THE MADISONIAN, VIRGINIA CITY, MONTANA. FRIDAY. MAY 28, 1886. MEMORIAL DAY. - THE MADISONIAN. • MOMS BAKER, lbliter and Proprietor. flitIDAY. NAY SS. 18811. lt was very thoughtful of Monsieur Papamichalopoulos to decline the task of forming a new Greek ministry. It may save the eternal soul of telegraph editors and proof readers who have sur- vived the horrors of the Turco -Russian war. Sam Jones has declined an offer of $330 a night for 100 :lectures, on the ground that \when I go on the lecture platform I lose my grip upon the people as an evangelist,\ and he defines his work as an attempt \to get up some sweet now and now, instead of so much sweet bye and bye.\ At a mee ting of New York anarchists Wednesday night a resolution was passed denouncing the legislature for authorizing the appointment of 300 ad- ditional policemen for the metropolis. The intense hatred that the red -flag poltroons have for the police in this country is doing much to increase the high regard of the public for these of- ficers of the law. Item for the little folks -The Whole- sale Confectioners' association of the United States in national convention assembled have adopted a resolution offering \a reward of $100 for evidence that will enable them to convict any person of adulterating confectionery with poisonous or injurious substances.\ The association will assume the cost and responsibility of prosecuting the offender. \Look at New York,\ exclaims a Kan- sas City boomer, \perched on a measly little island, away off there on the sea- coast ! What chance is there for New York to become the future great? On the other hand, look at Kansas City, basking in the center of God's bound- less prairie, with nobody within hun- dreds of miles to monkey with her in- terests, and no speck in her horizon except dirty little St. Louis ! Could na- ture have done more for our metropolis? No, never ! 'Rah for Kansas City. -Ex. Speaking of Dr. Elliott Cunes, the or- nithologist and theosophist, who is fig- uring just now in the divorce courts, a Washington correspondent says : \For several years he was a pronounced ad- vocate of agnosti;ism.\ It is easy enough to conceive of a man's advocacy of a belief, but how can a man who simply declares that he does not know whether the belief of other people is well or ill founded, consistently be an advocate of anything. To speak of ad- vocating agnosticism is like speaking of coloring a thing white. This is one of the latest utterances of the Salt Lake Tribune, which seldom misses an opportunity to say a good word for Montana : A region that sup- plies the world w i th $23,000,000 annually in gold, silver, and copper, and also sends away 20,000 car loads of beef, is a good deal of a country. It ought to have statehood. The people are abun- dantly able to support a state govern- ment ; they are an intelligent and loyal people and there is no reason why they should kept in a territorial condition especially when it is manifest tha t the present is but an indication of the glory that is to come to that territory with full fruition. 1 he mines are wonderful, while the ranges have no equals any- where in the United States. If all flesh is grass there is enoug s ti in Montana to feed a dozen states. A little \Primrose League\ paper published in Dumfries, Scotland, gives a novel glimpse into the ways of tramps. There is one in the neighborhood, it seems, who, with his wife and family, have been \living on the baby\ for the last three weeks. They have not slain and eaten it. That would be killing the goose that lays the golden egg. This is what they do, in the words of the father : \We just gets 'im christ- ened at all the towns we passes, and then, you see, parson makes us all com- fortable with sumrnat to eat an' money for beds. On days awful bad we had to do 'im twice.\ This is the exception to the rule that the \unemployed\ are in sorest distress when they are par- ents. But it is not every tramp who deserves, so thoroughly as this one, to have a baby. In answer to the question, \what proportion of Mormons in Idaho are polygamists,\ the assistant U. S. attor- ney says that in several settlements he knows nearly all of them are, and that a very large proportion of the Mormons in Idaho are polygamists. Over one hundred indictments are now standing against Mormons in the third district, and the assistant U. S. attorney says that if the marshal had the means to carry forward prosecutions two hun- dred more indictments could easily be had. This is rather contrary to the impression held out by the Mormons that only a few of them are in polyga- my. We have no means of knowing the number of Mormons in the terri- tory, but judging from the number of arrests made and the number of Mor- mons in hiding, there is no doubt but that a large proportion of them are liv- ing in polygamy in violation of law. - Idaho Statesman. It has been the impression that the various projects to admit Dakota, or a portion of it, as a state would be per- mitted to slumber on the table of the house committee on territories. Should this be the case it will not be for lack of the most untiring and persistent ef- fort on the part of the advocates of ad- mission. All the influence that the re- publicans can bring to bear personally and politically has been ceaselessly ex- erted in favor of action, and it is ru- mored that some of the house demo- crats have been won over to the point of consenting that the house shall at least be given the opportunity to vote upon the question. From a political point of view it is a matter of almost vital importance to the republicans, for the admission of Dakota would give them with absolute certainty two sena- tors and three electoral votes in the next presidential election. It is not in the least impossible that these votes might determine both the presidential election and the complexion of the sen- ate after 1887 or 1889. The argument used with the democratic members, whose aid it is hoped to secure, is that as Dakota has the requisite population for a state it is neither just nor right to keep her out. Such an argument really should not have any weight, for the reason that it is only the politicians who clamor for admission, the mass of the people of the territory, unlike the people of Montana, caring nothing about it, as the only change it would make in their condition would be to impose the burdens of a state govern- ment upon them. ....mar • ••••••••••• Boycotts and boycotters are faring Anil- POlygailly Amendaneut. badly at the hands of the law, and pub- Washington, May 21. -The house lic opinion is sustaining the action.

