IN. INDIVIDUAL IDEA.

Lord Elucidates His Views OF
the Way for Ireland to Secure Self
Government.
LONDON, May 11.-Lord Carnarvon, in
reply to Parnell explains that the idea of
the proper basis for Irish self government
is as follows:
First-The supremacy of the crown and
imperial parliament in ultimate resort.
Second-The control of the police and
the appointment of the judiciary by the
.Third-The limitation of local taxation
TO u an extent as to prevent injustice.
Fourth-A reasonable satisfying Of the
people OF Ulster.
Flfth-The whole to be preceded by some
land settlement. To these Carnarvon saws
must be added the separation of the legisia-
i've and theexeeutive functions. He details
VERY FULLY THE DIFFICULTIES
such a scheme, but right or wrong, he
says the scheme is utterly impossible now.
Gladstone having destroyed all chance oil
settlement on such basis. Lord
then deals with the crown
colony idea in similar detail and gives his
opinion that though the plan is a difficult
one, 1T is not impossible. He says his ideas
are soley his own and his late colleagues
are ID no way responsible for them.

Leading men OF both parties are now
asting about for a suitable candidate for
Delegate to Congress. In accordance with
his letter Hon. J. K. Toole is out of the
field and up to a Jew days ago it was
thought that the respective standard
bearers would be Martin Maginnis and Lee
Mantle. 1t Sc ms however that the former
has higher aspirations, and the latter has
too much business to attend to, to permit
his making the race, consequently both
have assured their friends hat they will
not be candidates.. In casting about fir
gentlemen to make the important contest
there is considerable speculation, but the
east side people do not seem to have a

to run. This being the case, there is a dis

better men could be selected as standard
bearers than Judge G. w. StapIeton and

locality and party politics, rather than
preference or local preiudices
would govern the election.

A Terrible Collision.

New YORK. May ia terrible collision
occurred about 8 o'clock this morning, just
outside OF the Bergen Hill tunnel, Jersey
City. The Newark way train was standing
a short distance FROM the tunnel, waiting
the main line train, when the Orange ex.
press came around the curve and dashed
into the Newark train, t~elescoping the rear
cars. The heavy locomotive cut it's way
into the rear car OF the standing train
crushing it to splinters and wrecking the
cars in front. The widest panic arose
among the passengers but relief measures
were immedia 6ely taken. Two passengers
are probably fatally injured. Five others
are seriously and twenty badly bruised.
Some OF the passengers who saw what was
coming jumped in time to save themselves
from injury. The engineer AID ,eman
saved themselves by the same means. The
cries OF the injured and the noise OF escap-
ing steam from the broken engine of the ex-
press drowned everything else and for a
little time no one knew whathadh happened.

THE RACES YESTERDAY,
Bad Day For Butte Horses and Butte
Sports.

Bad Day For Butte Horses and Butte
Sports.
Yesterday afternoon there was a attend
ance Of about four hundred persons at the
Butte race track to witness the two races
which had been arranged to take place.
The weather was all that could be desired
for such an event and the animals were in
excellent condition, the warm sun giving
them an opportunity to sweat out in good
shape. There were two races and in each
there was a Dillon animal as a contestant,
for which reason there were quite a number
OF people from that city and vicinity in at
tendance, who had came up to witness the
sport and gather in a few sheckels as posi-
Bile.
The first race was a dash OF 500 Yards
between Red Elm, a Dillon horse, and the
Gregson Pony for 5000 a side, the pony
being given twenty yards start. There was
not much betting OH this race, the friends
OF the pony being a little timid and fearful
OF results. TIL horses were called up in
good time, placed in position and given
a fair start, but from the jump it was ap-
parent that Red Elm had the best OF it by
ouds and ne came IN an easy winner. No
time was taken. The most interest was
centered in the second race a sweepstake |
Tor a purse OF $3.50, there being three en-
tries at $3.50 each. The distance was a
dash OF 400 yards and the contestants
were 10 Bowers, Little Brown jug and
karle, the latter being, it is said, al,o |
owned in Dillon. The dash is but a short |
one, not long enough to test the speed or
merits OF even young cues, but the friends
the respective animals thought it was1
long enough to risk moLey upon, and as a
result there was considerable betting indul-
ged IN. A good go was mad and from the
Jump 6ne horses were under whip and spur,
but victory was with Karle who made the
race easily although not far in advance of
The other two. There was but little srowl-
ing over the contest even among the losers
or The superiority OF the winner was too
apparent to admit OF doubt.

