None of the big stock of pig iron was lost.
By another week the works will be in tull
operation, employing 5000 men. They
will fill all their contracts and within a
month of the accident be doing just as
much business as ever. There will prob

the reservoir, but it should be done in such
a way as % insure it to stand forever.

IT is expected that the Samoan commits
sion will meet to-day for the last time and
the signatures of the great contracting par
ties be set to this singular instrument,
which brings the ends of the earth to-
gether 1t is not question which party
has won the most points in the treaty.
The United States was not negotiating for
herself but for the interests of the natives
of the distant islands of the Pacific We
simply retain for ourselves the rights long
ago acquired, but we have secured for the
Samoans the rights that they had lost and
had no means to recover without our assist
ance We have more reason to be proud
of the result than if we had won the sole
possession of the islands. The autonomy
of the natives and tue restoration of their
banished King is glorious achievement
that will attract the attention of the whole
Eastern world. In giving us the best har-
Dor and coaling station in their islands the
Samosns secured an ally whose interposi-
tion saved them from utter destruction,
All the people of the East will make note
of the fact tha. there is one power on
earth that is not altogether selfish, that is
ready to protect the weak. 1t is something
more than an acknowledgment of our
country as one of the greatest powers
of the world, it is triumph of civilization
and Justice. That is the chief and crown
ing glory OF the event and is all the more
significant and lu3trJus for the insgnif-
canoe of the people for whom we have so
successfully intervened.

Special Grand Jury in the CrOnin
Case.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The special grand
jury to deal with the Cronin case was en-
pannelled this morning in Judge Shepard g
court. In addressing the jury the Judge
said he expected full, exhaustive and i'm
partial investigation of the murder. aThe
entire resources of the county, he said,
would be at the disposal of the jury and
the witnesses who would not testify: should
be made to do so, as the grand jury had it
in its power to do so. There are two Irish
men in the panel, W. w. Quan,ia we'll
known grocer, and w.: Oneil, ex-county
commissioner. After being charged by
Judge Shepard as to their duties, they re-
paired to the grand jury room and entered
into consideration of the case.
CHICAGO, June 12-Chief Hubbard say 8
he understands that Maroney's picture has
been shown to Mrs. Conklin, and that sh Q
recognized it as that of the man who drove
DR.. Cronin away. Requisition papers we're
secured this morning and Pinkerton de-
tective started for New York with them.
This afternoon Sullivan made application
by his attorney, returnable at o'clock, for
writ of habeas corpus. 1t asserts that the
verdict of the coroner's jury is insufficient
for his commitment without bail; and that
through large amount of extra judicial
evidence taken by the coroner no testimol y
sufficient to Justify his incarceration was
produced, and his Imprisonment is the re-
suit of passion aud prejudice He declares
he is entirely innocent Of any connection
with Cronin's death.

THE Masonic Grand Lodge of New York
which was in session last week, rendered
an unanimous re election to Frank R Law
renee, through whose exertions the great
temple debt has been fully paid. 1t was
declined, however, as expected, and John
w. Vrooman was chosen to succeed him.
At q dinner given at DelmoDico's in honor
of the retiring Grand Master a magnificent
silver service, valued at $4,000 and con-
tributed by individual Masons, was pre-
sented to him. The Utica Driving Park
was selected for the site of the asylum. 1t
was valued at SIS 900, but cost the Grand
Lodge only $4,000. The Grand Lodge
voted $4,000 to the Johnstown sufferers.

SILVER.

If the Globe Democrat wants to aid the
its warfare on silver. Silver is the only
metal that can furnish coin to represent
the unit of Federal money. 1t has been
used for money as long as gold and is bet
ter suited for the purpose if we could have
but one. Silver is the money of the mil
lion and gold of the millionaire Our
country produces both gold and silver, but
the latter most abundantly. If we want
to acquire the trade and money control of
the world we can do it through silver by
making its coinage free and unlimited
legal tender. Through this means, with
the establishment of steamship lines to the
South American ports, we could vary soon
get the greater part of the trade of this
continent. Every country on this conti-
nent is interested with US in the complete
reconciliation of silver Let Europe kick
for time and draw away our gold. She
can never exhaust US, for we are all the
time producing more, and when gold was
plenty and silver scarce in Europe, as
would soon be the case, she would send
back her gold and buy silver at our own
price. The talk about the expense of
storage is all moonshine. A small fraction
of the royalty that government has made
by purchasing silver at less than its coin
value would build store room for all the
silver that could be produced in century
1t is nothing new or revolutionary that we
are proposing. 1t is going back to first
principles. Silver was money before
America was discovered, before England
was settled, before Greece or Rome became
known among the nations. Shall it be dis
carded because we produce it in such guam
titles? Other forms of wealth are increas-
ing still faster. There is no overproduction.
Our continent produces most of the silver
that the other continents need. 1t is not
for us to cheaper, degrade and demone-
tie it.

