List of CommitiloBcri
Is Named.
HELENA, Mont-. Feb. 28. (Special.)
The State Senate this afternoon adopted
the report of the committee-on finance
recommending: a substitute for the House
bill appropriating $35,000 for the St. Liouls
exposition. The substitute bill names an
appropriation of $12,000, which provides
that $23,000 of the appropriation shall be
come available during 1003, instead of
00, as provided In the House bill, and
that $7000, instead of $2000, shall be ap
propriated for the Portland Exposition.
The bill names the following: as the com
mission to have charge of the state ex
hibits: Lee Mantle, of Butte; Paul Mc
Cormick. of Billings; H. L. Frank, of
Butte; Major1 Martin McGinnls, of Hel
ena, and W. G. Conrad, of Great Falls. "
The alternates named by the bllj are:
Herbert McLeod, of Missoula; A. "B. Bab
cock, of Billings; "V". A. Clark, Jr., 'of
Butte; C. A. Thurston, of Glendive, and
John Harris, of Fort Benton.
(By a provision of the original bill the
St. Louis exhibit will be removed Intact
to Portland in 1$05. This practically gives
the Lewis and Clark Exposition the ad
vantage of the $42,000 which will be em
ployed In collecting the exhibit for the
Louisiana, Purchase Exposition at St.
Louis in 1901, and makes the actual
amount named for the Portland Fair
much greater than the figures would In
dicate at first glance.)

Exposition, Is authority for the statement

ed today Mr. Rouse is credited with say
ing that Thomas F. Walsh and James F.
Burns, millionaire mlneowners of Colo
rado, have each agreed to loan the com
missioners $500,000 in gold bars to be used
in carrying out the Idea.
EX GLAND TAKING AX IXTEREST.
President Franci' Visit Productive
of Good Result.
LONDON, Feb. 2S. The week that Pres
ident Francis, of the St. Louis Exposi
tion, has spent In England has had un
usually quick results in awakening inter
est in the exposition and among matters
generally. He has been the busiest man in
London, his suite of rooms at Claridge's
Hotel being continuously besieged by
those who were anxious to hear about the
St. Louis Exposition. By a series of va
ried dinners and luncheons, Mr. Francis
has succeeded In arousing the most in
fluential political, social and business cir
cles, from the King down, to a keen de
sire to have Great Britain well represented
at St. Louis. The DailyJ Mail goes so far
today as to declare thatthe government's
failure to take up the matter before now
In one more sign of lis "dllatorlness and
unbusinesslike Instincts In a matter of the
highest commercial importance to this
country." So well has Mr. Francis put
his case that the Daily Mall goes on to
pay that the $350,000 which the government
contemplates appropriating Is "utterly In
adequate to make any fitting representa
tion." adding:
"We regret to learn that there Is no real
appreciation on the part of the govern
ment as to. the commercial value of the
exposition. The Ministers appear to be of
the orinon that because of the American
htariff the matter has relatively small .Im
portance to our exporters. We vote mil-
2ns for Impossible, hopeless schemes ot
ij reform, and we vote only a tiny sum
tn undertaking which may well prove
Se the turning point In the commercial
rfare of the world. The nation should
slst on prompt and adequate attention
ulng given to the matter, which la certain
p prove, unless vigorous action Is taken.
melancholy object-lesson In British
lethods and British lack of enterprise."
FrancU Will Go to Purls.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2S. Governor Fran
cis is planning a rapid journey to Paris
and Berlin, cables the London correspon
dent of the Tribune. He hopes to meet
the President and the Emperor. The
British display at the St. Louis fair will
be inferior to that of France and Germany
unless greater interest is excited in Eng
lish manufacturing and Industrial circles.
The Governor has not yet succeeded in
commanding a hearing in London for the
exposition. His speech at the American
Society's dinner was not reported by the
English press, and he ought to go to
Manchester and repeat it before a pro
vincial audience. Professor Ives has the
British art exhibit well in band.
Kaiser "Will Receive Frnncls.
BERLIN. Feb. 28. President Francis, of
the St, Louis Exposition, has telegraphed
from London inquiring if Emperor Will
lam can receive him In audience next
Monday or Tuesday. The Emperor leaves
Berlin Monday for Wllhelmshaven and
Heligoland, returning on Saturday. Con
sequently an audience will be arranged
through the United States Embassy for
some time In the foregoing week, pro
vided Mr. Francis can stay here until
that time.

