After a session of two hours^one sj the committee said, ^We have spent^the entire session in considering the bill.^It is noticeable for its contradictory pro^^visions and Its n adeijuary to get any terri^^tory or part of a territory into the Union as^a state. The attempt in a general bill of^this character to provide for the locs^neees-^slices of different territories seems to have^been sueh a failure as that if any state^might come In under us provisions it wou Id^be unable, even in court, to ascertain w^.at^Its rights are. As the hill now stands, ii Is^probably the most complicated aud most^difficult to interpret and administer that^ever passed either house of congress. If^we are to pass it, the measure must be cor^^rected materially aud has been referred to^a sub committee with instructions to see If^its inconsistencies can be so reconciled^that we can recommend its passage.

UNJUS*CRITICISM.^Much of the criticism that has been^pa**ed upon the opinion by County At-^tornev Wallace iu September of lshT rel^^ative to the remarkable gambling-^license laws of Montana has hwn ba-ed^upon misconception, of his duties in the^premises. Mr. Wallace found the laws^upon the statute b^s^kH, and recogulred^the fact that the legislature had nulli^^fied a reasonably good law by the care^^less enaclin* nt of another which was^far from being good. It was lot the^function of the county attorney to pass^upon the validity of either enactment;^he could only coustrue the sUtutea at* he^found them. If any citizen had aeen tit^to make a t^-t of the law by tiling a^complaint iu the nam** of the county^against a person conducting an unfair^game, he would doubtless have found Mr.^Wallace ready and willing to conduct^the prosecution. That a teet waa not^made cannot t^ charged to the former^couuty attorney, who throughout hia^Urm of office labored hard and effective^^ly In tha Interest of the couuty.

THEADMIS6ION BILL.^The senate committee on territories^promises to make some radical changes^iu the Springer omnibus toll for the ad^tuifslon of the territories, the reasons as^^signed being that Mr. Hpnnger's bill is^crude iu con-tructlon and that it pro^^vides for fttO many things that should be^left to the future state legislatures. No^one in the territories will object to any^amendments of the omnibus bill by^the senate that will not lead to a conflict^between the two houses that will result^in disagreement and the closing of the^doors against the territories until such^time as the republicans, having a major^^ity in both houses of congress, may see^tit to pass a bill for -their admission.^The Springer bill may be cumbersome^in some respects, and susceptible of^pruning, but it accomplishes the pur^^poses for which it was drawn, and pro^^vides for the admission of the territories^of Montana, I'akota, Washington and^\ew Mexico in time to take part in the^organization of the Klfty-first congress.^Any action on the part of the senate^which threatens to interfere with that^purpom will react upon the republican^party.

