no special train to be decorated for
Cleveland, even in the event the
House should declare for such decora-
ton, it seems more than likely that
the latter course will be followed to-
morrow.
Chatham Members for 1t.
All of the members of the Chatham
delegation were for the Cleveland reso-
luton from the start and voted for all
motions that were favorable to it.
The House passed on viva voce vote
early in the session a resolution by Mr..
Cam of Chatham, providing that the
Legislature should adjourn from Sat
urday, July 2. to Saturday, July II,
declaring the intervening days dies
non for the purpose of giving the Cen
eral Assembly an opportunity to at
tend the National Democratic Conven-
ton. There was practically no OPP
position to this resolution in the House,
and it appeared that one of the great
est junketing trips for several years
was about to be arranged. Shortly
after the Senate met this resolution
was taken IN. Senator Davis prompt
ly moved that the Senate should not
concur in the resolution. There were
half a dozen speeches made in OPP
position to it, all to the effect that
the General Assembly had much i'm
portant business before it and could
not afford to lose any time The Sen
ate then defeated the resolution by a
vote of Is to 4.
AS neither House can adjourn for
more than three days without the con-
sent Of the other, this kills the ST.
Louis convention trip.

VERDICT FOR s12.5OO.

Twelve thousand five hundred
dollars damages was the verdict rem
dered by the jury in the case of Mrs.
Lila H. Hunniruit VS.. the Tampa
Electric Company Saturday The jury
had been out two and a half hours.
The case has been on trial since Mon
day, and was probably the most nota-
BILE and bitterly-fought damage suit
ever tried in that county, the two sides
fighting their case with all the vigor
that usually characterizes a murder
trial. Mrs. Hunnicutt is the widow of
T. Y. Hunnicutt. a motorman for the
company, who was killed by a live wire

GOVERNOR ASKS A
LARGER ALLOTMENT.
wants Georgia's Quota of Men to
he Increased.

Atlanta, June 27.-Gov. Terrell
wrote a letter to-day to the War De-
partment at Washington. requesting
that the number of men to be allowed
Georgia at the Virginia encampment
be increased from 1900 to 1900
The Governor pointed out that these
camps had been held for a number of
years and that Georgia had never been
allowed to participate in them; that
when the notice of the camp was first
received this year the state was al
lowed 1900 men, but with the privilege
of sending two regiments for one week
each and two additional regiments for
another week.
Now that the time has been cut down
to six days altogether from fifteen,
which was the original intention, Gov.
Terrell requests that the state be al
lowed to send 1900 men, stating that it
viii be just as cheap for the govern
ment TO handle 1900 men as it would
have been TO pay double Transports
ton for two regiments.

"A japanese barber was shaving a
customer who expressed belief in
possibility of japanese defeat by the
Russians. The barber was so startled
and shocked that he inflicted a severe
cash on the face of his customer, who
had him arrested. But the barber
was honorably acquitted, not without
n hint from the court that, even had
the cash been intentional, it was not
more than the circumstances required.
and was possibly meritorious action.

Defining Eternity.
From Puck.

Eternity"
The voice of the preacher sank to a
Mortified whisper.
'An eternity of torment" he re-
peated. do you bethink you what
eternity is? l tell you it is as long as
it would seem to you if you were going
to the theater and were waiting for
your wife to get ready and she had
eight or nine heads instead of one!'
Here several men rose, haggard. and
tottered forward to the anxious seat.

COMPLEXION OF LEGISLATURE.

Jacksonville Metropolis: While the
so-called "Straightout" faction has
made a majority, the names of most
of the members bring out the fact that
the Legislature of 1905 will prove
conservative one. The majority of the
members belong to the same political
factor as Broward does. and as Gov
ernor. Mr.. Broward will WELD a strong
influence over them. From a study of
the Legislature. il seems that the
members are divided as follows:
House of MISUNDERSTANDING

Committee has been captured by the

resist any attempt on the part OF any
corporation whatever to dominate the
party's conventions, control the party's
nominations or direct it's policies. Ref
erence is made to the forest reserve
law and to some of the disadvantages
resulting from its administration
which, in some instances, has operat-
ed to seriously retard settlement and
deprived homeseekers of valuable
lands. The states delegation in con-
gress is requested to protect the
states interests against the abuses or
the law.
In conclusion the following declara-
tion is made:
"The action of public servants and
the policies of political parties should
be frequently presented to the people
in their primary capacity for appro.
val, correction or condemnation, as
their views dictate; and we look with
disapproval upon the appointment
| of delegates to conventions by com
mittees without giving the people an
opportunity to be heard thereon. Such
action begets suspicion and dissatis
faction and tends to diminish the in
terest of the people in affairs OF gov
ernment and breeds discomfort; and
this convention directs that in the
future in the various counties where
delegates are to be elected to a state
convention, primary meetings shall be
held in places reasonably convenient
to the electors, to the end that they
may determine the men and measures
which their party should approve"

tana Held at Helena.
Examination of those desirous of en-
tering for the Rhodes scholarship at
Oxford was held at Helena Wednesday

