GAVE CHEERS FOR BUTTE
The First Montana Accepts the
Citys Invitation.
NO FORMAL RECEPTION

Special Dispatch to the Standard
San Francisco. Sept. 27.-The 1st Mon
tana regiment will be mustered out on
Oct. II, and the day following the young
veterans from the Philippines expect to
start for home.
The announcement was formally
made to-day and the men were de-
lighted at the prospect of their early
departure. Colonel Kessler assembled
all the men in camp this morning and
read message he had just received
from the citizens committee of Butte.
stating that preparations were in prog
ress to give fitting reception to Mon
tana's fighting representatives on their
return there. The committee recognized
the fact that the men might have plans
of their own after they are mustered
out, and it was with a view of consult
ing their wishes that Colonel Kessler
assembled the regiment to get an express
sion of the general sentiment.
In their invitation. the Butte COM
mittee informed the men that a special
train would take them to Butte and
that after the reception their fares would
be paid to their various home towns
Such a liberal proposal could only meet
with heartiest appreciation and cheers
We're given, in turn, for Butte, Colonel
kessler and Ex-Governor Richards with
resounding tiger
The two Anaconda companies held q
smoker last nigLt at the headquarters
of Company NJ. 1t was intended as a re-
union of the company and several
hours We're spent in talking over war
experiences and the anticipated pleas
ures on reaching home. Among the
boys the wish seemed to father the hope
that anything like q formal reception
especially in the matter of speech
making, would be dispensed With.
1t seems to be the general sentiment
that if their friends could meet them
at either Turner or Hibernia hall, or
both, they would be quite contented
with light luncheon. All thought these
halls would be ample to accommodate
the companies and their friends, and
just the place for the purpose.
While there are very few of the Ana
conda boys who are not in at least fair
health, it may be some of them will be
the worst for their experiences after
they set home, and friends of the boys
now visiting here have expressed a
hope that if there are any funds raised
in Anaconda, portion will be set apart
as a reserve for the use of any of the
soldiers who may not be in a condition
to work.
First Sergeant Mcbride was pro-
NOTED to-day to be I'd Lieutenant Of
company X.
Governor Smith of Montana expects
to make appointments to three other
vacancies in the Montana regiment I'M
mediately. There are one captain and
two battalion adjutants needed to make
the complement of commissioned Off
GERS.
Ex-Governor Richards and j. H.
Durston departed for home on the even
ing train and Governor Smith and
number Of his party expect to leave to-
morrow night.

VOLUNTEERS WELCOMED.
Idaho Men We're Given a Royal Recep-
ton In Portland.

Portland, Ore, Sept. G.-Four hundred
Idaho volunteers. en- route to their homes,
stopped several hours in this city to-day
and were the guests of the emergency
corps and the Red Cross society. The
train was in two sections the first ar
irving about 1870, while the second sec
tion did not reach here until nearly five
hours later. An ovation was given the
volunteers as the first section of their
train pulled into the union depot Whis-
ties in the harbor shrieked their salutes
II the first appearance of the train; cheer
after cheer went up from the large crowd
gathered at the depot and the entire line
Of march was black with people anxious
to welcome the soldiers.
A band and Captain Won Eggloffsten's
company of national guardsmen were at
chiefs waved out in welcome. The band
Comes" and the local military company
stood with arms at present. The soldiers
quickly filed out of the cars and were
soon shaking hands with relatives and
friends, many of whom had come from
Idaho. The men marched to the armory.
where an elaborate lunch was served by
the women of the emergency corps and
the Red Cross society. Each of the ten
long tables was adorned with an abund-
ance of flowers. and at each plate was a
La France rose. At o'clock luncheon
was over and the men resumed their
journey homeward.
The second section went direct to the
armory and after a hurried meal left at
Gas for home.

ence of 10000 people. Some Of the
visitors had flowers for the admiral,
and more had good things for the crew.
One man presented the crew with g.
rowboat load of watermelons. AS soon
as Admiral Dewey could detach himself
from those who were so eager to see
him he returned the officers visit. He
first called upon Rear Admiral Samp-
son, whose ship lay next to his, and
then upon Rear Admiral Howison, at
the other end of the line. For this
ceremony the admiral himself donned
the full uniform of his rank. There
was a pretty ceremony as he went
aboard the New York and the Chi
cago, and as the little launch in which
he sat passed each ship of the squad
ron the sides were manned, the drums
were rolled, the bugles blown and the
officers at the waist saluted.
Upon the return of the launch to the
Olympia the jack-staff from which his
flag fluttered was taken down by Ad-
miral Dewey's orders and further for
NAL ceremonies were thus omitted
another proof of the admiraPs mate
modesty: Then there were official Wis
its between the officers of the fleet. and
these continued with hardly an inter-
ruption for two hours. One of the ad-
miral's first acts was to dispatch
Flag Lieutenant Brumby with his COM
pliments to the mayor of New York
and to apprise him officially of the ad-
mirals arrival.
Rear Admiral Howison's appearance
in the harbor will in no way interfere.
with the programme for Friday. 1t
will be carried out as arranged, except
that his flagship, If it should join the
parade, would follow the Olympia in
stead Of Rear Admiral SIMPSONS flag
ship New York.
But 1t is not Rear Admiral Howl
sons wish to take part. He is re-
ported to have said that he and his
crew were just in after their journey
and preferred to rest up and clean up
their travel-stained ship. If he should
ride in the land parade on Saturday,
being SIMPSONS senior, he will pre-
cede the commander of the North At
lantic squadron.
At sunset the ensigns came f1uttering
down from all the ships, the crews
and officers faced the flag and the ma.
tional airs sounded over the water.
The twilight faded and strings Of sig
nal lights twinkled on the flagship as
orders were sent dancing down the
line. The fleet lay all shining in light
The excursion boats, with their crowds
of sightseers continued to circle about

A WATER FETE.
Brilliant IlIuminations-Jt Was Like a
Venetian Carnival.

