The senate^then resumed rouelderation of the tariff^bill, the pending question being ou the^amendment to the tin plate paragraph.^The discussion was continued by Allison^and Vest. Theargument was carried on at great^length. On behalf of the n publicans tbe^argument was made that there wait au^abundance of tin In Dakota and other parts^of the country, and an increased duty on^plate would develop the tin mines and pro^^duce remunerative tin plate Industries.^On behalf of the democrats it was argued^tbe proposed increase of the duty ou tin^piate tor the purpose of establishing a mm^eiistent Industry was dangerous aud ex^^ceptional legislation, carrying protection^to an extreme never before contemplated^by judicious minds. Miermanargued in favor of the amend^^ment, not so much as a matter uf protec^^tion of tin as of the iron and steel plate in^^dustry. Of 2MS,000tons of tm plate annu^^ally imported, full 276,U00 tous consisted^of iron and steel, the remaining eight tons^only being tin. Allison sftid tbe present^duty was about SS percent; the proposed^duty was about 70 per ceut The debate^was further continued by Tlatt. Saulsbury.^I'luuih, (iorman, Aldricb, Mitchell ami^Call. Finally the amendment wbh adopt^ed^yeas 25, nays 18 (ttrown voting aye).^It fixes the duty on tin plates (taggers iron^or steel) when valued at 8 cents per pound^or less, thinner than No. 10 and not ihlu-^ner than No. 20, wire gauge, at 1 ci nt per^pound.on thinner plates at 1 1 10,1 ft lOamt^1 4-10 cents per pound, aud on corrugated^or crimped plates 1 2-10 cents per pound^All other Iron or steel sheets, plates and^hoop (excepting tin plates) when galvan^ized or coaled with zinc, spelter or other^metal, three-tourths cent per pouud add!^tional. Theamendment proposing a bounty on^sugar made from In-et, sorghum or sugai^cane grown In the United Mates was then^taken up. Vestdeclared emphatically bis opposi^tlon to all such bounties, which he consid^^ered the most objectionable form of pro-^Unction. The Idea of the government going^into partnership with any Individual or set^of iualviduftls lu order to give them pecul^^iar Advantages et the expense of the large^body of the people was a relic of absolute^tyranny and utterly opi^oeed to all free^popular government. Allison In reply to a^question of Kustls asking why a bounty^was proposed, said the object was to in^duce the production of sugar In this counr^try|from beets, from sorghum and frosv^sugar cane. Kuslis ssked Alliaorl^*hether the proposed bounty of one oeuu^per pound oa sugar produced In this coun^try was not an Indirect contradiction of the^ground taken by the finance committee tor^a large reduction of import duty, that^ground being tbe known ascertained limit^of the sugar capacity of the United States.^Allison did not consider the amendment as^In any sense a change of position on the^part of the committee. The sugar pro^duced from sugar cane grown In the^1'nlted States had not kept pace with the^increase of population. Kustis askeu^whether when the substitute was reported^the majority of the nuance committee was^not as well informed as to the sugar pro^^ducing capacity of the United States as It^was when it nropoeed a bounty on sugar.^Allison said tie did not know exactly what^the senator from Loulsians meant by that^inquiry. He (Allison) bad not known^quite as nun 'i on Oct. 5, when, the bill was^reported, as he had known when he ohVred^the amendment, and he even confessed to^having received some valuable Information^from a witness who had been before the^committee within the last lew dafftj Qftfe^son asked Allison whether the committee^had not heard of the Increase of 25 per cent^in the sugar cane growing area of Louisi^^ana within tbe last tnree or four years,^and of an increase of nearly 100 per cent in^the yield from cane by improved methods^^Allison replied the committee had some^testimony in that line, but the committee^had also learned there was no ^diffusion'^plant in Louisiana except that erected hy^the government of the rutted States; but^even with that diffusion proceas, as applied^to sugar cane, Spreckels hail disclosed to^the committee very ciearlv that he could^beat that production bv the manufacture^of sugar from beeta. While he admitted^that Louisiana had taken recent steps to^improve the sugar making proceas largely,^It should be borne In mind, he said, that^the Increase of population and the increase^of consumption of sugar per capita was so^great 150,0o0,0U0 pounds or sugar would be^required to supply that annual increase of^consumption. The state of Louisiana^eon Id not supply sugar to asset that In^^crease, to say nothing of the 8,000,000,01)0^pounds of sugar now Imported. Vesthinted at ^the new light^ which^had broken In upon thr finance committee^aud ^the political exigeu-y^ which had^led to the reporting of the amendment.^Allison denied emphatically that he, his^judgment, or that of tbe committee on this^matter had been controlled by any politi^cal exigency.^ Shermftn advocated the^amendment He admitted there was a^strong feeling In the country against a^direct bounty for the protection of any^^thing, and yet such bounties fas to salt and^tish and other matters) have been supported^by tbe most eminent men in the history of^tbe country, tie believed within ten years^sugar enough could be produced in this^country to supply the domestic market.