BOOM OF MINING STOCKS
No Abatement of the Active
Speculation in Colorado
Exchanges.
High Prices Are Reached and the
Owners of Shares Are Stub.
born1y Holding On.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 30.-There was
little activity on the Denver Mining Ex-
change to-day because of the rapid rise in
quotations of nearly all Cripple Greek
stocks. Brokers do not like to fill orders
for customers at prices which seem too
high, and a general decline is anticipated.
Holders of advancing stocks as rule pre-.
fer to take their chances, and selling orders
are few. The amount of new money com
ing in for investment in stocks is surpris-
ingly large, and to this fact is due the
strength of the mining stock market.
The officially reported sales to-day
amounted to 733,027 shares, and for the
week 1883, 1852 shares.
The strength of Cripple Creek stocks is
based upon the buying demand, and that
comes because of the belief that the stocks
of companies operating in Cripple Greek
have speculative and also a prospective
value. The camp is now producing about
800 tons of ore per day, all the smelters
and reduction works have more ore Offered
them than they can use, and enough ore
is now in sight to keep busy mills of double
the capacity of those now operating. Te
this splendid condition is added the prob
ability of more rich strikes in the district
where so much activity is noted.

BEFORE THE JUSTICES.
The Assistant Attorney General
Tells of MIR. Foote'S


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 30.-The
ssh Francisco dispatch stating that
United States District Attorney Foote
had notified the Attorney General
of that State and the attorneys
for the California Board of Railroad
Commissioners that the United States had
determined to contest the action of the
Commissioners in ordering the Southern
Pacific Railway Company to inaugurate a
schedule of reduced rates, was read with
much Interest by the officials OF the De-
partment of Justice.
Assistant Acknowledgement Russell, who
is in charge of litigation affecting the land
grant and bond-aided railroads, stated that
District Attorney Foote had acted in the
matter without specific instructions from
the Attorney General.
His position as the legal representative
of the Government in that State and the
general instructions from the department,
Mr.. Russell said. were sufficient warrant
for the District Attorney acting as he had,
and especially if he believed the case to be
one demanding immediate attention.
The interest of the Government in the
case, if it had any, Mr.. Russell explained
was due to the fact that the Southern Pa
cific Company was the lessee OF the Cen
trail Pacific Company, which was debtor
to the United States in many millions of
dollars.

BIDS FOR BATTLESH|PS,
One of the Vessels, at Least, Will
Be Constructed by the New.
port News Company.
The Union Iron Works, However, Is
Yet Confident of Securing One
Of the Contracts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3O.-It is
regarded as remarkable by naval officers
that the lowest bid for the new battleships
should have come from the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, and no doubt is
expressed that the Kearsarge and perhaps
her sister armor-clad will be awarded to
that company, which is largely owned by
Coils ?. Huntington.
This company, which is less than ten
years old, has already built two cruisers
for the Government, as well as a large
mum Der of steel merchant vessels, and it is
regarded by experts as the most modern
and best equipped plant in the world.
President C. P. circuit of the com pany
who attended the opening of bids to-day
is confident that the award will be made to
him. as his figures are each $4,000 less
than the heaviest competitor, the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco.
In his opinion the provision of Congress
that one of the vessels should be built on
the Pacific Coast, if it could be done rea.
sonably, will count for nothing, as Con.
gress, he says, certainly did not intend to
give bonus of 100000 or 100000.
Mr.. Orcutt says the Newport News COM
pany was enabled to bid so low for these
ships because the facilities of his yard en-.
able good work to be done cheaper there
than elsewhere, and that it is the only
yard in the country where battle-ships can
be locked.
The Newport News Company submitted
the lowest bid for constructing one ves-
sci, 81, $50, 900, and both vessels, So, $50 900
each. The Union Iron Works bid was,
one vessel, 50, 74O. 600; both vessels, So, 64O,-
900 each. Cramps bid for one vessel was
81, $40, 900, and for both vessels 81, $50, 900
each.
Henry T. Scott of the Union Iron Works
said to THE CALL correspondent Tonight:
1--WE believe that one battle-ship will be
built on the Pacific Coast, inasmuch as the
difference in the bids was not considerab BILE
and the intention of Congress as expressed
in the appropriation act favored the con-
struction of one of the vessels there, pro-
vided the bids were reasonable"

