FOUND CACHE
OF DYNAMITE
EXPLOSIVE DISCOVERED IN HAY
STACK NEAR TOWNSEND.
NO CLUE TO ITS OWNER
Regarded as Part Stolen from Helena
Firm Aabout Three Weeks
Ago.

Helena, Oct. S.-The latest develop
ment in the Northern Pacific dynamite
outrages is the finding in a haystack
near Townsend of 70 pounds of dyna-
mite. The stacks are located about
a mile and a half from the Northern
Pacific tracks.
The dynamite was found weakness
day morning by IN employee of Nick
ROWS, a sheepman. ROWS runs his
sheep in the Mills about 10 miles
from the haystacks. Wednesday
morning he sent one of his hands
to the stacks to straighten them up,
and in doing SO the man found the
powder. The dynamite was in a
seamless sack and this was enclosed
in a sugar sack. Tied around each
end of the sack was a piece Of rope.
Some of the sticks had been broken,
but the most of them were whole.
After the find the railroad people
were notified, and they made an ex-
animation. The first idea was to have
the stacks watched in the hope that
the person who had hid the dynamite
would go after it, but whcn the de-
tectives arrived on the scene the ranch
hands had torn the stack up and
changed it so that if the person who
had concealed the powder got within
half a mile of the place he could see
his cache had been lifted.
The man who hid the dynamite left
no clew that could be followed. The
dynamite was placed in the stack be-
tween 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and
Wednesday morning. If it belonged
to the man who dynamited the freight
train eight miles west of Helena Mon
day night, he had a full day after the
one explosion to go from the scene
of the explosion to Townsend, a dis
lance of 40 miles.
The powder is believed to be part

LOOKS LIKE MISS M'kEE.
Great Falls Girl Leads in Fair Relay
Race.

Helena, Oct. 8.-Almost 10 seconds
ahead of Miss Gets, % seconds ahead
Of Miss Parker, and with IL out OF the
20 miles in the ladies' relay ace
covered, Miss Blanch Mckee of Great
Falls, begins to resemble the winner
of this exciting speed event. Today
the Great Falls girl came under the
wire the winner by almost an eighth
of a mile, and increased the lead she
had established the day before.
Miss Mckee today because her
horses were faster than those ridden
by Miss Gets, and because she could
change mounts much quicker than
could Miss Parker. In actual run
ming time Miss Parker led, but when
she ran her horses into the stall and
attempted to change she was much
slower than either of the other girls.
This was notably true in the last
change today, when Miss Parker went
into the stall less than two lengths
behind Miss Mckee, and yet the lat
ter was nearing the quarter mile post
when the Broadwater county girl
started Of the last lap.
Miss Parker is the only one of the
riders using jockey saddles, and as
she is the smallest girl Of the three
she finds considerable difficulty in
changing mounts. Her horses, how
ever, are much faster than those OF
even Miss Mckee, and could she
mount and dismount with the same
rapidity as the latter, she would be
an easy winner.
Neither Miss Parker nor Miss Gets
has given up hope, however. They
both insist that in a ace of this kind
it is a comparatively easy matter to
lose or make UP a dozen or two OF
seconds, and each is confident of being
able to do this. The betting on this
event continues to be spirited, but
thus far the betting has been almost
wholly on the results Of each days
racing. When the three riders started
today the betting in the pools was
practically even, there being less than
half a dozen pools difference in the
mutuals, which contained upwards ot
500 deposits. At times hackers OF
each of the riders would for a briel
space make a favorite of their choice,
These spurts would be spasmodic
however, and when the betting closed
the difference between the backing
of the riders was very small.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY AND PER-
SEVERANCE WIN AGAIN.
TWO MORE PORTS OPENED
Imperial Edict Makes Convention Eff
fective on Other side-Many
Concessions Gained.

Washington, October S.-The state
department was informed Today that
the American-Chinese commercial
treaty had been signed at Shanghai
and that the Japanese-Chines treaty
will be signed this afternoon. The
cablegram announcing the signing OF
the treaty was sent from Shanghai
and was signed by Minister Conger,
Consu1-General Goodnow and Mr.. Sea-
man, the three commissioners who
negotiated the instrument. An i'm
perial decree by the Chinese govern
ment has made the treaty effective so
but it must be ratified by the United
States senate before notifications can
be exchanged and the treaty put in
operation.
Great satisfaction is expressed at
the state department at the outcome.
It makes certain that the two ports
in Manchuria will be opened t the
United States no matter what the out
come as to the negotiations for the
evacuation of that territory by Russia
may be. The assurance that Russia
had previously given and to which
this government would insist upon
adherence is that the treaty arrange
ments made with China covering
M~anchurian ports will be binding upon
the Russian government.
The principal points of the treaty
are, briefly, as follows:
First, the settlement of the long
vexed question of International taxa.
ton in China.
Second, recognition of Americans
right of residence throughout the en-
pire for missionary work.

