cent offer of the Panama company to

ABOUT PRIVATE PENSIONS
CHAIRMAN OF SENATE COMMIT
TEE MAKES STATEMENT.
All Bills Will Be Closely scrutinized
and Only Modest Sums
Recommended.

Washington, Jan. 8.-During con-
sideration by the senate today Of
private pension legislation some i'm
portant statements were made by Mr..
Gallinger, chairman of the committee
on pensions, in respect to regulations
adopted by the committee to govern
it in the consideration of private PEN
sion bills. He announced that none
but absolutely meritorious cases
would be presented to the senate for
it's consideration and the closest
scrutiny would be given by the com
mittee to every bill introduced. He
said that no pension exceeding $50
a month would be recommended by
the committee for the widow Of a gen
eral officer and that pensions for the
widows of other officers would be
scaled down proportionately.
An interesting case, that of DR..
Lazeare, who at the instance of John
Hopkins university and of the gov
eminent, went to Cuba and submitted
himself to inocculation with yellow
fever through mosquito bites and died
from the disease thus contracted, was
brought to the s%enate's attention by
Mr.. McComas, who inquired whether
DR.. Lazeare's widow would be entitled
to a pension.
No decision vas reached, but it was
the opinion Of Senators Gallinger and
Cockrell that the case had no PEN
sionable status.

President Castro Need Not Hurry
But He Must Paw.


Berlin, Jan. S.-The attention of the
German foreign Office has been direct
ed to the recurrence of stories to the
effect that Germany is about to send
an ultimatum to Venezuela. The for

respondent here, of the Associated
Press, that a reply from President
Castro of Venezuela to the note hand
ed him January q, by the German
charge d. affairs at Caracas has not
yet been received; that Germany will
give Castro a reasonable time in
which to answer and that there is no
disposition unduly to press the presi-
dent of Venezuela.

OLD WOMAN RUNS THINGS
EMPEROR OF CHINA COMPLETE.
~ UNDER CONTROL.
General Tung Fun Slang Ordered De-
capitated BY Edict Of Dowaeer
Empress.

Pekin, Jan. 8.-All outward signs
now indicate that the emperor of
China is now more completely under
the domination of the empress dowa-
ger than he was before the court went
into exile, Several high officials were
today granted an interview during
which the emperor filed the role of
a figure head. The empress dowager
sat on his majesty's left and conduct
ed the conversation. According to
the accounts of two of the officials
who were received, the dowager en-
press ignored the emperor and the
latter did not fattemupt to take any
part in the affair. The principal topic
of conversation during these audi
ences was the presence in Pekin Of
the foreign garrisons. The dowager
empress seemed impressed with the
necessity of a conciliatory policy Evi-
dence accumulates pointing to the
timidity of the dowager empress
about coming back to Pekin. The
dowager empress proposes to decorate
the American apd Japanese officers
who guarded the imperial palace dur
ing the courts absence. She will also
confer decorations upon the officers
and engineers who had charge of the
imperial train during the railway jour
nov from pao Tino Tn
The dowager empress has signed
an edict ordering the decapitation of
General Tung Fuh Slang, the notori-
GUS anti-foreigner. A Tartar general
in Kna SUI province has been ordered
to carry out this sentence. Yuan Shat

WILL MEET AT HELENA.
State Republican Central Committee
Called Together Today.

State Republican Central Committee
Called Together Today.
A call for a meeting of the state
republican central committee has been
made by the chairman and the full
membership of the committee will re-
spond to their names at Helena today.
The object of the meeting is not
stated in the call, but it is presumably
made with a view to securing endorse
ment for the federal appointments in
the state, and for the further object
of combating the efforts made by
Mr.. Goddard of this city and a score of
other republicans from various parts
OF the state who got together the
other night at Helena and made formal
protest against a large number of men
throughout the state who want to con-
tinue their respective berths at the
federal pie counter.
At this time there are some 20 fed
eral offices in the state of which the
terms of the holders have expired.
Some of these e%xpirations date back
as long as six months ago and there
has been much anxiety in certain
quarters as to whether or not these
same men would again be favored by
the appointing power at Washington.
The old regime in most instances, has
the ear of former Senator Carter, who
during the official life of Mckinley
as president had full sway as to Mon
tana federal patronage. On the other
hand the opposing wing of the party
in the state claims that the former re-
publican senator is not alone on the
ground floor with President Roose-
welt and that the best matured plans
for the appointment of men of the
pure Carter faith are liable to failure.
At any rate the outcome of the
present move on the Montana polit-
ical checker board at Helena is inter
estlng to the onlookers and furnishes
no little amusement to the rank and
file of the party membership in the
state.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM SOLD.
Billings Company Sells to Salt Lake
Parties.


