STATE PRESS COMMENT.

The discussion over the creden-
tials of Messrs. Clark and MaginnlS
in the senate yesterday brought to the
surface a strange disposition on the
part of Mr.. Clarks friends in that
body to delay the case by parliament
tary tricks and technicalities. Mr..
Clark has uniformly contended that
his appointment by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Spriggs was perfectly valid. He,
his friends and the public are entitled
to a speedy settlement of the dispute.
No good purpose-no purpose of any
kind visible to the naked eye-can
be served by delay. Either Mr.. Clark
senate until the legislature elects a
senator for the short term or he is
not. An adverse decision on the
Spriggs appointment would settles the
right of Spriggs to appoint as well as
dispose of many Otner issues brought
out in yesterdays discussion.-Ana-

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.

1t seems that at meeting Of the
foreign ministers in Pekin the other
day, the question arose of indemnify
ing the native Christians for dam
ages to person or property inflicted
by the Boxers. The y, i,ian s.tt
said that perhaps it might be good
thing elsewhere, but in Pekin the
converts and missionaries had indem
nified themselves by the most un
scrupulous looting. Some of the mis-
sionaries were most prominent in the
carnival of loot, and some of then
are still selling the loot, obtained per

tions have been held in this county
and neither of them have by word
or deed even so much as limited that
the republican party of this county
disapproved the senates action in the
Whiteside contest.
So, while two wrongs never make a
right, there is nevertheless a grim
satisfaction in seeing the Clarkites
turn upon their whilom friends and
endeavor to rob them as they robbed
the democrats in the sixth legislati We
assembly.
And the fact that the beneficiary of
the Clarkite steal in the sixth leslsla.
tive assembly is resident of Libby an
that the victim of the contemplate
Clarkite steal in the seventh legisla-
tive assembly is also resident of
Libby, carries the lesson home with
greater force. Really, the republi-
cans of this county have no occasion
for Indignation. They sOwed the
wind two years ago and they are reap
ing the whirlwind now. They were
accessories to legislative theft in
1899 and if they are the victims of a
legislative theft in 1901 there will be
little sympathy extended to them by
those who hope and believe that time
at last sets all things even"

THE TIN PLATE STEAL.

ported to Wales, the original timers
home, and the naturalization of the
dollars as they come over to this side
of the pond sounds very sweet to the
American manufacturer and to the
people.-Great Falls Leader.

SIX MONTHS OLD.

The Bee is just six months old to-
day and it is lusty younsstc On
the 18th day of last June the first
number of this newspaper was is
sued amid all sorts of prophecies that
it was only campaign sheet, that It
could not be anything else because it
would not pay, and that the day after
election would see the end of the
enterprise. Well, election day has
been past now for considerably over
a month, and if anyone has noticed
any suspension of business around
this office he has kept the discovery
very closely to himself. Certainly the
employees know nothing of it.
Starting as semi-weekly the Bee
met with instant favor and as daily,
during the campaign it was reva-
lation to the people of this town and
county. During nearly three weeks
of the campaign the Bee maintained
a special delivery service which gave
the news to the voters in the country
precincts hours ahead of the United
States mail. 1t had telegraph news
service of 1000 words every day and
covered the local news field tier
oughly.
It was touch of newspaper high
life" which was appreciated by the
people and when the daily was dis
continued, there was not lacking
very substantial encouragement for
it's resumption. However, it appeared
to the management that three times
a week with telegraphic news service
would about fill the bill, for the pres
ent, and that plan was adopted. 1t has
been successful beyond all expecta-
ton and there seems to be no doubt
that the time is not far distant when
the Daily Bee will become perma-
ent fixture in Kalispell.
Incidentally the Bee is preparing a
Christmas number. Advertisers who
have been shown the prospectus of the
Christmas Bee have regarded it as a
splendid advertising medium and hav
been most liberal with their orders
for advertising space, which is fail
index of what the Christmas number
will be like. Il will be the hani
soonest special number ever issnel

One night in 1776 the Duke of Glou-
cester, the royal brother of George the
Third, then hiding from his kingly
brothers wrath in Paris, was RECALLING
a table party of aristocrats, at the ex-
pense of the King Of England, with a
trenchant account of the Boston tea
party" His cynical sympathy was ex-
pressed for the American rebels, and
he dwelt upon their need for recruits
to fight against his brother. The table
laughed at the tale, which was the first
the most of them had heard directly
on the prepOsterous ambitions for free
dom of the New World colonists.
Among the company was silent, sol
emn young soldier who had listened in
tently to the story, but nobody paid
special attention to the recluse until
the dinner was finished. Then he
strobe across the room to the duke.
Il will join the Americansl l will
help them fight for freedom! Tell me
how to set about IT." he cried. his sal
low, listless face now aglow with a fire
none of his idle comrades had ever seen
there before.
1t was Lafayette, the 19-year-old
marquis, who was the despair of his
family because he seemed always in
browse. Coming from one of the no
blest houses of the empire, he was
married to lady OF high degree, and
was already a father. His wife had
been his love. but now freedom be-
came the stronger passion, and for
more than sixty years he was to follow
its cause. This was the genesis of La
fayette -Woman's Home Companion.

