Crowds in Buffalo Break for Jail.

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-shortly after
midnight the great crowds on the
streets became excited over rumor
that the president was dead. A rush
was made toward the police station
where Czolgocz is confined. 1t was
promptly met by the police reserves
mounted and on foot and driven back
after weak resistance. In fact
yenty policemen handled the mob on
ole street without trouble, indicating
that they were not much in earnest
in their endeavors to get to police
headquarters.

MONTANA SUGAR IN SIGHT.

Butte Inter Mountain: The Inter
Mountains interview with w. d.
Thornton today regarding his expert
ments in beet culture in the Bitter
Root valley, is Of immense Importance
to the people of Montana. To Mr..
Thornton belongs the credit of proving
beyond doubt the adaptability of Mon
taina soil to the growth Of sugar beets.
Others have predicted the time would
come when Montana would make it's
W sugar, but it was left for MIR.
Thornton, by practical experimental
ton, to show not only that sugar
beets may be successfully grown, but
that the percentage of ~saccharine mat
ter they contain when matured is
greater than that of the product in
any other section of the union except
in the vicinity Of Oxnard, California.
If such high-grade beets can be raised
in the Bitter Root there is little doubt
that Gallatin, Yellowstone and other
fertile valleys of the state can be
made to yield equal profit to the beet
grower. In any event the results of
Mr.. T%hornton's work should encourage
beet planting in every valley of the
state, for an enormous amount of the
tubers will find a ready market at
profitable prices the moment capital
shall construct the factories invited
by the certainty of success. Wherever
beets a be successfully raised, the
land produces fully three times as
much profit as that seeded to gain.

the president this week.
1t has been reported that the COM

to the exclusion of the consideration

clusion, for the commission will be

the alarm expressed by the Interde-

. It is gratifying to know that this re-
port of the commission will be ex-
haustive as to routes and expendi-
lures. The commission has done very
thorough work, and, if no decisive
action is taken by congress on the
subject during the approaching SEES
sion, the public will fix the RESPONSE
bility upon that body for such delay,
which is injurious to the public in
terests and inexcusable.
1t will take ten years to construct
the Nicaragua canal, and, within that
time, a live and pushing company
could complete the Panama canal,
while Mexico's Tehuantepec %transcon-
tinental railway will be completed in
two years, offering large advantages
to American shippers in the Pacific
coast trade. If we are going to have
an American canal, the work cannot
be undertaken too soon. Such a canal
has been talked of ever since the days
of Cortez, who reported to Emperor
Charles V that Immense utility would
result from it." Cortez preferred the
Tehuantepec route, where the Mexi-
can government is now constructing
a railway, and which was surveyed
as early as 1744. After three hundred

A TURN AT COMBINES.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t is reported
from Washington that the department
of justice has been instructed to pro-
coed against certain consolidated cor
porations VINO have abused their priv
ileges by oyercapitalization and in
other ways.
Under the existing antitrust law the
act of monopolizing and %engrossing
trade between the states is made a
penal offense. This law put a stop
to competing corporations making
agreements for the restraint of trade
and putting their stock in trust as a
guarantee for the execution of their
contracts. Combinations, since the
passage of that law, can only be made
by merging many corporations into
one by purchase. Under this law the
traffic associations of the railway
trusts have been dissolved. The old
trust has ceased to exist. The pro-
cess of merging corporations into one
has been going on diligently and what
ever the government does against
such combinations it must do under
common law provisions against mo
nopolies conflicting with the public
good. The republican proposition for
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition giving the government power
to define, regulate and prohibit and
dissolve trusts and combinations or
monopolies, was defeated in the house
by the democrats and populists. who

rates and inadequate or inferior IA
calities. Just how this defense can be
most effectively made will have to be
determined by circumstances. But
that the American business world
will permit itself to be enslaved by
one interest Of this character, no mat
ter how great and powerful, is not to
be conceded for a minute. On the
contrary, the fact that this great rail
road combination may nave the power
to Cypress is calculated to make the
public the more sensitive and appre-
hensive and the more easily inclined
to employ the greater power which it
possesses to hold license and greed in
check.

