II is now thought that the question OF
Cuban reciprocity will take precedence of
Nicaraguan Canal BILL following Immediate
ly after the,Philippine bill Nothing so far
disclosed by the investigation of the Com
mittee on Relations with Cuba has shown
any ground for the belief that the Sugar
Trust will be benefited by reciprocity and
the republican leaders are confident that
there will not be serious oppo siton to the
bill which the committee will report While
the leaders are non-commi:tai on the subject
OF the isthmian canal bill IL is manifest that
there is decided disposition on the part OF
certain republican senators to avoid all
canal legislation. They fear the effect of a
large appropriation. which such legislation
would entail, on the Fall elections and
particularly is this true OF the Western
senators who have been unable TO secure
any action in the House on the irrigation
bill.

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. May ~. Ioos-
The debate on the Philippine bill is at
last drawing to a close and. while there are
still a number OF Senators who wish to
speak ON the subject, the end is regarded
as in sight Senator Rawiins. who is senior
democrat on the Philippines Committee.
told me yesterday that there would be no
filibustcr1ng onlthe part of the democrats
aud that all the sensational stories to that
effect had emanatcd from unreliable sources
as such tactics had never been contemplated
by the party leaders. When one or two
more democratic senator's have expressed
their views on the policy OF the administra.
ton. the minority will make an effort To-
secure the amendment of the bill along lines
calculated to curtai the auiocratic power
conferred on the Philippine Commission
and TO reserve TO the Filipinos a large share
OF the special rights and privileges OF their
country The mining law. which was drawn
up by committee OF which Senator
Rawiins was chairman is satisfactory toiail
concerned, Tic land laws, the minority
hopes to amend by substituting the home
stead laws OF the United States with a
reduction OF the amount OF land granted to
each individual to. probably, forty acres.
and they will contend for the greatest
possible reduction of the amount of land
which the commission will he empowered
to lease or sell TO corporations. II is also
hoped that the judicial provisions OF the bill
may be so amended as 20 extend the provi.
sion regarding the right OF appeal TO the
Supreme Court Of the United States and to
accord TO the Filipinos the right of trial 10y
jury, IF cases are TO be tried sbvSFilipino
judges IL certainly seems reasonable to
assume that filipinos would be competent
to serve as jurors said Senator Rawlins.

In point of volume the wool sales
here in the past "a hours passed the
three-quarter million paund mark. A
peculiar condition of the market was
the fact that nearly all the sales were
made to two firms. There were, how
ever, half dozen or more bidders.
Sixteen cents was reached for one
clip, that of Ed Sayre. who knocked
off $4,000 pounds at that figure and
tied the highest price yet paid on this
market. Voolfolk & Richardson.
whose wool is considered always of
an unusually good quality and who
have been in the habit of getting top
prices, fell away under the highest
figure when they offered their clip of
10000 pounds at the Burlington yes
terday afternoon. The best offer
made them was that from jeremiah
Williams & Co. and Luce & Manning,
which was 145s cents. The bid was
rejected and it is generally under
stood that the firm will not sell much
under Is cents.
Detailed sales and offerings since
the last report are as follows:

MILLERs OF COUNTRY INTEREST.
ED IN HENDERsoN,s DEFEAT.
ORGANIZE FOR CAMPAIGN
His Attitude on the London Dock
Clause Gives Them
Offense.

Minneapolis, July 23-Speaker
David B. Henderson, of the house of
representatives, has got himself into
trouble with the milling interests,
and advices from Iowa say that his re-
turn to Washington has been endan-
gered thereby. The feeling against
him is so strong that the millers of
his own district have organized to
fight him. The district has been flood
ed with campaign literature; cam
paign fund has been raised and, in
fact, the opposition to the speaker is
so strong that he has decided to take
the stump in his own behalf for the
first time in many years.
H. S. Kennedy of this city, secretary
of the Millers' club, and secretary of
the National Federation of Millers,
leaves fer Des Moines tonight to at
tend meeting at which measures for
defeating Henderson will be discuss
ed Mr.. Kennedy says that millers
generally all over the country are in:
terested in the fight being waged
against the speaker, and adds that
Minneapolis millers in particular
would be glad to see him defeated.
He says, however, that no money has
been solicited for campaign purposes
outside of Iowa and intimates that
enough can easily be raised thereto,
give Henderson the fight of his life
The speaker incurred the enmity of
the millers by refusing to call up what
is known as the London dock clause
an amendment to the Harter bill, de-
signed to do away with what the mill
ers consider unjust discrimination
against American flour in unloading
charges at London. This amendment
passed the senate, but was hung up
in the house, and for this Henderson
is held responsible.