'sUnder the terms of Rhodes will
Montana has two scholarships, but at
this time only one will be contested
for" said Chairman Craig. The doc
tor did not know at the beginning OF
the examination how many contestants
there would be. The papers were not
examined by the committee, but seal
ed and sent direct to the trustees of
Oxford university. They mark them
and notify the Montana committee,
giving the names of the candidates

eligible list. From this the committee
will make selection for the scholar
ship.

structions from the Oxford trustees

the progress of the examination, ex'
cept the members of the committee

AN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
Russian Admiral Wires News Of Fur
ther Disaster.

st. Petersburg, April 14.-Rear Adj
miral Oukomtsky wires from Port
Arthur today that the Bezstrachni, one
of the Russian torpedo boat Destroy
ers sent out during the night to recon-
hotter, became separated from the rest
of the fleet, owing to bad weather
prevailing, was surrounded by Japa-
nese torpedo boat destroyers and sunk
in the fight. Five men were saved.
Admiral Oukomtsky adds:
II have taken command provision
ally of the fleet since the disaster to
the Petropavlovsk. During some
maneuvering of the battleship squad
ron the Pobieda struck against mine
amidships on the starboard side. She
was able to regain port by herself.
No one on board her was killed or
wounded"
The Pobeida is battleship of 1864
tons displacement and of 14,5O0 horse
power She is 401A feet long, has
71A beam and draws 26 feet of water
and is heavily armored with steel.
She was completed in 1901, has a,
complement of 1872 men and her esti-
mated speed is 18 knots. The steel
armor of the battleship varies in
thickness from four to nine and one
! half inches along her belt.
Of +ho
sists of four 10-inch guns, II six-inch
guns, 18 three-inch guns, 10 one and
one-eighth-inch guns and 13 one and
one-fourth-inch guns. She has six
torpedo tubes.
The official bulletin conveying the
Intelligence of the loss of another
torpedo boat destroyer and the acci-
dental crippling of another battleship
was almost as severe blow as the
loss of the Petropavlovsk yesterday
and plunged the whole town anew
with grief.
! The Russian word in the text of the
dispatch describing the accident to the
Pobieda means either mine" or 'tor-
fpedo," but the qualifying adjective in
dicates something moving towards the
ship This dispatch puts an end to
the idea prevailing here that there
had been an engagement following the
disaster to the Petropavlovsk.
It is considered remarkable here
that the Japanese did not take advan-
tage of this terrible accident to attack
the port.

| RUSSIANS LOSE STILL MORE OF
THEIR SHIPS.
TORPEDO and NINE ACTIVE
Both Destroyers DO Effective Work
for Japanese at Port
Arthur.

London, April 14.-Oficial reports
from st. Petersburg say the battles
ship Pobeida, sister ship OF the Peres-
Wet, was torpedoed and badly dam
aged in the battle at Port Arthur yes
terday. The torpedo boat destroyer
Bezstrachni was sunk, as well as the
Petropavlovsk. The disabling Of the
Pobeida leaves the Russian fleet with
only two battleships of the eastern
fleet uninjured since war began.

STILL OPERATING SEPARATELY
Order for Combining Railroad Yards
Not Vet Issued.

Not Yet Issued.
Somewhat premature was the state
ment published some days ago as re-
CARDS promulgation of an order for
the consolidation of the yards and
working forces of the two railroads.
While it is considered as being only
question of time before the roads
will occupy joint yards and probably
also joint offices, nothing of an Off
cial nature has been received here
saying the consolidation had been ac-
complished.
All known here is that the matter
is under consideration and that it has
received the endorsement of the Off
cials acting in an advisory capacity,
but nothing further. Before the rec
concentrations can be made effective
they will have to be passed upon by
the directors of the two companies,
for it is regarded as extremely doubt
full whether the presidents have the
power to order so important move
without authorization from their re-
spective boards. Until notified from
headquarters of the change the local
representatives of the two roads will
continue to carry ON business separately
and distinctly from each other. 1t is
but true, however, to state that they
would not be greatly surprised were
they to receive notification OF an au-
thoritative nature almost any day that
! the merger" had been ordered.

WORK STILL SUSPENDED.
Swift Current Oil Company Waits for
Shows Disappearance.

William Meadowcraft, who has been
engaged for the past year drilling an
oil we'll on the property of the Mon
tana Swift Current Oil company, was
in the city this week, says the Havre
Plaindealer. Mr.. Meadowcraft states
that a dozen Oil companies have been
organized since the strike OF oil on
the Swift Current Oil company's
ground, and that the field will, he
believes, develop to be the richest
oil field in the world. On account OF
the deep snow work has been tempo
rarily suspended ON the property OF the
swife Current company, but will be
prosecuted with vigor with the open
ing of spring.
