MOXTAXA WILL BE HERE. Money for Exhibit to Be Bailed by Popular Subscription. HELENA, Mont, March 14. Special.) Montana will be represented at both the St Louis and Portland, Or., Expositions, despite the failure of the Legislature to make any appropriation therefor. Governor Toole today appointed a com mission to consist of "W. G. Conrad. Lee Mantle, H. L. Frank, Paul McCornrick, Martin Maginnis, B. F. White, F. A. Heinze, William Scallon, C. W- Hoff man, J. H. Rice. Conrad Kohrs. X. R. Peeler, a J. McNamara, . A. J. Davidson and T. L. Greenough to make all necessary and proper arrangements for the collection and installation of such ex hibits, as to them shall seem, expedient and proper as exemplifying the history and varied resources of tho state at said expositions. They are to solicit and re ceive all subscriptions for such exhibits; to expend and dlsburso the some and otherwise arrange, manage and control the exhibits, it being understood, how ever, that the creation of tho commission does not imply any authority to obligate the state to reimburse any subscriber for any mini subscribed. The appointments were made in a proc lamation, in which the Governor stated that the failure of the Legislature to make appropriations was due to the fact that the two houses could not tigree as to the method of naming the commissioners. The money will be collected under the so called Minnesota plan, dividing the amount to bo raised pro rata among the counties, and take chances on the next Legislature reimbursing the subscribers. The St Louis exhibit will, at the cloua of that affair, bo .transferred to Portland. Or., for tho Lewis and Clark Exposition.. Rnllnjr Funds at Billing. BILLINGS. March 14. (Special.) A movement is on foot in Billings, which, If carried out will result in J5W0 being sub scribed by citizens of this city toward a $50,000 fund for a Montana exhibit at the St Louis Exposition. Two gentlemen have already given their pledges for that amount and three others are on the list of probable 6Ubscribera, with strong prob abilities that they will come to the front Dewey Is Admiral "or' the Navy. WASHINGTON. March 14. President Roosevelt has transmitted to the Senate the nomination of George Dowey. U.-S. N.. to bo "Admiral of the Navy." Attention was recently called to a slight difference between the wording of Admiral Dewey's commission and the law of 1S9S. under which it was provided for. The commis sion of the Admiral reads "the Admiral in the Navy." whereas the law has It "Ad miral of the Navy." Accordingly a new commission has been made out for the Ad miral in accordance with the letter of.the law, and this necessitated' a new nomina tion and confirmation by the Senate. The Senate, before adjourning today, confirmed the nomination. MAY SETTLE AT CARACAS Allies Want to .Avoid. Arbitration Bowta Wants a Shovrdovrn. WASHINGTON. March 14. By the pro tocols which were signed February 13, Great Britain received a cash payment of $27,500; Germany was promised an ad vance payment of $340,030 in five monthly installments beginning one month from the date of the signing? and Italy was to be paid $27,500 two months from that date. Minister Bowen handed to the BrltlshEm bassy a check the -night the -protocol-was signed and It was arranged that Germany and Italy were to receive their, money at Caracas. What steps President Castro has taken to meet the obligations is not known here. Soma concern is felt here at the silence of the allied powers regarding the draft of Tho Hague protocol, which was mailed to them some weekd ago and the absence of any representation, on tho subject may mean that a plan is under consideration looking to the settlement at Caracas of the preferential question by President Castro and the representatives of the allied powers thore. There Is no Indica tion that tho Venezuelan President will consent to such a compromise, but it is believed that he will be approached in that connection. Mr. Boweh is strongly opposed to per mitting tho allied powers to escape from appearance at The Hague, but Inasmuch as the cost of a case at the tribunal would probably exceed the amount involved, the powers may seek some other mode of settlement Mexico Pays Promptly. WASHINGTON, March 14. Tho State Department has received from the Mexi can government $13,000. being the first in stallment of interest which is to be paid in perpetuity on account of the Pious Fund claims under the arrangement made by The Hague arbitration board In Octo ber last On July 8 there will be due the sum of $L-i20,6S2, representing the Interest which has accrued from the date of the Mexican Claims Commission down to the date of the award.

