Clark Arrives in Butte From
Paris.
WILL WATCH BARREL,
Chilly Reception for the Boodler il
Decorated Carriage-Makes
Speech.
Special to the Bee.

Special to the Bee.
Butte, Oct. 4.-W. A. Clark returned
on Wednesday from Paris and elsewhere.
His reception here was chilly in the ex-
treme, despite the strenuous efforts of
the Butte Miner and Clarks henchmen
to get up enthusiasm. Handbills had
been printed and scattered through the
city announcing the advent of the great
man, but all attempts to arouse enthusi-
asm and interest were futile. There
were bands and carriages and a few who
knew upon which side their bread is
buttered, who met Clark at the depot
and extended the glad hand. The pro
cession up town was frost. People
lined the sidewalks to see the curious
pageant, in the center of which was a
gaily decorated carriage containing the
the conceited and self-conscious briber;
but the crowd did not cheer much. A
crowd Of young boys tagged on behind
and yelled right Justify in recognition OF
which Clark continually raised his hat,
deluded into the belief that the lads
noise was hurrahs for him. At his home
Clark made speech, saying that he had
come back to fight for the peoples rights
and to Illustrate an attempt to turn the
state over to the Standard Oil trust. He
also said that he cared nothing for his
own political interests, but would devote
his time and energy to save the people
from merciless greed and corruption.

independent Democrats Nomi-
nate a State Ticket.
HOGAN FOR GOVERNOR
A Strong and Winning Ticket All the Way
Through Enthusiasm All
Over the State.

Butte, Oct. 2-The Independent DEM
ocratic state convention met at the noon
hour today and the representation was
short in Fergus, Dawson and Valley
counties. Headed by the Alice band the
delegation tramped through the mud
and seemed to enjoy the experience.
There was much enthusiasm and when
the Lewis and Clarke delegation made
their appearance in the hall it was loudly
applauded. The usual committees were
appointed and an adjournment was taken
until $50 p. m.
The reading of the call for the state
convention and the resolutions adopted
by the boiling delegation at Helena were
loudly applauded, particularly that por-
ton referring to w. A. Clark as con-
victed briber and corruptionist. Mr..
Booth announced that the state central
committee had selected Governor Robert
B. Smith to act as temporary chairman,
and Albert I. Loeb, of Lewis and Clarke,
and David P. O'Connor, of Silver Bow,
as secretaries.
Governor Smith was loudly cheered as
he was escorted to the platform and de-
livered an extensive speech during which
he was frequently interrupted by vocifer
GUS applause. He said that the majority
of the democratic state convention held
at Helena had trampled upon rights of
10000 to 5000 voters, not for the pur
pose of enhancing the prosperity of the
democratic party but solely in the in
terest of one man who has an insane
idea that he should be selected to repre-
sent the people Of Montana in the United
States senate.
This convention is protest against
the crime of the nineteenth century,"
said Governor Smith. 1T is protest
against the further disgrace of the de-
mocracy Of the state of Montana. w. A.
Clark stands convicted by the supreme
court of the state and by the United
States senate of bribery and corruption
and this we do not propose to condone.
This bribery was confessed by Clark, by
his resignation, and then by trickery in
trying to get back" Gov. Smith said
that because the democrats had family
trouble the republicans should not get
the idea that they would not be properly
looked after by the democrats. He criti-
cised at length the present administra-
ton and said the people of the country
were already satisfied that they have had
enough of Mckinley and the men be-
hind the throne.

Umpire NIObbed at Helena.

Special to the Bee.
Helena, Oct, 4.-Fourth game IN the
championship series, between Helena
and Great Falls was given to Great Falls
by umpire Burke, at the end of the
second inning by score of 90. AT
the time of the forfeiture Burke was
being assaulted by Helena players and
people from the grand stand. The
trouble arose from the fact that Burke
had ordered Tinker, Helena player off
the grounds for cursing him; Tinker did
not 60 and Burke pulled his watch, upon
which he was set upon and mobbed.
Tonight Burke was arrested on the
charge of carrying deadly weapons. He
is in Jail unable to furnish $500 bail.
Each club has won two games now.
Deciding contest will be played in Butte
tomorrow.

Concerning Chinese MIDDLE
Continue to Be Made.
REPLY TO GERMANY.
A French Russian Proposition Contemp1ates
the Stoppage Of Shipping Arms
to China.
Special to the Bee.

Special to the Bee.
Washington, Oct Propositions of
far-reaching character concerning China
are being presented in rapid succession
to the United States government. The
state department., had no sooner disposed
of one Of these propositions today, by
delivering response to one which Ger
many made, than it was confronted by
an even more important proposition sub
mitted by the French government, and
which was within half an hour formally
seconded by the Russian government.
The French -Russion proposition is un-
der four heads namely-First, punish
ment of guilty parties; second, inter
diction of shipment of arms into China;
third, payment of indemnity of powers;
fourth, sufficient guarantees for the
future. In addition a suggestion is
made for the establishment of a perment
legation guard at Pekin, for the raising
of the Taku forts and for the maintaince
of line of communication between
Pekin and the sea. The answer today
to Germany covered the subject of
punishment of chinese subjects and
made known that the United States had
instructed minister Conger along lines
suggested by Germany. These in
structions look toward securing names
of persons deserving chastisement also
whether punishments are in accord with
gravity of crimes committed, and finally
in what manner the United States and
other powers are to be assured that satis-
factory punishment is inflicted. Aside
from these specific purposes of note it is
regarded as important chiefly in estab-
fishing most satisfactory relations be-
tween the governments at Washington
and Berlin.

