Great Rainmaker Melbourne Sells Out His Secret to Kansas Cap- italists—General News. A story comes from San Francisco to the effect that the Farmers' alli- ance candidate for president will not be a farmer at all, but a lawyer. In addition to being a lawyer he is a railroad president, a railroad jobber and a multi -millionaire. His name is Leland Stanford, and he is an amia- ble old fellow, who sits in the senate from the state of California and nurses a delusion that he is a states- man. In his fertile brain some of the wildest financial schemes of the century have been propagated. If Stanford's managers could have ex- acted their own way about matters they would first secure for him the alliance nomination and then urge his claims upon the republican na- tional convention as a sure road to republican victory. This is no idle talk, but embraces a scheme that is in active working order throughout the United States. There arc able and skillful politicians who are only too anxious to serve the senator --so long as he foots the bills. Senator Stanford will not pose as a seeker after the nomination. He is too astute for that, and has too much pride to wish to appear before the country in the attitude of a rejected candidate. He will cause his boom to be worked up from the other end. He wants the thing to come to hint in the guise of a mighty uprising of the farmers of America in his behalf. If they fail to come shouting, the senator will then say he was never a candidate nor indulged the dream of being one. But. he is dreaming of it both by day and by night all the same. It will be no fault of Senator Stanford nor of his millions if he is not the candi- date of the grangees for president in 1892. Diming Mr. Melbourne's stay in Goodland, Kansas, after nitwit argu- ment and work, a contract was entered into between Mr. Melbourne and a newly -organized company, whereby the latter was to be told the secret, furnished with ft machine and allowed to operate in any part of the country. The company has a capital stock of $100,000, which is divided into 1,000 shares of $100 each. The home office will be at Goodland. The test sup- posed to have been made by Mel- bourne, was made by E. F. Murphy, president of the company, and 0. H. Smith, under Melbourne's instruc- tion. The same gentlemen made an- other test, commencing in the morn- ing at 3 o'clock. The sky was per- fectly clear at the time, but by noon they had the same kind of clouds that Melbourne had made, and about 6 o'clock a slight shower fell for few minutes and would no doubt have turned into a heavy rain had not a stiff breeze sprang up from the north- west and drove the clouds away. However, there was rain at Edson and Shermanville. Mr. Murphy says now that the process has been ex- plained to him he can readily see why Melbourne made a failure of his tests here, and that it was easily seen that the cold nights and high winds were the cause. He states there is no question of the success of the method in warm, still weather, and especially when the nights are warm. The charter of the company was filed at Topeka by A. B. Montgomery. The profits of the company will accrue from contracts made to produce rain in different localities, charging so much for a rain, and it is their ex- pectation to make a big thing out of it. The members of the company are silent on the terms they have agreed on with Melbourne. The ex- periments cost between $50 and $75. On account of the cold nights here the company intends to make a test in the south. The first test will probably be made in the Indian terri- tory, and then they will go to Galves- ton, Texas. Monsignor O'Brien, domestic pre- late of the pope, who brought the berette to Cardinal Taschereau, is now on a visit to Montreal. In a talk concerning the published interviews with an eminent cardinal at Rome, he said that he is certain that the pope has no intention at present of leaving Rome. The Italian government had declared the Vatican government property and the pope an Italian sub- a series of soeial enteetainments to sralirata Building. Otrposite Townslte Co. ject, but Monsignor O'Brien did not be given under the atiephve tofethte drive matters to extremes. tie pope would certainly not leave Rome till he was driven out, and at present there seems to be no prospect of such a contingency. The intention of the late Samuel J. Tilden to found a great library in New York has been defeated by a de- cision of the supreme court. This decision probably forever abrogates the philanthropic purpose of the dead statesman, and deprives New York of one of the most important bequests that over was bestowed upon it. By the burning of the steamer Oliver Bierne at Milliken's Bend landing, on the Mississippi, twenty lives were lost. Haulan, the oarsman, has defeated the world's record three seconds. Saratoga gets the National Educa- tional Association convention by a vote of three to two of the executive committee. Eastern railroads and influence were against any western point, and Helena mourns. The Olympic club, of Now Orleans, offers $25,000 for the Slavin-Sullivan contest for March, also a solid gold pitcher, emblematic of the world's supremacy. One hundred and sixty-three con- victs were released at Briceville and 143 at Coal creek, Tenn., by rioting miners. It is estimated that. the total loss of life, by