have a scheme on foot to concentrate
their entire strength at MINNEAPOLIS and
show to the delegates there assembled
that the white metal issue is BY no means
lost cause. There is every probability
that a combination will be made by the
western states which will center around
Colorado as the head Of the movement
This scheme will probably not be fully
developed before the delegates meet at
Minneapolis, but that such a movement
is ia progress is known to be 4 fact
1t is certain that Colorado, Idaho, Mon

other states will organize in favor Of a

that this combination will gather

TO win this fight there is q possibility that

The silver men may give up the fight
for the craftsmanship and the skirmish
for victory may be postponed until the

that their plan is to get as many silver

The silver Republicans, however, are feel

LONDON, May 90 Emperor William of
Germany is indeed a very sick man.
Europe must be prepared for startling
news concerning him. A high parsonage
connected with the court in Windsor
castle is authority for the statement that
the Kaiser is suffering, not only bodily
ailment, but also from mental derange-
ment. BY special courier, who arrived
this afternoon, the Queen was informed
that her illustrious grandson was in a
fainting fit for four hours, from to 5 a.
m. Friday and that the court physicians
at one time feared he would not come
out Of the ordeal alive. The greatest
CONSERVATION reigned at Potsdam when
the facts were made known there, his
sickness occurring in East Prussia, On
Friday morning the court physicians
held consultation, and it was their
recommendation, it is understood, that
formed the basis for the courier's message
received in London. Briefly, the medical
men advise that if the Emperor wishes to
prolong his life he must temporarily
resign control of the government and
retire for a long sojourn to the Swiss
mountains in absolute freedom from all
state business. After the doctors had
had their say, the Kaiser sent for Chan

The Champion.
Various and conflicting rumors CON
cerning strike in the Champion have
been in circulation the past ten days,
some of which, if true, would reduce the
Granite Mountain to mere prospect in
comparison. information from authentic
sources, however, disproves the report
that the Champion has opened into a
bonanza. What it really has encountered
is four-foot chute of fair ore on the 500
level. The main body is no richer than
that milled the past year, the difference
being that it is impregnated throughout
with stringers Of brittle silver that return
independent assays of quite 1900 ounces
and which raise the grade Of the whole
to from SO to $3S5 per ton. Of itself this
IS, of course, great, and only the CONT
nuity of the chute at its present grade
needs to be proven to fix the Champions
status as one of the great mines of Mon
tana. In this connection the result Of