^He understood one sixth of the entire^weight of beets could he converted Into^sugar. Was It not therefore, he asked, a^desirable thing to encourage the beet sugar^industry in the UmUd states^ It was the^bounty paid for beet sugar In France and^(iermany that bad stimulated its enormous^production In those countries. Oibeon ad^^mitted the stimulating effort of a direct^bounty In France and Germany, but argued^that a more powerful stimulant might nave^been the duty of not leas than four cents^a pound Imposed on Imported sugar.^Sherman said be wished to see this^experiment tried, not In the Interest of any^section, state or community, but In the In-^tereat of the whole country. Kuslis asked^the republican side of the chamber what^became of the argument on their side that^the substitute was framed on ^the theory,^^to use Hlscock's expn*aslon, ^that it was^the duty of the government, regard leas of^IU needs or ot the conditions of the tax^^payers, to develop by protective legislation^every American Industry, whether It was^hoary-headed In its Infancy or still In the^womb^'* He wanted to know4f the re pub^can majority In the senate proposed to^kick the sugar Interest of f,oulsana out of^the national household aud let It come to^the national kitchen for crumbs of bread. Allisonsaid 1 Louisiana had grown strong^and vigorous under a tariff ^trust^ and had^stood in with It and abided by It for sugar^and sugar alone; but when a proposition^was made that would reduce the price of^sugar to the consumer one cent a pound^the senator from Louisiana answered It by^a denunciation of the whole aystem. He^(Alllson^ declared it would be better for^the people to pay for tbe whole^sugar crop of Louisiana and dump it In^the gulf than keep up the exieting duty on^sugar. Tbe tax took fZh 000,000 out of the^pockets'of tbe people In order that the^sugar producers of I^ouislana might re^^ceive one cent a pound on the lnnnitesi-^mally small proportion of sucar they pro^^duced. After some further discussion and withoutreaching a vote the senate went^Into executive session ftnd soon adjourned. THKUOt'BB. Afterthe transaction of unimportant^business the house resumed consideration^of the territorial lulls McDonald, Minne^^sota, thought all the territories referred to^In the omnibus bill were ready for admis^^sion. Adams, Illinois, characterized the^omnibus bill as a transnarett subterfuge.^Under It the people of the territories would^not obtaiu a simrle aubstantlal advantage^which they could not obtaiu If not passed,^while ttie defeat of the senate bill would^have the practical effect of continuing for^another tear the outrage on the people of^Dakota. Orosveoor,Ohio, said the object of the^omnibus bill was to delay the admission of^Dakota. Admit Dakota under the senate^bill, then consider the claims of the other^territories. Oumotiou of (ilfford, Dakota, an amend^no ot waa adopted granting 120,000 acres^for the support of an agricultural college^In the state ot Dakota; tbe senate bill^granted ninety sections of land. An^amendment was also adopted provldlug the^lands sold for common school purposes^shall not he sold for less thftn $10 an acre.^The salary of tbe district judges was re^^duced from $5,000 to $$,500. April V, 1HKV,^is fixed as the date tor au election to he^held to decide the question of the accept^^ance of boundaries and the name of the^new state. On motion of Uitford the^amendmt nt was agreed to providing at^this election stale officers be elected, and^also two members of congroag. Thereading of the senate bill having^been completed, Springer moved to strike^out all after the enacting clause and sub^^clinic the omnibus bill, liurrows, Michl-^gau, rsised a point of order against the sub^^stitute. The speaker sustained the point^wt order, and ruled the substitute out^Springer then moved to strike ,^ut the en^^acting clause andintert house bill No. K,44M^with certain amendments. Tbe speaker^ruled this not lu order, and said all the gen^^tleman had tbe right to do was to offer as a^substitute for the senate bill house^bl 11 No. 8.4*0. Mr. Springer there-^upoii offered that bill as a substitute.^House bill No. K.4H6 was then received as^the substitute, and Springer asked unani^^mous consent that tbe previous substitute^offered by him (the one providing for the^division of Dakota) be considered in its^stead. Tbe speaker pro teiu. (Cox) sub^^mitted the request, and there being no ob^^jection, so stated. Subsequently the ques^^tion arose as to whether this consent had^t^een granted, but no record of the transac^^tion appenn d in the official notes, and^much confusion ensued, but finally consent^was again given. McDouald, Minnesota,^then offered his substitute for Springer's^proposition (this embodies the principal^features of the omnibus bill), except that it^provides for the immediate admission of^South Dakota, rending its reading lh^^house adjourned.

Representatives^of the Glassmakers' convention, which has^been In session here, were before the sen^^ate finance committee to day arguing that theduties proposed by the senftte tariff^bill were too low. Thequestion as to where the 1'nlted^States ship Atlanta is to go is settled at^last. Orders have been issued to her com^mander, (.'apt. Howell, to proceed in her at^once to Tort au Prince. Themajority of the Ford commute** on^contract labor has decided that a $5 tax^shall be imposed upon immigrants.

