BEST CATTLE ON EARTH.
]. E, Nissley Tells How Holland
Cares for Mich Cows.

Holland impressed me most in
point OF fine cattle. The Holsteins,
doubtless predominant. | certainly
saw more cattle per square mile in
this little Dutch, quaint, low, level,
water lined country than anywhere
else. Let me digress just for mo-
ment from my subject to say word
about this peculiarly old country.
Fancy a country, which costs its
inhabitants over $S,O0O,OOO year to
keep it above the waves, or to be
more correct, to keep the waves above
it. Where, as soon as they cease
pumping they commence drowning;
where the frog, croaking among the
bullrushes, looks down upon the
swallow on the house-top; and where
ships float high above the chimneys
Of the houses. Fancy a country SO
precarious that its people are trained
at college to fight against water, as
we in the west are legislating and
fighting for water.
Like lower Egypt, much Of Holland
is delta, parts Of which are even
thirty feet below the ocean. Where
the wild waves Of the North Sea have
been literally walled out by dykes.
Yet such is Holland. A little, odd,
quaint, interesting country all on one
floor. Miles upon miles OF canals
stretching their shining lengths in
every direction, forming their
highways, their lanes, and even
even fences or dividing lines between
fields and farms. Upon which you
see barges with merchandise, pro.
duce, and passengers, gliding along
smoothly. In the bright green fields
many Of them lakes, before the
Dutchman pumped them dry and
converted them into rich pastures,
herds OF black and white cattle quiet
ly cropping the moist grass, and as
superbly odd back ground, like mon
strous giants, stand hundreds of
Dutch windmills that seem more like
useless conglomerations of clumsi.
ness rather than an absolute thing of
necessity. OF all the wcrld Holland
is most interesting. And Of all her
resources her cattle are rot the least
important,
In every town of any consequence,
cattle markets seem to be the most
conspicuous centers, where folks con-
gregate for general barter and sale.
Holland makes a great deal Of butter,
good butter, yet the character is
somewhat different from that made
in our country. 1t is a mild, rather
salvey product, and one Of the Pc
culiar characteristics Of not only Hol-
land, but OF all the European butter,
is the lack OF salt. think nowhere
do they salt the butter even half as
much as we do, while in many in
stances for local consumption, it is
not sailed at all. The principal mar
ket for Holland is across the North
Sea, England. j. 4. NIssLEY.

CulIom, Spreckles and John.

Mr.. Cullom of Illinois appears to
entertain more liberal views regard
ing the exclusion of the Chinese from
America than the Chinese govern
ment itself. He is afraid that the bill
as passed by the house Monday goes
too far and contravenes our treaty
obligations with China. He is as pro-
foundry impressed concerning our
solemn obligations in this particular
as the Hon. WI Ting Fang. The fact
that the Chinese government by the
convention of 1894 agrees to the ex-
clusion of Chinese laborers from
American soil does not impress the
gentleman from Illinois.
The only way to exclude the Chi
nese is to exclude them. There may
be something in the protest of Claus
Spreckles and his friends in San
Francisco that Chinese merchants
should be admitted. Do this, how
for fraud The willy Chinaman can
not forget the tricks that are vain,
and the best way to practice them.
Besides, Mr.. Spreckles is not alto
gether disinterested. He is large
employer Of Chinese labor on his SUI
car plantations in Hawaii, which he
no doubt finds cheaper than white Ia
Dor, and he sees where any kind of
an exclusion bill will interfere with
his aims and ambitions. Particularly
does he see this in an exclusion bill,
somewhat drastic in it's character, the
provisions of which are extended to
our colonial possessions.
Mr.. Spreckles is a biased judge
and cannot sit in the case.-Inter

DANISH WEST INDIES.
The Country, the people and the Flu
ture Prospects.

