ANNEXATION.

The position of the annexation cause
is a great deal stronger after the re-
cess than it was before. The phalanX
of Republican Senator'S seems to be
about several of the Democratic SEMI
tors, but there are some Senators who
are pledged to neither side in the
cause, and who occupy very much the
position that the Irish party used to
hold in the British House of Commons,
to whichever side they lean will go vic
tory. The days later news by the Pc
ru seems to promise still better for an
neXation, but no one need look for
much decisive action before the 10th
of this month. From private sources
of information from the Senate house
that seems to be the day when the
great struggle will come, oddly
enough, it is the day that our own Leg
islature will meet.
The opinion, that the move made TO
tack annexation and Cuba upon the
appropriation bill is unwise policy, is
combatted by many who are personal
ly conversant with political workings
in Washington itself. 1t is, by these
men, said to be a strong move and one
that has changed so much since the
Congress closed for the recess, that
what seemed inadvisable then, may be
decidedly advisable now. But of this
we may be sure, we have keen and ex-
perienoed men fighting for our side,
men who cannot afford to make mis-
take, and we may feel satisfied that
our cause is being managed with all
the skill that can be brought to bear

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The situation in the East appears to
be more peaceful than it has been for
the last few mails. The only factor
which seems doubtful now is Japan.
With population which over-esti-
mates its power, with large army
and a commanding navy, Japan is dan
gerous to the peace of the Orient.
However, Japan has shrewd states
men, who know her power far better
than her people do, and who act as
curb upon the popular will.
The plans of Russia seem to have
been countered by Lord Salisbury
determination to have Talien-Wan de-
clared a treaty port, because unless
this port is in the hands of the power
holding Port Arthur, the military val
ne of the latter is much lessened. The
action of the British cabinet is evil

both parties i'm the State. OF course
there might occur-a combination of
circumstances which would bring
about war, but it is to the interest of

REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY.

President Dole is, and always has
been, believer in republican simpli-
city. At his own special desire he will
be received in Washington with no
flourish of trumpets and executive
display. The effect will be good just
as the simple evening dress of the
American representative at the courts
Of Europe, makes him distinguished
amid the brilliant uniforms and gilt
ttering orders among which he min
giles.
People will understand that Sanford
b. Dole became President of this Re
public. not from any intrigue of per-
sonal ambition, not from a desire to
pose as leader of men, not to be fiat
tered and fawned upon, as the Presi-
dents of South American Republics de-
light to be. but simply for the benefit
of the country of his birth, at the de-
sire of the men who wer1 working for
the success of just cause and for
good government.
In pursuance of this desire Presi-
dent Dole has gone to Washington to
see President Mckinley and to meet
the members of the Senate. He has
not gone to receive salutes and to be
honored by military display, but he
has gone to try and benefit the coun
try. An attitude of this kind, will b,
fully appreciated, and President Dole
has struck "A keynote by his action.
Those who are opposed to anneNa
ton have been working hard agains
it and have sent special representa-
tives to bolster up their cause. 1t il
good thing that the Senators shoult
see what kind of a man the annexa
tionists have chosen as the head o
their cause, his simple manners anc
earnest devotion to the cause he ha
espoused, will have greater weigh
than many think.

referred to the session, which will pro-
badly call another meeting of the on-
gregation later. to settle the situation.
For some reason not now to the pub
lie the names Of John Reid, jr., n
others, who ave been considered for
the position, were not presented. Reid
was the first pastor of the church. but
left here several years ago as the re-
suit of bad feeling in the church. He
has still a number of warm friends
among the congregation, and also has
some warm enemies, and 1t nay be that
his friends will insist on his appoint
ment TO the pulpit ultimately.
At the close of the ballot DIR. Gwynne,
the former pastor, who has been ap
pointed synodical missionary for Mon
tana, addressed the meeting in a gen.
eral way. thanking them for the feel
ing expressed, and stating that al
though he had gone to labor in a
broader field he hould always have a
tender feeling for his former parish,
and he desired to see 1t prosper. He
had worked hard here for two years
and would always carry with him
many pleasant memories of the time
thus spent. He then dismissed the con-
.gregation. The session will probably
wait until the arrival in the city of
Rev. John Reid, jr., before taking ac-
ton or calling another meeting of the
congregation.

