IN Montana the decreased price of sill

production Of copper, the silver being
large factor in the profit obtained from
tn ore. In Colorado, of course. tn,
blow was temporarily a crushing one
The stoppage of silver mines practically
meant the stoppage Of the production
or lead and copper, the closing OF thu
smelters, and, as a consequence, the al
most complete suspension of coal mining
operations.
Such reverses as these must of course
require a very considerable period tc
overcome, n the fate or these western
states for the next few years is a question
which would puzzle the wisest to deter
mine. The chances are, however, that
the decrease in the price of silver will be
met by reduction of wages and the use
OF economical processes for smelling,
which will make it possible to utilize
this precious metal to a wider extent

effect that an old-time member of the
whisky pool, and subsequently of the trust
now livirg in this city, will be called be-
fore the congressional committee invest
igating the whisky trust His testimony
is likely to be sensational as he has been
gathering letters, telegrams and papers
showing the methods of the trust. In-
eide facts will be detailed of alleged
frauds against the government since
1865, in which many prominent polltic-
ians of the present time figure who have
been from time to time connected with
the internal revenue department. One
of the startling features of his evidence,

chlorination and bleaching works. 1t is

no representative of the company lives
here who can give it, but it is not less
than $150,000, and some estimate it at
100000, as part of the machinery was
very expensive. None of he local in
surance agents had ever placed any in
surance, and none was on the property
unless placed from the New York Office.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
by some is supposed to be incendiary,
while others think it is the work of
tramps. On account OF the scarcity of
water the works had been cloasd fcl
several weeks, ard there had been no
fire on the premises. While the or
ganizstion is known as the Commercial
Mining company, the stock is all owned
by Phelps, Dodge & Co. of New York,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--United States
Fish Commissioner Mcdonald does not
look for any legislation by the present
congress for the preservation of the sal
mon fisheries of Alaska, but it is his
purpose to make determined effort to
secure legislation on the subject by the
next congress. Notwithstanding the
elaborate reports submitted, the COM
missioner says it is impossible to i'm.
press upon the legislators the impor-
tance of the industry in the United
States and the enormous pecuniary in
terests involved. Commissioner Nc
Donald says if the salmon in Alaskan
waters were properly cared for the in
dustry would in short time be more
valuable to the United States than the
sealing interests of the Bering sea, over
which there is so much discussion. I'm
lees some regulations are soon provided
by congress- he fears the indlscrlminate
catch OF salmon will be so great that the
supply will be exhausted.

II the committee reports a rule requiring
final vote on the silver bill in certain

the measure / am satisfied the bill will
pass the house. In the senate,
however, there is sufficient
minority against the repeal of the Sher-

age of the bill this session. The time is
too short. in my opinion, for the repeal
of the silver law at the present session. F."

OMAHA, Feb. "a special to the Bee
from Rushville, Neb., says: Another
chapter in the shooting tragedy on the
Sioux reservation was enacted Friday
evening near the spot where the four
white men were killed. As soon as the
news Of the tragedy was brought to Pine
Ridge Captain Brown, the agent, dis
patched twelve mounted police under
command of Police Sergeant Joe Bush
to the scene of the shooting, with in
structions to arrest and bring in the per-
petrators of the bloody work. When
the squad arrived at their destination.
Two Sticks and his crowd opened fire on
them and a skirmish took place, result
ing In the death of two of Two Sticks
party and the wounding of one of Two
Sticks sons and another buck wae killed
and Two Sticks and one man wounded.
Two Sticks other son, too, was wounded
eighty in the ankle.
Another account of the affair is that
when the police squad reached the camp
they opened fire on the party they were
sent to arrest without warning and
without making their mission known,
and shot them down in cold blood; but
this version Of the affair is not substan-
tiated and is not believed to be correct.
More definite details concerning the
killing of the four whites reached here
this evening Although the names of
all the men cannot be definitely learned,
yet it, is known that Clark Bacon and
his son-in-law were not among the num-
ber. The motive for the murder cannot
be definitely learned.
