Washington, June 6.-The navy de-
partment will make a statement Sat
urday as to the outcome Of the court
OF inquiry on board the Chicago at
Naples, but it is not expected the
full proceedings Of the court. no even
the text of the conclusions, will be
published.
It is understood that the court
found something to criticise in the
conduct Of the officers who were ar
rested. but Secretary Moody does not
agree with the conclusions on those
points. and consequently they will be
disapproved. Thus the outcome will
be q v%indication in substance, and
there will be nj further proceedings
in the nature Of a court martial.

MOVE INTO new QUARTERS
GOVERNOR AND STATE OFFICERS
OCCUPY cAulToL.
Secretary Preuitt Of State Board Of
Stock Commissioners Will Do
Business at Old Stand.

Helent, June 6.-Governor Toole
moved into the new capitol today, as
did also Secretary of State Hays and
Attorney General Donovan. Little Of
fetal business was transacted, how
ever, at the new state house as it is
still in a somewhat chaotic state.
David Marks, clerk of the state board
of examiners, conveyed the great seal
of the state to the capitol this after
noon.
The first document recorded in the
new office of the secretary was the
articles of incorporation Of the Sidney
Livestock company, Incorporated yes
terday.
The supreme court will move some
time next week as soo as the law
library has been moved. The court
has directed A. G. Schneider, the court
stenographer, to superintend moving
the 10000 volumes in the law library.
He will direct the packing of the
books in boxes and see that they are
placed on the proper shelves in the
new library. Mr.. Schneider said to-
day that he believed the library could
be moved in two days. The library
will be moved during the coming
week.
The streetcar line has not yet been
extended to the new statehouse, and
cannot be completed for about three
weeks. The officers and deputies find
that the capitol is a long distance
from the city. If a man walks as If he
were trying to catch a train he can
make the distance between the court
house and the capitol in ten minutes,
but an ordinary trip takes longer. The
telephone connections with the vari-
Gus offices have not yet been made.
About the only state officer who will
not have quarters in the icy building
is w. G. Prueitt, secretary Of the state
board of stock commissioners, who
will remain in his present quarters in
the Power building. Mr.. Preuitt is
secretary of the Stockgrowers 1850
citation, and as he believes that he cam
attend to this business better in town,
he will remain where he is. The
state association will pay the rent Of
his present quarters as formerly.

Closing Screens.

Scranton, Pa, June 6.-Shutting
down Of the small screens and wash
cries erected at some OF the refuse
piles of long abandoned drifts and
tunnels is now engaging attention Of
the coal strikers Of the Lackawanna
valley. There are, perhaps, a score
OF these workings with six to ten men
each and their trade is chiefly to farm
ers and some small industries.
In every section where these exist
the several local unions whereabouts
have begun closing in.
At Carbon and Germaine, Prokville
and Taylor were all reported today as
being closed. The Luzerne, a small
screen in North Scranton, was closed
yesterday, but it's owners put on a
new force of workmen today, equipped
with guns and told them to work the
place at all hazards. It screens about
100 tons daily, most Of which goes to
the Scranton Railway company.
The strikers in North Scranton plan
a march on the place this afternoon
and are confident they will close it up.
District President Nichols says re
ports continue to come of the deser-
ton of many imported men, and the
situation continues most encourag-
ing to the strikers.

V A ON THE OCEAN.
A British Shipping Combine to Offer
COMPOSITION 70 Morgan.

a British Shipping Combine to OHer
Competition to Morgan.
Liverpool, June 5.-The report Is
fully confirmed that the Cunard Steam
ship company has commenced the
formation of a British shipping com
bination. The Beaver line, of which
Sir Alfred L. Jones is the head, will
join forces with the Cunard line.
Sir Alfred is the most energetic or
sganizer of English shipping. He is
the head also Of the Elder Dempster
line Of steamers to the British West
Indies. The Allen line will support
the new combination, which meets
with warm approval of the colonial Of
flee.
The objects Of the scheme are two
fold, firstly, to meet the Morgan COM
bination on American ground, and
secondly, to arrange a new and fast
service to Canada, which will be large
31y subsidized by both the British and
Canadian governments. The leaders
of the new scheme say they recognize
the fight for freight will be severe.
The British combination will not be
hampered so much by Mr.. Morgan's
control OF the American railways as
by the fact that the principal freight
steamer are in the hands Of its OPP
ponents.
A Hamburg correspondent tele-
graphs that shipping men there be-
lieve that the Cunard company will
come to a working arrangement with
the Union and Castle lines in order
to secure a monopoly Of the African
trade, and that the result will be the
establishment of new lines from the
United States to Africa.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NOW UN
DER NEW HEAD.
COMMISSION IS SUPREME
Resolution Apparently Shears Mayor
Of Former Power and Also
Some Anxiety.