Brilliant IllumInatiOnS-Jt was Like n
Venetian Carnival.
New York, Sept. 27.-viewed from the
shore skirting Staten Island or Bay
Ridge, the Narrows took on the appear
ance tonight of d big water fete or We
netian carnival, formed by revenue cut
tiers and warships, beginning with the
Olympia at ST. George and ending with
the Onondago, lying off quarantine. Be
tween this line of beautifully lighted war
ships and the Staten Island shore darted
brilliantly illuminated launches carrying
prettily gowned women and occasionally
a party of naval officers resplendent in
gold braid and dress uniforms. The
searchlights of the ships chased many
of these elusive grayhounds as they
scurried thither and hither in and out
among the warships, stopping at the
gangway of one ship and then hurrying
to another, the ladies begging at each
to be permitted to go on board and laugh
ing protesting when the obdurate officer
of the watch talked of naval rules which
forbade visitors on the ships after
o'clock.
The Olympia was the center of attraC-
ton. The vari-colored lights used for
signaling were kept constantly flashing
from ship to ship and at stated intervals
a long succession of lights would flash
out like sudden display of fireworks
when a number of the vessels would sim
ultaneously send messages to the guard
ship.
The most unique illumination along the
shores of the harbor was the effective
display at quarantine boarding station,
above the Narrows. 1t consisted of the
words welcome Home" in white electric
lights with border of blue and white
lights and an immense American flag lax

The enormous increase in the
number of letters carried in the U.

rate of postage must eventually be
reduced to one cent an ounce. The

such a measure through congress

TEEN of the people, but no higher
than the esteem in which
everybody holds Hostetter's Sto-

THE PROHIBITION GAIN.

THE PROHIBITION GAIN.
Fargo Forum:
Senator Hansbrough has come
out in a decidedly manly way, and
seems to have the best of the argu-
ment with the attorney general,
who in an hasty and, the senator
thinks, an i'll advised opinion,
rules the anti-canteen amendment
to the army bill which Senator
Hansbrough added, out of order.
The trouble with. the senator's
amendment which was incorpor-
ated, and is part of the law, is not
its intent, but the phraseology of
the section does not seem to meet
the views of the head of the de-
partment of justice-does not run
with that rhythmic flow of goose
grease to which the ears of the
attorney general is accustomed
coming from the classic confines
of New Jersey, where: the song of
the mosquito is abroad in the land.
Senator Hansbrough discusses
at some length the untoward posi-
ton of the official, and evidences
his knowledge of vigorous English
in demolishing the bubble of MI.
Griggs, and showing up the
absurdity of his construction.
The position taken by our
senator will be maintained by the
common sense of the people. But
it is not so much as to the con-
struction of Senator Hansbrough's
anti-canteen amendment to the
army bill, passed last winter, as to
the fact that North Dakota's senior
senator has openly and avowedly
arraigned himself on the side Of
the prohibition sentiment of the
state, and boldly taken the stand
that prohibition is right and
must be northumberland that he
has the courage to stand by the
cause, without fear of the dire
consequence threatened on the
part of the element in this state,
given over to the open saloon and
defiance Of law and order.
It would have been much better
from a party stand had MIR. Nc
Kinley's law officer held with
congress and stood by the friends
of temperance, instead of deliber-
ately flying in the face Of right
and pandering to wrong-so flag
rantly as to make it appears a
paramount object of administra-
ton policy. Defenders of party
policy will have to apologize for
the unwise course-it will not
down. But the law and order
people-the great anti-saloon ele.
ment of North Dakota, will be
proud of the bold decided stand
for prohibition taken by their sen.
ator on this all absorbing question,
and all admit the cause of tenn.
perance is greatly benefited by MI
Hansbrough's courageous stand.

PROOF OF

In the Rochester, N. Y, Demo-
crat and Chronicle, there lately
appeared remarkable article on
"Bryan and. Prosperity" which
says:
Mr.. Bryan has been down in
Houston, Tex, telling the people that
prosperity has not come" just what
meaning Mr.. Bryan attaches to the
word "prosperlty" we do not know. II
it conveys to his mind nothing more
than the presenter prospective realiza-
ton of his personal political ambition,
it must be admitted that Unprecedented
the truth to his hearers in the South.
But If the word signifies good times in
industrial. and business circles, Mr..
Bryan is either helplessly or willfully
blind to the conditions that exist all
around him.
For some of the undeniable facts Of
the situation are these:
Most of the shops and factories Of
the country are working at their full
capacity.
The distributive movement of goods
throughout the United States isIarge,
i than ever before. The masse Of the
people are selling what they produce
and buying what they want in quaint
ties which in the aggregate are i'm
mense beyond all previous records.
The export trade Of the United
States Is Of q magnitude never befor,
attained. Onr domestic needs ar,
supplied from domestic sources to al
extent never before Known. Thes,
large sales abroad and this large con
sumption of home products bring ant
keep money in our channels of trad
and fields Of labor.
Money, in fact, is, abundant ant
available fol- all legitimate and profit
yielding enterprises.
A million o r men are at work nov
than we're employed in 1896, and tn
wages in the majority Of their indus
tales are 10 to 20 per cent higher thai
they we're then.
These are facts recognized and pro
claimed by all newspapers Of all par
ties, and easily verified by any one VIII
goes around with his eyes open.
Aud the great change from har'
times to good times has come abou
without the aid of those policies whic
