BUTTE, Moat., Sept. 27. With a
speech at Anaconda, made late today,
and two in this city tonight, Senator
Fairbanks concluded his Becond day
in Montana. The itinerary for the day
covered the line of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad from Billings to this
point, and the party passed from the
Upper Yellowstone country into the
Gallatin Valley, crossing: then the con
tinental divide and arriving: at Butte
very little after schedule time.
In addition to Anaconda and Butte,
stops for speeches were made at Big:
Timber, Livingston, Bozeman and
Whitehall. At all of those places, ex
cept Bozeman, practically the entire
population turned out to welcome the
Vice-Presidential candidate and his as
sociates, and the exception at Boze
man was caused by a misunderstand
ing: of the time of arrival. At Living
ston and Big Timber, the school chil
dren were marshaled for especial dis
play and formed a noticeable feature
of the meeting.
Addresses were made at all the stop
ping points by Senators Fairbanks and
Dolliver and ex-Senator Carter and in
each Instance their remarks were fre
quently punctuated by applause. In the
tt"Ht the speeches were along general
lines and consisted largely of appeals
to sustain existing conditions by voting
the Republican ticket. At Whitehall,
the train backed slightly while Sen
ator Fairbanks was speaking, and he
made an Instantaneous hit by remark
ing, 'This must be a Democratic train
as it shows a disposition to move back
wards." At Bozeman. the speaking platform
was erected on the street immediately
under the windows of the law office of
ex-Congressman Hartman, who was
one of the leaders of the Silven Repub
lican bolt in 189G. He listened to the
speeches from his windows, and one of
the things he heard was denunciation
by Senator Dolliver of the Democratio
party for deserting the silver men at
the last convention and an invitation
to those remaining out to return to the
Republican fold. There was some delay
at Bozeman, and in order to make up
the time lost, a very rapid run was
made across the Gallatin Valley, the
speed at one time reaching 68 miles an
hour.
Cordial Reception at Anaconda.
The reception accorded the party at
Anaconda -was extremely cordial, and
the Margarot Theater, In which the
meeting at that point was held, was
filled to overflowing. The streets be
tween the railroad station and the
theater were lined "with people and
much enthusiasm was displayed. The
employes from the Immense smelter
of the Amalgamated Copper Company
were present at the meeting in large
numbers. Ex-Senator Mantle and Con
gressman Dixon occupied 'prominent
plaoes on the stage at Anaconda, as
they did alBO at Butte.
The Panama Canal question was
among the Issues discussed at the Ana'
con da meeting by Senator Fairbanks,
and on that point he said:
"The oppostlon condemns the moth
ods by which the President secured tho
necessary rights and franchises to con
struct and maintain the Panama Canal,
but they cheerfully accept the fruit
of his effort and promise to carry on
the great work. The President ac
knowledged the Independence of the
people of Panama, in the proper exer
else of his constitutional powers. He
acted within our treaty rights when he
protected the lives and property of
American citizens upon the isthmus.
His prompt action haB made possible
the early completion of the canaL He
has not acted in contravention of the
executive duty or our National interest
He has earned praise, not censure, by
his timely, wise and courageous
course.
While Senator Fairbanks was speak
ing at Anaoonda, a photographer
touched off a fleshlight, causing the
Senator to say: 'That fitly typifies the
disappearance of the Democratic
party." When the photographer stepped
aside he replaced a large photograph
of Lincoln, which he had removed,
whereupon the speaker remarked that
no more appropriate act could follow
the disappearance of Democracy.
Dwells on Tariff Question.
At Butte the party was also cordially
greeted and the entire population ap
peered to be on the streets or at the
theaters In which the two meetings of
the night ere held. At the Grand The
ater in 3utte, where Senator Fair
banks, first spoke ho dwelt upon the
tariff question, referring especially to
the tariff on lead ore. On the latter
point he said In part:
"Ono of -the wise provisions of our
protective law is that which imposes
a duty on lead ore. Tho miners of the
jrreat Rocky Mountain regions, and
elsewhore said: Tf you will placo an
ndoauate protective duty on lead ore.
you will stlmulato the mining industry
In tho United States; you will open old
mines closed by the Democratio policy
and start now ones, and thereby glv
remunerative employment to- a vast
army of wage-earners..
We "believed the claim to be well
founded. We acted upon the assumption
that an adequate duty on lead ore
would stimulate the mining industry
and we therefore Imposed a sufficient
duty to protect the industry against
foreign competitors who were able to
hire their labor at less wages than we
would either ask or desire our miners
to accept.
"The Republican party believes' not
only in well-employed labor, but in
well-paid labor also. We believe I
that policy which affords the Ameri
can "wage-earners an opportunity to
lay by something: for the futut which
will ename tnem to support tneir ram
tiles and educate their children, and
have something left to meet their" fu
ture needs.
