SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN. Helena, Sept. 24. The supreme court will decide the question of the regularity or irregularity of the grand jury of Silver Bow county that indicted V. D.

Clark, chairman of the board of county commissioners. The court will hear evidence upon the point and render a decision in the prohibition proceedings brought by Clark in that court, in which Clark undertook, through his attorneys, C. F. Kelley and E. S.

Booth, to secure a writ of prohibition to prevent his prosecution in Butte under the indictment. Today the court decided to hear evidence and settle the question, and it gave the attorneys for the state and the petitioner, Clark, 10 days each within which to file a transcript and present the matter. It was also stipulated that the parties should have more time for this purpose in case 10 days were not enough. The court yesterday passed upon the application of Clark to have the alternate writ of prohibition made permanent, and denied it. If the decision on the question of the legality of the grand jury is that it was regularly constituted, that will conclude the proceeding in the supreme court adversely to Clark, and the proceedings in the district court of Butte will be resumed.

A remarkable case of suppression of news has just come to light here and the matter is causing a good deal of comment in the town.

September 4 Jack Clifford, an ex-convict, it is said, who was a prisoner in the Beaverhead county jail on the charge of attempting to loot the Bart hardware store in this city, made his escape from the jail by cutting a hole with some sharp tool through the sheet iron ceiling of his cell, and then breaking through the concrete roof of the jail. Nothing was said about the prisoner's escape at the time, and the fact was not public property here until late last night. It is said that Clifford broke out of the jail at a time when all the officials were absent. Just what were the reasons of the officials for the suppression of the news of the man's escape are a matter of conjecture, but it is believed there was politics in it. No trace of the fugitive has been obtained since he got out of the jail.

1 KILLED; 2 INJURED BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 24.

UNDER FIR Assault by Land and Sea on the Russian Fortress.

GEN. ORLOFMS OUT Incompetent Who Caused Defeat at Liao Yang Is Dismissed. St. Petersburg, Sept. 24.

Major General Orloff, who has been held responsible for the retreat of the Russian forces from Liao Vang, has been dismissed from the army. The action was taken in accordance with a decision of General Kuropatkin. HEARD FIRING. Chee Foo, Sept. 24.

The steamer Victoria, which arrived here this evening from New Chwang, heard heavy firing at Port Arthur this morning, the firing being on the east side of the city. The steamer was twice stopped by Japanese warships, but was only briefly delayed. NO FIGHTING. St. Petersburg, Sept.

24. A dispatch from Kuropatkin dated yesterday announces that not any of the Russian detachments were engaged during Thursday, JAPANESE ADVANCE SLOWLY. Mukden, Sept. 23. (Delayed.) The Japanese continue their advance northward with extreme slowness.

General Kuroki's headquarters is close to Pensihu, about 35 miles east of Liao Yang. A Turkestan regiment is reported to have killed eight Japanese cavalrymen in the brush near Yen Tai. Junks are coming up the Liao ivet regularly with supplies. The return of Lieutenant General Ren-ntnkampf to the command of the cavalry division has been signalized by renewed activity on the part of the Russians. STORMING FORTS.

Paris, Sept. 24. The Matin's St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as follows "Telegrams of which the general staff have as yet no knowledge reached the czar at 4 o'clock this morning. I can affirm that they concern Port Arthur, regarding which the greatest anxiety prevails at court.

The Japanese are now engaged in a general assault, which is more furious than its predecessors, attacking the town on three sides simultaneously and employing their whole forces, being determined to finish the business. Russian mines blew up whole battalions. General Fock especially distinguished himself, directing the fire from the wall, which the Japanese reached after indescribable massacre. "The whole of Admiral Togo's and Vice Admiral Kainimura's squadrons are aiding the struggle, which, it is feared, will be final. The besieged forces are fighting as in a furnace.

A perfect storm of shell is falling on the town, port and fortress from the whole hill and roadside. General Stoessell is going from fort to fort encouraging the defenders in their desperate efforts. "In St. Petersburg the facts concerning the tragic event which perhaps will terminate by a glorious fall of Port Arthur, are wholly unknown. At court hope has not yet been entirely abandoned." MAY NOT RESIST.