county, for the crime of murder in the
second degree.
Larsen killed man by the name of
E. L. Hawkins near Troy in 1894, and
was convicted September 8, 1895. Many
citizens of Flathead county petitioned
the governor to exercise clemency in his
case. The petitions show that at the
time of the killing Larsen was in state
of intoxication that would not permit of
his realizing the enormity of the crime.
The petitions represented to the COVER
nor that Larsen had previously borne a
good reputation in the community, was
of quiet disposition, and during his en-
tire residence in the community, extend
ing over a period of five years, had never
been known to be intoxicated. The peti-
tions and letters state that Larsen prom
Used, upon his release from the peniten-
tiary, to abstain from the use of liquor
for ever after.
Among those who lnterceded with the
governor in Larsen's behalf were Sidney

Arrangements COmplcted-Butte VIII See
Flathead Products.

A few days ago number of prominent
citizens of the city and county met in
the Office of the Bee and discussed a
plan to exhibit Flathead county fruits
and vegetables in Butte. At the meet
ing committee was appointed who
were to take up the matter and arrange
for the transportation and collection of
an exhibit which would fully demon
strate the capabilities of the county as a
fruit growing district.
j. H. Edwards commenced correspond
ence with the Great Northern, with a
view of arranging for transportation, and
has met with every encouragement from
the company.
Archibald Gray of the freight depart
ment, in letter dated September 90,
said:
Your idea of exhibiting in Butte is a
splendid one and I think we can take
care of it in the front part of our ticket
office, right here on Main street. X
In the meantime I would suggest that
you go ahead with your arrangements.
y l will be glad to provide free
transportation for your representative,
kalispell to Butte and return"
The committee have arranged with
Broderick & Walker for a place of stor-
age while the fruit is being collected,
where it will be sorted and boxed for
shipment. The desire is to have the ex-
hibit a complete one in every respect,
and all who have fruits and vegetables
should bring in specimens for the dis
play. Let everyone take pride in the
movement and it will be success.
Bring in everything you think of merit;
don't hold back because you think what
you have is not good enough, but bring
in what you have SO that selections may
be made which will be credit to the
county. Don't delay; bring them in at
once.

COOPER DON'T KNOW.
Whether He VIII Ask Hayes to Resign
From Clark Ticket or Not.


Special to the Bee.
Helena, Oct, 4.-Chairman Cooper of
the Clark central committee, was asked
tonight if George M. Mayer, candidate
on both Clark and Independent tickets,
for Secretary of State, would be asked to
withdraw from the latter ticket. He re-
fused to discuss the matter, and said
that the subject was under consideration
by the committee. 1t is believed that
Hays will be permitted by the Clarkites
to remain on both tickets, as he is a
strong man and the Clarkites see disaster
in bringing on fight against him. He
also said that Patrick Carney, one of the
candidates for elector will have to be
pulled off because he already holds the
Office of commissioner in Madison coun-
ty. Cooper said the committe had that
matter under advisement also.

Will Promptly Reply to Inquiry About
Making Banks Depositaries.

Just as soon as either the House or SEN

ticulars as to the recent order designating
additional national banks as depositaries of

deposits Secretary Gage will send full de-
tails and will do SO with great pleasure
1t Is stated at the Treasury Department. 1t
is freely declared by friends of the Secre-
tary that he will give such clear answers
to the questions asked as to make some Of
the statements about him appear ridiculous
The main points of the answer to be
made to any resolution will be that it was
necessary to do something to relieve the
open was to increase the deposits in ma
was necessary to have some banking insti-
tuition which would distribute the receipts
as directed by Secretary Gage, inasmuch as
no money once turned into the treasury
could be distributed without direct appro-
prlatlon OF Congress; that the National City
Bank promptly came forward with security
In the shape Of 81 ,000,0 600 In bonds; that 1t
was a number of days afterward before
any other bank appeared with sufficient Sc
cur1ty; that the bank makes nothing, and
Is really at heavy expense in acting as
dlstrlbutlve agency; that there can be no
partlal1ty to any bank, inasmuch as the
daily receipts, which are sent to banks as
directed by Secretary Gage; that the Ma
tlonal City Bank makes a daily report to
the treasury, which Is at all times pro-
tected by abundant security in the way of
United States bonds.

Loyal Citizens Accompany Him
Through Fear of the BOera

BELMONT, Cape Colony, Wednesday,
January 3.-Col. Pitcher it is officially an
nounced. being only on ralding expedi-
ton, and for military reasons being unable
to occupy Douglas permanently, has evac-
uated the town, bringing off all the loyal
lists. He has now returned safely to close
proximity to Belmont. When he announced
the necessity of evacUating the place the
inhabitants of Douglas declared their lives
were not worth five minutes purchase after
the troops left Col. Pitcher, therefore, in
vited them to accompany him to Belmont
The preparations were speedily completed,
but the vehicles of the town were totally
inadequate to convey the refugees, so the
troops gave up the transport wagons to the
women and children. The Canadians acted
as an escort of the refugees, carried babies
for the women and kept everybody lively
by singing as they marched pluckily along,
in spite of sore feet, occasioned by the
heavy sand. which made marching ex-
tremely tiring.
The force received Gen. Buffers congrat-
ulations on the success of the expedition
with great satisfaction