"I the Democratio policy receives
the approval of the American voters
and the protective tariff Is overthrown;
If the Republican duty on lead ore is
stricken down. It will affect injurious
ly the mining industry, not only of"
Montana, but elsewhere."
DISCUSSES THE WOOL TARIFF
Fairbanks 8hows Democratic Policy
Would Be Disastrous,
mo TIMBER. Mont. Sept. 27. 3enator
Fairbanks discussed the wool tariff in
his first speech of the day, made at tnis
point at 8:30 o'clock this morning. A
light rain was falling, and the air was
decidedly chilly, but despite this fact
the attendance was large, and those pres
ent mve close heed to all that was said.
The meeting appropriately was held in
a lartre wool warehouse by tne siae or.
the railroad track, in which President
Roosevelt had also spoken, and the
speaking took place from an elegantly
decorated stage in the center of the
bulldinsr. Tho only seats in the building
were given over to the school children,
who were present in force with their
teachers. On the wool question faenator
Fairbanks said:
It is the policy of the Republican par
ty 60 far as possible to diversify industry
throughout tho United States. It has
sought to stimulate the establishment of
new industry by means of protection. It
believes in encouraging heep husbandry
and in stimulating the production of
woolen goods in the United States.
"There is no good reason why tne
American farmer should not be able to
produce the wool necessary to meet our
great and expanding domestic needs. We
should not turn over woolgrowlng for our
uses to the farmers of Australia, tho Cape
of Good Hope, the Argentine Republic or
elsewhere. We should not pursue a pol
icy which destroys the American flocks,
but on the other hand should by the ap
plication of the protective principle en
courage sheepralsing In our own country.
There is a radical difference" between the
parties upon this important subject. The
difference is not found only in tne plat
forms adopted by them, but in the legis
lation of Congress.
The Democratic party stands by its
traditional doctrine of free raw material.
It placed wool on the free list in its last
tariff measure and thereby drove millions
of sheep to the slaughter-houses of the
country. The value of the flocks decreased
and the price of wool declined rapidly
and sharply. It is estimated that there
were la January, 1893, 47,000.000 head of
sheep, worth 5125,000.000. Three years
later the number had fallen to about 37,
000,000, and $67,000,000 In value, a loss of
more than 10,000,000 In the number and a
shrinkage of 558,000,000 in value.
"With the return of the Republican
party to power and the restoration of
the protective principle, the flocks were'
increased until January L 103. we had
nearly 64,000.000 sheep, worth $163,000,000.
Wool values were similarly affected. It
is estimated that the wool clip in 1892
was worth $79,000,000. and four years
later it had shrunk $46,500,000. Now It is
more than double in value than at the
close of the last Democratic administra
tion. "No people have suffered more under
the hostile Democratic administration to
ward sheepralsing and the wool industry
than the people of this state, and no
one has been more benefited than the
Democratic leaders by the policy. Dur
ing the last Democratic administration
wool here was worth 7 to 9 cents per
pound. Now it Is 17 to 20 cents. Sheep
which were worth eight years ago $1.75
a head are now worth from $3 to $3.50.
We stand face to face with tho ques
tion as to whether we shall overthrow the
Republican party, under which the wool
industry has been put upon a profitable
basis, or whether we shall return to the
Democratic policy which so greatly in
jured It. No" state would be more seri
ously injured than Montana if the Demo
cratic policy should receive the sanction
of the law. Democratic triumph means
to put in serious jeopardy the sheep in
dustry." Senator Dolliver also made a brief
speech.
Only Approach to an Accident.
WHITE HII.T Mont, Sept 27. The
only approach to an accident that has oc-,
curred on Senator Fairbanks tour oc
curred today at Logan, in this state. It
consisted in breaking off of the top steps
on one side of the private car Fdgemere.
There was a brief stop at this point and
the lower step was let down. When the
train started, it struck, the station plat
form, resulting in the demolition of the
entire series of steps. Colonel Ransdell
stood on the steps, but escaped without
injury. Senator Fairbanks was still
standing on the station platform, and did
not seek to enter tho car until the train
came to a full stop again.
Will Ignore Dubois' Challenge.
BUTTE, Mont, Sept 27. (Special.)
Senator Fairbanks will not consider" the
challenge of Senator Dubois to debate
the subject of polygamy. When the mat
ter was brought before him the Senator
first pleaded that he could not spare the
time to be interviewed upon any subject
.uaxer ne saia tnat ne nan not seen a
newspaper fop some time, and Intimated
that Senator Dubois' Invitation to debate
the question was news to him. Senator
Fairbanks, when pinned down to a posi
tive answer on the question, replied that
he would not take the tune to talk about
the matter.