St. Petersburg, 24. Absence of detailed reports from the seat of war, despite the important character of events that are believed to be developing around Mukden, leads to the supposition that General Kuropatkin may after all not seriously contest the Japanese advance and that the long expected battle at Mukden may turn out to be merely a rear guard action on a large scale. General Sakharoff reports that the' Japanese army is moving from Bentziaputze toward Fu pass, a village six miles northeast of Mukden and near the right bank of the Hun river. The river at this point is shallow, and probably for this reason the locality has been selected by the Japanese forces.

If the Japanese gain a foothold at Fu pass, General Kuropatkin's position at Mukden will he insecure, as the Japanese will thence be able to threaten the Russian line of communication. Fu pass is only 20 miles north of Bentziaputze, but at the present rate of progress the Japanese will probably 'occupy four or five days in traversing these 20 miles. The Russian force south of Mukden is believed to consist of only one army corps, which is acting as a rear guard. There has been an improvement in the weather at Mukden. The advance forces of two Japanese armies occupy the Yen Tai mines and the villages of Yen Tai and Sandenu.

The front of these three armies is protected by an outpost screen, which the Chinese are not allowed to pass. A small Japanese detachment is moving along the left bank of the Liao river in order to protect junks. The same dispatch reports that Chinese bandits are openly siding with the Japanese. The weather at Mukden is rainy and windy and cold has prematurely set in. May Be Only a Rumor.

Nothing is known at the admiralty of i the reported sailing of the cruiser Grotno-boi out of Vladivostok to capture a Japanese transport, supposed to be a sailing ship. According to the present status of the negotiations of the United States and Great Britain with Russia on the matter of contraband of war, foodstuffs alone have been formally declared conditional contraband. Russia has notified Great Britain that she has no intention to depart from her original view that coal is absolutely contraband. At the same time it is understood that Minister Lamsdorff has (Continued on Page Six.) DISSATISFIED WITH TREATMENT AT HEINZE'S HANDS. HIS HONOR IS DISGRUNTLED Surprise for the Habitues of the Butte Hotel Headquarters.

There is more trouble in the camp of the United Copper forces. Judge William Clancy, war-horse of the llcinze populists, has kicked over the traces and gone at the head of the concern, hammer an tongs. Considerable surprise is express among the henchmen of the New Jer corporation at Liberty Hall at the une peeled outbuilt of the pre-eminent jurist. It has been known for some time that the judge was numbered among the dissatisfied, but nobody suspected he would come out openly and denounce the head of the corporation for which he has labored so assiduously. Judge Clancy yesterday is reported as having stated that he was certain llcinze had sold out his properties and would take no further interest in Montana at the end of this campaign.

Maybe He Is Out of It. There are various reasons assigned for this statement by Clancy. It is supposed the judge thinks he is to be left oil" the slate when it is made up by the fusion forces, or that he is gently hinting that something is coming to him by way of olliee or otherwise. In either case it look if the judge were pulling out of the United Copper contingent, or had been reiuested to pull out. In Liberty hall the wise ones say that there is no longer any doubt that Tom Hinds has been slated for superintendent of schools and Jack lloy for county surveyor.

Both of these men are said to have expressed satisfaction at the ruling of the chief, and consequently some of the trouble anticipated in the ranks of the populists is thought to have been averted. After a conference between the lieutenants and the big chief it has been decided to hand the fusion bunch over to the guidance of Max Fried, who has been constituted campaign manager of the United Copper forces. In consideration of his work and peculiar qualifications Fried has been promised a berth as coroner, his first duty being to bury the party on the day after election. What They Got. After all, the apprehensions of the llcinze delegates in the Helena expedition, in regard to a reward for their trouble, were unfounded.