day at o'clock to ncminats men for the
offices of clerk, doorkeeper5 sergeantatA
arms, postmaster and chaplain of the Fifty
fourth Congress, which will convene on
Monday next. The rollcall disclosed the
presence of seventy-fve members, an I'M
usually large number, when the perfume
tory character of the proceedings is re-
membered.
On molion of Mr.. Catchings of Missis-
sippi Mr. Sayers of Texas was chosen tenn
porary chairman. Mr.. Lester of Georgia
proposed the names of Messrs. Rusk of
MARYLAND and Robertson Of Louisiana as
the permanent secretaries of the Demo-
cratic caucus. They were elected unani-
mously, as was Mr.. Culberson of Texas for
permanent chairman.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee nominated
ex-Speaker Crisp of Georgia for Speaker,
and in putting him in nomination said:
To-day without q doubt majority OF
American voters are Democrats, and if the
white men of the country alone are esti-
mated there is no question but that our
party has majority of more than 1,00O,O DOC
voters. No true Democrat need then de-
spair nor give up the ship. Our party in
past has laid to sleep in forgotten graves
each party in turn which has contended
against it. l have an abiding faith it will
yet do the same thing for its present po-
litically strongest and greatest rival.
ITO do this we must cause the strife to
cease within our own family; choose for
our leaders such fearless and patriotic
Democrats in all the States and districts as
l am about to name, inscribe on ouI
banners genuine and time-honored
policies, lay aside all new,fangled doc
trines, ana i'll the language of the good
book, Avoid foolish questions and
contentious, knowing that they dc
gender strifes and are improbable
and vain; continue the struggle
for reduced taxation, for cheaper
clothing and supplies for our people; for
broader and wider and better markets fol
the products of our fields and manufac-
lures; for economy in our public expendi-
lures; for simplicity in our governmental
affairs; for real reforms in legislation; fol
home rule; for an ample circulating
medium for our commerce and trade; fol
sound money and gold and silver coinage
of the constitution, and Democracy will be
again triumphant"
| Mr.. Richardson's speech was warmly
applauded and Mr.. Crisp was unanimously
elected. Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi then
placed in nomination the following:
| Clerk, James Kerr of Pennsylvania; door
keeper, A. B. Hurt of Mississippi; sergeant,
alarms, Herman w. Snow of Illinois
postmaster. John T. Ross of Maryland
chaplain, Edward B. Bagby OF Virginia
They also were unanimously elected
whereupon the caucus adjourned.
After the adjournment of the House or
Monday the Democrats will again caucu:
and select the minor officers, to which they
are entitled as minority representatives.

VIEWS OF MIR. CAMPBELL.
Says Cleveland Has No Idea of Securing q
Third Term.

Says Cleveland Has No Idea of Securing a
Third Term.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 30.-Ex- Governor
Campbell of Ohio, who arrived mere this
morning to attend the st. Andrews So
iety banquet, said for publication:
"Grover Cleveland has not the slightest
idea of accepting a nomination for the
Presidency should it be offered him by the
Democratic party in 1896. Why, Mr.. Cleve-
land would not think of it for moment.
"The spirit of the whole country is against
the third term, and the leaders of the
party, as well as Mr.. Cleveland, are of the
same mind. The prospect of the party in
1896 is good. 1t will pull together and
make hot race. There will be no land
slide.
civilian Mckinley cannot carry the
delegation from his State. The heart of
the people is with him, but the leaders
will be for the man who will place in their
hands the patronage of Ohio.'
The Ex-Governor and Secretary of Agri-
culture, who is here visiting his son, were

Could Not Let Pass the Praise of
Cleveland by Campbell
of Ohio.
OBJECTED TO THE EULoGY.
There Were Unpleasant Scenes and
Interruptions Until the Subject
Was Changed.

CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 30.-Five hundred
sons of Scotland and others from variou s
States and Canada celebrated at banquet
in the Auditorium Hotel, tonight, the an
niversary of st. Andrews day and the
semi-centennial of the founding of the Illi-
nois St. Andrews Society. Among the
distinguished speakers were Governor Alt
geld, Ex-Governor James E. Campbell of
Ohio; Sir James Grant, M. P, of Ottawa,
Ontario; President Harper of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, MajorGeneral Wesley
Merritt and Mayor Swift.
Governor Altgeld's opening remarks
created sensation and brought forth
misses from some of those present. He
spoke in reply to Governor Campbell of
Ohio, who made an address ringing with
praises of President Cleveland who, he said,
did not want third term and who would
at the proper time announce a foreign
policy in good accord with the sentiments
of liberty loving nation of freemen.
When Governor Altgeld arose a few
minutes later, those who knew him and
could read his features saw he was about
to say something of an explosive charac-
ter, and they were not disappointed.
Governor, railways wants a dark back
ground to show off his fine work. That is
what am here for tonight. 1 am the
dark background 10 this great array of
eloquence and learning.
when Cameron invited me to this
jubilee meeting he said Governor, we
must have you,' and l am here. But
will say now that am not here for the
purpose of lauding any man into the Office
of President or out of it. l want to de-
clare to you that 1 have not come here
with commission to aggrandize the
financial policies of Presidential candi-
dates.
~ desire to impress upon your minds
that did not come here with or without
a commission to explain or excure any
mans foreign policy that may happen to
require either explanation or excuse, and
/ am not here to tell in glowing words and
polished phrases of any President who
thinks he is a greater man than was
George Washington"
At the first utterance that gave warning
of what was coming the presiding officials
at the speakers table grew uneasy and
shifted in their seats AS the Governor
warmed to his subject and exhibited the
pique he felt at being forced to listen to
the laudation of President Cleveland,
there were few Kisses from the body of
the house, and d. R. Cameron, one of the
officials of the society, started toward the
Governor as if to protest.
The Kissing grew more pronounced as
the Governor proceeded. Ex-Governor
Campbell turned red and pale alternately
and faced the speaker in defiant attitude.
Every body at the table and the greater
part of the audience were impressed by
the scene, and it was not until Governor
Altgeld ceased his reply direct to Governor
Campbell and turned to the subject mat
ter of his speech that the excitement died
away.
Governor Altgeld then made set speech.

KILLING OF MOTHER SEALS.
II WiU Be Made a Subject of Inquiry b!


II VIII Be Made a Subject of Inquiry By
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 30.-The
recent report from the Treasury Depart
ment relative to the cruel killing of mother
seals, leaving the pups to die of starvation,
will be made subject of inquiry by the
Senate Immediately after the converting of
Congress. Senators of prominence state
that the absence of positive action was due
not to neglect, but to design. This serious
charge will be made from the Democratic
side.
1t is charged by Senators that under the
Treasury regulations as now enforced
sealers who go to the coast of China, Japan
and Russia to catch seals during the pro-
hibited season here are permitted to carry
double barrel shotguns under seal. On
their return to this country they reach the
American seal resorts at time when
hunting is permitted, then breaking the
seals on their arms begin the attacks. 1t
is commended that if the Treasury enforced
the regulations as intended these sealers
would be compelled to return to American
ports and get arms before starting. This
would reduce the destruction to mini
mum.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3O.-Consul
vifquain, stationed at Panama, says that,
including the years 1893 and 1894, before
the Wilson tariff bill went into effect, the
transit tariff across the isthmus from San
Francisco direct to Europe was practically
nothing, but since the law went into effect
the transit business foots up for the last
four months, from July to October inclu-
sive, total of 1874 tons, this transit now
amounting to more than ever before in the
history OF the Panama Railroad.

BUT JENNIE WAS NOT DEAD.
FoofbdH-Players Premature IA Sending
Messages of Coincidence.

WICHITA, KANs., Nov. 3O.-A report
gained circulation here to-day that Jesse
JENNIE, the Eureka football player who was
injured in Thursdays game which came
off there between the Eureka eleven and
the Lewis Academy team of this city, had
died. The local papers announced Jenne's
death in big head lines, and the members
OF tile academy team passed resolutions of
coincidence which, with beautiful floral
tribute, ware sent to the supposedly be-
reaved parents. Tonight their sorrow was
turned to Joy by the receipt of dispatch
from Eureka saying that Jenne was still
alive and that he might possibly recover.
