that her name had been given to the
little place, whereupon she gave 800

passed through Langtry once more,

European residents of Port Arthur
have been reassured but the Chinese
are making frantic efforts to get
away. Reports Of Russian victories
are, it is said, being circulated to buoy
up the hopes of the residents. 1t is
apparent that the Russians have for
the present decided not to use their
feet but to depend upon the land

ron Hayashi say the Japanese admir-
al. on arriving at Chemulpo. Korea,
sent in word to the two Russian cruis-
ers, Variag and Korietz. giving them
time limit in which to leave Short
ly afterward the Russians came out
and attacked Japanese torpedo
boat, which replied with a torpedo in
effectively. A general exchange of
shots then followed. After hot fire
the Russians returned to Chemulpo
and sank at the entrance of the har-
Dor. II is not yet known whether
their sinking was due to the Japanese
fire or to the Russians own action,
but 1t is believed TO be due to the
former. The crews of both the Rus
sian vessels sought refuge on a
French warship at Chemulpo. There
were no casualties among the Japan
ese, and their vessels sustained no
damage. According TO the official ad-
vices received by Baron Hayashi. on.
ly four battalions of Japanese troops
have up to the present been landed
at Chemulpo, Korea.
The cruiser Variag. which was
built at Cramps shipyard, Philadel-
phia, in 1898, was OF steel, unsheath-
ed. She was of $500 tons displace-
ment, and her indicated horse power
was 10000. On her speed trial she
made % knots an hour for eight

MENTALLY TWISTED.
Ralph York Ordered Sent to the Asy-
lum for Brief Spell.


Ralph York was brought down TO
Lewistown TO testify in the Huiett
case. He had not been here but a
short while before ..e commenced to
display marked tendencies of a man
who is afflicted with a loft full of bats.
He acted queerly while on the witness
stand and was called down by the
court for volunteering more informa-
tion than was asked for by the at.
torney who was examining him. AZ
ter the trial he was a constant diver.
sion for several jokers about the city.
who had him going through all sorts
of CREATIONS for their amusement. One
morning he was told that there was
a train down on the track and that
he was wanted TO take her out at 5
O'Clock in the morning. Promptly at
that unearthly hour he was up and on
his way TO the track TO board his en-
gine.
On another occasion some OF the
boys at the hotel dared him to pull
on his shoes and run out into the
snow in his bare feet. He at once
took OFF his shoes and proceeded to
run out into the streets. Last Satur-
day night he went down to one OF the
saloons in the city which has rou-
lette wheel as part OF the bar room
fixtures. The man who was manipu-
lating the ivory requested Iork to ruI
the wheel for short while. This,
the poor gullible readily consented to
do. A few moments later the wheel
man returned and. unrecognized by
York. commenced TO plunge. In lit
tie while he had won $3.50. York was
then taken from the place and a
''phoney" officer arrested HIM on the
charge OF being in a conspiracy TO de-
fraud the house. Jack o .Seill. the vet
eran of two wars, went his bond for
81 900 and York was released. Early
Monday morning he was up consult
ing member of a well known law
firm with the view to retaining him
to help him out of his difficulty.
3 The proprietor of the place finally
told York that II he could dance In his
bar room until his services had reim-
bursed him for the loss OF the four
hundred and eighty the charge would
be dropped. York instantly agreed to
this. and, TO show his good will, went
right TO work He danced until he
was ready TO drop at that time and
appeared at different times during the
day ready and apparently anxious TO
perform his part OF the contract.
His actions finally caused Jacob
Holzemer to lodge complaint against
him and Monday afternoon he was
placed in confinement TO await an ex-
animation OF his mental condition.
The examination was held this morn
ing and York was ordered sent to the
hospital at Warm Springs. He seems
to be harmless sort of fellow but
Is possessed Of great array OF most
impossible schemes. He appears TO
be especially adapted for the herding
OF band of woolies in some isolated
part of the bad lands. and IL might
be cheaper for the county to get him
a job than To send him to the springs.

