PRECAUTIONS TAKEN

To Insure a Quiet and Peaceful Election IN
Kentucky-The Brown Vote Likely to Be
the Determining Factor.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November g.
A quiet and orderly election may be
predicted for tomorrow. While the
feeling between the factions is at a
rather high tension, the general APP
prehension, it is thought, will do more
to lessen the likelihood of an outbreak
than the precautionary activity which
has been noticeable to-day, among
those who are directing the move
ments of the municipal police and the
State National Guard. If clash should
occure, it Is most likely to be in Louis
vile. At Bowling Green, there has
been a particularly bitter fight between
the Democratic factions and extra
police have been sworn in. But at this
and other larger towns nothing more
serious than the usual election day
casualties is expected. In Louisville,
the greatest feeling has been aroused.
One Democratic faction controls the
police, while the other has made the
alleged interference of these officers
with the local primary and election
machinery one of its principal cam
paign cries. Mayor Weaver has issued
a proclamation appealing for order and
cautioning the police.
Governor Bradley is in the city and
will remain here until after the cleo
ton. A number of reports have been
current to-day as to orders said to have
been sent to military companies
throughout the State to hold themselves
in readiness for call. The unusual
detail of men placed on guard at the
armory of the Louisville Legion, in this
city, at election times, is on duty. In
this state Of preparedness, the authori-
ties are waiting for the passing of to-
morrow Beyond the anxiety which
springs from knowledge of the feeling
aroused in the campaign and the pos
sibility, always present in a city cleo
ton, of an outbreak Of trouble with a
certain class of political workers, there
is nothing to indicate that the services
of the militia will be required.
The campaign closed tonight with
large meetings which were addressed
by the State party leaders. The Demo
Gratis crowded Music Hall to listen to
the final speeches of their leaders, VIM.
Goebel and Senator Blackburn. The
Republicans held rousing meeting at
the Auditorium, where Governor Brad
ley and others spoke. Each of the
State chairmen predicts success for his
ticket The vote of the Brown Demo-
cratic ticket is an unknown quantity
and is likely to be the determining fac
tor.

where. The reception was enthusiast
tic in every sense of the word.

the parlors of the Morris hotel, which
was deliberately decorated with the ma
tional colors. The table at which the
AdmiraPs party sat was decorated with
chrysanthemums and smilax, while in
the center of the table the admiral's
flagship, the Brooklyn, was reproduced
in carnations. chrysanthemums and
roses. The ship rested in a miniature
lake formed of smilax, while from the
floral masts floated silk flags. At 3
o'clock public reception was held in
the hotel parlors and many hundred
persons took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to grasp the admirars hand.

band.

rade will take place followed by a
banquet in the evening. The admiral

McCue got the decision of the referee
in his twenty-five round bout with
Oscar Gardner tonight. The battle
was fought at the Hercules Athletic
Club in Brooklyn, before good sized
crowd. McCue fought as he usually
does. while the Omaha Kid" who was
until recently looked upon as possible
champion, was slow and not in his old
time form. Even his friends agree that
he is going backward. While he was
the favorite with the betting before
the men entered the ring, his perform
ance tonight, taken in connection with
his showing in other battles which he
has fought recently ARE very disappoint-

Interesting Facts and Figures in Regard to an Assay
Office Where the Bullion Runs Into
High Values.

The United States assay office at Hell
enais one of the most important of the
system of minis and assay offices main
tanned by the government as separate
bureau of the treasury department for
the purchase of precious metals for
coinage Since it's establishment by act
of, congress on May IL, 1874 the Helena
assay Office has been of direct benefit in
Developing the mineral wealth existing
in Montana, because 'affording a con-
venient and reliable selling place for
gold bullion at the smallest deduction
for charges imposed by the government
at any of the minis and assay offices.
This obviates the risk and cost of trans
portation TO more distant points and
insures immediate returns to the pro-
ducer. Settlement for bullion is made
on the day following its receipt by
treasury draft payable in gold coin or
by check on local government deposit
tory.
The building was completed in 1876

1884: Eugene B. Braden, the present in
cumbent, since 1894. Louis A. Walker
is meter having been appointed by
President Mckinley during August,
1897. Besides the assayer in charge and
the melter, a force of IL persons is en-
ployed In the clerical assaying and
melting departments of the office.
The government has been liberal in
the maintenance of this institution.
The equipment of appliances and ap-
paratus Is the best of any similar office
in the United States, while the work
performed is of the highest excellence.
So exact are all melts, assays and COM
putations that the variation was only
S1.10 in amount on more than 100000
of gold bullion shipped to the Phila-
delphia mint during the fiscal year
ending June so, 1893.
Situated in a rich mineral region and
easily accessible from an extensive ter
ritory, the Helena assay office attracts
a large amount of both placer and mill
bullion from other states and countries,
notably, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
British Columbia and the klondike.
Upon receipt of bullion from the owner,
whether delivered in person or by reg
istered mail or express, the deposit is
weighed accurately to the one-hun-
dredth part of an ounce and receipt
for such weight in troy ounces is is
sued in the name of the depositor The
weight is then checked by the melter
and the deposit melted.
When the weight after melting has
been determined the bar is sampled by

IN THESE MONTANA TOWNS
JOHN NEVER FOUND A HOME

Great Falls, Sept. 4.-No Chinaman
resides in Great Falls; no Chinaman
has ever resided in Great Falls; posi-
bly, no Chinaman will ever reside here
And the reason is not always clear.
The celestials of the crosscut features
swarm in every other city of the state;
they are represented in Belt, Neihart,
Cascade and every othtr camp in this
county; they are found all along the
line of the Great Northern; they do
business throughout the Judith basin,
but they avoid Great Falls as the
healthy shun a lazar house. If you
meet two or three of them on a railway
train and inquire if Great Falls is their
destination. you face a grin that re-
minds you of the opening in a rice sack
and then the group will chatter and
cackle away among themselves like a
lot Of tin and woodenware shaking at
the tail OF a peddler's cart, apparently
enjoying as a joke a condition which to
them is no joke. For it is an unwritten
law, an. ukase issued by the common
people and not found in the statutes or
the ordinance book, that no Chinaman
shall sojourn more than one day inside
the city limits. And this is unique not
only so far as the state, but through
out the continent. No other city or
town In America is forbidden to the Chi
nese. This law is known and recognized
from one coast to the other: the Chinese
of Boston have heard of Great Falls
ban and the Five Companies of Frisco
instruct their recruits in it the moment
= they arrive over the Underground Linn
tied. And they all obey 1T, too.
The strike among the laundry en-
ployes calls this law into prominence
just now. Not that it will tend to any
infringement Of the laws provisions at
all, but 1t suggests to many minds the
existence of Chinese laundries in other
towns and cities. And it also recalls
the various expressions, anti-Chinese,
which have occurred in the past ten or
dozen years.
The first arose about 'S7. if memory

Veloped very strongly then, for there