the earthquake in Japan, may be over ten thousand. There have been many wrecks about the island of Hondo as a consequence of the dis- turbance. Recent storms in the Dakotas have caused heavy losses of stock on the ranges, and especially of sheep. Cat- tle are now scattered from the Mani- toba boundary to the South Dakota line. Threshing is delayed. The west -bound train of the Great North- ern, which should have arrived, was, on the 31st ult., •Z2 hours late. The delay was due to a heavy snow storm throughout North Dakota. Snow in some of the cuts drifted to a depth of sixteen feet. P. A. Carter, minister to the United States front Hawaii, died at Now York. Fire partly destroyed the Prince of Wales' London home. The total amount of the damage is estimated at siti,(Xx). The prince and family were absent at the time. It ie sup- posed the fire 'was caused by it spark from a flee which had smouldered during the night. At Panama a naked telephone wire was detached by some street Arabs so that it hung from its support to Lime ground, trailing over certain wires front the electric light plant. A police officer commenced to haul it in. The act of drawing caused it to cut through the rubber insulation of the electric light wire. The officer re- ceived a shock which rendered him unconscious. A great crowd gathered, and before the electric light company could be notified to shut off the cur- rent, a horse hitched to a car was driven over the wire and killed. The cabman, attempting to extricate his animal from the harness, thinking he had simply fallen, was struck on the forehead by the swinging wire, which bit through his skull almost to the ears and there remained. The elec- tric fluid literally filled the man's head and in a moment his brain and eyes were completely incinerated. The flesh and skin smoked and sizzled until they were also reduced almost to ashes. All this while sparks play- ed about his head in an awful fire, the oyes actually -glowing- No other casualties occurred. The Caledonian Dance. The Scotchmen of the Flathead valley recently formed a Caledonian club. The first entertainment was given last Friday night and it was a grand success. Kalispell, having no hall, the Scots utilized one of the empty store buildings, and although the room was small, the large crowd nevertheless enjoyed the occasion. It would be difficult to find in this broad land a more hospitable people than the members of the Caledonian club, and the managers made every person feel that he was indeed welcome. Dancing was, of course, the feature, but the programme was enlivened by vocal music, recitations and the ever- present, soul -stirring bagpipes. The few Scotch dances were especially enjoyed by the participants and ob- servers. The affair was most ably conducted, and the Scots of Flathead valley demonstrated their ability to entertain friends in a most delightful manner. May the Caledonian club prosper and its membership increase with every meeting. Last Friday's ball was the first of CHILIANS HATE US. Nevertheless They Will Have to Come to Time When Our Navy Reaches the Scene. Their Hatred Dates Way Back to the Time of the First Califor- nia Gold Discoveries. Naval officers at Washington are confident. that the dispute with Chili can only be settled by a display of force by this government. The talk about available vessels and the possi- bility of assembling a sufficient fleet before Valparaiso to compel Chilian respect, is animated among naval men, and officers are beginning to think of active duty on board ship. Secretary Tracy will, no doubt, send the Chicago and the Newark after the Yorktown and the Boston, which have started for Valparaiso, and later on will support the vessels already under orders for Chili by others, including., if necessary, the ships of the North Atlantic squadron, now almost ready for sail. Admiral Gherardi has un- officially suggested to the navy de- partment that he be ordered to sail for Valparaiso at once with the Phil- adelphia and the Concord. It seems probable that this suggestion will be acted upon, though no orders have yet been issued. The presence of the United States fleet would probably bring to Valpa- raiso a largo fleet of vessels of the British navy. Briti.sh interests in Chili are large, and it is assumed that any demonstration by the United States would be watched with con- cern by the British fleet, and that if a determination to shell the city was reached by this government, the lives and property of the subjects of Great Britain would have to be con- sidered. The suggestion of British intervention is not likely, however, to deter the United States from follow- ing a course that will compel respect for our flag and an expression of re- gret for taking the lives of mee wear- ing the uniform of the United States. If Groat Britain is influential in Chili it is believed that its power could be exercised beneficially to bring the Chilian authorities to their senses. The goverinnent cannot take any ii - !mediate action at Valparaiso to en- force Re demand. The Baltimore alone would not be equal to the task of compelling Chili to make a speedy and satisfactory answer. Several weeks must pass be- fore the fleet can be greatly increased. The interim may be used to reach an amicable settlement, and it is possible that it will be employed by Chili in preparation