All Work in the Anaconda Mines
and Smelters Is to Be
Stopped.
The Unsettled Dispute with the
Montana Union Railway the
Sole Cause.
Gould Refuses to COnsummate Agree.
Inents Of tho Adams Adm inistrati0n
Everything to Ise stopped.

ANACONDA, March 19.-fSpecial. The
Anaconda company has decided to shut
down all its works. The catastrophe has
been impending for several days. but care
WAS taken not to let it be noised abroad, az
itSwas hoped it might be averted after all.
The announcement of the company's de-
cision is therefore news to everybody. 1t is
the old story--trouble with the Montana
Union railroad. II will be remembered
that the works were shut down a few days
last July as the result of disagreement
between the Anaconda company and Gem
eral Manager Baldwin. who insisted on
making the company, in addition to the
regular freight charges, pay the cost Of all
switching in the Anaconda yard. At that
time the company concluded to pay the
switching charges under protest and tho
smelters we're accordingly reopened. Bald
wins place was afterwards given to the
present general manager, Mr.. Burns. and
Baldwin himself was promoted in the
Union Pacific service, probably on the
strength of his assertion that he had
brought the Anaconda company to terms.
Correspondence on the subject was con-
tinued between the high officers of the
Union Pacific and the company and late
last year. it is said, an agreement was
reached for a rebate of the switching
charges. But before this was accomplished
the Adams administration came to an end
and nothing about the matter has since
been done. General Manager Burns made q
new schedule OF rates to 90 into effect Feb. l.
The rate on ore was advanced from 40 to 60
cents per ton. and on wood from % to 30
cents per cord. Under these rates there
were to be no witching charges for wood
and ore, but Sswitching charges were not
lifted from c inland other freight. Thit
new schedule isbeen entirely unEatisfac-
tory to the An, nda company and the re-
suit is that ord. :, have been issued by Cen
eral Manager Burns tonight to discontinue
the railroad service for the Anaconda COM
pany. ArrangeIpents are now progressing
to shut down all he emelters as soon as the
ore on hand, entlugh to last three or four
days, ia exhausted.
Mr.. Daily will gp to Butte tomorrow to
arrange for theA suspension of all opera
tions at the mihe except the pumping.
The business of the Anaconda company
amounts to 80 per cent. of all the business
of the Montana Union railway. OF late
the road has been carrying for the company
during every twenty four hours 5000 tons
of ORE 800 cords Of wood and $40 tons of
coal.
In an interview tonight Mr.. Daily said
that much as he regretted the stoppage, the
Anaconda company could not do another
stroke of work until the Montana Union
agreed to fair and satisfactory terms, even
if the whole plant should lie idle until the
Fourth of July. He was tired of this ever
lasting racket with the railroad.

WASHINGTON, March ia life convict in

secretary of the navy suggesting, in view of
the deficiency in the number of enlisted

STOOD BEFORE BIG JOE.

Ring With the Burly

The Fighting Was Terrific and the
Honors Were Decidedly
With Joe.
But He Could Not Put His Man to sleeu-
Mills Elsewhere and to
Come.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March 19.-The much-
talked-of prize fight between Joe Nc
Auliffe, of New York. and Jim DAILY, of
Philadelphia, took place in the vicinity of
this city tonight. Nearly 800 persons
witnessed the mill. The terms of the fight
were that DAILY should stay six rounds for q
purse of $1,000. This he managed to do
and, although receiving lot of punish
ment, WAS almost as fresh as his burly
opponent at the finish. 1t is only fair to
McAuliffe, however, to state that he broke
tho first knuckle OF his left hand in tho
fourth round and was incnpacitated
from hitting the Quaker City man as hard
as he might otherwise have done. McAu-
life weighed 21O pounds and DAILY 162. Two
ounce gloves were used.
In the first round McAuliffe feinted with
his left and drove right into Daly's wind,
the latter retaliating with wicked apper-
cut, which just missed. An uppercut from
the New Yorker fell short and then DAILY
rushed swinging blow on to his neck.
In the second the Quaker City boy clev-
er!y lodged a hard swing, but caught an
other in the face. Both spared for wind
and then Joe drove his man to the ropes.
smashed DAILY ON the nose and drew first
blood.

nent rib roaster, knocking him down. He
was soon up and the round ended with a
clinch.
Hot fighting began to tell when they
came together for the fourth, although each
continued to slug. McAuliffe knocked DAILY
squarely off his feet.
1t the fifth McAuliffe drove DAILY to the
ropes where each caught a couple of hot
ones, DAILY being knocked down.
IN the last round DAILY hit McAuliffe q
hard one on the neck. the New Yorker at
tempting ha two terrific swings, which were
harmless. DAILY then gave McAuliffe a
smash over the heart and was Knocked
down., but got up again at the re-
CURED time. Another clinch, after which

failed, time being called soon after.

much marked, Daily showing the most pun
ishment.

Eighteen Sticks Of Giant Explode in
the Ella Mine at Butte
City.
Walter Trestrial will Probably Die
OF Injuries Due to the
Concussion.
Vp-TheIr Extra Precautions save
Three Lives.

BurTE, March 19.-lSpecial] The Ella
mine, situated at the foot OF Idaho street,
was the scene OF friRhtful explosion this
morning, by which Walter Trestrail re-
ceived injuries that may result in the loss
OF his life. Joseph Stewart and Ray Crum,
who were working with him, were badly
shocked by the concussion. the pump was
wrecked and three sets of timbers were
blown out of the shaft. These three men
mentioned had just commenced extending
the level from the bottom of the shaft,
eighty feet from the surface. In going
down they took eighteen sticks of giant
powder and placed them around the pump
to thaw out. The first shot was placed
only fifteen feet from the pump, no thought
being given to the spare powder. It was
an unusually heavy shot and fortunately
the men took extra precautions. Trestrail
and Crum climbed the ladder about forty
i've feet, while Stewart went back into the
level, where he thought he would be per-
fectly safe. When the shot was fred the
powder all went with it and frightful ex-
plosion followed, filling the shaft with fly
ing pieces of rock and timbers, blowing the
pumps into fragments and lifting the roof
entirely off over its mouth. The concus-
sion vas SO strong where the two men were
hanging up the ladder that Trestrail was
torn from it and fell back to the bottom of
the shaft. Crum, fortunately, was able to
retain his hold but it was only by the
stoutest exertions, the force of the blast
being sufficient to tear his jacket into
ribbons. Immediately after the explosion
the powder fumes began to rise so dense
that it was with difficulty that Crum was
able to climb out. Stewart had
been terribly shocked and almost stunned
by the concrssion, but managed to crawl
out through the smoke and up the ladder.
He was in fainting condition when he
reached the top and could have gone but
little further on the ladder.
AS soon as the men had sufficiently re-
covered they started back after Tres
trail, who was found stretched across a pile
of timbers at the bottom of the shaft, un-
conscious from the combined effects of the
fall and the smoke. BY most strenuous
exertions they succeeded in carrying him
partsNy up the shaft, when the bucket
was lowered and the rest of the ascent was
made comparatively easy. Trestrail soon
recovered consciousness, but was dazed and
unable to talk coherently for some time.
Upon examination it was found that his
right shoulder blade. had been broken and
he had sustained severe internal injuries.
1t is impossible to tell tonight the full ex-
tent of his injuries, but it is feared he can
not live. The others escaped with severe
shaking up and choking. Fifty dollars
will cover the damage to the mine.