Each of the delegates received $25 cash in addition to his railway fare and board. The one inconvenient about the provision made by the head of the Copper company was that he appointed one of his trusted lieutenants to look after the commissary department and entrusted all of the meal tickets to his care. As a consequence there was considerable grumbling among the delegates when at meal time they were forced to bunt up the commissary general and strike him for the card which gave them the right to eat. Once or twice he was absent at meal lime and the delegates were forced to await his return with unsatisfied stomachs. Providing John MacCinniss gels up in time and Max Fried is feeling well enough to work, the Fried-Mac( iinniss democrats, commonly known as the "rumps," will hold a meeting in the Family Theater at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

The game, as it is laid out at present, is to appoint a conference committee to confer with similar committees from the other wings of the United Copper clique in regard to the division of the spoils. Following the appointment of the committee, the meeting will adjourn until Wednesday at 1 o'clock, when, the slate having been arranged in the meantime, the F'riedmcn of the community will put up their county ticket. It is thought resolutions may lie introduced in the interest of Campaign Manager Fried to remove the United Copper from Liberty hall to the Cash lodging house. The maddest man in the entire aggregation of workers for the Xew Jersey corporation is General Warren, who, having been left out in. the cold, declares that the gaff was thrown into the members of the Ileinzc republican party in a way they will not forget for some time to come.

The general thinks he is cutting about as much figure in the campaign as a white chip in a jackpot and those who have been following the movements of the Heinze outfit feel inclined to agree with him. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the forces had not yet begun to rally at Liberty Hall and John MacCinniss has not yet put in an appearance. One or two of the file-closers were in. evidence but there were no signs of the great event scheduled to take place later in the afternoon. Two men in the lobby were holding an animated discussion on the proposition of Sunday closing for the theaters.

A small boy was assiduously plying his trade of selling chewing gum guaranteeing "a full length portrait of John MacCinniss taken at the moment he discovered he was a democrat," with every package. With his usual flash of genius, which this time proved to be a flash in the pan, Max Fried, manager of the United Copper campaign, today imported a number of the delegates who served in the regular democratic convention with the idea that he could make use of them in the meeting which he and John MacCinniss are pulling off at the Family Theater this afternoon. The scheme was to use a number of honest democrats in misrepresenting facts, at which the United Copper manager is particularly facile. A day or two ago agents were dispatched into the surrounding country armed with a list of names of the delegates to the regular democratic convention and told them that the regular democrats had been called to convene for the second time this afternoon that the meeting would take place in the Family Theater and that the county ticket would then be nominated. Believing the injunction of the United Copper agents, that they "would have to hurry," a number of innocent ranchers, who would not for any consideration be (Continued on Base British Steamer Crusader Seized and Sent to Hakodate.

HY ASSOCIATED PRESS. San Francisco, Sept. 24. The (Merchants' Exchange has received a cable message from a London firm stating that the British steamer Crusader, bound from Oregon ports for the far east, has been captured by the Japanese and taken to Hakodate. The Crusader sailed from Astoria, September 2 for Shanghai.

LUMBER AND LATHS. Portland, Sept. 24. The British steamer Crusader, reported captured by the Japanese and taken to Hakodate, cleared from this port August with 2.880,674 feet of lumber and ,3.000 bundles of laths. Her cargo was valued at $26,050.

The vessel was under charter to the Pacific Export Lumber company and the cargo was consigned to merchants in Shanghai and Taku, At the office of the Pacific tier company no reason for F.xport Lum-the reported seizure could be ascertained, was loaded with a neutral cat'; The vi-scl in, consigned i neutral po t-i, and sailed under a flag. A large portion of her cargo was consigned to the Paul company of Shanghai and the balance was consigned to the Oregon Lumber company at Tien Tsin, the port of receipt being Taku. The vessel's route would take her very close to Hakodate, and it is surmised that the vessel was merely stopped from the ordinary course by the Japanese fleet engaged in examining the papers and cargoes of neutral vessels in the far eastern waters. It was also stated at the olliee of the Pacific Export Lumber company that war risk had been placed on the Crusader and that no better proof of her neutrality need be had than the fact that she was instructed to stop at Moji for coal. It is believed that her commander obeyed the order to take coal supplies at Moji.

The British steamer Crusader is owned by the Eskside Steam Shipping company limited) of Whidby, England. KNEW GIRDERS IRE OHSAFE janitor of school predicted ohio Disaster. Cincinnati, Sept 24. At kast nine school girls were suffocated in the vault yesterday during the afternoon recess at the Pleasant Kidge public schoolhouse. A score of others narrowly escaped the same horrible death.

