MCDONALD DISMISSED.
Jonathan Manus Fails to Identify the
Defendant.


w. Mcdonald, the alleged burglar,
was dismissed yesterday before his ex-
animation was had. Mcdonald is the
fellow who was arrested in the Mon
tana hotel. having in his possession a
number of drills and other suspicious
Instruments. He was also charged by
Jonathan c. Manus with having at
tempted to burglarize his room at the
DeImonico lodging house on lower
Main street. At the time of McDon-
AIDS arrest Manus stated positively a
number of times that Mcdonald was
the man whom he had seen in his
room and with whom he had fought at
the time the alleged robbery took
place.
Yesterday morning, however, just be
fore the trial was to a V taken place
Manus was not so sure about Melon
AIDS identity. In fact. he stated that
Mcdonald was not the nan at all. The
complaint charging Mcdonald with
burglary was therefore dismissed by
County Attorney Trippet. 1t is said
that the defense was prepared to put
a number of witnesses on the stand
who would prove or attempt to prove
an alibi in McDonald's favor had the
prosecution proceeded with the case.
Later in the day another complaint
was filed against Mcdonald, charging
him with having in his possession bur
glars tools. The complaint was dis.
missed, however. as the state came tC
the conclusion that no conviction could
be secured. Mcdonald was released
from custody.

In the Pretending Line.

- THOUGH TO all outward APP
n p~earances Hawaii has become
part and parcel Of the United
States. Queen Lii and her royal court
do not recognize the annexation. Queen
Lii is still queen in her mind and her
heirs are to be de jure ~potentates as

Queen Lii was in Honolulu on the day

hear every sound. and ! am told that she

her that the flag was setting To rise no

the sound Of the blatant horn told her
that the stars and Stripes noated over

her prison.
The queen denied herself to all v%isitors.

An Encouraging Growth.

1T is gratifying to learn from the es-
teemed Helena Herald that the
ninth edition of the Helena City
Directory, just out, contains 6,723
names. Applying the lowest multiple
i'm such cases, two and "A half, repre-
senting women and children whose
names are not customarily included In
directories, gives Helena a population
of 16,S30-a gain over last year of
thirty-two. This is an encouraging
showing in the face of the Alaskan
stampede, which drew away a large
number of our people"
1t is indeed a pleasure to record such
encouraging growth and progress as
| Helena made during the past year; a
net gain in population Of thirty-two-
and that, too, "in the face Of the
Alaskan stampede, which drew away n
large number of our people!" We do
not think we are guilty of exaggera-
ton when we venture the opinion that
had il not been for the Klondike rush,
instead of thirty-two, Helena's popula-
ton would have shown an increase of
| forty-two. With the subsistence of the
Klondike craze and the return of the
Hon. Sam Word, no one need be aston
ished If the Helena City Directory for
1899 is able to figure out an increase as
| remarkable as ffty-two.
As the third city in the state, Helena
appears to be holding her own quite
comfortably. The Anaconda city direc-
tory contains 7,267 names, which, APP
plying the esteemed Herald's system Of
multiplication. represent a population
of 1866. If A%naconda's population will
be so obliging as to remain stationary,
1t will take Helena's population, at it's
present encouraging rate of increase,
only twenty-six years, one month and
Ave Prd a fraction days to overtake IT.

~HE mercurial Frenchmen have
been tumbling over themselves
the last few weeks in their haste
to get on the winning side. According
to the Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald. not only is the French
press strongly I'm favor Of America, it
is even beginning to ask what made
France ever to pretend to think so
much of Spain. Di%xneuvieme Steele
has an article giving a curious account
of the Indifference of the Spanish peo-
pie about the war. Never did a peo-
pie" il says, lose its colonial posses
sions more gayly." Henri Bauer, in
the Echo de Paris. devotes more than a
column to exultation over the triumph
of America. Some journals, he says,
insulted and illuminated the Amer
leans while exalting the queen. Yet
there were not lacking sturdy pens
upon the French press to sustain the
cause of the United States, and Bauer's
was one OF them. He and others stood
by the justice of Americas cause and
the United States might be successful
and Cuba might be freed from Spain.
Bauer says: THE prowess and bold
strokes of the American admirals. their
crushing victories, appealed joyousIy tc