Fourth -Nothing in the constitution nor in this article shall be construed to deny to any state the exclusive power subject to the provisions of this article to make and enforce all laws concern- ing marriage and divorce within its jur- isdiction or to vest in the United States any power respecting the same within any state. The amendment to the constitution proposed by the committee, was intend- ed to define the crimes of polygamy and the like, as treason, defined by the con- stitution itself, so that no element in the definition of the offence would be left. to congressional action. Having defined crime, lest it should continue or be revised in the new state when it ceased to be a territory, the amendment gives congress power to punish the crime created hy this article, and to the courts of the United States power to try it. Then in order to prevent any inference in favor of the power of con- gress to interfere in the general law of each state as to marriage and divorce the amendment further provides that no construction‘ shall be given to it which would deny to each state the ex- clusive power to regulate that class of questions or to give any such power to congress. The amendment, therefore, while serving as a remedy for crime even in the states themselves, is entirely conservative of the power of the state over important domestic relations of family. The amendment was framed for the purpose of throwing the weight of the constitution itself against polyg- amy, as the present constitution makes it essentiai that every state that comes into the Union as well as those already in it shall be republican in form of gov- ernment and monogamists as to their social life. Judge Tucker, chairman of the judi- ciary committee, said to an associated press reporter that the committee would report the amendment on Monday and will then probably take up the Edmunds Utah bill. The sub -committee have considered the Edmunds bill and will submit their views to the committee of the whole which will meet thereafter as often as practicable. The Edmends bill will be very greatly modified, but I am not prepared to say until the action of the full committee in what respect. I will say, however, that it will not be in any way materially to change the policy of the government in reference to polygamy, but an effort will be made while condemning the crime of polyga- my, to do so in consistency with the constitutional law and with respect to the liberties of the people affected. Judge Tucker further said that he had given the amendment thorough and mature consideration. The sub- committee and then the full committee had agreed to it after full consideration and it had met with general approval from perhaps fifty members of congress to whom it had been shown and upon whose judgment he could rely. fle in- tended to show and secure a speedy and thorough consideration for it by congress. BY 'IIIE GOVERA011t. A Proclamation of Cattle Quarantine Territory of Montana, Executive De- partment. By his excellency the governor -a proclamation : WHEREAS, By virtue of, and pursuant to an act of the legislative assembly of the Territory of Montana, entitled \an act to suppress and prevent the dissem- ination of contagious and infectious diseases among domestic animals and Texas cattle,\ approved March 10, A. D., 1885, it is my duty when I shall have reason to believe that any contagious and infectious disease has become epi- demic in certain localities, by proclama- tion to schedule such localities and pro- hibit the importation from them of any live stock into this territory, except under such restrictions as I, after con- sultation with the Territorial Veteri- nary Surgeon, may deem proper; and WHEREAS, I have reason to believe upon the representation of the board of stock commissioners and the terri- torial veterinary surgeon that condi- tions exist which render domestic ani- mals and Texas cattle in any and all of the counties of the following named states and territories, viz : New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Vir- ginia and Texas, liable to convey dis- ease. Now, therefore, I, Samuel T. Hauser, governor of the Territory of Montana, by virtue of the authority conferred up- on me by said statute and pursusnt to the terms thereof, do hereby schedule the localities hereinbefore named, and I do hereby strictly forbid the importa- tion iuto this territory of any cattle whatsoever which have been brought from any portion of said scheduled lo- calities, or any one of them, except up- on certificate of the territorial veteri- nary surgeon that such cattle have been subjected to a quarantine of ninety (lays. And I do hereby further forbid the importation into this territory of any and all cattle driven or shipped from any other state, territory or country, unless the same shall be accompanied by a certificate of health, given by the veterinary surgeon of said state, terri- tory or country, or his regularly ap- pointed and authorized deputy, who shall have carefully examined all such cattle immediately prior to the giving of such certificate. And all such cattle shall be examined at such station or stations as shall be designated by the territorial veterinary surgeon. And I do hereby warn all persons, corporations and companies whomso- ever, not in any manner to violate or attempt to violate the prohibition here- in contained