A VICTORY FOR HESS.
Smead Fails to Make His Case Stick BE
fore the Commissioner.


Missoula, March 29-The oft postpon-
ed trial of Assistant Assessor Hess for
the trespass upon the Flathead reserva-
ton came off to-day before Commits
sioner Smith of this city. 1t was the
original intention to take Mr.. Hess to
Butte and to have his hearing there,
but the programme was changed and
the hearing took place in Mfssoula. The
arrest o. Mr.. Hess was made upon the
affidavit of Agent Smead of the reserv-
alton, who stated that Mr..
Hess had been on the resery-
alton without authority after he had
been ordered off. MI Hess at the time
was carrying out the instructions of
the county commissioners and the as
SCISSOR and was endeavoring to secure
correct list of the property on the
reservation that is liable to taxation.
There has been for years dispute
between the county authorities and the
reservation people as to who should
pay taxes on the reservation, and the
matter has never been fully decided.
The matter has already been explained
in these dispatches Mr.. Hess had pro-
crossed with his list till he reached the
Jocko agency. There Agent Smead pro-
tested that his property could not be
assessed, as he is an employe of the
government. Mr.. Hess disagreed with

agent had refused to do so. He then
attempted to have Alex Matt, the agen-
cy blacksmith, who is half-breed
Piegan, furnish list of the property.
Matt refused and Hess had begun to
prepare list from what information
he could get, when he was ordered off
the reservation. He came to Missoula
as instructed and was arrested here by
deputy marshal.
q
noon by County Attorney Denney and
Colonel T. C. Marshall. Deputy United
States Attorney English appeared for
the prosecution. The case was inter-
esting throughout. The defense showed
clearly that Mr.. Hess was acting in ac-
cordance with his instructions and that
he had not exceeded his rights.
The most interesting feature of the
trial was Colonel Marshall's scoring of
Agent Smead when the latter attempted
to correct him on point of law. The
argument made by Colonel Marshall
was thorough one and a fine present.
alton of the case. Mr.. Denney also
showed that the position taken by the
colonel is correct one
Mr.. Hess had something up his sleeve
that was a bombshell in the camp of
the agency people. 1t was letter from
the agency to Chief Aeneas. telling the
old Indian that the county had right
to assess all residents of the reserva-
ticn who are not properly members of
the tribes. This letter stated positive
ly that none of the men who were men
toned by the chief in his complaint to
the agency We're under the protection
of the government. When Mr.. Hess
produced this letter the prosecution
threw up their hands and the case was
all off with them Mr. Hess was re-
leased from custody by Commissioner
Smith and will at once resume the as
sessment of the reservation properly.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.

The present indications are that as
one result of the peace conference now
going on at The Hague, a permanent
international tribunal will be provided
for, open to all nations, for the set
Element of international differences,
the points in controversy to be submit
ted as to jury, and the finding to be
binding upon both parties This is the
Russian proposition, and England and
the United States are in accord with it,
while France is favorable, Italy less so,
and Germany is holding aloof. Even
if supported by Italy, however, Ger
many antagonism will not be able to
thwart this valuable idea. Russia,
England and America are also in ac-
cord upon plans to minimize the hor
rors of war, if war must result between
any two or more nations, and England
and this country also agree that none
tary indemnities are to be measured
and adjusted by jury of nations or by
the permanent arbitration tribunal,
while upon the question of "no priva-
teering and exemption from capture at
sea of private property" there is also
a perfect agreement. Russia stands
for no further increase or progression
of ornaments, but this question does
not appear to have been passed upon
conclusively by the representatives Of
other nations.
1t is yet too early to say what may
come out of this international confer
ence, but the very fact that it is being
held is good omen, which will do
much to pave the way for that era
in the world when wars shall be no
more"

A CENTENARIAN,s VIEWS.

