketing its products easy.
OF late the state arid land COM
mission is moving in the matter of
hand ling this proposition. 1t has
offered Mr.. Conrad price for an
interest in his ditch with a view to
the securing of 10000 acres of
land through it under the Carey
act. We are told that land at
this point is valusd at $25 per
acre, and will grow a crop suffi-
cient to make it a profitable in
vestment at that price. Mr..
Conrad is a great developer and
We hope he may make a mint Of
money out of this magnificent
enterprise. Rocky Noun taiu Hus

PUERTO RICO EVACUATION.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Sept. 1s.-
At meeting today, the Spanish eva
cuation commissioners agreed to begin
the formal withdrawal of lines within
two days. They will evacuate Lares
San Sebastian, Aguadilla, in the north
west Of the island, withdrawing to-
wards the capital.
Under the armistice, they could not
withdraw their outposts without per-
mission. Detachments of the Eleventh
Infantry will occupy this territory, and
raise the American flag. The abandon
ment of other outposts will follow.
The Spanish commissioners under
stand perfectly that the evacuation of
the islands must be, in accordance with
the terms of the protocol, as soon as
transports can be secured. Transports
from the fever infected ports of Cuba
cannot, they say, be used TO convey the
un-infected troops from Puerto Rico.
The troops from Cuba and Puerto Rico
are to be landed in different ports of
Spain. The Spanish authorities here
cannot control the transports in this
respect. They must await the pleasure
of Madrid. Our commission realize
the force of this argument, and are
willing to make reasonable concss-
siOna.