in said act. And I do hereby direct all sheriffs, constables, stock inspectors and other peace officers within this territory, to keep strict watch, and to be vigilant and see to it that all the commands of this my proclamation are obeyed and respected. and to arrest any and all per- sons violating the same; and I further direct all such officers to report to me, without delay, all such violations of this proclamation. In testimony whereof, I have hereun- to set my hand and caused the seal of the Territory of Montana to be attached at the city of Helena, the capital of said territory, this nineteenth day of May, A. D., 1886. By the governor, Attest, WM. B. WEBB, secretary of Montana. GREAT GUNS AND LITTLE FISHEs! Must Re Once More Lick the British? Baddeck, C. B., May 22. -On his re- turn, Consul General Phelan said that the law under which permits are grant- ed dates prior to 1830, but in 1830 Presi- dent Andrew Jackson issued a procla- mation granting certain commercial rights to the English vessels, and a similar proclamation was issued by the ministers in power at that time in Great Britain. The British proclama- tion was in the same spirit as that is- sued by President Jackson, and it is claimed that a joint action of the two governments secured to all vessels sail- ing under the United states flag the same rights as those enjoyed by En- glish vessels in parts of the colonies, subject, of course, to customs law. It is understood that this will be the ar- gument used by Consul Phelan throughout the progress of the cases of seizure. It is thought that he will be able to prove the right of American ves- sels to procure bait in British waters. It is not yet decided whether the seized vessels will be brought to Baddeck. Ottawa, Ont., May 22 -The govern- ment has received an official report from Captain Scott of the Lansdowne, of the seizure of the Adams. It con- firms in every respect the previous ad - vices recei ved by telegraph. The fact appears to be that the vessel, even if he proved that she was buying bait. cannot, under the existing laws be held answerable for such controvention, as the international agreement law pro- viding for the seizure of foreign vessels for certain offenses is so worded that buying bait is not an offense under it. Mitchell, ex -minister of marine and fisheries, who prepared legislation, un- der which the seizure was probably made, purposely omitted buying of bait from the list of offenses, believing that bait should be regarded as an article of commerce. Buying bait as a commer- cial transaction, the seizure of the Ad- ams seemed to have caused the govern- ment to realize and recognize the weak points of the law under which it was made by the bill amending that law which was hurried through the com- mons, having passed the third reading yesterday. It will probably pass the senate and become a law within a week. Portland, May 22. -The excitement in regard to the fishery troubles is unabat- ed. The board of trade and city gov- ernment meetings have not yet been called but if they are much longer de- layed there will be a mass meeting at the city hall by fishermen for a settle- ment of the questions in dispute, as a matter of bread and butter, but not a man has expressed a desire to see a commission appointed or to have the treaty renewed. There is bitter talk in regard to the Canadian schooner Alert, now loading with bait. It is believed that there are other schooners of the same character and on the same errand. They will not be very warmly received here. Toronto, May 22. -Referring to the report that the American fishing schoon- er, Augusta Herrick, had sailed from Boston for the fishing grounds armed with cannon and determined to resist should any Canadian vessel attempt to seize her. the Globe says : This may prove to be a very serious matter. The United States government neglected its duty when it allowed this vessel to arm in one of its ports and to proceed when armed to the waters in which no vessel honestly pursuing a legitimate business requires such an armament. If permis- sion was obtained from the government its responsibility is all the greater. Should this vessel attempt a forcible resistance when a British or Canadian cruiser, duly commissioned, attempts to seize it in Canadian waters on a charge of acted illegally, it may be treated as a pirate. To allow its ves- sels to go armed to prespass upon its neighboring territory, is unworthy of the United States, especially of her people. Canada will not be deterred by any dauger of a possible collision and its possible consequences from as- serting its rights and in favoring the righ t. Bar Harbor, Maine, May 22.-A spe- cial to the Herald says : James G. Blaine last evening said : \The fisher- ies question resolves itself to a matter of fact, whether the fishermen of the United States ought to have the priv- ilege of fishing on any portion of' the coast and adjacent islands. The gov- erment of the United States should de- mand a return to the terms of the treaty of 1783. When peace and separation between the mother country and the successful rebellious colonies were ar- ranged and legitimatized the treaty gave to the United States the same rights and rivileges as regards the fish- eries as residents of colonies enjoyed, previous to the Revolutionary war. a These rights enabled citizens of the Dynamite Bombs.

