MELLlZA ELECTED.
Said to BE FavorabIy Disposed Toward
the Americans.


Manila. Jan. 29.-According to dis
patch received from Ilolo, capital of
the Island of ~Panay. at the election
held on January H. Senior Ramon Mel
liza was chosen president of the so-ca,l-
ed Viscayan federation for a term Of
two years, his predecessor General Lo-
pez, being appointed commander-in-
chief of the forces of the revolutionary
government. Senor Mellza is kindly
disposed to Americans, and it is hoped
that the difficulty between the natives
and the United States authorities will
be settled amicably.
Business was being resumed there
when the dispatch in question left, and
sugar was entering from the island of
Negros. Ships We're loading hemp. The
sugar crop is far below the average
and shows an estimated deficiency Of
about 5000 tons. Although matured,
the crop was not being harvested, Cw-
ing to the lack of labor, but with the
subsistence of the excitement the local
authorities were persuading the natives
to return to the province.
Six native commissioners. headed by
Senor Ramon Avancena, arrived to-day
from Iloilo by the United States trans
port st. Paul. They have come to CT n
suit with Aguinaldo. A number of ma
tive soldiers, who had been transported
were landed on January 25 on the ISL
and of Panay. about 25 miles north of

being made into the cause of the death
of William NagengaSt aged II, which oc-
Cured on Friday. The lad was vacci-
mated at a free dispensary on Jan. 4. On
Thursday he called to see the physicians.
His arm was terribly swollen. That night
he was attacked with symptoms of te-
tanus. or lockjaw, and died the next
morning in terrible agony. Three physi-
clans attended him at the last, but could
do nothing for him. The doctor who vac
cinated him said he used pure lympth
and applied antiseptic treatment but
when the boy came to see him on Thurs
day his arm was very filthy.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Big Timber, Jan. 29.-When the news
of Clark's election to the United States
senate reached here there was consid-
erable surprise at the number of votes
he received. The republicans were un-
easy lest Beasley had voted for Clark
and a message of inquiry was at once
dispatched to Helena. In the meantime,
bets were freely offered by those who
are well acquainted with Beasley that
he had proved traitor to his trust. When
the report came that Beasley was
among the republicans who voted for
Clark, the men who had moved heav-
en- and earth to elect him seemed stun
ned. Then their feelings began to find
vent in curses long, loud and deep.
Beasley's gray hairs might have saved
him from personal violence had he been
here, but they would not have saved
him from as hot a roasting as man ever
received An hour after the news
reached here Beasley was hanging in
eftigy from rope stretched from the
top of Kelloggs store across the main
street to Busha & Bailey's. The eftigy
was placarded from hotel to hotel with
'Beasley, the brbe- taker" ''Beaslay
the traitor to Sweetgrass county," and
other legends of similar import. To-
morrow it is proposed to burn the eff
gy as a further mark of the detestation
in which Beasley is now held by the re-
publicans of this county. Predictions
are freely made that Beasiey will not
dare return to Big Timber.

GOSSIP IN HELENA.
Helena Clarkites Are Bitter Against Gov
D.a ernor Smith.

eTnOT SlnltH.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, Jan. s9.--It was not until
about 1 o'clock Sunday morning that
the celebration over w. A. Clarks cleo
tion took the form of ''revelry by
night" At the clubs there was plenty
of that sort of thing, and if every Clark
heeler in town did not get good and
drunk it was not through any lack of
opportunity The break of the II re-
publicans is still the uppermost topic
of conversation. Now that it is all over
the better element of republicans in
Helena is deploring the wholesale de-
livery to Clark.
1t required unlimited courage for any
Helena man to take stand against
Clark. When Governor Smith came out
against the Butte millionaire as he did,
he was-and he is yet-threatened with
social, professional and political ostra-
cism. Bitter indeed were some of his
critics, but the governor knew that he
was right and that the other fellows
We're wrong, and he could always worst
them in the argument. @@9
Don't you believe" said the COVER
nor to a certain Clark state senator at
the Helena hotel one night, don't you
believe in the bottom of your heart that
Clark is buying votes?"
II haven't any doubt about it," re-
piled the senator, but what of it if he
is?"
The answer illustrates the attitude of
the generality of Helena people. They
all know that Clark resorted to bribery
in their private conversation they make
no attempt to deny it. On the contrary
they admit it and indorse it. They say
that Clark did exactly right-that if in
making his election certain he Incl
dentally made many poor men compar-
atively rich, SO much the more praise is
he entitled to. He killed two birds with
one stone He could afford the money.
He got elected and he set a lot of men
on their feet permanently. Ergo, bully
for Clark!'
That is the kind Of reasoning you hear
on every street corner of Helena But
how everybody does unite in taking a
shy at those IL republicans.
The Clark people now having, with
the aid of the Clark republicans, ma
jority in both houses are talking of
quashng the bribery investigating COM
mittee at the earliest possible moment
and appointing a whitewashing COM
mittee in its stead.

