DEATH OF CHRIS MAGE

Senator Quay's Bitter Political Enemy
Dies ut Harrisburg.
Pittsburg, March 11.--State Senator
Christopher Lyman Magee, Republic
an political leader Of Pittsburg, is dead
at his Harrisburg home. For two years
he had been suffering from cancer,
which attacked him during the excit-
ing fight against the reelection Of
United States Senator Matthew S.
Quay. He ignored the advice of ply
sicians to go where he could rest and
be cured. He thought the anti-Quay-
ties needed his personal services to
direct the 9ght.
When the legislature had adjourned
Magee had prevented Quay's return to
the senate, but the disease had gone
so far that it was incurable. His death
was fastened by the passage of Quay's
charter bill ripping" Magee's friends
out of office.
The bill, which gives Pittsburg and
Allegheny new charters, was passed
last Thursday. Magee worried SO
much over it that his health took a
sudden turn for the worse. and he had
been sinking ever since. Few knew
of this until now. With him when he
died were Mrs. Magee and other rela
tives who had been summoned.

Helena. Mont, March 9.-At $3.50 in
the morning, although the legislative
clock testified that it was not yet mid
night, Paris Gibson of Great Falls, a
strong Democrat, was elected United
States senator for the term expiring
March 4, 1905. For almost the en-
tire term of the life of the legislature
that body had been voting daily for

day, at noon, the joint assembly met
as usual and took one ballot, adjourn
ing until D. M, for further ballot
ing. After taking few votes with

sembly took a recess until II o'clock.
at which time began the session end
ing with the election of Mr.. Gibson.
III. l.. Frank Withdraws.
In all twenty-five ballots were taken
during the day. At the conclusion OF
the twenty-frst ballot III. L. Frank,
who was the leading fusion candidate,
announced his withdrawal from the
contest in favor of Mr.. Gibson. who
had not up to that time had more than
nominal following. Mr.. Gibson's
high character and unblemished repu-
tation commended him to fusion men,
bers, and there was stempede to him
OH the next ballot, he receiving the
required number of votes, seven OF
!! which were furnished by the wing of
the Democratic party known as the
DAILY faction. Mr.. Gibson was born
in New Hampshire, July 1, 1880, and
was educated at Bowdoin college,
graduating in the class of 1851. He
also operated the North Star Wooden
mills of that city.
Watefpower Enterprise.
He came to Montana in 1879, locat-
| ing in Fort Benton, in the stock buSi-
| ness. In 1882 he became interested in
the possibilities of the waterpower
that could be developed by the falls
| of the Missouri river at the site Of the
| present city of Great Falls, of which
| he is called the father. He laid his
plans and hopes before James J. Hill,
| who Joined him in the enterprise, and
the result was the growth of a city Of
12,0O0 on the prairies by the side Of
| the vast waterpower. Mr.. Gibson was
a member of the state constitutional
the state legislature.
AS the Sergeant-at-armS was about
| to turn the hands of the clock back
at midnight, one of the Republican
| members Gregory of Carbon county,
| tried to stop him in order to prevent
| the election. In the struggle the time
record for fast fighting was broken,
along with the clock.

that it must have been granted ON the
solicitation of the Beers, and take the
view that Kitchener would never have
consented to it unless he felt practical
ly sure it would result in an impor-
tant advance toward the termination
of hostilitles.
The Daily Chronicle says that Botha
was in close place and that the terms
offered by Kitchener were that gen
eral amnesty would be granted to all
who surrender, as we'll as to all pris-
oners except those Cape Dutch who,
being British subjects, had actively TO
mented Boer resistance. DeWet and
Steyn WERE however, expressly eX'
Guided from the amnesty; that If peace
were concluded the government would
assist in rebuilding the farm houses
and other buildings destroyed under
military exigencies, would reinstate
the lawful owners, and would help
them stock their farms. DeWet and
Steyn both remained irreconcilable.
They declined any terms, DeWet add
ing that on his part the war had be-
come one of revenge and he intended
to do all the mischief he could.

