1t Is interesting to find a familiar

that there is a new point of view from

faint OF CORRUPTION.
Montana Supreme Court Says 1t Was
Evident in Minnie Healy Case.

Ev1Oent IN Miuuic t1eaty Cdsc.
Butte. Mont, July 27.-The decision
OF Judge Harvey, of Butte, refusing a
new trial in the Minnie Healey case,
has been reversed by the Montana SUI
preme court and the case remanded.
The litigation involves mining proper
ty worth 100000 or more. The
reversal was based upon the charges
of misconduct made against Judge Har-
ney and upon the merits of the case
The supreme court also modifies the or
der of survey granted to Heinze in the
N'rper case and denies motion filed
by Heinze's attorneys to draw down the
certified check for 1925, 00Q, filed as a
bond in the Minnie Healey case, from
the Daily Bank q Trust Company.
Judge Harney's decision in favor of
Heinze in the Minnie Healey case was
reversed by the supreme court on the
ground that "no judgment OF court
of Justice 80 tainted with corruption as
the rercord leaves this, should stand,
and its cancellation in this insance will
be the evidence of the determination of
this court to pursue TO the utmost its
constitutional and lawful authority to
the end that public confidence in our
judicial system may not be lessened,
and that the fountain of justice may be
kept pure.'

Lands at Dublin and Is Given a
Royal Welcome-Sces
Bright Future.

Dublin, July 22-King Edward,
Queen Alexandra and other members
of the royal party arrived here during
the morning The day was dark and
forbidding and the heavy rain that fell
during the early morning dampened
the ardor of the waiting thousands.
AS the royal barge touched shore
the sun broke through the clouds, a
fact that was taken to be a happy au-
curry of the royal visit.
The distinguished guests we've met by
the lord mayor and council in their
scarlet robes, the mace bearers in blue
and silver and several hundreds of rep
resentative citizens OF Dublin, who were
provided with seats on stands.
Several crack regiments lined the
road as guard of honor, while behind
them vera cordons of police and militia.
The king, replying to an address of
welcome, paid high tribute to the late
Pope Leo and referred to the great
kindness shown the English people by
the pontiff. He concluded by alluding
to TIE tact that his visit occurred at a
time when the hopes for better era
for Ireland were bright. He said it
was Leo's earnest prayer that these
hopes should be fulfilled.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
vice regal lodge was reached. Their
maiesties iunched with the lord lieu
tenant and the days program was con-
cluded with a formal visit by their
majesties to the Duke of Connaught.

marred by any unpleasant incident be-
yond the ceremony of handing the keys
of the CITY to the king. The city hall
alone of all the public buildings was
not decorated

ments were being made for the Irish

sanction Che proposal OF Scotland Yard
to send a number of detectives.

the king. "All the protection l want
I shall receive from the Irish people.

STEAMER WALSH BURNED
F're Broke Out While Lying at the
Dock at Sidney.

wa'er's edge while lying at the dock at
sidney yesterday afternoon, as a result
OIL hre which broke out near her boil
ers in come mysterious wav. she was
under charter of the Montana Club at
the time OF her burning. 1t was prov
identlal that the fire broke out when it
did, for had it happened little earli.
er, SO rapidly did she burn, the 2ss
people on board could not possibly
have escaped. The wood in the steam
or was so dry that, according to those
VINO saw her burn, not more than two
minutes elapsed from the time smoke
was discovered until the vessel was
completely enveloped inf ames.
The vessel, which was one of the
largest excursion steamers on the sound
and is claimed to have been worth
$40, 700, was chartered for the after
noon by the Montana Cleb to make
the trip to Bremerton. The members
OF the CLUB and their friends to the
number of 23S left Seattle for Bremen
ton at 80 o'clock in the afternoon,
arriving at the latter port about
O'Clock. The excursionists left the ves-
sci at Bremerton. Owing to the fact
that there was no room for her to lie at
the dock the steamer was taken across
the bay by her crew to Sidney to take
water. While there the crew went to
nearby restaurant for lunch, leaving
two watchmen aboard the ship. Soon
afterward some people ON the dock saw
smoke issuing from the boiler rooms
and yelled "fire." Before anything
could be done to save her the steamer
was sheet of fame and had to be cut
loose from the dock.
AS the Walsh drifted toward the
beach one of her cylinders blew up.
She was held by some piles short dis
lance from shore and her charred hull
now lies In fifteen feet of water, about
500 yards from the Sidney dock.

Circuit tour tickets covering the railroad
trip to the Pacific Coast and via the various
trans-Pacitic steamship lines to the far East,
are each day becoming a feature of greater
popularity to the travelling public. The Chi
cago d Northwestern Ry. have recently
announced the sale of tickets of this charac-
ter to Sidney, Australia, and return, in con-
nection with their Overland Service to the
Coast, tickets being good returning via the
Royal Mail Line to Vancouver or via the
Oceanic S. S. Co.'S Line, the direct route to
San Francisco.
These circuit tour tickets are sold at very
low rates. The trans-Pacific service has
grown and improved very rapidly in recent
years and tourists find the trip filled with
scenes Of picturesque interest not equaled
in the old journeys made by tourists through
England and on the continent.
The transcontinental train service and
the trans-Pacific, steamship service are of
the highest possible character and the time
required for making these journeys is much
less than ever before.

NEAR TO SOUTH POLE
Borchgrevink's Record Broken by
"Discovery" Expedition.
Commander Scott Succeeded an Get
ting Three and One-Hnlf De-
Erees Further south Than
Norwegian Explorer.

The Morning, the relief vessel to the
British antarctic ship Discovery, has
returned to Lyttelton, New Zealand,
and reports that she found the Dis
covery on January 23 in McMurdo bay,
Victoria Land. From the record of the
expedition brought back it appears
that the Discovery, which left Lyttel-
town about Christmas, 1901, made Cape
Adare on January 0, and coasted along
the great ice barrier which runs east
ward from Cape Crozier as far as longi-
tude 1920, where an extensive gla-
cial land with lofty peaks was discov-
cred. Returning westward, good win
ter quarters were found near Mounts
Erebus and Terror, and the ship was
frozen in on March "a. When winter
had passed sleighing began on Sep
tember 2, 1902, and number of sledge
journeys were undertaken in various
directions, the most important being
made by Commander Scott, DR.. Will
son and Lieut.. Shackleton, who trav-
eled south until they reached latitude
s2.17 and longitude 163 west, and es
tablished a worlds record for the fur
tHSsG punt sOulH. LIE "Trip was lnduc
under very trying conditions, and the
party had to drag the sledges back to
the ship, the dogs having died on the
the outward journey. Lieut. Shackle-
ton burst blood vessel in one of his
| lungs, and almost died from exposure.
| He returned on board the Morning. An
other party, which included Lieut..
Royds and Mr.. SHELTON, visited Mount
Terror, and travelled along the ice bar
rier, which is believed to be afloat,
though fed from the land ice. Lieut..
Armitage made a sledge journey to
the westward, and attained an altitude
of 5000 feet. On the return journey
he fell into a crevasse, and if he had not
been roped to the others would have
