and unswerving support by working and
voting for his nomination so long as his
name shall be before the convention. After
the resolutions were read Congressman n
White. of the twelfth district, took excep-

Read Before Meeting of the Missoula
Board of Trade.
M1ssouLA, March TO-. - Especial. AT
meeting Of the Missoula board Of trade this
evening communications were read from
Congressman Dixon and from Hon VIM.
Bickford, relating to the bill establishing a
regimeptal post at Helens. The communi-
cation from Mr.. Dixon was to the effect
that he favored the bill establishing polt
at Helena, and that such bill was not in
imical to tho interests of Missoula; that the
establishment of regimental post in the
northwest was matter of the near future;
and that Helena. or Spokane, Wash, must
necessarily be the location; that in favor
ing this post he was doing so in the interests
of the general welfare of his own state.
This letter was written before the arrival
of Mr.. Bickford at Washington. Mr..
Bickford's communication discussed the
question from different standpoint and
maintained the opposite view. The board
endorsed Mr.. Bickford's views on the mat
ter and resolved to maintain the fight
against the establishment of the post at
Helena, holding that Missoula was the
proper and favorable location.

NEW YoRE, March 1O.~~Rumors OF great
combination which, If effected, will involve
millions of dollars just now are proving
matters Of prime interest TO manufacturers
and dealers in copper and holders Of copper
mining stocks. For months copper prices
have been very low and tho tension upon
most copper mining companies in the Lake
Superior region, Montana, Arizona and
hew Mexico To hsap things going has been
severe. 1t HIS long been urged by copper
men that gorne combination to limit
production should be forced, but only
within very recent tima has the matter
assumed shape. Negotiations have been
carried on very secretly. The course OF
prices however in the Boston market, has
SHOWN thHt things are going on favorably.
A Boston dispatch received this afternoon

that the proposed combination of copper

the Anaconda's intention to add any west

anything about the effort of producers to

Not Candidate, but If Chosen Would Not
Decline.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1O.-It is asserted
by Francis ID. Locke, a personal friend of
Grover Cleveland, that Mr.. Cleveland ex-
presses himself as unalterably opposed to
the methods employed by the Hill faction
in this state. and while he is careful not to
express his feelings to any one connected
with the press, he does not hesitate to de-
nounce the February convention in no un-
certain language to his intimate friends.
Mr.. Locke said tonight that the x-presi-.
dent not long ago said to him that he was
in thorough sympathy with the protesting
of the May convention which is to be held
in Syracuse. and asserting, in his opinion,
it was the only way in which the demo-
Gratis of the state of New York could
properly manifest their opposition to the
methods employed bv Hills friends.
Regarding the position of Mr.. Cleveland
on the presidential question, Locke said
that Cleveland was not candidate.
"Mr.S Cleveland said to me few days
age" said Mr.. Locke 81 am not candi-
date for the presidential nomination, but
if the convention in Chicago sees fit to take
action in my favor cannot refuse to ac-
cept; however. shall be perfectly satisfied,
whatever the outcome of the convention
shall be-"
This statement. coming as it does from a
bosom friend of ex- President G eveland, is
regarded by majority of Mr.. Cleveland's g
friends in this citv as correctly represent
ing Mr. Cleveland's opinion in the matter.

Recoin m endatinns of the House Military
Committee From Congressman
Dixon and MIR. BlckfOrd.

WAsHlsGToN, March TO- Special. Tho
bill for establishing u military post at
Helenn was presented in the house to-day
and sent to tho committee OH the whole. #
was accompanied by unanimous favora-
BILE report of the members OF the house
committee on military affairs. The report
says "The Importance OF establishing
military post at Helena has been consid-
cred by the military authorities for some
time, and WAS presented to the war depart
ment prior to the consening of this con-
Rress. II Is regarded as moro necessary at
this time because tho question OF repairing
Fort Custer is pressed upon the attention
Of the department by the sad condition OF
the buildings ut that post. If the post at
Helena is established the ono at Fort Gus
ter can be abandoned much to the benefit
Of the service and the saving of expendi-
lures made necessary by the remotenesS of
Custer from railroads. and by the nature OF
the wagon roads to that point. The estab-
lishment of the post at Helena is in direct
accord with system of centrallzing large
forces at points of railroad intersection,
and establishing line of such posts across
the country at suitable distance from our
northern frontier"
Appendant to the report are letters from
the secretary of war. Gen. Miles and Gen.
Merritt Regarding the abandonment Of
other posts the committee say: Fort Mis-
soula we'll might be retained for some years
to come and possibly permanently. The
range Of mountains between it and Helena,
the proximity of Indians, and other cir
cumstances, sustain the retention of Fort
Mssoula.''
The bill amended appropriates 800 900
for tho Helena post whenever the govern
ment shall acquire title to not less than
1000 acres of land free of cost.