1.did not want regulation but the ex.
tinction of combinations. The posi-
ton of the republican. party is clear
ly defined in the Philadelphia plat
form which recognized the necessity
and propriety of the honest co-opera-
ton of capital to meet the new condi-
lions, but condemned "all conspira-
cies and combinations intended to re-
strict business, to create monopolies,
to limit production or to control
prices" favoring legislative restraint
and prevention of abuses, the protec-
ton and promotion Of competition and
securing the rights Of labor in all
branches. The republican party will
stand by this beneficent policy. In
his admirable address before the Mer-
chants club of Chicago on this sub
ject the other day, Mr.. James B. Dill,
one of New York's most distinguished
lawyers, sand as to national legisla-
ton:
"The q%uestion.is national in extent,
and breadth. It can only be dealt
with by legislation equally as broad,
that is, national legislation.
"The objection to national legisla-
ton is suggested that it would be I'M
constitutional. The supreme court
OF the United States found it's way out
Of the anne difficulty when suggested
in the case Of the national banking
act. 1t might be said in the present
case that the public welfare more
urgently required a national corpora
ton act than the same public welfare
required a national banking act. To
say nothing Of the commercial inter
ests of this country, the financial in
terests are today interested to a larg-
er extent in Industrial securities than
in banking when the national banking
act was passed."
He rightly insisted that the great
question today was not how combina-
tions can be annihilated, but how
they may be best utilized and con
trolled for the good of the entire coun-
try. Annihilation of a business pro-
cess which is essential to changed
business conditions, because it is
chargeable with some preventible
abuses, is the counsel of fools.

criticism and another Of the laws
passed has been found faulty and i'm
practicable. If it is impossible to find
in a city the size of Butte a man in
whom are embodied all the qualifica-
items required to fill the position of
meat and milk inspector then how
much more difficult will it prove in the
case of the smaller cities to secure
the services Of such a marvel. 1t is
true that the law does not make it
obligatory upon cities of less than
5000 to appoint such an official, but
it is also true that it gives the right of
making such an appointment in case
they desire to do So. In this city a
strong sentiment exists in favor of a
meat and milk inspector, but in view
Of the seeming impossibility to OBJ
tain a man qualified to fill the posi-
ton it is extremely doubtful that the
people will ever be able to obtain the
benefits which the law contemplatas
they shall have on their W election.
If matters continue in the same way
for much longer it will be extremely
doubtful whether any act of the leg
islature can be found that will hold
water, either as an enactment in con-
sonance with the constitution or as
a measure amendable to
sense and good judgment.

kLONDlkE TO REVOLT AGAINST
CANADIAN RULE.
DAWSON TO Be CAPITAL
Arms, Ammunition and Provisions
Cached at Convenient Places
Waiting for Winter.

a Francisco, Nov. 1S.-The Call
publishes an unconfirmed story
from Skagway, Alaska, under late of
November 6, telling of the discovery
OF what is alleged to be a huge con-
spiracy existing at Dawson and rami-
flying ITO Skagway, Victoria, Vancou-
yer and Seattle, for the overthrow of
the local government of the Northwest
Territory, and the establishment of a
republic, with Dawson as it's capital.
According to the details of the story,
arms, ammunition and provisions have
been taken in over the railroad and
cached at strategic points. Prominent
American residents Of SkagWay are
said to be ringleaders in the conspir-
are said to await the summons to
arms, ready to fight for the independ-
ence from Dominion rule of the gold
field camps and towns. The plan is
to overthrow the mounted police, ar
rest the civil authorities, and take the
government into their own hands. The
rigors of the arctic winter would give
the insurgents six months immunity
from attack by Canadian or British
troops, and the adventurous arch-con-
spirators hope for Intervention or out
side assistance by the time the melt
ing of ice and sno will permit the in
vasion of their isolated republic.
1t is further related that a hurried
conference, lasting until midnight, was
held at Skagway on November 5, at
which were present Captain Corrigan
of the Northwest mounted police, who
had arrived from across the Canadian
border the evening before, Judge
Brown of the United States district
court, United States Marshal Shoup.
United States Attorney Friedrich and
Major Hovey, commanding the United
States troops at Skagway. This was
the last of several hasty consultations
between the civil and military repre-
sentatives of the two powers in re-
lation to the mysterious t%ransporta-
ton of supplies into the interior and
rumors of a conspiracy to lead the
miners in a revolt against the Canad-
ian government in the Northwest Ter
ritory. Those present maintained
strict silence concerning the new evil
dence laid before them, and their evil
dent anxiety helped to confirm the ru-
mofs of conspiracy.
Captain Corrigan took the early
train back across the border the next
morning, while United States Marshal
Shoup embarked on the first steamer
for seattle, which port he reached sew
eral days ago. The object of his visit
was presumably to confer by telegraph
with the authorities at Washington.
He sailed yesterday, afternoon on the
Dolphin on his way back to Skagway.

