THE TROOPS WILL
LAND AT ILO|LO

New York, Jan. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says The
gunboats Concord and Petrol, sent to
| lloilo by Admiral Dewey to cooperate
with the cruiser Baltimore in support of
the army expedition, are the lightest
draught vessels in his fleet, but have
powerful batteries of siX-inch rifles and
rapid-fre guns which make them among
the most useful vessels in the fleet After
they are no longer needed at Iloilo, they
will continue to cruise among the south
ern islands of the archipelago, where
American jurisdiction has not yet been
established.
Confidence is expressed at the war de-
partment that General Miller will land
all the troops from his transports by the
end of this week. 1t has been decided
that close confinement of the troops on
ship board for over a week would have a
damaging effect on their health and spir-
it's, which cannot be permitted, and there
fore General Miller will seek to enter
negotiations with the insurgents after
landing. In any event, however, accord
ing to the present understanding, the
| troops will be landed without further
delaV.

MANY STEAMERS
WILL BE LOST

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 6.-News from Daw-
son states that a number Of Yukon river
steamers will be lost when the ice breaks
up in the spring. Some! were caught in
very unprotected places, and can scarcely
escape being wrecked. The Robert Kerr of
the Moran fleet is stuck fast on a bar 50
miles below Circle City. The fine steamer
Arnold, of the Alaskan Exploration COM
panys fleet was caught by the ice while
fast on a bar some 80 miles below Forty
Mile A crack boat of the Empire line, the
Seattle, is stuck 12 miles below Circle City.
She is on a bar and ice was jammed up all
around her. The Tacoma and John G. Barr
are also fast in dangerous positions.
Thirty citizens of Dawson have been in
dicted for perjury in connection with a
recent stampede to Kentucky creek, a short
distance below Dawson. Swearing to false
statements regarding claims is the charge

ARE OPPOSED TO
SECTAR|AN SCHOOLS

Washington, Jan. GA petition has
been laid before congress by the Rev.
James Fl. Ross, in behalf of the home
missionary society of the evang cal
Protestants of the United States oppos-
!, ing the reopening of Indian contract
school question as urged by Cardinal
Gibbons and the archbishops of the
Catholic church. The petition asks con-
gress to adhere to it's announced non-sec-
tartan appropriation policy and con-
cludeS:
I'VE not only protest against reopen
ing the question of sectarian appropria-
tions, now closed by congressional ac-
ton, but we petition that the general
government now adopt a definite, perma-
nent and uniform principle in accord
with the spirit of the United States con-
stitution for advancing education among
the Indians on the basis of the American
free common school system, in order that
there shall be no departure from the
American principle of keeping separate
and distinct the functions of church and
state'

mended the valuation of the peso at 60
cents. Owing to the restricted amount of
the coinage the peso is worth considerably
more than bullion of the same weight. At
the customs house two pesos are accepted
for 81 in duties. The people are delighted
to be Americans, and there is every pros
pect of prosperity for our new possession.
Whatever mineral wealth there is, is
wholly undeveloped, and the agricultural
possibilities are apparently boundless.
Only portion of the land is under culti-
walton. There are no Waterworks, sewers,
electric light plants nor electric railways.
There is a good field for electric roads
throughout the island. With the exception
of the military road, there is no road of any
kind in Porto Rico. The franchise seekers
and promoters in general have begun to
give place to more solid and promising
| class. Undoubtedly capital will begin to
seek investment there soon. There is no
field for man without capital, owing to
the high price of land

THE GROWTH OF
SANTIAGO TRADE

Washington, Jan. 6.-The trade of San
tago is already showing a surprising
growth under American administra ton.
Gen. Wood has submitted a report to the
war department in which he states that
the policy of non-discriminative inter-
course extended to the vessels of all ma
tions in Santiago province has greatly
facilitated the re-esta blisnment of COM
mercial relations and has been one of the
chief features in the restoration of COM
parative prosperity in commerce, indus
try and agriculture. Outward cargoes
of sugar and other products are being
gradually found for shipping but exporta-
tions from the mines of the province have
contributed the bulk of the exports.
THE fact says Gen. Wood, that the
mines were put into operation at an early
date after the capitulation of Santiago
was important in that the employment Of
large numbers of natives during criti-
cal period was stimulated by the facili-
ties for shipping ores"

