POLICE COURT NOTES.
Two Suspicious Migrants Who Tried to
Sell a Watch.

Two Suspicious Migrants Who Tried to
Sell a Watch.
Two men, named John Mitchell and
James Wilson, we're before Judge Hawk
ins Monday on a charge Of vagrancy.
They were arrested while trying to dis
pose Of a watch which the police had
every reason to believe was stolen, from
the fact that their story of purchasing it
was found to be entirely false,
but as the marshal could get
no evidence as to whom it belonged, he
preferred the charge of vagrancy and the
court imposed a fine of s25 and costs on
each Of the men, giving them two hours
to escape serving 1t out by leaving town.
John Fisher, an old prospector, who
was let off light by the court on a charge
of drunkenness a few days ago, was up
again on the same old charge, and this
time the court gave him three days on
the chain gang.
Alex Berquist gave himself up as q
vag, because he had no place to sleep
and no money to get anything to eat
and the court dismissed the case against
him and told him to try and hustle q
job for himself.
James Scott, who had been warned to
leave town and neglected the advice, wal
given six days on the chain gang.

COPPER MARK EFT.
Still Talk of Combination to Reduce the
Production.

Still Talk Of Combination to Reduce the
Production.
The New York Mining and Engineer
ing Journal of last Saturday has the fol-
lowing to say Of the copper market:
"The market has been very quiet and
not much business has been doing. Con-
sumers are evidently very anxious to buy
at low figures, but find no encourage
ment on the part Of holders. There are
still a great many rumors to the effect
that negotiations are being carried on to
restrict production between the prin-
cipal producers, but no definite news
can be obtained, and if negotiations are
pending they are conducted in the strict
est secrecy. The event Of the week was
a sale of about 5000 tons of Boston and
Montana matte. containing very little ell
yer, which material was put in store here
during the year 1883 for account of the
French syndicate, and it has always
been understood that there was some lit
igation about this lot. The selling price
is Sc. 3d., C. i. f. Liverpool, and consider
ing that the cost price was at least los,
and that there was about six years in
tsrest, rent, fire insurance, etc, to be ad-
ded, n can easily calculate that hardly
anything will be left when the returns
are made. Consumption Of copper here
is said to be rather satisfactory. The
exports for this month are likely to be
heavy, as the above 5000 tors of matte
representing more than 5000 tons of fine
copper, will, we understand, be shipped
promptly. For lake copper we have still
to quote 91ac., but at THE price the prin-
cipal companies are not in the market.
Electrolytic copper is worth 94@2sc.,
and casting copper 9~95c.
"Lewis e. Sons Liverpool monthly
report Of November LIST says: Shipments
from the United States to Europe for
the past month show a considerable fall
an average Of $500 tons for the previous
three months, and against 11,473 tons
for October last year. Rumors have
been rife with regard to a satisfactory
conclusion of the negotiations to limit
production, but in the absence from New
York of the representatives of the COM
pany most largely interested, no definite
ettlement has yet been made. 1.-THE larg-
or producers would agree not to increase
their output it would appear that this

The Steinway Trust Declared to BE Con-
trary to Law.
New York, Nov. 21.-Justice Ingra-
ham, in the supreme court, has declared
invalid the 81 100000 trust created by
w. F. Il. Steinway in his will for the
benefit of his nephews and nieces. Mr..
Steinway died in March, 1889. BY his
will he left most Of his property to his
executors in trust for his brothers and
their children and the children Of his
sisters. He directed that 1000 shares Of
the Steinway company be held by the
executors as trustees until Jan. l, 1904.
After that date the bepeficiaries or their
heirs were to take absolutely.
Henry w. T. Steinway brought suit to
determine the validity Of the trust. JUS
tice Ingraham says that the trustees
cannot dispose Of the stock until 1904,
and the will might as we'll, as far as the
power of alienation goes, make the trust
good until 1904. He holds that the ty-
ing up of the stock for twenty years
from the time Of making the will con-
hicts with the statute forbiddlng a trust
from being tied up for more than two
lives in being.

TO MIND ITS own BUSINESS
And Not NEEDLE in the War, Even
at the Request of Con-
quered China.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The state de-
partment has received a cable reply from
Japan, through Minister Dunn at Toxic,
to the United States suggestion OF me-
diation. The Japanese legation at
Washington has also received from the
foreign office in Japan a cable stating a
reply had been made and giving it's
terms. Both we're received here Sun
day afternoon. The fact that they had
been sent first became known through a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Toxic. This much having become
known officials here made no further
concealment of details of the reply. The
cable to Secretary Gresham is accompa-
MED by unusual dignity and formality in
having the imperial sanction of his maj
esty the emperor of japan. 1t is rarely
the emperor speaks in diplomatic nego-
tiations, so his action in this case is evil
dence of Japan's desire to express it's
appreciation of the course Of the United
States. The message is in two parts:
First, giving imperial expression of good
will and saying the success Of the Japa-
nese army has been such that China
should approach japan directly. The
second part is more directly from Min
lister Dunn and expresses the view Of the
Japanese foreign office that China, hav-
ing no minister at Toxic, should submit
a direct proposition through Minister
Dunn. Cables to Minister Knrino are
substantially the same as the foregoing.

banks were closing their doors and men
who had been in the habit Of spending
money literally began to cut down every
unnecessary expense, the old Rainbow
club, which had once been a very pros
porous institution, entered on rocky
times and was finally obliged, like some
more important concerns, to close its
doors, much to the regret of many of the
citizens. However, since prosperity has
once more visited the city a number Of
gentlemen determined to again have
a first-class club house. The result Of
several consultations and meetings
among those interested YVES that a new
club, to be known as the Electric City
club, was organized and articles of incor-
poration have been signed and duly filed
with the county clerk. The member
ship Of the Electric City club is large