Gov.ques- Washinoton,Jftn. 17.^Delegate Calne^was heard to day in favor of the admission^of Utah as a state. He declared I tab^possessed every requirement for admission,^and that tbe people are largely descendants^of tbe best stock of New Kngland and the^Middle states. There was never any re^^sistance to fedei al authority in Utah, and^moreover no thought of it It was not true^that a majority of the people of Utah had^long deticd the authority t.f abe United^States, as expressed in its statutes, by^practicing polygamy. The majority of the^people of Utah, or a majority of the nia-^ority, did not practice polygamy. The^pposttion, he said, to Utah becoming a^state is fomented and kept alive by un^^scrupulous and ambitious men. He^did not include among them the con^^servative gentiles who mind their own^business ftnd are willing to live ftnd let^live. The motive of the ftgltators In Utah^was to obtain the rule for themselves, be^^ing In the minority they wanted the mtv^ority proscribed. They steadily resisted^every attempt to bring about even business^relstlons with the minority. He described^the efforts of the people of Utah to settle^oreverthe polygamy question, and pledged^his honor that the constitution they nan^formed was In good faith. He maintained^there was no church domination In poll-^Ics, or anything else, as alleged. The re^ent prosecutions were not for polygamy,^but for association with married wives^mftny yeftrs ftgo, in many cases the defend^^ants voluntarily submitting to the law,^^roving their acceptance of tbe Inevitable. wasfrequently interrupted by^West and others and answered their^tlons promptly. Inconcluding bis argument he said the^attempt to create the belief that priestly^Influence would nominate a state ticket,^and that the Mormon people were sub^^jected to ecclesiastical tyrrftny, was part of^a shrewdly devised scheme. In conjunction^with the organized efforts to accomplish^the overthrow of the majority and the eleva^^tion topowerof the minority. Thedoctrlnes^of the church proclaimed and insisted upon^the divorce of civil and eccleslsstleal power.^There was nowhere to be found a hod of^^enple ao generally Intelligent and well ln-^^rmed, u hose natural tendency was Inde-^lendeiice of thought. II.* took up the pub^Ished statements of Gov. West and said he^hoped the committee would not belie such^twaddle.^ What right had anybody to^apply a religious test to the people of a ter^^ritory seeking the privileges of atatehood^to wnlch they were entitled They were^American citizens of the United States,^had presented a constitution republican In^form, prohibiting polygamy and providing^^enaiuee against transgressions of the^undamenta! law and making a union of^the church ano state Impossible. Delegate^Dubois, of Idaho, then addressed the com^^mittee tn opposition to admission. Hesaid a statement had been made cal-'^culated to mislead In regard to the swntl-^ment of communities adjacent to Utah, and^la compliance with tbe wishes of Ms own^territory he desired to address the commit^^tee. There were about l,00u Mormons In^Idaho, and there was no dlffemnee be^^tween them and those In Utah. He dwelt^on the difficulty of securing the conviction^of Mormons, and what practical polygamy^there was In that part of the territory In^which the Mormons were settled. He said^his judgment was that one-third of the adult^Mormons In Idaho were in polygamic rela^^tions, and submitted a few remarks In re^^gard to the civil power of the church. He^said his territory was very much concerned^in the rate of titan. Statehood for Utah^ould mean polygamy firmly entrenched,^in conclusion he presented a memorial of^the Idaho legislature unanimously oppos^^ing the admission of I tab as a state ot the^Union. ACOWARDLY CUR. Th.Way Michael Oavltt Spoke of O Donovan^Rosea to a Friend. iONUON,Jan. 17.^ The cross examina^^tion of Patrick Delaney was resumed be^sum. d before the Parnell commission to^^day. The witness persisted In declaring^he saw lioyton point out to the Invincible,^lirady, the chairman of the prison board,^liourke. for assassination. On cross-exam^^ination by Michael Davltt, l^elaney said he^was positive he had often seen Davltt in^compauy with Dan Curly, although he^could not fix dates. Attorney Webster^showed the correspondence between Matt^Harris and Michael DavUt with reference^to land agitation. The only letter that at^tracted lntereat was one from Davltt to^Harris, written In New York, In which^Davltt said: ^Perhaps you are not aware^that John O'heary is here. He came from^Paris to upset my land leag ie endeavors.^He will go back a wiser though a sadder^man. He is sun ported by nobody save a^few bosthoods, following that blatant ass,^Uossa.

Attorney General Webster re^^fused to be pinned to a definite time for the^production of the letters. FoundOn th.

Habcock, who was^mysteriously murdered last year at tbe^house of Miss Sarah Dodge In Gardner,^111. Mis Kalrchild has been trying through^the probate court here to secure ft share of^Habcock's estate.and had almost conclusive^^ly shown that Habcock actually did secretly^sustain marital relations with her and has^attempted to prove that when she was^In an appareatly dying condition Habcock^was married to her by Kev. Mr. Hums, a^Methodist minister. The testimony of the^clergyman left no doubt that a wedding^under the circumstances described bad^taken place. Today Mrs. Julia Bratton,^sister of Mrs. Kalrchild, was on the stand^and the fact crept out that the minister at^her marriage was the same Kev. Mr.^Hums. Cross-questioning soon developed^the fact that in every detail of time, place^and manner the lsratton wedding waa^Identical with the alleged marriage of^Mrs. Kalrchild to Col. Habcock. Tbe trial^was at once adjourned and the oplnlou ia^that Mrs. Kalrchlld's case haa fallen flat THEWEATHER. Temperature Y.etarday at Helena and at VariousOther Points In the Northwest.

