A ouTcRY.

A NEEDLESS oUTcRY.
Before the Mccall committee will
have made it's report on the report
of the fourth assistant postmaster
general many Of the congressman who
allowed themselves to become furious
at the latter will begin to wonder
why they did it and why they permit
ted impulse and temper to get the
better of their good sense and judg-
ment. Nothing in the Bristow report
intimated a violation of any law; the
most that it charged was that GER
tain rules of the postofice department
had been roughly handled by some of
the representatives in their zeal to
improve the postal service of their
respective districts.
Much has been made of little and
harsh things have been said when
there was no justification. Federal
statutes, enacted for the sole purpose
of preventing politicians from over
working their influence at the expense
OF the government treasury" have not
been overriden, Notwithstanding the
h~ysterical declarations of a democratic
contemporary to the contrary. Rules
may have been ignored, but no statu-
tory enactments have been violated.
That many men and representative Of
both parties are named In the Bristow
report as having succeeded in max
ing abrasures in the rules must be
accepted as showing that nothing so
villainous has been done and that it
was not a case Of Wholesale stealing
or wen pilfering from the govern
ment treasury. Had anything like a
concerted raid been attempted our
truly good and highly moral demo-
cratic minority in the house could
have been depended upon to perform
it's solemn duty of safeguarding the
nations interests and a prompt ex-
posure would have followed.
The worst that may be charged
is that representatives, democrats and
republicans, were successful in obtain
ing increased allowances of different
kinds for postofices in their respective
districts. Instead of injuring them in
the eyes of their constituency, it is
safe to say that it made them all the
more "solid." The congressman i'm
%portuned by the people of his district
or state to use his influence in that
direction who would refuse to do so
ment that because of the rules against
which he was asked to project himself
he had been unable to secure the re-
lief demanded would be told in short
name that instead of returning him
they would send some one for whom
rules had no such terrors. Even the
editors Of those same newspapers who
are now pretending that unwittingly
they have been supplied with the
long needed tissue" by an officer Of
the administration have Joined in pc
titions and prayers, not to say any
thing of demands for just those things
for the procurement of which they are
denouncing the men who needed
their requests.
If no more serious charges can be
made against congressman than that
they managed to secure a violation of
the rules of the general p~ostoffce
for the benefit of their districts none
need fear to go before the voters
for reelection.

FRUITFUL OF RuMoRs.
Visit from Railroad Officials Causes
Many Reports.

Much interest and probably
curiosity was manifested yesterday
when it became known that some OF
the higher officials of both the Bur
lington and Northern Pacific corapan-
les were IN the city and in close cor
ference. Surmises were many and
not a few. AS is the custom
of men in their positions the visitors
had nothing to say for public infor-
nation and those not in the secret
were compelled to satisfy themselves
with e guessing and surmising.
Some of the more enthusiastic
thought they saw in the convention
an early realization of hopes long
deferred, only in a more acceptable
fOrm-that it was to be a union pas
senger station of the two roads and
speculated as to the probable site
selected. Others attached less sig
nificance to the event, and judging
from the movements of the visitors
they apparently were nearer right.
The party examined the local yards
and then made a trip to the fiat where
large oil tanks are located, ground
they passed owe carefully, which
gave color to m of the reports-that
meeting had for it's object selec-
ton Of a site for the probable location
of joint yards by the two companies,

NORTHERN PACIFIC CHANGES.
II. J. Horn Made General Manager
Of the Company.

Of the Company.
Newspapers received here this morn
ing brought confirmation of a report
that was in circulation in railroad
circles yesterday concerning import
ant changes in the roster of the ex-
| ecutive branch of the Northern Pa
ciflc. One of them is of, particular
interest to the people of Billings, as
it H. j. Horn, formerly SUI
pe%rintendent of the Montana division.
Under the realignment he becomes
general manager of the company, sue
ceeding Thomas Cooper, who has
been made the company's land COM
missioner. w. H. Phipps, who has
been filling the latter position, has
resigned and will embark in business
ON his own account. Robert Petit
grew, superintendent of the com,
pany's Red Lodge mines, becomes
general manager of coal lands in
Montana. J.. F. Menzies will hold the
same position in the state of Washing
ton.
OF the many men connected with
the western railroads only a very few
have risen more rapidly or de-
servedly than Mr.. Horn, who is still
far, indeed, from being an old man.
Only a comparatively few years ago
he was an unknown engineer, a mem

AS such he assisted in constructing
the Butte Short Line, the cutoff be-
tween Butte and Logan, and was
present at a memorable occurrence in
connection with the completion of the
line which he frequently recalled when
meeting a certain newspaper man now
a resident Of this city. That the
event did not occur according to
schedule did not prevent the news
paper man aforesaid from exercising
his Imagination and the readers Of
the journal he represented were given
a glowing account of how the thing
probably would have eventuated had
circumstances not forced a postpone-

THE MERGER DECISION.

