A Train Of Threship1 Machines

A Train Of Threshing Machines.
A train containing 81 cars bf thresh-

Well, my friends, if you will tell me
what trust is, I'll answer your ques-

We'll. If you don't know I'll tell you,"

CONGER HEARD FROM.
Working Peace Negotiations From
Both Sides.

Washington, Oct. 18.-For the first
time in three days Minister Conger was
heard from at the state department to-
day. He communicated by cable the
substance of certain propositions ad-
vanced by Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang as basis for the conduct of
negotiations for g. settlement of the
Chinese trouble. The Chinese govern
ment already has prepared the way for
these by a preliminary action looking
toward the punishment of Chinese
officials guilty of completely in the Boxer
uprising.
While the text of Mr.. Conger's COM
munication is not made public it is be-
lieved that the last Chinese advices ad-
dressed to some OF the propositions con-
tanned in the French note being in the
nature of counter proposals and pro-
posed upon the theory that what has
been in the mater of punishments is
efficient to meet the demands of the
powers in that respect. Minister WI
called at the state department today by
appointment and had long conference
with Secretary Hay. The secretary
previously had spent an hour with the
president at the White house, presum-
ably in connection with Minister Wus
call, and it is believed that Minister WI
was called to the department to throw
light upon some of the detailed PROPOSE
tions.
There is reason to believe that the

government will take favorable action
on the latest proposition of the French
government presented yesterday through
the French charge d'affairs, M. THE
baut. This contemplates the opening OF
peace negotiations on those points
which the powers are agreed upon, leav-
ing the ministers at Pekin the details
of working out a further agreement on
those points which the powers made
restrictions upon. The basis of the
negotiations would be the French note
delivered on Oct. 4, together with the
replies of the other powers This would
make practically two negotiations go
ing on at the same time, one concerning
the points of agreement which would
have to be adjusted with China, and
the other by the ministers at Pekin
with view to securing an agreement
previous to submitting it to China
There is felt to be no inconsistency in
having this double work proceed con-
currently, and it has the advantage of
gctling peace negotiations actually un-
der way. In case Of a. favorable reply
to France, it is probable that steps
would have to be taken to designate
plenipotentiaries for the powers, for up
to this time Mr.. Conger is acting only
as minister and Mr.. Rockhill as COM
missioner to make inquiries, and there
is no authorization to either of them to
conduct peace negotiations. Whether
special plenipOtentiaries would be named
or additional powers would be given to
Mr.. Conger or Mr.. Rockhill is still unde-
cided. About the most serious obstacle
which stands in the way of immediate
peace negotiations is the absence Of the
imperial family from Pekin, and the
doubt this creates as to the full approval
being given to the work of Chinese
plenipotentaries. While the latter claim
to have full credentials, yet the powers
have looked upon the presence of the
emperor at Pekin as an almost inde-
pensable requisite toward giving the
negotiations complete efficacy. In this
connection the presence of the emperor
might have significance considerably
beyond anything thus far brought out,
in the way of firmly re-establshing his
imperial authority and freeing it from
the intrigues and anti-foreign in
years practically nullified his rule.

BILLINGS is ALL RIGHT.
Greatest Political Demonstration Ever
Held in the City.

Special to Inter Mountain.
Billings, Mont, Oct. 1.-THE largest
political demonstration ever held in Bill
ings was given tonight by the republi-
cans of Yellowstone county. At 8
o'clock the Republican Marching club
and other republicans to the number of
200 paraded the principal business
streets, headed. by the Billings band.
The members Of the club carried UNI
brellas and flambeaus, and wore Roose-
welt hats and capes. The sidewalks
were lined with hundreds Of people, and
great enthusiasm reigned. The process
sion broke up at the opera house where
speaking by Congressman w. G. Arnold,
Of Pennsylvania; Hon. Frank p. Lind
say, Of Kansas, and Colonel w. +. San
ders, of Helena, the republican war
horse Of Montana, took place. The
house was packed from the lower floor
to the gallery, and all standing room
was taken and many were turned away.
Although it was nearly 1880 before the
speakers concluded, the vast audience
remained to the end. Fine music was
furnished by the Billings band, and two
male quartettes, one of them being COM
posed of colored people. Great applause
greeted both the speakers and singers.

. DEMOCRACY AT GLENDIVE
Fusion Argument Presented at the
Close Of the Meeting.

Special to Inter Mountain.
Glendive, Mont, Oct. 17.-Judge Gle
ment and w. A. Clark spoke to large
audience at the court house here last
night Judge Clement was the first
speaker, and paved the way, as grace
fully as possible, for w. A. Clark. Mr..
Clark spoke for an hour, and as a cam
paigner was a failure. His speech will
make republican votes wherever he
goes and his so-called argument was
mainly spent in abusing the Independent
democrats and the. Standard Oil COM
pany. He did not refer to the United
States senate nor to the accusations
made against him. After the meeting
there was money galore in the five
saloons in town, and in a short time
nearly a hundred bowling dervishes be-
gan their orgies and kept up the dis
turbance until almost morning.

HANNA IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Singing Cold Weather but Is Well
Received.

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE actual
hard work of the present campaigning
tour of Senator Hanna through the
northwest began at an early hour today
at Redfield, where a large crowd had
gathered. The air was singing cold.
Senator Hanna was received with che ers.
He said in part:
IT have come out to South Dakota for
the first time in my life to tell you people
here just what we think in the east, and
what will be the result of the election
that the state of South Dakota next
November will regain her place and
prestige in the republican parry, and
why not? All the good people of this

port Of William Mckinley, standing BIZ
his administration, giving their verdict
in favor Of it, and saying, Well done.

At Worthwhile, where the train stopped
a moment Mr.. Hanna addressed a fair
sized crowd of farmers from The rear
platform of his car.
At Aberdeen, in the heart Of the great
South Dakota wheat belt, the train stop
ped for an hour. The meeting at Aber-
deem developed some lively questioning
between Senator Hanna and people in
the crowd.
Senator Frye spoke briefly, taking inn
perialism as his main subject, ridiculing
the issue and asking the people of South
Dakota, some of whom had lost sons in
the Philippines, if they feared such a
thing.
Senator Hanna was then introduced.

Mr. Hanna proceeded to discuss the
tariff.
