WHAT THIS COUNTRY GETS.
Secures Absolute Ownership Of Pago-
Pago, One Of the Finest HarbOrs
ON the Pacific and the Only Safe
One In the Island Group.

WASHINGTON. Nov. $50 far the state
department has received no official state
ment of the agreement between Great Bril-
tain and Germany as to Samoa. However.
the officials DO not doubt the accuracy OF
the press report.
The chief interest OF the United States In
the Samoan archipelago was the preserva-
ton OF our rights In the harbor of Paso-
Pago, a lease of which was secured to us
by the treaty OF 1878 This did not give us
any absolute property on the island 1t
was provided that 1t was TO remain In
force for ten years from It's date. and was
then terrninable on twelve months notice
by either party. BY similar treaty, In
the year 1879. the German government had
right to the establishment OF a naval
station In Saiuafasa harbor. In the island
OF Upolu. and in the same year Great Bri-
tain acquired the right to establish naval
station on the shores of Samoan harbor

government, this privilege not applying

GEN. LUD|NGION'S REPORT.
HEAVY LABORS OF THE QUARTER
MASTERS DEPARTMENT.
ernment Transports, Includtng
Two Armies Taken to Manila and
One Army Brought Back Here.

WASHINGTON. Nov. a--The report Of
Quartermaster Ludington made public by
the wa- department today shows an i'm
mense amount OF work accomplished by
this department in connection with the
military operations CT the past year.
This included organization OF a transport
fleet, the moving OF two armies to the
Philippines. in addition to the troops ,s.n.-
ported TO Cuba and Porto Rico. the re-
patria,ion OF over S5os Spanish soldiers
from the various islands captured, ths care
and transportation of the immense guam
titles of animals and supplies necessary for
the support Of our ewn soldiers and the
disinterulent and return TO tho United
States OF over lao soldiers and civilians
who died IN the government service In
Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines.
Gen. Ludington gives lis. OF thirty
seven vessels now included In the trans
pert fleet. During the fiscal year these
vessels have carried co2,Ss7 persons between
Cuba. Porto Rico. Hawaii, the Philippine
islands and the United States. All this
has been accomplished without the loss OF
a single life through this account. There
have been carried 27 ,ss3 animals and Sc. $50
tons OF freight. The work Of sanitation
and reconstruction accomplished in Cuba,
and Porto Rico has been immense. II has
included the construction o, water works,
the rebuilding and purifying OF barr acks
and the building Of whsryes and cleaning
Of whole towns and cities. In the Philip
pines two distinct armies have been landed
and one returned 10 the United States. The
handling OF this great force has been ac
co-npiished with small delay In face Of
grea, obstacles, lack OF wharves and land
ing facilities and IN the presence in many
instances Of hostile natives and armed
Spsniards.
Since the occupation Of Luzon and the
adjacent islands the same work OF build
ing and sanitation has been prosecuted
as In Cuba and Porto Rico In addition
to distiliing plants for water and me
charical devices FOR coaling ships, the
department has begun the installation OF
a refrigerating plant at Manila with a
capacity OF forty tons OF ice day ana
containing 1850 tons Of perishabie pro-
visions.
Material has been forwarded from the
United States for a bridge over the Pas.g
river and the railroad has been repaired
and operated over such parts OF tho line
as are In the hands os the American
forces
A total Of i,3l3 bodies OF soldiers and
Others dying aboard have bern returned
10 the United States from Cuba, Porto
Rico. the Philippines ard Hawaii. Many
OF them were returned tn their friends al
the expense OF the government and the
3r-fz t- al
etcr{es This has been a labor OF great
difficulty. bat q iargs number of the re-
rfnins have been identified and many
pieces q property belonging 20 the de-
ceased have been recovered. marked and
returned 10 friends and relatives, or are
being held at present .n the department

ter, respectively. OF the bride, and Lieut..

quired for the performance OF the cere-
mony.
AT 9:&5 this morning two carriages con-
tanning the wedding party drew up before
the modest red brick rectory In the rear

Mackin had In his early years been
sailor and II gave him additional happi-
ness 10 know that re was 10 be married

Missoula, July 9.-Lou Lyon has re-
ceived an interesting letter from 81
Taylor. who is in the mercantile busi-
ness at Lake Teslin. Mr.. Taylor writes
that the rush of fortune seekers is still
on and that there are thousands of men
with but little money left who are max
ing desperate efforts to reach the
scenes of the reputed recent rich dis
coveries. Many of the men who went
over the Edmonton trail last year are
now reaching Teslin and are dismayed
to learn that they are still thousand
miles from Dawson. Most of these men
are changing their route and are drift
ing to the newly reported treasure
fields. Mr.. Taylor says that the general
opinion there is that the recent re-
ports of rich discoveries are circulated
by the transportation companies who
are anxious to get some returns for the
large amounts that they have invested.
Many of the men who reach Teslin are
discouraged when they find that they
are still a long distance from the placer
fields and are selling what they have
and pulling out for home. There is
much suffering among these travellers
and some of them are dependent upon
charity for their living. Mr.. Taylor eX-
poets to come out in December. He
does not know whether or not he will
come to Missoula.

An Interesting Collection.

Missoula, July 9.-Dr E. l.. p. Ector of
this city has an interesting collection of
antiquities that he Is fond Of showing to
his friends. Most of them came from his
old home in North Carolina, and there is
an interesting history connected with
each of them. There is an old Seth Thorn
as clock whose age is nearly $50 years old,
that ticks cheerfully in one corner of the
doctors office and keeps accurate time.
There is an old-fashfoned flax wheel that
has done service for many generations,
and is still in good running order. The
doctor also has some old-fashioned fire
arms that attract much attention. One of
these is a long brass-barreed rife that
was made by the Moravians in the early
part of the century. The barrel is nearly
five feet long and the trigger arrange
ment is decidedly unique. 1t was made
after the flint lock days. but early in the
period of the use of the percussion cap.
A visit to the Doctors Office is we'll worth
the while