F., May 20. -St. George's Bay, on the west coast of New Found - land, telegraphs the following extraor- dinary story : A French vessel arrived here yester- day from St. Maio, bound to Port au Choix. She came for the purpose of landing Miss Louise Journeaux, who was picked up in an open boat at sea about twenty miles off the Island of Jersey. The lady with a gentleman named Ferne, went boating on Sunday evening, April 8. Her companion let one oar slip, and in attempting to re- cover it lost the other, and jumped over- board to recoved them. The wind was fresh, and there was a strong current setting from the land. The boat fast drifted beyond Farne's reach and he was compelled to swim for land, Miss Journeaux alone in the boat drifted to sea, and for forty hours she lived in sol- itary agony until rescued by the French vessel. The violent off -shore winds pre- vented the Frenchman from reaching Jersey, and the lady was carried across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. Fairne reached St. Hilaires harbor safely, but his story was disbelieved. People from the shore affirmed that they heard cries of murder from the sea. Farne was ar- rested and indicted for homicide. His liberation is of course certain, Miss Journeaux having cabled her escape. ass-e---aa Suing the Knights. Milwaukee, May 20. -The cigar man- ufacturing firm of H. Seignitz & Co. contemplates bringing suits for dam- ages against the local executive board of the Knights of Labor. The Knights ordered a boycott on Seignitz & Co., which had the effect of practically ruin- ing their business, their factory, em- ploying five hundred hands, having to shut down. J. J. Reilly & Co., mer- chant tailors have had their men called off from work because they would not cease to give employment to a woman who is an expert vest -maker, and they will try and have the grand jury take up the case of the Knights of Labor, whose action, they say, amounts to a conspiracy to ruin their business. The conferences between the wholesale clothing manufacturers and their em- ployes resulted to -day in a settlement by which the latter will resume work at an advance over former wages. Owing to the large number of persons who have been concerned in the tailors' strike, the settlement is a matter of considerable consequence. The strike of the furniture mak:ers has practically ended. Every one of the large furni- ture factories has nearly the usual number of men at work. 1111110.--0-..4111• Idaho Stage Robbers Arrested. Blackfoot, Idaho, May 25. -Wm Johnson, Nate Johnson, alias Nate Young, and Lovett were arrested yes- terday near Albion, Cassia county, on the charge of robbing the United States mail during the month of April, near Albion. On the day of the robbery Win. Johnson shipped a package by the Pa- cific Express to his brother at Rawlins, Wyoming, said to contain $12,700. About ten miles from Albion, the stage was stopped by two masked men and the treasure box taken therefrom. Nate Johnson was brought here this morning by Deputy Marshal Snyder, and Wm. Johnson and Lovett will arrive on the train this evening, brought by Deputy United States Marshal C. C. Haines. He will be brought before United States CommissionerHouse to -morrow on the charge of robbing the United States mail and putting the life of the carrier in jeopardy. The Johnsons are cele- brated for having been connected with various deeds of outlawry between Ida- ho and Texas. The two Johnsons are brothers of the notorious Perry Pheas- ants who was killed at Albion a year ago by Deputy Sheriff Butterfield of Oxford. Thirty -Five Thousand Dollars Worth of Property Burned.

A \V' -shaped piece of the missile was torn from the base, and as the sole of Murphy's foot was blown out . back of the fracture toward the heel in line with the fracture of the slug the sur- geon believes that the explosion oc- curred after the bone was struck. That is the only case where evidence was found of an explosion in a wound ; but it opens the way for the opinion that the missiles with which the bomb was loaded were charged with explosives to add to their force, velocity and destruc- tiveness after they were liberated by the explosion of the machine itself. imprisonment in the penitentiary at Detroit, Michigan, for unlawful cohab- itation : John J.

