tana Building company, is attending the
meeting. but will be unable to turn the
capitol building over to the state at this
meeting as had been expected he
would do.
3 Necessary delay in construction work
and inability to get material at different
times during the last year is responsible
for the delay.
= Not Occupied Until Spring.
The new state capitol building will be
occupied early in the spring. The con-
tractors have completed grading the
grounds and plans for the landscape
gardening have been perfected and will
be worked out early in the spring. The
building as it now stands is practically
complete Much of the interior decora-
lions is, however, still to be put in place.
The decorations large part of them. are
worked and painted on burlap and will
be attached to the walls. This plan is
regarded as much more satisfactory than
frescoing and painting on walls directly.
Whenever the walls crack from frost.
the decorations remain uninjured, If
worked on burlap.

There is some talk Of gliding the dome.
This will be an additional expense but
the commission will have ample funds
with which to complete the structure.
There is an item Of $4,000 in the budget
passed by the last legislature for stat
uary that may, and probably will be,
used for some other purpose, probably to
gild the DOME
All the heavy equipment of the struc-
ture is complete. The heating and cleo
trio light fixtures vaults and other heavy
fixtures are all in place.
The furniture contractors have COM

Helena, Dec. Robustness In Helena
has been excellent for the last week.
The holiday trade has commenced, al
though merchants have scarcely gotten
their holiday stock unpacked. During
the month of November the business
outlook was not good. The seasonable
weather is regarded as the best business
weather, and as result there was but
little doing with the dry goods and cloth
ing merchants. The snow, however, has
llvened things up, and many people have
commenced to do their Christmas shops
ping. From the indications at this time
there is every prospect that this years
business viii exceed by a large degree
that done last year.

Robillard Confessed the Crime.
Robllard was arrested for the crime
and confessed to it, but claimed self-de-
Tense. He said that Michel and Curley
had a fight and that Michel cut Curley
in the face and ran away. He (Robil-
lard) had been to Plains after a pack
age of nails, which he secured. He had
the package holding the nails strapped
to his saddle and they were working
through the cloth holding them. He
dismounted and had taken off his sad
die to secure blanket to wrap the nails
in when Michel returned, and, riding up
close to him, asked him why he had got
off his horse. If he wanted to fight he
would accommodate him. Believing his
life to be in danger he picked up a
stone and hurled it at Michel. The stone
struck Michel in the back Of the head
and knocked him from his horse This
confession was related by Charles Glib,
the first witness for the prosecution and
admitted against the objections of the
defense.
TRY to Prove Murder.
The prosecution is attempting to
prove deliberate murder on the part of
the defendant. and the evidence SO far
submitted goes far towards esta blishing
this theory.
The defense will attempt to prove self
defense. A number of witnesses for the
defense are half-breeds. The case will
probably go to the jury today.

POSTAL
SERVICE

Minister of Communication ]. Ikeda,
of Japan. accompanied by high post
office official and the department ar
chitect, were in the city yesterday, en-
route on the Nippon Maru from Japan
to the Mainland, whence, after a leis-
urely tour of the States, they viii
leave for Europe. All three officials
are on a tour of investigation of the
postoffice methods in vogue in the
United States and Europe. The tour
will occupy several months, and their
return to Japan viii probably be sig
nalized by improvements in the do
mestic and foreign postal service of
that progressive empire.
Yesterday they were taken through
the local postoffice by Chief Clerk
Louis Kenake, and from the length of
their stay, and the numerous queS-
tionS they asked while making the
rounds, they were evidently much i'm
pressed by what they saw. One of the
first features of American postoffice
developments which they encountered
as they entered the local postofhce
building was the Bundy clock recently
installed, to keep tab on the arrival
and departure OF the employees. It was
their first introduction to such a SyS-
certain during their inspection as 10
whether or not they would make an
offer to purchase it and forward it to
Yokohama on the first mail steamer.
Such a means of keeping the time of
government employees has never been
brought to the attention of the Jap
anese officials before, and II is not un-
likely that a number of the clocks will
be ordered and sent on for trial.
The officials also had an opportunity
to witness the manner in which ar
irving mails from the Orient are dis
tributed, and the local mails made up
for forwarding to the Mainland. The
carriers department, sacking, routing,
distribution for boxes, general deliv-
cry window, money order and stamp
windows were inspected with care, and
the gentlemen left much pleased with
their inquiries.
The chief clerk pointed out to them
the difficulty with which the arriving
mails from Japan were assorted for
deliveries here. Most of the letters
from Japan, he told them. came ad-
dressed only in the vernacular, and
this prevented their delivery by car
riers. and permitted of their being
/ handled in the office only by the Jap
anese mail clerks.
Mr.. Ikeda asked wether Honolulu did
not have a number of Sub-stations,
such as are found in the japanese
cities. He seemed surprised that there
was but ore station here.

