by the people themselves, who should
carefully consider all petitions before
signing them.
The committee and those present
were unanimous in the opinion that
no endorsement Of any candidate or
opposition to any candidate should be
made by the committee. That it was
not within the province of the COM
mlttee to interfere IN any manner as
to candidates, and that while the in
dividual members might and should
express personal choice. it was the
duty of the committee, and the reg.
ular party organization would aid,
to give the primary law full and fair
trial, to the end that the party itself
make the nominations, hoping that
the spirit and intent Of the law would
prevail If any mistakes are made,
they cannot be charged to committee
of the party, but the responsibility
rests with the party voters. Every
qualified voter has a right under the
law to become candidate for any Of
fee, and If nominated by the voters at
the primary election, should receive
the full support Of the organization
and the party at the polls.
A list of all candidates for the var
ious county and state Offices was read
by the chairman, as a matter of infor-
nation for those present. and as far as
known the following named persons as
candidates on the republican ticket
were read as having petitions in cir
culation or being mentioned as candi-

it is said they aspired:

SUPPLIED FROM SWEDEN
Russian Newspaper Publishes Alleged
Used by Finnish Revoutionists.
[By Associated Press1

st. Petersburg, Feb 5.-An interest
ing article exposing the extensive i'm
portation of arms into Finland for the
use of the revolutionists was printed
today by the Novoe Vremya, whose
correspondent visited the headquar-
ters of the smugglers at Lulea, Swe-
den, and saw several conveys of rifles
and pistols start on the overland trip
around the head of the Gulf of Both
mia to Finland. The arms were car
ried in sledges drawn by reindeer
The smugglers made but slight con-
cealment of their traffic and boasted
of it's easy nature and their profitable
undertaking, which was facilitated by
the connivance of the frontier guards,
who are in sympathy with the Finnish
people. Dynamite in large quantities
is also imported, though the SNUG
glers dislike to handle it, owing to its
dangerous nature.
The incident may lead 10 diplomatic
complications with Sweden.

RIOTINC in PROVINCES
Fierce Fighting Between Military
Forces and Parishioners Reported
From Different Placss-Women
Fined and imprisoned At Paris for
Resisting Commissioners.
[By Associated Press]

Paris, Feb. 5.-Mmes de Billy and
Petit were each sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and fine Of
40 francs today for connection with
the recent disturbance at the church
of St. Roche, when an inventory of
the property of the church was being
made in conformity with tie church
and state separation law. Several
other persons were given sentences
ranging from two to six months and
fines of 40 francs for resisting the
commissioners at St. Clothilde's
church.
Today's making of inventories was
productive of many disturbances in
the provinces. At Montpelier a
small army composed of infantry, en-
gineers and gendarmes stormed the
church of Notre Dame. Fierce fight
ing ensued inside the church and many
persons were wounded. Seven of
those resisting the efforts of the com
missioner were arrested, among them
being Count de Kergerelay There
was some fighting outside the church.
At Toulouse members of the con-
gregation barricaded themselves in the
cathedral and rang a tocsin, causing
the authorities to abandon all at
tempts to make an inventory. The
manifestants then proceeded to the
Masonic temple and knocked in the
doors.
At Questembert in Brittany the con-
gregation beat off a storming party of
gendarmes. At another place in Brit
tany 1000 manifestants, headed by
Colonel de Soyer, repulsed several at
tempts of the gendarmes to storm a
church.

Many Changes Made Calculated to Meet
Objections Raised by China.
[By Associated Pressl

Washington, Feb. 5.-Secretary Met
calfe of the department of commerce
and labor today took most important
action which is expected to consider
ably ameliorate the friction existing
between this country and nina and,
perhaps, cause abandonment of the
anti-American boycott, when he ap-
proved the report of the special COM
mittee composed of Assistant Secre-
tary Murray, Solicitor Sims and Rich
ard Campbell of the bureau of immi-
grafton, providing for radical revis-
ion of existing regulations under
which Chinese may enter and reside
in the United States. The commit
tees report touches by way of either
excision or amendment "a of the ex-
listing regulations, all of the changes
being made IN the direction of lib
eralization.
Besides certain alterations that
promise to avoid delay in the landing
of Chinese who apply for admission,
changes have been made with a view
to avoiding any action that would
seem offensive, provided that the OBJ
ject intended by such regulations could
be accomplished otherwise. AS an

commended the discontinuance of the

MAKES ANOTHER DEMAND
Colombia Again Insists on Payment
from United States for Loss of
Panama.
[By Associated Press1