FRIGHTENEDOR CRAZY. JudgeHow.y Bends a Man to Jail Who le^Picked Up on tho Btraet. Yesterdaymorning ex-Under Sheriff^Glbba appeal. d in the probate court with a^man whom he said had accosted him on^the street and asked for protection. Tbe^man seemed terribly frightened when^questioned by Judge Howey and nervous^^ly walked the lloor looking anxiously at^the door as if expecting some one to come^In. He aald there were men after him to^kill him and he wanted protection. Hia^story was In substance that he went into a^dive on Main street and that he was^''rolled^ for 940. His assailants threatened^to kill him If he told of It and frightened^him so that he was not himself. Tbe judge^questioned him closely as to whether he^had b-en drinking or was accustomed to^the use ot opium or any other narcotic^drug, but the man denied having uaed any^drug and said he never drank. The judge^offered to send him to the poor farm for a^few days, but be said he waa afraid he^would be killed on the way out there. The^judge then offered to send him to jail, but^h^ declined on the ground that he had^done nothing. He waa finally induced to^go to jail where he now is. Theman who Is either crazy or has been^temporarily frightened out of his wits,^gives the name of Walter Vincent and says^he came to Helena from Butte. What^credit can be placed In his story of having^been robbed no one seems to know. Mr.^Glbbs says when Vincent approached him^he aras shaking as If with fear, and told^him the same story he told the judge. He^will be kept In jail fur several days, aud If^he does not recover some other disposition^will be made of him. ANORIENTAL BANQUET. Enter- THEDUTYON WOOL. ManufacturersBefore the Senate Ask.^ing for Lower Duties, While the^Growers Demand Higher. SHERMANHAS A PLAN, TheOhio Senator Proposes to Increase^the Present Duty, and tha Manu^^facturers Claim Such Action^Will Ruin Them. WangDung, a San Francleco Lawyer, talnedIn Helen. Chinatownwas a blaze of glory last^night a distinguished visitor was present,^and a royal feast had been spread for his^enUTtalnment, In the banquet room over^Won Chung's store on south Main street^The visitor Is no less ft personage than^Wang Dung, the bead of the legal Chinese^lights in San Francisco. He is In Montana^to adjust differences among his country^^men and will remain in Helena and vicinity^tor several days. When Wong Chung^learned of Wang Dung's proposed visit a banquetwas determined upon and Invita^^tions were sent to the leading Chinese citi^^zens of the city to meet their illustrious^countryman and toes with him the^giddy chop-stick in the ftlr, sip^tea, and whisky, and hit the pipe^occasionally. Covera were laid for^fifty guests and every seat waa occupied.^China Tom was the toast master and in^opening tbe hash exercises made a witty^and pleasing address, which wreathed^many a brown face in smiles. Wang^Dung also made an eloquent off-hand^speech. The company sat down at H o'clock^and arose^those that could^at midnight.^Tne menu was printed on yellow satin and^were distributed as souvenirs. OWashington,Jan. 17.^This morning^the senate sub-committee on finance. In^charge of the tariff bill, heard delegations^of carpet and woolen goods manufacturers^and woolgrowers. The former desired^certain modifications in the wool schedule,^tending to a reduction of duties, while the^woolgrowers wanted additional duties.^Their views at times were widely divergent^and expreased with much vigor. As far as^learned the arguments made no change In^the minds of the committee. SenatorSherman proposed the following^amendment to the bill, which the manufac^^turers now have under consideration, and^will express their opinion on it before the^committee to-morrow. Amending para^^graphs S44 to read as follows: ^u wool^of the first and third classes which shall be^imported waahed.shall be twice the amount^of duty u^ which they would be subjected^if Imported unwashed. The duty upon^wools of the second class which shall be^Imported washed shall be five cents per^pound In addition to the duty to which^they would be subjected If Imported un^^washed. Washed wools are defined to be^such as are washed In cold water on the bee k^of the sheep. The duty on wool of all^classes which shall be Imported scoured^shall be three tlums the duty to which they^would be subjected If Imported unwashed.^Wool which, when Imported, shall contain^less than ten per cent of the weight thereof^of poke, grease, dirt, or other foreign sub^^stance or matter, shall be classified as^scoured and pav duty accordingly. Beforethey left the room some of the^manufacturers asserted such an amend^^ment would be a practical destruction of^their industry, and that as against it they^would wurk lor free wool. AMONGTHE RAILROADS. WhatMay B. Done Within the Vaar^O.ner.1^Note*. Whenthe Montana Central road entered^Hutte It was understood by the contract^originally drawn between the Union Pa^^cific and Northern l'aclfle that the Mon^^tana Union agreement might at the pleas^^ure of the Union Pacific be withdrawn.^Tho Montana Central has entered Uutte,^but tbe agreement Is still In force, although^It Is obvious that the Montana Union, ever^since the time the new road entered, hst In^no way accommodated Its northern ad^^versary in the matter of time schedules at^Garrison, Instead, It has done everything to^facilitate transportation for the Montana^( entral by making c^nesttoos both ways,^north and south. Soon tm Northern Pa^^cific however, by Its Gallatin and Boulder^line will have direct communication with^the smelter city and will ask no favors of^tha Union Pacific, which controls ttc^actions nt the Montana Union. TbeUnion Pacific, nevertheless, has not^been Idle the past summer, but has had^two lines staked out westward, one from^Stuart to Missoula, through the Hitter^Root valley, and the other from Garrison^bi Missoula, paralleling tbe Northern Pa^^cific for some distance. The Oregon Kali^way A Navigation company also has a line^projected westward, through the Co*ur^d'Alenes, and on to Missoula. In the^event of the two roads coming to any^misunderstanding, which Is highly proba^^ble, especially on the part of the Union^Pacific, a great railroad building boom^may be looked for this year. Tbe^O. K. A N la said to be controlled by the^Union Pacific now, as the Northern Pacific^never signed the lease tendered It a year^and a half ago. In view of this It looks^plausible that In the near future the Union^Keltic will be linked to the O. R. A. V.