HorticuIturists Meet.
MiSSOulian:

MlSSOullan:
The next annual meeting of the
Montana Horticultural society will
b held in kalispell Feb. 21, % and %,
and the fruit raisers of the state are
endeavoring to make it the most rep
resentative gathering of the kind ever
held in montana. Members of the
tlathead Horticultural society are
making preparations for the entertain
ment OF guests, and to insure fine
display have arranged to offer as u
premium for the best four varieties OF
apples handsome silver cup valued
at $50. A musical entertainment and
banquet will be feature of the meet
ings. Mr.. II. T.. Dosch secretary of
the Oregon board of horticulture, and
representatives from the Northern Pa
enc and Great Northern railways will
be present. Special hotel and rail
road rates have been arranged.
Attention is called to this meeting
for the reason that the fruit industry
of Montana is assuming proportions
which are attracting great deal OF
attention. The time is not far dis
tant when Montana will rank as one
of the greatest apple producing states
in the union. Our local markets now
consume about all the apples raised
and there are those who fear that so
many are going into the fruit raising
that the surplus can not be disposed
of, but that is foolish fear. Through
the efforts of the State Horticultural
society and enthusiastic orchardists
the fame of the Montana apple is
spreading. In time Hamilton, Stev.
ensville, Missoula, Plains, Kalispell
and other places in the fruit belt
will become great shipping centers
and the Montana apple will be rs
much in demand in New York and 9th
er eastern cities as it is in Butte and
Helena. This prediction many o.
our readers will see verified.
The annual meetings of the Montana
HORTICULTURAL society are beneficial
for through them knowledge of ths
best varieties of fruits to raise is es
tablished, and all matters pertaining
to preservation, care in packing, etc.
, are learned. All of our fruit grower!
who possibly can should attend thu
meeting at Kalispell. The interes
that railroads are taking in horticul
ture should convince that they see il
the future great industry which the,
propose to foster and encourage.

A generation ago the universal Gu

A generation ago the universal Gus
tom in western New York was to
make the Christmas turkey as drunk
as possible just before he was killed.
The brandy with which the bird was
made tipsy gave a flavor unequalled
bv italian chestnut or any later i'm
provement, and even the flesh of the
hardened old gobbler became tender.
The turkey drunk was a great occa-
sion and was witnessed by all the
family and all the guests.

EXTRA SESSION PERHAPS.
The Ship Subsidy Bill, Hanna's Pet
Measure, Must Be Passed.

Washington, an. 25.-An extra ses-
sion of congress looms up as inevita-
BILE. Spurred on by the adminisra.
tion, the republican senators compos-
ing the steering committee are hust-
ling to clear the decks and avoid the
necessity OF special session. But a
combination of circumstances is
thwarting their best efforts.
The legislative hopper is oyerfilled
with bills which must be passed within
the remaining thirty legislative days.
The leaders of the senate are busy
today discussing the newly arisen ex-
igencies and find themselves confront
ed with the possibility of an extra
session. The democrats are contrib
uting to make such connection me-
cessary.
Hitherto the champions of the shit
ping bill have disclaimed any desire
to favor an extraordinary session. But
they now claim openly that unless the
ship subsidy bill is passed this ses-
sion the president will be induced to
convene the Fifty-seventh assembly
before the regular session in Decem-
ber.
The ostensible excuse for this call
will be to act upon the Cuban con-
stitutional convention. It has become
evident that the Cuban delegates will
be unable to present the frame work
of their Independent government un-
til after the life of the present con-
gress expires. It is equally certain
Great Britain will not forward its re.
ply to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
amendments until after adjournment
and in view of the ironclad agree
ment there can be no Nicaraguan leg
islation this session.

Helena, Jan. 28.-The house session
was short today. All the afternoon
was given up to committee meetings.
The chief business before the house
proper was the passage of the Powell
county bill. It now goes to the senate
for concurrence. The eight-hour bill
also is before the senate where it has
been referred to the committee on
mines and mining. 1t will come up
for consideration at 1880 tomorrow
evening. At the same hour several
school bills will come up before the
senate committee on education. The
senate had hot session this after
noon, two lively debates being intro
duced into the deliberations in the
committee of the whole. One was
on Stantons fellow servant BILL which,
despite Stanton's protests was referred
to the committee on corporations other
than municipal, after being favorably
passed by the judiciary committee.
Before the latter committee have ap-
peared the representatives of the sew
eral railway corporations urging
against the passage of the bill. The
other debate in the senate was on Cul-
lens bill, providing that Jurors sum-
moned and required to attend upon
courts shall be paid. Senator Meyer
made a fight against the BILL but final
ly lost. The committee of the whole
will report the bill favorably.