Another pe- culiarity of the action of these misseles is that in every case they carried into the wounds pieces of the clothing and so greatly enhanced the danger of blood-poisoning. Dr. Murphy had one especially re- markable case and it has suggested a theory to him that would not be sup- plied by any other wound. 'The case is Blackfoot, Idaho, May 24. -In the third district court at Blackfoot to -day Chief Justice Hayes sentenced twenty- seven prisoners convicted this term, all Mormons except two. Seventeen rang- ed from three months and $100 tine to twelve months and $300 fine. All the one-year prisoners are to be sent to the house ofcorrection at Detroit, Michigan, and those for a lesser period to the United States penitentiary at Boise City. Marshal Fred T. Du Bous and deputies will leave in a special car for Detroit on the 26th inst. with thirteen prisoners, lime first batch of polygamists sent out of the territory. One hundred and forty-five indictments were drawn for unlawful cohabitation at this term of court. All refused to obey the laws in the future except one. This is the sixth destructive fire in Livingston in about one year and the town has been fearfully devastated by its repeated inflictions. Rebuilding is going on rapidly and the new structures are of much more substantial character than those that have been destroyed. THE ST. LOUIS MYSTERY. A Tragic Episode in the Trial of Max- well the Murderer. St. Louis, May 24. -The prosecution I uncovered an ambush on the defense in the Maxwell trial to -day. It was like I the explosion of a bomb at the man's I feet. The smooth current of unimport- ant testimony was broken by a sense - the prisoner was again a listless spec- tator. There was one change though and this was that the interest of Max- well in the trial was iedoubled . , and more than ever since the beginning of the case was in continued close consul- tation with one or the other of his at- ; torneys. As the witness proceed0, after a few opening questions, to give Maxwell's confession to him in jail, the? audience was breathless with attention. The witness kept up a little forward and backward teeter of his chair. Ills face flushed, and blanched slightly when Fauntleroy was questioning him as to his character. It was a terribly earnest moment for the prisoner. Ile wiped the perspiration from his palms with the nervous trembling of his hands. ilis face was pallid. Ile pitched his chair nervously and inter- locked his fingers, but his eyes never left the face of the witness, who was giving his testiinony in a trembling voice and with averted gaze. As the detective proceeded his voice grew steadier, but the uneasy manner was still with him. St. Louis, May 25. -In the Preller murder trial this morning all of the clothing marked \C. A. P.\ found in Maxwell's trunk in Auckland, New Zealand, the valises, hat boxes, trunks, medicine bottles, letters from Maxwell to Preller and from Detective MeCullough to Maxwell and letters of his attorney, articles bought by the de- fendant while in St. Louis for the inur- der and those purchased in San Fran- cisco were admitted in evidence and shown to the jury. The prosecution then stated to the court that they de- sired to rest their side of the case. The defense asked that the coroner who witnessed the post mortem exami- nation of Preller's body be placed on the stand by the prosecution and be made to testify as to the result of the examination. The prosecution refused and the defense appealed to the court. who decided that he could not interfere in the matter. The defense accepted the ruling and asked that an adjourn- ment be taken till 1 o'clock to -morrow. The court then adjourned. ARIZONA INDIANS Scalps Worth 02,000 a Piece. San Francisco, May 24.-A Chronicle, Wilcox, Arizona, special says : The In- dians having been forced into a small section of teritory north of the railroad, and troops being after each band, and every water hole being guarded, it is only a question of a very short time when they will be surrounded and cap- tured. They are all heading for San Carlos reservation, where they will meet with quite a different reception than in former times, as orders are im- perative to kill all hostiles approaching the reservation, which is well guarded by troops and friendly Indians. General Miles and staff at rived here this afternoon and will make this his headquarters for some time. The gen- eral has enlisted a company of Mexi- cans and another of white citizens, who started to -night for the mountains. In addition to their pay the gentiral has offered a reward of $50 for each Indian or head of an Indian brought in here, and $2,000 for Geroninao or his head. San Francisco, May 24. -At Wilcox, Arizona, a band of eight Indians at- tacked the lime kilns ten miles from Fort Thomas last night and killed one man. Troops have started in pursuit. All marauding Indians are now head- ing for San Carlos reservation. A Bulletin special says : A Calabass- as, Arizona, correspondent telegraphs as follows: \If various fragments of a band of hostiles recently operating around Nogales succeed in eluding the troops and reaching the reservation, you may look for an interesting epoch in the history of the Apache tribe, with the laugh on the side of the whites.