^making another great transcontinental sys^^tem. The Montana Central will not, tt Is^reliably stated, do any building this year,^unless It may he a branch to the Ilelt^Mountain mineral fields, and this will de^^pend to a large extent on the mineral de^^velopments made there within the next six^months. AHOt'TMCBINNON. SinceMr. Uaw has assumed charge of^the Montana Union, vice Mr. Dickinson,^there are many rumors afloat as to where^the latter gentleman will be assigned. The^report that he will take tbe management of^the contemplated Anaconda line from^Hutte is not believed here. A gentleman romineutlyidentified with the Montana^ted yei Insonhas few equsls in this western S ntral,remarked yesterday Mr MissoulaGazette The many friends^and patrons of the Kerrls Mercantile com^^pany will be pleased to learn that tbe re^^cent business complication- which threat-^ened to cloae up the business of that firm^have been adjusted and that everything is^running smoothly again. Burns'Birthday.^Tbe Caledonian club held a meeting last^night and completed tbe necessary prepar^^ations for the proper observance of liurns'^birthday, Jan 25 A banquet and ball will^be given at Assembly hall, commencing st^8 o'clock. Col. Sanders will be tbe orator^of the evening, speeches are also expected^from Judges McConnell ftnd Galbraitb, and^Hon. 1. D. McCutcheon. Prof. Beggs'^class uf children will dance Scotch dances^while the company Is assembling. After^the banquet the dance. Dick-coun^^try as a railroad man: he is alert, sagac^^ious and a faithful servant, and 1 think any^man laboring under the many disadvan^^tages he has, since he took hold of the^Montana Union, would have tendered Ida^resignation long ago. As to where he will^go next I am not at liberty to say, but I^-^a i tell you this much about Mr. Dickin^^son, It Is not what position he can get, but^what one he will accept^ As to whether^he would accept a position with the Mon^^tana Central the gentleman would not^state, but remarked that he knew that Mr.^D. has already received two offers and^neither of them had any connection with^the Independent Anaconda line. KAIl.BOADNOTES. NorthernPacific train No. 1. was delayed^several hours yesterday by the snowstorms^reported in Dakota. The Montana Central^passenger from St Paul was also reported^nine hours behind time. General Manager^Shelby said tbe delay was caused by the^breaking of axle-tree on a freight train east^of Great Kails and near Glasgow station.^Notwithstanding this tbe Montana Central^local train left on time In the evening. A^special was put on for the accommodation^of tbe travelers between here and Hutte^and will always be put on whenever the^regular train Is not on time. SupremeCourt. Thecase ot Isaac D.

THEFORT ELLIS LANDS^The house of representative* very^promptly adopted themnncil joint ninni-^orial, yesterday, wking congreHi .to do-^nut* the Fort Kilts reservation lands to^the territory of Montana for the estab^^lishment and maiutenanre of an agri^cultural and mechanical college. The)^reservation consists of about :n^^^ acres^of land, a large portion of which is ara^^ble and all of which would doubtless t^^^salable in time for one purpose or anoth^^er. Before the house adjourned notln*^was given bv Mr. Kavis that he would^move a reconsideration this morning,^with thv intention af having the mem^orlal aniendntl so that the donation, If^secured, may be available for the gener^^al education fund. It would be a blun^^der to so amend ihe memorial, because^the allotment of M-hool lands in Mon^^tana li already the same as that in other^territories and ^*tnti^*. and there Is not^the lea^t probability that It would he In-^cp'H-r 1. Iii other Instances, how^^ever, the general government has^donated lan 1* towards the establishment^of institution- such as the mem win!^contemplates. The term ^agricultural^and mechanical^ would by no mean-^limit the proposed college to instruction^in husbandry and mechanical trade-,^stitckgrowing and mining and miner^alogy would be legitimate branches of^study in such an institution, and In fart^the establishment of a school of mines^should Is* one of the first caree of the re^^gents should the donation of the lands^for the desired purpose be made. There^is now no school of mines nearer than^Denver, and such institutions are rare^throughout the country. The twnofH of^a school of that character in Montana,^whose metal output is greater than that^of any other territory or state of the^In ion, can be readily Imagined. Itby no means follows that because^certain lauds are or may be donated for^the establishment of an agricultural and^mechanical college the college must be^United upon those lands. That is a mat^ter that will naturally he decided upon by^considerations of accessibility and util^^ity. If the lands in (juration ofTerasuit-^able site they will be selected; if not,^then another location can readily be ob^^tained. aggeratlonof Its charges, was in these^words: 'Theday after election it took a larce^cart to bear away the wine tlabki fiotu Ihe^democratic headquarters and under^^stand there were empty whisk) demijohns^to be removal also, while a prominent re^^publican, who Is not considered a teni|s*r-^ance man at all, told nie that In the repub^^lican headquarters a number of empty^cigar boaea alone mid the iturj of their^joy. TheiNDaTKM'hvi lays these facts be^^fore the ptgp|| ej Helena whom the spec^^ious, cowardly and childish pleas of^Ualeigh and his alleged newspaper or-^gau might nil-lead. Had Kaleigh pos^^sessed the manhood to admit that he had^been led Into an erroneous statement,^his foolish but malicious babble might^have been overlooked, by seeking to^create a false impression he has Invited^the foregoing statement of truth. PUBLICLAND 8URVfcY8. DelegateToole stated the claims of^Montana for a suitable appropriation for^survey of the public lands in a letter^which he addressed to isainuel J, Kan-^dall, chairman of the house committee^on appropriations, under date of Daft^ML ^There has,^ he wrote, ^been vlr^tually nothing done In the matter of^surveys in Montana for three or four^years. Two causes have combined to^prevent the same: First. Insutlicleiicy^of the appropriations; second, Inade^^quacy of the price tixed for surveying,^whereby no contracts were let and the^money returned to the treasury.