PROF. LEAMY APRON TED
Assistant City Clerk by Mayor
Mccarthy.
ALDERMEN ARE KICKING
There Is Little Murmuring Among
Some Relative to the Committee
Allotments - President McKtn-
leys Visit to Butte.

The mayor yesterday appointed Prof.
P. A. Leamy to the position of assist
ant city clerk. Mr.. Leamy is principal
of the Broadway school and it is I'M
derstood that he will not assume his
duties until after the school season is
over. Whether Mr.. Leamy will only
take the position during the summer
vacation and then will assume his
school duties is not known. He has
been re-apponted to his old position
with the schools for the ensuing year,
but it is understood that the city clerk
ship is worth a little more from
financial point of view than the princi-
palship, and it may be therefore that
Mr.. Leamy will leave the schools per-
manently. He filed his bonds yester-
day with E. o. Dugan and Henry Muel-
Ter as sureties. D. j. Sullivan, the
former city clerk, who has been filling
the position while Mr.. Callan was being
initiated into his duties as city clerk,
yesterday transferred his quarters to
the court house, having accepted po-
sition with City Treasurer j. G. Hol-
land as his assistant.
tie murmuring among a few of the al
dermen yesterday over the mayors al
lotments to the respective standing
committees. Most of the aldermen,
however, were well satisfied, and it is
believed that on the whole good judg-
ment was shown in the selections Tor
the various committees By the may
or's allotment, Aldermen Kelly and
Medin are given little more
work to do than any of the
rest, each of those aldermen hav-
ing to serve on eight committees. AL
dermen Ferns and Smith are each rep
resented on seven committees. Alder
man Macarthur is on six committees,
Aldermen Page and Elderkin are on
five each, Alderman Kroger serves on
four, Aldermen Bryant, Siebenaler
Moves and Virtue on two each and AL
dermen Archambault, Bausman, Britt
and Knowlton on one each. AS to
chairmanships, Alderman Macarthur
has most of the work, having been ap-
tees. Aldermen Ferns and Kelly are
each chairman of two committees and
Aldermen Kroger, Elderkin and Medtn
each have one committee in their
charge.

PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY.
Filed in the United States Court by Ben
T., Harris,


Ben E. Harris, through his attorney,
Charles Leonard, filed a petition in
bankruptcy in the United States court
yesterday. In his petition he recites
that all his books We're burned in a
fire at Great Falls on April Q, 1897, and
for this reason he is unable to state
what his liza bilities are. The schedule
of Indebtedness gives list of about 40
creditors, mostly Eastern mercantile
houses, with whom debts We're con-
tracted all the way from 1880 to 1894,
but owing to the loss of the petitioners
books all the amounts are unknown.
The schedule of property contains but
one item, a $25 gold watch, which is
held to be exempt. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Harris action in seeking the ben
eiits of the bankruptcy act is personal
and does not affect in any manner the

Powers Cannot Agree.

Washington Jan. 19.-It has been real
lied for a long time past that there was
need of modification of the terms of the
tripartite treaty by which we assumed
joint guardianship of Samoa with Eng
land and Germany, but up to this point it
has not been possible to get the three
powers to agree upon any one project.
Negotiations have been on foot in rela-
ton to the succession to the Samoan
throne and it is calculated to lead to i'll
feeling, at least, that German officers
should resort to coup d'etat at this stage
of the negotiations. 1t is believed much
OF the responsibility for this arbitrary ac-
ton must rest upon Raffell, the German
president of the municipal council at
Apia, whose troublesome attitude of late
has led to remonstrance on the part of
the other powers.
The United States, Great Britain and
Germany, it is believed, could easily
reach a satisfactory solution of the crisis
in Samoa if they could deal with the SUBJ
ject themselves in the usual course, but
there is some fear of ill-consdered action
on the part of some of the agents of these
governments in Samoa before they can re-
ceive instructions from their governments
The interests of the United States are in
the hands of Lloyd w. Osborne, in whose
discretion the state department reposes
great confidence.

FINAL REPORT IS MADE.
By the Cuban Evacuation Com
mission.
THE PRESIDENT PLEASED
Members OF the Commission Congratu-
lated Upon Their Work-The Report
VIII Be Sent to Congress- Be-
fore Being Made Public.

