the Company.
(By Associated Press.)

the firm of Henry Marquand & Co.,
bankers and brokers, was announced on
the stock exchange today.
The firm made an assignment to
Frank Sullivan Smith. The assignment
was without preferences No statement
of assets or liabilities was made.
The failure was without appreciab,e
effect on the stock market. Frank Sui

Of the firm shortly after 10 o'clock and
at once assumed charge.
He conferred with the members of the
firm and began a systematic investigl-
ton of it's books and impaired finances.
Mr.. Smith promised to make public a
statement later in the day.
The suspension had been anticipated,
for the events attendant upon the clos

STATE BOARD OF COMMISSION
ERS MAKES A RADICAL
CHANGE.
Each and Every Member of a Firm
or Of Family Can Not Obtain a
Section, So That Larger Tracts
May Be Taken Together
School SITES to BE
Especial to Inter Mountain }

Helena, June 1S.-The board of state
land commissioners has made a radical
change in the policy recently adopted
in regard to leasing state land.
1t had decided that when a firm had
leased section a member of the firm
could not lease another section. Now it
has decided to allow each member of the
firm to lease a section in his own name;
in the same way each member of family
can lease a section. SO that a family
as whole can lease large tract Of
as many sections as there are persons.
The board has also decided to sell
school district sites for school buildings
on school sections at the minimum price
of so per acre. Two acres is consid-
cred ample for a school site.
The board has received six applca.
tions to buy state land in Flathead
county. This land is being reappraised
and will probably not be sold at less
than $25 an acre.

The public prosecutor explained that

Among the witnesses called for the de-
fense was the Earl of Lonsdale. He
said he had been associated with box

CURIOUS MISTAKE Is MADE
Chinese officials Agree to Pay Great
er Indemnity Than Was De-
manded by the Powers.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 2S.-A curious dis
cre pancy concerning the amount of the
Chinese indemnities has developed by
which it appears that China has agreed
to pay about $4,000, 900 taels, or $24, 900, 900
more than the united demands of all the
powers.
Just how this occurred is not clear to
officials, but it appears to have been an
error of calculation at Pekin, in the first
place by those making up the indemni-
ties, and later by the Chinese in their
hasty acceptance Of the total.

Today's ceremonial was unheralded, but
crowds quickly gathered. The ceremony
began at st. James, where from the
purple draped balcony of the palace, the
Norroy king of arms, William Henry
Weldon, in brilliant uniform, accom-
panied by the heralds and pursuivants in
gorgeous dress and numerous state off,
Gals, read the proclamation.
At the appointed hour four state
trumpeters, lavishly adorned in gold en-
broidered tunics, appeared in front of the
balcony. BY their side stood the Norroy
king of arms, t1anked by two royal mac
ers, bearing gold maces, and surrounded
by the blue mantle (Gorgon Ambrose de
Llsle), the rouge dragon (Evard Green),
the Somerset Herald (Henry Farnnham
Burke), the York Herald (Alferd Scott
Gattly), and the Windsor herald (William
Alexander Lindsay, all in their full re-
gala, and the earl marshal CThe Duke
Of Norfolk). the lord steward (the Earl
Of Pembroke), the lord Chamberlain
the Earl of Clarendon) and the others.
The trumpeters sounded a protracted
fanfare and then the Norroy king of
of arms barred his head and read the
proclamation in clear voice, which
must have been audible to the royal
party occupying a stand on the grand
grounds of Marlborough house, facing
the balcony Of the palace.
king Edward wore an admirars uni
form. Queen Alexandria and others of
the royal party watched the ceremony
with the greatest interest, the king us