BRIEF TALES OF HORROR.

Hudson River Disaster.

photographic Story of the Appalling
Hudson River Disaster.
The disaster is perhaps the most shock
ing of its kind on record.
Most of the lifeboats of the Saale were
filed with bruised and burned sailors.
Captain Mirrow, the commander of the
Saale. persisted in the flames while in the
performance of his duty.
The smoke from the burning piers and
warehouses was almost sitting in parts
of New York nearest to the FIRE.
The Saale was the first ship that was
got out of the dock, and she was the first
to be reduced to complete wreck.
Every boat thatsh water hose or any
appliance that could be used in extin-
gushing FIRE at once rushed to the scene.
1t is feared that the loss of life in the
hold of the vessels was frightful, as it is
said that many of the crews were asleep
at the time.
AS the ships got into open space the
wind, which was very fresh, made tie
flames leap higher among the rigging and
burn more furiously in the cabins and
holds.
The North German Lloyd Steamship
Company's piers were insured in fire COM
panies for 100000 and it also bad $780,
600 insurance on common carriers liza
bility for merchandise on piers.
The rapidity with which the flames
spread is shown by the futile efforts
made BIZ the officers and crew of the
steamer Main to cast off the moorings of
tAok o,@I 81 4
stream.
On board the Main were thousands of
boxes of cartridges intended for Gibral-
tar. When the flames reached these
there ensued rapid succession of explo-
sions, and il is believed that many were
killed by the flying bullets.
There had been on board the Saale
many visitors, for the vessel was to be
taken around to Boston, where she was
to receive 800 members of the Society Of
Christian Endeaver. Members of the
society had gone during the afternoon to
look over the vessel
Mea were seen with their heads out of
the water-lying ports of the Saale, trying
in their frenzy to force their broad shout
ders through the narrow circle and at
the same time screaming at the top OF
their voices that they might attract the
attention of tugboat men.
Nobody who saw the burning Bremen
from distance supposed that there
could be any lie aboard. as she appeared
from that point OF view to be literally en-
veloped in flame and smoke. But there
were seventeen fearless Germans in an
engineers compartment on the starboard
side nearly amidships. These were after

PROPERTY Loss IS ENORMOUS
Steamship and Dock Companies Great
Pecuniary Sufferers.


The loss on the steamship properties
and to other companies is estimated ap-
proximately as follows: The steamship
Main Of the North German Lloyd line
cost $1,500,000 outside of the cargo, fit.
tings and stores. The loss is placed al
81 300, 600 for the vessel and about $780,
| 600 for the fittings and stores and cargo
that was aboard of her. The steamship
Bremen of the North German Lloyd cost
81 $50. 600 and her fittings and cargo
were valued at 100000. The cargo and
stores were entirely consumed and the
loss to the vessel proper will amount to
at least 100000. The Saale, the steam
ship which will have the most horrible
story of death to unfold when the divers
go down in her, cost the North German
Lloyd Company $1,250000 and tie fit
tings and cargo were valued at 100000,
The damage to the vessel proper is placed
at about 100000.
The damage done to the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse is estimated at 25,000
The three docks of the North German
Lloyd line, which were burned to the
waters edge, are estimated to have cost
$500. 900. The docks were well filed with
merchandise just received from abroad
and valued at $35O,000. The Thingvalla
pier, which was entirely consumed, was
valued at $4,000, counting the stores
which were on it. The Hamburg Ameri-
can line dock, which had just been com
pleted as an extension to their great pier
and which was destroyed in order to pre-
vent the spread of the flames, was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000. The
warehouses of Palmer Campbell, houses
r, +, G end III, were burned The dam
age to buildings alone amount to at least
5000, and the contents 81 ,250, 600.
One lighter containing 5000 bags of
sugar was destroyed, the loss being ST..
0O0 Eight barges and eleven canalboats
were either burned or sunk with their
cargoes. Total valuation $125,000. Minor
losses on floating property burned at the
fire proper or set on fire by burning drift
wood will amount to about $4,000.
Four of the North German Lloyd fleet
suffered. The unlueky Saale was totally
destroyed, the Bremen will probably be q
total loss, the record-holding Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse was badly damaged, the
Main was sunk at her pier. The Bremen
was one of the six twin-screw vessels
built in 1896 and 1897 She had hereto
fore been singularly fortunate and had
never met with serious mishap. Her
maiden trip was made in June, 1897
from Bremen to New York City. She
was a steel vessel, $50 feet long.
Accidents have marked the career OF
the Saale since she was built in Glasgow