by the Mormons. They see in it o
realization cI the prediction made
years ago that within a half century
The Mormons would control a belt of
states cutting the country in two from
northeast to southwest, with the only
difference that the prediction is in a
fair way Of verification in about half
of the time allowed. Already the
Mormons own land from the Rockies
to the Sierras and are rapidly spread
ing eastward. In four western states
they are already practically in con
troll and at the rate of their increase
in others it will be only a short time
until they will control sufficient more
to prevent adoption of the proposed
amendment making polygamy a crime,
as it will require but the dissent of -
states to deafeat it. That they are
awake to the situation and realize
that every moments delay is to their
advantage is evident by the extraor-
binary efforts at PROSECUTING they are
putting forth at the present time. Two
thousand of their missionaries are at
work throughout the nation making
converts and adding daily to the
strength of the church. Sixty mis-
sionaries are at work in the state of
New York.
The danger Of Mormonism seems to
be moderated rather than overrated
and unless the country is aroused all
attempts to head Off the evil now i'm
pending will fail. Only by a consti-
%tutional amendment can relief be OBJ
tanned and at the rate at which the
Mcrmons are growing in influence and
the day is fast approaching
when application of that remedy will
been postponed too long to make
available. Of course, they say that
polygamy is no longer practiced and
that the hue and cry made against
them are groundless and the work of
their enemies, but those who live in
where .Mormons have
any strength know better. While true
that plural marriages are not prac-
openly, the fact, nevertheless, !
exists that they are pracriced in Sc
cret and that since the admission of
Utah to statehood polygamy there,
of decreasing has been in
2reasing, as the laws under which the
.polyganlists could formerly be reach
are O dead. 1t was in anticipa-
ton Of this that the movement for
statehood was SO popular, for with
statehood came notification of the
bill and federal control and
authority ended in respect to matters
purely within the province and con
;rol Of the state.

ONE MORE BLuNDER.

Although made mandatory in the
case of cities of more than 5000 in
habitants, it is not likely that the law
passed by the last legislature requir-
ing the appointment Of meat and milk
inspectors will ever be enforced. The
reason for this lies with the law it.
self. The provisions it contains as to
the requirements that must be posses
sed by him make it impossible to Sc
cure a man competent to fill the posi-
ton. In order to be able to hold the
place a man must not only be a chem
list, and a good one, but he must also
be a graduate veterinarian holding a
diploma recognized by the American
Veterinary Medical association, and
admitted to practice in Montana. The
mayor of Butte, who has looked into
the matter since the opinion by the at
torney general that the appointment
OF such an official is compulsory in
cities of the size of Butte, has arriv-
ed at the conclusion that he is unable
to comply with the law, much as he
would like to do so. According to his
.c.icf there is not a man in the state
competent to fill the position, A vet
erinarian may be able to pass upon
the flesh of an animal Immediately
after it is killed and also give judg-
mont &C tn tho condition re Tho booJ4l,
CT the animal before it is killed, but
TO do SO after the lapse of ten or
twenty days he would probably be in
competent to say whether the meat
had been properly cared for or not.
Neither is the education of a veter-
marian supposed to qualify him to
pass upon the condition of milk as to
its fitness for human consumption.
Under the conditions it would seem
that a chemist and bacteriologist
would come nearer being fit for the
position of inspector than the person
described in the law.
n mayor says he will take no
further action and will allow the ap-
pointment to go by default. In this
event it is probable that legal meas
ures will be instituted to compel the
mayor to comply with the law, as the
attorney general says mandamus pro-
ceedings would lie and Furthermore
that the city would be responsible for
damages or injuries caused by reason
of the neglect to provide a meat and
milk inspector.
Because of the immense moun of
work that inspection according to the
law would require the health officer
of Butte declares one man could not
possibly do the work. He suggests
that a depot be established where all
milk offered for sale should be taken
and inspected and even then it would
take a force of five or six men to do
the work properly.
Again, it would seem, has the leg
lslature which already must bear SO
heavy a burden laid itself open to
