she will be tied up in the strike there
for an indefinite period, as she has an
immense cargo for that port, besides
having taken on considerable for the
Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Morse the To-
cal agent of the Americana Hawaiian
Steamship Company. is of the opinion
that the long looked for vessel will
not arrive here for several weeks un-
less the backbone of the strike is soon
broken. Most of the structural mate

the larger part of the structural parts
of the new Levers & Cooke building.
She arrived at San Francisco from New
York via Montevideo, Straits of Ma
gellan and Coronel, in seventy-three
days, bringing 1000 tons of cargo. She
would have arrived ten days earlier
had it not been for a slight defect in
the machinery Whlch competed Cdp-
tain Williams TO put into Montevldeo
for repairs. The work was done by the
vessels crew and she got away again
after four days stop. In consequence
of the delay, the Californian, which left
New York twenty days after the Ore
gonian, was only ten days behind her
at Coronel. The Oregonian arrived at
Coronel on July Is and passed the Pa
cific steamer Talca hard and fast on a
pinnacle of rock at the entrance of the

BISHOP FOWLER IN MONTANA.

That was an involuntary though none
the less gracious compliment paid his
genius and magnetism last night when
the large audience in attendance at
Bishop Fowler's lecture on ''the great
deeds of great men," pleaded with
silence for a continuance of his words,
and were only awakened from the rev.
erie of the ratorical feast upon his OBJ
serving, THAT is all, my friends"
Bishop Fowler must realize, as no flat
terry Of speech could impress him, the
deep and abiding esteem and admiration
in which he is held by the people of
Montana. His charming personality, not
less than his talents, virtues and SUI
perb intellectual attachments, cndears
him to everyone with whom he comes
into contact
1t is to be hoped that he will prolong
his visit, far beyond the limits set for
the work at the Missoula and Ealispell
conferences, and afford Butte all oppor-
tunity of paying him second compli-
ment of a nature which though it could
not be more sincere, might be more vo-
ciferous than that of last night.

GOOD PRICE FOR WOOL.

Reports from the wool markets Of the
state contain figures that are gratifying
to all residents of Montana who enter
tanned hopes that the price of wool at the
opening of the season would be improved
as the sales progressed. At Billings and
Great Falls the average market price
has steadily increased, and in several in
stances choice lots have brought over Is
cents per pound. Reports appear to in
dictate an upward tendency of the market
and there is every reason to believe that
toward the end of the season wool prices
ent time.
Montana easily leads all the other
states in the union in the production OF
wool. The total production of the state
this year will be over twenty-five mill
lion dollars. Added to this will be the
amount received from the sale of the
lambs and mutton. The total amour,
of the receipts from the sheep industry
Of the state this year will be over foul

time is generally believed to be as high
as conditions warrant, and, all thing.

IS TRANCE IN DANGER?

Another dreadful conspiracy has been
unearthed in France. The Napoleonic
passion of the coup d'etat is enjoying it's
periodic outburst. and that incorrigible
demagogue and marplot, Paul Deroulede,
recently saved from exile. or worse, by
republican clemency is the chief cook of
the noisome revolutionary stew. Prince
Louis Napoleon, soon to be elevated to
a generalship in the Russian army, is
to be escorted to the Elysee immediate
ly after his Russian promotion and pro-
claimed emperor. A very pretty pro-
gramme for the irrepressible Deroulede,
but destined to fail like so many of the
opera bouffe affairs in which he has
played the part of the revolutionary buff
1oon.
The French republic was never so
stable as now. War is it's only menace.

reult probably in the overthrow of the
government. Its chief weakness, grow
ing out of the exigencies of naval and
military defense. is an increasing
debt with a stagnation of growth in
population. Even should the republic ex-
pire in continental struggle. it is by no
means certain that the house Of the Cor
sican would be preferred by the throne
makers to that of Orleans. Although
Russia doubtless would favor Prince
Louis as emperor ally, England, Ger
many and Austria would be false to
tradition and interest did they not re-
new the monarchy where Louis PHILIPPE

legend is not so blindly attractive to the

SIMPSONS FATAL CONFESSION.

Happily the day of duelling in the
United States is past, or a tragedy would
be the inevitable consequence of the dis
honorable conduct of which Rear Ad-
miral Sampson boasts in his interview
with the Boston Transcript. The dis
tinguished Stephen Decatur lost his life
OH the field of honor for a dislike of
Commodore Barron, never displayed so
meanly as has Sampson exhibited his
envy of Schley's valorous record at San
tiago.
Sampson could scarcely have realized
how irretrievably he lowered himself in
the estimation of his countrymen, in ad-
hitting that he was responsible for the
malicious statements made in Maclays
history; that he read and approved in the
original proofs the charge that Schley
was a coward, liar, an incompetent, an
irsubordinate and caitiff, knowing
the proofs would not be submitted to
superior officer in the American navy
was unspeakably dishonorable; worse
than that pusillanimous; and indicates
want of dignity and manliness that is
impossible of definition. Schley's forth
tude and reticence, under the circum-
stances, is the attitude of hero con-
scious of the justice which will be his
eventual reward.
No doubt can any longer exist that
Maclay served the malicious designs Of a
clique in the navy, headed by Sampson
himself. A more daring and foolish at
tempt to despoil the fame and tarnish the
| reputation of brave sailor was never
made. Whatever the historian OF the
future may do toward rescuing Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS name from obliquity
he may never hope to escape the con.
tempt of all honorable men who lived
through the events of his own time.
