MONTANA LEGISLATURE FAILED
TO MAKE APPROPRIATION.
CONfEREES CAN NOT AGREE
Fact That Senate Named Commissions
ers in Appropriation Bill Re-
sponsible for Its Defeat.
Especial to The Gazette.

Helena, March 6.-When the legis-
lature adjourned at midnight last
night there closed n of the most
bitter contests ever witnessed in the
legislative body Of the state over a
bill carrying a appropriation. This
was over the st. Louis fair bill. Sew
eral days ago the senate passed a
bill carrying with it an appropriation
of $42, 900 and naming Paul McCor-
mick of Billings, Major McGinniss of
Helena, w. G. Conrad of Great Falls
and former Senator Mantle and II.
l.. Frank of Butte as commissioners
The house committee objected to
raising the appropriation in the SEN
ate from $4,000 to $42, 900, although
it developed during the night that the
raise in the appropriation was not
the real ground for the house refus-
ing to concur in the bill as it was
passed by the senate The real trou-
BILE in the house was owe the names
of the gentlemen named by the senate
in the bill to be commissioners. The
gentlemen named by the senate did
not suit the house and the senate re-
fused to make a change. The latter is
the real reason why the st. Louis
fair bill failed to become a law.
Former Senator Carter, who is
chairman of the government commits
sion of the St. Louis exposition, left
town a few days ago, having been call
ed to that city to attend a business
session of the body of which he is
chairman. Ii is not known whether
Mr.. Carter assisted in selecting the
commission named in the bill passed
by the senate. Friends of the senate
measure, however, declare that Mr..
Carter was not consulted.

BIDS ON BONDS.
Five Proposals Are Received for
Court House Issue.

FIM Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Mn accordance with it's advertise
.ent calling for proposals on the
court house bond issue the board of
county commissioners met today for
the purpose of opening and consider
ing the bids submitted. Only five
tenders were received and consider
able surprise was manifested by some
of the visitors that none of the bids
made tender of a substantial premium,
as it was believed that because of
the nature of the security offered
some of the proposals would contain
a substantial advance over par. Fol-
lowing were the bidders:
Otis Wilson & Co, par and 81 perm
ium for the entire issue of $75,C00.

N. w. Harris & Co., par, bonds to be
issued in denominations of $1,000,
each.
The bid of Kean & Co. was not con-
sidered, as it did not come within the
requirements under which the bonds
are issued, calling for a higher rate of
interest than that the county agrees
to pay.
On.motion the bid of the Thomas
Cruise Savings bank was accepted.
This brought out a vigorous pro-
test from the representative of Otis
| Wilson & Co, who maintained that
his proposal was the highest and best
and that his house was entitled to Sc.
cure the bonds.
After some discussion between the
commissioners and the agent Chair
man Parker announced that the
board would consider the matter more
at length and would its final

FAIR TRIAL is CALLED FoR
First Application Under New Law
Made in Contested Election Case.

WAGE III SOTLCSlCQ GtCStlOu ScSVs
Butte, March 5.-The first applica-
ton made in the courts OF this county
for a change of judges under the Fair
Trial" bill was presented in the dis
trict court this afternoon.
When Judge Clancy's division OF
the district court was reconvened at
2 o'clock Attorney w. E. Carroll, who
is counsel for p. Y. Ryan, contesting
the election of County Clerk and Re
corder Weston, asked that, under the
application of said Ryan, Judge Clancy
petition the supreme court to name a
district judge from some other county
to come here and adjudicate the mat
ter OF said contest.
In his petition Ryan sets forth that
he was a candidate for the Office of
recorder and county clerk OF the dem
ocratic ticket; that at the last cleo
ton feeling ran high and there is rea-
son to believe that by reason of the
political faith Of the court the contest
ant, Ryan, cannot get a fair and i'm
partial trial before the judges of the
district courts in this district.
Judge Clancy allowed Mr.. Carroll
to file the request for a change of
judges, but stated that he would not
pass upon the matter until later, as
he wished to familiarize himself with
the conditions of the Fair Trial"
bill.