The New York World has interview
ed Joseph McGrath, of No. 444 East
Eighty-second street, that city, who
has just celebrated his hundred and
first birthday, and is still erect, hale
and hearty. Mr.. McGrath is a stone
cutter by trade, and worked at it until
he was ninety-two, when his wife died,
aged ninety-siX, and he went to live a
retired life with his daughter. Asked
to his habits of life, the old gentleman
said:
NO, l don't work now / just go over
to Whitestone and collect the rents and
keep the houses in repair, most of which
tired now. When a man works hard for
one century he deserves to be a gentle
man for the next.
mo, l never aimed to be old nor alb
stained from anything. I've drunk plenty
Of good whiskey for eighty-five years. and
when l can't get it good | take what
corncobs, and l never denied myself a
chew for the sake of becoming a centen-
arian.
And didn't go in for physical culture
or athletics to build my system up and
keep on living like the young folks of to-
day just worked when | had to, and
pidNeu when L COulu anu say. boys
Five gray heads bent closer to the dark
locks of Mr.. McGrath.
II played like h when l did play.
and no mistake about that
The centenarian joined in the laugh
that followed, and concluded:
II don't want any one TO think I'm an
because l was a tough boy either I'm
just here. and 101, because the good God
sees fit to let me live. and | hope He
will see things in the same light a good
while longer
If Mr.. McGrath hadn't drank or used
tobacco, and had taken reasonable care
of himself, he might have reached a
ripe old age. AS it is, he will probably
die prematurely at 105 or ITO.

SAME OLD GAME OF GKaR.

England is at her old trick of OBJ
tanning more territory, this time from
Uncle Sam. The British Foreign Of
flee has decided that it will be impos-
sible to close the question as to a
modification of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty until after the Anglo-American
commissioners have reached a conclu-
sion as to how much territory located
in what is known as the panhandle
of Alaska, this government would be
willing to cede to Canada. In other
words, England will make concessions
as to the control of the Nicaragua
canal if we agree to recognize Can
ada's claim to a large slice of Alaska
1t is pretty certain in advance that the
government of the United States will
not cede one square mile of present
American territory in Alaska. Canada
has simply claim. 1t is a most I'M
just one, at MISUNDERSTANDING either
in law or in fact, and the stand taken
by the London Foreign Office is only
a vulgar attempt at a hold-up.

ACCEPTED.

The Reina Mercedes is Now a Part of The
Navy.
Washington, May 29.-The Navy De
partment to-day instructed the COM
mahdant of the navy yard at Norfolk
to accept the Spanish prize Reina Mer-
cedes from the Merritt & Chapman
Wrecking Company. He was also in
structed to have an inventory made at
once of the articles recovered with her.
Under their contract the Merritt &
Chapman Company will receive s75,-
600 from the government as payment
of all demands for their services.
Two propositions regarding the fu-
ture of the cruiser are under considera-
ton at the Navy Department-one to
put the vessel in thorough repair for
use in the naval service, and the other
to preserve her in her original condi-
ton, 50 far as practicable, as a souve-
mir of the recent war.

out fox ia old hours, and d 4 rsezslit
they are still being observed
There would appear to be no good
reason why the Saturday business
should not be confined to the morning
hours, particularly in the summer sea-
son. Saturday afternoon is already
very generally observed by the COM
mercial houses of this city in the warm
months, and it is but question of
time until the custom extends. Most
of the Saturday banking business is
done before noon, except in the matter
OF making deposits and change, and
these matters, in a very large majority
of cases, could be attended to as we'll
before noon as afterwards. 1t makes
no difference in the matter of notes
falling due on Saturday, for if they
are not paid before noon on that day,
they are not protestable before Monday,
which really gives the borrower little
more time, without expense or risk to
either him or his endorser.
The Saturday half-holiday is new
thing for the banks here, but once given
a fair trial, its advantages would soon
become apparent, and the local COM
mercial world would adjust itself to the
change without trouble or friction.
We all work hard enough as it is.
WHY not ease I'D a little here and
there, when the chance comes?

THE WAR GOES ON,

The advices from Manila, published
in yesterday mornings papers, show a
renewed tendency to hostilities on the
part of the Filipinos, all along the line
of active operations on the Island of
Luzon. The idea presents itself that
the peace talk on the part of the ma
tives was simply play for more time,
bringing the rainy season that much
nearer, and giving Aguinaldo and his
officers and counsellors an opportuni-
ty to gather themselves together. as
certain where they are at and open
a fresh campaign with the advantages
of climate on their side. Another
series of encounters. with a CORES
