receive theirs tomorrow. In levying the
assessments the receiver acts under an or

DEMOCRATS OUTWlTTED.
Row They Threaten to Break Their
Pairs with Republicans.

FRANKFORT. KY, Feb PA shrewd
trick of the Republicans to break quorum
in the House on the election bin tomorrow
by getting pairs with unsuspecting Demo-
Gratis was discovered by the Democratic
steering committee late tonight. Warnings
were sent out to Democratic members TO
revoke all pairs, the object of the Repub-
licans in securing them was to break
quorum when the election bill comes UP.
Owing to the lateness of the hour and tnsr
determination of Republicans to get out of
town on early morning trains, it is possible
that some pairs may not be revoked, bait
the Democrats say they will denounce this
scheme in the House and demand that pairs
be broken. The bill will be put on its
passage Tomorrow and but two days re-
main for its safe delivery to Governor
Bradley in time to pass it again over his
expected veto.

Americans as to the relative
merits of the ervices Of Sampson and

It's a different case with Dewey; with
one accord the popular demand is that
he be made admiral. He is the con-
spicuously bright star of the war-he's
the very best the war produced. He
ranks first. and the rest of them, in
comparison, are bad seconds. This coun-
try has been exceedingly choice with
the title of admiral. but the popular
sentiment is that Dewey has earned the
honor which Farragut and Porter wore.
He was intrepid in service and admir-
ably modest in announcing his achieve
ments. He sent no messages with
presents to the American people; he
did not wire dispatches about What" my
fleet" had done; he held out alone a
perilously long time, and he stirred up
no bad blood about later achievements
when Merritt was on the ground.

gan Was Sustained by the Court.
John verken Wants His
Name Changed.

There was a regular session If the
district cour yesterday morning. The
first case was that of the state VS..
James Nelson. charged with grand lar
ceny. In June, 1887. the prisoner stole
a horse valued at $50 from Frederick
Moreau of Deer Lodge. For a long
time no trace of the horse or thief
was discovered. although the officers
were assiduous in their efforts to arrest
the man and recover the horse. Several
false clues were run to ground, and ii
looked as IL Nelson had left the u
try and covered up his trail. Thus 1t
went along until Aug. IL of this year.
when Constable Conley got a tip that
Nelson was with some Indians en-
camped at Mill creek. He secured a
warrant and, going to the camp. found
his man and took him into custdy. He
was given a preliminary hearing, at
which he was bound over to the dis
trict court for trial.
When brought before the court yes
terday he was asked by Judge Brantiy
If he desired counsel. He replied that
he did not. and entered a plea of
guilty to the charge against him. He
will be sentenced to-day.
In the case Of w. w. Hyslop VS..

defendant, alleging various deficiencies
in the complaint, in that it did not pre-
sent a state of facts sufficient for a
cause of action, was sustained by the
court. c. e. Oles appeared for the
complainant and O'Leary e. Maiden for
the defendant. The suit was brought
by w. w. Hyslop for the purpose of
correcting the number of a lot upon
which buildings had been erected upon
the installment plan for he defendant,
and for the costs of the action.
In the matter of the application or
John Nerken for a change of name the
hearing was continued until Aug. % at
10 a. m. There is a somewhat interest
ing story connected with this case. 1t
appears hat Alderman Pozega, APP
pointed to succeed Alderman Schutty,
came to this country from Austria
many years ago. When he secured
work it so happened that there were
several men of the name of Pozega
employed at the same place, n 10
avoid confusion the man in charge
gave him the name of John Verken.
At that time, not being fully acquainted
with the customs of the country, he ac-
quiesced in the change of name, and
soon il became firmly fastened to him.
In fact, when he tool out his citizen
ship papers. they were issued in the
assumed name. Affairs went along all
right for some time. but as Pozega
prospered and became interested in
many and divers business matters the
fact that he wore two names caused
confusion and trouble, and conse
ouently he entered IN application in
the district court to permit him to shed
one of his names. the one which he had

A Troublesome Lot.

1T may he. as many of the newspa-
pers predict it will be. hat we shall
have any amount of trouble in try
ing to straighten out the Cubans. We

opinion at this moment seems to be
that. II they show a disposition to make
trouble. our dealings with them should
be summary.
General Joe Wheeler has lately talk
ed with the president in regard TO these
Cubans If he has been correctly quot
ed. his testimony is that the work of
gaining their confidence" is likely to
be a tedious process and that IT may
become necessary for us TO occupy the
island for several years. II becomes a
question whether the government of the
United States has an obligation 10 win
the confidence of these Cubans: IL may
be urged. though, that we must win IT

insure peace to the island. in harmony
with the promise congress gave when
the war started. But we cannot waste
too much time in this effort TO win Gu

work promptly, we must compel peace.
Strangest Of all is the recent remark

these is General Estrada Palma. He

II there is any logic or any sense in

Ii Looks WooIly.

II T the hour, last night, when the
4 newspaper offices were watch
ing for Dayton talk bearing
on the state convention Of Ohio demo-
Gratis, announced for tomorrow, along
came a sensational dispatch with the
story hat John II. Mclean has been
won over to the administration side
and that he will be the successor Of
Alger as secretary Of war in the Nc
Kinley cabinet.
The silver forces will want plenty Of
news in the way Of confirmation be-
fore they believe any part Of this story.
Mclean has been a conspicuously
active worker in the silver cause; his
newspaper. the Cincinnati Enquirer,
has been a faithful champion Of free
coinage. As a democrat. Mr.. Mclean
has cherished certain pretty high per
sonal ambitions that have not been
gratihed, but hat fact warrants no

and coarse gold is very often picked
UP from bedrock before IL reaches the
slufce boxes.
p. II. Fowler & Co. are among the
noteworthy mine operators on this
stream. They employ a large force OF
men and have a derrick and machinery
for hauling the large rocks. Up in
Alaska a creek of this character would
be staked from its mouth TO the head
and mountain tops on each side, but
strange as IL may seem, there Is plenty
of vacant ground left in this section and
perhaps millions could be unearthed by
expanding a few dollars, combined with
a small amount of energy. This part of
the country. while perhaps not as large
as Forty-mile creek or the Klondike, is
large enough for all who care to pros
pect, and in richness will no doubt
stand a fair comparison, to say nothing
about being situated in a white mans
sountry, and can be worked nearly all
year around.

mines on Antelope last Sunday. Mr..

Saturday and was the guest of Frank

pleased with the progress that had been
made and the work done was alto
gether satisfactory. Mr.. King returned
to Butte last Monday.
