MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, Nov. 8.-Aiter canvass
without state issues and confined almost
entirely to four congressional districts
and few local districts, the republic
cans have again carried Massachusetts,
and elected Roger Wolcott governor
for the fourth time, as we'll as the
entire state ticket, by safe majority.
Governor Wolcott's plurality over A:
B. Bruce, his democratic opponent, will
be about 10000 or $1,000 less than his
lead last year. The vote this year was
much heavier than in 1897. and Mr..
Bruce made substantial gains over
George Fred Williams, the democratic
candidate last year.

ILLINOIS,.

Chicago, Nov. 8.-Five, and probably
six. congressman have been gained in
Illinois by the democrats, and the next
congressional delegation from this
state is likely to be evenly divided
eleven democrats and eleven republl-
cans It is possible for the republicans
to have twelve of the twenty-five con-
grcssmen, as all the returns are not
yet in. but the indications are for an
even split on the delegation.
The entire republican state ticket is
elected by about 10000 plurality. In
Cook county the vote has been very
close, the republicans carrying the
county, and the democrats the city OF
Chicago. The democratic plurality, in
the city is about 5000 and the republi-
can plurality about the same in the
county.
Cook county democrats claim the
state by over 4, 900 democratic plurality,
and say eleven counties in the state
show democratic gain of 1850, and
they claim to have elected twelve con-
grcssmcn and probably fourteen.

The police are weaving a strong case.
both direct and circumstantial, about
the three suspects. John Mason, Tom
Lacey and Tom Lyons. who are in Gus
tody for the Reception and Fountain
r~oadhouse hold-ups Of July 10. Nearly
all those who were victims Of the high
waymen's raid have seen the suspects
and all have pronounced them the
guilty parties without the slightest hes
itation. Besides this, there are a num-
Der Of circumstsntisl facts that have
come TO light that Will weigh heavily
against the prisoners.
Yesterday a woman giving the name
OF Mrs. Johnson and a man whose
name the police refuse TO disclose were
shown the prisoners. They are the
couple whom the robbers held up in the
parlor Of the Reception. II will be re-

and refused to believe the highwaymen

had the audacity to lift the mask of
one of the robbers. She identified the
suspect Lyons as that man, and says
she knows him by his peculiar red COM
plexion and a scar under one we, which
she aid she noticed on the face of the
scoundrel whose anger she had the
temerity TO brave. She identified Ma
son by his crooked finger as others nave

his general appearance. The woman's
name is not johnson. Her companion
also identified the three suspects. This
makes five people who were at one or
the other of the ~roadhouses the morn

the suspects 10 the best Of their knowl-

When the man Lyons was pronounced

since his arrest when confronted by his

There Is much satisfaction here over the

tract in question had been taken up as

the land had reverted back to the gov

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.
Frnnk Wilson Reports Great Success at
the Randsburg Camp.

Frank X. Wilson, formerly a resident
Of Butte. arrived In the city yesterday
from California to visit his brother,
Hugh /. Wilson, manager OF the Butte
and McDermott hotels. Life In Califor-
mia mining camps has evidently agreed
with Mr.. Wilson, as he has improved
wonderfully in appearance since he le1t
Butte, and is now the picture of health.
Mr.. Wilson has been mining the past
two years in the new gold camp or
R~andsburg in Southern California, ana
comes direct from that country. He re-
ports the district in an exceedingly
healthful condition In a business way
and says R~andsburg is rapidly becoming
a fine camp. The town is growing rap
idly and now has a population of l.5OO.
The two great drawbacks to the camp
up to this year had been the want of a
railroad and lack of water. Both have
been supplied this year. A railroad has
reached the camp and two water lines
have been piped in and under h slim
illus these have given the enterprises or
the camp the town is going rapidly
ahead and several shipping mines have
been added to the development of the
district. AS yet, the original Rand
group is the largest proposition In the
camp. This group pays $40, 900 a month.
Numerous other properties are giving so
much promise that Mr.. Wilson is en-
thusiastic over the future of The district.
Mr.. Wilson. with his brother and the
Largey estate. owns a property which
he says shows most gratifying prospects
of making a mine. Just before leaving
MIR. Wilson says he shipped 10 tons of
ore to Pueblo which netted $4,000. As
the property is only a prospect as yet,
MIR. Wilson regards this as an excellent
showing. Like a good Butte man, Mr..
Wilson has named the mine The
Butte" II is a free milling gold propo-
sition.
Mr.. Wilson states that California Is
suffering greatly from drouth. There has
been no rain at all this year and in sec
tons that are not irrigated farming
crops will amount to absolutely moth
ing. The fruit crop will % suffer so
much. but II will not be IS good as
usual.
Mr.. Wilson happened to be in San
Francisco when the Montana soldiers
arrived there and was surprised to find
In the ranks so many old acquaintances.
He says the regiment was regarded as
one of the best hat came to Califor-
mia for the Manila expedition. He came
through San Francisco the day before
the regiment left. but did not see the
boys.
Mr.. Wilson Is accompanied by his
wife. They win visit In Butte n week
or 10 days and return TO California.

CONCERNED ABOUT HER DAUGHTER
Mrs. Barnes Complains That Thore Has
Been No Marriage Ceremony.

