WHITE HOUSE TOO SMALL
MORE ROOM NEEDED FOR BUSI-
NESS PURPOSES.
Various Plans Suggested for Increased
Accommodation for Executive
Branch Of Government.

Washington, March 21.-President
Roosevelt had among his callers today
Representative Mercer of Nebraska,
chairman of the house committee on
public buildings and grounds, and one
of the topics discussed was the en-
largement of facilities for transacting
white house business. Heretofore
there has been plans for r%emodelling
and charging the white house in or
der to meet present requirements. 1t
appears, however, that President
Roosevelt is decidedly opposed to
changing in any material way the ar
~rangements of this historic structure,
believing that it should be preserved
about as it is now. Under these cir
cumstances enlarged facilities would
have to be provided elsewhere, At
n time there was a suggestion of a
presidential residence outside of the
white house, which would then be
devoted entirely to official business
but the present tendency is in favor
of making the white house a residen-
tial establishment for the president,
locating official quarters elsewhere.
Senator Fairbanks had proposed that
the new department of justice have a
branch for executive business. 1t is
understood also that Attornev Gen.
eral Knox has a plan for increasing
executive facilities.
The matter has not vet gone bevond
the stage of beino canvassed bv those
most concerned.

Of what the general said will not ap-

the same time these senators do not

DEATH REVEALED SECRET
WOMAN PASSED AS MAN FOR
FIVE YEARS.
Sudden Death and Investigation bv
Coroner Resulted in Discovery
Of the Deception.

Canadigue. NY, March ga per-
son who raj known her for five a
as William G. Howard, died suddenly
Wednesday night and an autopsy
showed that the supposed man was a
woman. Howard, who was about SO
years old, and who was employed as
a farm hand, came here five Years e
with a woman who was known as
Mrs. Howard. Two children were
born to the supposed wife. The dead
woman worked for farmers in the
neighborhood and those most init
mately acquainted with the family
had the slightest suspicion that
she was not a man.
The cause of the woman's death is
a mystery. On Wednesday night she
took two tablets for a throat affection
and was dead in 10 minutes. The
medicine was sem from Wellsville,
this state, where relatives reside. The
authorities are completely mystified
as to all matters touching upon the
woman's life. They do not even know
her right name. Two men claiming
to be half brothers, attended the fun
eral but refused to divulge any in
formation. An inquest is to be held
and some light may be thrown upon
the strange case.
It developed tonight that the eldest
Of the Howard children was an adopt
ed one.
It further developed tonight shat the
person known here as William G..
Howard was Alice W.. Howard, and
that she went through q marriage GER
emony in 1892, with Edith Dyer.

Washington, March 21.-The presi-
dent today discussed with a number
of visitors the statements made yes
terday by General Miles before the
senate committee. The president
takes the position that the lieutenant
general of the army should entertain
toward his superiors the same respect
that he would demand from his subor-
dinates. There is little doubt Miles
statements will ultimately lead to his
retirement by the president.
The Miles matter came up at the
cabinet meeting today but considera-
ton was postponed till all the facts
become known. 1t is known that the
president stated he was tired of the
friction in the army and it is likely
the retirement will not be long delay
ed.

Presents State Historical Society
With Highly Priced Relic.
from Saturdays Daily Gazette. X
A highly priced souvenir that un-
locks the door between present and
past in Montana was received yester-
day at the state historical library,
says the Helena Independent. 1t is
the key that was made for the door
to St. Mary's mission, near Stevens
vile, the first church built in the ter
rltory. The mission was built in 1841,
M the key was fashioned by the
hands of Father Ravalli, one Of the
founders Of the church. It is crudely
constructed, as keys go in this day,
u it is handsome in the eyes of the
student of the history of Montana.
The key was sent to the library by
r.. w. Clark of Billings.
The library has received from D. D.
Matteson a photograph of the mem
bers of the Montana Pioneer society,
taken at their last meeting at Mis-
sOula.