PERISHED IN THE FIRE.
Frightful Fate of an Old and Crippled
Porter.


San Francisco, Jan. 29.-The San
Bruno hotel, an old landmark on the
San Bruno road, southwest of the city,
was burned to-day, and Matthias Eich-
orn, porter of the hotel, perished in the
flames. In his efforts to escape a SINH
lar fate, j. K. Ansauer, lodger leaped
from a third-story window and was
severely. though not fatally, hurt. The
hotel was a three-story frame building,
managed by Joseph Steiner. The fire
started in a second-story bedroom oc-
cupied by the children of the proprie-
tor. After the flames We're discovered
the fire gained headway with almost
incredible rapidity In very few min
utes the building was almost impossible
of entrance or exit. Despite the appar-
ent futility of the task, little Theodore
Steiner, the S-year-olq son of the hotel
keeper, clambered into the burning
building, the walls of which were even
then apparently tottering, and when he
had been given up for lost emerged in
safety, triumphantly carrying a baby
II months old whom he had rescued
from certain death.
Unfortunately no one thought of
Eichorn, the porter who was old, deaf
and a cripple. His deafness prevented
his hearing the alarm given at the dis
covery of the fire and his lameness made
it impossible to climb down. as young
er man might have escaped. When the
old man was missed it was too late to
attempt to rescue him, even We're that
practicable. The old porter's charred
remains were subsequently found in the
ruins of the building.
The hotel was of little value and
$1,000 will probably cover the property
loss

AN ALLIANCE.
The Term Used by a Member of the Britt
ish Governments.


London. Jan. 29.-Right Honorable Wal
ter Hume Long. president of the board of
agriculture. yesterday used the word al
lance in reference to the future rela-
tions between Great Britain and the
United States. The frank employment of
this term by a member of the government
evokes much discussion. not all of which
Is of the friendliest character. inasmuch
as seeking an alliance to fight England S
battles is not regarded as the best policy
to promote an Anglo-American entente.
Mr.. Long, who had been discussing the
proposals to establish national granaries,
said that after. all, and as a last re-
sort, Englands safety depends upon hav-
ing as,strong navy. to meet any possible
combiA "a tions the nations could bring
against her He proceeded as follows.
II am glad of our improved relations
with our American cousins, because l be-
lieve the true meaning of that increased
friendlness is that the Americans have
realized our blood relationship and have
firmly resolved that if Great Britain is
called to face difficulties she shall not
face them alone. but in alliance with her
wealthy and vastly populous sister coun-
try, the Republic of the United States.
I am confident, seeing that the two coun-
tries are pursuing the same policy and
have the same ends in view, that they
must be friends, firm and true to one an
Other,'

tors, and the house by Speaker Stiff,
one of the democrats who stood truly
ana hrmly by his promises made before
and after election and who refused
proffered bribes, and by Representative
Mclaughlin, who violated the promise
that he had made. There was a mark
ed difference in the manner in which
these men were received here to-day.
On the depot platform was crowd of
republicans and some democrats, Who
pressed eagerly forward to grasp the
hand of Senator Worden and to express
appreciation of the proud position that
he occupies by reason of his firm stand
Poor Senator Mitchell had no such well
come. He hurried down town, where
he had some other matters to attend to-
and the acquafntances he did meet had
naught but words of reproach for him
Missoula democrats are proud Of
Speaker Stiff. His election to the speak
ership was an honor to be appreciated
by all citizens of this county, regard
less of politics, and his position since
his election has voiced the sentiments
OF the democrats of this county He
has received many compliments upon
his speeches of last week
Representative Mclaughlin, who de-
serted his friends to vote for Clark, is
the great surprise of the legislature as
far as this county is concerned and he
has few supporters here. The influence
that accomplished his change of heart
is we'll known here. The unreasona oily
large prices paid to him for property
in this city and at Nine Mile are CT
fered in explanation of his vote, the
deeds for which were prepared shortly
after the election.
The election of Clark yesterday has
stirred up few local supporters of Mr..
Mclaughlin, but there is no genuine
sentiment here in favor of his position.
He is pitied by all who know what he
has done