HARD PROBLEM
TO BE SOLVED

Washington, Jan. 6.-The division of Gus
toms and insular affairs of the war depart
ment has received from Collector of Gus
toms at Havana, Colonel Lasker H. Bliss,
under date of December 30, 1898, his report
Colonel Bliss says that the first serious en-
barrassment he met with on taking charge
of the customs house at Havana was
caused by the fact that the Spaniards had
removed nearly everything except the bare
walls and floors. His first official step was
to obtain full list of employees in the GUS
toms house, their salaries and nationality,
and next information as to their general
character and reputation for integrity. Col
onel Bliss says that, as was to be expected,
the several places in the customs house
when he assumed charge We're chiefly held
by Spaniards, the total number employed
being 239 The problem that confronts him,
he says, is how to repair a house from
foundation to roof without a material dis
turbance of it's occupants and without in
terfering with their daily business. Under
this condition, he remarks, he cannot, of
course, begin by tearing the house down.

Senatorial Situation

The approaching battle for the sena-
torship gives promise of being about the
warmcst affair Of the kind that this
young state ever saw. AS the time draws
near for the first show of strength on
the part of the candidates knowing ones
declare that it becomes more apparent
that 1T will be battle royal quite differ
ent from the suddenly determined con-
test that had been predicted. More than
one who claims to be posted on the out
look predicts that it will be q long-drawn
out contest, daily ballots succeeding one
another with little material change in
the standing of the leading candidates.
This opinion is the reverse of the one
generally obtaining here before the legis-
latuVe convened. Then it was quite gem
orally believed and commented that the
Sena tOrial question would be soon dis
posed of and the lawmakers permitted
to devote their time and energies to the
more serious affairs of state. The reason
for the change is one of the guesses Of
the day.
The arrival of w. A. Clark has no
doubt strengthened the hopes of his
workers, making them more determined
than ever to put up a last grand fight for
the Butte banker. The republican caucus
Of Wednesday night is believed to have
complicated the situation. AS the story
goes it was not the most harmonious of
caucuses so far as supporting the caucus
nominee Tom Marshall, is concerned
Although the fifteen republicans who par
ticipated pledged themselves to secrecy,
1t has leaked out that all did not agree
to abide by the decision of the caucus.
1t is quite reliably asserted that there
was disposition prevalent to settle the
senatorial fight by voting where the
votes would count, and that is inter-
preted to mean for Clark. This report
has worried the ant-Clark forces con-
siderably and redoublcd the energies of
the men who are determined that he shall
never capture the coveted prize. Mean
while W. G. Conrad appears to be saving
wood, looking complacently on while the
contending forces fight it out j. X.
TOole, Martin Maginnis and others who
have senatorial aspirations, have their
ears very close to the ground awaiting
the welcome call that they believe will
result from the clash of the Clark DAILY
comba tants. A number of others who
might be termed dark horses are remain
ing quietly in the background, rarely
showing their hands. The lobby of the
Hotel Helena is thronged from morning
until morning and it is as full of rumors
as of jabbering men. The casual visitor
can get almost any kind of a story he
wants. Last nlSnt some one started the
report that Days car had arrived and
was sidetracked at the Montana Central
depot. This was sufficient to scare more
than one of the opposing forces. 1t is
claimed that three or four even went
down to see if he We're there. Although
absent in person, it is known that he is

graph wires and may put in an appear

A PostOffice Ruling

Washington, Jan. 6.-In view of the
fact the communication between the
communication between the states and
the Yukon district is necessarily slow
and irregular the postmaster general has
ordered all letters addressed to parties in
the Yukon district held for postage where
mailed shall be held at the mailing office
for 80 days before being forwarded to the

dressees an opportunity to forward deficit
postage. The steamboat railway post

reference to the accusation made by
Representative Brown of Cowley yester-
day that Leedy was influenced by the

partment to parties, demanding money

Regardless Of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more sick
ness, suffering, and deaths than any other
organs Of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting people to-
day is traceable to kidney trouble. Itprevades
all classes of society, in all climates, regard
less of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are unmis-
taxable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep
1essness, pain or dull ache in the back, a
desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned
and germ-flled blood. Sometimes the heart
acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the
lidneys) are found in the urine, which il
neglected will result in Brght's Disease, the
most dangerous form Of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of DIR.