LARGE SUMS DONATED.
Money to Carry on Coal Strike Comes
in Chunks.

indianapolis, July Secretary
Wilson of the United Mine Workers
today received check for $4,000
from the strike fund of the Illinois
organization. The Illinois miners have
within four weeks given the national
organization 100000 for strike funds
and still have nearly $50O,OOO in re-
serve. This donation, it is said, is
the largest ever received for strike.
Wilson has received notice from in
dlviduals of checks for as much as
$1,000 that are now on their way to
headquarters, indicating that the ap-
peal to, the public for funds has been
effective
Secretary Wilson says no attempt
will be made to pay the anthracite
strikers stipulated sums of money
weekly.
Our intention" said he, "is not to
pay regular benefits, but merely to
take care of the strikers and their
families"
1t is believed that the miners will
not attempt to keep the bituminous
coal out of the anthracite market, ex-
cept as last resort.

HELENA PEOPLE ALARMED.
Water to Be Turned Off Unless Mon.
ey Is PaiG

Helena, July 23.-Nvhether it will
be or will not be is the question Of
the hour in Helena. The water COM
pany insists that it will be, while the
city authorities are equally positive
that it will not be. In the meantime
the property owners of Helena are
anxiously awaiting developments,
which are due to- come.
The insurance companies have rec
ognixed the situation as being seri-
GUS. A Helena agent received the
following letter of instruction today
from one of his companies, which has
written a large amount of business
in this city:
"San Francisco. July II 7,19O2.-Dear
Sir: We have just received cir
cular letter stating that the Helena
Water company has served formal
notice on the city council that water
supply for fire purposes will be dis
continued after noon, July "a. Should
the water company carry this into eff
feet, kindly discontinue issuing pob
icies for this company. We should
probably promulgate an order to cam
eel al lexisting contracts. Kindly ac-
cept thi sas a formal notice.
M. s. Gum, of counsel for the water
company, who has just returned from
st. Paul. declared again today that
the company would surely turn of
the water unless it's bill was paid.
Mayor Edwards and City Attorney
Horsky declined to discuss the situa-
tion today. but stated that they We're
ready to act the moment the company
attempted to turn off thes water. A
crisis will be reached at noon tomor-
row when there is almost certain to
be clash between the employees OF
the water company and the city au-
thorities.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

No wool sales were made yesterday
afternoon at the Burlington or at the
Northern Pacific this morning. The
buyers concluded to lay off fer day
in order to give the baling crew a
chance to catch up with the work on
hand.
At the Burlington most of the clips
which were in the warehouse have been
sold and shipped.
While much wool is still on hand at
the Northern Pacific, matters there
for several days past have been in
congested condition, hence the buy
ers concluded to wait until tomor-
row morning before they will sample
more clips.

New York, July 23.-1t was report
ed today that some 1000 or 5000 of
the 10000 garment strikers had gone
to work after a settlement, but this
is contradicted. The manufacturers
said they had offered contracts to

TIES HIGHEST PRICE PAID THIS
SEASON.
TWO FIRMS SECURE BULK
Wyoming Wool Still In Light Demand
and No Sales Reported
Today.

from Tuesdays Daf'y Gazette.
While not going Off with a rush the
wool sales in the city maintain a
steady gait. The market is not of the
booming kind, but prices on the whole
keep up with the average paid at 9th
er points in the state.
AS has been the habit during past
seasons, an effort is being made at
Great Falls to hold up the idea that
the market there is superior to all
others, but comparison does not es-
tablish this as a settled fact True,
there have been one or two instances
when a few clips brought a fraction
of cent higher prices at Great Falls
than the quotations for the same day
at Billings, but this is easily account
ed for when quality of fieeces is talk
en- into consideration. 1t has been
conceded for years past that the
neighborhood of Great Falls raises
some exceptionally fine WOOL 1t is
also claimed that in most instances
wool in that section is freer from
dirt than the bulk of the wool grown
in this part of the state, a fact which
no doubt makes some difference as to
the merits of the article offered on
the two markets. But on the whole
the Billings market is holding it's own
when compared with the Others in
the state.
