HIS FIGHT AGAINST CLARK History of tho Montana Political Fucd Hctwcon tho Millionaire Mine Own ers—Its Origin ami Clark’s Final Triumph ai the Recent Glecilon. Ni:w York, Nov. 12.—Marcus Daly of Moiitaua died today at the Hotel Neth erlands. Mr. Daly's death has been expected for weeks. He came homo from Europe about tho middle of September and soon afterward was obliged to take tho bed from which ho never again ttro.se. His physicians informed his relatives some time ago that Mr. Daly could not re cover, and they gave assurances of life only from day to day. Eright’s disease, complicated with heart weakness, was the cause of death. Marcus Daly was born in •Ireland in 1842. He came to Urn United States early in life and since 1870 had been a citizen of Montana. He became general manager of the Alice silver luiuo and later came into control of tho Anaconda Coppermine. At the time of his death lie was president of the Aiaal ramated Copper company. In polities he was a Democrat. The ttolferouees between Mr. Daly and W. A. Clark have attracted much at tention. The trouble started years ago over some water rights near Butte, which Daly wanted ami which Clark bought, forcing the other to pay a very high figure. Daly’s opportunity for revenge came in 1SH8, when Ciarkc was the Demo cratic nominee for delegate to congress. With his immense influence at Ana conda Daly was able to throw a heavy vote to Carter, Clark’s Republican op ponent, which had p’cviously been cast for the Democratic’parfy. -Montana be came a state in 188U. At the first state election Clark was the Democratic nominee for representa tive in congress and J. K. Toole for governor. The latter was eh cted, but Clark was defeated, supposedly owing to Daly’s influence. Chirk was put for ward by his party for the United States r>anate. After a bitter contest the legis- latnre was organized by both parties, each claiming to be legal. The Repuli- **is named Thomas O. Powen, and \V. , Sanders for their senators while the Democrats put uo Clark and Major Mar tin MaUiuuis. Tho Republicans Were seated. Daly’s Second Victory. Mr. Daly’s influence defeated Clark in a second contest in Ihflii. In that legislature the Democrats had T3 votes, the Populists 3 and the Republicans 33. Tuc Daly Democrats, numbering !>, voted solidly for ex-Congressman W. Wr Dixon and there was a deadlock for the entire session of 00 days. Tele grams from men like Calvin S. Brice and W. C. Whitney and others equally high iu their party were sent to Daly to withdraw his opposition, but ho ignored them. The next fight between Daly and Clark was on the location of the state Capitol. Helena, Missoula, Bozeman and Auarouda were in the fight. Daly ad vocated tho last named place. Clark at first favored Butte, but finally changed to Helena ami it was chosen. Tho senatorship again became the bone of contention between the two millionaires last January and Clark was elected. Daly bad the validity of the elect ton contested on the ground of bri bery, when,Clark presented his creden tials to the United States senate. Tho use of money in an election was freely acknowledged on both sides, though it was claimed that the expenditures were for legitimate expenses only. The con test resulted in the senate voting that there had been uo election by tho Mon tana legislature. Clark’s Final Triumph. This year Clark made a fight for tho election of members of the legislature in his interests and won. His return to the United States senate next January is assured. k No mining property has aehievod greater fame as a producer of dividends than the famous Acaoonda. Originally bought as a silver mine it became fa mous for its copper and to it both D*)y and Chirk largely owe their vast for tune*. Back in the seventies two miners named Hickey went to Montana. They selected a hill overlooking tho little mining camp of Butte and began to sink their shaft. They struck a fair vein of silver, but lack of funds made them stop work ami oiler to sell. Marcus Duly bought tho property for $35,000. He acted, it is said, as agent for J. B. Haggin of California. As the new owners ran their shaft down they opened one of the world’s greatest copper mines with silver enough to pay all expenses and having the cop per as clear profit. Daly was superin* dent and part owner of the iniue. Ho .bought the adjacent property. Ho ’ founded tho town of Anaconda in a valley 25 miles distant, and located where there is an exhanstless supply of water and great deal of wood —two iu- di*i>onsnblcs for the smelting and reduc tion of ores. At that place ho erected the greatest copper plant iu the world, Duly had a passion for horses of blood and speed. Ho owned the $10,000 eolt, Hamburg, Tammany, Montana, Sena tor, Gwendoline, Ogden, and other fa mous winners. He tried to buy the win ner of the derby and Ascot race of 1807, Galtou More, but his otfer of $12<>,000 was not accepted. Death of Henry Villard.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 1*2.—The Northern Courier, a journal with radi cal tendencies, commenting on tho re sult of tho election iu the United States, expresses the opinion that the fact that President McKinley’s re-election did not cause uneasiness abroad is sufficient proof that America remains peace loving in spite of imjierialism, and that tho world understands this.

