Hsnv workine for PardonI

Although it has been announeed that
hereafter the Board of Pardons will not
grant applications untiR they have laid
over for month, the announcement
does not appear to have had any effect
upon the prisoners at the New Castle
County workhouse- Most Of them are
still working and hoping for pardons.
There are few prisoners in the institution
for long terms who do not bave hopes
of securing clemency.

The Senate last Wednesday, passed the
Chinese Exclusion bill but not until it
had been so amended as to be a virtual
re-enactnnent Of the Geary law. The
ear that some of the provisions of tie
new bill would be found to abrogate our
treaty with China and so hamper the
possibilities of trade with the Orient, at
time when the remarkable success Of
American manufacturing enterprises
makes the acquisition and cultivation Of
new and extensive foreign markets inn
perative, was responsible for the action
of the senators.

Speaking on this subject YESTERDAY.
Senator Bard, of California told me that
he believed there was no chance for the
bill in the Senate. Senator Mcmillan
told me the same thing q few days before
and it seems unlikely that, even if the
friends of Cuba, in the Sonata, succeed
in passing the bill, amended as indicated.
there viii be any hope of its getting
through the House. There was no ex-
9pectation on the part OF those Republi-
cans, who voted with the Democrats to
so hamper the measure, that the bill
would eventually become law as, were
it to do SO, it would prove more injurious
to the beet sugar interests than would
Cuban reciprocity. The action Of the
Democrats in voting unanimousls for an
amendment calculated to defeat the 20
per cent concession to Cuba, which they
had previously pronounced a cooper cent
concession to their views,' is as insxpli-i
cable as are the majority of the Democfa-
tic inconsistencies.

WASHINGTON LETTER,

In the presence of three hundred repre-
sentatives. some forty senators and gal
ieries packed with men and women, but
amid silence as complete as it was dra-
matte, forty odd Republicans passed be-
tween Messrs. Payne and Tawney, acting
as tellers, and then mighty cheer burst
from the Democratic side of the House
OF Representatives and the Democrats
hastened forward to be cousted ON the
motion to over-rule the decision of Mr.,
Sherman, Chairman of the Committee of
the Whole. The cheer must have
sounded like wall in the ears of Mr..
Payne, for in that brief moment he
seemed to visibly age, his hands dropped
to his sides and his head ON his breast,
while, in tones which were audible to
the farthest corner of the chamber, Mr..
Tawney continued the count until he an.
nounced the vote III to 100, and, for the
first time in history, the Reed rules were
overthrown, precedent cast aside and the
Cuban reciprocity bill, SO earnestly cham
pioned by the President and on which
the Republican leaders had staked all
their prestige. had been weighted down
with free trade milestone which was
calculated to sink it in the oblivion of
conference committee. Cuba's hopes of
American generosity had been shattered. |

made at the War Department that Gen.
eral Miles would be retired in the near
future and that the order for his retire
ment would be accompanied by state
ment of thesoffenses which had promp-

Since then, however, many Republican
senators have called at the White House
and have finally persuaded Mr.. Rsose-

from taking so drastic step. While the
senators conceded that there was ample

1t was late Friday afternoon when Rep

debate on the Cuban reciprocity biii with
forceful and logical speech. Immed-
lately, Judge Morris, of Minnesota, IF
fered the amendment, previously offered
IN the Committee on Ways and Means
by Mr.. Tawney, and which proa1ded for
the removal of the duty on refiRed sugar.
MIR. Payne promptly made the point of
order that the amendment aTas not eet-

srgued for hours, the Chairman finally.
deciding the point well taken. Tawney
appealed from the decision of the chair
and forty odd Republicans voted with
the Democrats and oversuled the chairs

promptly adopted, the bill reported to
the House, and, on a yea and nay vote, |
the amendment was carried 199sto los. |
The measure as amended passed by vote |
of 247 to 50. The bill will reach the
Senate early this week and will be re-
ferred Immediately to the Committee on
Relations with Cuba, of which Senator
Piatt of Connecticut, is Chairman. Asf
indicated by an interview published in

Platt strongly .fayors the object of the

TUSSLE WITH BRUIN.
John Elliott Fights Bear on the
Edge of Precipice.