Washington, Feb. 5.-Columbia has
again renewed her demand for recon-
pense from the United States because
of the separation of Panama. This
last application was submitted to Sec
retary Root recently by Senor Diego
Mendoza. 1t is said to be in general
terms similar to the presentment orig
inally made by General Reyes, the
present executive head of Colombia,
when he was in Washington last year
as special commissioner and minis
ter from Colombia
While this last presentment is IN
the nature of claim against the
United States government, the amount
of the damages sustained by the par
ent state on account of Panama's Sc
session is not set down.
Secretary Root has the last note
under consideration, but it is believed
that nothing has occurred to change
the position originally taken by the
state department in this matter, name
ly that the United States was in no
way responsible for the separation OF
Panama.

New York Feb. 5.-John S. White,
president of the Imperial Trustees
company of Jersey City, and Rob
ert G. Ruxton and Clyde Colt,
brokers of this city, were arrested
today by United States Mar
shal Henkel on indictments charging
them with using the mails to defraud.
The three men were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Shields
and their hearing was fixed for Febru-
airy "a.
1t is alleged that Colt and Ruxton
sent out thousands of circulars setting
forth that they represented clients
with millions of idle capital to invest
in firstcIass securities. When visited
by representatives of various concerns
it is alleged Ruxton and Colt proposed
to handle the securities offered, pro-
vided they were guaranteed by the I'm

should do his best to get the bill out
of the house at the earliest possible
moment, which was taken to mean
that he would vote for it.
Ten other speeches were made, all
of them by members who will vote for
the bill, but some of whom would like
opportunity to amend the measure.
Gaines of Tennessee has an anti
pass amendment, which he will bring
forward at the proper time.
At the conclusion of the day, Hep

it looked now as though debate would
end at 8 o'clock Wednesday. The
reading of the bill will begin at once
and he is of the opinion that it can be

"Bertillon system of Identification"
Another amendment of the regula-
tions recommended by the committee
is a requirement that the administra-
tive officers shall advise Chinese per-
sons, either laborers or of the ex-
empted classes, before their departure
from the United States of the condi-
tions upon which they can be admit
ted upon their return. Upon this
point the officers are directed to use
special care that no Chinese person
who has a right to reside in this
country shall be allowed to depart
therefrom under mistaken impress
sion that he will certainly be readmit-
ted.
Provisions are also made for notifi-
cation of Chinese persons who have
been denied admission of their right
to appeal from such denial to the Sec
retary, such notice being required
under the new regulations to be in the
Chinese tongue. AS further pre-
caution notice is to be given the

RIGHT -OF-WAY AGENT HERE
Grading Of Great Falls Road Will Be
Done by St. Paul Firm.

ID. F. Smith, right-ofway agent for
the Great Northern railroad, whose
headquarters are in ST. Paul, has been
spending the past two days in the
city.
The object Of Mr.. Smiths visit here
is to take the preliminary steps to-
ward securing the right of way
through this county for the extension
of the Burlington railroad from Bill
lings to Great Falls.
Yesterday Mr.. Smith was in con-
ference with David Fratt, Louis Leh-
feldt, the Jenizen Bros, and many
other land owners in the northern
country. whom he was so fortunate as
to meet in the city. He is provided
with sectional maps of the northern
part of the county, and it is evident
that the route has already been prac-
tically determined on as he is we'll
informed as to just whom he desires
to communicate with on the subject of
right-of-way. 1t is thought that the
right-of-way will be secured by the
company at nominal cost for every
land owner in the section where the
road will traverse is jubilant over the
fact that the road is going to be built.
In this county the new road will pass
through range lands for the greater
part and hence, even if the owners
should desire to be recompensed, the
cost will be very small as compared
with what it would be were the region
one of farms and cultivated lands.
Contract is Let.
A dispatch from Salt Lake states
that the contract has been awarded
to Guthrie & Co., of st. Paul, a fact
that was announced in this paper sew
eral days ago. The report says:
