THEY PROTESTED.
Representatives of the Labor Unions
Called Upon Governor Smith.


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. May Pit developed to-day
that on Wednesday Governor Smith was
waited on by w. H. Eddy and a man by
the name of Haggerty, both from Butte,
representing labor unions other than the
Miners union. who presented to the gov
ernor protest against the state surren-
dering to the military the men arrested
in the western part of the state on sus-
picion of having been connected with the
Wardner riot unless they were taken by
reouisition papers. AS the governor had
wired the day previous to the sheriff of
Missoula county requesting him to assist
the military authorities SO far as possible,
and had also informed Lieutenant Lyons,
In charge of the troops making the ar
rests that he would be willing to have
the men taken to Idaho by the military
without demanding acquisitions from the
governor Of Idaho. he could not very we'll
act on the protest. He informed his call
ers, however that so far as he was con-
cerned they could rest assured that the
laws would be observed, and no one de-
prived of his rights. In other words, he
would not be a party in any Illegal action
in taking the men back to Idaho. A re-
port has been current here to-day that
the governor has sent a written protest
to General Merriam against the way the
men were taken from the state. If he
has written such a letter he was not dis
posed to tell the Standard reporter about
it, and any action of that sort would
hardly agree with the impression he tried
to convey to the reporter as to the result
of the visit of the Butte men.

captain of the Senator then offered to

WORN OUT.
The Nebraska Regiment Asks for Tenn
porary Relief.

porary Relief.
Manila, May 10, via Hong Kong.-The
lst regiment Nebraska volunteer in
fantry is taking the unusual step of
respectfully petitioning the division
commander, General Macarthur, to
temporarily relieve them from duty at
the front.
The regiment is handy exhausted by
the campaign, in which it has taken
an active part, and not many more than
800 men Of the organization are at pres
ent fit for duty.
On Sunday last 100 men of this regi-
ment responded to the sick call The
men. IN view of the fact, have prepar-
ed a respectful memorial to MacAr-
thur asking that their regiment be
Withdrawn for a short time from the
lighting line in order that they may
recuperate. The memorial states that
the men are willing to, fight, but are
in no condition to do so. owing to the
strain of long marching, continual
ngnting ana outpost duty in which
they have been gagged. 1t is argued
that many of the men have been una
Bile to have their clothing washed for
months past, having been compelled
during all that time to sleep in their
uniforms to be in readiness for fighting.
The memorial adds that since Feb.
the regiment has lost 225 mem in killed
of Malolos. The officers of the detach-
ment propose to present similar me-
mortal on behalf of the men.
The splendid record of the LIST Ne
braska in the entire campaign and the
tone of the memorial prepared by the
men is such that no imputation of in
subordination can be brought against
them. Officers of the regiment said to
the correspondent Of the associated
press here to-day that they thought
that the men had been worked beyond
endurance and should be given rest
and some of the regulars who are now
guarding the city be sent to the front.
Five volunteer regiments and the
Utah battery of artillery are at San
Fernando. They muster in all about
$500 men. Many of the soldiers are in
the hospital suffering from heat or
other causes The wounded are all suf-
fering acutely and showed effects of
exposure to the sun when they ar
rived.
Three days rest has already worked
wonders. Since the army entered Ma
lolos the soldiers have had little water
to drink, except that brought on rail-
way trains from Manila, and that was
of poor quality. The artesian wells at
San Fernando are doing much toward
making the men contented.

COMING TO NEW YORK.
Admiral Dewey Will Arrive About July
Fourth,

Washington, May 12.-"Send Olym-
pia's mail to B. f. Stevens. No.. 4,
Trafalgar square, London, England"
was a notice given out at the navy
department to-day. This is the first
formal indication that the famous flag
ship is coming home Immediately.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that
Secretary Long had last evening cabled
Admiral Dewey permission to return al
once to the United States. He has been
relieved of the obligation Of remaining
at Manila until the Philippine commits
sion completes it's work. He is not
even required to await the cessation of
hostilties, but may start homeward at
once.
The notice posted at the navy depart
ment means that the Olympia will not
remain long enough to receive the next
outward mail The Mr.. Stevens re-
ferred to is the navy departments
agent at London to distribute all of the
mail for the United States warships in
European waters, SO he will see to it
that the Olympia receives hers as soon
as she passes the Suez canal.
1t is evident at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for national demon
straton on the Fourth of July.
The Olympia will not come under full
steam, but nevertheless she should
make the run to New York IN about
55 days. That she is to come to New
York is nearly certain as shown by
the following response made by Score
tary Long to an urgent message of in
vitation to Dewey from Mayor Van
Wyck of New York. 1t may be stated
that this was sent before the notice
was sent to Dewey that he might come
home at once.
Navy Department. Washington, May
11.-Sir: I am in receipt of your tele-
grom with regard to the return of Ad-
miral Dewey and expressing a desire
that he arrive first in the country at
New York The time Of his return has
not been fixed and the department
takes no other action than to authorize
his return whenever the condition of
the peace commission shall permit. AS
to the route he shall take in returning,
the department is inclined to leave that
to him. He has served with great abil-
ity and must necessarily feel so much
the effect of his arduous labors in a
trying climate and under trying cir
cumstances that the department is dis
posed to let him govern himself in this
| respect largely by the consideration of
his own personal convenience and
wishes 1t is understood, however
Admiral Dewey will elect to return tC
| New York. Very respectfully,
JOHN D. LONG, Secretary.
Hon. Robert Van Wyck, Mayor
New York.

NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
A Manifesto Issued Declaring the Free
dom of Syria.

