TEE FUNERAL SERVICES.

Some men have to die before it is
ascertained how many friends they
have. Some live and die without having
any, Some live thinking they have
some, only to find out when too late
that they have lived in error. Still
others, without deserving friends in life
or death, always have large numbers OF
them, and go through the world without
Knowing the bitterness of ingrattude,
the stings of defeat or the humilia-
tion of betrayal by those they trust.
OF Marcus DAILY it may be said he had
friends in abundance ever since he be-
came an important factor in the world
of business and politics, and that they
are loyal to his memory was abundantly
attested today when the memorial SER
vices held in this city at the Catholic
church drew many thousands OF worthy
people to pay their respects to his char
acter The business men closed their
stores, some of the mining companies
allowed their employees to attend the
services, and the citizens generally felt
that one who had been their friend and
benefactor was being laid to rest. Be it
said to the credit of our people, that
with the death of Marcus Daily every
yestige of resentment entertained by
those who had felt his power on the
Battlefield of politics or in the conten-
tions Of business disappeared. No un-
worthy sentiment was entertained or ex-
pressed today. In the presence of death,
only that which was noble and brave
and generous in Marcus Daily was re-
unembered, and the entire community
Joined in the hope that in the other world
he may find the rest and peace which
good deeds always insure.

sembly. also approved it, and Manager
Wood of the Hennesssy company said
that the agreement reached was entirely
satisfactory to the company and that on
Friday and thereafter the store would
close it's doors in the evening at o'clock.
Justin Butler in speaking Of the matter
today said:
The members Of the Clerks union
feel that organized labor and the public
generally, are to be congratulated on the
satisfactory settlement Of all difficulties
heretofore existing between the Clerks
union and the Hennessy Mercantile COM
pany. This settlement. effected through
the good offices of the Miners union,
positively assures the success of the
early or o'clock closing of stores, and
know voice the sentiment of our union
when I say that it is our wish that as
wide publicity be now given to the fact
that the Hennessy Mercantile company
| is now fair house according to our
| ideas, as was given to the fact that we
| felt they hitherto We're not.
'.The campaign on the part OF the union
has been vigorous and while unpleasant
features crept into the fight, our organi-
| zation deplores them and now gladly
welcomes the satisfactory settlement Of
| a contest on the successful issues Of
| which they felt that much good to them
selves and to their families was to be
| derived. Personally, I can say I have
| fe.f that the members of the Hennessy
| Mercantile company were consistent in
the position which they took and their
statement that they would abide by the
vote of the Miners union, has been de-
monstrated. AS a member of the union
| acting upon committees, the duties of
| which particularly on a proposition OF
| this kind, are more or less unpleasant,
have been received by Mr.. Hennessy and
| Mr.. Wood with the greatest courtesy and
| fairness. feel that the merchants of the
| city are to be congratulated on the set
tlement of this trouble and it is to them
that the thanks Of our organization is
extended for standing by us in oul
trouble. feel satisfied that the era OF
| good feeling as far as our organization is
concerned, is now at hand, and feel con-
fident that our future troubles will b,
small Ones"

NEEDS OF ALASKA.

Alaska, as permanent place of resi-
dence, has never been thought of until
the last few years. The new civil code
in effect there is in need ofan amendment
providing fGr educational interests out
side of Incorporated towns. The marvel
Gus growth and settlement of communi-
ties in Alaska find no parallel in the
history of the country. but the terri
tory remained dormant so long that con-
sress had difficulty in pllrsuaGing itself
that a civil code was needed for the gov
ernment of the people, even after the
great gold discoveries on the Yukon and
on the klondi>e. The Carter bill, which
provided the country With civil code,
was not taken up and made a law until
the closing days of the last session. and
probably would not have ocen passed at
that time had it no. been for the pressure
arising from the discovery OF gold at
Cape Nome and the great rush of the
people to that point.
The federal bureau of education.
through the resident commissioner. has
been Obliged to provide school facilities
for the unincorpolated towns along the
Yukon, and, according to his report, the
bureau has been maintaining 25 public
schools during the past year; employ
ing 20 teachers for the instruction of
1,723 pupils whose education would other
wise have been neglected.
In the Yukon country every year sees
a material increase in the population and
congress will, as soon as it meets, be
calfed upon to amend the code so as to
provide means out of the territorial rev.
enues for adequate school facilities for
those living outside of the incorporated
cities. In that region there has been a
large influx of miners. Towns and cities
have sprung ZIP in few years. These

entered Marking as-vdcter, and remained
there for the remainder of his career.
He gave himself up to every kind of de-
bauchery, and exhibited a gross cruelty
that was only too successfully initiated
by his followers. Probably the only par
allel that history can furnish to the thor
oughness of the misery caused by this
rebellion, can be found in the atrocities
of the thirty years war in Germany at
the close of the middle ages.
The action of the Chinese government
against the rebels was sluggish in the
extreme After 1858 the rebellion lost
ground more by the loss Of its own
energy than by the vigor of its oppo-
nents, and might have collapsed in nine,
or ten years had not the attack on China
by the British in 1860 given it new oppor-
tunities and new impulse. At this
time the needs of the Europeans gave
them an interest in the suppression of
the Tai Ping armies. and at the suggeS-
tion of Ii Hung Chang a force was re-
cruited from the desperadoes and placed
THE career of this leader has been partly
obscured by history. He is spoken of as
an American named Ward. But he
worked under exceptional disadvantages,
achieved some important successes and
pointed out the way in which Chinese
Gordon marched to victory and fame.
Wards army was composed of poor
materials for aggressive operations. 1t
was small in numbers and hard to con-
troll. Yet, inspired by it's leader, it
showed high degree Of courage. and
though vastly inferior to the rebel forces,
was soon called the fever victorious
army After Wards death, the com
mand devolyed upon another American,
Burgeyine, who seems to have accom-
plished nothing, and he was succeeded
by Holland, a British marine officer, who
suffered a bad defeat in February, 1863.
The rebellion had now lasted over
twelve years, and while it's vigor had
been shaken, the Chinese showed no ap-
! parent capability of crushing it. At the
request of Ii Hung Chang, viceroy Of
the Canton district, the British COM
mander-in-chief authorized Col. Charles
George Gordon to accept the command.
His force was composed Of 5000 or 1000
Chinese and $50 Europeans Of divers ma
N t-onalities, and generally of questionable
character. Moreover, his relations with
Ii Hung Chang were often interrupted

