CAPT. TILLEY's COURT-MARTIAL.
One of the Charges Dropped by the
Court.


A dispatch from Tutuila. November 70
via San Francisco. November 25 says: on
the morning of November 5 the United
States steamship Wisconsin arrived I'm the
harbor. 1t was announced that Admiral
Casey had been ordered TO Page Page to
convene a court-martial on Captain B. f.
Ttlley, the commandant Of the station
The news was received with great sur
prise by the Samoan people. who had been
making extensive preparations during the
past month to welcome Captain Tilley on
his return.
On November the Sonoma arrived, with
Captain Tlley and Mrs Tiiiey on board
The Samoans OF Page Page had built a
huge catamaran of native trees, on which
was bower decorated with evergreens
and flowers. Flags and streamers were
flying from the masts. They approached
the steamer with this immense raft and
Captain and Mrs. Tilley descended 20 IL
whence they We're rowed ashore, while
songs or welcome. composed for the occa-
sion, were sung. Upon landing at the Gus
tom house there was large crowd to meet
the captain. who was loudly cheered by
whites and natives Captain TflIey at once
resumed his office as commandment
The Solace arrived on November T. with
Admiral Evans and the officers of the
court-martial. The Abarenda which had
been dispatched to Apia to bring witnesses
IoT the prosecutor returned the same day.
AT U pm. of the same day Captain Tilley
was formally served with a copy of the
charges and specifications and was ordered
TO deliver up his sword
Inc trial OF Captain Tilley began on Sat-
urday, November Q. The most important
witness was DR.. Blackwell. He testified
tnat about 1880 pm. and toward midnight
ne once saw Captain Tilley lying down out
SIDE his cabin door undergoing Samoan
massage treatment. This treatment is very
common here with whites, as well as ma
tive chiefs.
The prosecution closed its case on Mon
DAY. November IL, rather earlier than was
expected. Tuesday the defense began, the
chief witnesses being Lieutenant Richardson
or the Abarenda and Judge Guerr. The
trial Is expected to close tomorrow.
1t appears that Admiral Casey, after due
investigation. dropped the charges of NAL
administration against Captain Tilley.
Upon receipt of official information of the
death OF President Mckinley an impressive
memorial service was held at Page Page.

Philadelphia Crowd Cheers Schley.
A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says: Rear Admiral Schley, who. with his
wife, arrived here today to remain until
tomorrow as the guest Of Col. A. X. Nc
C1ure, was the center OF an enthusiastic
demonstration at the Broad street station
Of the Pennsylvania railroad when the
Washington express rolled into the big
train shed. More than thousand per-
sons were congregated in the station to see
the admiral, and when he stepped from the
train the crowd set up a wild cheer. The
people massed around him, and 1t was with
much difficulty that the police opened
passageway for him to leave the station.
Tonight the admiral, Mrs Schley and par
ty occupied box at the Chestnut Street
Opera House as the guest of Sir Henry

According to these extracts French mis-

market is all that is necessary to make
the agriculturalist prosperous. While
he spends his money in his home town,
pays taxes there, educates his children
and is identified with local enterprises,
much of his wealth or meansi is realized
from his products, which are consumed
in the larger markets which they
finally reach. This being the case,
our Montana ranchmen now and for
some time TO come see the necessity OF
putting much that they can raise into
cattle in order to reach the larger mar
kets.
1t is possible that the views of the
most optomistic may be realized, and
that some day Montana farmers will be
shipping wheat barley and oats east
and west TO reach markets thousands
of miles away. But this must be done
in competition with states east and
west that have long been noted for
grain raising, where labor is almost
fifty per cent cheaper and where irri-
CATION is not necessary. Possibly this
Is being done now to some extent in
the older settled Gallatin valley.
The day may ome when good profit
will be found in the business, but it
is a good ways ahead of us, and while
we are waiting for it let us do the best
can.

ecumenical conference in City Roads
chapel, founded by John Wesley, the
father of Methodism. This is the

thirty years. The first one was held
at London and the second at WASH

are present from the several Metho-
dist bodies of the United States.
Bishop Galloway of the Methodist
church, South, of the United States,
preached the opening service. The
topics to be discussed embrace almost
every question that is of vital inter-
est to Methodists, including as they
do matters of faith, doctrine and
practice. The most distinguished
diyines and laymen Of the Methodist
bodies have been designated to read
papers, or to speak, and the confer

Pope Leo Sends an English Mes
sage.

HARTFORD. Sept. An event of
no inconsiderable Importance was the
fact that cablegram from the Pope
to the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union Convention, recently held at
Hartford, was in English. This is
the first time that Rome has consent
ed to use that language for official or
semi-official documents, and it is
regarded as a remarkable tribute to
the growing esteem in which the
Catholic church in America is held
by Leo XIII.
Heretofore missives of the kind
coming from the Vatican were couch
ed in Latin. Semi-ollicial documents
for the interior of Italy were fre-
quently written in Italian. Some.
years ago, after quite little conten-
ton and dispute, it was conceded to
the French clergy that the French lam
guage might also, in certain cases, be,
used as vehicle of communication
to and from the Vatican; but there
the line was drawn, and it was said
in Rome by fairly competent authori-
ty that these three languages-Latin,
Italian and French-would, for the
future, be the only tongues in which
authorities Of the Vatican would con-.
sent to emit and receive messages and
documents of any kind.
The reason given was that if other
languages were officially recognized, "a
STAFF Of expert interpreters in all the
languages of the human race would
be necessary in the Vatican, since the
Pope is spiritual ruler over represen-
tatives of practically every spoken
tongue. And furthermore, it was
explained that the three languages in
question were familiar to the Pope,
and that he always desired to have
important documents Of every kind
laid before him in their original
form.
The message in question is as fol-
lows:
Michael Tierney, Bishop, Hartford,
Con-, U. S. A.:
The Holy Father, accepting the
flial greetings of the Catholics of the
Total Abstinence Society, sends to
your Lordship and TO them the inn
plored blessing.
