BUTTE. Jnne 12.-[ special. The funeral
of the lote W. j. Penrose to- day was one of
the most impressive and one of the most
largely attended ever held in this city. 1t
was day of varied weather, tho alternat-
ing rain and sunshine illustrated vvidly
the alternate sunshine and shade of the de-
eeaseds life. Showers fell Mt intervals,
followed by bright sunshine, and while the
body WAS being lowered to its final resting
place, the rain fell in a torrent, as if to ex-
emplify the stormy ending of the deceased's
life. The floral tributes were the most
beautiful ever seen in Butte, lovely wreath
from the Last Chance Copy club of Helena,
being much admired among the numerous
tributes Of regard. The funeral was under
the auspices Of the Butte Press club, of
which the deceased was the newly elected
president. but had never presided at Il
meeting of the club. The local newspaper
men turned out in full numbers, while
with them were City Editor Bowie, of the
Helena Journal, Editor Durstan and Man
ager Hallahan, of the Anaconda Standard
Editor Collins of the Missoula Gazette; L..
S. Leonard, sof the Anaconda Review; City
Editor Hutchins, of The HELENA
councilmen, members of the legislature
from Silver Bow and Deer Lodge counties,
followed the deceased to the grave. The
sermon by Rev. Frank E. Bush, at Noun
tain View M. +. church. was appropriate
and the services were generally very inn
pressiye. Leaving the church the pro-
cesson pursued its sad journey through
streets crowded with people. From win
dow in cell of the county Jail the pale
face of Belle Browning could be plainly
seen watching the procession as it came
down the hill from the church. Pass
ing the Mining Journal office, which
was draped with mourning, hats
were raised. Down Montana street the
procession passed the bloody spot, still vlsi-
BILE on the sidewalk at the northeast corner
of Montana and Galena streets; passed the
house from which few days ego Penrose
came to his death; passed along the whole
length of the street where, Tuesday night,
took place that midnight footrace and
reached the cemetery, where, in a binding
rain storm, the remains of w. j. Penrose
were forever laid to rest.
Nothing has transpired as yet that is
definite in regard to the case. The inquest
was omitted to-day, out of respect to
the funeral. Mrs. Penrose will leave soon
for Yonkers, New York, where her parents
live. The Mining journal will issue once
more and will probably suspend then.
Duncan Hunter, of Helena, was over to-
day in regard to Penrose's policy for $1o,-
GOO in the Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany. Detectives are at work and are fol-
lowing every clue and thread but tae case
has thus far batlled every one. A popular
subscription will be started in day or two
to raise purse as reward for the appre-
hension of the assassins.

WASHINGTON, Sune 12.-Assistant Secre-
tary Nettleton's attention was tonight
called to the testimony to-day by Gen.
Wagner before the council committee of
Philadelphia investigating the bank scan
dial. Nettleton said: 81 never backed
Nelson f. Evans or any other person as
candidate for the receivership of the Key
stone bank. After the bank had been
closed some days and when the comptroller
of currency, who had little acquaintance in
Philadelphia, was considering several
names for the receivership. [ suggested
Evans, and recommended that the comp
troller inquire IN Philadelphia as to his fit
ness, which he proceeded to do. l had no
suspicion of any financial weakness nor
complication on the part of Evans or of the
Spring Garden National bank until the an
nouncenent of the failure of tho bank.
Evans had no knowledge that his name
would be mentioned for the Keystone re-
ceivership until some time after it was
done. l suggested his name simply
because had known him long
and believed him every way tit.

the Spring Garden bank, but it is probable
that certain accommodation notes for
which am responsible are in that institu-
tion. If 80, am simply among the losers

Anxiety to the Facts of the Recent
Uprising.
WASHINGTON, June l2.-There is evidence
of uneasiness Displayed at the state and
navy departments over the situation in
Hayti. The officials are becoming impatient
at the delay in receiving full and ac-
curate reports of the condition of
affairs in the black republic. Yesterday the
state department received q letter from
Minister Douglass, supplemental to his dis
patch of May 2S. There are few details
given. The minister merely reiterates what
he stated i'll his cablegram, namely that the
insurrectlon did not amount to much; that
it was little more than u street riot by
which one or two lives were lost.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Douglass temperate
report the officials of the state and navy
departments are anticipating trouble.
Anxiety to ascertain the exact situation has
led the department to cable Minister
Douglass for full particulars. The question
of closing the United States legation in
Port au Prince is being seriously consid-
cred by the governments. A letter written
by Minister Firmin to the special commits
sioners, i'll reply to their request for a lease
of mole ST. Nicholas, was so unfriendiy in
tone that serious otfense has been taken in
Washington. 1t is understood that in their
reply to this letter Minister Douglass and
Admiral Gherardi expressed their dissatis-
faction with the settlement of the affair,
and left matters in such condition that the
subject can be taken up again.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 12.-United
States District Attorney Reed appeared be-
fore the investigating committee of the
council this afternoon and made person
al explanation of his course III acting as
attorney for the Keystone bank as a mem
ber of the law firm of Reed g. Pettit Au-
ditor General McCantnaut was the next
witness. Rufus Il. Shapely appeared with
the auditor general of the state. Shapely
said that owing to prospective litigation
between the state and the city of Philadel-
phia ever the deficit in the state funds the
auditor general, by advice of the attorney
general, must refuse to answer any ques-
tions that will be disadvantageous
to the case of the state. but that a
statement of moneys owing the state by
the city would be furnished by the auditor
general. The auditor general then read a
statement in which it was shown that there
was still due the state from licenses, loans
and taxes collected by Bardsley for the
year 1890 total of $S15,S15. State Treas
urer Boyer was also called, but the same
objection to his answering questions as in
the case of the auditor general was made
by Shapely.
Harry p. G. jones' assistant bank exam
iner, testified that Comptroller of the Cur
rency Lacey was here on February 13 last,
and was at the Keystone bank. He was
shown statement of the condition of the
bank. including the Justification of the
ledger. the padding of the New York bank
accounts, and the carrying of due bills as
assets. Ex-Director of Public Works
Wagner testified to conferences held be-
tween himself and officials of the Keystone
bank regarding his acceptance of the presi-
dency of the bank: During the course, of
his examination, Gen. Wagner was asked
bank. Wagner, who,. before he was ap-
preached on the subject of the presidency
OF the bank, was candidate for receiver
ship of the bank, testified that when he
first went to the bank on the subject of the
presidency, he said to Bank Examiner
Drew that he understood that the receiver
ship had been. settled, and it WAS to
be Nelson Il. Evansr president of
the Spring Garden Insurance company,
and director of the Spring Garden bank.
Wagner also added that he understood that
Wanamaker was backing Evans for the po-
sition. In reply, Drew said to Gen. Wag-
ner: mo, think you are mistaken. Wan
amaker has nothing to do with it. Now,
that explains something 1 did not under
stand. Assistant Secretary Nettleton is a
great friend to Evans, and he is probably
backing him for the position. 1t also ex-
plains some accounts at the Spring Garden
that did not understand, whore Nettleton
appears as large borrower"
Wagner said he had since looked into the
papers for the name of Assistant Secretary
Nettleton as one of the debtors of the bank,
but had not seen it.

