WASHINGTON, March 2.-secretsry
Manning to-day sent long letter to
the house in response to the Bland
resolutions. In it he takes the posi-
ton that silver coinage should be
suspended and that pimetalism should
be adopted. He lavors the free coin
age of silver and geld at the govern
ments minis when bimetalism is
reached upon common internation-
al ratio. He states, however, that
he will carry out the letter and spirit
OF the existing law while he remains
as Secretary of the Treasury. He
closes by stating that it is useless to
discuss the methods for restoring BIZ
metalism until congress shall deter
mine to stop the coinage Of silver.

WASHINGTON, March 2--The Presi-

in which he calls attention to the out
RACES on Cinnamon in Wyoming and
suggests that congress indemnify them
for the losses sustained at the hands
Of the mob. He says that by the trea-

severe on the Wyoming authorities
that they should have allowed the out
RACES to have been perpetrated upon q
class of inoffensive citizen.

sions may be filed,
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, tried to
have the morning hour dispensed with
to have the pension bills considered,
but Mr.. Bland objected.
Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, in behalf of
the committee on manufactures, call
ed up the bill authorizing the Pres
ident to appoint commission of sew
en- experts to execute tests and exper-
iments OF the iron, steel and other
materials used in the construction OF
bridges, buildings and mechanical
structures and deduce useful rules
therefrom.
Mr.. Campbell, OF Pennsylvania, au-
thor OF the BILL spoke briefly in its
favor.

vored the bill.
Mr.. Farquhar, OF New York, regard
ed the measure as momentous in its

The Rival Express COMPANIES.

When the former Utah and Northern
Railroad between Butte and Garrison was
turned over to the Montana Union, pro-
vision was made that the latter company
should fulfill all unexpired contracts. One
OF these was a contract with the Pacific
Express Company of the 99-year type,
granting that corporation exclusive privil-
eges over the road. It is needless to re-
mark that the Northern Pacific Express
Company did not look kindly upon the
arrangement and proposed to test the
matter and, If possible, secure a foothold
on the desired territory. With this object
In view, when the Northern Pacific Compa-
ny's Route Agent arrived at Garrison yes
terday morning, he remained in possession
of the ear, declared his intention OF
coming on to Butte in charge of the
same and refused to allow the Pacific
Express Company's representative tn
enter the a or have anything to do with
it. Mr.. L. c. Johnson, Route Agent for the
Pacific company did not. propose to stand
any such racket and Immediately tele:

Blackwell telegraphed to the conductor to
put the Pacific Express companyis repre-
sentative in charge # the car and to see
no interference with his rights. The mat.
ter is now in such shape that the Northern
Pacific Express company can appeal to
tho directors OF the Montana Union in the
hope that they may secure the privileges.

The Coming ssSeran.N

Both Smith and Lynn are working like
beavers to have themselves in frst-rate
condition when they enter the ring on the
Grand Opera House stage next Tuesday
evening. Smiths training is principally
for wind, and he covers q great many miles
on foot every day. Before breakfast he
walks at a rapid pace to Woodville end
return, and after a rest runs around the race
track until he is very tired. He devotes
the afternoon to glove practice with his
trainer, and retires to bed at sunset. Lynn,
whose bellows are in excellent trim, spends
most of the day punching the bag and
sparring with his trainer, but manages to
run a few miles every day. The industry
OF the men predicts a gamely-contested
battle between well-traincd pugilists.

THE ANARCHIST TRIAL,
What Schwab and Spies, the Red Flag
Heroes, Say in Their Defense.


CHICAGO, August 9.-The rumor that
Spies Eould take the stand served to at
tract the largest crowd that thus far visited
Judge Gary's court. Out OF doors the
crowd was larger than in the court room.
Women in twos and threes were there with
escorts, but there was no ROOF for them
and they were turned away, all the win
dows in the court room were Theoretically
sealed, the doors tightly closed and the at
mosphere was as torrid as the neiehhor-
hood of a blast furnace. Defendant
Schwab was put on the stand and said he
was at the Haymarket in company with
Schnaubett, early in the evening. He de-
MED any connection with the throwing OF
the bomb. His cross examination elected
very little. Spies then took the stand. He
told about his speech at McC0rmick's and
said it was no common place. He went to
the factory when the shooting began
and heard that six people had
been killed by the police. This
caused him to write an article in the
Arbeiter Zeitung next day under the cap
ton OF BLOOD" He said he wrote the
"Revenge" circular while laboring under
this excitement. He then described the
meeting and he was on the
wagon until the police arrived. He denied
any connection with the throwing OF the
He acknowledged having dynamite
in his Office to experiment with, but said
the bombs found there were given to him by
man who had sailed for New Zealand.
Spies then made what the prosecution
claimed 10 a fatal admission and corrobo-
their claim that the armed Sec
ton had q secret caucus and had pre-
pared for the attacks on the police. Spies
said he wrote the word "Ruhl" which ap
peared in the Arbeiter Zeitung on May 4.

LOTTERY OF MINING.
How q Couple Of T~enderfeet Dropped

A month or two ago q couple OF "tender-
feet" who were then living in Anaconda,

Neither had mined a day IN his life and
didn't know a wall rock from q slab OF
granite. They had but little money, but
possessed strong willing arms, plenty of
pluck and good staying qualities. They
bought a couple Of picks and shovels, a lit
tie grub" and packing them on their
backs started up Warm Springs creek and
camped the first night IN the neighborhood
Of the Blue Eyed Nellie mine. They looked
at the ore as it was hoisted from the shaft
and there took their first lesson in mining.
They soon learned to distinguish ore from

which bore q resemblance to the Blue Eyed
Nellie ore. Tkey traced the float for some
d~irty-looking rock slightly cropping above
the surface Of the ground. Being tired, and
the adjacent trees affording a grateful
shade, they sat down to rest and to talk
over their situation. The prospect was
anything but inviting. They had Travelled
