Are They DeauIocked?

Washington, Feb. 14.-The high joint
commission held session to-day and
adjourned until tomorrow. A rumor
prevailed in congressional circles that
negotiations were practically at an end
and would fail. but this was denied by
Senators Fairbanks and Faulkner, who
are members. 1t was learned, however,
that there are questions upon which no
agreement can now be reached, and
the impression prevails that the COM
missioners found themselves unable to
see a way out of the differences pre-
scented to-day, although it was deter
mined to make further efforts.

GAMER HAS FAILED.
The Shoe Mans Creditors VIII Hold a
Meeting March 1.

| Meeting March 1.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
| Helena. Feb. 14-Frederick Gamer, one
| OF the leading shoe merchants of the
state, who has been in business in Mon
| tana since 1867. and who has fine stores
| in Helena, Butte and Anaconda, surprised
the business community late this after
noon by filing petition in bankruptcy in
the United States court.
| After hearing his petition Judge Knowles
| adjudged him bankrupt and ordered his
| affairs turned over to Referee in Bank
ruptcy Balliett. The creditors will hold
a meeting March !, at which time they
will decide upon trustee to wind up the
estate. Meanwhile the stores in the three
towns will remain closed.
The court appointed d. H. Weston, a
bailiff in the United States court to take
charge of the Helena store pending the
selection of the trustees. John f. Fink,
the manager of the Butte store. will be in
charge of that establishment until March,
and Milton Gamer manager of the Ana
conda store, will perform a similar duty
there.
Mr.. Gamers petition shows that his liza
bilities aggregate 100000 His assets are
placed at $10S,0CO Among the creditors are
Eastern houses Helena bank and Butte
and Anaconda banks. SO far as known
none of the creditors We're pressing Mr..
Gamer, which tended to increase the sur
prise caused by his suspension. He said
that he was losing money and did not
care to continue to borrow any more, al
though he was perfectly ale to do so.
The Butte store is known to have been
prosperous. The Helena store was re-
Gently moved down Main street in better
location, and was believed to have enjoyed
an Increased trade. The Anaconda store,
though recently established, is also I'M
derstood to have enjoyed a good trade.
These reports but add to the general sur
prise the suspension caused.
A few years ago Mr.. Gamer bought
large interest in the Helena Book and
Stationery company a concern in which
Russell Harrison was Interested and
which went to the wall along with the
Journal Publishing company in 1892. 1t Is
claimed that this venture was far from
profitable.
Besides his stores Mr.. Gamer has eX-
tensive ranch interests in this locality.
He has been a liberal contributor to the
Montana Wesleyan university here. That
institution owes MUCH to his faith in its
ultimate success. He has always been
prominently identified with church work.
He stands well in the business community
and has legion of friends in Montana
among the old-timers, who will be sorry
to learn he had to take the step he did
to-day.
An intimate acquaintance informed the
standard reporter tonight that he be-
lieved that under careful management the
property would net the creditors at least
so cents on the dollar, allowing for the
shrinkage that is bound to result.

Senate joint memorial No. 2, relating
to the opening of the Flathead reser-
walton.
Senate bill 81, providing fee for nat
uralization papers.
The only contest was in regard to the
tramp bill. Eversole proposed three
amendments, which would have de-
feated the purpose of the bill, but after
a lengthy discussion each was voted
down. Stephens offered an amendment
which was also defeated. Normoyle Of
fered an amendment which provides
that the trainmen, when acting as Off
GERS. shall receive no fees. This was
agreed to. Wilson began. early in the
consideration of the bill, to urge a mo-
ton to strike out the enacting clause.
The motion was offered three times be-
fore it was declared in order and it
was voted down after a discussion in
which Day, Mats, Bywater Toole and
Stone took the side Of the BILL with
Wilson Paul and Eversole in opposi-
ton. The motion was lost by vote
of % to 81 Then, after the amend
ments had been disposed of, Black
moved that the committee report rec
ommendlng concurrence in the bill.
Gibson offered as a substitute that the
bill be indefinitely postponed. Gibson's
motion was lost by an overwhelming
vote and Blacks motion prevailed with
little dissent. The bill providing a fee
for naturalization papers was amended
by reducing the fee from IS, as in the
bill to $3.50. The county treasurer fee
bill was also amended by reducing the
list of fees. 1t was after o'clock when
the house finally adjourned

W.J.BRYAN ON DEM0CRAcY
Treaty Ratification Clears the

A PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC
The People of the United States Will
Not Go Back to the Creed of Kings
and Gospel of Forcs- Liberty
Enlightening the Orient.

