SOME PECULIAR FACTS,
Revealed Since the Adjournment of the
Industrial Conference

Revealed Since the AdJjournm ent of the
Industrial Conference.
ST. Louis, Feb, 27.--Now that the indus
trial conference is over some peculiar facts
arc being revealed. 1t is said that the en-
tire affair, from the issuing Of tho call by
the Ocala convention to the present day,
was planned and executed by j. i. Weaver,
lgnatius Donnelly. Herman II. Tanber-
neck, g. T. Washburne, J. II. Davis, &. C.
Post, Of Georgia. and J. IL. Norton. Of
Chicago. 1t becaEe evident that the
southern element was strongly opposed TO
independent political action and that the
leaders in this line were Dr. Macune and
Ben Terrill, Of Texas, and Livingston,
of Georgia. Those in favor Of such
action saw that something de-
cided had to be done. and quickly.
After the convention was called to
meet at st. Louis, so it would be near Kan
sas and Nebraska, two strong alliance and
third party states matters were so shaping
themselves that it was becoming necessary
to destroy the influence Of the southern
leaders opposed to third party action.
Here the Washburne- Taubeneck party
showed its inesse with the aid of Post, Of
Georgia, and j.. IL. Davis, Of Texas. The
alliance men of those two states were 80
worked upon rs to come to the support of
the third party. The anti-third party feel
inp having thus been practically stamped
out. steerers came to st. Louis and began
their work here to control the convention.
With what success they met the result of
the convention shows.

ADJUSTMENTS

The announcement that the celebrated
mlnd-reader, Carl King, and the famous
musical artists, the Spanish Trobadours
will give two Of their unique and highly
interesting entertainments in this city next
Wednesday and Thursday evenings will, no
doubt be hailed with pleasure by all lovers
Of first-class amusement. The mystery Of
mind-reading is little understood even by
the very few who are gifted with the faculty
by the ignorant, or those who have never
seen its remarkable manifestations. 1t is
often confounded with spiritualism and
second sight; but it is a totally different
thing. Mr.. King, since the death of
Bishop, has been regarded as the foremost
mind-reader Of the dav. Young, vigorous,
with bright mind and q flow of wit and
humor, he never fails to interest an aud
ience. He performs the most difficult feats
with ease and rapidity. Blindfolded, he
seems to penstrate his subject like fash
An attractive feature of the entertainment
is the music of the Spanish Troubadours,
on the mandolin and guitar. All the gems
from we'll known operas, such as ''Semira-
mide, !" "Favorite," etc, as we'll as such
popular airs as "Mary Green,' "Rogie
Man, and others are given by them with
equal facility.

Dingley, Republican from Maine, in a
senile Roll.
WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-In the house Ding
ley, (Me.), presented for reference pre-
amble and resolution reciting that the
democratic party, in order to avoid raising
direct issue on the principles which
separate the republican and democratic
parties in the approaching presiden tal
election, was trying to make the people be-
l1eVe that there is a question ut issue be-
tween the two parties as to whether the
appropriations and expenditures of the
government shall be economical. The re-
solution then goes on to say that the So
called leaders of the democratic party. in
pursuance of this plan and in support of
their unfounded charges of wicked extra
vagance against a republican congress, and
their equally unfounded claims Of
superior honesty and economy for the
present democratic congress find it neces-
sary to defer all appropriations until the
second session of the present congress after
the presidential election, in order that they
may be able to point, during the campaign.
to an apparent reduction of appropriations
Ill support OF their charges and claims.
Resolved, That in order to further this
plan of campaign, it IS mex xuedient to pro-
vide for the construction of any of the
numerous public buildings which congress
intends to authorize until tho second ses-
sion, after the presidential election shall
have becn decided and the necessity for
which, rs denloeratio members seem to
think, exists for pressing the false issue of
economy III lieu of the real issues and prin-
ciples which shall divide parties have passed
away.

Similar Nature.
Three Lives Lost in One Day In the Ann.
conda-Ihe Company Exoner-
nted From blame.

