SOLoNS AFTER GRAFTERS
COMMITTEE AUTHORIZED TO
SUMMONS WITNESSES.
Attorney General Demands That Leg
isIature Place the Blame for Non
Enforcement of the Law.
Especial to The Gazette.]

Helena, Feb. 1.-THE resolution in
troduced in the house by Dwight OF
Missoula, relating to the no%n-enforce-
ment of the gambling law and the re-
port of grating" by the officers in
many towns in the state, has created
a sensation among the sporting fra
ternity.
1t is apparent that the legislature is
in earnest to go into the subject in
detail and has authorized the commit
tee, to which was referred the resolu-
ton, to summon witnesses from any
part of the state to give testimony
against officers countenancing gam
bling and against the people in the
habit of frequenting the gaming ia
bles.
The stand taken by Attorney Gen
| eral Donovan is in the nature of a de-
mand upon the legislature to either
prove the allegations made against
his office or place the responsibility
for the non-enforcement of the statute
relative to gambling where it proper
ly belongs. 1t is apparent that there
will be something doing with the
gambling question before the legisla
ture adjourns.

Havre, Feb. 5.-County Attorney
Pray. is here today investigating the
shooting scrape in which a Jap was
killed recently. The Japs were evil
IDENTIFY afraid to testify before the
coroner's jury but the county attor-
ney is picking up evidence that may
lead to the conviction of the guilty
parties. There are men here who, II

Doctors Almas and Irwin today per-
formed an operation upon Thomas

recently during the street melee IN
which the Jap was killed. The bullet
which caused the wound severed an
artery that supplied the arm with
blood. After the shooting it was hop

for the recovery of the patient un

ASENSATI0N
.ddiCks WithdraWs from Senatorial
Contest in Delaware.

Dover, Del, Feb. 5.-This afternoon (
the union republican members of the
lie legislature held a caucus at which j.
Edward Addicks was present. At the
conclusion of the meeting Representa-
tive Jones said that Mr.. Addicks had
made a statement to those present at
the caucus in which he had formally
withdrawn from the senatorial con-
test. Mr.. Jones added that the union
republicans had decided to hold a
caucus tonight for the nomination of
two candidates for senator, and that
notice would be sent to- the regular
republican members inviting them to
attend. In the nomination Of candi-
dates at the caucus he said the major
ity rule would prevail.
The sudden announcement that j.
Edward Addicks had withdrawn from
the candidacy for United States SEN
ator, which he has urged SO persist
emily since 1895, created an immense
sensation. The belief is general that
the refusal of the United States SEN
ate to confirm United States District
Attorney William NJ. Byrne had the
effect of bringing about Mr.. Addicks'
withdrawal. The union republicans
choice for senator in place of Addicks
will probably be Governor HUM or
| Secretary of State Stanley, State Sen,
ator Allen, the Addicks leader, having
repeatedly declared that he would not
accept the United States s%enatorship.
Mr.. Addicks arrived here from Viii.
mington about / o'clock, going to the
capitol. He was ushered into the par
Tor of the statehouse, where all of the
Fl republican members of the legisla'
ture we're assembled to meet him, to

vantage was held in those long years
was due alone to some outbreak of
fa~ctionalism in the ranks of our OPP
ponents and not by any inherent
strength or confidence on the part OF
republicans themselves. Since 1892
this state has been uniformly repub-
lican. Owing to the bisternres and
strife which have ar.sll MisAin our
own ranks we have failed in securing
all of those advantages which justly
have belonged to a party with such
a continuous and brilliant record of
overwhelming success.
'The cause assigned for this con-
dition of affairs has been universally
proclaimed to be my candidacy to the
senate of the United States. 1t has
been stated continuously everywhere

strong, having abandoned its unlawful
and insurrectionary methods, would
thus be reunited, enter upon a course

those weighty responsibilities which
the government of this state imposes
upon it. Influenced by this considera-
ton and the obligations which the re-
publicans of this state W to the ma.

plea for myself, recalling no claim
for any part | myself may have borne
for years in bringing victory out OF a

SENATE TURNS DOWN THE
LADIES BY is TO 10.
YECEN FOR The MEASURE
Dwiqht Resolution for Investigation
of Graft in Connection With
Gambling Passed.