almost vertical, and on this trip the
stage n its occupants came near go-
ing over this precipice. As the stage
came along this road the way was
blocked with a freight outfit that was
stalled by a balky horse. The stage
drive gave his lines to Bishop Gilbert
and got down with his whip TO help
persuade the balky horse TO move. The
bishop held the lines and the riv
stepped out beside the balky animal
and swung his whip. As he ave 1t a
preliminary whiri the lash struck one
OF the stage horses and at once there
was a lively time behind. The stage
team of four lively animals began TO
rear and plunge. Mr.. Mcguire at One
seized the baby from Mrs. Welch's
arms and jumped with IL, telling the
mother to follow. She did likewise and
the three were safe on the upper side
OF the road. Meanwhile, the bishop
was having his hands fun with the -four
frightened horses. They could not get
past the freight wagons, and they,
therefore. tried to go over the bank.
Bishop Gilbert sat like a veteran driver
and held the horses like old Jehu him
self. The wagon was finally stopped
with the wheels on the very edge of the
road. Another inch and the vehicle
would have gone over, but the bishop
did not let the team make that inch.
He held them in line by skillful work
and had them subdued by the time the
drive came back.

The Catholic kniphIS.

Great Falls, Sept. Most of the Wis
iting members of the Catholic Knights
of America took the morning train for
home. As the order is largely n of
Insurance., the meeting was of a formal
character and consisted principally in
the election Of officers for the ensuing
year. They are as follows: State vice
president, Bernard Joyce; state secre-
tary. b. Ryan of Butte; state treas
urer. A. Reichle of Butte; delegate to
the national society, William steue of
Helena.
The order is comparatively a new n
in his state. and therefore has not-a
large membership. there being at the
present time three lodges in the state,
with a total membership of $50, but the
order is increasing quite rapidly, n
in point of numbers is likely to rank
soon with other beneficiary societies.
The visiting members had a very en-
joyable time, the local embers taxi
ing them to various points of interest
about town and entertaining them in
various ways. The next meeting of the
order will be in Butte in May.

A. Blake Brings the Latest News From

Great Falls. Sept. 1.-Al Blake. who
formerly worked at Belt. arrived in
the city this morning direct from the
Klondike. In a conversation with him
this afternoon, he appeared neither
enthusiastic over the country nor dis
appointed. He says that he has two
or three claims there, but has not done
enough work on them yet to ascertain
certainly whether they are worth any
thing or not. He made a mistake. he

made.

received this morning by the city clerk

cago, First National bank, Portage,

inquiries received up to date.
From the manner in which inquiries
from bond-buying houses are pouring
in, il is safe to predict that the bonds
will call out a large number of bids.
and the price at which they will be sold
will be correspondingly high. Unless
there is some technicality which has
been overlooked, the bonds will sell the
best of any ssh yet put on the mar
ket from this locality, as they repre-
sent an indebtedness which viii be a
source of revenue to the city from the
start. The city clerk is preparing a
synopsis of all proceedings in onnec
tion with the deal, and this, when COM
pleted, will be printed and issued,
copies being sent to prospective bid
ders. 1t is of interest to note that
among to-day's inquiries is n from

BISHOP GILBERT.
His Experience With a Stage Tearn In
Early Days.
Centuries,

f3tflN pays.
Missoula, Sept. bishop Gilbert Of
Minnesota. who made a short visit 10
Mlssoula yesterday, has many staunch
friends n admirers In this town,
which was a portion Of his parish i'm
the early days when he was stationed
at Deer Lodge and had all Western
Montana in his charge. Some Of these
men and women had an opportunity
TO meet the bishop n shake his hand
yesterday. and there was not one OF
them who did not have some interesting
reminiscence to recall that was connect
ed with the bishops early life in Mon
ana The bishop remembered nearly
all OF them. As soon as he saw John
Mcguire he recognized him and almost
the first question hat he asked the
veteran theatrical man was one that
at once recalled an incident that oc-
CURED years ago when the two We're
fellow travellers on the old stage that
ran between Deer Lodge and Missoula.
on that trip the bishop sat with the
driver and Mr.. Mcguire was on one
Of the seats behind. Mrs. Daniel WEIGH
Of Mlssoula was another passenger and
she had a baby with her. At n place
the road was dug out Of the mountain
