Alexander Macaulay, the republican
candidate for alderman in the Eighth
ward and one of the progressive busi-
ness men Of the community, was born
in Scotland, where he received good
common school education.
When only 10 years Of age he left his
native land and coming to the United
States took up his residence in Alpenan,
Mich, where he was engaged In busi-
ness for nine years.
Having concluded to branch out In a.
larger business venture he came West
and in 1883 arrived in Montana. For
several years Mr.. Macaulay followed
mining, in which he achieved more than
the average amount Of success. He
operated many valuable properties with
credit and at various times had charge
of large numbers Of men. He Is con-
sidered competent, careful and reliable
by the men whose property he handled,
and for whom he conducted many min
ing operations requiring skill and cxperi-
ence.
At length, Mr.. Macaulay decided to go
into business for himself and bought
an establishment in Butte. During the
five wears of his successful business ca-s
reer in this city, he has won the respect
and confidence of all who have had any
dealings with him. &

In politics, Mr.. Macauay has always
peen republican and for many years
has been found In the ranks of the
party, supporting its principles and
fighting its battles.
While he has been urged many times
by his party to allow his name to go be-
fore the people as a candidate for Of
nee, Mr.. Macaulay continually refused
until the present campaign when he
saefificed his personal wishes to accede
to the requests of his friends In the
party. 1t was only by the unanimous
desire OF many Of the most prominent
men in his ward-irrespective Of their
previous political faith-that Mr.. Ma
caulay agreed to enter the lists and fight
for his own election.
Now that he entered, however, he is
making vigorous campaign and one
that cannot fail to win.
Property owners, taxpayers and busi-
ness men in general In his ward and
throughout the city look with favor on
his candidacy, and considering him one
of the safest and most conservative can
didates now before the people.
His election which Is already assured
means that the Eighth ward will have
representative in the council who will
look towards the best interests of the
people, whom no inducements can
swerve from the course of rectitude and

Washington, March 29.-Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means commit
tee, announced today that special
meeting Of the committee would be held
at 1880 o'clock on Monday, to consider
the Cuban reciprocity bill.
The announcement was made after
the situation had been thoroughly cam
vassed by Mr.. Payne and his lieutenants,
and they satisfied themselves that the
Payne bill granting 20 per cent tariff
concessions to Cuba commanded sufii-
cient strength to be reported from the
committee by republican votes. Mr.
Paynes announcement brought assur-
ance that the long and bitterly fought
contest was nearing Its close in a Way
satisfactory to the reciprocity advo-
Gates.
While no specific claims We're made.
II was well understood among the ways
and means leaders that reliance could be
placed on nine republican members Of the
committee or just one more than a ma
jority.
Aside from this, the Inquiries of the
ways and means leaders led them to be-
lieve that four and possibly five demo-
cratic votes would be given to the bill.
Their desire, however, had been to re-
port the measure without any reliance
on the minority and this they are now
confident of being able to do.
There were some prospect. however,
of the pairing of members, which might
reduce the total strength on each side.

procity measure would continue TO have

CATTLE TOO WEAK TO STAND THE

EXPECT CONSIDERABLE LOSS
Small Land Owners Have Fenced Up
the Water Holes and May

Over It.
(By Associa ted Press.)

Denver, March pa general storm
prevails on the east slope of the rockies In
Colorado, rain having fallen continuously
in Denver and vicinity for the past "a
hours. At some points on the mountains
the storm has reached the proportions of
a blizzard.
Cattle on the northeastern ranges are
suffering, being in a too weakened condi-
tion from exposure and lack of water to
withstand the present storm. Conditions
in that section are extremely dangerous
and losses are almost sure to come.
Trouble over the fencing in of the
water holes by small herd owners is like
ly to break out at any time unless the
larger stock owners are allowed to drive
their cattle to the watering places.

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March 29.-The repub-
lican members Of the senate committee
on the Philippines held a meeting yes
terday morning and passed finally upon
the provisions of the Philippine gov
ernment bill. The currency question
was the principal topic of conversation
today and the provision for supplying
the Philippines with circulating me-
dunn as prepared by the subcommittee
composed of Senators Allison, Beveridge
and Dubose was finally passed upon.
This provision, as has been heretofore
stated, Is that there shall be coined
Philippine dollar of the same weight and
fineness as the Mexican dollar and the
British dollar. 1t is to be bullion
dollar, but the volume is to be limited
by the demands of business.
The coin will carry an American de-
vice on one side and an oriental de-
sign on the other and it is calculated
that 1t will in time be very popular
coin throughout the Eastern world. The
amendment also provides for subsidiary
coinage sufficient to meet the wants OF
the Philippine people. The coinage Of
this silver will be done both in Amer
lea and in the Philippines. The full
committee will meet on Monday and 1t
Is the hope of the republican members
that the authority will be given to re-
port the bill to the senate.
The provision in regard to mintage
Is that the Philippine currency shall
be coined in the Philippines as soon ms
facilities are provided, but that in the
meantime 1t may be coined in the United
States mint at San Francisco The dol
lar provided is made legal tender in
the Philippines, but not in the United
States.