BUTTE. Fab. 27.-[Special. Three men
were killed in the mines of the Anaconda
company here this afternoon. On the 300
foot level OF the High Ore mine, ut about
two O'Clock, fifteen tons of earth and rock
fell from the hanging wall. Az the time Of
the accident Thomas Carroll, G. Frank and
y. Doyle were stopping together on the
3OO-foot level in what is known among the
miners as the Belle mine, which is in re-
ality part of the High Ore and reached by
the same shaft. The place was one which
has always been considered safe. Without
seconds warning, about fifteen tons of
rock and earth tore loose from the over
hang ing wall and buried the poor fellows
beneath it's ponderons weight, crushing
their lives out almost instantly. One cry,
|. which reached the innermost recessea Of
the levels, alarmed the other men who
were working near. and who rushed to the
spot. but all that they could do was to re-
move the weight Of orc and earth from the
bodies and carefully convey them to the
surface. They were then carried into the
engine room. A physician was summoned
as soon MS possible, and an examination re-
vealed the fact that Carroll's neck had
been broken, while Doyle had received
fractures of the SKULL either one of which
would have been sufficient to cause almost
instantaneous death. Carroll came to
Butte. about month ago from Lake Su-
perior, and had no relations nor intimate
friends living here SO far as known. He
was about 30 years of age. Doyle had al
ways lived here and numbered friends by
the hundred. He lived with his widowed
mother.
jeffrey Kane was the victim of the casu-
atty at the st. Lawrence. The accident oc-
CURED in the 800-foot level, west at about
2:3O O'Clock p. m. Kane had been at work
during the day on the third floor of the
level, cleaning up some ore that had broken
through the floor above. while two Of the
other members Of the set, Thos. Lannon
and Mike Sullivan, were blasting upon the
fifth floor. Pete Curran, the fourth man.
was engaged in passing the timbers at the
time Of the accident. At IL O'Clock Ian
non sssf3ullivan had made a blast: at two
O'Clock the shift boss came along and told
them to timber the place up Immediately.
One of the mon started off for some tim
bers, but he had been gone only few min
utes when big lump of rock and ore
passed through the fifth and fourth floors,
crushing Kane against the wall and killing
him almost instantly. When found he was
in partly upright position, with his right
arm raised as though to shield himself
from the awful weight which no power
could have checked. His right arm was
broken at the wrist but he sustained no
other apparent injuries and probably died
from suffocation. Kane was 25 years of age
and unmarried. The coroner's inquest re-
lieved the company from blame in the
matter.

The House Takes Action on an Important
Line of Policy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The house Of rep
resentatives to-day, in considering the In
dian appropriation bill, authorized an ino-
vation which, if concurred in by the senate.
will be Of great interest to Indian agents
and officers of the regular army. An
amendment proposed by Bowers (Cal. was
adopted providing that the president may
detail officers of The army to act as Indian
agents whenever vacancies occur. On mo-
tlOn of Holman it was amended to pro-
vide that such officers, while acting as In
dian agents, be under the orders and direc-
tions of the secretary of the interior. In
advocating his amendment Bowers said
that sooner or later the people would COM
pei the adoption Of tho principle involved
therein. Army officers are second to no
people on earth in the matter Of integrity
and honor. If they performed the duties
Of Indian agents the Indians would be
fairly dealt with and there would be no
agents get into trouble army officers are
called on to quell the disturbance. Hol-
mans amendment mentioned above was
adopted.
Simpson (Kan.) favored Bowers amend
nent, and said it was the first time he had

tlon to put the army to some useful en-
ployment and take political strikers out of

agreed to Bowers amendment as amended,

quorum. Wilson (Wash.) said evidently
taere was quorum. The chair (1synun,)
replied that there was evidently quorum

FREE COINAGE, FREE SILVER.
Discussed at tho Annual Dinner Of tho
Chicago Bankers

Chicago bankers.
CH1cAao, Feb. 27.-A notable affair to-
night was the annual dinner of the
Chicago Bankers' club. feature
of which was an address in
advocacy of the free coinage of silver. by
President William p. st. John, of
the Mercantile National bank Of
New York. Free coinage and free
ailyer, he said. are common but misleading
terms for the proposal to restore the coinage
system Of tho United States founded
under Washington, advised BY Hamilton,
recommended by Jefferson and ratified by
jackson; that the system of equally
unrestricted coinage of gold and silver.
which it is now proposed TO reinstate, was
maintained continuously for 80 years. until
it's overthrow unnoticeably in 1873, and yet
no objections are now too paradoxical
to hail from one and the same
antagonist Of silver coinage. President ST.
John analyzed the monetary condi-
showing that there is a need of
silver, amid the worlds insuficiency of
gold. II Europe should desire to
discard her silver he said the statis-
tics of the worlds consumption of silver
at present, including our treasury adoption,
would appear to be in excess of the worlds
spite of the fluctuations of the price,
which reduced India's absorption BY
over $17,00O,O00 worth of silver dur
ing nine months. He argued that the
proposed fxlty of price for silver at
our mints would SO enlarge India's
absorption as to assure the permanency
Of our law successfully. In conclusion, he
said the proposed re-openinQ Of mints to
gold and silver alike besides main
tanning the party Of the bullion
value Of our value will provide
for the automatic issue Of money limited
BY the mine product Of hard labor. The
sole alternative su suggested is the inestimably
capricious issue Of linlitless legal tende t
notes.

Silver SDecial Order

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-As result OF in
formal talk between the three democratic
members of the committee on rules, Crisp,
Catchings and McMillin. the determine
tion was reached to bring IN special order
on the silver question. 1t was determined
to make the Bland bill u special order for
March u or y, though this date may be
changed. The purpose is to give tho bill
four days for consideration in tho house.
Within this time it is to be debated and
brought to u vote. If necessary, because
Of tilibastering. rule will be brought in to
bring the matter to vote. 1t is the pur-
pose of the antl-silver men to fight tho spe-
clal order of the rules committee at the
very outset and endeayor to defeat it. A
large number of members of congress con-
ferred with the speaker during the day and
all gave opinions on the silver question.
