(Special Correspondence.)-Now that the first session of the 55th congress has passed into history it natty not be amiss to refer to the work necom- plsbed. Outside of the tariff bill little legislation was enacted that would bmeitit our State. This is not surprislng when it is considered that the session was called for the ex- press purpose of framing a just tariff bill. For this re~aon very little at- tention was given to other legisla- tion and in fact it was impossible to secure consideration of any measure that was not of the highest impor- tance. What was true of the session just closed wan equally true of the short session which terminated on March 4th. At that session the work was confined to the appropria- tion bills and although all the time was consumed in their consideration four of them failed to become laws and were handed down to this ad. ministration as an inheritance. It is needless to say that a Republican administration passed the bills and no embarrassment followed. The Montana delegation was interested in a number of measures which had to go over with a mass of other bills on the calendar; but at the long see slon which convenes next December these matters will be taken up and disposed of. During the last hours of the session Senator Carter suc- ceeded in securing an appropriation of $i,000 for the Improvement of the Kootenal river In the vicinity of Jen- nings. In the Upper Kootenali river near Jenninlgs. is a rock upon which the "Runtler," "Ruth," and "Gwen- dollne." three steamers engaged in transporting lead ore from British Columbia, have been wrecked within the past year and this appropriation is to be used in removing the ob- atruetion. This is a matter of much importanee as all the ore which these steamers were under contract to carry was consigned to the Great Falls bonded smelter. Senator Maatle secured the pam- " of his blB providing for the erectiotr 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 ad wlB wro the perm ed a b pro- viding for holding two terms of the ii U. 8. court at Butte and two terms p at Helena' each year. This leaves l the matter in such shape that there I are no arbitrary division lines in the r state and the people can then con- I sult their own convenience and do c their business in whichever court is I nearest, thereby saving expense in l the matter of mileage, etc. It has dawned upon the senate that Montana has one of toe best I teams in that body. Senators Man- and Carter are recognized as leaders I on the floor and if any information c is desired in regard to public lands a or the laws relating to the same Sen- 1 ator Carter is sought as the source I from which reliable information can I be secured. If It it Information in re- gards to Indian affairs, mines or mining or wool, Senator Mantle is 1 called upon. These men have been identified with the west so long and have been so intimately connected with its development that they are I perfect encyclopaedias of knowledge upon every subject which pertains to the west. They are in perfect accord and if one be absent from the chamber he knows full well that his colleague is on the ground and will protect the Interests of Montana and her people. Senator Carter having supported Major McKinley, naturally has the dispensation of the federal patronage. This is an enormous task, but one which he is performingeheerfully and successfully. During the early days of the administration ex-Senators Sanders and Power, and Hon. O. F. Goddard sought to influence and shape these matters; but the slate made by this coterie and the num- erous recommendations filed by them failed to go through and the letters, eulogistic of those named for the various positions, are slumbering amongst the archives of various de- partments. So far as discovered no attention has been paid to their in- dorsements or recommendations, it being eonceded that Senator Carter is entitled to distribute the patron- age. Senator Mantle at the Inception of the administration, in fact during inaugaration week, tinformed Presi- dent McKinley that not having sup- ported him be Mt that be could -not consistently ask any favors in any way relating to sederal patromage, although he took oecaslon to say r that be sbonld take the liberty of eamrt apose I whmnever s mtters I 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 I should at all times be glad to see . him and would as far as possible I meet his wishes. In this connection r I may add that there has been nw disagreement between Senators Car-I ter and Mantle upon the question of patronage. If your readers will pardon the dligression I will endeavor to get back and write of the tariff bill which displaces theoutrageous"• or- man-Wilson" affair. During its dis- cussion both senators were very active, Senator Carter-being particu- larly so before the caucus and Com- mittee while Senator Mantle was l generally heard upon every proposl- tion, vis: lead, hides, barley, cyanide of potassium, lumber and wool, and upon every interest generally speak- ing in which the west was concerned and he was also very active in the general debate upon the bill. In speaking of the tariff I may refer to the fact that when the bill was pre- sented to the senate it only carried the provision for 1 cent duty on lead. This was too small and Senator Mantle immediately Introduced an amendment providing for a duty of 1% cents per pound. Senator Carter fought valiantly for this in the cau- cus and both senators working in unison, it was soon