Sentiment of the Native. s Washington, Nov. 10.—Major Gen* era! MucArthur, commander-in-chief ol the United States forces in the Philip pines and military governor of the islands, has submitted his report to the war department. A considerable por tion of the report relates to events which took place previous to the date when he assumed command, and he publishes some of the correspondence and procla mations of the Filipinos obtained before that time. He refers to the change iu Aguinaldo’s plans in abandoning his army organiza tion and starting a guerrilla warfara The conditions of the country have af forded advantages for such a policy, he says, as they have enabled the insurg ents to appear aud disappear at their convenience. At one time they are soldiers and im mediately afterward within the Ameri can lines iu the attitude of peaceable na tives. A widely scattered formation of Filipinos quickly followed the guerilla warfare, which led to a corresponding dissemination of the American troops, thcro being 53 military stations iu the archipelago Nov. 1, 1899, and 413 sta tions Sept. 1, 1899. This resulted iu a large number of minor affairs, many of which did not assume the dignity of a regular combat, though the casualties between the dates stated were 268. Americans killed, 750 wounded and 53 captured, the Filipinos losing during tho same time 3,227 killed (>;t4 wounded and 2,804 captured. General Mac Arthur says the extousivo distribution of troops has strained the soldiers of the army to tho full limit of endurance. He says tho apparent desultory work has de manded more of discipline and us much of valor as was required during the pe riod of regular operations against con centrated field forces of insurrectionists, General McArthur’s report says than tho troops amidst all labors aud hard ships are content. Would Accept American Supremacy. The Filipinos, tho report says, left to themselves would gladly accept the American supremacy. The Americans are making as many friendly overtures as is compatible with the conditions. The Filipinos have been maddened dur ing the past fivo years by rhetorical so phistry and stimulants applied to na tional pride until the powers of public coutentmeut have been nearly sus pended. As a substitute for all other couslderations tho people seem to bo actuated by the idea that in all doubtful matters of politics or war men are never nearer yight than when going with their own kith aud kin regardless of conse quences. This condition, ho says, has raised difficulties aud other obstructions in pacification. The effort to institute mu nicipal government in American auspices carried tho idea of exclusive fidelity to the United States, but this met with difficulties where Filipiuos were placed entirely in control and secret municipal governments were organized in various towus under insurgent auspices to pro ceed simultaneoysly with tfio American governments and often through tho stimo personnel. Presidents and town officials acted openly in behalf of Amer icans and secretly iu behalf of tho in surgents and paradoxical as it may seem with considerable apparent solicitude for tho interest of both. The report says success of tho guerrilla system de pends upon complete unity of action among the native population. Tnat there is such unity is franklygickuowl- edged, but how it is brought about Gen eral MacArthur says he is unable to as certain. Intimidation acc >uuts for tho condition to some extent, but fear would not bo successful as the only motive. A Remote i’ossibilhy. General MucArthur quotes captured insurgents to show that their leaders in- timidato flic people. They say that the education of the Filipinos but indicates that this will take a great deal of time aud patience aud an adequate force. In closing his report. General Mc Arthur, after speaking of the establish ment of a republican form of govern ment in the islands, said: “In the light of existing conditions it is difficult to realize that there is any possibility of such a future for the islands, especially so at the present and for many years to come, the necessity of a largo American military aud naval force is too apjiareut to admit of discus sion. On the other hand, however, there are many encouraging conditions to sustain such a conclusion. For ax- ample, iu the Philippines no organized efforts are being made to effect any par ticular scheme; the general mission is to kill and destroy. “As a future thought in the name di rection, it may be suggested that tho Aryan races are making their way back into the old continent, which as a con sequence Is likely within a generation more to become the healer of gigantic politic activities. Up to this the prac tical effect of republican institutions has not been considered in this oouuoo- tion. But the rapid extension of re publican civilization these associations, which not only made possible but prob able, of necessity mast exert an active and potent influence upon the affairs of Asia, which, under the inspiration of American Ideas as transmitted through Filipiuos, may yet exhibit the great po litical wonddrs. It shows not a broad conception perhaps, but it is attracting the attention of those hoping for better things in ths east. ” , Accompanying General MacArthur a report are the reports of the various staff officers under his command.
