Some attention 10 being given at

Cling with the Dingley tariff law, in
order to favor the products of Porto
Rico ana the Philippines. Among
things proposed is q duty on coffee
that will shut out the products of
Brazil and stimulate the importation
of coffee from Porto Rico and other
possessions in the far Pacifio. The
principal Brazilian products which
come to the United States at the pres
ent time are coffee, India rubber,
gutta reicha, cocoa, etc., all OF which
are entered free of duty. In 1900 we
imported 500, 600, 600 CT duty FREQ Bra
lillian products, and of this amount
s33, 600. COO was coffee and Sl8, 600, 600
was rubber, these two articles consti-
tuting $50, 600, 600 of $55, coo, 600 worth
of impaired non-dntiable Brazilian
products The duty on the rubber,
which was 30 per cent I'd valorem.
was taken off in December, 1897; the
duty on coffee, which was FIVE cents
per pound prior to 1870 was then re-
duced to three cents and was finally
abolished in 1879. Immediately after
We took the duty oft coffee Brazil put
on an export and other taxes, aproxi-
mating the duties we had been COL
lecting consequently our revenue on
coffee was transformed from our treas
ury to The Brazilian treasury, and
our pee e were not helped an iota by
the aboi shment of the duty.

Mr.. Morgan is telling rybody
that he means to fight the Panama ca
nal treaty to the bitter end; he will
exhaust all his resources OF obstruo-
ton, and after this he hints he is not
without hope of securing enough sup
port to kill the treaty outright. When
the supposed interests OF the trans
continental railroads are taken into
account, coupled with the strong
+" American sentiment for the Mica
ragua route, it becomes obvious that
the material for some resistance to
the Panama is at hand. How we'll it
will be directed remains to be seen.
The Republican leaders think it will
be wise to take up the Panama treaty
first, for Mr.. Morgan would undoubt-
edly filibuster against any that might
precede it, in the interest OF his own
great ambition.

The small amount of business per-
tanning TO foreign relations now
awaiting action suggests that special
session OF the senate for its consid-
Grafton might be a good thing every
year. Strictly speaking. the senate
ought I'd bave more time than the
house; it has to do a great many
things, such as acting on nominations
and on t,eaties, with which the house
has no concern. But what is more i'm
portant the senate talks while the
house proceeds under castiron limita-
lions. Accordingly, the house has
plenty ot time on its hands. Eand
often, Just for the sake of occupying
some OF 1t, allows measure to come
up for hearing; in the senate on the
other hand, there is constant pressure
for time, in spite of the apparently
easy ways in which time is there con-
sumed.

Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood some
one has died from an attack OF collie
or cholera morbus, often before med
icine could be procured or a physician
summoned. A reliable remedy for
these diseases should be kept at hand.
The risk is, too great for anyone to
take. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy has undoubt-
eddy saved the lives of more people
and relieved more pain and suffer-
inx than-apY other medicine in use.

A SERIOUS oFFENsE.
Letter Box on South Side Deliberately
DESTROYED.

Saturday morning between $40 and
$3.50 o'clock some one destroyed the
letter box that has been doing service
at the Z corner of Minnesota avenue
and. Twenty-sixth street since free de-
livery became one of the institutions
of Billings. Whether robbery or ma
liciousness a the motive that
prompted the destruction of the box
is not known.
Carrier Lane discovered the act OF
vandalism when he made his second
collection trip Saturday morning. At
the earlier hour mentioned he emptied
the box OF the nights accumulation OF
mail and found 1t intact. When he
visited it at the later hour he found
one side broken in and the fragments
Of the iron lying in the box, while
a large stone at the foot of the post
to which the receptacle was fastened
told the manner in which it had been
demolished.
The box was removed to the postof-
flee and a report of the case made
to the proper authorities.

Montana Company Organized for Pur.
pose Of Establishing Home
Market on Large Scale.

w new bidder for popular favor in
the horse selling world has appeared
and unless all Indications fail next
month will witness the largest sale
at Billings that has ever been held
in the state, it not in the west.
Beginning Monday, June %, and
continuing until Saturday, June q,
the Montana Horse Sales company
will hold the first of it's regular sales
in this city and already through cor
respondence had with buyers and
sellers a large attendance of both is
assured. The presence of buyers from
almost every one of the eastern states
is expected, as the demand for western
horses in the east has become so great
that it cannot be supplied through
the ordinary channels and traders
have concluded that it is necessary
for them to come themselves and buy
first hand from the growers.
No fewer than $500 head OF horses
of all sizes and conditions have been
listed so far and by the time the open
ing day of the sale arrives it is esti-
mated that the number will be fully
1000, and possibly even more. The
large listing is accounted for from
the fact that by experience the grow
ers have learned that the competition
always present at a large sale insures
better prices for such stock Is they
may have to sell, while there are al
ways buyers present for about every
thing in the shape of a horse.
F. D. Jennings is the general man
ager of the company and he has Sc
cured the services of one of the best
auctioneers in the country to conduct
the sale, thereby assuring to sellers
that they will receive the highest pos
sible prices for their animals. Horses
will be offered in lots to suit, single
animals or by the carload. The COM
pany will make no charge for animals
not sold and none will be sold without
the consent of the owner, the right
being reserved for him to reject all
bids and retain possession Of his ami
mails in case the prices bid are not
satisfactory.

Rushing Cinnamon Across Canadian
Border Their Speciality.

Border Their Speciality.
Evidence in the possession of the
officers of the immigration bureau of
the federal government warrants the
belief in the existence of a large and
we'll organized gang of smugglers,
ramiications of which extend e a
great section of the northwest. The
smuggling of opium and contraband
Cinnamon across the international
boundary line into Montana is the OBJ
ject of the conspiracy against Uncle
Sam.
For some time a quiet investigation
has been making by the officers, work
ing under the direction of Captain
Hampton of Great Falls, and it is
claimed that much testimony has been
secured. All of the suspects are white
men and it is said they are growing
rich fast in their illegal business"
The cities of Billings, Helena, Mis-
soula and Kalispell are said to be the
SA4O4 O0oOo vi OPOA oJAOA0 Va ~ 6oA6
and the arrests of several men in all
of them is expected soon. The dis
covery was made last week that no
fewer than seven Chinese had been
struggled across the border and or
ders were issued for the examination
of the certificates of all Cinnamon in
Butte, Helena and Billings, as it was
believed the entries were made by
means of forged certificates and that
the parties holding them we're dis
tributed between these places.
Some Are Found.
Not a few forged certificates have
been found Dy the inspectors and all
indicate that they we're executed by
one man. Already enough evidence
is said to be in the hands of the au-
thorities to insure the forger's con
vistion and to make his identity rea-
sonably certain. White men attend
to the matter of getting the Cinnamon
across the line and after that Chinese
residents in the cities named attend
to their secretion, while also giving
their aid to the concealment of the
opium that it is claimed is Struggled
into the country as a "side line"
Whether true or not, the officers al
lege that druggists in some of the
towns have commercial relations with
the smugglers and the intimation is
given out that some of them will be
arrested shortly.
Mounted Patrol Wanted.
Because of the extensive operations
of the smugglers the official in charge
of the Investigations has recommend
ed to the secretary of the department
OF labor and commerce that a mounted
patrol be established and placed on
duty along the Canadian border, es-
pecially on the line that divides Flat
head county from the Dominion. In
that region there is a constant move
ment of thousands of strangers, max
ing it almost impossible to follow any
of the smugglers, once they get across
into American territory.
