New York Feb Is.-The tone of the
speculation was doubtful and hesitating
in wall street to-day and a large pre-
rcnderance Of the days dealings was in
Sugar and the grangers. Nearly 60 per
cent. of the total transactions were in
these stocks Coupled with the fact that
the total sales of all stocks showed
marked decrease in the recent average the
large proportion absorbed hS these spe-
cialties formed a signifce~t commentary
upon the condition inta which the mar
ket has fallen.
After the ope,s;rg weakness. due to
London and some other exchanges, had
been overcome, it looked as though the
strength radiating from the grangers had
prevailed in the market, but the increas-
ing weakness in Sugar, coupled with q
fall in the prices of local New YORK spe-
cialties in the final hour was a decisive
factor i'll driving prices below last night
level.
The radical utterances made in the
course of the debate participated in in

engendered distrust in the minds of spec

A THOROUGH SUCCESS.
An Excellent Concert Given by the Black
Eagle Band.

"A
Eagle Band.
Great Falls Feb 1S.-The concert of
the Black Eagle band given yesterday
evening in the opera house was thor
ouCh success, the gallery and the pit
being crowded with the best people of
the city. AS for the numbers executed
they more than sustained the previous
record of the organization. The con-
cert was opened by a short announce
ment made by George III. Stanton.
He said, in brief, that the band pur-
posed giving a series of entertainments
of which the concert was the first, and
the money which 1t would derive from
this source was to defray the expenses
of the band when it made a trip to In
dianapols next August. On the 18th
day of that month there was to be an
assembly or convention in that city of
all the knights of Pythias in the world,
and the number which would gather
there had been estimated at 300, 900.
Three bands would be in attendance,
and the Black Eagle was to be one OF
the three. There would be procession
of the Knights, and it had been prom
Used that the band from Great Falls
should lead the procession. When the
grand lodge of Montana met at Helena
last summer there had been present
Major General Carnahan, the COM
handing officer of the Uniform rank.
He had listened TO the Danu ana nau
been delighted with it. He urged its
members who are all members of the
order to be sure and attend the ma
tional convention, and promised them
that il they should do so they should
lead the procession as above stated,
Mr.. Stanton then pointed out the value
of such an advertisement not only to
the city but to the entire state. 1t
would tell everyone in Indianapolis that
day that the citizens of Montana were
not all savages and it would lead to
inquiry about the state and it's re-
sources There would also be a com
petitive drill, and in it the Black Eagle
band was almost sure of obtaining the
first prize.
The solos and the numbers played by
the whole band We're vigorously APP
plauded and in almost every one there
was an encore. AT the conclusion of
the concert the audience and the band
adjourned to El6s hall, where dancing
was had until late this morning.
Prior to the concert the Blue Uniform
Rank held meeting at which the fol-
lowing officers We're installed by Sam
French, installing officer: c. l.. Her
zog. captain; j. 4. Mitchell, lieutenant;
Fred Stephens, herald: Albert Camp

AND THE END IS NOT YET
Fight Over the Gilt Edge Contin-
ues Unabated.
MANY ADVERSE CLAIMS
A Bewildering Number of Motions Filed.
Land officers Have Rejected the
Application of the Ammon-
Stivers Company.

Great Falls, Feb. 1S.-The fight over
the title to the Gilt Edge mining prop
erty continues undated. The papers
filed in the land Office last week in the
litigation over the application for pat
ents to the Peerless and Plattsburg
mining claims. extended notice of which
applications was made last week, are
very voluminous, and even cursory
inspection of the adverse claims and
motions, filed is bewildering.
In addition to the adverse claims of
Schmitz and Netting and W. Del Ben
ediet to the application for patent to
the Peerless lode. reported last week,
the following adverse claims have been
since filed: Frank Moshner, claiming
the Outlook: j. w. and j. G. Ackerly
claiming the Flatiron; William Aitehi
son, claiming the Lucky; Charles
Young, claiming the Chicadee fraction:
II. G. McEvony, claiming the Red Bird
No. 2, all of these claims partially COW
ering the Peerless ground, No new adj
verse claims have been filed in the
Plattsburg matter, but Saturday the
the Ammon-Stivers Mining company,
their attorneys, Metz and Lonabaugh,
to complete their entry to the Gilt Edge
lode, and set a hearing for March 2S,
from which action Metz and Lonabaugh
have appealed to the commissioner.
The fight is a good thing for the attor-
neys, but the end seems a great dis
lance off.