That HOTEL.
A Good Start, But Thus Far No Sec
Onds.

The latest hotel scheme, which seemed to
have a boom Friday and Saturday, APP
pears now to have come to a halt, as SO
many OF its predecessors have DONE. The
proposition of the projectors was to pur-
chase the Thornton property on East
Broadway and Wyoming, and erect there
on a fine, substantial edifice. E. II. Irvine
was the prime mover in the matter, and he
started out with a list, which was headed
by Willard Bennett with a subscription for
$4,000 in stock. There the matter rests
for the present, as no additional names
appear on he list. Who Mr.. Irvine called
upon need not be mentioned, and the rea-
son why the list stopped is not Stated. 1t
may AVE been an objection to the loca
ton or it may ave been for other causes.
In the meantime it is hoped a thorough
canvass will be made at once and funds
sufficient secured. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 is all that will be necessary, and
surely this sum for such a purpose should
be secured in Butte.

WE fear that the Inter Mountains
mind is not receptive to any instruction
on the relations Of alien pauper labor in
Pennsylvania to the products of pauper
labor in the old country. THE MINER
takes the position that this country can
better afford to compete with their pro-
ducts made at home than TO have them
come over here and rob honest labor of
the means of earning a living for the
families dependent thereon. The Mills
bill does not propose to admit foreign
products free, but modify i'm a measure,
the present tariffs. which was an out
growth Of the wal conditions.

100 oNERoUs TO BE BORNE.
KEEP HIM DEPENDENT.

Since recent history, this country has
showed that the tendency Of protected in
dustries was towards combinations in the
form of trusts, under which production
was arbitrarily suspended, raising the prices
to the consumer and throwing the work
out of his job. A monopoly more
forcible, more dangerous to the liberties of
the people OF this country, more Cypress
i've to labor could not be imagined.
Upon no class OF people does the present
tariff burdens bear SO heavily as upon the
farming class. One of the strong arguments
the pr~otectionists made to the farmer was
a home market that protection was alleged
to insure for his produce, was a

in discussing the Mills bill which he said
would destroy American labor, said: In
this contest between free trade and protec-
tion, the Republican party had on it's side
the interests OF the manufacturers and the
laborers, while on the otherside was a large
portion OF the Democratic party backed
hy foreign influence. Dibble, OF South
Carolina, criticised the Republicans for
their proposition that only tariff duties,
which should be reduced were those on
articles which should be produced in the
South and for desiring that everything
should be protected except the rice of the
and the sugar OF Louisiana.
Hougthen, OF Wisconsin. opposed the bill.

The celebrated Kuklux cases, from the

occasion to call another such case into
the courts of this Territory. We have in
corruptible courts and intelligent juries

ences between mine owners by an appli-
cation to them under the law. The time

capped easily and they should be thankful

Yesterday morning George Masters, one
OF the employees of the st. Lawrence mine,
met with an accident which fortunately
did not prove very serious. He was en-
ployed in one OF the upper levels, and in
some way fell into the chute and descended
seven floors before he landed. Strange to
say no bones were broken, but the man
was considerably bruised and shaken up,
and it may be that he sustained internal
injuries. He was at once taken to the top,
and as soon as possible thereafter con-
veyed to the Sisters Hospital, where he
received all possible attention, and at last
accounts was resting easily.
On Saturday James Shea, All old timber
man in the Anaconda, narrowly escaped a
