Special to The Journal. -
& Helena, Mont, Nov. 18.-East Helena, g.
smelter town, six miles east, sustained a
serious fire this morning that destroyed
five frame buildings, entailing loss Of
about $4,000. An overturned lamp or
overheated stove in Matt Multz's saloon
started the fire. A strong wind was blow
ing, and rs the town has no waterworks
or fire lighting apparatus, it looked seri-
GUS for a short time.
Mayor Edwards of Helena and the Hell
ena fire department fastened to East
Helena on electric cars, taking with them
a fire steamer upon a fiat car. BY MAX
ing connections with Prickly Pear creek
the fire engine was able to throw water
upon the burning buildings and soon ex-
tinguished the flames. Manager Braden
of the smelter company organized a.
bucket brigade among the employees and
thus aided In putting out the fire. 7

UNIT RULE FOR HENNEPIN.
Delegation Made No Choice for Speaker
Last EvenInq.

Hennepin's house delegation did not in
dorse a candidate for speaker last eve
ming, and did not put forward a home
candidate Instead, the fifteen present
adopted the unit rule, and agreed to a
steering committee of five, which was
given full power to act for the delegation
in all matters affecting the organiza ton
Of the house. The committee appointed
consisted of one old member as chairman
and four new men. George w. Armstrong
is chairman, and the new members are
J. D. Shearer, Manly l.. Fosseen, Thomas
H. Girling and George R.. Smith. There
was a considerable sentiment in favor Of
indorsing Babcock. The old members,
who had been over the ground in the aft
ernoon, were sure Babcock would win.
Some Of the new men felt that positive
proof ought to be given and, insisted on
deferring the Endorsement until to-day at
least. The only Endorsement voted was
for Julius Sch1nahl for chief clerk.
The meeting was held in the law office
Of Representative w. w. Bardwell. r.
c. Deming was elected chairman of the
house delegation, a position which he
also filled two years ago. Thomas Fl.
Girling was elected secretary. Every one
of the fifteen republicans were present and
the session was harm onious.

Many Hours as They Want to.


Many Hours as They Want to. 80
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1s.-The independ-
ent coal miners last night filed their
answer with the strike commissioners.
The statement in part is as follows:
Ihe non-union mine workers here pre-
sent the following demands:
First-For an increase Of 20 per cent
upon the price paid during the year 1901,
to employees performing contract and piece
work.
"Second-For like increase Of 20 per
cent upon the price paid during the year
ISol, TO employees paid by the hour, day
or week We insist upon a right to work
as many hours as we choose and as opDor-
tun1ty affords, so as to better our condi
lions and increase our earning capacity.
'"Third-We demand the adoption at
each colliery Of whatever methods may be
necessary to secure for the miners a. min
1mum rate Of e5 cents per ton.
"Fourth-We protest against the max
ing OF any agreement between the United
Mine Workers OF America and our en-
ployers determining what wages shall be
paid to US and what shall be the con-
d1tions OF our employment or pretending
TO zeal In any respect whatever with
our rights or interests as mine workers,
F11th-We earnestly protest against
any agreement being made by our en-
ployers with the United Mine Workers
OF America, for the reason that any agree
ment, II made, will render it impossible
for us to continue to earn our living bv
our labor in and about the mines in
which we are now employed, and to which
such agreement applies, and will subject
us and our families to all manner OF
abuse, violence, outrage and probably
murder"
The non-union men insist that it shall
be an indispensable condition to any
dealing whatever with any members of the
mine workers, union that they shall be
required to desist from all manner al
annoyance to us and our families and shall
permit us to exercise our right to LIVING
IN any lawful manner we choose"
The statement protests against any rule
by which favoritism will be shown tc
union miners in the distributing of cars
in the mines. The statement Is signed
simply "Non- Union Mine Workers.

CHOLERA IN PALESTINE
The Populations Of GAIA and LYDIA

jerusalem, Nov. 1s-The cholera cpl
demic is spreading rapidly. The popula-
ton of GAIA and LYDIA Guddl have been
decimated and the authorities are taking
flight. At Jaffa there have been fifty
seven deaths in three days.

The action Of the first tomorrow depends
on developments meanwhile. Babcock
claims four Of the fifteen. but the opposi-
ton say the district will line up for Burns
or for Lawrence Johnson. BE- r.
Babcock's Strong Claims.
w. E. Verify, manager Of the Babcock
campaign, said to-day.
We have votes enough pledged to win,
without Hennepin. They are raising the
anti administration cry against us now.
We can't help that, although there is
nothing In it. The contest is really over
and we have not hurried it. The situation
has lined up. for Babcock without any real
campaign"
The Babcock boomers claim for their
men four out of the first district, five from
the second, eight of the third districts
ten, seven from the fourth, eleven from
the sixth, two from the seventh, nine
from the eighth, and at least five from the
ninth. This gives Babcock 81 votes, and
1t only takes 50 to nominate. Henne-
pins fifteen would be more than enough
Hennepin's steering committee wants to
pc known. If these claims can be proved,
it means that Babcock does not need, Hen
nepin, and the delegation will have to
yield If the issue appears doubtful,
they are likely to hold off until after the
hrst caucuses. There are both Babcock
and anti-Babcock men on the steering
committee, which now seems likely to
name the speaker.
The situation favors Babcock to-day.
and Hennepin- Is likely to go Ito him.
Nothing is decided yet,z and if the field
rallied tonight, the contest may be a
protracted one.
Were in no hurry said one Of the
antis., 1--WE. have seven weeks to pick
speaker and nothing else to do. 1t is
an important matter, let us take our
time" ,.A., - !. ~ 800 ii -,

that he was a railroad merger candidate.
He said:
I'm reply to that can only refer you
to an interview I gave out shortly after
the governor commenced his action T
Endorsed him heartily in his action and
have always stood by him in it. The vote
we gave him in Wadena county ought to

A SHOCK TO THE SOUTH AFRICANS.

statement by ]. b. Robinson, chairman of the

business was such to induce the directors to
recommend reduction Of the banks capital BY

that If the Robinson bank could not see It's way

Minneapolis, June 21.-Jurors in the
Norbeck bribery case were discharged
yesterday. 1t was the states expecta-
ton to proceed yesterday, but after
conference with Judge Harrison, it
was agreed that the best course would
be to drop the case where it is. This
indictment, or any Of the others
against Norbeck, can be moved at any
time he can be brought into court. The
detective is now a fugitive from JUS
tice and the admission Of guilt implied
by his flight has as much of moral
effect upon the forces Of corruption as
conviction would have been. Judge
Harrison expressed great regret that
he had not the power to order the trial
to go on so that the case could be sub
mitted to the jury. 1t was with evil
dent reluctance that he discharged the
twelve men selected to try the case,
but he had no other alternative.