^ The^fact that more than a year had elapsed^since the Hlackfeet Indian reservation^was opened to settlement, adding 17,^*H*i,iMi acres to the public domain, and^that up to this time nothing has I-. u^done to establiah boundaries, thereby^opening the wav for numberless disputes^besides retarding settlement, was set^forth by Mr. Toole, who thought at least^f.iii,^mi should be allowed for surveys In^northern Montana, which huiii ^is so in^^significantly small as to amount to noth^^ing compared w ith our HBswa^ttsl^Surveys are needed In all parts of the^territory, east, west, north and south, I^earnestly ask,^ said Mr. Toole, ^a special^appropriation of t4tyM for the survey^of the reservation above mentioned in^addition to the f v-Ki just appropriated^to us, which I hope may be ex^^pended in other part- of the territory^where surveys are ^|uite as urgent. I^also hope that the maximum price of^surveys allowed to contractors shall be^increased to the same amount as tlxed^for Washington territory. Ibe claim is, so moderate and so just^that it should have the unhesitating ap^proval of the appropriation committee^and the houses of congress. ast luter-^ests an- Ht stake, immigrants are wait^ing to take up unoccupied lands, and en^ItfprifMOf various kinds are retarded^by the indifference of the general gov^^ernment. THEUTAH MEMORIAL. Thememorial to congress adopted by^the couucil, yesterday, protesting against^the admission of I tali to the union was^in no sense a party measure, as is shown^by the fact that the vote stood live dem^^ocrats and six republicans for adoption^and oue republican in the negative. Mr.^Kennedy's opposition to the memorial^was, as he explained, on the ground of^non-interference. Although Mr. Ken^^nedy cannot be accused of sympathizing^with the polygamist dogma, his theory^that the memorial called in question^mens motives and principles was ex^actly the |^ositiou taken by 1 telegate^Caine In congress yesterday ami the one^which Mormons generally advance. Hut^It is not a question of motives, religion^or principles that Is Involved here; it is^the practice by the Mormons of polyg^amy, a crime in the eyes of every civil^^ized uatlon. I'nder a state government^in which the polygamlsts would he dom^iuant, I tah would be more than ever^governed by the Mormon hierarchy, and^the lives and property of (ientiles would^be less secure than they were before the^passage of ttie Kdmunds law, which^could only be enforced under the terrl^torlal government. It la undeniable^that plural marriages are still performed^in the territory and that the law is^evaded in every way possible. Kveu^now Gentiles are not protected in their^rights as they should be, when not^within reach of the court officer*. The^memorial is au expression, through the^legislative assembly, of the sentiment of^the people of Montana upon the question^of the admission of l tah before It shall^have ^brought forth fruits meet for re^pentance,^ and as such is proper and^right. THESTANDING COMMITTEES,^'I he legislative committees were an^ununeed yesterday. Those of the coun^^cil could not have been more equitably^arranged, the president making his as^^signments in accordance with the known^qualifications of the members and, as^well as he could, ignoring party lines.^Several important chairmanships were^given to democratic councilmen, who are^specially qualified for the work which^will be assigned to them. In the house^wo of the twelve committees were given^democratic chairmen. It is a suggestive^fart that.loe bavin, of Lewis andt'larke,^s not given a chairmanship, while Silver^How has the speakership and^two committee chairmanships. The^twelve committees afford only half as^many chairmanships as there are mem^Iters of the house, and so it was inevita^^ble that some should be disappointed,^but it was not in the nature of things^that Silver How should be amoug them.^In the main the -elections are good.^Mr. Hunt, chaiimau of the judiciary^committee. Is probably as well or better^jualilied for the place as any member of^the house, and Mr. Johnson, chairman of^thecommittee on agriculture, manufac^^tures and stoi'kgrowing, is eminently^titled f^r the duties of the positlju. UNJUSTAND UNTRUE.^^The Kvenlng Herald, which has the^chronic habit of Impugning the veracity^of others, accuses the Indkpkndknt of^attacking A. Dt, Kaleigh anjustly and^upon false assumptions. The Herald^knows that the criticisms of the Km^pkmjkm upon Mr. Kaleigh were not^based upon anything he did or said in^his capacity of a free elector, althougt^Mr. Kaleigh himself, with a lack of in^geuuousuesa 111 becoming a minister of^the gospel, endeavored, in a nshwlfely^communication which the Herald ^cheer^fully published,^ to give the impression^that he had offended In that capacity^only. Mr. Kaleigh, in his capacity of^preacher of the gospel, before a company^of clergymen known as the Helena Mm^isWh' association, perpetrated a gross^and entirely gratuitous libel, after^the election was over, upon^a company of gentlemen who^had acted as managers of the cam^^paign for the democratic party. The^libel was committed at a time when It^did not have even the poorexcuae of party^necessity. The libel was given semi-pub^^licity by being printed in the Herald, the^report bearing everv evidence of having^been furnished by Kaleigh himseir. The^libel, wh'. h loses much of the veuom It^was in tended to convey by the absurd ex harbor.The statement which concludes^this dispatch, to the eflTect that ^the^story is believed by many leading Irish^men in this country^ is an insult to de^^cent Irishmen. It simply means that^the story emanates from such creatures^as O'Donovan Koesa, who have them^^selves been engaged In plots to blow up^ocean steamers.