Helena, Feb. 5.--Woman suffrage
received it's death blow in the senate
today as far as the Eighth legislative
assembly is concerned. By a vote Of
16 to 10 the committee of the whole
decided to report the bill back for in
definite postponement.
When the bill came UP for final ac-
ton by the senate it met it's final de-
feat, 16 senators voting for indefinite
postponement while 10 voted against
this. In the matter of politics there
were six democrats who voted for
the ladies and only four republicans.
In voting to kill the bill there was an
equal division politically-eight re-
publicans and eight democrats voted
the same way.
So, as a matter of fact, the ladies
had a shade the best of it with the
democrats.
The vote that killed the bill was as
follows:
For indefinite postponement-Al'
bright, Anderson, Bourne, Bremen.
Conrow, Cullen, Kohrs, Donlan, Dur
ham, Hoffman, Maddox, Mahon, Muir
ray, Mclean Ralston, Tewey-16.
Against-Biggs, Hopkins, Johnson
Kelly, Kennedy, Meyer, Sherlock
Whipple, Yegen, Waite-1o.
Although Senator Kennedy voted
for the ladies, it is generally under
stood that he was only playing to the
galleries, and had it came to a case
where his vote was needed to defea
the measure he would have voted tina
way.
Helena. Feb. 5.-Aside from the de
bate on the woman suffrage bill, AM
it's final defeat, the senate proceed
ings furnished nothing of more thai
ordinary interest. just before &C
iournment Senator Hoffman gave nc
tice that he would introduce a fesoll
ton to change the membership OF tn
committee on apportionment and rel
resentation. Senator Bremen, a re
publican, is chairman of that commi
tee. and it is limited that Senator Mu1
raw, democrat, will be named in hi
place.
A large amount of business wa
mapped out in the senate which wi
occupy attention for the remainder {
the week. Many house bills reache
the senate and several bills Whic
have been in the hands of committee
were reported back and will come u
for consideration. In addition to tn
several new bills were introduced.

Only ONE MORE DAY or DIS
TRicT COURT.
Tying FOR SECOND TIME
Old Case Of Ettien VS.. Drum lnvolv.
ing Ownership Of Cattle
Again Hearing.
Fridays Daily Gazette.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
AS tomorrow will be the last day
on which Judge Loud can possibly
hold court here during the present
term he decided to hold a late session
yesterday in order to end the case of
Yates VS.. Mills, which had occupied
his attention during the preceding
two days. The last of the testimony
and arguments were heard last night
and at the conclusion the court an
nounced that the matter would be TAX
en- under advisement.
For a Second Time.
When court convened this morning
it was to take up the cas- OF William
Ettien VS.. H. b. Drum, tried at the
May term and coming up a second
time on plaintiffs motion for a re-
hearing, the first decision having been
in favor of the defendant.
The action involves ownership Of AZ
stock cattle, and their increase, OF
which plaintiff claims he is wrong
fully deprived by the defendant. It
| had it's origin in a sale OF range stock
made by Deaton & War to the plain
tiff and in which he claims all the cat
tie he bought from those parties were
not delivered to him, his contention
being that he bought the brand and
not, as claimed by the defendant, 4
specified number of cattle. Subse-
%quently, it appears, the two men sold
the contested stock to Drum, who
now says he is the rightful owner.
The jury empanelled to try the
matter is composed of D. A. Benedict,
J.. C. McKune, j. J. Dunlavey, John
Kimmerle, A. ] Hart, William Walk

PIG IRON TONNAGE
 UP TO LAST YEAR
WHILE RATE OF BUYING IS BE- LOW NORMAL TT IS DOUBLE WHAT IT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO.