THENEW AMERICAN NAVY. TO BE NO LACK OF FUND8. Reportof the House Committee on^the Prospect of the United State*^Having Sufficient Men-of-War. Washington,Jan. 26^ In IU report^upon the naval appropriation bl!I the bout*^committee on naval atTalri suuiiuftn/ea the^present condition and tuture prospects of^the navy of thttt country. The report Sftys:^^With regard to the new navy con^^gress seeiui to have settled upon a policy^of approprlatlnK towards Its construction^86.000,001) per annum. Your committee be^^lieve this will build up a navy as fsst as^prudence dictate*, our navy department^and our ship builders are utilizing as far as^may be the knowledge acquired from the^costly experience of other nations, but they^must acquire experience of their own. Too^great haste on the part of the^government would Inevitably result^la confusion and waste and^most probably lu comblnationa Instead^of competition among shipbuilders. Be^^sides, It would be an easy matter in this^country to build ships more rapidly than^we could supply them w ith armament of^domestic manufacture. Satisfactory pro^^gress is being made by private contractors^for supplying heavy gun and armor plate^forgings, and for rapid tiring machine^guns. It will be seen that^congress, by the passage of the^bill we report, will have taken^the last step necessary to render the gov^^ernment absolutely independent of the^world in the matter of building and equip^ping a navy, it has been the constant aim^of the committee and of the department to^provide for ships the best of their claas^and guns equal to any in the world. There^is ample com petition among biilders for the^construction of engines and machinery,^and in this matter American enterprise^and Ingenuity seem likely to lead the^world.'* RAILROADHUMBLE.S MarcusDaly Talks About the New Ulna Other^Railroad Matters. Toa reporter of the Anaconda Keview^Marcus Daly said a few days ago: ^With^In six mouths our business will be Ku per^cent greater than It is to-day, and a first^class double track railroad would have all It^could do to take care of us.^ After com^^plaining of the disposition of the eastern^owners of the Montana railways, who .lo^not appear to realize the n eds of the Ana^^conda at times, but without reflecting on^the local management, Mr. Daly said as to^the new road: Weare surveying a route and we shall^certainly see to it that, before the year^ends the railroad service between the^smelter and the mines la able to keep up^with the procession. There isn't a doubt^in the world that we can get a better line^with better grades than ttoseofthe Mon^^tana futon, and in starting out, it Is not a^question of what we would like to do, but^what we must do. 1 fully expect that we^shall have to build a line of our own. We^shall run no exhibition train for the direc^^tors, but if 1 do not see you again before^December 5, just come to Butte that day^and I'll see that you get a nice red cushion^In the caboose of the first ore train that^starts out bound tor Anaconda over the^new line. tdkmontana ckntkai.. TheIndkpkndknt first announced that^O, W. Dickinson would join the Montana^Central, and such seems to be the general^Impression on the west side. The Inter^Mountain Kays in this connection: Thereport that W. Dickiuson, the^present efticient superintendent of the^Montana Tnlon railroad, will go to the^Montana Central as superintendent, may^be considered as a fact. The Central has^at present no superintendent, and the^transfer will probably not take place be^^fore sixty days. TelegraphicInformation Is received to^the effect that the office of general superin^^tendent of the Union Pacific has been^abolished. This relieves Ed. Dickinson,^who has occupied this responsible position^for two years. He Is ft nrotherof (i. W.^Dickiuson, the present superintendent of^the Montana I'nion. Mr. Kd Dickinson has^been ordered 10 report for special duty. TheNorthern Pact he company is nego^^tiating with the Anaconda company for^the contract to build their road to connect^the mine and smelter, and that they want^to operate the road In connection with^their branch from Three Forks to Hutte,^which Is certain to be built at once. The^Moutana Central pe pie are not saying^much, but well posted railroad men are^confident that they will build to Anaconda^this year. Tht-se two projects, if carried^out, will decrease the value of the Mon^tana Union's business, and it is reported^that thai road is in the market. The Mon^^tana Central is said to be negotiating for^the purchase of the lines on the hill, but^does not want the rest of the road, being^confident of its ability to locate another^one. montanai'nion tonnauk. Thelast number of the Kailway Age^contains the following interesting data of^the Montana Union freight business of the^past two years: Duringthe ^ear IKK7 the Montana Union^received from the Union l'acltic 170,81* urns^of freight, and from the Northern I'acltic^K6,5*to. During th* past year It received^from the Union pacific 273,1*24 and from^the Northern Pacific 162 2du,uiaking a total^taftfMftfl from both of lfio,784 tons. In]HK7 the local business transacted by^the Moutana Union amounted to tV40,828,^and in the year just passed It increased to^V74 khs tons. In1H*7 there was forwarded to the Union^Pacific 40,117 and to the Northern Pacific^20, Otto1 tons of freight During 1KKK these^figures ntse to tU),4(M for the IJnUm Pacific^and 54.507 for the Northern Pacific. TheAnaconda ore shipments for the^year lHKMshow an increase over those of^the year preceding of 1I4.V7H tons. Thismakes the total increase of tonnage^handled by the road In Ihhk, 635,021 tons.

