CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, NOV. is, 1891.
TIME FOR ACTION.

The dispatches in today's paper con
corning the consolidation of all the great
railways of the northwest are of serious
import to the people of Montana. Under
the competitive system the railroads
have practically been given free hand
in Montana in the hope that their natu-
raj rivalry for business would more
quickly develop the states resources.
But with all competition between the
different lines wiped out, Montana is
face to face with new problem.
1t is not to be supposed that under
the new conditions any radical steps will
be taken by the railroads; on the con
trary, they will no doubt seek to allay
opposition and popular disapproval in
every way possible. Rates will not be
suddenly advanced, and such changes as
are made will be most gradual and cir
cumspect. The prosperity of the roads
will depend largely upon the prosperity
of the states which they traverse, and
they are not going to kill the goose that
lays the egg but corporations partakc
of the selishness of human nature with
none of the generous impulses of the
individual, and Montana cannot afford
to rest in fancied security with her wei
fare in the hands of this giant corpor-
alton.
The people who own the roads are
going to run them to make money, and
as the ownership may change for the
worse at any time, the people Of Montana
must protect their own interests. Rail
road corporations are creatures Of the
law and are quasi public institutions,
and as such should be under the super
vision Of proper tribunals selected by
the people.
Montana should have state railroad
commission selected by the people, with
full power to regulate transportation
charges and all matters pertaining tc
railroads, such commission to be sup
ported by a tax collected from the cor
porations which it is designed tocontrol

ADvIcEs FROM MANILA.
Twelve American Soldiers Attacked BY 40
Insurgents In the Island Of Samar- Sur
render Of Insurgents In Cebu.

Manila, Nov. 1.-Advices just re-
ceived here from Catbalogan, island
of Samar, say that ~ men of COM
pany G, Of the Ninth infantry, under
command Of Sergt. Willford, who had
been sent from Bassy to San Antonio
to investigate and report in regard
to the number of bolomen in the Vi
cinity, were viciously attacked by 40
insurgents, who rushed on them with
great violence, killing two Of the SOL
diers and wounding two others. WILL
ford remained cool and collected dur
ing the attack and the survivors say
he acted splendidly. Fourteen Of the
insurgents were killed. Capt. Book
miller, of company G, recommends
Willford for a medal of honor and
Privates Swanton and Vero for certi-
ficates Of merit.
Gen. Hughes reports the complete
surrender of the insurgents in the
island Of Cebu, consisting Of $50 men
and go officers, with $50 rifles and
eight brass field pieces.
The pouring Of troops into the is
land of Samar is believed to have had
a good effect on the Cebu insurgents,
who had been wavering for some
time. The malcontents kept up the
conflict by saying that majority of
the American troops had left the
Philippines.

INCENDIARY FIRE.


Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 31.-One Of
the tiercest fires that has occurred in
Kansas City in a long time broke out
last night in the northeast yard Of
the Kansas City Lumber company.
From the time it was first discovered
at $3.50 o'clock last night until one
o'clock this morning, it dehed the eff
forts of the firemen to master II and
continued to burn steadily, complete
ly destroying the large stock of lum-
Der which was stored in the yard.
The loss was about $4,000. The fire
was started by incendiafies, after an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
to burn the plant Of the Interstate
Glass company, Immediately west of
the yard. The fire at the glass plant
was discovered and extinguished be-
fore il had made any Roadway.

WARNING TO THE PORTE.


Paris, Nov. THE decision I'd
make a naval demonstration against
Turkey was taken at meeting OF
the cabinet Tuesday at which NJ Del
casse, the minister of foreign affairs,
explained the sultan's procrastination
regarding the French demands. The
newspapers approve the governments
decision. The Journel des Debats
says "Every one at Constantnople
and the other capitals must be aware
that France and Russia are complete
ly In accord on this matter. Under
these circumstances, it is difficult to
believe that the Ottoman govern
ment will not come to its senses and,
recognizing its error before 1t is too
late, relieve us Of the necessity Of
using other means than those Of d.
plomacy and courteous discussion"
Late last night q dispatch was re-
ceived saying that the French squad
ron had returned to Toulon and an
chored in the roadstead. If the dis
patch be correct II would imply that
the government has received news
from Constantinople since morning
which has not yet been divulged and
which has induced change of plan.

THE CAPTIVE MISSIONARY.


London, Nov. 1.-"Miss Stones re-
lease is not likely to be effected with
in week." says dispatch from
Sofia to the Daily Telegraph. "Mr.
Dickinson, in the name of the United
States government, has given an as
surance that neither the receivers of
the ransom nor Miss Stones guides
will be prosecuted. He asserts that
Turkey agreed fortnight ago to re-
imburse the ransom"
A dispatch from Constantinople
says the Turkish government is al
ready preparing to resist the an
ticipated demand of the United
States for repayment of the ransom
necessary to secure the release of
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the abducted
American missionary. The porte
repudiates all responsibility for the
kidnapping and maintains that the
United States has no claim against
Turkey and that, therefore, the lat
ter is justified in refusing to recoup
the United States for the money ex-
pended in her rescue.

DEVASTATED BY FIRE.
Twenty Three Baslness Houses Burned In
the Town Of Timm0nsville, l. C.-Two
Merchants Charged with Ars0n.

Columbia, s. C., Oct. 3l.-Twenty.
three business houses, composing the
heart Of the town of Timm0nsville,
were burned early yesterday morn
ing. There was an explosion in the
gtore of Smith & Dennis that aroused
the town and then the flames burst
out. There was NO apparatus for
fighting the fire. One block OF ten
brick stores, including the Bank of
Timmonsville, is in the burned dis
trict. The loss is conservatively
placed at 100000, with less than one
third insurance.
A sensational feature developed
late in the evening, when W. +. Den
mis-, OF Smith & Dennis, general mer-
chants, was arrested on charge OF
arson. Smith had left the town when
citizens called at his place. Because
of the peculiar manner in which the
fire started suspicion rested on these
men and search of their premises
revealed boxes of goods, shoes, etc.,
stacked in their houses and barns.
It is supposed these goods were re-
moved from their store before the
fire.

ton of perjury in entries of land I'M
der the timber and stone act, which

edge that the entries were invalid.
The commissioner says that II this is

witnesses at hearings on reports Of
special land agents involving the
validity of entries of public land; re-
peal OF several laws relating to tim
Der on unrcserved public lands and
the enactment of general law to

and other parties in need thereof,
and at the same time preserve the
forests for the use Of future genera
tons; extensions of the forest fire act
to meet the various causes OF fires
and overcome the danger from every
source; modification OF the act per-
hitting ordering Of lands within for
est reservations for those without by
a proviso that the relinquished tract
has not been unnecessarily changed,
that the lands shall be Of approx
mately the same value and rejecting
such selections for land returned as
agricultural, II before approval 1t Is
found to be mineral; withdrawal OF
all public lands more valuable for
forest uses than for other purposes
from settlement, entry sale and other
dlspotition and holding them for
the protection and utilization of their
timber: establishment of national
parks to preserve prehistoric ruins
petrifed forests, caves and for other
purposes; appropriation OF at least

public timber and for protection Of
public lands from unlawful entry OF
appropriation and $4,000 to protect
timber on unreserved lands against
fires; protection Of fish and game in
