MARCUS DALY FOR SENATE
Mining King of Anaconda Planning to Qo

from iMoiititnn.
Marcus Daly , the copper UlnR , having
tired of making other men's political for
tune * , tins decided to become the next
United States Bonator from Montana , to
succeed I-.cc Mantle , who will go out ot of-
tlcu next year. Ho has not Bald so himself ,
hut the ejlct has ROIIO forth , and all things
are being shaped accordingly , Rays a Helena
correspondent of the Kansas City Star.
This decision on Daly's part means politi
cal extinction to Charles S. Hartmnn , pres
ent congressman from Montana , ami to Leo
Mantle , the present senator , and the down
fall of Thomas II , Carter , the other senator ,
unless Carter , who la a. good provider hlm-
Hel' , shall land In so mo federal position before -
fore the crash , \
Marcus Daly Is the manager of the An
aconda mines and smelters , employing about
4,000 voters. In this position he controls
many other corporations and Influences
which carry at least 1,000 votes more. Ilu
has unlimited munny and spends It by the
hundreds of thousands to gain his objects.
Hli power was clearly shown In the capital
fight , In which ho nearly secured the capi
tal cf the state for tlio little mining camp
of Anaconda , with all the big places against
him.
him.Daly's politics are those of Marcus Daly
pure and simple. Ho liept Joe Toolc and then
-Martin Maglmils as delegated in congress as
long as It suited him. They wcro demo
crats. Ho then elected Tom Carter to con-
Krcsa by throwing the Anaconda vote to the
icpuhllcan ticket , and In a state which ,
until the last campaign , was nicely balanced
between the democrats and republicans in
i'ii total of 10,000otes , the Anaconda vote
was the talance of power. Then tiring of
Carter , ho elected his private attorney , AV.
AV. Dlxon , a democrat. Then came the sil
ver campaign and he threw his weight for
llnrtman , republican , and on the silver Issue
liartman received seven-eights of the vole
of the state.
AVIth Daly lu the race himself for the een-
ate , ho cannot cupport a republican , so , iu-
ntcMd , of Hartman being rcnomlnntcil by a
fusion party ho will only have the silver re
publicans. Daly Is just now a free silver
democrat , and the democrats are demanding
n man ot their own party lu congtess. Tills
will result In a straight democratic conven
tion , nt which Daly , a free allvcr democrat ,
v/Ill he nominated , and Daly men put on the
Htato legislative ticket. This Daly man will
probably ) > c 13. D. Matts , of MliMoula , other
wise known as the "bald eagle ot the Ilock-
les , " who does Daly's stump speaking for
him. The McICInlcy republicans will put
up a gold standard candidate for congress
to preserve their state organization , as they
did before , and the ellvcr republicans wilt
olthur b forced to herd by themselves with
liartman as the leader of their forlorn hope
or forsake Hartmau for the sliver demo
cratic nominee.
Any way the game may go liartman
seems to bo out ot the running and his bold
defection from the St. Louis convention will ,
after all , avnll him nothing. Montana Is
.for the Chicago platform and a straight
democratic convention i on that platform ,
with .Daly's Influcnco added , will rally a
largo majority nt the voters , regardless ot
jirevlous party affiliations.
In the meantime Senator Carter Is not
lillo. Ho has the patronage of the state at
hU disposal-owing to his refusal to leave
the St. Louis convention. Ho also has been
appointed to take charge of the census work
for IWO. lie will thus have a strong , well
organized force at work In every political
precinct to secure a republican or nt least
u Carter legislature in 1300 to return him
! | | to the senate. It Is not believed , however ,
hi with the nilvcr Issue and Marcus Daly
against him , ho can win , despite liU well
known energy and political shrewdness. IIo
Is now considered In Montana as being po
litically neither llsh nor fowl , anil has
alienated all except the pie faction from his
standard.
The present status In Montana would tn-
Olcnto the substitution of a free trade Bllver
democrat for a lilRh protection free ellver
republican In congrcos .next fall , nnd the
BHmci change In both members of the sunnto
as the places shall become vacant In 1000
nnd 1001 , respectively.

man ot Stockton , who haa Just returned
from San Francisco with the > Inform.jtlon
that a sale ot 210.000 gallons ot vine has
been made by the Angle-California hank to
the California Wlno assocatlou. The price
paid for the bulk of the lot wea 8 cents , and
the balance , Including the ctiolctnt dry wines
and about 10,000 gallons of port , was sacrificed
at 0 ccmts. The 8-cent price represents a
valuation on ordinary wlnos ready for ohlp-
mcnt , which would bo equivalent to not moro
than C coats for similar old wines In coun
try cellars , and deducting the coat ot deten
tion , racking and clarifying , It would repre
sent a valuation for simply now wines lu

Many dralera have anticipated a break In

WASHINGTON , Fob. L General Mcrrlam ,
under Instruction from Acting Secretary
Melklejohn o ( the War derjartmeot , yesterday
cpcnod at Seattle the dfi\itches ! brought by
Special Messenger Wells from Captain Ray ,
the department's special representative In
the Klondike , and forwarded an abstract ot
them to the department by telegraph. Ac'-
Ing Secretary Melklejohn was so much Im
pressed with the statements wired that he
submitted the dlispntch at once to Secretary
Algor. who U now convalescent at his home
from a long Illness , and after consultation
between these officials the fcoer was sent
over to the White House , where It formed
the subject of consideration by the cabinet
meeting today. It Is eald at the
department that the report of Cap
tain Ray fully Justifies all that has
been done by Secretary Algcr and Assistant
Secretary Melklejohn under the authority
conferred by congress to relieve the situa
tion In the Klondike. The report of Captain
Ray Is particularly acceptable In view of
the conlllctlng statements as to conditions
In the gold fields that have been made by
persons coming out this winter. It Is un
doubted that Captain Ray had a broader
field for observation than the others who
have made reports , mid with the thorough
ness and caution as to exact statements that
form the guiding principles of all army of
ficers when called on to make reports lu the
line of duty , th's ' report Is taken ao estab
lishing the facts for all the purposes.
The state of affairs In the Klondike , as
thus re\caled , Is worse than was suspected
at the War department und Indeed so largo
Is the task that remains to be executed In
order to ensure the safety ot life and prop
erty on the American side ot the line alone
that the War department olflclals have con-
cluJcd to advise congress as to 'tho ' facts
oii'l place upon the legislative branch the
duty of devising ways and means to meet
the exigencies of the cause.
The abstract of Captain Ray's report as
telegraphed Is as follows :
