Seems That Dixon's Plurality
Is Certain But Gradually
Getting Larger.
JODAY'S REPORTS HAVE
MADE SOME CHANGES
Vote for State Senator in Granite and
Fergus Counties Is Close but Be-
eved That the Republican Senators
Are Elected-No Change From Yes
terday's Estimates as to the Political
Complexion Of the Next Legislature.
ESPECIAL TO INTER MOUNTAIN j

ESPECIAL TO INTER MOI NTAIN.l
Helena, Nov. 6.-Unoffcal, but veri-
fed figures, show that Joseph M. Dixons
plurality in this state will be about 6,a3a
and that Judge Holloway will have not
less than 10000.
The surprise came from Silver Bow
county, which gave Dixon a plurality OF
nearly 700. 1t was expected that Mr..
Evans would receive at least 1000 plur-
ality In that county.
The vote in Granite county is close on
state senator, but there is but little doubt
that the republican is elected. For the
legislature the republicans make a gain OF
one from the first returns
One of the surprises for the republi-
cans comes from Fergu county, where the
vote for state senator is very close, and
several precincts to hear from. 1t is
thought, however, that Waite, the republi-
can, is elected by small majority.
There is great rejoicing in this city over
the result of the election, and it is now
certain that the state has returned to the
republican fold to remain indefinitely, at
least that is the opinion of majority of
the politicians of all parties.
Today's figures do not materially change
the probable majority in both branches of
the state legislature, and the following is
as near correct as it is possible to get at
the present time.

SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
OF HOLDING ISL ANOS
Time for Subscribing to the Stock Of
Danish West India Company
Has Expired.
Ley ASSOCIATED pREss. !

Copenhagen, Nov. 6.-The time for sub
scribing to the stock Of the Danish West
Indian company has expired OF the
500 900 nominal capital only one iftieth
was subscribed for notwithstanding tho
advertisement given to the concern by
King Christian and Crown Prince Freder-
ick taking stock The promoters who are
anti-salers, are downcast because of the
weakness of sentiment in favor Of the
Danish West Indies. The leaders of the
movement intend to appeal to King George
of Greece, Queen Alexandra and the dowa-
ger czarina Of Russia to buy shares. The
banks and individuals will probably face
the matter and stand the loss since the
treaty for the sale of the Danish West
Indies to the United States was rejected
partly on account Of theis promises.

BO{RS SIT BY AND

IN THE PARLIAMENT.
tBY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

London, Nov. 6.-Generals Botha and
Delarey and ex-President Schalkberger
were witnesses of last nights debate in
the house of commons over the civil SER
vice estimate, placing the additional
amount required as grant to aid the
Transvaal and Orange River colony dur
ing the present fiscal year at $4,000, 900,
which ended in agreeing to vote the sum
in question.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain deprc-
Gates pessimism over South African
affairs. He said the fact that the Boer
prisoners would all be repatriated this
year exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions. He declared that his sole aes.-e
in going to South Africa was to bring to-
gether a kindred people.

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1902-11-06

People passing the big Symons Depart

tracted to broken plate glass in the front
of one of the show windows. AS the mat
ter stands burglars broke into the window
early this morning and looted it of the en-
tire display of jewelry that was being ex-

There are three watchmen who patrol
the store all night and do porter work. 1t

sisted of watches and few diamonds, the
most Of the gems having been taken out
for the night. Tags and jcwelry boxes
were found scattered through the alley
west Of the store and leading south. 1t is
thought that the burglars fled in that di-
rection.

ing DR.. Mellen, who rooms in the block
across from the Symons store, heard a
noise and looking out of the window, he
saw the hole IN the glass. But there were
no people on the street. He rung up the
police and hurried investigation was
made but no clcw to the thieves was
found.
Inquiry at the store reveals the fact
that there was between 5000 and $500
worth of jewelry in the window. It con

work upon, 1t is taken, however, that
there must have been three men in the
job. Nothing was found in the window
with which the glass had been broken, and
it is believed that hammer was used for
that purpose. The robbers must have
been very quiet, as none Of the people on
the inside of the store heard anything
about it. 1t is taken that they blanseted
their work. The Symons store carries
plate glass insurance and will therefore be
out only the value Of the jewelry.

one of the most pathetic sights in
Washington is that of the old women
who are struggling to keep their posi-
tiOns i'm the government departments.
Some of them are feeble through age,
many are semi-invalids and almost all
of them have persons dependent upon
them. They have obtained their places
through influence of relatives, and their
tenure of Office frequently depends up
on the continuance i'm power or autho-
rity of these relatives. Not few of
them are woefully inefficient, but they
struggle with Woman's persistency 10