it is thought, on the negotiations now be

STATUS OF ISLE OF PIXES.
Under Government of Cuba Pending
Settlement With America.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The President
today sent to the Senate a report of the
Secretary of War upon the resolution re
questing information, as to the Isle of
Pines. The Secretary quotes from an In
dorsement made by the late Military
Governor of Cuba, who says that at the
date of transfer of the government of
Cuba the Isle of Pines was under the
municipality of the Province of Havana.
The Isle of Pines was transferred to the
de facto government of the republic of
Cuba pending the settlement by treaty
between the United States and Cuba. The
Island today Is under the control of the
Civil Governor of the Province of Ha
vana and the Republic of Cuba.
No special action was taken to protect
the Interests of the United States citi
zens who have purchased property and
settled In the Isle of Pines, because no
such action was necessary. All Americans
are In the same condition as other for
eigners. It was understood that when
they went there they took the risks Inci
dent to the situation. Secretary Root
says General Wood's indorsement
answers -all questions of the Senate.
TURNER READY TO SERVE.
Will-Go to London to Act on Alaska
Boundary Commission.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. Senator
Turner, of Washington, one of the mem
bers of the Alaskan Boundary Commis
sion, called upon the" President today. He
will retire from Congress at the close
of the present session, ilfc expects to re
turn Immediately to his home to settle
his private affairs, and then will proceed
to London, where the sittings of the com
mission are to be held. He will go prob
ably with the other members of the com
mission, Secretary Root and Senator
Lodge. It Is scarcely likely that the
work of the commission will begin before
July 1, and perhaps not until next Fail.
It Is not thought here in official circles
that the recent criticisms of the appoint
ment of Senators Lodge and Turner, said
to have emanated from the Canadian
government, represent accurately the feel
ing In Canada. It Is believed the commis
sion named by the President will meet
with no objections, so far as the Domin
ion government or Great Britain la con
cerned. CUSTOMS APPRAISER FIRED.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knovrs
That Salves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches Do
Not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and In
halers cannct really cure Catarrh, because
this disease is a blood disease, and local
applications, if they accomplish anything
at all, simply give transient relief.
The catarrhal poison Is in the blood and
the mucous membrane of the nose, throat
J and trachea tries to relieve the system
by secreting large quantities of mucus,
the discharge someUmes closing up the
nostrils, dropping Into the throat, caus
ing deafness by closing the Eustachian
tubes, and after a time causing catarrh
of stomach or serious throat and lung
troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must be
an Internal remedy which will cleanse tho
blood from catarrhal poison and remove
the fever and congestion from the mu
cous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
Jfor this purpose are antiseptics scienti
fically known as Red Gum, Blood Root
and Hydrastln. and while each of these
have been successfully used separately,
yet It has been difficult to get. them all
combined In one palatable, convenient and
efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new catarrh
1 cure, Stuart's' Catarrh Tablets, have suc
l ceeded admirably in accomplishing thi3
result. They are large, pleasant tasting
lozenges; to be dissolved In the mouth,
thus reaching every part of the mucous
membrane of -the throat and finally the
stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, opiate
or any injurious drug whatever and are
equally beneficial for litUe children and
adults.
Mr. C. R. Rembrandt, of Rochester, N.
Y., says: "I know of few peop! who
have suffered as much as I from catarrh
of the head, throat and stomach. I usee?
sprays. Inhalers and powders for months
at a time with only slight relief and had
no hope of cure. I had not the means to
make a change of climate, which seemed
my only chance of cure.
"Last Spring I read an account of some
remarkable cures made by Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and promptly bought a 50
cent rox from my druggist and obtained
such positive benefit from that one pack
age that I continued to use them dally
until I now consider myself entirely from
frcm the disgusting annoyance of catarrh;"
my hend Is clear, my digestion all 1 could
'isk and my hearing, which had begun to
fall as a result of the catarrh, has greatly
Improved until I feel I can hear as well
as ever. They are a household necessity
In my family."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
! druggists at SO cents for complete treat
j ment and for convenience, safety and
prompt results they are undoubtedly the
long-looked-for catarrh cure.
