(Specia1 tn Inter ,Mountain)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)

important decisions handel down by
Judge Napton of the district court here
was recorded this morning in case en-
titled the state on relation of w. E.
Thomas VS.. Philip Greenan. as county
clerk and recorder, and A. M. Walker,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners. The case involves the ques-
ton of the salaries not only Of the re-
lator as clerk of the district court, but
also that Of two other officials, county
clerk and recorder and assessor.
Judge Napton's decision is a triumph
for Thomas and his co-ofiicials, hence
there is considerable rejoicing about the
courthouse today. The case is not set
tied, however. as it will be appealed to
the supreme court, at least so says Coun-
ty Attorney Duffy.
The case arose out of the partition oil
Deer Lodge county. At the division
Deer Lodge was classed as a county Of
the fourth class. An error in assessment
reduced the county to the fifth class
The relator claims he is entitled to the
salary as at the time of his election, anl
not as reduced by subsequent action O.

A new idea in musical farce is indeed
a rarity, but in Rudolph and Adolph,"
which Mason and Mason and an excellent
company will present at the Margaret
theater on Saturday night, TIE author
seems to have discovered one. Rudolph
Dinkenspiel," played by that widely
known and extremely clever delineator
of eccentric Germans, Dan Mason, is a
horse doctor. He makes the acquaint-
ance OF "Adolph Dinkenspiel' Charles
A. Mason), ladies' tailor, and pur-
chases an interest in Adolph's business
so that he can measure em round and
round" The last act of the play shows
Adoiph's dressmaking establishment,
with Rudolph as a partner In the VEN
ture. He is unable, however, to divest
himself either of his horse phra seology
or methods, and the result furnishes
comedy scenes said to be funny in the
extreme.

The Record for Consular Duty BE
longs to the Fox Family.

The Sprague family of Massachusetts,
one of whose representatives,, Horatio j.
Sprague, United States Consul at Gibral-
tar. died on Thursday, has not the longest
record of continuous service in the Amer
lean Consular Corps. The statement
apropos Of the death of Mr.. Sprague that
his family furnished the only instance of
father. son, and grandson serving sue
cessively in the same consular Office at
tracted attention at the State Department
yesterday and an examination of the rec
ords disclosed that the honor belonged
to another family
On May 30, 1874, George Washington.
President of the United States, appointed
Robert W. Fox to be United States Consul
at Falmouth, England. He was the grand
father of Howard Fox, the incumbent of
the Falmouth post. who succeeded his ia
ther in that office. The Fox family has
held that Office continually for 10i years,
with the exception OF brief period in
ls5i-5, when another man performed Its
duties Howard Fox's son, r. Barclay
Fox. is Vice and Deputy Consul at Fal-
mouth making the fourth generation OF
the family to serve In the consular ser
vice.
Howard Fox was appointed Deputy Con-
sui at Falmouth on April q. 1863, and
Consul on June II. 1874, and X. Barclay
Fox was appointed his Vice and Deputy
Consul on June l. 1900. The consular ser
vice register says that both Howard
and r. Barclay Fox were born in Eng
land OF American parents temporarily
residing abroad" The office pays very
little, It's fees averaging about 500 year.
DESPITE this meagre compensation, efforts
have been made by American oftice-seek-
ers to oust the Foxes, but the State De-
partment has declined to disturb them,
principally for sentimental reasons.
The service of the Sprague family be-
gan in 1892, when Horatio Sprague, OF
Boston, was appointed Consul at Gibral-
tar. He was succeeded in lsis by his son,
Horatio J. Sprague, who died on Thurs
day. and the latter will be succeeded by
his son, Richard l.. Sprague, aged thirty
years The Sprague family has been in
the consular service to date sixty-nine
years, and If Richard J.. Sprague lives
to be sixty-one years old and does not
resign. there being little chance OF his
removal. the continuous record of the
family will be 100 years

TO RUSH STEEL ARMoR.
Bethlehem and Carn-.s Companies
Promise Incrensed Orders.

