 New York. Nov 12-Marcus Daly, of Montana, died at q. m. to-day at tic Hotel Netherland.
 Mir Daly'S death has been expected for some weeks. He came home from Europe about the middle of September and soon afterwards was obliged to lake to the bed, from which he never hgain arose. His physicians informed tEe relatives some time ago that Mir Daily would die and so dangerously i'll was he that they would give assurance of life only from day to day. Irights diSedSe. complicated with heart weak ness. was the cause of death.
 Marcus Daly was born in Ireland ill 1912. He came to the United States early ill life and since 1876 has been q citizen of Montana. He became gen eral manager of the Alice silver mine and later came into control of the An aconda copper mine. At the time of his death he was president of the Amalgamated Copper company. In politics he was a democrat. The diff ferences between AIr Daily and w. \. Clark have attracted much attention. The trouble started years ago over scne land near Butte. which Daily and Clark purchased together. Clark se- cured water rights which Daily want ed, and raised on the price while deal was being negotiated. The price was raised from $25, 900 to five times that sum- Litigation ensued, culmi- hating in an order from the courts com polling Daily to pay Clark S225, 900 for his interest, and Daily swore vengeance.
 Daly's opportunity, for revenge came in 1888, when Clark was the democrat ic nominee for delegate to congress. With his immense influence at Ana cOnda Daily was able to throw heavy vote to Carter. Clark's republican ri val. which had previously been cast for the democratic party.
 Montana became a state in 1889. At the first state election Clark was the democratic nominee for representative in congress and J. K. Toole for gov ernor. The latter was elected. but Clark was defeated, supposedly to Daily influences. Clark was then put forward for the United StareS senate. After q bitter contest the legislature was organized by both parties each claiming to be legal. The republicans named Thomas c. Power and w. F. Sanders for their senators. while the democrats put up MT Clark and Ma ior Martin Maginnis. The republi- cans were seated. Daly's influence de- feated Clark in second contest in 1893. In that legislature the demo- CratS had 35 votes. the populiSts 3 and the republicans 33. The Daily democrats, numbering nine, voted sol idly for Congressman ". w. Dixon and there was a deadlock for the en- tire session of sixty days. Telegrams from men like Calvin s. Brice and w.. C. Whitney and others equally high in their party were sent to Daily to with draw his opposition, but he ignored them and the fight continued.
 The next fight between Daily and Clark was over the location of the state capital. Helena, Missoula, Boiseman and Anaconda were ill tine field Daily advocated the last named place. Clark at first favored Butte, but finally changed to Helena and it was chosen. The senatorship became another bone of contention between the two millionaires last January. and Clark was elected. Daly had the val idity of the election contested, on the ground of bribery, when Clark pre-
  " States senate. The use of money in the election was freely acknowledged on both sides. though it was claimed that the expenditures were for the i'm mediate expenses only. The contest resulted in the senate voting that there had been no election by the Montana legislature.
 7, This year Clark made a fight for the election of members of the legislature in his interest and won. His return to the United States senate next Janu ary is assured