DEFENSE OF CUNEEN
Declares He Is Not on New York
Boards Accused of Extravagance.
ALBANY, N. Y., Sept 27. Attorney
General John Cuneen, the only Demo
cratlc member of the present state ad
ministration, tonight issued a state
ment in answer to the recently-pub
lished challenge of Governor Odell, in
which the latter was quoted as having
asked: "If the perversion of public
funds, about which so much was said
in the Democratio platform, has been
going on at Albany during the last
four years, what has the Democratio
party been doing?" and alleged that
the Attorney-General "is a member of
nearly all the state boards."
Mr. Cuneen asserts he is not a mem
ber of any of the state boards against
which the Democrats have charged ex
travagance and perversion of public
money, and he declares that during the
two years of his term as Attorney
General he has "repeatedly advised
Governor Odell that appropriations of
public money made by the Legislature
were unauthorized by the constitution,
but he has ignored my advico and
given such appropriations his ap

ST. LOUIS DRAIN TOO GREAT
Chief of Insular Affairs, However, Is
Convinced Islands Should Be
Represented, and Hopes Gov
ernment Will Help.
WASHINGTON. Sent 27. Colonel Ed
wards, Chief' of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs, War Department replying to an
Inquiry from W. H. Hills, chairman of the
Government Board of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, as to the participation by the
Philippine government at tho Portland
Fair, says that In view of the great bur
den caused by participation in the St
Louis Fair and the money and effort it
has cost the Philippine government feels
constrained, with much regret, to decline
participation in the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. The Colonel says that much
as it would like to make an exhibit on the
Pacific Coast because of its proximity to
the islands, yet the Philippine government
does not feel warranted in spending an
other dollar for that purpose in the United
States at this time.
Colonel Edwards suggests, however.
that an adequate Philippine exhibit might
be made upon the specific condition that
no expense attach to the Island govern
ment And has submitted a proposition
which, however, must first be submitted
to Civil Governor Wright at Manila, for
bis approval, and is that the Government
Board set aside $10,000 and the Lewis and
Clark Exposition place $50,000 at the dis
posal of the War Department's repre
sentative, who shall have charge of the
exhibit the exhibit to be selected by a
committee composed of two members of
tho Philippine Exposition Board and a
representative of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition.

AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say
The Columbia Performances.
"Never" Is the word.
Never In stock In this city has a more
bewitching play been produced than "The
Jilt" as it is now running at the Colum
bia. Never has there been as good a stock
company in Fortland as the company
that Is now playing this fetchlnar Bou-
clcault comedy at this beautiful Columbia
Theater.
Best of all, the town seems to realize
these facts, and the people are filling the
theater at every performance.
At a moderate outlay, the privilege 'Is
given to everybody to see this master
piece of the cleverest playwright of the
last hundred years acted by a positively
superD stocK company.
Tho smooth, finished, stunning per
formances oi tne Columbia stock Com
pany remind one of the palmy days in
New York of tho incomparable Wallack
Stock Company, wherein Lester Wallack,
Ada Dyas, Rose Coghlan, Harry Mon
tague and all those revered ones- held
undisputed sway.
When the record of this season has been
written and read, and has passed Into
history, in the future people will be heard
sighing again for the winter of 1901-5,
when the first grandly complete and well
balanced Columbia Stock Company won
Its spurs and was crowned with the high
est laurels that Portland could give.
Then will be heard longing sighs for a
return of the witching art of Cathrlne
Countiss, the robust and winning power
of Edgar Baume, the beautiful eloquence
of Rose Eytlnge's presence, the swell
Engllshness of Edith Angus, the violin
music of Louise Brand's voice, the Ethel
Barry more swagger of Marlon Carlyle,
the wlnsomeness of Roy Bernard, the lov-
ableness of Donald Bowles' inimitable
manner, the spankablllty of George
Bloomquest's deviltry, the delicious hu-
mor of William Dills, the artistic cha'rae

ald, commenting on recent occurrences
at Tamlngf u, Province of Pechlll, where
a number of American missionaries had
to leave owing to the threatening atti
tude of the Boxers said: "It ought to
be mentioned that news of such threat
ened risings travels swiftly and loses
nothing during its passage. Its effect
many hundreds of miles distant from
the scene of action has been Imme
diately felt As we said in 1900, so
again we repeat with added emphasis,
there Is danger of a general conflagra
tion unless the utmost vigilance is ex
ercised. Those Interested in preventing
such an outbreak, we remark, as we
did then, will govern themselves ac
cordingly.") CARSH0PS ABE CLOSED.