for sustaining its attitude uf defiance and apparent hostility. Secretary Tracy received the fol- lowing dispatch from Capt. Schley, at Valparaiso: \Petty Officer Johnson, in whose arms Riggin was killed, de- clared the act was done by the police guard. Apprentice Williams reports that he was arrested by mounted policemen, who placed catgut nippers around his wrists and started their horses on a gallop, throwing him 'down. Coal -heaver McWilliams was taken to prison with catgut nippers around his wrists and a lasso around his neck. He was bitten in the arm after his arrest. Coal -heaver Quigley, while trying to escape from the mob, was struck with a sword by a police officer. Apprentice Talbott was ar- rested and on the way to prison was struck repeatedly by (ho police. Petty Officer Hamilton was dangerously wounded and while unconscious was literally dragged to prism'. One of my people who was trying to make hint comfortable was threatened with the butt of a musket and made to desist. The prisoners were examined secretly, the presence of an officer sent by me to the court being refused. Before their discharge the men were required to sign a paper. Reinhart asked a court official the moaning of this paper. He was informed that it was a mere form stating that the signer was not engaged in the trouble. Two of my men are dead, three dan- gerously wounded and about fifteen slightly injured. The surgeons be- lieve the wounded are out of danger. Ramon Estuvillo. a native Califor- niau, gives this reason for Chili's en- mity toward the United States: \The people of Spanish blood are pretty much alike and I think I understand the Chilian situation better than a man of English descent naturally would. The Chilians hate Americans, not on account of the Itata incident or any recent occurrence. Those in- ciderts merely aggravated the feeling which. thtivir fate Wreak 4.4e Alsa, elisetattazy of gold in Californie. There was at great demand for provisions in San Francisco then, California not being the great wheat producing state it is to -day, and flour was imported from Chili in large quantities. This brought San Francisco and Valparaiso into close communication and thousands of Chilians went to the newly dis- covered gold fields. It was just after the Mexican war, as a result of which there was a bitter feeling. The natives looked upon the immigrants as invaders. Numbers of natives be- came outlaws, and many murders and robberies wore committed. A num- ber of Chilians swore murdered and robbed by American miners and race hostilities became so intense that many Chaim miners returned to their own land. They took with them the story of their inhospitable reception and the nation has smarted under what it deemed wrongs to its sub- jects, ever since. The average Chili - an hates an American bitterly and this is one reason for it.\ A BOUT T E STATE. The Sullivan-Mayhan fight at Mis- soula lasted but five rounds, for at the call or the sixth Mayhan was till- able to respcnel. Edward Barnum was arrested in Great Falls by Postoffice Inspector Watkins, charged with robbing the United States mails at Mann, a small town about thirty miles southeast of that city. A fatal accident occurred at the Parrot mine, in Butte, by which Den- nis Sullivan lost his life. Giant powder did the work. Four others were hurt. After the experience of Henry Clark and \Charlie\ Miller, Helena thought that, footpads would give her a wide berth, but another bold highwayman held up John J. Wall, an employe of the American Express company, and relieved him of $.65. The jury in the Clark highway robbery case, at Helena, found the defendant guilty of holding up Robt. Ray and taking his silver watch from hint at the point of a gun a few hours after Policeman Grogan was shot, on October 8. Judge Hunt will pass sentence.. upon Clark within a week. The impression is that he will get about 25 years at Deer Dodge. He may be trim - . for the two other crimes, holding up Conductor Richardson, and attempting to murder Officer G rogan Henry Hurley, a well-known Butte miner, fell through a floor in the Anaconda mine at the 800 -foot level and was instantly killed by the break- ing of his ilea. Re was 35 years old and had lived in Butte for many years. It has been discovered that James Watson, the young man for whom his mother has been searching all over Montana, died at the Sisters' hospital in Anaconda, January 17, of pneumonia. Godfrey Demers, who shot and killed j. R. Dilworth near Red Lodge last summer, and for which he was tried at Livingston, was acquitted. Demers claimed that the killing was done in self-defense. Joseph Soyear, all Austrian, was accidentally killed at Great Falls by the caving of the banks of a water ditch in which he was working. At Philipsburg an Italian wood and coal hauler, named Frank Colstine, was violently thrown from his wagon amid killed. PERSONS OF NOTE. Lafeadio Hearn, the author, is teaching in a Japanese college in the interior of the island, where a white man is seldom seen. He has married a Japanese woman and writes to a friend that he is lost forever to west- ern civilization. Says Richard Blackmoro, the Eng- lish novelist: \Anything more ab- surd than our novelistic portrait of the 'Yankee' could scarcely be pro- duced. I know many American gen tlemen; not one of them differs from us, except that—as a rule—they are more intelligent.