A Sensitive Tenor,

Roger, the celebrated French tenor,
was exceedingly proud of his profess
sion and was apt to take offense at the
least slight. whether intended or not.
On one occasion he was engaged for
the sum Of EGO to sing at the house Of
rich financ.er who thought it the cor
rect thing to have the principal singers
Of the day ut his house parties.
Roger sang his first song magniti-
Gently, but not the slightest attention
was paid him, the guests talking their
loudest Presently the host thought
that it was about time for another
song and sent for Roger, but he could
not be found and was seen no more.
On the following day Mr.. Plutus was
surprised to receive from Roger notes
to the amount of ESQ, with the follow
ing words:
Il have the honor to return the EGO
which l received for singing at your
party. and l beg to add EGO more to
make up for having SO greatly dis
turDed the conversation Of your
guests. London Tit-Bits

Different Kinds Of Days.

Five kinds Of day are recognized
and it has been said that the word
"day' has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind Of day
is meant. There is civil day, the as
Economical day, the apparent solar day,
the mean solar day and the sidereal
day. The civil day begins at the mid
night preceding mean noon and con-
sists of tWenty-four hours counted aft
er IL o'clock. The Astronomical day be-
gins twelve hours after the civil day,
Or at the mean noon of the correspond
ing civil day. These hours are reck-
oned from to "a. It will be seen,
therefore, that while 10 hours II min
utes Jan. / astronomical time Is also
10 hours II minutes Jan. l civil time,
yet % hours - minutes Jan. / astrO-
nomical time is also 10 hours 12 min
utes a. III. Jan. 2 civil time. There are
many anomalies growing out of this
use Of the civil day, and there are
many arguments in favor of using the
astronomical day. 1t is one of the re-
forms which undoubtedly will come
some time.-London Standard.

The Hague Peace Conference.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.--In a circu-
lar note Secretary Hay has carried
out the presidents instructions rela-
tive to proposing second Hague
conference. The note not only con-
the reassembling of the Ha.
que conference for the consideration
of questions specifically mentioned by
the original conference as dem manding
further attention, such as the rights
and duties OF neutrals, but goes fur
ther by practically endorsing the pro-
ject of general system of arbitr alton
treaties and the establishment of an
International congress to meet period.
ically in the interest Of peace. The is
sue OF the call while the present war is
in progress is justified by the fact tn al
the first Hague conference was called
before our treaty Of peace with Spair

Would Exclude Japanese.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The invasion OF
the American industrial field by Jap.
anese laborers is feared by President
Michael Donnelly of the Butcher
Workmen's union. 10 head off the
Japanese, Donnelly will introduce a
resolution at the convention of the
American Federation of La Dor in San
Francisco next month calling for the
enactment of legislation excluding
them from the United States.
The matter was brought to Donnel-
ly's attention by call made on him
by X. Okajima, the japanese who was
seeking information regarding con-
ditions in the packing plants. MIR.
Okajima showed letters of introduce
tion to the packers recommending him
as the proper person to furnish them
with japanese labor. He said that he
had been told the employers in Chi
cago could give work to 500 or 60C

ran against Mr.. Carter, and the re-
turns we're: Dixon, Is, All: Carter 10,
12S.
In 1892, Hartman was the repu blican
candidate for congress, and was elec-
ted over Dixon dem. by a plurality
of about two hundred. Two years
later he again ran as a republican,
and secured plurality of some 5000
over Robt. B. Smith, populist, the
democratic candidate, Hal S. orbett,
being third on the list. Hartman was
elected as fusion candidate in 1896,
and two years later A. J. Campbell,
democrat received 23,35l, while T.
G. Marshall (repu blican) polled IA, :
1923 votes, the former securing a plu.
rality of some $500. In the election
of 1900, Caldwell Edwards, the fusion
candidate for congress, received a
plurality of about five thousand.
From this record it appears that
Montana's political status has under
gone many rem markable changes, and
the probable result of the election this
year is a subject of dispute among po-
litical prophets.

FOUR YEARS AGO.

