AM ERICA s CLAIMS
Dickinson Says They Were
Never Disputed By
the British.
nY AssociArrn rnrss

London, Oct. s.--When the last day of
me public hearing of arguments befpc
the Alaskan commission opened, Jacob VI.
dickinson of American counsel continued
his speech for Americas unbrokcn claim
or title TO the disputed coast.
Mr.. Dickinson made forcible plea that
all that established the fact that the
boundary should be drawn around the
heads OF the bays and inlcts.
When Mr.. Dickinson has concluded
this afternoon the commission will ad
Journ until Monday when il will hold lis
first private session to consider It's yer
dict.
Mr. Dickinson contendcd that the cor
respondcncc between the governments,
which the British counsel rely upon to
establish their position, showed that Can
ada and Great Britain never formally or
otherwise protested against the occupation
% incts by the United States.
To the contrary, although all the quc.-
lions now at issue had been discussed by
Canadian officials in their report, they
were not adopted by either the govern
ment OF Canada or the government Of
Great Britain, and these questions, though
raised in 1885, were not advanced by
Great Britain until 1903.
After luncheon Mr.. Dickinson took mp
the question Of American military and
iscal occupation Of the disputed territory,
and quoted many reports OF American
naval and military officials anent the
formal taking over OF the territory
There is no concealmcnt," counsel con-
,inued everything is above board but
Great Britain never protested against or
questioned these actions
Dealing with the dispatch Of Ambassa-
dor Choate to Lord Lansdownc, which
Attorney General l'inlay quoted as cvi-
dence against the American claim, Mr..
Dickinson said he only wished he had
Mr. Choate before the tribunal, so thar
he could explain half the attorney general
has misinterpretcd the meaning OF.
Il submit" declared Mr.. Dickinson,
that all these acts Of the unqucstioned
occupation in 1867 cannot and must not
be dismissed as worthless, as British
counsel contend. submit that mere ac-
quescencc in these acts can be taken as
iavoring our Interpretation of the treaty"

Helena. Mont, Oct 8.-Detectives who
are working OH the railroad dynamite cases
now have an important clew which they
are following with some hope of capturing
at least one Of the blackmailers.
Nick Rovig, ranchman, living six miles
west Of Townsend, four days ago ran
across 4 man asleep at one OF his hay
stacks near the Northern Pacific track
Nearby was a jaded horse that appeared
TO have been ridden all night. Yesterday,
on going after load of hay, Rovig dis
covered sugar sack OF giant powder hid
den away in the stack.
Officers were at once notified. 1t is
supposed the man seen there four days ago
had hidden it there. Rovig has given a
description Of the man. The powder is
believed to be part of s4o pounds stolen
from the powder house OF the A. NJ. Hotter
company near Helena three weeks ago. De
tectives believe that the mscreants are now
about out of explosives and extraordinary
precautions have been taken to prevent
them from renewing supplies. Some OF the
powder sticks were broken.

hearing Of VIII Conway and Frank Nc

trict court in bonds OF 5000.
The city council last night passed an Or
dinancc providing for fines in cases of
gambling The maximum fine is So, and

his action yesterday afternoon in Tagging
two trains that were approaching burned
bridge. His name is not known here. but
II is quite likely that il will become very
well known and that he will lie suitably
rewarded by the company in avertng what
might have been serious wrecks.
lie discovered the wooden bridge over
Deer creek, about eigh, miles east of Big
Timber, on fire. 1t had evidently caught
from sparks from locomotive. Approach
ing from the west he saw stock train
coming at a rapid rate OF speed.
lie hurried toward the train and waving
his hands signaled the engineer. who
brought the train TO a stop. Then he
tagged a passenger train coming from an
other direction. The bridge is less than
100 feet long and was what is called a
pile bridge. 1t was nearly destroyed.
Superintendent Boyle at once had crew
OF men at work and they repaired the
bridge by working hard all night so that,
traffic was resumed today after a delay Of
a few hours.
The report OF the destruction OF the
bridge and the delay in traffic gave rise to
rumor that the bridge had been dyna-
mitcd and the Associated Press sent out
a report based upon Helena dispatch to
st. Paul paper that the destruction of
the bridge was the work of dynamitcrs.
prompt denial was sent out as soon
as the truth was known.

Dan Gilmore all inmate of the county

on the Northern Pacific by the discovery
OF stick OF dynamite on the tracks back
OF the county hospital. A Illuminating cap
was attached to the dynamite, which was
fully foot in length. One end Of the
stick appeared to have been burned
Gilmore is an old man who has been liv-
ing at the poor farm for the past three
months. II has been his custom to take
long walk in the morning. Today his
rambes took him up the hill to the North
ern Pacific track. At point just back of
the county hospital Gilmore found the
dynamite.
He Handled II With Care.
At first he did not realize what il was,
but the cap on the rail and the evident care
with which the explosive had been placed
aroused his suspicious. He very gngery
detached it from the rail and took il back
with him.
DR.. Donnelly in making his daily call at
the county hospital was shown the dyna-
mite this morning. He at once notified the
Northern Pacific officials and preparations
were made to run the dynamiters to earth.
The local officers and the company de-
tectives have been on the lookout for the
perpetrators Of the dynamite outrages for
some time. 1t was expected that, sooner
or later they would make their appearance
here.
To Take Extra Precautions.
So far Butte and vicinity has been free
from the depredations of the outlaws, un-
less the dynamiing Of the street car on the
Columbia Gardens line a short time ago,
was intended for the Northern Pacific
train. 1t is thought that the person who
placed the dynamite got mixed in his bear
ings and misiook the street railway for the
steam railroad.
The outrage attempted this morning will
be followed by extra precautions by the
eompanys operating department. The
track walkers will be doubled il necessary.
