THREE STEAMERS DUE
Quartet of Liners Should Get in To-
 day-Humboldt to Take Mail.

Three steamers are due from the Sound today. They are the Danube, the Ruth and the Humboldt.
 Beginning today, the Humboldt will carry mail from Skagwav to the Sound. She may also bring mail today. The management of the company was recently awarded the contract to carry mail between the Sound and Alaskan ports with the Humboldt so long as she remains on the run, and that should she leave the run she should be paid only for the service ren- dered up to the time of her leaving How ever, there has been no announcement that the ship is to leave the run.

RECIPROCITY WITH ECUADOR.
Gen. Archibald J. sampson, Our Min
lister at Quito, Has NeEOtint-
ed a Commercial Treaty.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Gen. Archi-
bald J. Sampson, United States minis
ter TO Ecuador, has arrived here after
three years residence at Quito. He
says that he has just concluded a rec
Iprocity commercial treaty with the
Ecuadorian government of decided
advantage to both countries and of
special interest to California. The ex-
port of flour and wine will be especial
ly fOstered under the treaty. Wine is
in excellent demand, and flour is $25
per 100 pounds. This excessive price
is due to the high import duties, and
the fact that all supplies have to be
packed to the city of Quito over a diff
ficult trail 315 miles up into the
Andes, and at an altitude of 10000
feet.
Gen. Sampson says that Ecuador re-
Gently established the gold standard,
although it will not go into effect un-
til November of this year.

WHOLESALE JAIL DELIVERY.
BY the Aid of Outside Help Several
Prisoners I'm the Red Lodge
CMOntD Jail Escaped.

Red Lodge, Mont, Aug. GA
wholesale Jail delivery occurred here
Sunday morning. Parties on the out.
side pried off a window bar and
opened the cells with skeleton keys.
Frank Woodstock, an alleged thief;
Dick Johnson, a half-breed, who
stabbed a man, at Joliet, last week;
Tinker, an alleged forger, and John
Wilburn, alias Walden, wanted at
Clayton, y. NJ, for cattle stealing and
Jail breaking, escaped.
Frank Russell, a noted forger, who
is alleged to have operated extensive
ly at ChOteau, here, and other places,
and "Slicler JIM" a horse thief, al
though threatened by the others with
death, refused TO leave the Jail. 1t is
supposed the four men have gone
into Wyoming to join the Hole in
the Wall" gang of desperadoes. This
is the third time the Jail has been
opened from the outside within two
years.

PHENOMENAL ENLISTMENTs.
No Trouble Experienced in Keeping
the Regular Army Up to the
Full Legal Limit.

New York, Aug. Establishments in
the army have been phenomenal
since the beginning of the trouble in
China, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Herald. Young
men in all parts of the country have
hocked to the recruiting stations anX-
ious to see active military service in Il
foreign land. The recruiting officers
are taking their pick of the applicants
and are having no difficulty in keep
ing the regular army about up to its
full limit under the law. Col. Thomas
Ward, the assistant adjutant general
in charge of the enlisted mems divi-
sion, said that enlistments in the
army have never been so numerous
as at present. This is the more re
markab BILE since the recruiting in the
harvesting period is always less than
at any other time of the year.

Insurance Company Turned Down.

The secretary of States Office has
turned down the Tontine Surety Com
pany of Detroit, Mich, refusing to file
its charter, a preliminary step to doing
business in the State. The enterprise
was considered hazardous one for in
vestors, and the business not a legiti-
mate one, the officials believing that
the company could not carry out its
proposition. The company proposed to
collect $1.95 weekly for sixty-four
weeks, at the end of which time it
would give the investor a clear white
diamond valued at s125, which it would
purchase for the sum of S1O0.

The Cause of the Tragedy.

Mrs. DIR. Wright was about fifty
years old. 1t is stated that she was
formerly an actress. For some time
she has been conducting a lying-in-
hospital on the outskirts of Gilman.
The death of Bessie Salter, in the
house last Friday, and the later YER
dict of the cOroner's jury, Saturday,
caused the issuance of a warrant for
her arrest, which resulted in the
wholesale shooting and probable
death of the principal.
Attempt to Lynch Mrs. Wright.
Mrs. Wright was brought to the
city hall and a strong guard placed
over her. A crowd soon assembled at
the city hall and threats of lynching
were uttered. Every effort was made
to quiet and dispense the mob, but at
$3.50 Monday fornoon the mob made
another demonstration, smashing in
the windows with stones and clubs.
This eliminated in a shot being fired
through the window by one of mob,
barely missing the woman. The Off
GERS finally restored order but it
seemed probable that there would be
further trouble. The coroner's jury
till one o'clock.
