TO WE'D By A WHALE.

"A Fishing Schooner's Lovely Ride on the
Paciic-Taken Fifty Miles out to Sea.
Port Townsend W. T., March "a special:
The fishing schooner G. H. White returned
from q halihut cruise in the North Paeifc,
tonight. Her master, Captain Charles
johnson, relates an exciting adventure with
a whale, last Monday afternoon. Ths YES
sci was anchored on Flattery bsHks,
seventy miles from shore. with all the crew
out in five dories catching halibut, when .
school of five black whales came alongside.
One of the school got entangled in the yes
sells cable, the anchor parted, and the YES
sci, in TOW OF the monster, was taken at q
rapid rate to the westward, the only per
sons aboard beingth the captain and the cook,
who were unable to stop it's progress.
The whale becs me exhausted and brought
the schooner around in q circle within fifty
miles from where they started. The wind
lass was rugged and the vesselhauled along.
side OF the whale, where he measured over
feet. With one turn the cable
became disentangled on the whales flank,
and the whale disappeared beneath the
water.
The captain and cook hoisted sail and re-
turned for the boats, where the crews were
safely found t~wenty.four hours later. The
experience was the most exciting that has
ever occurred off Flattery banks. The
story is vouched for by all OF the crew.

THE COMING OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

THE COMING OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Appropos Of the effort of a woman to
register her name in Butte, the other
day, for the purpose of voting, 1t is worth
while to take notice of the fact that a
Detroit, Mich, dispatch says that on the
22d inst. the registration "of women, by
women, and for women" the first ever
held in that city, began. The first woman
to appear wa Mrs. Mary F. Morley. Her
name was registered in red ink, a lurid
distinction to specially designate the
names of women voters. A large number
awaited themselves of the opportunity.
An hour before the registration began,
7. W. Palmer, the new minister to Spain,
sent the following telegram to the De-
troit women:
81 send you congratulations. Let every
woman register and vote. 1t means greater
consideration for the a~fluent. better wages
for the struggling, better laws, better off,
GERS and a better state. The morning light
is breaking. The darkness disappears"
Everywhere is the movement for
woman suffrage manifesting itself. A
recent dispatch from Leavenworth, Kan
sas, says that several thousand women in
that city have registered, and will vote at
the spring election.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.
The glories of the american system"
of tariff protection, so far as it applies to
the working people and the masses, con-
tinue to manifest themselves. Pennsyl-
vania coal miners earning, according to
a dispatch, last week, about $16 a month,
are asked to submit to a still further re-
duction in their wages Of one-half a cent
a ton, refusing to agree to which a gen.
eral shutdown is threatened. Such a
shutdown, a dispatch this morning says,
will throw nearly 5000 men out Of EN-
ployment.
During the Presidential campaign, last
year, this very condition wal foretOld by
the Republicans as a result of the Demo-
Gratis being successful on the issue OF the
Mills tariff reduction bill. But the pe0-
pie were assured, by these same philan-
thropists and. oracles of prophecy. that
Republican success meant good wages
for workmen, greater business activity,
and better times all over the country.
The falsity Of these Republican prognos-
tications were like those Of 1872, when
the country was informed that the re-
election of Grant meant continued pros
perity, while the success of Horace Gree
ley would be- sure to be followed by
panics and financial disorders generally.
Who does not remember the panic Of 1873
and the following decade of misery which
forced a million tramps on the road, and
from the effects Of which and the high
tariff legislation Of that period, the
country has net yet recoveredP Greeley
was not elected, either.
Last fall all manner of evil was pre-.
dicted as a result of Democratic success;
but a golden era was promised as a re-
suit Of the triumph Of the party of high
tariff principles. Already is history be-
ginning to repeat itself. A movement
for the reduction Of wages has begun an
over the conntry-and begun, too, by the
very monopolists who have shouted "pro-
lection" the loudest. Pennsylvania is
the very hot-bed of protection. So all
powerful is this falsehood that 1t infects
men Of both parties, and other Demo-
Gratis besides Randall are under the in
fuence Of the nightmare. That it is
bringing r%uination upon the state, is
becoming more and more apparent with
every telegram that relates. to the in
dustries Of that great commonwealth.
The Caruegies and Quays and RAN
dalls have been able to hoodwink the
masses on this subject Of tariff, but they
cannot stay the tide of events. Causes
produce" effects, and no false logic can
stay, eternally, the. consequences. The
destruction of American commerce on
the highrseasf followed the imposition Of
high ta~riffadutfss, and the country is now
entering; more plainly than ever, upon
tile era Oh sequences following such an
unjust and unbusiness-Iik system. :

THE interview in The MINER, yester-

the water supply for this city, shows
clearly the absurdity Of the talk abouG a
monopoly of water rights being held by
the Silver Bow Company, any company
being at liberty to lay mains and supply
the city with water. Mr.. Frank also
makes it clear that the present company
will give the city just as much or just as
little water as the Council bargains for.
1t will put in few or many fire plugs,
and lay mains as demanded. The whole
matter is a mere business condition, In
which business men ought to know how
to act.

A Conference of Importance to Butte

"A CAOO Va hhPoA ~ ~ DNSSO
The meeting between Mr.. Haggin and his
American colleagues and the representatives
OF the defunct copper Syndicate, it is be-
lieved, will take place to-day in London.
Considerable anxiety is felt here to know
the conclusion reached, which it ia supposed.
will be made public on account OF the
International interest the matter has
assumed. Most OF those spoken to on the
subject yesterday are sanguine that the
American representatives will hold their
own, and that, whatever reduction in price
is decided upon, it will be q figure that,
while perhaps below the point at which
production can continue in Mexico and
some other places, will leave a margin OF
profit to the Lake companies and the
Butte mines. Some look for the institu.
ton of another syndicate or copper trust
in which the American producers will be
the principal factors. But under any
arrangement that can be imagined, a
curtailment of output ia regarded as an
unavoidable accompaniment.