Havre, April 7-Among the pas
sengers on No. yesterday was Ras-
mus Elsinore, Dane, on his way
to Seattle. He had come almost di-
rectly from st. Thomas, the princi-
pal one of the Danish West Indies.
When asked about public sentiment
in the islands regarding becoming
American territory, he said: "Of
course, there are ties binding us to
the mother country but they are
mere sentiment. All other considera-
lions impel us to wish for annexation
to the United States. Our business
interests are practically all Ameri-
can. There is no decided opposition
among the islanders.
est Thomas has an area of but so
square miles, and a population of 49,
600 souls, yet the strategic position
of the island makes it more valuable
to the United States than is Cuba.
1t is the keystone of the West In
dies. While you do not need it SO
much as before the acquisition of
Porto Rico, still it's strategic power
is immense. You cannot afford to
let any other nation secure it. You
remember that Secretary of State
Seward offered Denmark 100000
in gold for it in 1866, but congress
neglected or refused to appropriate
the money. That was a great blum
der in American craftsmanship"
tCnnolyino Of h ic1o f11Y.
lAer, he said that most of the people
are colored, with many of them ex
hibiting very many changes OF
color and features. Intermarriage
with various white nationalities has
resulted in a race with no few good
the negro's paradise, but the white
race cannot stand the climate as the
black man does, though the hills OF
ST Thomas insure cool sea breezes
Our little islands are very fertile
and prolific. but the native and hall
blood population seem to lack the
energy to improve it's possibilities
The land and the waters both teen
with STRANGE life. In the sea we
have red and blue snappers, the king
fish the zebra fish, the peacock fish
COW fish, whipray, grinets, angel fish
iand many others.
st Thomas, St. Croix and st
ohm are the only possessions of Den
mark in the West Indies. By theil
names, you see we are very fond o
saints

will make an ideal coaling station

Jack Jolly and Jack Warren.

Jack jolly at one time marshal of
Butte, and Joe Warren, formerly
chief of police of Spokane, have been
having a lively time in Nome, Alas
ka. Jolly has been fighting Warren
and Warren mas been fighting Jolly,
but from all accounts the latter has
the best of the argument.
Jolly is now police of Nome and
Warren has been his captain, but he
is not captain now because Jolly will
not have him.
A short time ago Warren preferred
charges against Jolly and an investi-
cation by the city council resulted in
the exoneration of Jolly Warren
charged Jolly with standing in with
a gang of Nome thieves and the coun-
Gil called jolly to explain. AS is Gus
tomary in such cases, something hap
pened to Warren's witnesses-some
refused to testify, while others did
not appear before the council as they
had promised Warren they would.
Consequently, Warren was unable to
sustain his charges and Jolly was ex-
onerated.
jolly and Warren are both well
known in the west. After Jolly was
ousted from the position of chief of
the Butte police department, he went

d'Alenes attended the funeral. Many
of them were blood relatives of Lot.
A number of the Nespelim Indians
on the Colville reservation, also at
tended the funeral
Lot was Presbyterian, a profess
ing Christian and was buried accord
ing to the simple rites of his faith.
On July 4, however, the Indians will
probably hold a swol-si-itlin in mem
DRY of his life and death. 1t is the
custom on such occasions for the i'm
mediate family of the deceased to
give away large portions of their
property. Three years ago, when
Lots son John died from drinking
pure alcohol, Chief Lot gave a swol-
sl-itlin, at which he gave away nearly
all his worldly goods. Since then he
| has not been rich, although he left a
fine ranch with big log cabin on it..
With the passing of Chief Lot a
good Indian departed this world. He
was made a chief when he was quite
young, and his father was chief be-
| fore him. Early in his career Cnief
Lot became firmly convinced lAat the
dominance of the white race was GER
tain, and that white civilization could
not be permanently checked. He adj
vised his people to submit to the in
evitable. His voice was always for
peace.
Lot had no reputation as a fighter.
1t is doubtful if he was ever in a
skirmish of any consequence. On one
the Indians from Montana were COM
ing over the Lo Lo trail to massacre
the whites, he gave the warning in
time for the whites in Idaho and
Washington to prepare for their de-
tense. Lot did not believe in asking
So firmly had he been convinced that
white supremacy was inevitable that
he asked only that the government
should establish schools to educate
his people. He advised the Indians
under his command to adopt the
white style of living, to abandon the
customs of savagery and to follow
the pursuits of agriculture.
Chief Lot possessed the gift of ora
tory in marked degree. He spoke
little or no English, but under his
skillful tongue the dialect of his
tribe became potent influence in
swaying his followers. He was espe
cially a funeral orator, and in his
tribe no funeral was thought com
plete unless the chief delivered an
grafton.

