BISHOP HAS a BIG MINE
1t Assays Away Up In call and FabrI-
cation

| Ctl1Ons
| BUTTE, Feb. 24.-Fired with envy by
the record of the notorious Charles Porter
Grove, blind man, who gives the name
| OF 1homas Bishop, is just now following
close in Groves footsteps and trying To
work the old fllm-fiam mine game on the
| innocent grangers in the east. Bishop
| claims Butte as his home; he also claims
to own about all of the gold mines in
Montana that are worth having and with
all this, which is as unusual as il is re-
freshing, he also claims to own the Nc
Dermott hotel which he has been telling
the credulous eastern people is located
right on top OF the richest gold leads in
the country. Being the owner of so MANY
fabulously rich properties he naturally
has some for sale and from all accounts
he seems to have been doing a fiourishing
business in the easy and effete east.
Eastern people will jump at anything
that has gold in it with the same avidity
that Joe Crossman will pounce on a good
thing in horse race, and the smooth
blind man seems 10 have run up against
very large and we'll assorted stock of
suckers.
Several letters concerning Bishops re-
liability have been received hero lately
but no one in Butte seems to know any
thing about him. Mayor Dugan TODAY
received the following letter from the edi-
tor of the Seward, Neb.. Blade.

Edison's Kinetoscope and a Very Funny
ss Letter.

s....s Letter.
BUTTE, Feb. 24.-Edison's latest won
der, the kaleidoscope. which has been on
exhibition in Butte for some time, is fully
as mystliying an exhibition as the phono-
graph and 1t has created many amusing
lhcidents' as well as attracting wide
spread attention.
The kinetoscope is to the eve what the
monograph is to the ear and Edison is
now at work on a combination of these
two marvellous inventions, which, if they
can be arranged TO work together. will
constitute the GROWING wonder of the
century. The kaleidoscope is the instru-
nent that reproduces the views or actions
taken by the photograph. which is i'm part
a Photographic camera so arranged with
attachments and devices emanatinp from
Edison's fertile brain that it takes as SEN
arate and distinct views of moving OH
jects or scenes during each second of ex-
posture. These photographs are recorded

pared Tor reproduction in the kineto-
scope.
The kaleidoscope is in the shane of .
handsome hardwood cabinet, and con-
tains a mechanical device operated nv
electricity which is so constructed as To
run the films-containins the views photo-
Graphed by the kinetograph-past a given
point at a speed of about 46 for each seq
ond. The person who desires to witness
a reproduction of the views looks down

before his eyes with such rapidity that he
sees one continuous view. Anything in

duced exactly true to nature. The action
OF the kaleidoscope is so swift that a bullet

by 1t, and given faithful reproduction in
the kinetoscope.

wilderment 10 great many people. and |

amlneds the machine critically and then
stood around for two or three hours

made the operator understand by sions

quest was readily granted, the door was
opened, and when he saw nothing bur a |

Inystiiled than ever. The next day he re- |
turned with little Indian girl, who had |
great fun with the photograph, but could
not understand the kaleidoscope.

kURINO RIDICULEs THE STORY
Says the Japanese win Never Re n Danger
In tho Hawaiian Islands.

In the Hawaiian Islands.
WASHINGTON, May 1O-The attention OF
Minister Kurino Of Japan was called to a dis
patch from San Francisco published yester-
day ntimating that there is liability OF
trouble from the japanese in the Hawaiian
islands. Thc dispatch in question purports
to contain information recently received by
C. w. Ashford from Hawaii to the effect that
the japanese in the islands are in a feversh
and excited state, owing to Japan's victory
over China; that therl are number Of
trained leaders among them, and that they
threaten to come forward and become a
serious factor in the affairs Of Hawaii. Ku-
rino characterized these statements as absurd
and ridiculous in thc extreme. The Japanese
in Hawaii he says, are an orderly and indus
trious people. Most of them are farmers and
none Of them have received military train
ing. They have shown no disposition at any
time tC be turbulent or to do anything more
than to preserve the status secured to them by
treaty. MIR. Kurlno said that any statement
which ascr.bed to them the purpose Of forcibly
interfering in Hawaiian affairs is manfesly
false since nothing could be palmer than
that the japanese government would sternly
and dscisively disCountenance such unauthor-
lied interference by any of its subjects in the
matters of friendly state.
Mr.. Kurino is at a loss to account for these
constantly recurring rumors regarding the
probability of misconduct on the part of the
Japanese in Hawaii He could only ascribe
them he said. to a desire on the part of some
Hawaiian politicians to show that the presence
of Japanese in Hawaii is a constant menace
and thus to advance other purposes which
tbs authors of these false stories have in
view