Extracts from Rogers, Brown & Cos pig iron review circular of yesterdays date follow
 Cincinnati-A careful investigation has been made in relation to the consumption , of pig iron in the various sections of the United States, and the general report is that the tonnage is fully up to last year and in some instances greater For a time the foundries whose contracts were principally with the machine, tool works stated that demand had fallen off, but recently greater activity is reported and prospects are encouraging. As long as pig iron Is being used at the present rate no apprehensions need be felt regarding the business of the year. for it is only question of time until further pur- chases must be made.
 It would probably be a good thing for the market if salesmen were withdrawn and the practice of quoting by circular letter various lots of spot iron were dis continued. During a period of hesitancy such as now exists, the limited amount of iron offered is unduly magnifed.
 The recent heavy transactions in Basic iron seem to have cleared from the mar ket nearly everything that can be pro- duced previous to July l and if the nego- tiatons for Bessemer iron are closed the surplus of that grade for the last half of the year will have been disposed of.
 New York.-The fixing of lake ore prices establishes approximately the cost of pig iron at northern centers for the coming year. Assuming that coke will rule about the average of the past year, or somewhat below the present level, 1t Is plain that the cost of pig iron will be higher than for many years past Labor, which in one way or another is a very important factor, has received substa n tial advances; the railroads have claimed their share in advanced rates on raw ma terials and on pig iron products All these advances have come to stay so far as can be judged from present conditions
 Those who contemplate enterprises call ing for the use of iron and steel may therefore, count on materially higher manufacturing cost throughout the pres ent year and until such time as the struc- ture of wages, transportation and raw materials is broken down by some great financial other disturbance.
 more general recognition of these facts has led to a noticeable change in the temper of buyers Of pig iron While the rate of buying Is even now far below the normal. 1t has. nevertheless doubled as compared with the average of the past three months. Contracts are now being freely placed for delivery the last half of the year, and prices for such deliveries are coming up very close to those for de- livery for lie first half

NO MORE eREArPREAcHERsq ,
Pessimlstic View of London Christian Commonwealth on Pulpit Orators.

In an editorial lamenting the passing or Joseph Parker and Hugh Price Hughes, the Christian Commonwealth London) takes occasion to note ''the extraordinary dearth of really. able and qualified men from whom successors may be found when famous pulplts lose their occu- pants" The same paper goes on to say:
 There never was a time since before the Reformation when pulpit eminence was rare; when orthodox Christianity could produce so small a battalion of magnetic exhorters; when the church could be counted so few stars of the first magnitude in the theological Armament. The really great preachers amongst the 25.000 clergy could be counted on one hand. There are about as many nonconformist preachers of all denominations in this kingdom. The list of men of great pulpit power In each would be very small in- deed-more meager by far than in the time of our fathers, and yet every great denomination is greater today than yester- day. In the days of Sturgeon there were a Punshon, a Vince, a Dale, an Aldis. a Wells, a Samuel Wilberforce, a Brrel
 a Mcleod, a Tulloch, Haycraft, a Guth- rie, a Gilfllan, Brock, a George Daw- son-only to specify few out of host o1 men whom people everywhere and any, where thronged to hear And in the gen eration preceding, when the common peo- pie knew so little, yet they had a host of grand preachers to whom to listen-Mel- will, Robertson, Parsons, Robert Hall. Sortaine, Chalmers, Dillon, Bishop Hors- ley, Christmas Evans, Williams of Wern, Charles Stovel, Howard Hinton, James Spence, Rowland Hill, Toplady, Daniel Wilson, James Sherman, Hawker, Charles Simeon, Newman and Manning before their papal perversion, and the potent itinerating leaders who thundered out loud echoes of the message left by John Wesley. Where shall we now look for anything like the number of pre-eminent preachers who in those days made Eng land great, changed 1t from a colossal sink of corruption, such as Wesley found 1t, to the worlds head center of right eousness and founded the Christian civil- ization on. which we now have to build?"