A GREAT CHINESE REBELLION

Important information growing out OF
the upheaval in China is daily revealed
and giving truar idea ofthat interesting
and mysterious country. The knowledge
now being acquired makes even more
conspicuous our real misunderstanding.
The name of China has been by-word.
1t was regarded as a nation without
practical intelligence with a monotonous
history of peace and slothfulness. Bonds
of authority are not strong in China.
Railroads are few, and roads are motor
iously bad. The central government
looks for a certain amount of revenue
from each province, and does not trouble
itself much about the administration of
it's viceroys. Small rebellions are COM
paratively common. The national gov
| ernment concerns itself little about them,
but still looks to the viceroys for the
regular amount of tribute.
In the middle of the century occurred
a rebellion of serious extent and which
continued for a period that seems in
credible. The leader was the son of a
peasant and his real name was Hung
| Siu-Tseuen, though he afterwards as
sumed the title of Tien Wang (Heavenly
| King.
| Hung Siu-Yseuen seems at first to have
been a sincere religious fanatic, who had
been somewhat influenced by the mis-
sionares that he had heard, and by a
book of sermons based on portions of the
New Testament. Yet his religious faith
had little similarity to Christianity, but
was rather crude form of the ISM. which
manifested itself in a crusade against
idols and in the minds of Hung Stu
Tseuen, this soon demanded the destruc-
ton of nearly everything else in the ma
ture of life or property that could be
reached.
The rebellion began in 1850 and at one
time extended over hundreds OF thous
ands of miles in the richest provinces o.
China. From the outskirts of Cantor

MONTANA's NEXT SENATORS.

There is no merit in the claim which |
certain politicians are making on behalf
of Helena's right to name the short term
senator when the legislature shall be
ready to distribute the rewards of DEM
ocratic victory. What is called the East
Side was given the nomination for gov
ernor and for congressman. Those offices
alone are admost equal in Importance to
two sena torships. The East Side also
secured the one associate judgeship, the
attorney generalship the office of super
intendent of public instruction and sew
eral other corpulent official plums Be-
sides, Helena will nave the legislature
itself and most of the committee clerk
ships, and will have the benefit of what
ever money may be expended by the
members from their salaries during a
sixty days session. The West Side
asked for little and got less. It has the
lieutenant governorship, the state treas
nrership, and win have one senator to
certainty Mr.. Clark, however, while he
lives on the West Side, will not be dis
tinctively a West Side senator. His
cause and his personality We're a state
issue, and with the aid of his money
they resulted in a success Which would
never have occurred without him.
Right or wrong he won the fight, and to
credit him to a section, instead of to the
unfair thing to do. Thus in one sense
there would be no improperly in the Sc
lection of another West Side democrat
as colleague for Mr.. Clark.

THE CONTROVERSY HAS
been AMICABLY SETTLED

The controversy between the Clerks
union and the Hennessy Mercantile
company has been finally and amicably
settled and commencing tomorrow night
the big store will close it's doors ut
o'clock.
The committee appointed by the
Miners union Tuesday night held a con-
ference with e. N. Wood. manager of
the store and with representatives from
the Clerks union last night, and the re-
suit was that Mr.. Wood agreed to close
the store at O'Clock in conformity with
the resolution passed by the Trades and
Labor council which provides that all the
clerks employed by the store be rein
stated into the union without fines or
pl ejudice and that all boycotts on the
store be removed. After the conference
the following statement was drawn up
by the committee from the Miners
Crion:
"To the general public: We, the COM
u,!ttee appointed on arbitration by the
Rutte Miners union to arbitrate the
trouble existing between the Butte
Clerks union and the Hennessy Mercan-
tile company, met in conference with
General Manager Wood of the Hennessy
Mercantile company and representatives
of the Butte Clerks Protective union,
No II, the States Trades ani Labor coun-
Gil, and the Silver Bow Trades and La
Dor assembly, and all matters have been
| amicably and harmoniously settled, with
| the understanding that, beginning Fri

hunter, who has been engaged to escort
Vice President-elect Roosevelt on a hunt
for mountain lions next month, passed
through Denver today en- route home
from Colorado Springs where he has
been making arrangements for the pro-
posed hunting trip.

for Governor Roosevelt's hunt and it's
going to be an interesting one,'' said MIR.
Goff Our primary purpose will be to
hunt the mountain lion, but we will run
across and engage a few bears on the
way We win hunt in Coyote basin,
which has been absolutely free from men
with guns this year and there ought to
be plenty of fierce game in that section.
We will remain in the mountains about
three weeks and will take a dozen pack
horses loaded with provisions and sup
plies for that length of time. under
stand Col. Roosevelt has never killed a
lion but from what know of the man
would not insure a lion for two cents
when it chances to obstruct his path
