 Washington yesterday of the deten- tion at the barge office in this city by secret service agents of Notabe Mareska and M:ehil Weida, sup posed anarchists, who arrived yes, terday on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. These two men are understood to have come to this country as con spirators whose object was the as sassination of President Mckinley.

They are all charged with being in con. spiracy to assassinate President McKinley, and have been taken singly and in pairs from incoming ocean liners within the last ten days.
 "The United States secret service agents learned that the anarchist circle in Naples had cast lots to see who would he the assassin. Elev- en Italians and three Austrians were selected. Closely followed, they sailed for different ports. Their object was to strike individu. al blows at the president at the same time. That would make sure of success.
 aAs fast as the men arrived se- cret service agents disguised as emigrants went among them and they were arrested. Maresea and Weida, caught yesterday, were two of the fourteen. The conspiracy was made OF night early in Au- gust. By working with the Italian police the secret service agents got wind of great meeting of the cir ele in Naples. The men selected for the work in this country were quickly rotified what they were to do, and separated. going singly of in pairs to different ports in Europe.
 Some went to France, others to Germany, while still others crossed the channel to England.

MR. BYRD'S CANDIDACY
Seemed to Have Been Only Talk
 Last Day to Get on Ticket.

Saturday was the last day candi- dates had to Dat their names on the ticket to be voted on September 3. All the candidates or nominees have paid their respective assess ment and the ticket will be a straight Democratic sheet. For the past several days there has been much speculation on the probability of Mir. P. P. Byrd announcing iade- pendently for sheriff against Maj. H. A. Mccoy, the regular nominee. Up to late hour Saturday be had not requested that his name be paced on the ticket, aud It is not probable that he will enter the race. The Republicans of this county have decided not to put out ticket this year, well knowing the fatal results of such an attempt on their part. The only opposing candidates that are soliciting votes in the Second district at the September election will be H. L. Remmel, who is the Republican nominee for governor against Jeff Davis, ard Postmaster E. H. Vance, who is the Republican nominee for congress against John S. Little.

A FALSE REPORT.
No Workman Was Killed at ths
 Sawyer & Austin Plant Here.

The Commercial reporter was misinformed Saturday when he stated that :'Doc Brown" negro. in the employ of the Sawyer & Aus. tin Lumber Company, had died from the result of injuries received while at work on log train for that con- pany last Monday. The reporter stated that a pair of tongs had fallen on the negro and broken both Of his legs.
 The above report grew out of the death of D. A. Brown. negro em- ployed at the same mill Brown S death was the result oi blood pois- oning. Several days ago Brown slightly bruised his leg but paid very little attention to the wounded member. He remained at work almost up to the time of his death, which occurred Friday night.

Donald, sent up for life from Yellow
stone county for murder in the second
degree for killing Moran in Billings in
1895, the case in which the Clark press
bureau claimed that the would be sena-
tor was a prominent figure, it will have
a formidable protest to meet. This came
to the state board today from County
Attorney johnson of Yellowstone county.
He was not county attorney at the time
of the trial, but was spectator, and be-
came familiar with the case. He says
no reasonable man who followed the
trial could form any other opinion than
that Mcdonald was Justly convicted and
so serving a righteous sentence. He
says that the facts have been grossly
misrepresented to the governor.

STATUS of OsteOpaths as Defined by the
Attorney General.
Attorney General Nolan, in reply to a
question respecting the status of osteo-
paths submitted by E. K. Cheadle, city
attorney of Lewistown, says:
IAN osteopath in practicing his call
ing is liable for the payment of a license.
An osteopath, I believe, is amenable to
the medical law of this state, and could
be prevented from engaging in the prac-
tice of osteopathy unless license was
secured from the medical board. The
fact, however, that such license is
not secured does not relieve the practi-
toner from complying with the pro
visions of the license law"
The attorney general also, writing tc
the same attorney, says that in his opin
ion cities cannot pass valid ordinance
permitting the contiscation of weapons
or other property taken from city prison

tourists have secured the country in the
vicinity of the Fountain hotel since
Tuesday morning, but they have been
unable to discover any trace of the miss
ing man. 1t seems as if the earth had

it is not unlikely that he has stumbled
blindly into one of the many pools or
bottomlcss cauldrons of seething mud
that are so numerous in the midway
geyser basin. Piper was tourist.

Special to the Bee.
Dillon, Aug. 2.-Prof. Sanders was yes
terday deposed as president of the state
normal school at Dillon by the state
board of education, by vote of six to
four. The action was taken yesterday
morning at special meeting of the
board and the vote on the question of
confirming his reelection by the local
board for the school was as follows:
Nays-Governor Robert Smith, Judge
Mcconnell, Attorney General G. B. Nolan,
Judge Melton, J. d. Hendricks and O. F..
Goddard. Ayes-State Superintendent
A. E. Carlton, Prof. j. M. Hamilton, C.
B. Garrett and o. P. Chisholm.
1t was stated by a member of the board
last evening that it was not so much a
question of Prof. Sanders ability or com
potency to fill the position of president
of the normal school as the recognized
necessity of making change for the
good of the school, because of the oppo-
sitiOn to him anC vhe dissension of the
local board.
Helena, Aug. 2.-Governor Smith will
call for the designations of the members
of the local board of the state normal
school. It is understood that the gov
ernor has decided to do this in the light
of the developments at the special meet
ing of the state board of education held
at Dillon. There is said to be friction
in the board and this is assigned as one
of the reasons why President Sanders
could not get along with the board and
it was deemed advisable not to retain
him.

Paris Aug 2.-Mustaf Nasreddin, shah

bullet. 1t had been arranged for him to
visit Sevres and see the national pottery
works, and it was just after he had left
the palace on his way to the Seine to go
on board a yacht placed at his disposal
for the trip, that the attempt upon his
life was made. Only five minutes before
the pistol was placed at his breast he
was the recipient of a letter which
warned him that his life was in danger.
It said: To-day you will meet the same
fate as Humbert." In no wise discon-

officer on guard and gave orders for the

CENSOR RESPONSIBLE.
Horrible Story Of Massacre of Christians
by Imperial Troops. s.-English
Women Murdered.

Special to the Bee.
London, Aug. 2. $40 a. m.-No word
comes this morning regarding the for
tunes of the comparatively small body
of troops believed to be forging their way
toward Pekin. The silence is probably
due to diligent censorship rather than to
any lack of developments.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard says: "A heartrending letter
has been received from the Japanese
legation, dated July %, stating that only
25 cartridges per man are left, with only
sufficient food for five days, and that it
is feared the legation will succumb with
in week." General Gasellee, says this
correspondent, was strongly opposed to
an advance but he was overruled by the
other commanders and influenced by
Washington's orders to General Chaffee,
ITO proceed without an instants delay.
From Shanghai the Daily Express
has received confirmation of the reported
murder of fifty missionaries in the prov
ince of Shanshi, with the additional
information that eight English women
were dragged out of the mission build
ings by Chinese mob who beheaded
them in the streets of Chuchou.
Shanghai, July Am imperial edict
announces the receipt of an official tele-
gram, the Tsung Ii Yamen asserting that
the ministers were all we'll on July 30
and that vegetables, fruits and other
supplies had been sent to the legations
on several occasions. According to ca
Diagrams from Chez Foo it is announced
that imperial troops, advancing to oppose
the relief forces, have completely wiped
out Christian town near Pekin, killing
five foreign priests and 10000 native
Christians.