\ John W. Bookwalter, the million- aire manufacturer of Springfield, 0., has been superintending arrange - meats for building an agricultural village on his Nebraska tract, 60,000 acres. He is making arrangements for a tour of eastern Russia. He be- lieves that Russia will be at war be- fore a great while, and he wants to look over the country before that time comes. Leander Richardson, the editor of the Dramatic Netco, is one of the most prominent figures on upper Broadway in the evening. He is 6 feet 3 inches in height and weighs 280 pounds. Richardson is one of the few men who never forget or desert a friend in trouble. His hatred ot.onninics is as bitter as hi regard for hisiriellds is sq.:mg. BUSINESS MEN WILL ( FIND THE COLUMBIAN'S JOB PRINTING OFFICE EQUIPPED NEW STYLES O ; U T I Y P P P E E FOR GOOD . 0 W 1 A GOOD BOY NOW. Queen Victoria's Eldest Turns Over a New Leaf as H is Fiftieth Birthday Draws Near. Her Second Son, the Duke of Edin- burgh, Gets Himself Disliked -- Royalty's Path Rough. The Prince of Wales will celebrate his 50th birthday November 9. There is to be a great family gathering at Sandringham, and according to pres- ent indications the mansion swill not be largo enough to hold the presents of which the prince will be the hap- py recipient. Kaiser Wilhelm's gift is said to be worth 100,000 marks, and it will be presented by Prince Henry, of Prussia—an arrangement probably intended to convince the world that uncle and nephew are now the best of friends. The Prince of Wales is really in some respects a hardly used man. He has been on his very best behavior since the baccarat scandal, opening schools and churches and charitable institutions by the dozens, making pretty, inoffensive speeches, and generally resuming the role of \Albert Edward the Good.\ For in- stance, he attended the celebration of the centenary of the London Veter- inary college, and favored the cone pails- with some harmless platitudes about dogs and horses being the friends of man, and so on. Everybody thought ho acquitted himself with great credit, but the newspapers give space to a letter from some fierce anti -vivisectionist who denounces the prince as a hypo- crite, because, forsooth. he presided a couple of year; ago over a meeting in honor of Pasteur, \who caused hun- dreds of dogs to die in agonies of rabies,\ and sometime afterward \al- lowed his honored mother to receive at Osborne, without a word of warn- ing, such vivisectors as Monsieur Chauveau, who has sawn across the backbones of 80 living horses and asses.\ The prince may be excused for thinking that it is very hard to please some people, and possibly, for regretting that there io evidently one living ass whose backbone has not been operated upon. . Queen Victoria's second son, the Duke of Edinburgh, who is married to the czar's sister, is the most un- popular of the English princes. It is almost a misnomer to call him an Englishman for, although an admiral in the British navy, he speaks with a strong German accent and spends as much time as he can in Coburg, to the dukedom of which he is heir. He is notoriously of a parsimonious dis- position, and although rich, his name rarely figures in the lists of charita- ble subscriptions. He is a first-rate musician, however, is a member of the Royal Orchestral society, and plays the fiddle well. During the winter musical season anyone by paying for admission to Albert hall may enjoy the felicity of seeing the royal duke scraping away in the midst of a crowd of quite or- dinary fiddlers, a sight which is not edifying in the eyes of ultra -loyalists. The duke being about to visit Bristol in his private character as a musician, to play his beloved fiddle at a public concert in that ancieut city, and as some twenty years ago Bristol dis- graced itself by hissilig the Prince of Wales when he attended a local agri- cultural show, the loyalists deter- mined to expiate the former misdeed NUMBER 29: stauces, would have found a graceful excuse for canceling the visit and de- clining the proffered honor. His brother, however, has shown that he is not afflicted with such absurd scruples. Ho visited Bristol and was invested with the honor of citizen- ship in the presence of a carefully selected audience of men and women of guaranteed loyalty. No unto- ward incident marred the proceed- ings, either at the presentation meet- ing or at the concert, at which the duke led -the orchestra in the per- formance of Haydn's \Creation.\ WORTH READING.

A committee of protest was formed, meetings were held, and resolutions passed denouncing the local servility and the fiddling duke with almost equal vehemence. One meeting form- ally condemned \those who would sully by their servile conduct the city honor by conferring the freedom on an unworthy subject,\ and at another this motion was passed impiously and a copy ordered sent to the duke: \That the bestowal of such an honor for hereditary reasons marks the servility of those who confer it, makes such an honor meaningless, tends to perpetuate unjust privileges, and does incalculable injury to the grow- ing democracy.\ Despite the popular clamor, the town council passed a resolution to confer the freedom upon the duke, en- tertaining him at 'vie luncheon. at talk of en - The and there was even Prino2 of Rifles and Shotguns.