THE MERGER DECISION.
When President Roosevelt instruct
ed his attorney central to begin pro-
ceedings against the Northern Securi-
ties company under the provisions
of the Sherman antitrust act nearly
all of the democratic newspapers of
the state, particularly the Butte Miner,
intimated that it was only a sham,
a pretense, a political trick to deceive
the people and pave the way for a
ground ON which to ask a continue
ton of the present administration.
Now that the prosecution was sue
cessful, many of these same news
papers attempt to belittle the achieve
ment and ask what good has been
accomplished. Wilfullv they overlook
the fact that the law has been vim
dictated and that the opinion of the
supreme court is in harmony with
that of the people. Simply because
it vas a republican administration
that forced the arrogant combination
not only to halt, but to recede, they
say it wasn't much of a victory and
that it establishes no precedent to
imperil the interests of any other
trust or unlawful combination in re-
straint of trade or competition.
Not satisfied with assuming this posi-
ton, the Butte Miner goes further
and actually, if not literally, depre-
Gates the action that resulted in adj
verse decision for the merger and
virtually becomes a defender of the
combine. In this instance at least it
ceases to be a rabid trust BUSTER
and in the sorrow with which it finds
itself overwhelmed for once gives ex-
preston to it's true and sincere senti-
ments on the question of combina-
lions, whether industrial, commercial
or otherwise. Listen to it.:
The merger, as the Miner under
stands it, Vas not undertaken with a
view to effecting ends that could not
be as readily brought about without
it, although the public has been edu-
Gated to the belief-through an unlim.
tied amount of political demagogery
in connection with this matter-that
the cooperation of so-called Compel
ing railway lines was contingent up-
on a decision favorable to the merger.
But while different RAILWAYS connect
ing for business in the same section
OF the country may become compelI-
ed, by business reasons, to adopt sub
IL oduuC |
out reference whatsoever to a definite
merging of their stock into a central
control-separate arrangements imply
a much greater outlay in the aggre.
gate for operating expenses.
THE merger contemplated by the
Northern Securities company did not
have in view the accomplishing OF
results tacitly possible without such
an organization, but avoidance of the
vast OUTLAWS required to maintain and !
operate the roads involved in the |
scheme under wholly independent
managements."
After reading the Miners opinion
OF the decision the supreme court
Will probably hide itself and through
shame at its own ignorance resign

CAPTIvfS IN SERIOUS POSITION
PERDIcARIS AND vARtEY NAY BE

NOT GRANTED.

Tangier, Morocco, June I. - The
United States cruiser Brooklyn. flying
the flag of Rear Admiral Chadwick.
and the cruiser Atlanta have arrived
here. The other vessels of the United
States squadron are following.
The authorities here consider that
the position of the American, Perdi-
carts and his stepsOn, Cromwell Var
ley, a British subject, who were kid
mapped by bandits headed by Raisuli,
is now none serious than before.
1t is the understanding here that the
admiral commanding the American
fleet has orders to exercise pressure
upon the Moroccan authorities to in
duce them to accept Raisuli's terms.
The sultan is willing to pay a ransom
and liberate Raisuli's partisans, who
are now imprisoned. but Raisuli now
asks
American Protection
for the settlement. This last condi-
ton is considered dependent upon the
American government. Rear Admiral
Chadwick. accompanied by his aide,
the United States consul general and
two marines. visited M. Torres, the
representative of the sultan at Tan
gier. The interview lasted ten min
utes, after which M. Torres returned
the visit at the United States consul
ate while the Brooklyn fred a salute
in his honor.
M. Torres has informed the Ameri-
car and the British representatives
that he cannot grant Raisuli's terms.
A special courier, 1t is reported. has
been sent to the sultan, conveying the
American views.
Serious for captives.
Washington, June /. Mr.. Gum
mere, the United States consul at
Tangier, in q cablegram received at
the state department, says that
threats against the lives OF Raisuli's

mands are granted. A dispatch from
Admiral Jewell. commanding the Eu-
ropean squadron, announces the de-
parture for Tangier OF the cruisers

Warning From Secretary Hay.
Secretary Hay yesterday sent word
to Raisuli, the Arab bandit, that il any
serious harm comes 10 his American
captive the United States will hunt
him to his death, whether it takes
weeks, months or years.
MI. Gummere was expected to send

language as it can be put and to tell
him hat no European power will be

punishment.
