WAeHINGTON. D. C., July 27, 1897.(Special Correspondence.)-Now thatthe first session of the 55th congresshas passed into history it natty notbe amiss to refer to the work necom-plsbed. Outside of the tariff bill

little legislation was enacted thatwould bmeitit our State. This is notsurprislng when it is considered thatthe session was called for the ex-press purpose of framing a just tariffbill. For this re~aon very little at-

tention was given to other legisla-

tion and in fact it was impossible tosecure consideration of any measure

that was not of the highest impor-tance. What was true of the sessionjust closed wan equally true of the

short session which terminated onMarch 4th. At that session thework was confined to the appropria-tion bills and although all the timewas consumed in their considerationfour of them failed to become lawsand were handed down to this ad.ministration as an inheritance. It is

needless to say that a Republicanadministration passed the bills and

no embarrassment followed. The

Montana delegation was interestedin a number of measures which hadto go over with a mass of other billson the calendar; but at the long see

slon which convenes next December

these matters will be taken up and

disposed of. During the last hoursof the session Senator Carter suc-ceeded in securing an appropriation

of $i,000 for the Improvement of theKootenal river In the vicinity of Jen-

nings. In the Upper Kootenali river

near Jenninlgs. is a rock upon whichthe "Runtler," "Ruth," and "Gwen-

dollne." three steamers engaged in

transporting lead ore from British

Columbia, have been wrecked withinthe past year and this appropriationis to be used in removing the ob-atruetion. This is a matter of muchimportanee as all the ore which

these steamers were under contractto carry was consigned to the GreatFalls bonded smelter.Senator Maatle secured the pam-

" of his blB providing for theerectiotr s pdIe-blaullitug at Butte,.

baut t failed to pas the House bha-j - mI-rpt b Speaker Reed,as were umerous oter bils .1 a

t I anam ean -agied poups adwlB wro the perm ed a b pro-

viding for holding two terms of the iiU. 8. court at Butte and two terms pat Helena' each year. This leaves lthe matter in such shape that there Iare no arbitrary division lines in the rstate and the people can then con- Isult their own convenience and do ctheir business in whichever court is Inearest, thereby saving expense in lthe matter of mileage, etc.

It has dawned upon the senatethat Montana has one of toe best Iteams in that body. Senators Man-and Carter are recognized as leaders I

on the floor and if any information cis desired in regard to public lands aor the laws relating to the same Sen- 1ator Carter is sought as the source Ifrom which reliable information can Ibe secured. If It it Information in re-gards to Indian affairs, mines ormining or wool, Senator Mantle is 1

called upon. These men have beenidentified with the west so long andhave been so intimately connectedwith its development that they are I

perfect encyclopaedias of knowledgeupon every subject which pertainsto the west. They are in perfectaccord and if one be absent from thechamber he knows full well that hiscolleague is on the ground and willprotect the Interests of Montana andher people.

Senator Carter having supportedMajor McKinley, naturally has thedispensation of the federal patronage.This is an enormous task, but onewhich he is performingeheerfully andsuccessfully. During the early daysof the administration ex-SenatorsSanders and Power, and Hon. O. F.Goddard sought to influence andshape these matters; but the slatemade by this coterie and the num-erous recommendations filed by themfailed to go through and the letters,eulogistic of those named for thevarious positions, are slumberingamongst the archives of various de-partments. So far as discovered noattention has been paid to their in-dorsements or recommendations, itbeing eonceded that Senator Carteris entitled to distribute the patron-age.

Senator Mantle at the Inception ofthe administration, in fact duringinaugaration week, tinformed Presi-dent McKinley that not having sup-ported him be Mt that be could -notconsistently ask any favors in anyway relating to sederal patromage,although he took oecaslon to sayr that be sbonld take the liberty of

eamrt apose I whmnever s mttersI weN ee ues the wMam ' hi.-manm~ er p-n lme IS % mnOWy 7or

him to do so. The President in re-plying assured the senator that he Ishould at all times be glad to see .him and would as far as possible Imeet his wishes. In this connection rI may add that there has been nwdisagreement between Senators Car-Iter and Mantle upon the question ofpatronage.

If your readers will pardon thedligression I will endeavor to getback and write of the tariff billwhich displaces theoutrageous"• or-man-Wilson" affair. During its dis-cussion both senators were veryactive, Senator Carter-being particu-larly so before the caucus and Com-mittee while Senator Mantle was lgenerally heard upon every proposl-tion, vis: lead, hides, barley, cyanideof potassium, lumber and wool, andupon every interest generally speak-ing in which the west was concernedand he was also very active in thegeneral debate upon the bill. Inspeaking of the tariff I may refer tothe fact that when the bill was pre-sented to the senate it only carriedthe provision for 1 cent duty on lead.This was too small and SenatorMantle immediately Introduced anamendment providing for a duty of1% cents per pound. Senator Carterfought valiantly for this in the cau-cus and both senators working inunison, it was soon demonstratedthat this was one of the amendmentsthat had to stick and thanks to theirpreseverance it was incorporated inthe bill, as was another importantanmendment offered by Senator Man-tle providing that lead bullion fromlead ores Imported into this countryin bond shall either be re-exported,or the duty paid within six monthsafter receipt of the ore.

