To Germany,s Advantage.

London, Oct. 2l.-'I believe" said En-
peror William recently, '''that it is to Ger
manys advantage for England to have
the Boer republics"
The complete accuracy of this import
ant quotation, which gained strength be-
cause it was not said for the sake of
modifying some English diplomat, Is
ycuched for The remark was made in
the course of a conversation between the
emperor and leading German whose ad-
vice i'm matters of commercial policy his
majesty greatly relies on and who, by the
way, is not lover of Great Britain and
her works Through recent visit OF this
individual to England the Associated
Press secured knowledge of what may be
fairly described as the emperor's candid
opinion of the South African matter.
For several days the English and con-
tinental papers have contained hints, and
even assertions, that Russia, France and
Germany are contemplating joint action
with the idea of coercing Great Britain
into at least a government for the Beers.
This last revival of rumors has even af-
fected the markets in England Whether
Russia and France ever contemplated
stances under which Emperor William
such action is not known, but the circum-
spoke effectually and definitely disposes
of all possibility of any European inter
vention, for it is acknowledged on all
sides that Russia and France would not
act without Germany.

Trade Report.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s Week
ly Review of Trade for last week says:
A settlement of the coal strike salts
factory to all interests having been eff
fected, business breathes more freely
in the east and distribution of mer-
chandise is increasing slowly, though
the election keeps new buying in many
lines down to wants for immediate con-
sumption. In the west there is not
the same hesitation and there, as well
as in the south, the marketing of the
crops is responsible for a feeling of
much confidence. Prices of commodi-
ties are weaker and the caution so
gratifying in presidential year keeps
speculation at minimum. Cotton fur
ther declined, making the loss about
Sc bale in two weeks. Planters are
rushing work and picking is expected
to progress rapidly enough to save
most Of the crop from an early frost.
High prices make it possible to pay
good wages to pickers and the move
ment at receiving points increases
largely. Domestic spinners are not
liberal buyers but exports are only
slightly smaller than a year ago.
Wheat has shown more weakness,
due in part to the greater activity at
Russian ports and Atlantic exports for
the week were only 2647, 235 bushels,
against 3,270,226 year ago.
Few fluctuations occurred in iron and
steel, but there were advances in Bes-
semer pig at Pittsburg and billets at
Philadelphia. Moderate gains are re-
ported in the volume of transactions,
although the tendency is to delay large
contracts a few weeks. Implement
makers take near iron freely and or
ders for pipe are urgent, with severe
weather coming on. Structural shapes
are taken for foreign points as far dis
tant as Egypt and domestic builders
buy freely. More mills have gone into
blast and the general tone is improv-
ing. Production Of coke has increased
but prices are easy and many mills
are still idle. 1t declined again, max
+ ing a decline of cents from the high
point in July.
Leather and hides are steady and sell
very well. Jobbers are placing large
orders with manufacturers and the de-
mand is no longer confined to fall
goods. Spring contracts are increas-
ing at an encouraging rate, although
an effort is made to keep these sales
as quiet as possible, owing to the eff
feet on the market of raw material.
While wooden mills are not working
at full capacity, more seasonable
weather has increased buying in this
line and purchases of wool at the three
chief eastern markets are 100000
pounds, the best total for a long time,
although still far below the amount
taken through speculative activity a
year ago. Prices are steady and hold
ers show no less confidence.
Failures for the week were 200 in
the United States, against las last
year, and 26 in Canada, against 20 last
year.

Word has been received that a MUIR
der had been committed at the works
of L. Tinkel & Co., who are building an
electric plant at the Big Fork on Swan
river at the head of Flathead lake. Lat
er in the day officer Nadreau, who lives
in that part of the county arrived in
Kalispel with j. j. Patton, who ac-
knowledges his guilt. He stabbed his
man just at the top of the heart and
the victim died almost instantly. Pat
ten says that the men employed at the
works were throwing tin cans at his
door and disturbing his sleep. He
went out and told them to quit, when
they advised him to get into his house
or they would fix him. He returned
to his house and reappeared with a
large knife and began cutting. A gen.
eral row ensued and he killed Frank
Carroll in the fight
VIII Hanks, formerly we'll known in
Great Falls, and one of its early set
tiers, was in Helena last week, visiting
old friends, and incidentally working
for the organization of Montana
Rancbmen's Association, which he
says is designed for the protection of
the small farmers against the large
cattlemen and sheepmen and for the
securing of their rights against the
railway companies.
An effort is to be made to induce
Governor Smith to appoint a state
board of health to act until the next
legislature can enact laws necessary
for the control and regulation of such
a body. This step Is deemed advisa-
BILE in view Of the existence of smallpox
/ in many localities and the prospects of
the disease spreading during the COM
ing winter.
In the exercise of their duties the
the boards of health in any of the coun-
ties or cities of Montana may lawfully
direct compulsory vaccination when it
is deemed advisable to prevent the
spread of smallpox. This is the opin-
ion of Assistant Attorney General
Leob.
The petition Of taxpayers of Cascade

AVERsE TO DOUBLE BRIDGE. -
At meeting of the Washington Board
of Trade last night report of the com.
mittee on bridges averse to double
bridges across the Potomac-one for
railroads and the other for pedestrians
and wagons-to be placed alongside of
each other, was unanimously adopted.
The committee urged that the two
bridges would cause too much obstruc-
ton to the channel, besides facilitating
the deposit of dirt They recommend
the election of a single bridge which
would answer both for the railroads
and other traffic. This single bridge,
they think, should be built at the ex-
pense OF the railroad company.