The last heard of him was in^September, 1887. Husbandman:P. II. Clerk has pur^^chased from Kleinschmidt tiros, one thous^^and acres of land adj uning the town of^Marttnsdale, together with the hotel, store^building and barn commonly called Gaug^lervilie. The price paid was 98,500. KlverPress: The plan for the hVnton^opera house was submitted to the board of^trustees to-day, which we understand was^accepted. The conte plated structure will^combine the Corinthian, Druidical and se^^vere Roman styUs of architecture. It will^be a magnificent building and an ornament^to the city. The cost will not exceed $75,-^000. Courier:For some time past windows,^doors and lumber, used in lining govern^nient huildings at Fort Kills, have grad^^ually disappeared. Of late, a number of^the outbuildings, made of undressed lum^^ber, have helped add to the ^stock^ of^rarmers and others, and by the time the^government k^u ready to dispose of the^gfgW^g|.teji the government takes^few buildings left to sell. AreLangiry u L^^jy Mac bath NewYork Special. Jan. Rj Mra. Lang-^try appeared as Lady Macbeth at the Fifth^Avenue theatre lo-nt^ht Spe*k|qk of the^performance the Tribune says: ^Mrs.^Langtry has chosen to endow the character^with every quality that Is eaaenttally i^manlike and human, and In this respect^she undoubtedly pursued the true course.^She took the right path when she deter minedto embody Lady Macbeth as a wo^^man and not as a tieud. Hut Lady Mac^betb, iM'ildec being ft woman. Is a fate^and Is a queen. Mrs. Lftngtry eipressed^with right ftnd fine feelings, and at mo^^ments with admirable force and skill, the^attitude and individuality of Lady Macbeth^as the wife. Thus far the performance^'ust itied the courage of her ambition, and^what certainly seemed the audacity of her^attempt. Hut her flight is at present too^near the earth for Lady Macbeth. She^wasn't the fate and she was not the mon^^arch. The aspiration for communion with^the ^sightless substftnoe^ of hell, though^hue and forcible, did not create ft thrill.^There was lack of reality In the Incitement^of the murder ftnd Iftck of mate authority^Id the banquet scene: and, finally, through^the usual business of the sleep scene there^was not ftn adequate indication either^of the coloual will, the illimitable capacity^to suffer or the ravages of infinite misery^that are inseparable from Lady Macbeth.^The execution will be more effective when^the pictures created and the points accom^^plished are longer sustained. The per-^formftnce wu very tar from being a fail^^ure, and it was never in the least absurd^^as various observers had apprehended it^might be. As ft whole, the Shakespearian^revival is entitled to respect and, with ail^its deficiencies. It was received with a pop^^ular favor that could only be regarded as^genuine and auspicious.

PLEADINGFOR QOOAS. Th*Motion to 8^t AtlOa tha Vardlct Heard in^the Supreme Court Thecase of.the Territory vs. Geo. Codas^under sentence for murder in the, brst de^^gree, came on for hearing In the supreme^court yesterday. Godas was represented^by lion. W. II. Hunt and the people by At^^torney General Cullen. The cor*t was^asked to set aside the verdict of the lower^court but no application was made for a^new trial. Messrs Hunt and Cullen both^submitted briefs naming authorities on the^points raised, and also argued In support^The point raised by Mr. Hunt Is: ^Is an^indictment for murder under the common^law good for statutory murder in the first^degree.^ Mr. Hunt stated tnat aa Godas^was found guilty of murder In the first de^gree on the tenth count of the indictment,^one out of the twelve counU, and that the^indictment was defective in aa much that^it failed to show the Intent^to kill when the assault was made. Insupport of his motion to set aaide the^verdict on the grounds mentioned be punt^^ed from .Nebraska, Iowa and Washington^territory decisions bearing upon the point,^that' f Judge I^uion, lu the Nebraska re^^port, bearing more directly upon the ^jue*^tion involved than the other authorities,^Judge Dillon stating that no verdict lor^murder in the first degree should be found^unless the intent to kill was set forth in^the indictment JudgeCullen held that the question^^ a .1 waa a threadbare one. it was^true there had been decisions such as Mr.^Hunt had named, but the majority of^judges held, when called upon to pass ou^the question raised, that an indictment^drawn In conformity with common law^was sufficient. He submitted a number of^authorities on that point, and when he con^^cluded the court took the matter under ad^^visement. AMontana Testimonial.