Prevented Government Troop' from Land

NEW YORK May 10.-A special from
Panama dated May 9, says: The British
bark Chala, which arrived here this morn
ing. carried $50 troops of the government of
Ecuador from Manta. conveyed by the gun
boat Cotopaxi, carrying 200 to Puntasua, off
Esmeralda May g.
In trying to effect a landing the troops
met with continuous firing from the shore,
and were forced to retreat with heavy losses.
Captain Bayano of the Cotopaxi, realizing
the uselessness of his guns at that distance
from Puntasua, turned his course to point
near Esmeraldas, and began TO shell the town
effectively. Then he threatened a regular
bombardment, unless the rebels evacuated
their position within twenty-four hours At
this juncture the Ranger, under cabled or
ders of the United States to protect American
interests made her appearance. 1t was
timely entrance on the scene. Captain Wat
son of the Ranger landed Immediately under
a flag of truce and his wise counsel and
friendly influence prevailing, the rebels

The rebels remain encamped in the vicinity.

CHINA NOW A PROMISING FIELD
New Treaty with Japan Opens Up the
Country to Trade.

New Treaty with Japan Opens Up the
Country to Trade.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Large opportun-
tiles for the introduction Of American ma
chinery and the investment of American
capital are offered by the peace agreement
which Japan has effected with China. A
provision is made that China shall hereafter
be open to the introduction of all forms Of
modern machinery and that such machinery
shall be admitted free Of duty. American
cotton machinery should benefit especially
from the new opening presented and also
telephones, electric lights. printing presses
and many other devices of civilization which
heretofore have been kept out Of China The
emperor Of China has heretofore prohibited
the introduction of modern machinery AS
result the Chinese are using wooden plows
similar to those used a century ago. Modern
tools are included under the head of machin-
cry and mechanical devices, so the American
plow and all other implements and tools
will enter China free of duty. 1t is stated
that cotton machinery will be brought at
once into extensive use, thus enlarging the
demand for the raw cotton of the southern
states.
The Chinese use so much cotton that the
emperor granted a monopoly Of using cotton
machinery to the vceroy of the southern
provinces of China. He has since produced
large quantities and has prevented the
British and the Americans at Shanghai and
elsewhere from using similar machinery.
Now, however, the viceroy's monopoly is at
an end, and American machinery is expected
to be freely introduced there. The privi-
leges secured by Japan are enjoyed by the
world at large, as the most favored nations
clause compels China to give other cOun-
tries the same favors extended to Japan,

People Compelled to Leave All Outdoor
Work in the Afternoon.
KANSAS CITY, May 10.-One of the worst
sand and dust storms in years prevailed in
Oklahoma and at one or two points in Kan
sas today. At Pittsburg, Kan. compara-
lively no outdoor work could be done. A
dust storm blew nearly the entire after
noon, caking everything in its path The
ground is baked and all crops suffering for
want of rain. Here, as at most points
Throughout Kansas, yesterdays heated spell
followed by a drop in temperature of
nearly 20 degrees.
At Guthrie, Ok., a terrific wind storm
from the north struck the town this after
noon and the temperature fell rapidly. The
air suddenly become dark with dust and
sand and for a time the people sought their
cyclone cellars in fear of a twister Ten
miles northeast Of Guthrie the storm did
partake of a cyclone and much damage was
done, though as far as can be learned to-
night, nobody was injured
At Kingfsher, Okl., sand storm OF great
violence ragged from | O'Clock in the after
noon until late in the evening. The fore
noon had been intensely hot. Shortly after
o'clock a norther came up with remark
able suddenness, driving things before it
with frghtful veloity. For five hours the
storm kept up with unabated fury, the tenn
perature during that time falling 81 de-
grees. The sand carried before the storm
drifted like snow, while the dust and debris
caught up made the atmosphere almost un-
bearable and pedestrianism extremely dan
gerous. 1t is believed nobody in this vicinity
was hurt though worse reports are likely
to come from the country towns, which 1t
is known must have been struck with the
storm.
The town of Hennessey was also struck,
but the extent of the damage suffered there,
IL any is not known.
