ROTHSCHILDS NOT AFTER COPPER.
DENIAL OF THE RUMOR THAT THEY WANT THE
FAMOUS ANACONDA MINES.

DENIAL OF THE RUMOR THAT THEY WANT THE
FAMOUS ANACONDA MINES.
Several newspapers have announced that the
Rothschds the well-known fnancers OF London
either negotiating or had concluded negoa
tons for the purchase of the famous Anaconda
copper mines of Montana. James b. Haggin. one
of the owners of the Anaconda mines. when
at his Offices. No Is Broad-st., yesterday by a
Tribune reporter, denied the published statements
with considerable emphasis. He said:
II have not yet seen the report but you may say
that there is not atom Of truth in any state
ment to the effect that the Rothschids ne
gotiating for the purchase of the Anaconda mines
There has been no approach of any kind toward
such negotiations"
Have you any idea as to what could give rise
to the reportsT Mr.. Haggin asked
WELL probably some inference has been drawn
from the visit of Hamilton Smith 10 this country.
Mr. Smith is connected with the Rothschilds In
business and as he is great personal friend Of
mine he has visited me during my stay in New
York. and perhaps some Unfounded deduction has
been made out of that fact. | can think of moth
ing else to account for the rumor."
Walter Lutjen. partner in the firm Of August
Belmont & Co.. Rothschilds's agents in America
was also seen at his offices, No. % Nassau-st. He
similarly denied the story. He added: II have
not heard OF any such negotiations and had any
transactions OF the kind taken place l should GER
tanly have had some knowledge of them

THE REMORA.

natural history announces the addition to the al
readv well-hlled aquarium there OF specimen Of
teeostean fish, labelled "Eschencis remora This
long-named little sucker found sticking TO
the hull of one Of the steam launches. as stated in
the said bulletin, and was Immediately seized upon
by Mr. Starin's fish experts as star feature for
the aquarium The technical description Of the ex-
perts, edited by the press agent. is as follows:
The remora Is about foot and a half long
The anterior dorsa fin is covered with a large
sucking disk. having two rows OF lamellae. stu
ated on the top Of the head. This resembles very
much in form the green blinds seen In the country
and on Philadelphia houses. The remora, by means
Of its peculiar sucking disk, attaches itself to the
bottom OF boat and frequently to a larger fish or
shark and will travel thousands of miles before
letting go. The South American Indians make use
OF this instinct of the fish to catch sea turtles
They fasten a ring around the remoras tall
to which they attach long rope. They then
take the fish to sea, and when a huge turtle Is
sighted throw the fish 1t swms at once to
the turtle and attaches itself to the bottom of the
she'll The rope is then drawn in. and soon both
remora and turtle the boat: Antonys ship
said TO have been held motonless by a NUMBER
OF remoras which impeded its progress in spite OF
the efforts hundreds OF sailors IL forward
during the famous battle of Actium. Professor L.

IL does not often find It's way out or tropical

Mothers can now combine instruction and amuse
nent at Glen Island by recounting this little story
of the remorseless remora holding Marc Antony's
naval outfit by the coattas, they point out this
Long Island specimen OF the original sucker to
their children. That Marc Antony story caps the
climax The Glen Island press agent deserves
big medal.
