penal clause of punishment prescribed, etc.
All the gentlemen named above urged that
a great majority of the railroads of the
country were in favor of the proposed
movement. Depew, in the course of his
remarks, said there were eight roads be-
tween New York and Chicago; but for all

one. If an ironclad rule OF equal rates

TEL COPPER
why the Anaconda and Other Companies
Are Closing Down..

Why the Anaconda and Other Companies
Are Closing Down.
A dispatch from New York. dated Dec. II,
says the copper combine organized last
spring to control the production and price
OF copper has finally got into effective work
ing order. and the agreement entered into
in March by the copper producers ls about
to be carried out. Among the most strlk-
ing results will be the shutting down of the
Anaconda company's mines at Butte and
the reduction of operations by the Boston
and Montana company, whose mines are
also at Butte.
There is inside information that these
moves will be made in the next two weeks.
IT is predicted that the Anaconda company
will cease to work completely by Dec. 10
and the Boston and Montana will make its
reduction by Dec. 80. The agreement en-
tered into last March was based on an in
crease for the year of 10 per cent on the
production of 1891. This, it is believed,
would hold the average price OF copper in
New York at l211aa cents per pound for lake"
and 11L cents for casting" The stipula-
tions limited the output of the big produc-
ers as follows:

IL, 600, 900
Total .226, oOO,O 600
The production outside of the combine
was estimated at 68. 434. GOO pounds.
The plans formulated upon this basis
were either not ratified, or were not a
source of confidence. They did not have
any immediate influence to strengthen the
market. 1t was denied that the Anaconda
company was a party to the agreement, and
while Hagqin preserved his usual silence.
he was generally regarded as a stumbling
black to the combine. Lewiston Bros, OF

A few days ago Marcus DAILY came from
Anaconda to confer with Haggin. He had
already laid off 1900 men employed in the

and there is little doubt that his mission is
to lay off the 800 men working in the Ana

off about 500 men, This will make a total

BIBLE, CHURCH AND REASON.
Dr. NrlgEs Explains His Capitalization o
Them as Authority.

Them as Authorfy.
New YoRK. Dec. M.-In his argument to-
day DR.. Briggs took up the second charge,
which alleged that he co-ordinated the
Bible. church and reason us sources of
divine authority in his celebrated inaugural
address. He sud he recognized the scrip
lures as really tho greatest authority of the
Christianity. He thought, however, the
nuthoss of tho Westminster confession had
not sufficiently recognized that the logos
was the light of the world, as taught in the
prologue Of Johns gospel. II Presbyterian
doctrines al taught by Westminster
divines were alone accepted and better be-
lieved. and II the more liberal modern
Presbyterian church reflected them. then
must soldiers of the salvation Army. mem
bers OF the Society OF Friends, unnum-
bered heathens. and the unbaptized chill
dren of Baptists, be considered ete: nally

He, for one, ia not willing to subscribe
to any such barbarity. The confession of
faith did recognizes hat the word should be
illuminated by the spirit of God in the
heart. The heather could be saved by the
shining of the loRos in their minds. and
not by belief in a Bible they knew nothlug
of. AS the Pharisses of old we're rebuked by