A Manifesto Issued Declaring the Free
dom of Syria.
Washington, May 1.-THE manifesto
declaring the Independence of Syria is
sued yesterday in New York by the
Young Syria junta is not taken seri-
ously in official quarters here, except
as an evidence of the unrest which has
prevailed among Turkish subjects liv-
ing abroad, including the Syrians, Ar
menians and the Turks themselves,
who conduct a revolutionary organiZa-
ton known as Young Turks.
The reports from United States off,
GERS in Syria and of United States Min
lister Straus at Constantinople have
shown no recent uprising or discon-
tent in Syria.
The Turkish minister, Ali Ferroup
Bey, said to-day the manifesto was
entirely without Importance and did
not represent a sentiment prevailing
among the Syrians in this country or
at home Only recently the minister
was given handsome reception in New
York by the resident Syrians, during
which the most cordial manifesto tons
We're shown him, and this is said to
be the sentiment among the serious
and responsible element of this people
The only opposition element, the min
lister points out, is made up of a few
interested in publishing Arabic papers
in New York and other parts of the
country but these, he says, in no way
voice the sentiments of the Syrians.

MANY Worllmen Buried.

Shamokin. Pa, May 12.--Four men were
instantly killed to-day by a slide of a por-
ton of a large culm bank at Centralia.
Five others are missing and are probably
dead. Several were badly injured. The
four bodies recovered were so badly dis
figured that 1t was difficult to identify
them. The accident occurred while a
large number of Hungarians were screen
ing coal in the Centraiia breaker. The
big bank of coal refuse, which lowered
high above was seen to culver and then
collapsed, completely burying the work
men. A rescuing force Immediately start
ed to work and succeeded in recovering
four bodies Two Hungarians were found
wedged in between the piles of timber.
They were badly injured

LIKE A TOWN MEET|NG
Comment on the Protest of the
Nebraska Troops.
DEMAND BETTER TERMS
A Majority Of the Filipino Congress
Anxious for Peace Dewey Will
Come Home About the
Fourth of July.

Washington May 12.-No dispatch re-
ceived recently from Manila has been
received with deeper interest at the war
department than that which was sent
by the associated press via Hong Kong
in relation to the Nebraska protest.
War department officials and army Off
Gals did not care to be quoted upon
the subject, but the comment generally
among army officials was that the
troops which had been fighting so long
and continuously are exhausted and
would be really in need of rest. 1t was
explained that the men did not fear
fighting, but constant picket duty and
constant marching no doubt much ex-
hausted them. Some army officers sug
gested that the action of the Nebras-
kans was like a town meeting and that
an army could not be conducted upon
such lines. Comment was made to the
effect that the dispatches indicated
various regiments were on duty con-
stantly and that there was no reserve
to relieve them when they reached the
limit of endurance.
1t was stated by an officer in the de-
partment that one reason why it had
been impossible to relieve the volun-
teers with the regulars now at Manila
was because the regulars recently sent
to the Philippines were at least two
thirds recruits and were necessarily
unframed and lacked the discipline of
the volunteers, who are now veterans.
1t is believed General Otis does not
care to risk the hard fighting to un-
tried men and that he desires the vol
unteers to remain at the front because
he is sure of them in any emergency.

No Bullet Found.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 12.-Private Teafault of l.
company. who has returned nome from
Manila on sick leave, has been honorably
discharged. An examination of his right
leg by an X-ray machine for the sup
posed Mauser bullet developed that there
is no bullet in the bone, as feared. He
was suffering from the excessive heat at
the time he was sent back to San Fran
cisco, and when his leg began to hurt
him he feared that he had been shot with
a Mauser. as in the excitement of charge
al Caloocan he felt burning sensation
in the leg which now troubles him.

UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Argument on the Application of Mrs
Craven in Fair Will Case


San Francisco, May 12-Arsument
was resumed before Superior Judge
Trout to-day on the application of Mrs
Nettie r. Craven to intervene in the
contest to the will of James G. Fair,
which was filed by Charles L. Fair a
son OF the defendant. Attorney Garrett
McEnenery argued that Mrs. Craven
had failed to assert her claim as the al
legged wife of ex-senator Fair within
the time required by law. He was
followed on the same line by Attorney
c. G. Heggerty, representing Charles
l., Fair Attorney benson argued for
Mrs. Craven that when the will was
produced for probate his client was not
cited as party in interest and that
because she did not appear the stat
ute of limitations did not run against
her; that now, as the validity of the
will is being questioned she has the le-
gal right to come into court.
The matter was taken under advise
ment and the application of Mrs Cra-
ven for a family allowance from the
Fair estate was postponed for two
weeks

Dewey's Health Forces Him to Decline
Many Invitations.

Chicago, May 12-Judging from ca
blegram received to-day from Admiral
Dewey, his health, despite medical as
surance to the contrary, is none of the
best, and to this fact is due his prob
able return by way of the Suez canal
instead of the Pacific coast route. The
message is as follows:

Chicago: Many thanks: Impossible to
accept invitation now. Condition of
health necesstates rest and quiet.

sent by the association asking the ad
miral to become it's guest upon his re-
turn to this country and strongly urg
ing on him the ACCESSIBILITY of coming

Will Please Washington.

Washington, May 12.--Due notice has
been taken by the officials here of the
semi official declaration from London re-
speeding the chances for the conclusion
of treaty that will settle all of the
questions at issue between the United
States and Canada. All that can be said
is that the administration will be ex-
tremely gratified if Sir Julian Pauncefote
returns to- the United States with instruc
tons which will meet the difficulties
which batfied the first commission, for.
as matters stand it is realized that moth
ing can be expected to result from furth-
er meetings of the commission.
The statement that negotiations are to
be deferred until the return of Sir Julian
Pauncefote to Washington is significant.
1t confirms fully the original statement
that the commission cannot meet until
August next, but the ambassadors return
to this country was set for autumn.