RELIGIOUS " LIBERTY ASSURED Author of Bill Under Which Treaty Was Negotiated Champion It Proposed Nevr Clause Providing for Gaard ot Canal. -After taklnr tho usual fruitless pre- -cautions to enforce secrecy regarding Its proceedings la executive "session, the Senate yesterday heard Spooner defend tbe canal treaty. Depew followed with a denial that the railroads were opposed to a canal. Bacon offered a substitute for the article relatlne to arraed protection of the canal and ships pairing through it. WASHINGTON, March 14. Without the transaction of any business in ooen session tho Senate today went into executive session. Previous to the closing of the doors the official stenographers and all xne employes of the official reoorter's of. fice were sworn to secrecy and when the doors were closed one of tbo reporters was Invited into the chamber to make a detailed report of the proceedings, with the understanding that it should be pub llshed after the vote on Tuesdav next. Senator Spooner began his speech on tne Panama canal treaty in reply to Senator Morgan as soon as the doors were closed. Departing somewhat from his usual directness, Mr. Spooner intro- ducecLbis -remarks -.with a ser!es.iof,cosa. pUmentary allusions to Senator Morean In "which ho touched upon Mr. Morgan's great -familiarity with all questions per taining to an inter-oceanlc canal as well as his generally acknowledged interest in that subject He spoke of the magnitude of the work in constructing a canal across tho Isthmus, which he expressed the ooin- lon the United States would soon enter upon, and which he said he believed met with the approval of a vast majority of me people of the united States. Much of his speech was legal In, char acter and was devoted to sustaining the point of view presented by Attorney-General Knox in his report upon the title which tho Panama Canal Company Is capable of making to tne canal property and franchises. Ho expressed the view that there could be no doubt that this company has come legitimately into pos session of the canal concession and he said that, having so acquired the prop erty. It has an undoubted right to trans fer it In turn to the United States or any other purchaser. Can't Question Credentials. Senator Spooner took issue with Senator Morgan as to the necessity of making in quiry into the credentials of Senor Her ran, who was Colombia's representative in the negotiation of the treaty with this country, saying that such a proceeding on the part of one country in negotiation with another would be most extraordinary and that It would certainly be resented. He contended that one country. In making BURDICK a treaty' with another, must recognize the de facto government of the other, and that it could not enter upon inquiry as to the origin or constitutionality of the oth er government. He also made reply to Senator Morgan's, references to tho relig ious affiliations of the Colombian govern ment.. Senator Morgan had contended that tho United States had practically al lied itself with the church party in Co lombia, and that 1 had in effect com mitted Itself to the terms of the concordat between Pope Leo and the Colombian gov ernment This view Mr. Spooner charac terized as entirely contrary to the facts. He said that under the treaty there would be no pretext for interference by the Co lombian authorities with the religious conduct or affiliations of Americans in the canal zone. He ridiculed the idea that by making a treaty with the government the United States could thus be accused of taking. a position against the-minority party or. tho party not In power, with which the agreement was made, and said that If a stricture of that kind was ap plicable in the present case, It would ap ply to our relations with many other countries whose people are adherents of the Catholic faith. Considers Title Good. In his discussion of the title of the Pan ama Canal Company, Senator Spooner traced the history of the proceedings con cemlng the canal concession in the French courts. Beginning with tho transference ot the original concession to De Lesseps In 1S79, he showed how in 1SSS, when the com pany opposed to De Lesseps had been in volved, the courts intervened, and, after appointing a liquidator, had authorized the negotiation of a new company, which is the .company from which the United States secures its title. Spooner contended or the regularity of every step taken. and therefore urged that the claim of title was perfectly good. Spooner claimed that the United States would have an Indisputable right to fort ify the canal, under the general provision of the treaty authorizing its defense. Toward the close of his address Senator Spooner was questioned by a number of Democratic Senators, particularly by Morgan. In reply to these questions, and also of nis own accord, Spooner said that there were some features of the treaty which he would prefer to have otherwise, but that the terms wero the best It had been possible to secure, and in view of the popular desire for an interoceanlc canal he believed that expediency demand ed that the treaty should be accepted as It had been sent to the Senate by tho President Spooner closed at 5:05 -o'clock, after speaking for just five hours. He was fol lowed by Depew, who read a written speech supporting the treaty as in the in terest of the people of the entire country. He referred to the criticism that the canal would be Injurious to the railroad inter ests of the country, and said, as a. rail road' -man, and mjiklhg claim to spiclat .knowledge on that subject ho was thor oughly convinced that such would not bo the case.