The next lively skirmish was overthe hide proposition. The leathermen backed by Senatore Lodge andHoar and a number of other easternsenators put up quite a bluff and declared openly that they would da.feat this provision. Mantle's amendsmeat took hides off the free list sadmade them dutiable at 1% cents perpound, a specic rate. The ightwas won by our men who outgeneraled the eastern eontingent and whilethe duty has been made ad valosemana placed at 15 per cent. still this isconsidered a fair rate of protetoa--in fnet more tham the 1% cents pie, posed.

The wool schedule was the tIStmsy I.nterestlans prposptm andSwas made so by thesattpp stle

Ilo the as.te e mf emsOr hv Mattle thought na tha

provided they can get their "rawmaterials" at the lowest price. Sen-ators Carter and Warren were es-peclally active In carcus and in theirwork before the Finance committeein behalf of the woolguowers; but Itis unlvssmar~ conceded here that thebrunt of the fight upon the foor ofthe Senate esnted upe Se8sator Man-tie and that the Committee waslargely infuenced, first, by his speechand second by the debate which heled upon the floor of the senate, inmaking changes which redound tothe hbemet of the woelgrowere. Hisstatements were eonvieinlr and nota odngle one was controverted.

The adoption of 8enator Mantle'samendmeat providing for a doubleduty upon washed woolof theseondclams was unfortsnately struck outin conmerence upon the demand of themanufacturer.. The adoption of the-peclie inslsed of the ad valorem

rate on third class wools I. a ditinct gain. The speciue rate of 4eents, Is however, too low sad thedividing Ils of value, which is 12

enats, is too high, to affowd anp realpratection against the wholesal Im-portatiou of these wools and theirms in the mamorture of thecheapergrades of clothing.

One of the weak spots in the woofschedule Ia in third class wools.Western Republans having fool.bshly accepted the committee's

amendment which provides thatthird clam shall be deemed to bescoured wools only when they con-tain 8 per cent or less of impurity.The adoption of this amendmentmeans that there wi not be a poundof scoured third class wool importedas such, as all of it will contain 8per cent or more of dirt. 2SenatorMantle tried hard to convince hiscolleagues of the danger of acceptingthis amendment and in referring toIt upon the floor of the senate stated"that it was not worth the paperupon which it was written." How-ever, upon the whole, the wooluched-ule is better now than it was whenit came from either the house or thesenate.

Senator Mantle's wool speech isbeing largely circulated, thousandsof copies having been sent out overthe states of West Va., Ohio, Ill.,Ind., and Minn., at the cost of sena-tors from those states who considerit one of the best ever delivered in thesenate upon the subject of wool.

A OrmdMa Cemsty Man Who Gets a New

Ceverdg Os sa Ver.

John H. Price of Granite has shedhid epidermis on the 24th of everyJul7 in his libe. His case has beencaMed to the attention of many phy-adcians, but none can account for it.This year Price came to Butte forhis annual moulting. Suaday morn-ing's Standard says:

John H. Price was promptly ontime with the prelimlnaries to hisananal skin shedding yesterday, andlate last alght the cuticle of his en-tire body was becoming loose.Price lives at 35 West Copper Street,and, in anticipation of the remark-able annual event, which has neversa 41 years failed to come betwetn 1

and 5 o'clock in the afternoon ofJuly 24, he quit work a few daysago. About 1 o'clock yesterdayafternoon he began feeling badlyand went to bed. In a few hours bebecame very dizzy and suffered fromnausea and became very sick. Fora time he was unconscious and hietemperature ran high. Dr. Bernhelmwas summoned and attended Price,but he had very little to say aboutthe case. Price was also attendedby his wife, who, knowing his needs,rubbed his body violently, while thecongestion of the blood in the skinwas taking place and, when he wasseen about 8 o'clock last evening bya Standard reporter, Price hadpassed what he called the dangerline and was beginning to recoverfrom his sickness.

The skin on the body was dry andwas beginning to loosen on the solesof his feet and he said it was separat-ing from the new skin which wasforming all over his body and thatby this morning he would be readyto throw off the whole shell. Indescribing his sickness which pre-cedes the shedding Mr. Price said hisfirst feelings were general depressingpains, followed by dizziness, nausea,and unconsciousness, then a forced,straining effort, succeeded by a tick-ing sensation like a shock of electric-ity, and then the illness is over andhe can feel the old skin looseningfrom the new all over his body.

After a few days be Is ready to goto work agaid in his new coat, butsometimes his feet remain so tenderthat he is compelled to wear the oldskin for moccasins for several days.The peculiar freak of nature has pus-sled doctors from all parts of thecountry and no one has been able togive a reasonable theory to accountfor it.