MINING SCALE TO STAY
Notices Posted in Some of the <ollerieS in

Notices Posted i'm Some of the <ollerieS in
Pennsylvania.
Scranton, Pa, March 11.-General
superintendent Rose of the Delaware
and Hudson Coal company ordered the
posting of notice at all the COM
pany'S mines in the Lackawanna and
Wyoming valleys to the effect that the
present rate of wages paid to all mine
employees will continue in force until
April, 1902.
At the office of General Superinten-
dent LOOMS of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company it was
stated that similar notice will be is
sued and Captain May, general SUI
perintendent Of the Hillside Coal and
Iron company fhe Erie railroads min
ing interests said that his company
will follow the action taken by the
others. The Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany and the Ontario and Western
Railroad company will also post no.
tees the early part of next week.
All this is taken as an indication
that the big coal producing companies
will not be represented at the Halle
ton conference next week. and that
they are a unit in favor of letting the
present conditions remain, thus avert
ing the possibility of clash with the
miners over the wage question.

San Juan, Porto Rico, March O.
mobs of enraged natives terrorized the
city for hours Thursday evening be-
cause a 10-year-old Porto Rican girl
had been reprimanded in school by the
American superintendent. They surged
through the streets shouting Down
with the Americans!'' Death to the
usurpers!" and other incendiary SEN
timents, and 1900 of them. after ston-
ing Superintendent Armstrong as he
left the school, besieged him in the
intendencia building, where he
sought refuge.
At p. N. the situation having be-
come serious, Corporal Hiscock and
five artillerymen, acting without or
ders, charged across the plaza, fired a
volley into the air and rescued the be-
leaguered official. For this the corporal
has been arrested. 1t is probable he
will be court martialed.
All is quiet in San Juan now.

Committee Will Make Report on the Plat
Resolution.
Havana, March AT a private
it was decided to continue the work OF
that body, and not to dissolve, as was
previously suggested. 1t was also de
cided that the committee which drew
up the report of the relations to eNis.
between Cuba and the United S ut S

Meanwhile the delegates will Lave
time to think over the position.
II is considered that time IS CT the
side of the more conservative Gee
gates. though the radicals claim thQi
the convention will not accept tle
Platt resolution. Some OF the radicals
think that congress may yet Chan -
the Platt resolution, notwithstanding
the clear statement from General
Wood that the resolution is now las.
A number Of the delegates have sent
word to their constituents to make
demonstrations in their support. This
is being done, and it may tend to con-
firm the delegates in their present IN
yielding position, even though they
would wish to change later.

Delaware Legislature Adjourns with the
Deadlock Unbroken.
Dover. Del, March 9.-The last day
of the present session of the legisla-
ture brought large crowd to Dover.
Promptly at II O'Clock the senate
entered the house chamber, where the
joint session of the two houses was
held. There was intense excitement
when the presiding officer called for
the ballot for United States senator.
The vote for the full term resulted:
Kenney (Dem.), %; Addicks (Union
Rep), 1S; Dupont Irregular Rep, T;
Higgins regular Rep.), 6; necessary
to choice, q. The ballot for the short
term resulted: Salisbury, %; Addicks,
%; Richards (regular Rep.), Z.
The two houses at 1922 o'clock sep
arated by vote of 80 to %. and the
senatorial ballot was at an end with
a double deadlock as the result. On
the motion to separate the seven regu-
lar Republicans who have steadfastly
refused to vote for Addicks voted with
the twenty-three Democrats. Forty
five ballots have been taken in Joint
session since the ballCting began on
Jan. 16.

Dust and Ashes and Blood-Red Rain tho
Cause.
Rome, March ia terrible Afri-
can wind swept over Italy. All south
ern and central Italy was in it's bane-
full grasp. The air, hot and enervat-
ing, was laden with sand and dust.
Since early morning Rome has been
enveloped in a suffocating cloud of
dust which for centuries has been tbs
bane and terror of countries border
ing on the Mediterranean sea. AT
Avellino, Naples, Sorrento, Caserta
and many other points fell showers of
what appeared to be dust and ashes.
While the scOrching, parching winds
blew the heavens were afiame with an
CRY color, making a spectacle at once
awful and terror-inspiring. The
whole of Sicily was visited by blood
colOred rains. At Rome the sky was
yellow; at Naples red. The inhabi-
tants are terror stricken. In Naples
every one of the churches was packed
with frightened and superstitious peO-
pie, frantically beseeching the saints
for protection. Some dreadful disas-
ter is looked for the red sandstorm ac-
cording to popular belief, always pres
aging some mighty calamity.
A dispatch from Palermo, Sicily,
says: The "blood-rain' is falling all
over Sicily. 1t is an infrequent phe-
nomena here and is terror-inspiring.
The rain drops resemble coagu,ated
blood. They are thick with blood-red
dust which is probably swept UP from