THELEGISLATURE. ThePresident of the Council and the^Speaker of the House Appoint^Standing Committees WORK BEING PUSHED. G.A. Bennett Filet a Notice of Con-^test for the Seat of Walter M Bick-^tord in the Council -Referred^to the Election Committee. Thelegislaturedown to work, andconsiderable business was transacted^\ i I.l\ in both houses. The council^and the house both announced their stand^^ing committee*, the council committee!^giving more satisfaction than those of the^house, but no asserttou has been made that^Speaker Mantle did not do the best he^could under the circumstances. Mr.^Hunt, chainnsn of the judiciary^at mnn ittee, is an able lawyer, and^bills which go through Ml hands will^be correctly reported. Several members,^It is understood, did not receive the chair^^manships they wanted, but the^pie war n't big enought to go^around. The Joint resolution^authorizing the appointment of extra^clerks, passed as amended by the council,^and Kugepe French was named b^ .speaker^Mantle for a vacancy, lie will assist Chief^Clark Webster. The resolution passed by^the council extending thanks to IMegau-^'( (Mile was promptly laid upon the table by^the house. Inthe council*;. A. liennett filed a no^tice of contest for the seat now occupied by^Walter M. liKkford, Missoula. The^r were referred to the committee ou^elections. The governor's message was^referred to appropriate committees in tat^council and will be so referred by^Imi ise. Um thecouncil- Councllcalled to order at 10 a m. Mem^bersall present. Minutes of previous day^read and approved. lirown.from the special committee on^rule*, rcjtorted the rule* of the fifteenth^session with aom^' amendnn nts. '1 he re^port was adapted and referred tu the com-^mitteeon printing when appointed. Thompson,of l^e*r Lodge, gave jottai^that he would introduce a bill to amcnil^UtttM H Oi the probate practice act, Um^pri^po^ted amendment being to require the^publication in a newspaper of the notice ot^application for letters of adminfttratlon.^also a bill to amend sectloi. l,7o^ nt tlie^general laws, the purport of the aim ml^ment being to give the county assessor au^^thority la collect the tax on merchandise il^in his jiolgnifnt there la a probability ot^the nercoaBdiaa being removed before the^comity treasurer can lawfully levy upon it. Thompson,of Deer Lodge, Introduced^the following joint memorial to congress: Tothe honorable the senate and the^house ot representatives of the USited^Mates Yourmemorialists, the council and the^house of representatives of the legislative^assembly of the territory of Montana most^respectfully represent; Thatthe t^roposed admission of the tor^ritory of I tab asu state would be a ealam^itv not only to every loyal tientlle citi/i n^of that territory but to the general public,^but especially to those states and territories^adjacent to I tab ^Ihat the admission of I tub would Iilncethe government of the state directly^n the hands of the leaders of the ^Cnuren^of Jesus Christ of the battel Daj ^.niii-,'^commonly known as the Mormon church^an organization treasonable in its teach^lugs and practices to the I 'idled Mates^government; 1 hat many of said leaders are now and^have been tor mouths past fugitives from^justice and under indictment tor crimes^against the laws of the Tinted Mates, and^ottiers are serving terms in the pvniten^tisry for slmilsr crimes; Thatthe members of tUin treasonable^orgam/atioii known as the Mormon chur n^largely outnumt^er the loyal GcsHlla citi^^zens In said territory, and conse^uenti)^will, for many )ears to come, have afcao^Ion* conlfol of all alacttOnJ therein, Thatall pretenses of abandonment of^tugamy, polygamy, and other 6ftSAM^against the laws ot the I nited Mates are^pretenses only, made for the purpose ot de^netvlag MffjOM uuac^iuainteu with the^atdiorrent practices of the Mormon church,^and thus create a teeling favorable to the^proposed admission of said territory of^Utah; I..at Um turning over of a state govern^inent to raid Mormon church, or the lead^art thereof, would BO unsafe and impolitic,^because ttie said church is composed by s^large majority of a clais of people who^have nothing ul common with out aims or^our republican institutions they are abso^^lutely under the control of their leaders,^and the use ot the ballot in their hands^would be entirely under the direction of^said leaders ami a travesty id the electue^franchise; Thatthere is no severance of the church^and state in l tab, I Hat the admission of Utah and the ad^ditional power thus giveu said Mormon^church would create a dangerous eoodtUon^of affairs, and would endanger the welfare^ot our social and moral institutions. We.)nu memorialists, would tie refore^reepeetially pray that the territory of I tab^be Dot admitted aa a state. Therules were suspended and the me^Mortal taken under tniumlmte considera^^tion. ADKItATAHI.K l^l'KHTIOnT* Kennedyopposed the passage of the reso^lut ion on the ground that It was an Imperil^DOB1 interference with matters with which^the legislature