Edge OF Precipice.
John Elliott of Thompson river had
an exciting experience with a large
silver tip bear recently that he will
remember for some time to come. In
company with Clerk of Court Lang
he was hunting for deer and walked
close to the edge of precipice over
a hundred feet high, to look down, in
hopes of discovering the elusive bob
tail. There was ledge overhanging
the precipice about four feet wide,
and Mr.. Elliott had just stepped down
on this when a monster bear with
two cubs suddenly arose almost at
his feet, and made a fierce stroke at
him with her paw. Mr.. Elliott no.
ticed her just in ime to draw back
and escaped being struck in the body
but her claws caught him in the left
hand, badly decorating it and tearing
small piece from the side.
Not having time to throw his gun
to his shoulder, Elliott fired from his
hip, the bullet striking the bear in
the breast, knocking her off the ledge
and sending her rolling over and over
to the bottom of the abyss one hun
dred feet below Mr.. Elliott's nerves
were badly shattered, but his escape
from death was such a narrow one
that he had no complaints to make
over his rough experience.

port: We found the stand pipe
coated with a green vegetable matter
and slime, the result of decomposed
vegetable matter. The source of the
water supply is not the best, it being
derived where two forks of the river
meet, one fork, at this season OF the
year, when water is low, being almost
stagnant water draining marshy land,
which contains large amount of de-
caylng vegetable matter, saw dust,
bark, logs, etc. The we'll and pump
ing station are in an apparently good
condition with one exception, the well
needing a new roof, made light, to
protect the water from insects and
small animals gaining access to it.
[ would advise that the stand pipe
be cleaned every three months,
The source of the water supply
could be remedied by removing all
decaying vegetable matter, bark,
logs, etc., from the stream for a dis
lance of from 80 to so rods up stream
above the pumping station, or by
digging ditch to allow free drainage
from the last fork of the river under
small bridge, passing east of pumping
station, emptying into main channel
back of pumping station, thus caus-
ing liberation to come from running
water in both forks.
81 would also recommend that the
dead ends of water pipes in the city
be cleaned thoroughly and frequent
ly."
After the solution of the water
problem new contract was entered
into with the Water G Light company
for, term of three years, the terms
of the new contract are practically
the same as the old one, with the ex-
ception that there are a larger num-
br of lamps involved.
Charles Smithers and E. w. Phil
lips appeared before the council as
a committee from the band and asked
that the old plan of the city contrib
uting $40 a month to the band from
May 1 to November 1, and SIS per
month from November / to May 1,
be again resumed. On motion of
Alderman Cutler and seconded by
Mr.. Webster this was done.
The question of removing the large
stones from the streets was then
taken up and discussed, and the
mayor was given authority for which
he asked to see that they were re
moved, as they were a constant men
ace to life and limb. In the words of
the motion by Alderman Webster,
and seconded by Alderman Murphy,
the mayor was authorized to remove
the large cobble stones from the,
streets, and if necessary to remove
the men who put them there.
TIL reports of the police judge,
chief of police, street commissioner
and city treasurer were read and ap-
proved.
The petition of the Kalispell town
site company to build sidewalk on
Main street to the new court house
was granted. The petitions of the
townsite company and a number of
residents on Second avenue east and
Fourth street for construction of
sidewalks was referred to the COM
mittee on streets and alleys.
An ordinance was passed making it
a misdemeanor for the tapping of any
electric light wires, water mains, or
telegraph wire within the limits of
the city and fixing penalty of fine
of not less than SIS or more than $50
Or so days in Jail for the violation of
same.
After transacting some minor bust
ness, large number of bills against
the city were audited and the council
adjourned.
