II persistence Will accomplish anything
The Western Passenger association Il
vet induce the Great Northern to With
draw its secnnd-ciass rates. Another
meeting has been called for tomorrow at
Chicago. Notwithstanding there is no hope
Of drawing the Great Northern into the
meeting. The avertures come mainly
from the Missouri river roads who ind
that they cannot compete with the north
err lines by meeting the through rate
and at the same time attempting TO main
tain their regular ate of Intermediate
points. While these roads are calling for
this special meeting for next week they
are admitting that there is no hopeI0f
succeeding. and that the conference IS
likely to terminate in a rate war, Bat
threats and prayers availetl nothing in
this Instance. The Great Northern has
the big end Of the proposition. and lav-
ing a good thing it probably knows
enough to keep 4 firm grip on it.
The gers who attended the Wash
in9t0n conference and made j verbal
agreement to maintain rates. have al
ready begun TO suggest d revision OF
pledges, alleging MISUNDERSTANDING, etc.
President Hill. who is opposed TO pooling,
has den0raIized the situation by pUrsu-
ing A course Of his own without asklug
the sanction or agreement of other roads,
and the manager find hat this seriously
inr-rferes with the keeping Of pledges
made at this meeting. All this Indicates
that the time is not far distant when the
railroads will have to be conducted Ike
any other business enterprise, for all
there is in it. and by the officials Of the
I particular road. instead Of following the
practice Of letting other roads dictate
rates which their connections nay
charge.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena. July S.--President Mckinley
was asked to-day by Governor Smith
and Senator Carter to appoint Lieu
tenant Colonel Bruce Wallace of the
1st Montana to a good position in the
new regiments that are being formed.
They represented to the president that
such action would be a fitting recog-
milton of Colonel Wallace's services
and tribute to the state of Montana,
that was the first to respond to the
call for men. Governor Smith wires
the president as follows:
II sincerely hope that in selecting
field officers for the new regiments
to be organized you can give Lieuten-
ant Colonel Wallace of the LIST Montana
a place as good as the rank he now
holds. We believe his work with the
1st Montana is such as to win the
place by actual merit. Both the state
and Colonel Wallace merit this recog-
milton by the splendid record of our
regiment"
The message of Senator Carter to the
executive follows:
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace, an ac-
complished young regular army Off
Ger, serving with the 1st Montana vol
unteers, merits a colonePs appoint
ment in the new volunteer regiments,
and as a just compensation to him
our state and the splendid regiment
he has so often led to victory, I earn
estly recommend the appointment

whether 1t was a real race or not,
Colonel Oliver Iselin explained mat
ters soon after the race to an asso-
ciated press representative. He said:
Defender made the mistake and we
simply followed her to make a race. 1t
mas turned out a good one. We are
very well satisfied with it all around,
we both made mistake. but it has
been the best all-around race we have

The regatta committee says that the
event will be considered as race and
Commodore Postley will probably
award the cup to Columbia.

Helena, July S-United States Dis
trict Attorney Rodgers to-day began In
the United States court some actions
against the county treasurer of Mis-
soula county and against the county
Tor money paid in taxes by Flathead
Indians, and to recover the value of
the Indians property sold by the coun-
~ for taxes. The suits are brought in
the name of the United States, as
guardian. One of the suits is entitled
Rosail Clarmount VS.. the county of Mis-
soula, for S27.75, taxes paid involun-
tarily on some cattle and horses. An
other suit is Telesphore G. Damers VS.
Alfred Cave. county treasurer to re-
cover the value of II head of horses
sold for taxes. The property is alleged
to be valued at 1851. Robert Irvie Is an
other plaintiff against County Treas
urer Cave. He desires Judgment for
$53 SIS taxes paid involuntarily on cat
tie and horses. George Mellette wants
S305 from the county for the value of
some property sold for taxes. There is
now pending before Judge Knowles an
action brought for the purpose of test
ing the legality of the taxes imposed by
County Treasurer Higgins upon some
property belonging to Indians living
upon the reservation, and the outcome
of that suit will no doubt determine the
status of those commenced to-day.