N'rom Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
\ While the old name will be retained,
the Billings Telephone company as it
recently existed has passed out and
a new organization has taken it's
place.
Monday night negotiations which
to a successful close and the transfer
was effected. A company composed
principally of Salt Lake men is now
the owner of the system, although A.
l.. Babcock still continues as presi-
dent. D. S. Murray, who took owe
the majority Of the stock, is the vice
president and general manager, and
Harry Somers the secretary and treas
urer: The board of directors consists
of A.. L. Babcock, d. S. Murray, H.
Somers, w. NJ. Johnston, George Y.
Wallace, G. A. S%paulding and F. H.
Foster.
The consideration has not been
made public, but both sides to the sale
express themselves as well pleased,
the sellers saying they got a good
price, while the buyers declare they
got a bargain.
Although the principal stockholders
of the new company are also interest
ed in the Rocky Mountain Bell COM
pany, it will continue as a separate
and independent concern, merely
working in connection with the larger
corporation and as an adjunct to it's
long distance service. The offices of
the two companies, now separately
maintained, will be consolidated and
have quarters in the First National
bank block, where the local system
has it's exchange. This has been de-
clded upon both as a matter of con-
venience and economy.
With the exception of the installa-
ton OF a new switch board and several
other improvements in the exchange
of the Billings company, all the work
outlined by the old company has been
completed and the system is in first

ness, the bullet, which had struck him
under the right arm, having rendered
him unconscious.
Kilby lived about five hours after
having been hit, but declined to talk
about himself or say anything about
his movements since getting away
from the Jail.
Boy Found Unframed.
1t was about half an hour after the
shooting that one of the members of
the posse found Hoffman hid away.
He was pulled out and said he had
been afraid to show himself because
he though he would be shot. +.
He was a badly frightened kid"
but gradually regained his accustomed
nerve when he saw that he was in
no danger Of personal harm. He told
the posse much about the ~wanderings
of himself and Kilby and said that
Kilby had told him he would not leave
the country until he had killed Deputy
Sheriff Harding and Arch Edmiston,
against whom he had a particular
grudge. Hoffman also said that they
had never made camp at a water hole,
as they did not want to leave any
more marks behind than we're abso-
lutely necessary. To secure water for
themselves and animals, he said, they
had melted snow, while for food they
had robbed a number of sheep camps,
in n of which Kilby stole the rifle
and ammunition he had when killed.
Both had also supplied themselves
with clothing in the same name and
had plenty of wearing apparel. With
the exception of the shirt found on
the body, every piece of clothing Kill
by had on when killed was identified
by different men as having been stolen
from them.
Beside the Fenske horse, the two
rustlers had two others. One of these
was the property Of Kilby, which had
been left in a gulch, hobbled, for him
by n of his friends, whom he had
met repeatedly. The other they stole
from the HX ranch. The friend who
had left Kilby's horse for him where
it was found visited Kilby several
times and also helped him to steal
the saddles from the Herly & La
motto ranch. The boy declares he
stayed in camp the night Kilby and
his friend stole the saddles, as they
would not take him along.
OF the shots fired by Kilby at the
members of the posse it is possible
that n took effect, but if so only
slightly. Dick Hinckle received a
scratch on the neck, but whether
made by a bullet or by a piece of fly
ing bark is not known, as he was
standing against a tree when firing
at Kilby.
A Dramatic Feature.
A sensational and dramatic feature
of the whole chase and it's fatal end
ing was the fact that one member Of
the sheriff's party, Tom Hoffman, was
a brother of the boy. While as eager
and determined to catch the fugitives
as any of the others, he. suffered un-
told agony because of the thought that
the hayward boy who had wilfully be-
come the companion of an outlaw
might be killed or even wounded.
When Roy was found unframed the
older brother experienced a melan-
choly joy and his feelings were such
as only Imagination can nicture.