Gratifying responses were received yes
terday afternoon by Rear Admiral O'Neil
Chief of the Naval Bureau of Ordnance,
to his letters to the Carnegie Steel Com
pany and the Bethlehem Steei Company
requesting those firms to furnish more
Krupp armor for battleships and armored
cruisers now under construction than was
called for in contracts with the two COM
panies.
The Navy Department ascertained that
II the armor makers did not make heav-
ier deliveries than the contracts required
there would be great delay in finishing
the new armorclads. In their letters to
Rear Admiral O'Neil both companies say
that they believe they will be able to do
all that is desired by the Navy Depart
ment and are glad to do it. They ex-
press confidence in their ability to furnish
500 tons each a month instead of only 2OJ
n month each for the first year and 300
tons month each for subsequent years.
1t is estimated at the Navy Department
that deliveries at this rate Will prevent
any delay in the completion of battle
ships and armored cruisers, as all the
armor required will be delivered within
three years, the contract period for COM
pleting the huils of the vessels.
The department is particularly graft
fed over the willingness of the armor
cnmpanies to make additional deliveries.
as there was some fear that the strike
among the steel workers might affect the
armOr plate mills.

FOREIGN CHARGES DENIED.
Italians Hurt in nm Indiana Wreck
Given Every Attention.

Governor Durbin of Indiana, has re-
piled to the request of the State Depart
ment for information concerning the
treatment of Italian subjects, some of
whom were killed and others injured in
a recent wreck on the Wabash Railroad
at Cass, Ind. 1t was reported to the
State Department, upon behalf of the
Italian Government, that the injured had
been denied the right of seeing any of
their countrymen, and especially the
Italian Consul at Chicago. and that no
opportunity had been afforded to identify
the dead. Governor Durbin, therefore,
has forwarded a report which DIR. More
house, the surgeon in charge of the hos
pital at Peru, Ind, where the injured
were taken. made to President Emory,
of the Wabash road. This document
tends to refute all the alleged charges.
DR.. Morehouse says that the Italians
had every care and that while the person
claiming to be a representative of the
Italian Government sent by the Italian
Consul at Chicago could not produce any
credentials and was recognized as a we'll
known railroad claims agent. he was per
mitted to see and speak with every in
jured individual Furthermore, DR..
Morehouse says. the railroad company
employed an interpreter to see the injured
Italians and ascertain If they needed any
thing.
In his complaint to the State Depart
ment on the subject the Italian Charge
d d'Affaires in Washington said that the
bodies of the eight Italians who were
killed in the wreck were hastily buried
before they could be examined or identi-
fed. DR.. Morchouse denies this He says
that. on the contrary. a photograph was
taken of the face of each corpse, and to
make Identification complete es pos
sihle, the names of some not being known
tc ? certainty, each body was numbered
and attached to the photograph was a de-
Scription of the man, with marks of
identification, belongings, etc, noted
In view of these explanations the State
Department is inclined to regard the ac-
cusations against the railroad officials as
entirely unwarranted. a copy of the
communications from Governor Durbin
and DIR. Morehouse will be transmitted to
the Italian Charge d 'Affaires here.

SETTLING CHINESE AFFAIRS.
Foreign Rule in Pckin to Be'Termi-
mated August II.

The Special Commissioner to China, w.
w. Rockhill, has informed the State De-
partment that the formal turning over
of Pekin to the Chinese authorities will
probably take place on August IA. This
will be just one year after the allies took
possession of the Chinese capital and the
anniversary of the flight of the Imperial
Court to Singan-fu.
Mr.. Rockhill also announces that the
indemnity. fixed at 45O.0ea,e9O taels with
interest at per cent annually until paid,
has been formally accepted by the Pow
ers. He confirms the report that China
had waived her request for preferential
treatment in the payment Of indemnity.
Mr.. Rockhill says in his despatch that
the diplomatic body at Pekin is engaged
in considering the Russian proposal foc
the eventual increase of the maritime
customs and remarks conservatively,
that a solution of the problem is now
hoped for. This statement Is not quite
understood here, the word eventual"
causing confusion in the minds of those
concerned. 1t is supposed, however. that
Russia has now modified her original
proposition to increase the maritime Gus
toms tariff 10 per cent 50 as to provide
that, If per cent increase favored by
the maritime nations is not sufficient to
eEable China to meet her indemnity OBJ
legations to the Powers. there shall be an
increase in the tariff to 10 per cent.
Russias object in desiring "A heavy
increase is well understood. With no
prospect of an international guaran-
tee of the Chinese indemnity bonds,
Russia. with the necessity confront
ing her of disposing of her share of
the bonds at a discount, desires to have
every as ;urance that China will not de-
fault in payment. Such assurance would
enable Russia to dispose of her bonds at
better figures. the danger being less that
the purchasers of the bonds would be
obliged to depend On Russia for their re-
demption If China should default