Special Dispatch to the Standard

Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.
Rochester, July 8.-Harry Frank st.
Clair of Butte, Mont, who was recently
arrested for larceny, is now under
s2.OOo bonds in this city to answer to
the charge of bigamy.
His attorney declares that St. Clair
has five wives living. Two of them
are said to be in Canada. Three very
pretty and striking Mrs. st. Glars con-
fronted him in police court this morn
ing. They had been brought here on
subpoenaes to testify against him.
Their family names were Lucy E. NY
lett of ~ Franklin street, Ithaca; Ma
bel Ellen Coping Of Palmyra, and Ag-
mes Katherine Barry of 40 University
avenue in this city.
According to statements of his at
torney, st. Clair hopes to get out Of the
scrape on technicalities. He holds that
since st. Clair had been married twice
before he married any one or the three
wives in court he could not be prose-
cuted for bigamy on the testim 1ny of
any OF the wives. for. he argued, that
II was at the time of the second mar
riage that the crime of bigamy was
committed and that all other marriages
contracted after the second marriage
were null. Consequently, he held that
as st. Clair had two wives bsfcre he
married any Of the three in court their
marriages counted for nothing, and he
could not be prosecuted for bigamy in
this country.
The two other marriages mention cd
by the attorney, it is understood, took
place in Canada. Miss Coping knew
st. Clair only one day before she mar
ried him, and Miss Barry knew him
only three days. Miss Hylett was the
only one to whom he gave a wedding
ring.

Governor Rogers Gives Reasons for De-
clining sayers' Invitation.
Olympia, WASH. July 8.--Governor
Rogers to-day gave out for publication
letter to Governor Sayers of Texas in
further explanation of his unwilllngnsss
TO participate in the proposed conven.. on
on the subject of state control of trusts.
He says:
''The trust question is to be made po-
lttical question. OF this there can be no
doubt. Under these circumstances / do
not believe 1t wise for those who are
opposed to the republican party to assist
In Its evident attempt to temporarily
evade the issue by proposing state legisla-
ton as remedy, knowing that this must
prove, In the end, Ineffective"
Governor Rogers takes this issue with
the contention that If the general GO
ernment cannot regulate trusts the differ
ent states can. He refers to amendments
and 10 of the federal constitution.
which, 1t appears to him. are clearly in
tended to make effective the Shirt and
letter of the declaration of Importance re-
garding inalienable rights, among which
is the fundamental natural right to buy
and sell and make combinations not in
imical to the public good Continuing, he
says:
A great majority of the trusts will
however, unquestionably be able to show,
to the satisfaction of the United States
supreme court, at least, that by the use
of large capital and improved methods
they have reduced the cost of their pro-
duotions, and are thus benefit. and not
detriment to the general public. That
the greatest good of the greatest number
has been secured
Concluding, Governor Rogers says that
the trust problem is new phase of the
old hight of the almighty dollar against
Almighty God. The three mothers OF the
trust are:
The money question, the protective tar
iff and railroad rebates. They are con-
trollable only by national legislation"

San Francisco, July S.-Captain

charge of the recruiting office at Sac
ramento, is under orders to change the
location of the latter to Butte city,

volunteers offering their services to the
government from the interior of this

attributed to several causes, but the
most logical of these is probably the
immense fruit and grain crops requir-

when the old Princeton football player
finally holed down on the 34th, bringing
the coveted championship to himself,
the crowd broke into enthusiastic
cheering and Hartman was nearly lift

word that the Oregon volunteers will
be mustered out in Oregon, according to
the original plans.
The transports will enter this port
however, and may be delayed for some

coaling and fresh supplies. The troops
will not be unloaded from the trans
port This is a disappointment to many
of the citizens, who had hoped to homer
and glorify the returning volunteers.
They will proceed north by water,
probably on the same transport. al