The appointment Of a police COM
mission by the city council, which
shall have sole jurisdiction Ut the po-
lice department, marks a new depar-
ture in Montana municipal affairs.
Billings is the first city in the state
to adopt this course and the workings
OF the commission will no doubt be
watched with a great deal of interest
by other municipalities in the state.
For some months past there has
been a great deal Of clashing between
the authoritative heads of the city
over certain matters. The regula-
ton of gambling, alleged to be go
ing on, was made the basis of much
complaint to the heads Of the NUM-
cipai government and hese in turn
c%ontendel that the question was one
Which the county attorney and the
sheriff were empowered under the
statutes to regulate. These officers
maintained that the city had author
ity to act. Then several citizens APP
pealed to the county commissioners
with a complaint alleging that the
anti-gambling law was being openly
violated and petitioned the board to
enforce the provisions of the law
bearing on the question. The COM
missioners found that the complaint
filed did not go into the matter suf-
ficiently to constitute a cause OF ac-
ton against certain county officers for
neglect ct duty and there the matter
dropped, SO far as it Immediately cor
cerned the county authority which
had been confronted with the question
of the alleged infraction of the law.
Some surprises followed when the
city council convened Wednesday ev-
ening in adjourned session. The
gambling question having been given
a hearing before the board of county
commissioners, and the law plainly
quoted by that body, the city council
was apparently in a mood to- tackle al
most any kind of a question, be it new:
err so knotty and delicate. Mayor
George, usually on his guard against
questions that might throw him off
his feet, was SO to speak, led into a
nice little trap by the parliamentary
tactics pursued by one or more alder
men in the discussion of the moral
regulation IT the city. This led up
to a resolution directing the mayor to
appoint a police commission from
among the members of the council,
which Was adopted w:,,,eur a dissent.
ing vo.e.
The resolution gives tn" committee
powers owe tie &c n:,nAent, thereby
~1.lieving the mayer from all further
anxiety as regards control Of the po-
lice and regulation of the morals Of
the town. In other words Mayor
George is still mayor, but with a string
attachment. by reason Of his appoint
ment of that commission.

President Cannot interfere.

Washington, June Glitter a con-
ference with the members of his cab
met today, President Roosevelt de-
cided that there is no legal grounds
for interference by him in the settle
ment of the dispute between the coal
operators and the striking miners, as
the law of 1892, which conferred au-
thority on the president to appoint
such officer, has been repealed.

FOR TREATMENT
PHYSICIANS THINK THEY HAVE
FOUND SOURCE OF FEVER.
Germs Of the Disease Similar to Those
Of Malaria, But Of More vir-
ulent Form.

Great Falls, June 6.-Dr. A. F. Long
eway, secretary of the state board of
health, is in receipt of an official COM
munication from DIR. William Chown-
ing, bacteriologist or the University
of Minnesota, and DR.. l.. B. Wilson,
also of that university, who have been
conducting Investigations Of the spot
ted fever contagion in the Bitter Root
valley, in which they make a report
upon their findings as far as they have
progressed in their Investigations. In
their letter they claim to have dis
covered the organism which is the di-
rect cause of the fever, and state that
it is a parasite, the life cycle Of which
they are now working out, and are
searching for a proper treatment for
the disease.
The germs of the disease are found
to be similar to those OF malaria, but
of a more virulent form. The state
ments which the specialists make in
the letter were made after careful
study of the eight cases which proved
fatal in that district during the past
season. So far the Investigations of
the physicians are only in a primitive
state, and they really have only secur-
ed the materials upon which they
must work to solve the problem they
are laboring upon.
DR.. A. F. Loneway stated today that
the specialists were only at the be-
ginning Of their labors,s and that the
information which they had now OBJ
tanned would be only a foundation
upon which they would base a sum
mers' work in their endeavor to dis
cover the seat Of the trouble and de-
wise a treatment for it.
No action will be taken upon the
Communication and it will not be nee
sssary to call a meeting of the state
board to take it into consideration.