$4,000 Purse.
New York, March 6.-The contest
between Tom Sharkey and Jack Nun.
roe, which was arranged some weeks
ago, will be decided at Butte, Mont,
next summer. The purse Of 10000,
which the Broadway Athletic club Of
that city offered a few days ago, has
been accepted by both men, and all
that is necessary to make the con-
test a fixture is for the club to post
the forfeit and the men to sign the
articles of agreement. The pugilistS
announce they will do this as soon as
the papers arrive here. The articles
have already been drawn up by the
Sharkey and Munroe have already
posted a forfeit and have asked the
club to put up $4,000, the same to be
divided equally between the men
should anything crop up whereby the
mill cannot be held. According to
the present schedule the fight will be
decided in July, possibly on the
Fourth. Munroe has been doing some
light work, but will not settle down
to hard training until a month before
the battle. His theatrical engage
ments will not expire until late in
May.
1t is intimated that Munroe has
made at least $4,000 since he jumped
into prominence by staying four
rounds with Champion Jeffries.
Sharkey, who is always in fair shape,
is going to train zealously for Mum
roe. He regards the miner as a tough
proposition, and realizes that another
defeat will put him out of the game
forever.
Sharkey will ecure quarters in
Butte and will leave for the west in
six weeks time.

To use an eighteenth century

GRIFFITH IN "MAcBETH."
Assumption Of a Mantle That Is Not
Warranted.

HSSOftiRtiOu VI q udI5ltC Iudk 10 bNOt
Warranted.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
In assuming to lay claim 10 the
mantle of a Barrett, Mccullough, For
rest or any of the "other mighty mas
tiers of %stagecraft who have gone be-
FORE" Mr.. John Griffith shows what
great daring a man may be capable Of
when spurred on by vaulting ambi-
tion and a wrongful conception of his
own ability. The Macbeth" of that
gentleman's creation is unlike any
that has EVER strutted the stage or
been consumed by remorse for the
murder of good, old King Duncan.
Probably never have the immortal
lines of the famous tragedy been read
as he reads them; probably never
has there been the same Interpretation
given the character that he gives it.
Horrible facial distortions, frightful
grimaces and malevolence of look and
action that bring recollections Of
Thomas keene as the fiendish Glou-
cester are some of the features that
make his rendition remarkable
ludicrous at times-but without the
power of bringing into play any OF
the subtler arts of the skilful actor to
revive memories of the really famous
"Macbeths" and to relieve the coarse
ness and misinterpretation that mark
his work throughout the entire per-
formance. Ranting and believing
where thoughtful rcprospection and
quiet force should prevail of itself
would spoil the lines of any drama
ever written. S%oliloquizing in tones
that shake the house and expressing
agony of soul and anguish of mind in
distortion of features until they be-
come diabolical in ti~endishness may
be the Grifiithian idea of conveying
the struggle within and picturing some
of the more pathetic of the human
emotions, but none of the men who
have preceded him in the part ever
adopted it. and they were content to
act as a man supposedly in real life
would act under like circumstances.
There may be worse "Macbeths" than
Mr.. Griffith; Sanford Dodge, for in
stance, or even James Owen O'Con-
nor might have been capable Of more
maliciously, wilfully and wantonly
numbering the part, but it is doubt
full.
In pleasing contrast to the acting OF
the star was that of Miss Ripley, as
Lady Macbeth. She sustained that
diff cult and exacting part in a really
admirable manner. Particularly strong
was she in the first act, and in each
succeeding act gave unmistakable evil
dence of possessing marked histronic
| ability and much talent. Her con-
s~cientious and at times brilliant act
ing was the one redeeming feature of
the entire performance. Without her
not even the fireworks that Mr.. Crit
fifth introduces as mementoes OF
Faust" would have saved the play
from a failure pitiable as it would
have been painful. I
