A Bold Robbery.
LII. NO. %.

At about Z 7o'clock, Wednesday morn
ing. some one as yet inexperienced
entered the residence of Father Muir
tagh and stole about $50. The thief
was evidently aware of the where
abouts of those about the place. and
took advantage of the absence Of
Father T. J. Murtagh and his guest,
Father Loosebrook, who were in the
church, amp also that of Father John
Murtagh, who was al. the hospital, to go
through the building. The thief was
seen by the housekeeper and she en-
deavored to stop him, but was pushed
over chair as the man made his es-
cape and was so badly frightened that
she can give but meagre description
Of him.

For Development Of Northwest

Helena, Mont, Feb. 24.-Having
as it's purpose the settlement and de-
yelopment Of the great northwest,
which is interpreted to include Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon,
there will be organized at meeting
soon to be held in Helena, the North
western Development league, which
will include the states named. This
information is brought here by Sam
w. Teagarden on his return from st.
Paul where he attended dinner given
by Louis w. Hill to business men OF
Minneapolis and ST. Paul. When the
Omaha exposition Of western land
products was in progress, what is
called the Western Development asso-
citation was formed, Montana, Oregon
and Washington being invited to join.
That association is composed OF the
commercial bodies of Utah, Colorado,
Nebraska and Wyoming, and its de-
clared object is to advertise western

Helena, Feb. 27. Today's ballot
ing gave no indication Of breaking the
deadlock which has existed because of
the inability Of the majority to agree
upon a candidate and this morning
there was general feeling in Helena
that the probability of the vacancy
not being filled is stronger than ever.
The session will end Thursday by
constitutional limitation and while il
is possible that tomorrow or Wednes-
day, or even the last hour, may bring
q solution Of the problem, there is no
evidence that any such hope is enter
tanned in the vicinity of the capitol
building.

CANAL TO
BE FORTIFIED
Sentiment in Congress Overwhelmingly in Favor
Of Protecting the Big Waterway.

Washington, Feb. 25.-After
nearly five hours of debate, the
house Of representatives shortly be-
fore10 o'clock tonight voted over
WhelmingIy in favor Of fortifying
the Panama canal and appropriated
So, 100000 to begin the work, the to-
tai cost Of which is estimated at
Sl2, 900, 900. The action Of the house
practically settles the question Of
Notifications, for the sentiment in
the senate is said to be more than
two to one IN favor Of protecting
the isthmian waterway.
The real test came on an amend
ment proposed by Representative
IaWney of Minnesota, chairman of
the committee on appropriations.
The amendment provided th2t no
part Of the money set aside for lor-
tidcations should be used until the
president had attempted to negoti-
ate treaties with all Of the leading
maritime nations guaranteeing the
neutrality and international protee-
ton Of the canal.
Representative sherley Of Ken
tucky attacked this amendment and
warned members that it had been
introduced for the sole purpose Of
defeating the appropriations.
The TaWney amendment then was

voted down by 130 to 63.
A motion by Representative Kei-
fer Of Ohio to strike out all provi-
sion for the fortification Of the ca
nal was lost BY q vote Of 1876 to 81.
The real interest IN the debate
seemed to center in tho TaWney
amendment aLd the speeches made
for and against it by Mr.. Tawney
and Mr.. sherIey. Mr.. TawAey, a
stalwart republican, looked to the
democratic side for sympathy and
applause and received both.
Mr.. Sherley, one Of the demoera-
tic leaders of the house, was accor-
ded an ovation by the republican
members. When it came to voting
the republicans generally supported
the fortifcation of the canal and the
democrats opposed it.
The detection Of about 20 repub-
1icans from the general policy Of for
tl7cation was offset by a similar de-
fecl5on on the democratic side in
favor of fortifcation
Several democrats VINO spoke and
voted against the fortifcation said
they were in favor of fortifying the
canal aftel it was completed, but
they did net think that the work
had progres sed far enough to do SO
at this time.

opportunities in eastern papers and to
concentrate immigration at Omaha
and let it be diverted into the sub
scribing territory.
Montana, Washington and Oregon
did not accept the invitation to join
this organization for the reason that it
was believed the center to which il
was proposed to concentrate the
stream Of settlers was too far south
and would result in the greater por-
tjon Of the people being sent into the
states Immediately west Of the city Of
Omaha to the detriment Of the ones
further to the northwest.
From the Omaha show Mr.. Taagaf-
den went to Minneapolis and ST. Paul
to help promote a plan for the co-ope-
rative development for the real north
west. The decision at the Hill dinner
was that the movement for a north
western development league should be
pushed forward, the states interested
to be Minnesota, the Dakotas, Monta-
na, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
The plan is to have Governor Norris

Extra Session Very Probable


Washington, Feb. 25. So proba-
BILE is it that an extra session OF con-
gress will be necessary to get action
on tbs Canadian reciprocity agree
ment that President Taft has fixed
April as the date on which such q
session may be called.
The date was selected after con-
sultation with Champ Clark, who
will be speaker Of the next house,
and Representative Underwood OF
Alabama, who will be chairman Of
the ways and means committee,
which will have charge Of and re.
port the reciprocity bill in the
house.
The president had intended to
convene the extra session at an ear
.Iier date, but Representatives Clark
and Underwood told him they de-
sired a months time after the pres
ent congress adiourns in which to
map out democratic plans for the
next session.
There was no change IN the situa-
ton in the senate today regarding
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
and the leaders see no hope Of

This action was taken as result of
remarks alleged TO have been made by

that apparently the chief business of the

Faso, Tex, May 27.-Manv federal Of
falls, Including iefes politico, have
been killed, scores of others have been
placed in Jail, stores have been looted
and burned and hundreds of people on
the verge of starvation as the result
of reign of terror waged in the state
of Durango and southern chihuahua
by bandits and insurrectos, who heard
nothing of the peace agreement
The entire state of Durango, with
its capital, city of $4,000 population,
is at the mercy of the rowing bands,
who have unseated all the regularly
constituted authorities, Refugees from
southern Chihuahua also report the
towns in disorder The worst feature is
that all railroad communication has
been cut for weeks and the interior,
being agricultural region, is
without food.
Chaos in. Mining Camps.
The mining camps of Guanacevi,
state of Durango, is in chaos. The
first act of the insurrectos after cap
turing the town was to place the Off
cials in jail. Stores were then looted
and government documents burned,
Toman Urbin. who claims to be the
insurrecto commander of the southern
zone, was informed that Madero was
perfecting peace plans. He answered
he would dictate the peace terms for
his territory, and the looting continued
In the town of Villa Escobedo, a
few miles south Of here, the mnnici-
pal buildings were burned, all the resi-
dents having fled TO the mountains.
A previous report that all govern
ment and military officials in the town
Of Guadalupe v Calvo were killed, has
been confirmed. Shortly after the
telegraph operator at JimincZ. the
chief city between Torreon and Chi
huahua, reported that town was being
attacked, the telegraph wires were cut,
indicating the place had been taken.
Scarcity of food.
There is great scarcity of food in
this city. 1t is likely that the 300
foreigners, mostly Americans, will
leave in a body overland in wagons.
The federal troops are preparing to
evacuate with view TO leaving the
town to the insurrectos.
People who come in from the small
towns report that the jcfes politico
generally have been killed. as they
were looked upon as the petty despots,
Altogether the situation In the IN
terror is serious. and Will become worse
unless some news of an official and
definite character Is brought in that
will effectually stop hostilities.