AS the tale is told out of the court,
lit is claimed that Ringwald was work
ing for Clark in the matter of the brib-
cry investigation at Washington for
three weeks before he went down to
the national capital and that he has
contracts in writing, cipher kilograms
and other data, which show that he
was one of the push and has some
thing coming. The visit of Ringwald
to Washington occurred just about a
year ago and Great Falls was elec-
trifed as it hardly ever was before
sometimes when Mr.. Ringwald flash
ed before the Investigating committee
at Washington and told things which
will live in history SO long as the rec
shall endure. 1t is safe to say that
the testimony of Ringwald created
more comment among his acquaintan-
ces in Great Falls than did the testi-
mony of Clark himself, and it seems
too bad that he has not been able to
get all that is coming to him. The
celebrated conversation with White
side, which Mr.. Ringwald testified to,
was said to have been pulled off at
Havre or near Chinook, or somewhere
up north, during a hurled trip which
Mr.. Whiteside was making across the
country.

PREPARED FOR TROUBLE.
Soldiers Anticipate Trouble With the
Indians.

Kansas City, an. 2S.-A special to
the Star from Henrietti says: Chitto
Harjo the Creek captured yesterday is
a prisoner here surrounded by soldiers
The arrest of Harjo means either the
immediate ending of the threatened
uprising, or the opening of hostilities,
probably the former. This morning
the camp guard loaded their carbines
to be ready for instant action and no
soldier is allowed to leave camp. it
is rumored that Harjo's light horse
men will be in Henrietta today for
the purpose of holding a council and
the order to prepare for action was
given the soldiers in order to be ready
for treachery on the part of the In
dians.

srouno the supreme court decision
affecting the status OF the island
possessions. which may demand i'm
mediate attention from congress. To
cap the climax, the war tax bill as re-
ported by the senate committee in
vites a great deal of hostility in the
house. and the possibility of the en-
actment of war tax reduction legisla-
tion is farther removed by the certain
ty of a deadlock in conference be-
tween the senate and house. The SEN
ate reduction bill is torally different
from that passed by the house and is
regarded by the members of the lat
ter as offensive and inequitable.
President Mckinley and the men,
bers of his cabinet today discussed at
length the peculiar situation which
confronts congress. He is opposed
to calling an extra session if that al
tentative can be evaded by recourse
to heroic action.
Although the president wishes to
see the shipping bill enacted, he does
not believe it is of sufficient import
ance to require a special session. New
ertheless the administration shares
the opinion that Cuba should not he
prevented from instituting it's indie
pendent government for indefinite sea-
son while the drafted constitution CON
vention awaits ratification by congress
Moreover the sentiment of the coun-
try demands the construction of an
isthmian canal as soon as possible
now that the obstacles save the treaty
with Great Britain have been removed.
These arguments and many others
are being employed to curry sentiment
for an extra session.
A deadlock between the two houses
of congress is in sight with the war
reduction tax bill as the issue. Al
though the senate bill reported from
committee does not exceed the amount
Of reduction authorized in the house,
the character of the senate bill is to-
tally different.
The senate committee replaced the
tax on bank checks, drafts, bills of eX-
change, postal money orders and many
other things. 1t likewise repeals the
stamp taxes, repeals the tax on com
mercial brokers and abolishes other
features which were present in the
house bill. The members of the low
er house are loud today in protesting
tnat they will not agree to the sub
stitute offered by the senate.
Resolutions are being hurled at con
gress from many state legislatures,
including Illinois, calling upon that
body to amend the constitution so as
provide for the abolition of the pres
ent election system for United States
senators and to place the privilege OF
electing them in the hands of the
people direct. The Utah, Nebraska,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania squab-
bes show how the public will is
thwarted and defied. The reelection
of Quay of Pennsylvania, is especially
a commentary upon the prevailing sys-
tenn, because of the loud protestations
from citizens opposed to the political
boss.
