NEW SHORT STORIES

Photograph Led to Cabinet.
It is an interesting fact that 9 photo

lands mantelpiece in New York led to
the selection of that gentleman as Sec
rotary Of war in Cleveland's second ad-
ministration, says the Washington
Post.
As the story goes, Senator German
was summoned from Washington to
New York to confer with Mr.. Cleveland
after the latter's election. In the course

The conversation drifted to other top
les, but after awhile Mr.. Cleveland
came back to the cabinet places. Mr..
German was then walking up and
down the room. 1t was 2 o'clock in the
morning.
"If l was t o be president of the Unit
ed States" said Mr.. German finally, II
would put that man in my cabinet" As
he spoke Mr.. German pointed to the
picture of Colonel Lamont, which was
on the mantelpiece.
Mr.. Cleveland laughed. Il never
thought of that" he said. AS Mr.. Cor
man insisted it would be a wise choice
! Mr.. Cleveland smiled.

The facts of a mans life are very diff

now transpires that MI. Percy Fitzger-
AIDS article on Dickens which appeared
in Harper's Magazine for April has
called forth letters from members of

garding Dickens affairs of the heart
which will in all probability never be
settled. says Harper's Literary Gossip.
Apropos of Dickens, it is stated that
the Great White Horse hotel at Ips-
witch was sold at auction the other
day. and many enthusiastic Dickens
lovers attended the sale. This was the

FENCE STATE LAND WITHOUT

ing" in Yellowstone.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Uncle Sam is not the only land
owner who is suffering from trespass-
ers with money enough to buy a lot
of wire and posts, and fence such
lands as they may want to use as
pastures for their focks and herds.
The state of Montana finds itself in
the same ~predicament and has a num-
Der of such unwelcome tenants, and
right here in Yellowstone county at
that. At least such is the belief Of
State Register Long, who is in the
city today for the purpose of conduct
ing a sale of state lands.
Mr.. Long arrived from Helena this
morning and opened for business in
the court house. He had about A.
900 acres of lanas of all kinds to- Of
fersto intending purchasers, but found
noabuyers. Men who wanted to lease,
however, put in their appearance and
Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon II
leases had been executed, covering a
total of $500 acres, with several more
parties waiting to make their selec-
tons, although it was believed that
the bulk of the business had been
transacted.
From the land leased at the time
designated the state will receive an
annual rental of $5O9.5O. AS the
leases are for five years the grand
total will amount to $2,547.5O, all of
which will go into the school fund.
While the sum seems small, Mr.. Long
said it represented an exceptionally
good days business.
While talking to lessees and pros
pective lessees Mr.. Long gained in
formation that surprised him. He
learned that all the way from 10000
to Is, OO acres of the states land is
under fence in this county and for
which those having fenced it hold
neither lease nor deed.
OF course, something will be done
about the matter. The parties who
have built the fences will be notified
that they have been found out and
will be given their choice of three
alternatives-to buy or lease the land,
or remove their fences. While he
believes but few, if any will buy the
lands they are at present unlawfully
holding, Mr.. Long thinks many will
decide to lease them and anticipates
a marked increase in the states rev
ensue from that source, in this county.
All the leases executed were new
ones, none of those previously enter
ed into having expired.

MONTANA HISTORY.

Senator w. A. Clark Supplies the
Funds to RepubIish First Volume.
Helena, May 25.-The trustees Of
the Montana Historical society today
closed a contract for the republication
of the first volume Of the society. 1t
was due solely to the generosity of
United States Senator w. A. Clark
that the society is enabled to re-pub-
lish the volume. This first volume
was published rs years ago, and for
many years it has been out Of print,
the few copies known to exist being
held closely by the fortunate poses
sors.
Librarian Howey has been endeav-
oring to find some philosophical cit
izen who would pay for a reprint of
the volume, and she found him in
Senator Clark. When the senator
heard of the desire Of the trustees,
and of their predicament, and know
ing the value OF the publication from
an historical standpoint, he wrote
that he would bear the es. The
edition will be known as the CLARK
edition.
Twenty years elapsed between the
publication of the first volume Of the
society and the second. The first
volume is a book of about $50 pages,
and was largely prepared by Colonel
Wilbur F. Sanders, Judge Cornelius
Hedges and Granville Stuart. 1t is
filled with interesting contributions
on the early history of the state and
its people, a biographical sketch of
James Stuart, articles on the Yellow
stone park and the first discoveries
of gold at Virginia City. There is an
article by Colonel Delacy, who. as a
government engineer, surveyed the
Mullan road. There is also much In
dian history in the volume.

LORD PAuNcEFOTE DEAD
DISTINGUISHED DIPLOMAT PASS.
ED AWAY PEACEFULLY.
The One False Move Of His Long
Career Said to Have Hasten
ed His Death.

Washington, May 25.-The improve
ment which had been noted in the
condition of Lord Pauncefote during
the past week received a sudden
check Friday evening, when it was
noticed that he was experiencing diff
ficulty in breathing. DIR. Jung, his
physician, was Immediately sent for
and he decided upon a consultation
with a local physician, in the mean
time telegraphing for DR.. Osler Of
Baltimore.
In his stead came DR.. Thayer of
Johns Hopkins university, arriving
about 2 o'clock in the morning. The
patients pulse was still good, and
when DR.. Thayer left the embassy for
Baltimore the ambassador was rest
ing so comfortably that a cablegram
was sent to his son-in-law, Mr.. Brom-
ley, in London, that there was no i'm
mediate danger.
Soon after 3 o'clock a distinct weak
ness developed and his pulse began to
collapse. He died so peacefully that
it surprised even his physician, who
feared that the asthmatic affection
would prove troublesome when the
end came.
At the bedside when the distinguish
ed diplomat passed away, were Mrs.
Pauncefote, the Honorable Maude
P%auncefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss
Audrey, DR.. Jung and Mr.. Radford,
one of the clerks attached to the en-
bassy.
AS soon as it became generally
known that Lord Pauncefote was
dead, flags were half-masted over the
different embassies and legations. At
the Arlington hotel, where the visit
ing Frenchmen who have come to
witness the Rochambeau statue un.
yelling are stopping, the French flag
was placed at halfmast.

The Game Of 'e8,


Washington, May 25.-It is said that
there is a good deal of truth in the
report published at the time Lord
P~auncefote was first taken ill, that his
condition was largely due to mortifi-
cation and chagrin over the dis
closures made by the foreign offices
at Paris and Berlin regarding the part
he played in trying to secure the CO.
operation of the foreign ministers at
Washington to prevent the United
States from declaring war against
Spain. Had Lord Pauncefote's plan
succeeded, this country would have
been greatly annoyed and serious
complications might have arisen.
Other ministers cabled home for in
structions and enough of them were
told not to join Lord Pauncefote to
render. his plan futile.
These disclosures were made sew
eral months ago at the time when
England was trying to pose before
Europe as the especial friend of the
United States. France and Germany
resented her claims and offset them
by making public the Pauncefote pro
gram, which showed that England was
far from being the close friends OF
this country when the Spanish crisis
arrived.
Lord Pauncefote's humiliation was
increased by al intimation from Lon
don that what he had done was moi
authorized by the home office, but
that he had proceeded without in
structions.
How much all this may have had tt
dc with Lord Pauncefote's illness II
not definitely known, but it is claim
ed that he suffered keenly as a re
suit of criticisms leveled against hin
in this country and in Europe. I
was the one diplomatic blunder of /:
long and distinguished career.
