Heretofore-secretary Of Chamber
Of Commerce Writes Mine operat-
ors Regarding Movement.

Billings wants the honor of being
the meeting place OF the conference
between the Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho wage scale committee Of the
United Mine Workers Of America and
the operators association, and Secre-
tary Decker of the chamber Of COM
.merce is putting forth every effort
with this end in view.
Meetings Of the wage scale commit
tee and operators are held once each
year, usually early in the fall, and q
wage scale and several other matters
are arranged during the meeting. In
the past these meetings have been
held at Helena, and the conference
usually lasts for 80 days OF more.
The secretary OF the chamber OF
commerce has written to many Of the
mine operators in this section asking
them to use ther influence to secure
the conference for this city. Mr..
Decker is confident that such a move
will meet with the approval Of the
operators at least, as Billings is bet
ter suited geographically as q place
for holding the conference than most
cities in the state, being the outlet
for the Carbon county coal fields and
the terminus of the Burlington's line
through northern Wyoming.

MAJORITY OF CLIPS ON BILLINGS
MARKET DISPOSED OF.
NO AUCTION At MILES
Growers Representing Majority Of
Clips Opposed to Sealed Bid system
Met Sunday Night and Took
Action.

So far as Billings Is concerned the
wool season is about at an end. The
majority Of the clips which were to
be placed on the market in this city
this year have been sold and 1t is safe
to say that much less than a million
pounds remain to be moved.
Many Of the buyers who have made
their headquarters in this city this
summer have gone to other markets
in this state or else back to Boston
and other eastern cities. No sales
have been reported during the past
few days, although It is known, that
"a few OF the smaller clips have been
contracted for at private sales or else
negotiations looking to their sale are
pending.
s At a meeting Of the wool growers
held at Miles City Sunday night,
which was attended by 80 growers
representing or owning the majority
Of the wool on the Miles City market,
1t was unanimously decided that the
growers would not offer their clips for
sale at the auction sales arranged by
the buyers to be held there yesterday.
The majority Of the growers at
Miles City are opposed to the sealed
bid system as inaugurated by buyers
and growers. The growers showed .
desire to give their action as much
publicity as possible in order that 9TH
er growers in the state might learn Of
the course they had taken.

tors Kttredge and Gamble of South
Dakota, locked horns on the floor of
the senate today over the bill to
create an additional land district in

expressed by Senator Kittredge that
the bill had been called up and he
stated that as late as II o'clock today
he had reached an agreement with his
colleague that the measure should go
over until such time as confer
ence could be had with the senators
from North Dakota, with a view OF
including portion of that state IN
the district. He protested that it was
not fair for his colleague to put him
in the position of Directing to the
passage of bill for the benefit of his
state. Senator Gamble, replying, said
he had talked with Senator McCum.
Der of North Dakota, since he discuss.
ed the matter with his colleague and

be home on Washington's birthday
that President Roosevelt may partici-
pate in a welcome before his retire
ment from Office ten days later.
In deciding at the cabinet session
today, to accept the invitation extend
ed by China, it was also determined
that the limit of social calls had been
reached and that all other invitations,
should any more be extended, would
be declined with appreciation and re.
gretful thanks"
An earlier departure than July G

plated in arranging the extended itin-
erary. This. however, will depand on
the repairs necessary when the ships
reach that port.
Admiral Evans reported today that
splendid progress was being made in
target practice at Magdalena bay. The
impression prevails at the department
that the Maine and Alabama may be
detached from the fleet and their plac
es taken by the Nebraska and Wis.

be in need of overhauling.

UNlONISTS
WIN IN ENGLISH BYE-ELEcTloN
AND CAUSE BIG COM.
MOTION

London, Mar PA most keenly
fought by-election for the present par
lament, which was necessitated
through the death of Chas. Goddard
Clarke, the member for Peckham dis.
trict in London, south of the Thames,
resulted today in a great victory for
the unionists, whose candidate, S. C.
Gooch, was elected by majority of
2,494.
The liberals carried the district in
1906 by a majority of 1889. The con-
test today centered largely on the
government licensing bill, and the
conversion of the large liberal major
ity into a still greater conservative
majority is a striking demonstration
against that measure. The announce
ment of the returns in the house of
commons caused scene of the great
est excitement. There were unionist
shouts demanding that the government
resign.
