No Delegates to BE Appointed by the
President.

1t is practically certain that there will
be no participation by America In the FRO
posed monetary conference. under the pro-
vision of the sundry civil bill. 1t is re-
garded as doubtful whether the delegates
elected under this provision would have
authority to consider any question except
that of ratio and free coinage of silver,
and 1t Is said that Mr.. Cleveland does not
expect to appoint any commissioners un-
der this plan, if at all.
1t is not believed now that the monetary
conference will be held, but, If 1t is, this
country will either not be represented or
else will be represented by delegates Se-
lected by the President under the general
law. In other words, the action OF Con-
gress in authorizing the selection of three
Senators and three members of the House
by the respective houses of Congress, ind
of three private citizens by the President,
will amount to nothing. This Is realized
now by the members of Congress selected
on the commission, and the President Is
said to have no thought Of making any
appointments.
In view of the almost certain failure of
this move for an international conference,
it is heing urged that invitations should be
sent out by this country for foreign ma
tions to join us in a conference to be held
in Denver, Col. This proposition, however,
does not appeal to the President, and there
is no probability of it's being carried out

The Montana Mining, Loan and In
vestment Company.
PRESIDENT HENRY M. HAUPq ON TRIAL
Deluded Purchasers With WORTH

DID A BIG BUSIN S

BUTTE. Mont, March 26.-Henry NJ.
Haupt, president Of the Montana Mining,
Loan and Investment Company. is on trial
In the United States court here on the
charge of sending unavailable matter
through the post office. The testimony in
troduced has developed a gigantic swim
ding scheme, in which many prominent
men were innocently implicated. The COM
pany claims to have paid-up capital stock
of S12,OOOOOO and its stock Is valued at
$12O a share. 1t was organized in January,
1892. and has been doing a tremendous
business since. Upon the representation,
30 the government witnesses said, that he
intended TO organize legitimate mining
company, Haupt induced John E. Rick
ards, present governor of the state, ex-
County Treasurer H. c. Kessler, P. A.
Largey. H. G. Valitoo, NJ. L. Holland and
C.J.Stephenson, all prominent and wealthy
mining men, to join the Incorporation. With
the names of these corporators he then
went to all the banks ard secured permis-
sion to use their names as reference.
dozen worthless mining claims We're
located by him and decided to the company
in consideration of 500 in cash and The
entire capital stock. He then sent out
= circulars all over the world. advertising the
property highly developed and valuable
and sold the stock on the monthly INSTALL
ment plan, issuing certificates at 81 each.
One hundred thousand certificates were
Issued each month, and the purchaser of a
certificate was entitled to apply for loan
in any sum under $4,000. The trustees of
the company pretended to meet every
month and apportion s50,O00 among the
borrowers. The person securing a loan
was required to give a note for the amount,
payable in 1912, without interest Sc
curity.
When the purchaser had 100 certificates
he was entitled to share of stock. The
remaining $4,000 from the monthly sale of
certificates was supposed to go into office
expenses and the development of the COM
pany'S mines
The testimony at the trial showed that
Haupt was the sole manager of the con-
cern and reaped all the profits. He ap-
portioned the loans in cities where he
thought he should have bigger returns and
induce others to purchase certificates.
When the incorporators and the banks
learned of the swindling nature of the
company they drew out of it. and the trus-
tees withdrew the stock from the market,
but this did not disconcert Haupt, for he
selected new trustees and continued his
operations. The entire property of the
company is not worth over $1,000, and its
mines. which located near Butte.

VIII Comply With the Law.

Several days ago the attention of Mr.
James w. Archer, superintendent of the
pension building, was informed that
John Byrd of Philadelphia, who has
the contract for coppering the roof
of that building, was working his
men nine hours a day. Superintendent
Archer then addressed a communication to
the contractor, pointing out to him the
provisions of the eight-hour law, and re-
minding him that the law was manda tory.
Last evening Contractor Byrd came over
from Philadelphia, and at a conference
with Superintendent Archer signitied his
disposition to comply with the law, and de-
clared that hereafter his men should work
but eight hours q day. The work of re-
oopperng the roof began last week, and the
contractor has sixty days within which to
complete the contract.

SENIOR DEPUY DE LONE
The New Representative Of the Spanish
Government at Washington.
One of the AbIest Men In the Diplo-
matte Service of His COuntry-He
Preceded Senior Muruaga.

Senior Depuy de LONE, who has been Sc
lected to succeed Senior Muruaga as the
diplomatic representative Of the Spanish
government at Washington, is regarded as
one of the ablest men in the diplomatic
service OF that country. He is well known
in this city, having preceded Mr.. Muruaga
as minister to the United States. Although
his service in that capacity lasted oEly six
months. 1t was sufficient to demonstrate
his capabilities and make him many friends
and admirers in this country His detach-
ment was mainly due to the fact that he Is
a conservative, and the radical party, to
which Senior Muruaga belongs, was then
in power. Now the politics of Spain have
taken another shift, ard Mr.. de Lone
comes back to his former station. He also
served In this country as one Of Srain's
worlds fair commissioners, the post being
particularly important at a time when one
of Spain's royal family, Princess Eulalie,
visited the worlds fair as the guest of the
nation.
Acceptable to This Government.
Although it is not admitted at the State
Department. it is understood that Senior de
Lomes appointment to this diplomatic
station was not made until it was officially
ascertained that it was entirely acceptable
to this government. This condition is con-
sidered essential to a proper conduct of the
correspondence and negotiations on the
various important questions at issue be-
tween the two countries. Although no de-
mand had been made for the recall of
Senior Muruaga, recent occurrences have
severely strained the relations between that
official and Secretary Gresham. to an ex-
tent as to destroy the minister's useful
ness in his present field of duty. Regard
less of the desire of Secretary Gresham in
the matter, Minister Muruaga has en-
deavored to be relieved of further service
here, and only withdrew his resignation at
the instance of his own government In
view of existing complications, however, 1t
is believed that he will remain at his post
until his successor arrives here and re-
ports for duty.
VIII Re Gnzetted.
MADRID, March 26.-The appointment of
Senior Dupuy de LONE Senior Muruaga's
successor will be gazetted soon as it is
known that the appointment receives the
approval of the United States government.

The meeting of the Town Trustees Mon
day night was the occasion of two in
clplent rows originating in the passage of
the electric light BILL Trustee Jones, the
pea GLOWING member OF the board, was
absent, and when the passage of the bill
was brought up the contending factions
OF the board fell out. Vote after vote was
taken, butt without result, and finally
trustees Whiting and Hadlen arose and
left the council chamber.
While the discussion on the bill was in
progress, Trustee Steubenrauch and Town
Clerk Preble had little spat After the
departure OF Whiting and Hadlen, the
manager, of the electric-lght company APP
preached President Acton and tried to
persuade him to sign the bill. The Trustee
refused, and, the entreaties being renewed,
uncermoniously repulsed the manager.
Previous to the rows the Trustees re-
scinded the ordinances for the opening of
MiiYia street and the stopping of overland
trains at West Berkeley The protest
against the Alcatraz-ayeDue sewer was
oyerruled and it was decided to open the
following streets to deep water: Parker,