NO one who knew Senator Hanna
could fail to recognize in him those
remarkable qualities of mind and
heart that distinguished him. He was
man in a thousand for generosity,
honesty and loyalty. He was one of
the truest friends that ever lived"
Mr.. Hay said that one of the most
surprising things about Senator Han.
mas career was the contrast between
the mans true character and the
cloud of calumny and vituperation
that was made to surround his name
by political opponents. Things that
were attributed to him by thoughtless
adyersaries were precisely the things
OF which he was incapable.
Senator Hanna was the soul of
honor, candor and open. fair dealing"
added Mr.. Hay. so far from being.
as some like to regard him, creator
OF trusts and organized wealth. he
was one OF the most powerful and de-
voted champions of the laboring peo-
pie in this country. He believed in
his party. He was devoted to his
friends. and we shall find, now that
he is gone, some of the truest mourn
ers in the ranks of the opposition, as
among them in life he counted some
Oh his most devoted friends.
Senator Hanna was faithful and
loyal friend of President Mckinley:
perhaps his most intimate friend.
and their names will always be asso-
ciated in our political history as types
of disinterested friendship and mutual
confidence"
President Roosevelt called at the
Arlington tonight personally to ex-
press his condolences to members of
Senator Hannas family. He saw Mrs.
Hanna. II. NJ. Hanna. the senator's
brother. and Dan X. Hanna, his son,
and remained with them for some
time.
Some consideration has been given
by the president and several members
of the cabinet to the question of &C.
companying the funeral party to the
place of burial OF the senator's body
in Ohio. The president would like
to go very much and II is possible he
may 90.

Naval FIGHT at Port Arthur.

Toxic. Feb. IL Thursday Vice
Admiral Togos' official report of the
desperate attack of the Japanese
fleet at Port Arthur reached Toxic
late this afternoon.
The report was written at sea. The
report briefly and modestly recounts
the Japanese victory. Vice-Admiral
Togo left the battle ground not know
ing the full extent of the damage his
torpedo shells had inflicted, but he
was evidently confident that the Rus
slams had suffered heavily. A trans
lation of vice-Admiral Togo's report
follows;
After the combined feet left Sas-
ebo February 9Th, everything went as
planned. At midnight, February Sth,
our advance squadron attacked the
enemy at Port Arthur. At the time
the enemy's advance squadron was for
the most part outside of Port Arthur.
OF the advance squadron at least the
battleship Poltava. the protected
cruiser Askold and two others appear
ed to have been struck by our torpe-

bay and attacked the rest OF the enc

result of the attack Is not yet known.
but considerable damage was infiict-
ed on the enemy, and | believe they
were greatly demoralized. They stop.
ped fighting about l o'clock and ap'
peared to retreat into the harbor. In
this action the damage to our fleet
was very slight and our fighting
strength is not in the least decreas'
ed. The number of killed and wound
ed was 5S. OF these four we're killed
and 81 were wounded. A report OF
the engagement of the detached
squadron at Chemulpo has probably
been sent you directly by Admiral
Uriu. as our advance squadron bore
the brunt of the enemy's fire. and
after the attack have. for the most
pa (, rejoined the main feet. All the
imperial princes on board the ships
are unharmed.
THE conduct of our officers dur
ing the action was cool, not unlike
that during ordinary maneuvers
Since the battle their spirits have
been high, but their conduct was very
calm this morning. owing TO a heavy
south wind. There has been no com
munication between ships and no de
tailed report has been received from

ports that Viceroy Alexeff is practic-

dynamite for Port Arthur.
The Nagasaki correspondent of the

Russia is quite unable to hold the Lao
Tung peninsula and that Port Arthur

Rush Iowa to Far East.

New York, Feb. 15.-Orders receiv-
ed at Brooklyn navy yards today led
to the spreading of the rumor that
the navy department was preparing
to send the battleship Iowa to the far
east. Rumors were caused by receipt
of orders to replace guns on the Iowa
that were damaged during recent tests
by two guns of similar size from the
battleship Indiana, which is at pres.
ent out of commission at the yards.
When the Iowa returned to Brooklyn
after the bursting of two large guns
in Hampton Roads, it was said that
two new ones would be shipped from
Washington at once. The fact that
the Iowa Is wanted in such hurry
that she can not wait for these new
guns. but must take the old ones from
the Indiana was much commented on

IT DOES NOT PAY.
Professional WoIfers Have Stopped
Hunting Wolves.


