LONDON, May 4.-After Mr.. Gladstone had an

to the vote of credit. They decided that it would
be impolitic to oppose the vote. An opinion pre-
walls in the party that the Government excited the
war furore in order to cover its retreat from the
Soudan and TO obtain credit with which to meet
existing deficits. 1t is said that Mr.. Gladston never
had the faintest intention of entering into conflict
with Russia. On the Government side on the other

.AisRzONAR COPPER N1NEs UNE
 QUALED.

We have frequently heard it assert ed that the Montana mines could pro. duce copper much cheaper than the mines of Arizona, but the falsity ot this statement is proven bg the am nouncement that, because of the un. preeedented low price of copper, all the smelters in the vicinity of Butte and also that of the Anaconda Com pany would be compelled to shut down: Tue Butte (Montaha Miner is authority for this statement it says; Smelling men say it costs nine cents a pound to lay down copper in the New York market, and that to con tinue the smelting of ore at that price is like working for new dollar in the place of an old one, and that they do not care to exhaust their mines with out some remuneration for the wear and tear of their plants,
 All the large Arizona companies, with the exception of the United Verde, are still operating and wlll most likely continue to, unless there is a further decline in price. The Copper Queen and Old Globe mines, by reason of tbeir immense bodies of rich and free smelting ore--notwith- standing the enormous prices paid for coke and transportatiOn--are enabled to compete successfully with the Lake companies. We predict that the tune IS not far distant when the west will produce more copper than the Lake Superior district, and produce it more eheaply too.

"The real iustigators, says this writer, are those who sell certificates of colony membership at from s to S5 each, and the pretended colony surveyors who regularly go few days ahead of each batch of deluded immigrants, and upon the arrival of the latter, charge and receive enormous fees for making preteuded descriptions by section, township, and range of any and all tracts selected by the colonists. Over l5,000 of these certificates have doubt less been sold at the prices named, and from $50 to $40 each are often paid to the surveyors for locating a single quarter section. When the military appear, the surveyors, warned by past experience, take to the gulches and escape, and tBa victimized boomers are arrested and marched out of the Territory sadder and wiseRmeu.n

The question as to whether or not a suicides insurance is valid has been settled in the affirmative by the t5ener. al Term of the New York Supreme Court, by decision un the Dwight case in the favor ofthe heirs, Dw4 t who carried a large insurance in ey- eral companies, died suddenly under suspicious circumstances and all the companies, save one, resisted payment on the ground that he had committed suicide. This was not dsiproyed by the heirs. The result is a eontir- nation of previous decision of local circuit of the Supreme Court, against which the companies appealed. They have the priyelege of further appeal to the Court of Appeals, but will prob. ably not exercise it.

 INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.


 This bill as revised and passed by the U. S, Senate differs materially from the Began bill which passed the House. It provides for ths appoint ment of a commission composed of nine members, one from each judicial circuit in the United States, not more than five of whom shall belong lo enc political party. The duties of the commission shall be to supervise and regulate all matters relating to com. meree between the States, especially transportation. The most important features of the bill are Section 8, which prohibits the collecting of more than reasonable rate of eompensa- ton for the transportation or handling of freight; Section 4 providing against unjust discrimination, making it in Cumbent on public carriers to charge the same compensation for like servi- ees, particularly in the transportation of freight Section 5, provides that in case charges are made to the eommis. sion against a company for extortion or unjust discrimination, the company so accused shall have reasonable tune to answer the charge and if it make repafation and the complaint is with. drawn the charge shall be dismissed. If the company shall fail to satisfy the complainant within reasonable .ime and the charges are substantiated, then the commission shall notify the company to discontinue the practice complained of and to pay the damages fixed by the commission. Section 5, imposes penalties upon transportation companies, engaged in interstate com. trerce, that disregard the provisions of this bill. If convicted under this act the offender shall pay a fine of $1,OO0 and if any company refuse to give in- formation or produce books it shall upon conviction be fined not to ex- ceed $1 ,000 for each offence.
 Tbe bill as passed by the Senate will HOW go back to the House.

Much interest centers in the pend, ing Senatorial contest in Illinois where matters are very much mixed. The legislature IS a tie on joint ballot, but the dissatisfaction with the party nominees, existing among Republicans as we'll as Democrats, the extent oi which is not definitely kRown, makes the result extremely doubtful. One of the Democratic Senators (Bridges) has been stricken down with paralysis and If he should die or resign 1t will require three weeks to elect success sor, and the Democrats will have to bring all their ingenuity to bear to avoid vote until the vacancy in their ranks is filled. Speaker Haines has shown himself to be not only shrewd but an interruptions individual and while an ayowed Democrat, is a strong protectlonist and therefore not an arr dent supporter of the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, Morrison and Logan the contestants for the coveted seat, are trying to appear uncon- eerned, are cultivating each others so- ciety and exchanging cheap compli- ments. While the present state of affairs looks favorable for the election of Logan; yet the Democrats can, if they choose, prolong the deadlock in. definitely by 4bssntIng themselves and thus leaving the body without a quorum.

 A dispatch to the Tucson Star g,ves the following details of the killing ui Gordon; At the day on which Khar- toum was captured, which is various. ly stated as the Beth and 27th of Jan ulry, Gordon's attention was attracted by tremendous tumult in the street. He left the so called palace or govern ment huildlug in which he made his headgua cters to ascertain the cause oi the distr rbanee. As he reached the street he was stabbed in the back and fell dead. The tumult was caused by Mahdi's troops, who had gained access to the interior of the town through treaehery, and who were in complete possession of the place, including the citadel. A fearful massacre of the garrison followed.
