Preparing For Big Convention.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The number of
contests to be decided by the repub-
lican national committee promises
to upset the plans for the program
for the national convention. In is be-
lieved the credentials committee will
occupy two days in its deliber atone
before it makes its report. The "key-
note" prayer by Bishop Muldoon and
the naming of committees will occupy
most of the first days session, June
l6. The convention willIthen adjourn
until the credentials committee re-
ports.
All the signs point to the biggest
attend ance ever known at q national
convention. All the leading politi-
clans Of the country have engaged
quarters at the leading hotels, and
headquarters for various sections will
be established. The demands for
tickets of admission to the convention
hoor have completely swamped the
crmmittee. and i, seems pro ba BILE that
oLly small part of those desiring
admission with have opportunity to
see and hear the proceedings.

Clark Wants Lower Taxes.

NEWYORK, May 27.-Wlliam A.
Clark, former United States enator
from Montana, is compelled by de.
cision given few days ago to pay
taxes on his unfinished mansion on
the corner of Fifth avenue and
Seventy.seventh street. In January,
1906, when the palatial structure was
assessed at S2,l00,OO0, he admitting
that at least that sum was then spent
on it, he brought suit to have the
assessment reduced to nominal
amount, contending that the house
was without value while uninhabit-
able: that small owners were not
assessed for improvements until COM
pleted. and that the rich ought to
receive the same treatment as the
poor.
twas also averred that Clark was
legally a resident OF Montana ard
that in coming to this city to erec. a
house he was helping the community
by giving employment to almost a
thousand men. In 1907 the big,
lavishly decorated structure was as
sessed at 81, 500, 200, and this year a,
100000. 1t will not be ready tor
two years or more yet. When fitted
| and furnished it will probably re-
present an outlay of $40 900, 900 OF
Sl2, 100000.

Chinese Died In Crates.

WASHINGTON, May q. - Twelve
Chinese lives is the price paid by
smugglers in the test OF new scheme
for the evasion of the immigration
laws. The government discovered a
dozen orientals who had attempted to
enter the country by having them
selves Grated and expressed from Tex.
as to New York city. All were dead
upon their arrival in New York. 1t
is believed the Chinese were starving
when they finally died of suffocation.
The bodies had been on the road
over q week. A delay In the express
matter at St. Louis is believed to have
caused their food to give out and the
orientals were unable to give an alarm
to bring assistance. Each was shipped
in a separate crate. According to
reports received from Ell Paso, the
Chinese each we're given a bottle o1
water and q quantity of rice before
they were nailed up in the boxes
which proved to be their cofins.

FAVOR CURRENCY BILL.
Measure Will Furnish Relief in Sea
sons Of Money Stringency.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-An emer.
gency currency law is assured. The
currency legislation held its place to.
day as practically the only subject of
consideration at both ends of the cap.
itol, and when both houses adjourned
the compromise bill which was drafted
by the republican conferees had re.
ceived the sanction of the house and
had been presented to the senate,
where it was announced it would be
taken up for consideration tomorrow,
and where it will also be passed when
the vote is reached.
The republican conference decided
on the points to be carried in the CON-
promise bill, retaining the principles
of the Vreeland bill and adding
thereto from the Aldrich bill. The
reserve required to be retained in the
central reserves and other reserve
cities is 10 per cent straight. A re-
demption fund of 10 per cent instead
of 5 per cent required by the present
law, is stipulated and all of it shall
be held in Washington. The emer'
gency currency shall be subject to a
retirement tax of 6 per cent for the
first two months and an additional
per cent per month thereafter until lC
per cent is reached.
State, county and municipal bonds
shall be acceptable as security for
emergency currency at 80 per cent
of their market value. Other bonds
and commercial paper shall be
similarly acceptable at IS per cent Of
their NJ arkek value.

TRACKS WASHED OUT.
Floods Cause Suspension Of Business
On Northern Pacific.

BUTTE, June There has been no
passenger train into Butte from the
east over the Northern Pacific since
Saturday night because Of the stretch
of track between Livingston and Boze-
man, which has been washed away.
II was expected that westbound tr ain
would arrive from the east some time
tonight, but the fact that the east
bound North Coast has proceeded
over the Great Northern is an indica-
ton that the damage to Northern Pa.
cific tracks has been greater than was
at first thought.
A man in touch with railroads said
that there were eleven washouts on the
Northern Pacific, without counting the
big washout at Muir. The disposition
OF the railroad people naturally is to
minimize the trouble, but there are
drummers in town today and travellers
and tourists who have been waiting II
Butte since Saturday night to go east
and whose prospects were extremely
bad until the North Coast was routed
out over the Great Northern road.
The most completely shut In are th,
occupants of the six trains at Living
stou, which, averaging 200 to q car
would make 1920 passengers hung up