st. Paul, Feb. 14.-Col. w, J. Bryan
was the guest of honor at banquet
given by the Minnesota democratic and
populist politicians at the Ryan hotel
tonight. Over 100 guests sat down at
the banquet at o'clock. Preceding the
banquet a great crowd attended a re-
ception to Mr.. Bryan in the hotel par

lieutenant governor, responded to the
toast Recent Phases of Misgovern-
ment'
Colonel Bryan had been given the
general subject of Democracy" and
his appearance and remarks called
forth hearty applause. In the course
of his speech, Colonel Bryan said:
THE ratification of the peace treaty,
instead of committing the United States
to colonial policy, really clears the
way for the recognition for Philippine
republic. Lincoln, in his first inaugural
message. condensed an unanswerable
argument into brief question when he
asked: Can aliens make treaties easier
than friends can make laws?'
The same argument Is presented in
the question, can the independence of
the F1liplnos be secured more easily by
diplomacy from foreign and hostile
nation than 1t can through laws passed
by congress and Voicing the sentiments
of the American people alone? If indie
pendence is more desirable to our colon
ial policy, why is there or what is there
to prevent the recognition of the Philip
pines independence? 1t is absurd to
say that the United States can be
transferred from a republic into an
empire without consulting the voters.
The imperialists may be willing to
deny to the Filipinos the right to gov
ern themselves, but they cannot deny
to the American people the right to de-
termine the policy to be pursued by the
United States in the settlement of the
Philippine question.
Until the people express themselves
we can only guess their views, but is it
not safer to suppose that they will adj
here to the ideas and policies of a CEN
fury than to assume that they will go
back to the creed of kings and to the
gospel of force?
In commemoration of the fact that
France was our ally in securing indie
pendence, the citizens of that nation
Joined with the citizens of this coun-
try in placing in New York an heroic
statue representing liberty enlighten-
ing the world.
What course shall our nation pur-
sue? Send the statue of liberty back to
France and borrow from England a
statue of William the Conqueror or
shall our nation so act as to enable the
American people to join with the Fill
pinos in placing in the harbor of Ma
Mia second statue of liberty enlight-
ening the Orient?''

THE RACE QUESTION

Raised by Tactless American in Ha-
vana.
Havana. Feb 14--Holman's Washington
cafe, in the Central park, has been order
ed closed by Senior Ferico Mora, civil
governor of Havana, because of the re-
fusal OF the proprietor to serve drinks to
a mulatto, the Cuban general, Ducasse.
Several friends of Ducasse were seated in
the cafe taking refreshments when he
happened to be passing, and they invited
him to join them. Mr.. Holman however,
refused to serve him. AS the existing
Spanish law prohibits race distinctions,
Senior Mora, to whom complaint was
made, consulted Major General Ludlow
military governor of the department of
Havana, as to the action to be taken
General Ludlow told him to enforce the
law, and Senior Mora informed Mr.. Hol-
man that unless he wrote letter of apol-
ogy to Ducasse the cafe would be closed
Mr.. Holman declined to write the letter
and Senior Mora issued the closing order.
Mr.. Holman, who is an American. says
he will reopen, claiming that he is sus-
tanned by the American authorities. 1t
is considered that the controversy will
raise the race question.

PLUG TOBACCO TRUST.
An Attempt to Break 1t Up by the
Missouri Authorities.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. H.-Attorney
General Grow filed suit to-day in the
supreme court to break up plug tobacco
trusts. He instituted quo warranto
proceedings against the Continental
Tobacco company, the J. G. Butler To-
bacco company, the Brown Brothers
Tobacco company, the Drummond To-
bacco company and the Wright Broth
ers Tobacco company, the latter four of
st. Louis. The petition charges COM
bination to control the output and price
of plug tobacco in violation of the state
antitrust law and agains public policy.
1t charges also that in 1890 the Cont
mental company absorbed the other four
companies and had undertaken to keep
them alive as separate companies, but
the Continental company controlled
their output and prices and that one of
them stopped doing business at the di-
rection of the trust, throwing many
people out of employment.

sheridan Nearly Ready.