Third, protection Of patents, trade

Fourth, mining rights.
Fifth, opening Of new localities to
international trade on the part of the
empire in which the United States
has vast commercial interests.
Sixth, right to carry on trade, in
dustries and manufactures in all
parts Of China.
The negotiations between China and
the United States, which eliminated
in the treaty signed today at Shang-
hal, were initiated under the provis-
ions of article two of the final protocol,
signed by the powers at Picking on
September S, 1901, terminating the
a%nti-foreign outbreak of the preceding
year. The present treaty has for
it's object to extend the commercial
relations between the contracting
powers by amending our existing
treaty of commerce and navigation
with China, and other subjects con-
corning commercial relations with the
other.
Levy of Likin.
Articles one, two and three refer
to the rights and privileges of diplo.
matte officers, consuls and citizens
of the United States in China, and
embody a number of changes which
have been sanctioned by -ustge in
China since the treaty of 1858. Article
four is the most important of the
treaty. By it the Chinese government,
recognizing that the present system
of levying duties upon goods in tran
sit, and especially the system OF tax
alton known as likin impedes the
free circulation of commodities to the
general trade, agrees, natter the rati-
fication of the treaty, and at a date
to be mutually agreed upon, to aban-
don the levy of likin and other tran
sit duties throughout the empire, and
to abolish all the barriers and tax
stations maintained for their collec-
ton. The United States, in consid-
Grafton of this change, agrees, if all
other powers having treaties with
China do likewise, to pay at the port
of entry on all it's imports into China
a sur. tax of one and one-half times
the tariff import duty. By This pay
ment they shall secure immunity
from all other taxation whatsoever
in the empire. Exports from China
shall pay ~ per cent ad valorem

enable the central government to de-
| rive much larger sums from the inter-
nal taxes than it does now, when the
cost of the collection is perhaps SO
per CEN of the whole. The remain
ing provisions of the article relate to
the method to be followed in abolish
ing the present internal tax levying
| system. 1t limits the places where
native custom houses can be main
tanned, provides for certificates OF
Identification for foreign imports, and
the treatment of Chinese machine
made goods, which are to enjoy a
rebate on the import tax. Finally,
it provides the method of investiga-
ton of complaints, and declares that
an imperial edict shall be issued at
a date to be hereafter fixed, setting
forth the abolition of likin taxation
and charging the various high Off
Gals of the empire with carrying it
out.
By another article the Chinese gov
| eminent agrees to the establishment
of bonded warehouses by citizens OF
the United States at the open ports
of China.
Mining Rights.
By article seven the Chinese gov
ernment, recognizing that it is ad-
vantageous for the country to develop
it's mineral resources and that it is
desirable to attract foreign as well
as Chinese capital to embark
in mining enterprises, agrees
within a year from the signing
of the treaty to conclude the revision
Of it's mining regulations SO that citi-
ems of the. United States may be
able to carry on in Chinese territory
mining operations and other neces-
sary business connected herewith.
Article 9 provides for the protection
of trade marks in China.
Article 10 provides for the protec-
ton Of patents, and article II for the
protection Of copyrights.
BY article l3 the Chinese govern
ment agrees to take the necessary
steps to provide for a uniform ma
tional coinage, which shall be a legal
tender throughout the empire.
Protection Of Missionaries.
Article IA relates tt Chinese Chris
tians and to missionaries. 1t insures
the former the free exercise Of their
religion and protects them against
the injustice of native officials, while
not, however, removing them from
their jurisdiction or claiming for
American missionaries the right to in
terfere with the exercise by the ma
tive authorities of their jurisdiction
owe their nationals. 10 the mission-
aries it cur what they have sought
for years, a recognition of their right
to rent and lease in perpetuity such
property as their societies may need
in all parts of the empire.

eminent an article has been incorpo-
rated in the treaty 10Y which the Unit
ed States consents to the prohibition
of the importation into China OF NOR

Another article Of the treaty pro-
vides for the opening to internal trade,
in the same conditions and manner as
other places are now opened to like
! trade in China, of the cities of Fend
Tien ru (Mukden) and Antung, the
first the capital of the Manchurian
province of Sheng Cheng, and the lat

SWEET PICKLES AND
RICH PRESERVES
FROM THE PLUM

No fruit makes a more enjoyable
sweet pickle or a richer preserve than
the plum. The sorts generally used
are the green cages and the large blue
plums, but for richness of flavor moth
ing excels the old-fashioned damsons.
Preserved Damsons-Select ripe fruit,
ptnE over and wash carefully, but
leave the stems on. Weigh, and to
each pound of the plums allow l pound
of sugar. Put the plums in pre-
serving kettle with just enough water
to prevent them from burning, and let
them simmer gently until the skins are
tender Add the sugar and boil gent
ly for ten minutes. Then remove any
scum that may rise to the top, fill glass
jars that have previously been heated,
and cover tightly while hot.

Branded Green Gages.-To each II
pounds of the fruit allow 8 pounds of
sugar, l pint of water and pints of
