PREDICTIONS IN MONTANA.
A Republican Legislature Looked
for n Year Hence.

HELENA, Mon, April ia study of
the returns of the recent municipal cleo
tions in Montana shows that Not only were
the Republican gains large, but the OBJ
liberation of the Populst and Silver Re-
publican organizations was also accomp
lished. This latter phase is made the
more remarkable from the fact that only
four years ago the Populists were strong
enough to dictate the gubernatorial candi-
date in the Fusion convention, and elect
him, as well.
This year the Populists had straight or
Fusion tickets in only two cities, Butte
and Great Falls. and in both instances
they were third in the race. The Popu-
list candidate for mayor in Butte received
about 10 per cent of the total vote, and
the Great Falls aspirant secured about
y per cent. There was not single Silver
Republican ticket put forth in any city in
the State, hence the conclusion is drawn
that the recalcitrants have about all re-
turned TO their former affiliations, Demo-
cratic or Republican.
OF all the cities in the State. first, sec
ond., and third classes, the Democrats
captured only two Bryan carried Mon

voting population. Republican leaders do
not hesitate TO predict the election of

An air Of mystery surrounds a report

II. Patrolman Larrick was called TO the
telephone by the violent ringing of the
telephone bell When ne responded to the
call he was informed that a man had just
jumped out Of the windows of the home
of Mrs. Stietd at 1876 E Street northeast.
that Mrs. Stiletti herself had made an
effort to stop the intruder, but that he
had just escapeI and a policeman was
wanted. Policeman quail was at once sent
TO the scene. and when he arrived found
a parlor window open and several flower
pots overturned.
Upon making an investigation, however
he could find nothing missing. Mrs Sti-
letti and her mother Mrs. Dufour, told
Quail that they had both seen the man
and had recognized him as a former neigh

! postal service ARE in a most unsatis-
factory condition" does not indicate
anything more than some irregularity
of form.
THE report is dated in the early part
of February" said Mr.. Smith. and If
any actual frauds had been discovered
meanwhile they would surely have been
cabled. Mr.. Lawshe is expected to
make a report which will explain the
reference in his report to the War De-
partment. My impression is that in
the course of many statements to Sec
retary Root, Mr.. Lawshe made use of
that phrase parenthetically and did not
intend to question the probity of any
one connected with the postal admins
trauon of the islands. If there is any
difficulty over the form of the accounts
il has arisen probably over change in
bookkeeping ordered at the request of
the War Department.
Our custom was to deduct the eX-
perses of each office from its receipts
and transmit to Manila only the sur
plus. The military authorities desired
the total receipts to be transmitted and
the expenses afterward returned to
each office-thus providing for a double
and unusual transportation Of funds.
This is a precaution which long exper-
ienCe has shown to be unnecessary in
the United States. and which we felt to
be doubly so in an administration as
small as that of the Philippines. When
the experiment had been tried some lit
tie time the military authorities accept
ed our point of view and ordered a
restoration of the older method. 1t is
not unlikely, l think, that the double
change of voucher forms and methods
of keeping accounts may have led to
some confusion which would warrant
the reference made by Mr.. Lawshe.'
F. W. Fsille Director of Posts at Ma
Mia until March Z last, and w. S. Shall
lenberger, Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General, conferred with Mr. Smith
yesterday afternoon. The director ex-
planned that his accounts had been fire.
quently inspected, and that in the few
months that had since elapsed he did
not think it likely any considerable
frauds could have been committed. Mr.
Shallenberger was interested because
Mr.. Vaille is now his subordinate, and
went to Manila from his work in this
country as Assistant Superintendent of
the Railway Mail Service.

The police of the Ninth precinct are
making a determined effort to locate Ka-
tie Hughes. the seyenteen-year-Old
daughter of Mrs. Kate Hughes, of 729

busy all night last night trying to locate
the missing girl, but up to a late hour
his search had been OF no avail.
Katie Hughes. it is claimed, departed
from her home because Of a quarrel. At
least this is the only reason assigned by
a sister last night for her absence
The missing girl has many friends in
the neighborhOod of her home and the
police learned that she had visited the
home of one of them. When the police
arrived, however. Miss Hughes had de-
parted. Since then no trace of the girl
has been found.
