MOUNTAIN SHEEP
 GREAT JUMPERS

oolum bia Gardens, Butte's pleasure park has added to its geological de- partment two mountain sheep, believed to be the only two specimens in cap- tlvity. The mountain sheep are the wisest. wariest and widest of animals that inhabit the cragged ranges and few of this species have ever been can tured alive.
 An interesting story is told of the capture, for 1t was not done in a day. For three days and three nights, with out sleep and with rests that were but sporadic, N. H. Pearl and W. J. Cav anaugh trailed their quarry. This was the end of a three weeks chase. At last they caught these widest of wild things. They are rams, little more than two weeks old, yet able to outrun the average horse.
 The men carried the kicking, squirm- ing, fighting lambs 20 miles over ridge and through valley to Midvale, the eastern entrance to the Glacier Ma tional park, says the Butte, Mont, cor respondent of the New York Sun. Mir. Pearl says:
 The sheep were caught in the con tinental divide near Butbank Pass. at an elevation of between 5000 and 5000 feet. They were about a week old. l think. We had been at it three weeks before we had our chance. These noun tain sheep are much wiser than moun- tain goats.
 They know every rock in the hills, and the slightest disturbance sends them bounding off. Many times have we looked at a band of sheep at long distance through field glasses. We would lie perfectly still behind the rocks. but never was it more than a few minutes until some eve would spy on us and give warning.
 You have no idea from what heights a mountain goat can leap" said Ranger Cavanaugh. "I've seen them jump from the dizziest places and alight with all four feet punched, as light as a cat. Never have I seen one injured. These big horn sheep are the greatest leapers in the world"

SUFFRAGE WINS
 IN MASSACHUSETTS

Boston. March 26.-By action of the house today, the legislature for the first time in its history has voted in favor Of referring to the people the question of granting suffrage to women. The vote in the house was 16S to 39 on a resolution which already had been favorably acted on by the senate, providing for an amend ment to the constitution striking the word male" from the qualifications for voters. The measure must receive favor able action in the legislature next year before 1t may go to the people for decisive vote. Should it pass the next legislature the voters would have an opportunity to act on the woman suffrage question at the state election of 1915.
 The suffragists hailed today's action as a victory, while anti-suffragist leaders said it had been taken with their tacit consent, to allow the matter to go before the people.

is involved on both sides. If there is a real question of honor here it is that or Great Britain seeking to drive q hard bargsin with this administration Our honor in this matter is above sus- picion. Great Britan's is open to at- tack"
 "The question of honor involved. ' replied Ropresentativ tive Flood, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, "is not that of Great Britain. But it is a question of our living up to a con- tract we haze made and consented to-"
 In the Senate the days activity on the toll question was limited to the introduc- tion Of resolution proposed by Senator Lewis. This would provide that the amount and payment of tolls to be as- sessed equally on ships of all nations shall be regulated jointly by the secre- taries of war and the treasury, with the approval of the President" This, it was pointed out, would avoid the direct re- linquishing of the repea. 10 discriminate in favor of American ships under the treaties
 The resolution went over until tomor- row, when Senator Owen is expected to speak in support of the Presidents posi- tion on the tolls question.
 Champ Clark's statement aroused wide- spread discussion among both factions The Presidents supporyers immediately issued statements in reply. Representa- tive Sherley of Kentucky said
 Nothing Unusual
 There is nothing in the rule that is unusual. It provides for three hours de- bate on the rule and 20 hours on the bill In a body the size of the House, with the many things coming before fl is abso- lutely essential to have a rule cloture.
 The nature of the rule has been known for days. It Is surprising to say the least that the speaker should have seen fit to attack the rule only after it was offered and the lines of battle drawn. We who are supporting a democratic President and democratic administration in up- hclding the nations honor will not be de- tered the first time he has seen fit to show his true colors in opposition to the measure and to the democra tic party"
 Representative Henry of Texas, chair mar Of the rules committee, issued a statement attacking the speaker for op- posing the rule at this late hour He said: Of course, any sensible man knows that he is fixing to jump squarely into the camp of the Presidents enemies Instead of opposing rules, non-essentials in this great conflict, he should reveal his real sympathies and march boldly over to the standard Of the railroad and ship monopoly
 President Wilson was at the executive offices for an hour tonight. A copy of the speakers statement was shown to him but he made no comment for publica- ton.