TWO REELECTED,
Melville f. Stone and w. s, Maxwell Not
Confirmed.


CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Worlds fair li-
rectory this evening took action by two of
the most talked of nominations made by
Director General Davis. The vote on the
confirmation of M. L. Stone, of Chicago,
as chief of the department of foreign af-
fairs resulted in a tie, and further consid-
Grafton of his name was postponed until
next meeting. Mr.. Stone. however, hear
ing that fight had been made on his con-
tirmation, promptly withdrew his name.
The committee appointed to Investigate the
accusations against w. s. Max
we'll, who was nominated for
chief of the bureau of horticulture,
reported that there was no proof to sustain
the charges against his character. When
the nomination WAS Put to a vote, however,
Maxwell was defeated twenty-five to eight
Director Genetal Davis thereupon substi-
tuted the name of Gen. N. y. Chipman of
California, and he was mt once confirmed
by the directory. The board of control
must now pass upon Chapman, and there is
some talk that the feeling over the defeat
of Maxwell may lead to Chipmnns rejec-
tion by tho board. The directory unani-
mously contained tho nomination of Skitf,
us chief of the mining bureau.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The World prints
this dispatch from Philadelphia: "Details
of the conference that occurred on Satur-
would cast more light upon the mystery
that envelopes the affairs of the Keystone
bank than anything yet brought out. A
large sum of money was offered to Marsh
and Lawrence to leave the country. The
sum mentioned to your correspondent
by his informant was $4,000 each
and an assurance of one weeks start
on tho way to liberty. President
Marsh sailed for Barbados ON the follow
ing Wednesday under assumed name.
Lawrence, assistant cashier, declined per-
emptorily. He said whatever he had done
had been by the direct command of Lucas
and Marsh, and that he had never protited
to the extent of II penny by the fasitication
OF the books of the bank. He is already

Foreign raupcr Raised Queen Hees to lie
Admitted Free of Duty.
WASHINGTON. June 15.-Assistant Secre-.
tary Spaulding has decided that queen bees
are entitled TO entry free of duty under
the tariff providing for animals especially
imported f,r breeding purposes, notwith-
standing the requirement that the provision
for a certificate of pedigree, showing pure
breed, cannot possibly be complied with i'll
their case. This Is i'll harmony with tho
practice under the old tariff but is in con-
tlict with the practice under the present
tariff of assessing a duty on queen bees at
the rate of 20 per cent. advalorem, under
the provision for animals not otherwise
provided for. The present ruling is based
on representations that these beos are never
imported for other than breeding purposes,
and that they are always of superior breed.

TWO SUSPECTS.

Under Surveillance in Great Falls-NIay Be
the Guilty Ones.
1t is possible that the murderers of Will
liam j. Penrose, or at least two of them,
are now in Great Falls, shndowed by Sher-
itf Hamilton and his deputies. On Thurs
day morning, about four o'clock, some
twenty eight hours after the murder, two
men rode hurriedly into Great Falls, placed
their horses in a livery stable, and left
them there. They went around town but
did not leave the place. Deputy Sheriff
Richards. of Lewis and Clarke county was
in Geeat Falls at the time, and hearing of
the Penrose murder and the arrival of the
two undiscovered travellers, put the two
things together and concluded the matter
was worth looking into. He notified Butte
authorities and had the sheriff of Cascade
county keep his eyes on the strangers.
Whether or not anything has DEVELOPED to
connect the strangers with the murder the
Butte authorities have not yet given out.

An Old Timer Dead,

John Nanno, one of the pioneers of Mon
tana, died Thursday at White Sulphur
Springs. About week ago he was struck
with paralysis and was unconscious up to
tho moment of death. Mr.. Nanno worked
ut blacksmithing at Diamond City and
Confederate gulch in 1866 and in later years
lived in this city and at White Sulphur
Springs. Ho was about 90 years old and
unmarried,