ON THE
PLAGUE

DR.. ]. j. Kinyoun, of the United
States quarantine service, who has
spent the past four months in the
Orient examining into the conditions
surrounding the bubonic plague, is u
passenger in the steamer Nippon Maru
on his return trip to the States. His
journey was made upon a commission
to prepare a report on the disease and
its peculiarities. from Surgeon General
Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice.
In pursuance of his orders DR.. Kin
youn has proceeded through the coast
cities of Japan from which vessels usu-
ally clear for the outside world, and
has made a careful study of the meth
DDS which are in vogue among the
Japanese in their dealing with the dis
ease. He also visited Shanghai and
Hongkong, and finally in his private
capacity went on to Manila, where he
spent some weeks studying the condi-
tions and visiting friends in the SER
vice. Owing to the fact that he has
now in his pocket his report to his
superior officer, DIR. Kinyoun refus-
ed to discuss the questions which he
has been investigating. and said that
he must consider that his views are
the property of the department.
The day spent here was a busy one
for the visitor Early he was taken
for a drive to Pail by DR.. Cofer, and
later spent the afternoon in inspecting
the harbor and the various phases Of
the work of the service here. At the
quarantine island a most thorough in
sPection of the plant was made. DR..
Kinyoun expressed himself as very
much pleased with the work which has
been done here by DIR. Cofer, saying
that the plant which has been erected
is one of the most thorough and per-
feet that could be set up.
The Channel wharf fumigating
rooms were visited and the work which
was in progress upon the cargo of the
Nippon Maru inspected. Then the two
officials took the launch and visited the
ships about the harbor and the Rail
road wharf. The plans for keeping the
rats from the wharf were carefully
locked over by DR.. Kinyoun, whose du-
ties in the East brought him into con-
tact with the latest methods in rat
killing. and pronounced as being as
nearly perfection as could be attained.
The arran gements for the quarantining
of any rats which might get upon the
dock were superior. in his opinion.
and he said that he thought the dock
could be made entirely free from the
pest.
The ship W. II. Marston. which had
only recently been fumigated, was next
visited. and the visitor was given
chance TO investigate the thoroughness
with which the work was done. The
hold was looked into. but the fumes
W ere so strong that no careful investi-
CATION could be made, nor any search
for the rats which might be in the ship.
Above the dunnage of the sailors, as
if wedged in in an endeavOr to escape
were found two rats, dead from the ef-
fects OF sulphur gases. From this 1t
was argued that there were others IN
the ship, and that all had met the rate
Of those discovered.
DR.. Kinyoun later met many of the
professional men of the city, and was
greatly interested in the fight which Is
to be made upon the rats which infest

The Orient just now Is practically

no deaths reported from any Japanese

DUTY OF THE COURT.

The position taken by Judge Speer
of the United States court IN the mat
ter of bankruptcy proceedings against
a cotton mill company, the Macon
News thinks, cannot be too highly COM
mended. He was ready to do this duty
as judge if the complainants insisted,
but he made the suggestion that the
representatives of the parties to the lit
igation should confer with one another
to see if they could not devise plan
for the continued operation of the mill
without sacrifice of the interests of
either. He took the ground that the
owners of the mill had been embarrass-
ed because of the Chinese war, which
had affected the cotton market, and
that if their creditors would give them
a chance they might be able to meet
their obligations The suggestion was
accepted.