HEAVY CATTLE LOSSES.
Several Hundred Head Killed in Biz

Several Hundred Head Killed in Biz
zard Near WilIiston.
According to a Havre dispatch to
the Great Falls Tribune the recent
storm which prevailed in that portion
of the state caused considerable loss
to cattlemen near Williston. It is
estimated that nearly 400 animals,
mostly yearlings, persisted in that
neighborhood.
During the height of the blizzard
400 head, confined in a corral at the
Hedfrick ranch, on the Big Muddy,
broke and became scattered. When
the storm subsidized it was possible
to find no more than 40 or so of them
alive, though many dead ones were
found scattered over the prairie.
The loss to the owner is estimated
at about $4,000.

attn City With Library.
Bozeman, March 22.-Andrew Car
negie has seen fit to give $4,000 to
Bozeman for a free public library.
The gift is made provided the city
council will pledge itself to support
the library at a cost of not less than
$1,000 a year. Alderman j. M. Lind
ley, chairman Of the committee which
has had the matter in charge. receiv-
ed a letter from James Bertram, Mr..
Carnegie's secretary in New York.
which contained the good news. An
application was made to Mr.. Carne-
gle last fall and several communica-
lions have been received from his sec
rotary asking for data concerning the
city of Bozeman and it's present IL
brary. The news was received with
great pleasure by Bozeman people.
The building, will be a great addition
to Bozeman's public buildings The
present library has about 5000 vol
umns, but is only open three after
Moons and evenings each week. Dur
ing 1901 more, than 5000 books were
taken out by patrons. The library
costs the city about 1 1000 per year,
so that the extra $500 will not mean
much to the taxpayers. No site has
vet been selected but action will be
taken by the council in the course of
a few days.

MONEYBACS WANT CHANGE
WALL STREET FAVORS HANNA
FOR PRESIDENT.
RooseveIt's Anti-RaiIroad and Pro-
Western Prociivities Not Relish
ed by the Millionaires.

Washington, March 22.-There are
signs that Senator Hanna may be
brought forward as the candidate of
the moneyed interests of the republi-
can party for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1904. He will be put forward
as the especial champion of labor,
and his record IN settling strikes will
be enlarged upon,
In reality, however, he will be the
representative of those moneyed in
t~erests, central in Wall street, which
do not take kindly to Hr. Roosevelt's
way of doing things. Umbrage has
been taken at the rough handed way
in which the president went after the
Northern Securities company. Wall
street said that the president should
have given notice in advance SO that
the street" might have got ready for
the shock. There is also dissatisfac-
ton over the presidents plan of strict
ly enforcing the interstate commerce
law.
The financial interests further crit
icized the president because of his
liberal western policy. They cite his
advocacy of national irrigation as cal
culated to lead to enormous and waste
full expenditure of public funds. Mr..
Roosevelt seems gradually alternating
the old financial forces which stood
so loyalty back of Mckinley, and it
may be that he will have to look to
the west for his strength in the con-
vention of 1904. That strong efforts
are to be made by the financial inter-
ests of the country to prevent Roose-
velt's nomination, is now very gener-
ally conceded by his friends in this
city.
The ante convention campaign Of
1904, therefore, may show the repub-
lican party divided by a line drawn
north and south through the Allie
ghenies, the majority of votes west
of that line being inclined his way and
the majority east against him. OF
course, such a statement must not be
taken too literally, for east Of the
mountains the president will make a
strong fight. He ought to be able
to carry his own state, for instance,
and he will make a stiff fight in parts
of New England and in Maryland and
Delaware. West of the mountains he
will meet the Fairbanks boom.

GRIGGS AT GOLF.

He Surprises the Talent of Tuxedo.
 Former Attorney General John w. Griggs has two hobbies-laW and golf and he rides both with considerable de- gree of success.
 Between the two he prefers golf, be- cause he earns his income from law and that makes work of it. He pays for the privilege of playing golf. That makes fun of it.
 Paterson never had greater pride in the possession of MT. Griggs than when the town heard that he had succeeded in mixing law and golf and actually won honors in a handicap match with a niblick of two from Blackstone He holed-out with an argument, so to speak.
 It was at the Tuxedo club Saturday that MT. Griggs verbally brassied him. self into tie for the prize cup. He tied for the honors with John Moller,