FROM the tone of Editor Reeds hic-
coughy and efervescent editorials in the
Inter Mountain on the subject of "cut off
line" the baneful effects of living in
town with only one railroad, and stub"
at that, for 80 many years are apparent.
Provincialism in ertremis is evidently the
disease with which are west side contem-
poraries are afflicted. In its aggravated
stages, therefore, it is nothing more than
could be expected to see the Inter Noun
tain editor rending his hand -me-down gar
ments, tearing his hair, writing
literary paragraphs with buzz saw
for a pencil. whooping 'er up generally AMI
indulging in the widest flights of rejoic-
ing over the simple fact that Butte is soon
to be on branch line of the Northern Pa
ciic railroad. Of course the new railroad
will be good thing for Butte, and Helena
complacently congratulates the Summit
Valley town on it recent emancipation
from narrow guage side tracks and its favor
.
within the n fifty years. Meantime we can
not but marvelat some sudden conversions
from the Pipestake to the Homestone pass.
Perhaps like the politics of succeeding city
administrations, conversions are a necfs-
sary consequence of breathing smelter
smoke and drinking Butte whisky and
graveyard water. These same influences
may also be accountable for the hallucina
tion that makes Northern Pacific branch
from Gallatin look like main line. What
ever it is, no time should be wasted in
securing a remedy. About the best anti
dote we know of is trip to Helena, where
city life in all its phases can be enjoyed,
where three transcontinental railroads send
their trains in and out every day, and
where dozen important branch lines fill
out the business of great railroad centre.
Come to Helena and wear off your rust.

PENNSYLVANIA one-legged Governor
is working like Beaver to relieve the
numerous flood sufferers in his State. He
shove some proper spirit and pride in the
matter. too He insists that his State is
rich enough to make good all the perma-
nent losses caused by the great flood, with
out any outside aid. Not one dollar of
outside aid, so freely rendered, says Gov.
Beaver, shall be used except to relieve
present personal want The waste places
shall be restored but at the general expense Of
the State. There is but one other State in
the Union as rich as Pennsylvania and
none where there are 80 many very rich
men in proportion to population. Within
a few years past the State debt has been
nearly paid off and it could for few years
bear the expense of rebuilding all that had
been destroyed and never notice it. No
money can restore the lives lost, but it can
rebuild the towns and dwellings washed
away, restore the industries and re-
people the valley, and in some re.
spects make it more secure and
prosperous than ever before. Within five
days the cash subscriptions for relief, in
Philadelphia alone amounted, to over half
a million, besides other things in the shape
of food, clothing ETC., more than means
could be found to transfer. The same is
true in every city and town not only in
Pennsylvania but all over the East. With
such an outpouriDg of help from those near
at hand, we are satisfied that just at pres
ent all the means are in hand that can be
proftably employed. 1t is net however to
our credit that Helena did not respond
more promptly and literally.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Albert Springer Shot and Killed Near
Butte.

BUTTE, June 11.-[Special. Another
murder was added to the list of crimes in
Silver Bow county last night. About IL
o'clock two men, Albert Springer and
Howell Thomas got into a quarrel in
saloon at Rocker Both had been drink
ing, and in the noise of half dozen other
loud talking, half-intoxicated men, their
alteration attracted little attention until
Thomas pulled revolver and fired at
Springer The ball entered Springer's breast
and he died in few moments. The MUIR
derer was held in the saloon until the
Sheriff was summoned, when he was ar
rested and lodged in Jail. Springer was
an unmarried man about 80 years old and
worked at the Blue Bird company's mill.
As this is the second murder within few
weeks special grand jury will probably
be called to consider the case.
Additional advices say the shooting was
done while both men were standing up,
and while Mr.. Fergu:on was standing be-
tween them, attempting to keep them
apart. Thomas pushed the pistol under
Ferguson's arm and fred. After doing the
shooting he was disarmed by Ferguson
and then ran out of the saloon and attemp-
ted to escape. Ferguson and several others
gave chase, and it was not until after four
shots had been fred at him from his own
pistol that he concluded to halt and allow
himself to be captured.
Upon his return to town Mr.. Lloyd tel
egraphed to Springer's father, who resides
at Moravia, New York, informing him of
his sons death, and asking what disposi-
ton to make of the remains.

As to Suspect MarOney.

NEW YORK, June 12.-John j. Maroney,
under arrest here for completely in the
Cronin murder, it is said, is willing to 90
to Chicago and face the charge. He asserts
in the most positive language that he is
entirely innocent of the crime. Maroney
uses every endeavor to create the impress
sion that he knows more about the murder
Of Cronin than he is willing to tell here.

In the printed pamphlet containing the
arguments and evidence recently presented
to the Secretary of the Treasury upon the
classification of Mexican ores is an affidavit
of ex Governor Hauser, of Montana.
Though credited to j. w. Hauser, it is
mistakably intended for Samuel T. Hauser,
whose autograph is probably less familiar
to Washington printers and proof readers
than in Montana. Like everything that
Sam says, the affidavit is to the point.
which is that all ores containing 5 per cent.
and upwards of lead are classed as lead
ores. The lead contained has marketable
value, is extracted and saved. The law
that imposes duty upon lead ores uses the
term in its common acceptance among
mining men. There is no justification for
the department to change this common ac-
cepted classification, because the value of the
silver in ores exceeds that of the lead.
They may be high-grade or low-grade, &C.
cording as they contain more or less of sill
yer. But certainly all ores that contain
lead in quantities, to have a market value
and to be worked for their lead are lead
ores, no matter what else they may con-
tain, and for tariff purposes should be
treated as such. A ship passenger from
Europe may bring in half a million dol
lars worth of diamonds in a valise, wrap
ped in a suit of clothes which made the
bulk of the contents, but the custom house
officers would hardly pass the valise and
contents free, because the bulk of the con-
tents were not liable to duty
