1t is highly improbable that the
rights OF the Porto Ricaus will be
judicially determined until some time
next winter 1t is generally agreed
that none OF the present cases direct
ed to solving the question will do so.
The supreme court will, it is said,
undoubtly decide, in accordance with
we'll known principles of law, that
time must be granted to governments
as well as men, to discharge their
obligations. Even II the constitution
does extend itself automatically over
the new possessions, congress must
pass laws to enforce and apply it,
and it is considered certain that the
courts would allow reasonable time
for this to be done. Such things can
not be executed on the tick of the
clock. Hence, it seems almost GER
tain that the courts will sustain any
action of the government against
which suit is brought on the ground
that the act complained of was done
as an exercise of the war power.
Until the Porto Rican bill becomes
law, it is thought certain that the
courts will not interfere, and after
that bill becomes law, it will probab-
ly be too late for this year. The
supreme court adjourns about the
middle of May and does not re- con
vence until October s, four weeks
before the election 1t is hardly
possible to rush even simple cases
through in this time, and with one so
complicated as the Porto Rican, it
may be taken that it is altogether
impossible.

Great Falls, June 25.-The best news
received in Great Falls for long time is
the announcement that assures the
building to this city of the Bismarck,
Washburn 4 Great Falls railroad.~ Peo-
pie are as happy as a boy with a new
top. The gratifying news comes in
special dispatch from st. Paul, which
states on unquestionable authority that
the new road has been mortgaged to the
Central Trust company of New York for
several million dollars. The bonds are
to bear 5 per cent interest. This sum
insures extension of the road to this city
and the people here look the future in
the eye with smiles on their faces. There
was a party at Culbertson recently from
Washburn who brought news that the
500 line had almost completed the Mis-
souri, Valley branch through that town
and surveyors are at work 50 miles this
side working as rapidly as possible. Peo-
pie expect this road to pass Culbertson
and cross the Missouri river near Brock
ton siding on the Great Northern rail
road. Tho line will thence run over into
Judith north to Great Falls. Among
the probabilities are that ultimately the
line will be extended to Kalispell.

Another Murder.

Special to the Bee
Great Falls, June 25.--Fergus county
was the scene of another murder yester-
day morning and today Charles Brown
lies dead in the county hospital at Lew
istown, with Winchester bullet through
his body and John Gowan, the self con-
fessed murderer is confined in the Lew
istown Jail. Both men were sheep
shearers and were employed on Oscar
Stephens ranch on the Flatwillow about
20 miles from Lewistown. The trouble
between the two men began several
weeks ago, when Brown loaned Gowan
some money, and on several occasions
since he has demanded it's return. Yes
terday, while at the monday meal,
Brown was talking with another man
and his conversation was objected to by
Gowan. Angry words passed, Brown
telling Gowan to keep to himself in the
future. About an hour aftcrward Brown
was walking toward the shcaring sheds
when Gowan, seeing him coming, ran to
IA near by tent and secured Winchester
rifle. Brown, who was some distance
away, started running toward the sheds,
when GoWan took aim and deliberately
fired ut the fleeing man. The wounded
man fell and Gowan, still keeping the
Winchester, went to the stable and sad
ding his his horse, mounted and rode to
Lewistown where he gave himself up to
the authorities. Brown was brought to
Lewistown at once and placed in the
hospital but nothing could be done for
him as the wound was fatal one and
he died last night. Gowan offered no
excuse for the deed except that he was
afraid Brown would kill him.

Clark VIII Holt National Convention If
Not Seated.
Special tn the Bee.
Butte, June So strong is the habit
of boiling upon w. A. Clark that he can
not resist the temptation to bolt afresh
every week or SO. The latest bolt pro
posed by the briber is to be the biggest
bolt of all 1t is no less than to bolt the
national democratic party and start a
national party of his own. This is what
it is said he will do at Kansas City if
things do not come his way. In the
meantime he and his understrappers are
making most elaborate preparations for
the trip to Kansas City. He proposes to
take the Missouri river town by storm
and to capture the entire national con
vention by the gorgeousness of his ad-
vent. The Clark delegation is to leave
here Thursday by special train of three
cars with IL baggage car ahead. The lat
ter will be well stocked with things which
Clark largely depends upon for support.
In addition to the delegates and alter
mates there will be at least one man from
each county. This is done to prove to
the credential committee that the state
is unanimous in his selection. Some
counties will have more than one repre-
sentative and there is already much
complaint and jealousy among sighted
ones. The probabilities are that Clark
will need to add one more coach to his
special train. Tho Boston Il Montana
band has been hired to accompany the
Clark people and everything will be car
ried on the same splendid scale. 1t is
said that Clark will initiate his campaign
in Kansas City with his usual method,
bribing the national committee. The
report is that he will offer large contri-
button to the presidential campaign fund
on condition that he be given seat.
Clark will be satisfied if three of his del
egation and three anti Clark delegates
are seated. In other words he will pro
pose that the entire 12 be seated and
that each delegate shall count half vote
instead of whole vote.

Another killing.

Special to tho Bee.
Helena, June 25.-C. r. A. Scobey,
agent for the Peck Indian reservation,
who is here in attendance upon the fed
eral grand jury, today received telc-
gram from Culbertson, Valley county,
conveying intelligence of another killing
in that notorious place. The man who
was killed was Deputy Sheriff John Elder
and the slayer is Stock Inspector Charles
Stafford. The affair is believed to be
the elimination of series OF troubles
growing out Of the killing of Armstrong
by Elder last January. At that time
Armstrong with gang of cowboys rode
into town, shot out lights and raised a
disturbance. Elder tried to arrest him
and fight ensued, resulting in the
shooting of Armstrong by Elder. Since
then the community has been divided
upon the matter and lines sharply drawn.
AS no particulars have been received
Statford's motive is not known.