and the territory had no^POO pern; that it contained statements of the^iuoti\es and opinions which certainly could^not be proved; that the statements of fact^were not substantiated by evidence, and^that there was no more authority or de^ease) in a Montana legislature protecting^against the admission of ('tab because^pull gamy existed to some extent within^its borders than there would be in a 1'tah^legislature protesting against the admtsHlon^of Montana because the latter territory^licensed gambling. He symnathl/ed with^the gentlemin who introduced the measure^In his abhorrence of polygamy, hut thought^the legislature would be exceeding its prop^^er powers in the passage of the memorial. Mlddletouthought the people of Montana^had a right to protest against the condition^of affairs in I tab, and against the admis^sion of the territory uuder such conditions Thompsouspoke in favor of his resolu^^tion and cited his experiences during a^residence In Utah in evidence of the truth^of the statement* contaiued In the me^^morial. Brownmade an eloquent address in^favor of the memorial, saying that he^would not to-day be a citizen of Montana^but for the injustice of the Mormons; that^they had driven him from I'lah after an^unavailiug tight against them. As to their^protesting against the admission of Mon^tana, if they thought it would do any good^they would protest to hell fur the destruc^^tion of the t nited Stales. Themenu rial was then passed. Keiiuedy^voting in the negative. Counciltook a recess until 2 p. m. At2 p m. council resumed. Kennedy,from the special committee on^the governor's message reported that the^sections reclattng to finance, to the pay^^ment of the salary of the attorney general,^to the Montana Library and Historical^society should be referred to the committee^on ways and means; that the section re^^lating to the dereliction of officers should^be referred to the committee on towns and^counties; that the sections relating to .Sun^^day laws, to education, to a house of re^^form should go to the committee on educa^^tion and labor; that the section relating to^a public examiner be referred to the com^uilttee on territorial affairs; that the sec^tlom concerning a penitentiary and Insane^asylum be referred to the committee on In^^ternal improvements, that the sections re^^lating u^ insanity inquests, the^estates of insane persons, and^the codifications of the laws^be referred to the judiciary commit^tee; that the sections relating to agrlcul^ture and timber, huh and game be referred^to the committee on agriculture and manu^factures; that the sectivn* referring to pol^^itics In state tn ttato institutions and to^electoral reform be referred to the commit^^tee ou elections; that the section on the^bounty laws go to the committee on graz^^ing and sbickgrowing, and that the section^relating to the iMontana national guard be wu anvaawai j w^^^^^^um referredto the, comuiiUoe on military a'- the awssege was further deferred until^fairs.I p. mT Thereport was adopted and the sections^referred accordingly on the appointment of^the standing committees.

A. liennett, of Missoula, claiming that^fie was lawfully elect* d councilman from^that county, and that he should tie given^the seat occupied at present by Mr. ltick^^ford. The grounds on which he claimed it^were that at the Heron tuecinct in Mis^^soula county votes cast for him had been^taken from the bailor box and ballots for^Mr. ltickford substituted, that at the name^precinct votes not cast by legal voters had^iM-en placed in tfie ballot hos for Mr. ltick^^ford; that at the OranNdale precinct the^polling place had been moved, depriving^legal voters of the right to vote. The com^UQO teat ion was accompanied by some, afll^davits as to the manner in which the pons^at Heron were conducted. Kenned)moved that the communication^award accouipan^ing papers he referred^to the committee on elections. Hfktordsaid he was anxious for a full^and fair investigation into the matter, but^that lie Wished to see the ihVeatlgatloti^conducted according to legal processes, and^that ttie complaint presented was lacking^in specific charges and would have no^standing in a court of law; that all It^amounted to was a notice of contest and^therefore there was really nothing to refer^to a commit ee lfrownthought that the matter hnd le st^be referred to the committor on I lections^and ttie council could act on the report of^the committee. Middletondid not agree as to the ne^^cessity for reference; The statement pre^^sented was not verified, certainly a prime^necessity. No territorial statute covering^legislative contests i xit '*m|, tint the statute^regulating count) contests required due^notice and verification by affidavit. He^thought there was nothing for ttie council^to consider in committee or otherwise, Thecommunication was then referred to^the committee ou elections, tin* republicans^voting in favor of Mich reference, Collins,^Hoffman and Middleton voting again*! it.^lilck I ^pi excused from voting, and Conrad^absent.