demonstrated that this was one of the amendments that had to stick and thanks to their preseverance it was incorporated in the bill, as was another important anmendment offered by Senator Man- tle providing that lead bullion from lead ores Imported into this country in bond shall either be re-exported, or the duty paid within six months after receipt of the ore. The next lively skirmish was over the hide proposition. The leather men backed by Senatore Lodge and Hoar and a number of other eastern senators put up quite a bluff and de clared openly that they would da. feat this provision. Mantle's amends meat took hides off the free list sad made them dutiable at 1% cents per pound, a specic rate. The ight was won by our men who outgener aled the eastern eontingent and while the duty has been made ad valosem ana placed at 15 per cent. still this is considered a fair rate of protetoa-- in fnet more tham the 1% cents pie , posed. The wool schedule was the tI Stmsy I.nterestlans prposptm and Swas made so by thesattpp stle Ilo the as.te e mf emsO r hv Mattle thought na tha provided they can get their "raw materials" at the lowest price. Sen- ators Carter and Warren were es- peclally active In carcus and in their work before the Finance committee in behalf of the woolguowers; but It is unlvssmar~ conceded here that the brunt of the fight upon the foor of the Senate esnted upe Se8sator Man- tie and that the Committee was largely infuenced, first, by his speech and second by the debate which he led upon the floor of the senate, in making changes which redound to the hbemet of the woelgrowere. His statements were eonvieinlr and not a odngle one was controverted. The adoption of 8enator Mantle's amendmeat providing for a double duty upon washed woolof theseond clams was unfortsnately struck out in conmerence upon the demand of the manufacturer.. The adoption of the -peclie inslsed of the ad valorem rate on third class wools I. a di tinct gain. The speciue rate of 4 eents, Is however, too low sad the dividing Ils of value, which is 12 enats, is too high, to affowd anp real pratection against the wholesal Im- portatiou of these wools and their ms in the mamorture of thecheaper grades of clothing. One of the weak spots in the woof schedule Ia in third class wools. Western Republans having fool. bshly accepted the committee's amendment which provides that third clam shall be deemed to be scoured wools only when they con- tain 8 per cent or less of impurity. The adoption of this amendment means that there wi not be a pound of scoured third class wool imported as such, as all of it will contain 8 per cent or more of dirt. 2Senator Mantle tried hard to convince his colleagues of the danger of accepting this amendment and in referring to It upon the floor of the senate stated "that it was not worth the paper upon which it was written." How- ever, upon the whole, the wooluched- ule is better now than it was when it came from either the house or the senate. Senator Mantle's wool speech is being largely circulated, thousands of copies having been sent out over the states of West Va., Ohio, Ill., Ind., and Minn., at the cost of sena- tors from those states who consider it one of the best ever delivered in the senate upon the subject of wool.

A OrmdMa Cemsty Man Who Gets a New Ceverdg Os sa Ver. John H. Price of Granite has shed hid epidermis on the 24th of every Jul 7 in his libe. His case has been caMed to the attention of many phy- adcians, but none can account for it. This year Price came to Butte for his annual moulting. Suaday morn- ing's Standard says: John H. Price was promptly on time with the prelimlnaries to his ananal skin shedding yesterday, and late 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 never sa 41 years failed to come betwetn 1 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon of July 24, he quit work a few days ago. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon he began feeling badly and went to bed. In a few hours be became very dizzy and suffered from nausea and became very sick. For a time he was unconscious and hie temperature ran high. Dr. Bernhelm was summoned and attended Price, but he had very little to say about the case. Price was also attended by his wife, who, knowing his needs, rubbed his body violently, while the congestion of the blood in the skin was taking place and, when he was seen about 8 o'clock last evening by a Standard reporter, Price had passed what he called the danger line and was beginning to recover from his sickness. The skin on the body was dry and was beginning to loosen on the soles of his feet and he said it was separat- ing from the new skin which was forming all over his body and that by this morning he would be ready to throw off the whole shell. In describing his sickness which pre- cedes the shedding Mr. Price said his first feelings were general depressing pains, 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 and he can feel the old skin loosening from the new all over his body. After a few days be Is ready to go to work agaid in his new coat, but sometimes his feet remain so tender that he is compelled to wear the old skin for moccasins for several days. The peculiar freak of nature has pus- sled doctors from all parts of the country and no one has been able to give a reasonable theory to account for it. Cau't 1ell by tLe Leeks.

"Yes," she answered; "I talked to the market man about that, and he said it was aeonomy in the end never to buy weak butter.