Been No Marriage Ceremony.
Mrs. ]. Fl. Barnes of Feeley's station,
with her husband and three children.
came to Butte yesterday TO do some
marketing, and while In the city she
got trace of her daughter, who she
supposed was living at Missoula. Mrs.
Barnes also thought she had made a
shocking discovery. and she called on
the county attorney last evening n
demanded the arrest OF a young man
named Henley. with whom. she said,
her daughter was living without haV-
ing observed the formality Of a mar
riage ceremony. The girl is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Barnes by a former hus-
band. and it appears that she left home
to enter the employ of some one at
Missoula, and since then has kept her
mother in the lark as to her move
ments. Mrs. Barnes was therefore
surprised and shocked when she found
her In Butte yesterday. The girl
claimed TO be married, but the mother
evidently did not believe II, and de-
manded the arrest of the man In the
case. The county attorney promised
to do some thinking about the matter.

as to knock out his abb. To one per-
son Lyons said he was at Days saloon
when the fire broke out at the Domes-
tic bakery in West Broadway shortly
after 3 O'Clock. To another he said he
vas at Sherman's restaurant when the
fire broke out at 1 o'clock. showing that
he is somewhat mixed in his dates. He
has also said that among the friends
with whom he spent the early part OF
the evening at the California
were a DIR. Blair. "Bill' Howard, Eddie
Martin and a fellow named Gardner.
These he looks TO TO prove his abb. but
II they all do as well az the man Gard
ner. their evidence will do him more
harm than good. Gardner called at the
police station yesterday to see Lyons.
but was informed he had removed to
the county Jail. Gardner did not know
what story Lyons had told, so he told
one of his own. which confiicted with
Lyons accounting for his whereabouts
at the time OF the robbery. Gardner
said he and Lyons slept together the
night Of the 9Th: that they went TO
bed early and that Lyons was not out
Of bed again till he got up TO go out
to play ball at the Short Lin park the
next day.
one important piece OF Information
has come to the police relative to Ly-
ons. IL is to the effect that he put In a
large part of his youth in the reform
school of Minnesota. A gentleman
from Minnesota who knew something or
the institution referred TO. and who,
reading of Lyons arrest, was curious TO
know IL 1t was the same Lyons he had
known, called to see the prisoner. He
said the suspect was the same Lyons
and that was was known In the MIME
sofa reform school as "Tighe Lyons"
and was regarded as a tough youth.
Less has come out about the suspects
Mason and Lacey, one reason for which
is that they have done less talking than
Lyons to give themselves away. They
are sullen and efuse to talk to the
officers. They are regarded as an astute
pair OF crooks and do not propose to
do or say anything hat will give the
authorities a line on them II they can
helm IT.

The President of the Junta Doesn't Credit

Washington, July 21.-President
Palma. president of the Cuban tunta,
is IN the city. He does not credit the
stories about the reported friction be-
tween Cuban soldiers and the Ameri-
cans. IT think" he said. "all Cubans
recognize the great work of the Ameri-
cans in helping the Cubans 10 their In
dependence. l cannot think any regular
soldiers of the Cuban army have re-
fused TO help build roads. dig trenches,
etc. I do not know what some few scat
tered soldiers may have done. but IL is
not reasonable to suppose that n or
the regulars under Garcia have de-
clined to perform such services. GEN.

he was ready TO do all that was neces-
sary 10 aid the Americans and his sol
diers have for years been doing such
work as you refer to. They have grown

of Cuban soldiers under arms In Cuoa
at the present timer" W "a asked.
81 think we have about $1,000 CUBAN
soldiers under arms In Cuba now SAID
General Palma. There are ooap
about 1000 or 5000 with Garcia and the
balance OF them are scattered al over
Cuba. IL must be remembered mat we
have possession OF a good many towns
and there must be a guard maintained
over them. All through the provinces
there are needs for the protection wnicn
n afforded by these soldiers MOST OF

Genera Palma does not credit the re,
ports regarding the death OF General
Garcia. He said he had a letter from
General Garcia a few days ago anu
believes he is still alive.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boulder, July 2l.-After two weeks of
hiding In the mountains, "Smithy,' whose
exploits were recently recounted In the
Standard, was captured last night. The
boys about Boulder had begun to joke the
officers of the law about not being able
TO get their man. and Tom Sherlock. dep
uty sheriff, started out yesterday morning
determined not to come back until he had
found the law-bresker or become con-
WINGED tina he had left this part of the
country. During the day he hunted
through the mountains between Bernice
and Lockhsrt's. arriving at the latter
place in the evening. He stood his rifle
up by the gate and went into the house,
where he was having a little talk with
Messrs. Lockhart and Clunie. when he
heard a call from the neighboring tim
Der which he recognized as the voice OF
the man he was looking for. lie got his
gun as he went out, succeeded In get
ting close enough TO get good aim, and
then commanded 'emithy' TO drop his
gun and throw up his hands. This re-
quest was promptly complied with, and
in jail in Boulder. II was a lucky kind
OF a capture. for II II had not happened
just that way. he would have probably
been able to evade the searching party
for some time, as he was perfectly ia
miliar with the country. which is quite

diffcult for the officers TO get any trace
of him. Further than that. he had
friends in Basin who kept him in supplies.
and also informed him OF the movements
of the officers. the kind Of clothes they
wore. etc. In fact. as Sherlock neared
L~ockhsrt's he met one of the sub boys
on horseback. who Mas suspected of CON-
municating with the fugitive, and when
asked when he had seen "Smithy" last,
he said he would be hung 20 a tree be-
fore he would tell. In Jail John r. Smith
tells his tale OF woe. of his ranch being
jumped. how his ca hin was entered and
his food poisoned by Hastings. how he
would have come in before ~ he had only
known he was wanted. and how when he
met Hastings In the road the gun went
off by accident: he also claims that he
could have avoided the officers for many
months. but he came down TO Lockharts
ranch because he wanted to talk with
Dan Mccain. who was with him at the
time of the shooting. This morning he
was arraigned and bound over TO tbs dis
