Heavy Rains Help to Quench the Time
ber Fires.
A Missoula dispatch to the Anaconda
Standard under date of July 26 says:
Superintendent Collins has received no
direct information today regarding the
forest fires in the reserves, but from the
reports that have come in from the fires
nearer Missoula, it is learned that the
rains of last night and this morning have
checked the destruction of timber effect
ually. The rain at Bonita was heavy
enough to quench the fire that has been
burning SO fercely there for week or
more and dispatch to the Standard
states that the lumbermen believe that
tie fire will not revive. It will be
watched carefully, and if it is possible it
will be prevented from getting another
start.
The driver of the Blackfoot stage who
came in from Cottonwood tonight says
the rainfall was very heavy there last
night, though it was lighter in the
Camas prairie country. He is of the
opinion that it extended far enough
west and north from there to check the
fire.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

State Weather Observer E. J. Glass of
Helena has issued the following epitome
of the crop conditions in the state for
the week ending July "a:
There has been no change in the crop
conditions during the last week; hot,
dry winds have been general throughout
the state. The weather has been favor
able for haymaking and grain harvest
ing. The hay crop in western Montana
is yielding more than was anticipated a
few weeks past. Hay harvest is about
over in the western portion of the state
and the harvest of the grain crop has
begun. In many places in the central
and eastern portions farmers are cutting
their oats for hay. The early varieties
of apples are ripening in the Bitter Root
valley. The apple crop will be up to the
average.

Willing to Back Bryan.

A Milwaukee dispatch says; James
Fisher Jr., who has a large stock farm at
Eastman, Crawford county, Wis, is will
ling to back up his confidence in William
Jennings Bryan with his good money.
The daily news of this city today pub
fishes the following communication
from him:
Editor Daily News: Please state in
your paper that I have $1,000 to bet
with any republican that Bryan will
beat Mckinley. have offered it repeat
edly here, but can get no takers.
Twill also bet one half of this amount
that Bryan will carry Wisconsin by
more than 5000 majority. Will bet 800
that he will carry Wisconsin by 10000
votes. The farmers are almost solidly
against Mckinley. The German farm
ers are unanimous against him. Mark
Hannas money may do something in the
cities, but it won't work in the country.

mills at Bonner sent out force of men
to aid in fighting the fire and they will
proceed at once to the Swan River coun-
try. If, as is hoped, the rain was heavy
north of here, it is likely that the fire
has been checked sufficiently to enable
the rangers and their assistants to sub
due it entirely.
No word has been received here today
as to the progress of the fires in the west
end of the county. In the Bitter Root
mountains there is considerable timber
being burned, but the situation there is
not considered as being as dangerous as
in the Lewis and Clarke reserve. One
of the fires in the Bitter Root was re-
ported yesterday as being under control.
Superintendent Collins has received
from Agent Smead of the Flathead res
ervation assurance that everything pos
sible will be done to check the forest
fires that are within the limits of the res
ervation, and Mr.. Collins believes that
Agent Smead will CO. o-operate in the pre-
vention of any repetition of the destruc,
tion of timber outside the reservation
boundaries by the Indians. With the
CO operation of the Indian department
in this matter, the Indians can be pre-
vented from indulging any further in
this pastime of setting fire to the timber
to aid them in slaughtering game. M.
Mcdonald, who has just returned from
a trip through the Clearwater country,
says that he saw many evidences of care
lessness on the part of campers and
others, who do not take pains to proper
ly quench their camp fires when they
leave them. The law covering this Of
fense is very positive, and neglect is pun
ishable.

Bryan On Ilslyserin ltslll.

William Jennings Bryan, in an inter
view recently, was asked if the anti-im-
perialist vote would be seriously affected
by the announcement of some of the op-
poncnts of imperialism that they will op-
pose him on account of the silver plank
in the platform. He replied:
Several gold standard opponents OF
Imperialism have already announced
their intention to support the democratic
ticket. Although the Anti-Imperialistic
league has not acted officially in such a
matter each individual is governed by
his own views as to the relative impor-
tance of the issues. The democratic
platform declares the question of imper-
ialism to be the paramount issue. II
any opponent of Imperialism refuses to
support the democratic ticket because Of
the silver plank it must be because he
considers the money question more i'm
portant than the Philippine question:
that is, he prefers gold standard en-
pire to bimetallic republic.
when the test comes I believe that
those who adhere to the doctrine that
governments derive their just powers
not from superior force, but from the
consent of the governed, will support oul
ticket even though they do not indorse
the silver plank. A large majority of the
democrats believe that a restoration o1
bimetalism will prove a blessing, but
the anti-imperialists who dispute this
will admit that any evils that might
arise from bimetallism could be correct
ed more easily than the evils which
would follow from the deliberate in
dorsement of militarism and imperial
ism."

King Of Italy Is Shot Three
Times.
DIES OF HIS WOUNDS.
The Assassin Former Employe Of a
New Jersey Silk Factory He Was
Nearly Lynched.