Washington, Feb. H.-Secretary Alger
has telegraphed the war department from
New York that the transport Sheridan,
which is to take the next military expedi-
ton to Manila, is nearly ready. and that
she should not leave port until "a hours
after the storm abates on account of the
heavy seas. He adds that troops could
not safely go aboard the vessel under ex-
listing conditions.
The 18th infantry and battalion of the
18th infantry are to take passage on the
Sheridan. The troops of the 18th infantry
are at Columbus barracks, Ohio. and will
start East tomorrow morning if the rail-
roads are in operation to New York The
nth infantry is storm bound in the noun
tains of Maryland and West Virginia but
abundantly supplied with provisions and

MORE BLOOD |
Alger Did Not Think Iloilo Gould
Be So Easily Taken.
INSURGENTS LOSS SMALL
Washington Pleased That Foreign In
terests Have Been Protected
and All Complications
Avoided.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Advices from
lloilo were received at the war depart
ment to-day with considerable satisfac-
ton While no approximations had been
felt as to General Miller's ability to
capture the capital of the Vizayan fed
Grafton, or, for that matter, anything
else that he wanted in the archipelago,
the reports of strong entertainments
that the natives had been constructing
around the town led the department to
believe that the landing would be a
bloodier affair than either of the battles
of Manila. 1t was with great satisfac-
ton that Admiral Deweys dispatch
was received saying that we had lost
no men at all and that the insurgent
loss was smaller than at first reported.
The fact that foreign interests at Iloilo
are being satisfactorily guarded is an
other source of qualification to the ad-
ministration. This forestalls criticism
or danger of interference from any of
the foreign powers, which has all along
been a complication that had to be con-
sidered as a possibility, but which it
was intended to avoid at all costs.
What the future will be it is scarcely
saIe TO say. Inc president from the
inception of the Spanish war; has been
earnestly in favor Of the most humane
policy, and it is not intended to follow
the severe check to the Filipinos with
war of subjugation IL the insurgents
will allow this government to avoid it.
They have had stern lesson at Manila
and at Iloilo, and If they are content to
profit by it and come peaceably into
camp they may do SO without fear of
further chastisement. STILL it is recog-
nized that Admiral Dewey and General
Otis have a much better grasp Of the
local situation than is possible here, and
the administration does not purpose to
tie their hands with unnecessary in
StructiOnS.

SENT AN ULTIMATUM.
Details of the Attack on the Town of
IlOilo.


Manila, Feb. IA, 1850 p m.-Particu-
lars of the capture of Iloilo by the
United States forces under Miller on
Saturday have been received here. On
the morning of Friday, Feb. 10. Miller
sent an ultimatum to the commander
of the rebels on shore, notifying him
that it was his intention to take Iloilo
by force if necessary. The non-com
batants and foreigners were warned
to leave the town within "a hours.
The rebels were also warned that they
must make no further beligerent opera
tons.
The gunboat Petrol was then moved
to a position close in shore and near
the rebel fort, while the cruiser Bos-
tor took up her station at the other
end of town.. Friday passed quietly.
During the day many refugees left
town.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of Satur
day, Feb. H. the Petrol signaled to
the Boston that the rebels were work.
ing in their trenches. In return the
Petrol was ordered to fire warning
Founders. This was done, and the reb-
els replied with harmless fusilade.
The Boston and Petrol then bombarded
the rebels trenches, completely clear
ing them of their occupants.
A very short time after the lombard
ment began names broke out sinful
taneousy in various parts Of the town,
whereupon As marines, acting as in
fantry and artillery, were landed from
the cruiser Boston and company was
sent ashore from the gunboat Petrol.
These detachments marched straight
into Iloilo, and, hoisting the stars and
stripes over the fort. toook possession
of the place in the name of the United
States.
The capture of the town and it's de-
lenses having been accomplished, the
marines and soldiers who had been
sent ashore proceeded to the task of
saving the American, English and Ger
man consulates from destruction by
fire, which was raging among the frail
and inf1ammable buildings of the town.
The Swiss consuis residence, which
was in the same row as the consulates
named, was burned.
The entire Chinese and native sec
tons of the town were destroyed, but
foreign mercantile property escaped
with slight damage. There was some
desultory firing by the enemy in the
outskirts of Iloilo, but not single
American was injured.
Milers force had complete. control Of
the situation when the gunboat Petrol
sailed from 1loilo for Manila. The 9Th
artillery regiment occupied a position
commanding both bridges leading
into town, and the Tennessee volun-
teers and the 18th United States in

that had been constructed by the reb-

Gave Otis In formation.

Washington, Feb. 14.-1nquiry at the
war department as to the enigma teal
closing sentence of the dispatch devel-
oped the fact that an error had been
made by Geographic transmission and
that what General Otis really asked as
information as to the bids received by
the department on the 4th instant for
the repatriation of the Spanish troops.
The department at once notified him
of the amount which the government
had undertaken to pay for each officer
and so much of the detail of the con-
tract made with the Spanish steamship
company as was deemed necessary for
his guidance. The company undertakes
to start the last of the prisoners home
for Manila by the 18th of March. This
would enable General Otis to avail him
self of the services of a considerable
number of American troops in the out
side campaign who have hitherto been
detained in Manila by the presence
there of the Spanish prisoners of war.