DEATH OF CHIEF LOT.
Spokane Indian Who Was Indeed a
Noble Red Man.

Chief Lot of theLower Spokane In
dams, who ranked as one of the
G5lest chieftains among the north
western Indians, died Monday at his
residence at Wellpenit, on the Spo-
Kane Indian reservation. He was
about 60 years of age and had been
ailing for some time prior to his
death. The cause of his death is not
known definitely.
Chief Lots funeral was held last
Wednesday at the Presbyterian mis-
sion, on the reservation, which was
about four miles from the log cabin
home of the deceased. AS soon as
his death occurred Red Hawk, one
of the tribesmen, was dispatched to
Spokane on fleet cayuse to tele-
prone the Indians OF the Occur
d'Alene reservation that Lot had gone
to the happy hunting grounds. Red
Hawk fulfilled his mission, and as a
result large number of Occur

CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY.
Movement to Delay 1t Until April
Gains Force.

Washington, April 8.-The agita-
ton in favor of changing the date
OF inauguration of the president from
March 4 to the latter part of April
received an impetus at the meeting
Of the national committee. The
change has been advocated mainly
owing to the inclemency of the
weather of early March.
Most of the governors of the states
and territories accepted service on
the committee and the letters re.
ce1ved from them generany showed
desire for a change in the inaugu
ration date. 1t was agreed that the
chairman should appoint an execu.
tive committee and such other com
m1ttees as might be necessary.
1t was resolved as the sense of the
committee that the date of the inau
guration day should be changed from
March 4 to the last Thursday Oh
April, but that no particular bill OF
resolution should be advocated. In
cldentally, the question of the exten
sion of the term of congress was con
sidered, and it was agreed that this
committee had nothing to do witt
the question of when congress should
adjourn. TIE proposition to fix Apri

was unanimously in favor of the las

to Spokane, where he met Warren.
He was appointed a deputy marshal
in that city during the Coxey army
troubles and while endeavoring to ar
rest some of the army he received a
bullet which came very near to end
ing his career.
After recovering from the effects
or the gun wound, he returned to
Butte and made himself obnoxious
by his gun and knife plays.
While endeavoring to make a rough
house out of a "speak-easy" gambling
house over the Mint saloon, in North
Main street, he stabbed Bill Byther,
one of the proprietors of the house,
and the wound was responsible for
Byther's death.
While nursing the wound, Byther
contracted typhoid fever and in one
of his delirious moments jumped
from the window of his room to the
pavement below, distance of about
40 feet, and died a few days later.
jolly was convicted of assault in
the first degree on Byther and sent
to the penitentiary for three years.
He served his time, then returned to
Butte and remained until the gold ex-
element broke out when he emf
grated to the Klondike. He lived
there until his identity was discov-
cred and then went to Nome, where
he was made chief of police.
Jolly and Warren were good friends
then and jolly appointed Warren mis-
captain, but the captain did not like
the style of the chief and made
charges of corruption against him.
Jolly was a. decent man when he
first came to Butte. By occupation
he is a blacksmith. Before he be-
came marshal of Butte he conducted
shop in Arizona street.
While engaged in that business he
took unto himself a wife in The per-
son of Mollie DuMurski, keeper of a
notorious house in Wyoming street
From that time on his descent
seemed to be rapid and he wound up

tiary.-Inter Mountain.