The dead: Lord a Finke, Emma Slcinkamp. Amelia Hess. Mart'na Buhr. Ed. -a Thee.

Lillian Witiiam. Hazel Glover. Faus a Card. Channina Brown. All of the victims were from primary grades.

On opposite sides of the spacious grounds in the rear of the suburban school building are outhouses. At recess young girls were in the outhouse assigned them, when the floor gave way. precipitating them in the stonewalled cesspool 12 feet deep and containing four feel of sewerage. The frantic struggle of those who were on top kept at least nine underneath until they wire dead. The frame shed over the sewer was about 20 feet square, without windows, and had only one narrow doorway, so that only one girl escaped falling.

She ran into the school building and told the teachers what had happened. Principal T. L. Zimmerman and seven female teachers ran to the rescue. Mr.

Zimmerman secured a ladder, on which the drenched girls climbed out, most of them fainting as soon as they reached the surface, overcome by fright and sewer, gas. The teachers were soon reinforced by the entire population of the suburbs, the police and fire departments rendering effective service. Principal Zimmerman finally fainted. Then others lifted out dead bodies until the death pool was cleared. Those rescued alive presented such an appearance as to make many in the crowd of spectators faint.

James Smith, aged 14, a pupil, climbed to the roof of the school house and got the flag, which was made into a rope that rescued several. John Steinkamp, when his daughter was not among those brought out alive, entered the vault and carried out several bodies, among them that of his daughter. Then he fainted. At the same time there were other parents in the crowd waiting that fainted when it was announced that all of the living had been rescued and their children were missing. Reports about the floor having given way last year are denied by the school trustees.

They say the floors were repaired during the summer vacation and nothing wrong was noticed with the girders. Janitor Smith says that he had told members of the board the place was not sa re. Coroner Weaver had the wrecked girders preserved. It is said that the timbers were found to be rotten and that one of them was spliced. 400 OUT OF WORK.

Foston, Sept. 24. About 400 men are out of work in consequence of the strike of 14 engincers and cranemen employed on contracts in Boston Harbor by the Eastern Dredging company. The trouble may bring the work of widening the main ship channel to a standstill Hannah Murderers and Other Desperadoes at Liberty. SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Billings. Sept. 24. Edward Grady and Orton O. Mosier, the two men held in the Yellowstone county jail here for the murder on July 2 of Sergeant of Police Robert T.

Hannah, at the time the Owl saloon was held up and looted, together with eight other prisoners, some of them desperate characters, made their escape from the jail some time bttwecn the hours of 8 and 12 last night. They are still at large, though a posse is in pursuit. The prisoners in some way got possession of a saw and, by cutting two bars in the window of one of the cells, made an opening about 12 inches in diameter. Through this, one by one, the men crawled into the jail yard and thence made their way out by leaping over the high board fence surrounding the yard. Among the fugitives, besides Grady and Mosier, are the Parkinson brothers, who were held for horse-stealing, and Griffin and Webb, the men captured at Forsyth on suspicion of complicity in the dynamiting of the Billings laundry and brewery safes about two months ago.

Cleverly Done. The escape of the prisoners was clev-. erly effected. Having obtained the saw, they worked very quietly, and it is said that none of the prisoners other who escaped knew of what was going on. It is probable that the escape wotdd not have been known to the authorities until morning had not the fugitives secured a gun somewhere and held up J.

W. Caughan, a Billings business man, as they were leaving town. Caughan reported the matter to the sheriff and the pursuit of the fugitives at once began. There were 28 in the jail at the time the 10 made their escape. "With a start of only an hour and a half at the time the posse was organized by the sheriff, it is believed that the men are quite certain to be captured, but they will hardly be taken without a fight.

The officers who are after the outlaws know what kind of men they are and they are prepared to meet them. The town is thoroughly aroused over the jail break. It happened that Sheriff Potter of Carbon county, who has figured in the cp-ture of so many desperate men in this part of the slate, was in town at the time the prisoners made their escape. He at once joined in the pursuit of the fugitives. FELLOWS ADJOURNED San Francisco, Sept.