Il notice that the depredations
committed upon the fiocks of Custer
county this year by the wolves and
coyotes are twice as many as they
were last said Assistant State Au.
ditor Oliver NJ. Holmes. The reason
for this without doubt is the reduc-
tion OF the bounties on these animals.
which was made by the last legisla-
ture. The premium upon the VOLTS
scalp is s. and upon that OF the coy
ote SO. Formerly they brought s.
each.
There are many more coyotes
than there are wolves, so that the re-
duction meant a falling of in the in.
come of the professional 'wolfers.
These men say that they can not af.
ford to hunt coyotes at So head, and
there are not enough wolves to pay
them for the hunting.
The reason the reduction was
made was to equalize the bounty paid
in Montana with that paid in the
neighboring states. What would have
been a better plan would have been
for the legislature and for the various
associations Of stockmen, to try and
have the bounty raised in the adjoin-
ing states SO that there would be no
inducement for a man TO cross the
line with his scalp 10 collect a larger
premium in another state"
State Auditor J. II. Calderhead is
of the opinion that the bounty whieh
is now placed upon bears should be
removed and placed upon mountain
lions. The animals now bring 500
each.
The bear seldom kills stock. and II
is rare indeed that one kills any
game" said Mr.. Calderhead. III
would be OF advantage to the sports
men and big game hunters TO hav,
the bounty removed from bears. ant

witt Japanese plans, 1t is stated that
repeated attacks on Port Arthur are
not for the purpose of seizing that
place at present. unless an unexpect-
ed weakness in the Notifications there
should develop. They are part of a
well defined plan for the harrassing
of the Russian feet until Korea can
be occupied. The bottling up of the
fleet there enables the landing of
troops on Korea without the convoy
of a large number of warships. Re-
ports of disorder in various parts of
Korea hastened the operations of the
Japanese that they might obtain pos
session before anarchy became preva.
lent and foreign interests menaced In

latter beasts kill upon an average of
three game animals a week.
Then, too. many persons go bear
hunting for the sake OF the skin,
which will bring anywhere from $40
TO $50. If a hunter runs across a
mountain lion he may kill il, but the
hunters do not go much out of the
way. for the bounty Is small and the
skin is worth very ittle.'-Helena

Ships Laid Up for Repairs.

Chefoo. Feb. l5.-The steamer
Wenchow, which arrived from Port
Arthur, reports that eleven Russian
ships were struck In Wednesdays en-
gagement. II is stated that the cruis-
er Askold, with a big hole at her wa
ter line. has been towed into the In
ner basin and beached. The battle
ship Sevastopol has a shell hole just
above the water line and is useless
In rough weather. The cruiser Novik
has a hole In her port side. The bat
tleship Retvizan is on the beach and
her bottom has fallen out. The cruis-
er Pallada was torpedoed abaft the
engine room. The battleship Care
witch, which also was torpedoed, has
been docked. The others were chief
ly damaged In their upper works. The
whole feet has been taken into the
inner harbor and Port Arthur is de-
pending for protection on her forts,
which have been reinforced. There
is frequent firing, which is presumab-
ly drawn by Japanese torpedo boats.
Firing was heard at midnight on Feb
ruary 18th, at intervals, also on the
night of the 18th and 18th. On Feb
ruary 14th firing continued until
o'clock In the afternoon.
An eye witness claims to have seen
eighteen dead landed from the Rus
sian ships Wednesday. II is under
stood that Admiral Starko has been
reduced for his failure to repulse the
Japanese attack. The cruiser Novik
was the only vessel to do effective
work. She gave chase to the Japan
ese torpedo boats, and, according to
the Russian account. sank two and
captured one. The Wenchow had 400
japanese refugees on board, and there
was an exciting time during the bat
tie of Wednesday, as the shells fell
all around the Wenchow. After sever,