In the presidential election of 1900,
the total vote cast in Montana was
about 81 900. The vote for presideu-
tial electors, according to the official
returns, aggreg gated 63,64l, while the
total cast for the several candid ates
for governor was 63,SO3. Nearly two
hundred electors who cast their bal
lots for one or the other of the candi-
dates for governor, failed to vote for
presidential electors.
There we're four candidates for gov
ernor in the election Of 1900, Toole be-
ing the fusion nominee, Folsom the re-
publican candidate, Hogan the inde-
pendent democratic, and Fox the So
cialist-democrati candidate. The lat
ter polled a total of only sos votes in
the entire state-receiving only two
votes in Chouteau county.
The vote for governor four years
ago, which is given herewith, shows
the polling strength of the respective
counties at that time:

tonight made his first platform ap.
pearance away from his home at
Esopus since his nomination as the
candid ate for president. He had to
but raise his hand to gain control of
his audience. While his voice was
not strong, it is said he could be
heard IN every part of the building.
Judge Parker's speech was of char
acter intended to appeal to the popu-
lar demand as we'll as to the audience
which gathered upon invitation of the
Parker and Davis Business Men 8

meeting was held. Two hours before
Judge Parker was scheduled to arrive

A Republican Estimate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Sen ator
Scott of West Virginia, who is chief
of the speakers bureau at republican
headquarters in New York, showed
the president today poll of West
Virginia. He declined to make pub.

asserted that the republican nation al
ticket would carry the state by 10000
to $4,000 majority. OF political con-
ditions generally, he said the fight
was won.

ExpECT BIG BATTLE.
Russian Authorities Believe japanese
Will Soon Resume Fighting.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. LIVERY
thing indicates that both the japanese
and Russian armies south of Mukden
are ready for a resumption of hostili-
ties. General Kuropatkin reports that
the japanese have received reinforce
ments from the south and from Feng-
wangcheng. Their concentr alton seems
to have been accomplished and they
are ready to resume the offensive,
both east and west Of the railroad. 1t
is believed that the Japanese force has
been verv largely augmented from
Port Arthur, where an engineering
siege has been begun and from whence
it is understood every available man
is being drafted. 1t seems to be as
sured at the japanese will be able
to meet General Kuropatkin on al
most, if not quite, an equal numerical
footing.
1t is believed that the second battle
of the Shakhe river will prove to be
as much bigger and more serious than
the first as the first was more serious
than the battle of Liao Yang. Cen
eral Kuropatkin is confronted by an
exceedingly difficult problem. He is
pitted against Japanese force
stronger, even despite its recent losses,
than that opposing the southern ad-
vance.

A Hot Time AT Port Arthur.

CHE Foo, Oct 3O.-The third gen.

tober 24, according to unimpeachabl BILE
authority. On October 26 Japanese
shells set fire to the only smokeless
powder magazine IN Port Arthur.
Portions of the town caught fire, the
contlagration continuing the whole
day.
On October 26th also, the japanese
captured the Russian trenches on the
slope of Rihlung mountain, also a
fortified position protecting the for.
tress. The Japanese consider the
progress of the siege to be highly
satisfactory.

Chouteau County Republican Ticket.
THE VOTE OF MONTANA.

The presidential election of this
year is the fourth occasion upon which |
the people of Montana have partici-
pated in the duty and privilege of
choosing the chief executive, and it is
believed they will give the electoral
vote of this state in favor of Theodore !
Roosevelt.
At the first presidential election in
which citizens of Montana took part
that of IS92-they gave plurality of
about 300 for the republican nation
al ticket. The official election returns
of that year for presidential candi-
dates were: Harrison, 1851; Cleve.
land, 1851: Weaver (pop. 1884,
Bidwell (pro. $40.
-Four years later the silver issue
caused a political revolution in the
mining states, and party lines in Mon
tana were abandoned in favor of what
many considered question of per-
sonal interest. The vote for prcsi-
Dental electors in 1896 was: Bryan,
1850; Mckinley, 10, 490, democratic
or fusion plurality of over $4,000.
In the third presidential election in
Montana, that Of 1900, the silver issue
was not SO prominent as four years
previously, and many of Bryan's
former supporters returned to their old
party organization. The vote for
presidential electors four years ago
was: Bryan, 81, l46; Mckinley, 25,-
373-a democratic plurality of II, ,773.
A non-partisau review of former
elections in Montana suggests the con.
clusion that it may be classed as a
doubtful state. There is a large ele-
ment among the voters which is infu-
enced by so-called leaders or agtators
and which holds the balance of power
In the congressional election of two
years ago the republican candid ate,
Joseph NJ. Dixon, received 24,626
votes: John Nj. Evans, democrat, 49,
$50: Martin Dee, The labor party can
didate, COOS; and Geo. w. Sproule,
socialist, 3,l31. Mr.. Dixon was elect
ed by a plurality Of 5,O66, but the COM
bined vote of his opponents was 2S,.
696.
Turning back to the early political
history of Montana, it is found thu
the first election for delegate to con-
gress was held on October %, 1864,
and when the returns were counted
they gave Sam Mclean dem. $3.50,
w. f. Sanders (rep. 2,666-a total
vote of little over $500. A feature
Of the election returns was the resu),
in Chouteau county, where Col. San
ders received 50 votes, while his op
ponent failed to get a single ballot il
his favor.
