for control OF the state republican con-
vention which met here yesterday to
select six delegates to the national
convention between the amalgamated
and Heinze factions, led respectively
by former United States Senator Car
ter and Mayor Edwards, of Helena, is
a bitter one.
: The Carter element is in am ugly
frame of mind because of the turn
down of the former chairman Of the
republican national committee, who
Was denied representation TO the state
convention by his own county yester-
day, the vote being seventy three to
fifty-aight against motion to substi-
tute his name for that of member of
the opposition.
Fighting Carriers aspirations were
former Senators Powers and Sanders,

speeches attacking the alleged ring
methods of the amalgamated lead

The outlook is that before night

been turned and the so called
Hesnze faction put to rout, as outside
Of Helena Carter has apparently
large majority of the delegates. 1t is
believed he will head the delegation to
the Chicago convention.

ILLINOIS SEASON is BACKWARD.
State Bulletin Says Soil is Too Wet
Wheat is Favorable.

Springfield, H., April 13.-The farm
ing season is decidedly backward, ac-
cording to bulletin issued Tuesday by
nois section of The weather bureau,
United States department of agricul-
ture. The soil is too wet for blowing
and sowing of oats us delayed. Fol-
lowing is the bulletin:
The weather the first part Of the
week was fair and cool, with consider
able sunshine; the latter part was
mostly cloudy and showery. On the
Sth a snowstor1n covered portions of
the central and the entire northern dis
trict. The tempera ture averaged below
normal.
The season is decidedly Backward;
the weather has been unfayorahle, and
but little progress made in farming
operations. The soil is wet and soggy
and unfit for spring blowing.
The average condition of winter
wheat is good, and the crop is inrprov-
ing where attveI Sc conditions obtained.
A small acreage of spr.ng wheat has
been sown. Considerable damage has
ensued in river bottom fields and low
lands from overaows and inundation.
In the principal wheat growing section,
the southern district, reports indicate
decreased acreage sown.
Much corn is spelling in cribs, and
seed of assured vitality will probably
be scarce.
Considerable sowing of oats has been
done in the northern district, but the
work done represents only u small part
of the crop. In the central ard south
ern districts but little progress has
been made and the season is estimated
to be ten days to two weeks back

Some old clover fields are reported to

The Horse Market.

AN Indications augur that the heavy
runs of the season have transpired
and future receipts will be of declining
proportions. Several buyers who can
vassed for horses in the country, last
week, returned empty handed, as they
could not buy horses at figures THAI
would warrant the additional expense
of freight terminal charges, feed bills
and commission TO resell al a profit u
the highest bidder on the block in
wholesale markets. With lighter re-
ceipts and a normal attendance OF
buyers, the market is stronger on all
classes. Spring demand has developed
normal proportions with orders in ex-
cess OF supply. With country supply
limited, current values should be well
sustained until the first Of June, and

REIMPosE GRAIN DUTY.
Former Tax of Cents Hundred.
WEIGHT To Prevail

London, April, 13.--The government,
1t is asserted, has decided to reimpose
the grain duties abandoned by Mr..
Richie, the former chancellor of the
exchequer 1t is added that the former
arrangement Of cents per hundred
weight on imported grain and 10 cents
on flour will be revived in its entirity,
as during the regime of former Chan
eellor OF the Exchequer Sir Michael
Hicks Beach.
The assertion that the grain duties

among the members OF the house of
commons. who expect thai the chan

the deficit largely from an increase In
the income tax
The combined efforts of the coal
owners, exporters, ship owners, and
miners have failed to induce Austen
Chamberlain Chancellor Of the ex-
cheQuer, to repeal the coal duty. An
important deputation representing all
these interests laid the case before the
chancellor yesterday and pleaded that
the duty was disastrous to every in
dustry connected with the coal trade,
and enabled their German and other
rivals to displace British coal. Mr..
Chamberlain, in reply, lengthily COM
pared the arguments of the petitioners
with the facts in his possession, and
concluded with denying that there was
any reason for the abolition of the
duty. He said the fact that the ex-
ports for the past year We're the largest
on record disproved the gloomy fore

In anticipation OF the opposition
moving an adjournment In order to call
attention to the blpodshed in Thibet. an
urgent whip was sent out by the gov

however, headed off the opposition
action by himself referring to the mat
ter. He said that since the recess be-
gan there had been an action in Thibet
which had made 1t necessary In ac-
cordance with the statute TO ask the
house to sanction the employment OF
Indian troops beyond the frontier. The
premier thought there should be no de-

would introduce a resolution to this

Montana Politician Said to be Afflicted
With Tuberculosis.

Washington, April Ex-senator
William A. Clark, of Montana, is
threatened with tuberculosis and
sailed from New York yesterday for
Genoa.
He will consult specialists in Milan
and Berlin and win spend the next
three months seeking relief from the
most famous pulmonary experts dn the
world.
The senator has been suffering
greatly for the past six months from
what the doctors here called acute
bronchitis. His disease became so
painful just after congress convened
that he went TO New York to try the
liquid air experiments.
1t is said Senator Clark has al
ways had a dread OF pulmonary
trouble, as he dnherits a weakness of
the lungs. While no immediate alarm
is felt, there is great anxiety among
his friends to learn the result of his
consultations with the German doc
