WAS SWEPT BY A GALE
Great Falls in the Grip of a
Hurricane.
MONTANA'S WINDY CITY
Every thing Moveable Was Set a Rolling
The Front OF Building Blown
Dcwn-several People
Injured.

Great Falls, Dec. 21.-Probably the
worst wind in the history of the city
prevailed here for about four hours
this afternoon. 1t was as near hur-
ricane as the law allows without NOV
ing away houses. The whole iron front
of the MurphyMcClay hardware store
on Central avenue was torn down and
city set rolling.
For a time Central avenue looked like
a tossing sea, with leaves from the
parks and other debris chasing along
at so mile an hour gait. Several
ladies were blown against buildings and
slightly injured, but none seriously.
One lady was blown down on Third
street and First avenue north and re-
mained until a couple of gentlemen
assisted her into hack which took her
home with badly spralned ankle. The
Great Northern express wagon was
blown over while crossing the First
avenue wagon bridge and narrowly es-
capped going into the river. Up at the
water station Leihr's ice house was
blown over. The southwest corner of
the Bristol on Second street was blown
out and a man just drove out of the
alley in time to miss being buried under
several tons of brick. The top back
wall Of Albrecht's furniture store was
blown down and chimneys innumer-
able were toppled over. Ladies out
shopping were treated very roughly and
compelled to seek shelter. There have
been other winds in Great Falls, but
never one recorded equal to to-day's.

BUTTE NEWS.
READY TO BEGIN WORK
The Smokehouse Deal Has Been
Completed.
PROSPECTING THE LEAD
Tradition Has It That the Load Is the
Richest in Camp-A Force OF Men
Have Already Been Put
to Work.

The important mining deal, men
toned by the Standard last Monday
as being negotiated, by which, it was
stated Alexander Tarbet and Mrs. p.
A. Largey would take over the Smoke
house properties and begin their devel-
opment at once, has been consum-
mated, and yesterday work was started
toward prospecting the famous lead
which has always been supposed to be
the richest or among the richest in the
camp. 1t will soon be known therefore
whether or not the old tradition at
taching to the Smokehouse has been
based on actualities.
By the contamination of the deal
Mr.. Tarbet and Mrs. Largey become
the purchasers Of all the interests of
the Smokehouse company, which was
organized last summer and whose
properties were the Smokehouse, De-
stroying Angel and Copper Bottom
claims. The purchasers take the eE-
tire stock of the Smokehouse company
at 81 share, or 100000 The condi-
tions of the sale were $2500O down,
$4,000 to be paid on March 1, 190O
like amount on Jan. 1, and the balance
on Dec. / following.
AS soon as the deal was completed
arrangements were made for starting
the work of prospecting the Smoke
house claim and a force of men was
put to work yesterday clearing away
some old buildings on the Lavell lot
opposite the McDermott hotel in East
Broadway, where small electric hoist
will be set up and shaft sunk to
prospect the lead. This is within a
few yards of the place where the lead
was uncovered last summer by the
work of excavating for the new Thorn
ton block. 1t is the intention to have
the ore and waste hauled away as fast
as taken out in order that work may
not inconvenience any of the other
property owners in the locality.
The main shaft is to be sunk on
ground already secured for the pur-
pose near the corner of Galena and
Wyoming streets, where it Is the in
tention to erect a big steam hoist.
While no provision has yet been made
for this, it is stated that the work will
go ahead in the immediate future.
Bernard Noon, who represented Mrs.
Largey in the transaction, will have
charge of the properties for Mrs. Lar
gey, and Mr.. Tarbet and the well
known engineer W. w. Wishon, who
is now superintendent Of the Ramsdell-
Parrot and the Speculator mines, will
be the superintendent under Mr.. Noon.
Cy Bell will be the foreman in chief
of the prospecting work on the Smoke
house lode

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Arbitration scheme Probably 10 Fass
Finally To-day.

THE HAGUE, July l9.-The third COM
mittee of the international arbitration
conference met to-day, NJ Bourgeois, OF
the French delegation, presiding. Al tho
opening OF the sitting the Roumtnian,
Grecian, and Servian delegates Jointly
moved the total suppression Of the five
articles relating to international courts
Of inquiry. Cheyalier des Champs. the
Belgian delegates, and Professor Maar-
tens, of the Russian delegation, defended
the articles, which were finally passed on
first reading, the three protecting States
recording their objection.
In the interval between tho meeting OF
the third committee and that of the
Drafting Committee, which was held
later strong efforts were made to effect
compromise as regards the motion for
the suppression Of the fiy0 articles relat-
ing to international courts of inquiry, as
the Roumanian delegates had made GER
tain remarks not palatable TO the dele
gates Of the Powers. At the meeting OF
the Drafting Committee, Professor Maar-
tens said that as everything had been
done to protect the weaker States against
the stronger. the former thus obtaining
shield--the courts of inquiry proving
this--he was willing to make some further
concessions In the way of making the
matter more optional. These concessions
were accepted by the smaller Powers,
and the proposal passed its second read
ing.
The arbitration scheme will probably be
passed entirely tomorrow.

Mr. Chambers Has Not Reported HIS

WASHINGTON. July 19.-Chief-Justiee

VACANCY IN THE CHIEF JUSTICE
SHIP.
The treaty of Berlin prescrlbes The
method Of filing a vacancy In the chlet
justiceship-namely, through the joint
action Of the three treaty Powers, and,
falling an agreement between them, by
direct appointment from the King OF
Sweden and Norway.
1t is suspected that Mr.. Chambers
resignation was not absolute nor imme-
diate-posslbly it was dated TO take eff
feet upon his arrival in the United States.
In which event there would be no vacancy
until that date.
The treaty provides that the president
of the municipal council shall assume the
duties of Chief Justice In the event OF a
vacancy I'm that office, so that the contro-
versy between. DIR. Solf and the members
OF the commission is probably based on
the purely technical point as to when the
