1t Ought to BE Changed.

n VOW that the action of two trans
M continental railways has made
this city a terminus for both of
them. the opportunity presents itself for
revision in postal methods which could
easily be brought about by the depart
ment at Washington and which would
result in a distinct gain for Anaeondas
business men, in their relations to all of
Northern Montana. Under a plan that
hitherto has been in force the mails
leaving this city for all points in the
northern part of the state have been
carried to Butte over the Montana
Union and there transferred to the
Great Northern road The Great North
ern Is the only road in Montana that
trayerses that section of the state. 1t
is the postal route 10 Great Falls, west
ward to the Flathead cities and east
ward To the states boundary.
Under the arrangement naugurated
last week. the through Great Northern
trains make this city, instead of Butte,
their terminus. A natural sequence
would be the adjustment of the postal
service TO this new arrangement So that
the delivery of Anaconda mail for
Northern Montana points may be made
in this city. instead OF at Butte. 4
change in the running time for either
road might be effected at any moment
In way that would result in hours Of
needless delay for the Anaconda mails.
Even under present arrangements, mail
from the northern part Of the state IS
needlessly delayed in Butte. the Great
Northern's run over the Butte. Ana
conda and Pacific line being continuous
from Butte 70 this city. while the Ana
conda mail is carted in Butte To the
station Of another railroad company
and then forwarded. This Is a case
where a distinct Improvement might be
made with very little trouble to any
body.

How II WaS Made,

Madrid. March THE details of Spain's
request that the United States recall
General F'itzhugh Lee from his post as
consul general of the United States at
Havana are as follows: The United States
minister. General Stewart l.. Woodford,
had a conference at the Spanish ministry
on Thursday last with Senior Gullon, the
minister for foreign affairs. and an Off
cial for the ministry of foreign affairs,
who acted as interpreter. Senior Gullon
expressed the desire of the Spanish gov
eminent that General Lee be recalled as
proof of the good will of the United
States" General Woodford cabled imme-
diately to Washington on the subject and
the reply of the United States govern
ment was communicated to Senior Gullon
on Saturday.
Some of the Spanish provincial papers
referred to the matter yesterday. but the
newspapers of Madrid have not made any
reference to it.

The Purchase Plan.

4 T looks as If the recent talk of a
/ | Cuban purchase Were more seriously
/ intended in administration circles.
than the public at first supposed. Sew
/ eral newspapers that are known to be
! pretty familiar with the administra-
tons plans have given noticeable
attention to that matter. These news
papers have had much to say about
SPANS poverty; about the ability OF
the bankers in this country to swing the
bonds Which the purchase would repre-
sents about the" proofs of this country
sincerity" Which would be shown were
the United States TO guarantee the
bonds: about this short way of settling
the whole Cuban question" Manifestly
these newspapers have purposely given
the purchase project prominence-they
have been seeking TO take the pulse and
temperature of the public.
A newspaper that warmly supports
the administration is the Philadelphia
Press. That organ gets at the purchase
question through its New York CORE
spondent who approaches the matter by
saying: About week or ten days
ago there came an intimation from
Washington that it was the impression
in administration circles that the
method by which the United States
might peacefully intervene or tender its
good offices SO that the Cuban revolu-
tion would he ended without dishonor
to Spain and with success to the Cuban
cause, was a proposition involving a
money payment for the independence of
Cuba. The intimation came from
sources which justified some attention
being given to it,
Continuing. the talk in the Press is to
the effect many sides of the purchase
question are considered. pro and con.
in New York. that the plan has Its
good sides and that there has been no
difference of opinion expressed here"
respecting the ability TO place the bonds.
A column Of this style of small talk
brings the New York correspondent to
venture in a closing sentence the
remark that 1.-The impression is general
here in certain wel-informed circles
that as soon as the autonomy expert
ment Is tested and Its failure estab-
lished the government win have a
project involving monetary considera-
tion which it. Will lay before the
Spanish government
1t is safe to say that. in thus throw
ing out casual talk about the purchase
plan, the Philadelphia organ Is speaking
more by the card than it processes 10
be. The whole article is pretty clear
intimation that Mr.. Hanna. who is an
adept in the purchase line has that
method in view for Cuba; so that, with
such rich piekings in sight it is mot
strange that Wall street frowns at war.

Reed Couldn't Stop 1t.

asst week the statement was
made in dozens of newspapers
that Speaker Reed stood in the
way of house action on the senate
resolution providing for two additional
regiments of artillery. There seems To
have been warrant for this talk: no.
toriously. Speaker Reed has been stub
bornly opposed to all measures having
in view the strengthening of the gov
ernment's military arm.
Some Of the testimony respecting the
attitude of the speaker came from
republican house members, Mr.. Hull,
the chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs. He said last week that he
had done everything in his power to
bring the artillery resolution up for
consideration. that he has appealed to
Reed. has pleaded with the committee
on rules, and that he has made per-
sonal canvass of members, but the only
concession he has been able To get was
the permission of the speaker to ask
for unanimous consent for the con-
sideration of the measure. That was

London March 7.-Replying in the
house of commons to-day to Sir Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett conservative, Mr..
Curzon, the parliamentary secretary for
the foreign office, said the government
could not confirm the message to the
London Times from Pekin, published
to-day, saying that Russia has de-
manded that China surrender to her all
sovereign rights over Port Arthur and
Ta-Lien-Wan for the same period and
on the same conditions as in the case
of Germany at Kiao Chau bay besides
demanding important railroad conces-
sions, giving five days within which to
receive a reply and threatening to move
troops into Manchuria in the event of
nom compliance with her demands Mr.
1yerson also said the government had
no confirmation of the report that Rus
STA had occupied Deer Island, corea
nor could the government confirm the
reports setting forth that Russia was
strengthening the forts at Port Arthur.

The Armstrong; Would Sell to spain if

the Cash Was Forthcoming.
New York March IA copyrighted
cablegram from London to the Even
ing Post says: Special inquiries in
official and financial circles to-day
show that of the many grave difficult
ties pending in China, Japan, West
Africa, the Nile and elsewhere. the
American Spanish relations At the
American and Spanish embassies the
utmost reticenee. Of course, is shown.
They pretend to know nothing and it is
noteworthy, in view of reports that
the Armstrong; have sold cruisers to
Spain, that the Armstrong; board has
given express instructions that no
questions are to be answered regarding
their dealings with British or foreign
governments.
Varying conclusions are drawn from
this refusal to confirm the denial of
this Spanish purchase from the Arm
strongs. What cannot be denied is
that the Armstrong; have had rela-
lions with Spain since 1886, have built
several cruisers to SPANS order and
now have vessels in stock that could
be sold If money was forthcoming.
Is French money helping Spain? Two
of the first financial houses were asked
this question this afternoon. Their re-
plies may be grouped thus:
Nothing of the kind has been def
nitely arranged, and obviously, seeing
the large French financial interests in
Spain, French financers will be most
anxious to keep Spain from war, but it
is equally certain that If Spain did de-
eide that war. however desperate. was
the only escape from the growing finan-
cialy trouble a home, then Paris and
not London would be the quarter from
whence money would be sought and
beyond doubt obtained. As yet, how
ever. nothing has been definitely set
tied"
The fact probably is that Spain is
anxious to buy ships and that the Arm
strongs are ready to sell if they can see
the money. The French financiers are
not eager to advance the necessary
money so long as by holding back they
can assist the cause of peace. The
Armstrong; have the reputation among
the naval circles here of producing the
best armed and protected cruisers in
the world
