Washington, Dec. 5.-Bulletin: The
Subcommittee Of the house judiciary COM
mittee having trust legislation under con-
sideration today reported favorably to the
full committee the publicity bill. Then
the committee referred this bill and all
others to special Subcommittee, consist
Ing of Messrs. Littefeld Overstreet, Pow
ers, Clayton and Dearmond.
This being Friday, the house devo9 d
the day to the consideration of bills OH the
private calendar.
The unexpected turn in the Cuban treaty
negotiations at Havana have greatly sur
prised the officials here, who had every
reason to believe from Minister Squier's
reports that the treaty was practically an
accomplished fact. Now that it is to be
thrown into the house Of representatives
at Havana with nationalist majority
supposed to be hostile to the establishment
of closer relations with the United States,
it is feared that the treaty is lost, for ii
not rejected outright, it is almost certain
to be amended so as to make it unaccept-
able to the United States.
When the president comes to take up the
question of the succession to the vacancy
caused by the death of Minister Buck at
Toxic, it is understood he will name John
Barrett of Oregon, at present commission
er general of the St. Louis exposition to
Asia and Australasia, to be minister.

the storm is much milder.
In this city the storm developed into
blizzard as the day grew. About an inch

Forsyth, Dec. 5.-The determination of
the people of Rosebud county to unearth
the rascalities connected with the So
called "Heinze movement" here is made
manifest in the election contest proceed
ings which have begun. Proceedings have
been instituted against +. w. Longley,
democratic candidate for county treas
urer; A. W. Bailey democratic candidate
for county clerk and recorder, and Thomas
Alexander and N. J. Humphreys, demo-
cratic county commissioners. The cases
have been set for trial at special term
of court to be held at Forsyth beginning
December 20 next.
c. r. Lane makes the complaint in be-
half of Maurice Bentell, Roderick Nc
Rae, J. C. Hope and Freeman Philbrick,
who were republican candidates for
county commissioners Z. A. Carleton of
Helena and John c. Lindes of Forsyth
represent the contestants.
The defendants will be represented by
w. S. Metz of Sheridan, Wyo.; Z. J.
Dierks and +. V. II. Collins.
1.-THE Heinze Movement"
The complaint filed is full of interest
and gives the public an inlSling as to the
"Hcinze movement" in this county. The
chief allegations are that of "colonizing
and conspiracy" between ]. S. Hopkins,
w. ]. Nix, Fred Ramsay and William
Mccarthy, alias "Anheuser Kid" to bring
in enough Heinze heelers from Anaconda,
Butte and other places to change the re-
suit of the election
It is alleged that 200 such persons
arrived in Rosebud county under this
agreement just in time to register and

Contest Proceedings Which Promise Disclose the Most

that they left on election day or a few
days after. II is also alleged that large
sums of money were used and that five
registration lists were padded and that
many illegal votes were cast, that the
board of commissioners eervmandered
the county, throwing republican pre-
cincts together in district, which
obliged many Of the voters to travel
from forty to sixty miles to register and
vote. It is claimed that a ballot box
of Forsyth was taken and kept for 48
hours before its delivery to the county
clerk and that during that time It was
broken into and part Of the contents
taken.
Wholesale Colonization
1t is alleged that the Burlington rail-
road owns in fee right of way through
the Crow Indian reservation in this
county; that the right of way is $50 feet
wide and 40 miles long, and that over
hundred republicans who pay taxes into
the county treasury were allowed no regis
tration district nor election precinct.
These contests are result of what is
known as "the Heinze movement" in
which large number of men were shipped
into this county to work on the ranches,
irrigation bitches and SO forth, in order
to secure a state senator friendly to the
Heinze interests from this county.
William Mccarthy known as the "An-
heuser KID" it is alleged, had charge of
these men, and was recently released by
certain Silver Bow officials before the
Rosebud county sheriff could arrive. He
is wanted as a witness in these cases.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Minister Barrett,
who is slated for the post at Japan, is now
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
Straits settlements. He has been working
to secure a good assistant representation
at the st. Louis exposition and his efforts
have been attended with success, for he
has induced both China and Japan to EN-,
bark upon large governmental exhibits
when they had decided not to be repre-
sented in that way. He is now bound for
Australia, where it is his hope to change
the minds OF the premiers in Australia and
New Zealand.

There is more than ever mystery con-
cerning the disappearance Of ]. W. Smith
who was to arrive in Butte about October
S from New York. Diligent search by his
friends and anxious inquiries from his

it is feared that he has met with serious
accident or foul play.
j. w. Smith was in Butte last spring for
sonlething over two months During that
time he found employment at several OF
the paint shops in the city and roomed at
the Hughes block in South Main street.
While here he became interested in gold
mine near Twin Bridges, owned by Mr..

went back to New York ostensibly to get
some of his friends with money to assist
in the development of the property. When