Monza, Italy, July D.-king Humbert
has been assassinated. He was shot by
Angelic Brissi and died in a few minutes.
The king was attending gymnastic
competition celebration and had just en-
tered his carriage with his aide de camp
amid the cheers of the crowd. He was
killed by three revolver shots fired in
quick succession. One pierced the heart
of his majesty who fell back and expired
in "A few minutes. The assassin was ar
rested immediately and was with diff
Guilty saved from the fury of the crowd
by the police. He gave his name as An
CELLO Brissi, describing himself as of
Prato, in Tuscany.
Monza, Italy, July D-More details of
the terrible tragedy are now available.
1t happened SO quickly and expeditiously
that the king was dead almost before
the spectators had realized what had oc-
Cured. The king had entered his car
riage and was just driving off when re-
volver shots were fired in quick success
sion. Some witnesses assert that Bressi
was seen just previously waving his hand
and cheering. The first shot wounded
the king in the neck. The second and
fatal one pierced his heart and the third
broke his arm.
The crowd was stunned by the unex-
pected scene, but speedily rush was
made towards the assassin. He made
no attempt to escape and was roughly
treated until the carbincers formed a
Gordon and secured him from the fury of
the people.
An eye witness says that Immediately
after the shots were fired the king fell
back, and pressing his hand to his heart
died without uttering sound. Blood
gushed from his mouth.
The assassin on reaching the guard
room was in pitiable condition, his
hands and arms being lacerated and
bloody and his clothes torn by the angry
crowd. Replying to questions he hissed
through his teeth: Tell them l came
from America on purpose to kill Hum
bert. l only just arrived from America
and know no one. spent day at Bo
logna and then came to Milan" A
search made at his home at Prato re-
suited in the finding of several compro
missing letters from New York, one
signed by a woman and was dated July
25. In this letter the writer asks if all
is ready and expresses hope that he will
soon return. The assassin is strictly
guarded in prison. He continues to pre-
serve absolute indifference and took
meals today without sign of being af
fected by his position. The second let
ter was found on the public stand in the
gymnastic grounds. Bressi formerly
worked in silk factory at Patterson
New Jersey.

HAD A HARD FIGHT
Were Repeatedly Attacked by the Chinese
Troops Armistice Declared-Lega-
tions Destroyed Hay Hopeful.

Special to the Bee.
London, July N.-The admiralty has
made public the following dispatch from
Bear Admiral Bruce at Tien Tsin:
British Legation, Peking From June
20 to July 16 we were repeatedly at
tackled by Chinese troops on all sides by
both rifle and artillery. Since July 16
an armistice has been enforced, but
Gordon is strictly drawn on both sides of
the position. The Chinese barricades
are close to ours. All women and child
rem are in the British legation. The cas-
ualties up to date are: Sixty-two killed,
including Captain Strouts, and num-
ber of wounded are in the hospital, in
Guiding Captain Halliday. The rest of
the legationers are we'll except David
Oliphant and Warren.
Signed, Mcdonald"
Washington, July 3O.-The secretary
of state received at midnight dispatch
from Mr. Fowler dated Chez Foo, July
%, noon.-Mr. Fowler says "A letter
from the German legation dated the 21st
inst, received at Tien Tsin. German
loss, 10 killed and IL injured. The Chi
nese ceased their attack on the 18th.
Baron Won Kettler's body is said to be
safe. The Austrian, Dutch and Spanish
legations are destroyed, and the French
partially. A letter from the japanese
legations dated the 22nd inst arrived at
Tien Tsin the 25th says ten battalions of
Chinese shelled the legations consecu-
lively from the Goth of June and stopped
on the 18th of July, but may renew. The
enemy are decreasing. The German
Russian, American, British, Japanese
and French legations say they have food
for six days but little ammunition.
Washington, July 30.-The effect of
days news from China was to freshen
the hope that the government can soon
get in direct communication with min
lister Conger. The mass of testimony as
to his being alive as late as the 22d inst.
is now so great as to warrant the depart
ment in resuming the consideration of
projects for the future. With all it's
anxiety to get. Mr.. Conger and the Amer
leans in Pekin safe away, the department
is proceeding with proper precaution
and is by no means disposed to accept
any proposition that would unduly
jeopardize their lives. Such might be
the result of an off hand acceptance of a
proposition to have the Chinese govern
ment deliver foreign ministers at Tien
Tsin, for it is realized that the escort
might be overpowered by superior forces
of Boxers on the way to the sea. The
state department has come to the con-
clusion that Mr.. Conger himself is the
best person to judge of the conditions
under which his deliverance shall be
affected, and therefore it is again looking
to the Chinese government to place it in
communication with Mr.. Conger, in
order that it may be advised by him.
That requirement was first of the con-
ditions laid down by the president in his
answer to the appeal of the Chinese
emperor, SO the situation automatically
can not be said to have been materially
changed by the developments today.

Waco, Tex, July 3O.-A mysterious

today at the residence of M. G. Kings
bury, one of Waco's most prominent cit
liens. The dead bodies of Duncan Len
nan and Myron G. Lingsbury's broth
er-in-l law were found in room with
their throats cut from ear to ear. The
fact that neither of the bodies was in
jured or bruised except about the throat
indicates that there was no struggle, and
it is generally the opinion that they were
murdered.

Special to the Bee.
Bloemfontein, July General Hun
ter has received the written uncondi-

Caledon valley. About II o'clock the
troops were drawn up in two long lines
on the hills and over the valley and the
Beers rode between, throwing down
their rifles on the ground with motley
collection of clothing, blankets and gear,
such as was found in General Cronje's
laager. The Ficksburg command was
first to lay down it's arms, consisting of
about $50 men. Then came the Lady
brand command with about 1850 men,
fifteen horses, two guns and fifty wagons,
which were given up.
General Priz and Commandant Crow
ther were received by General Hunter at
his tent, where they were well treated
and accorded every courtesy.
Many of the Beers have gone through
Naauwpoot and will surrender to Gen
eral Macdonald. Others are still arriv-
ing here. The Harrismith and Vrede
commandos are yet at large, as we'll as
some Beers who got out of the valley at
night, but the prisoners say that those
outside will surrender, and this will
practically end the Free State army.
The Beers say they would not have sur
rendered had they not been surrounded.
The prisoners have been placed in a
laager under guard and will be kept
there until all arrive.