| Washington, Jan. 19.-The Cuban
evacuation commission at noon to-day
made its formal call on Secretary OF
State Hay and submitted to him the
original report of it's procedure. Secre-
tary Hay, responding in a brief ad-
dress, stated that he was surprised at
the rapidity with which the work of the
commission, was accomplished; that
the work was phenomenally perfect and
reflected great credit on the members
of the commission for the businesslike
way and smoothness with which it was
effected. He took occasion to say that
the administration was highly pleased
with the results. The commission then
repaired to the war department and
submitted to Secretary Alger a dupli-
cate of the proceedings, accompanied
with valuable Spanish military maps
of the island of Cuba. Secretary Afger,
in his speechs said:
Speaking on behalf of the president
and myself, have great pleasure in
congratulating you, gentlemen of the
commission, for the admirable and
speedy manner in which you accom-
plished the evacuation of Cuba. I had
anticipated when you went to Cuba
that you would meet with the greatest
of difficulties, not only from the Span
ish, but also from the Cubans. Now,
on looking over your work, l must con-
graduate you on the excellent tact and
skill with which you treated all parties.
Not only the president, but the whole
country, recognizes and appreciates
your grand work and will ever CRATE
fully remember your services. Again +
thank you"
At 1890 o'clock the commission, in a
body, were received by the president.
After an informal chat General Wade
submitted to the president their formal
report The president said:
Gentlemen, must thank you for the
great service you have rendered your
country. I am more than pleased with
this work.
For the present the report is not to
be made public. The PRONUNCIATION of
the report is left to the discretion of the
president and the department, who will
send it to congress probably, and then
it will be given to the press.

A LURKING DANGER.
Germany Expects Trouble From the

Germany Expects Trouble From the
United States and England.
Berlin, Jan. 19.-The news from Sa-
moa has been received with forebod-
ing. The Lokal Anzeiger says
All this doubtless signifies an ap-
preciable quarrel and with the uncer-
nlonfous course which the Americans
have affected lately toward us. it may
easily take serious turn. The Samoa
condominion has always involved a
lurking danger"
The Vossische Zeitung says 1.-THE
situation will become even graver when
the American warship arrives at Apia
1t is said that the Washington depart
ment of state has instructed the United
States consul general there, L. w. Os-
borne, not to trust the German consul.
Evidently, the United States, who are
least interested in Samoa among the
three powers, do rot mean to respect
Germany's paramount interests. Ger
many will have to show firmness all
the more so as our position is made
the worse by the evident desire of Eng
land to help the United States, so as to
retain the latter's friendship"

AN insult TO AMERICA
Continued from Page one,


can marines assembled on the square:
Il am the supreme court! I am chief
justice!"
The crowd replied with jeers and the
British consul demanded the keys of the
building, which were refused.
A Scotchman named Mackie there
upon climbed on top of the building and
hoisted the Samoan flag, while the Brit
ish and American consuls and a num-
Der of marines invaded the building,
forced the doors open and pushed the
German consul into the street. Then
the two consuls formally and legally,
according to the dispatch, opened court
and issued warning against any fur
ther interference with it's Jurisdiction,
threatening to arrest and imprison any
one attempting to do so.
Matters the dispatch concluded, are
now quiet and the German consul re-
mains in his consulate.

Bulla Gained Four Votes in the Califor-
mia Contest.

bulla Galned Four Votes In the CalifOr-
mia Contest.
Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 19-The first
break in the senatorial deadlock was
made on the 22d ballot, when Bulla
gained four votes and Barnes one. The
forces of Grant and Burns stand firmly
by their respective candidates, the
gains that went to Bulla and Barnes
coming from the lesser lights of the
senatorial contest. The 22d and 23d bal
lots were as follows: Grant. 81; Burns,
25; Bulla, 10; Barnes, IL: Scott, 2: Bard,
2: Estee, 1: FELTON,, 1; Resented, 1; S.
M. White, 81.
The committee a~~ointed to investi-
gate the senatorial scandals met again
to-day. The first witness to be called
was u. S. Grant, but he was not in
the room. L. Fl. Brown denied that he
had tried to intimidate legislators who
had refused to vote for Burns He had
discussed the senatorial situation with
Messrs. Raw, Raub and Mcdonald of
the assembly. but had made no offort
to intimidate them. Brown was ex-
cused and Hugh Burke of the San
Francisco Call took the stand. Burke
stated that he had had an interview
with Milton ]. Green, in which Green
had told him that money had been
given to Speaker Wright to aid in his
campaign. Wright, the witness said.
had threatened witness to expel the
representatives of the Call from the
floor of the assembly unless the Villifi-
cation of the Call ceased.

Jail Of seven men who have been con-
fined without trial since 1891 for the
alleged robbery from safe of funds
belonging to the navy paymaster for

alleged robbery was a plot upon the
part of Spanish officials to cover up
their delinquencies and to obtain
scapegoats for the Spanish paymaster
at San Juan. who, it is further as
serted was probably a.party to the
dishonesty in appropriating the funds.
The board of pardons has examined
many other prisoners and has recon-
mended to General Brooke the release

pure gold, passed for 20 pence, and was
called a gold penny. The next current
