Missoula and Dillon Looking A fter Their
Educational Institutions.
The state board of education met
Monday afternoon in the governors Of
tice. There were present Gov. Richards,
Attorney General Haskell, Superintend-
ent Steero and Prof. r. G. Young, of
Helena; DR.. James Reid and Nelson
Story, Of Bozeman; Prof. J. NJ. Hamil-
ton, of Miseoula, and j. f. Moore, of
Dillon. }. f. Forbis, of Butte, and r. f.
Collins, Of Great Falls, were the only
members absent.
The board received an oral report
from Prof. Hamilton, in relation to the
efforts of the people OF Missoula to es-
tablish the state university. He said
that the city was holding special cleo
ton that afternoon to determine whether
or not a tax should be levied by means
OF which it was proposed to raise money
to complete the south school building
for the purpose of offering it to the state
board for state university use. This
building was commenced about four
years ago, but as it was not really needed
1t was never completed. 1t is three
stories high, but its interior is not fin
ished. 1t is proposed to complete the
building on such plans as the state
board may suggest, and offer it to the
state as home for the university until
such time as the state provides build
ing of it's own for the institution. Prot
Young received dispatch last night
stating that the $1,000 tax had been car
ried by vote of 81 to against. This,
it is believed, settles the question of the
establishment of the state university.
J. e. Morse, of Dillon, said the people
of his town had secured suitable quart
ers for the state normal school, and that
they were ready to expend $4,000 in fur.

COPPER AND LEAD.

Copper Continue. t" Advance in Price
and Lead Is Also Higher.
The following reports of the condition
of the copper and lead market are from
the Engineering and Mining journal:
A great deal of business has been done
during the week; in fact, much more
than appears on the surface. The de-
mand for wire bars and cakes continues
good, and as Calumet is the only lake
company which can supply these shapes
for the present and they are holding for
10c. without exception, buyers had to
pay this price or fall back on electrolytic
copper, for which rather high prices
have been paid Considerable quantities
of Lake ingot copper also changed hands
from 07s m992la, J, and now 9.95 is asked.
For electroytic copper we have now to
raise the price to S9.75m9.S5. For cast
ing copper the demand remains some
what slack, but there are 10 sellers
below 912. The exports so far this
month have again been very heavy
indeed, but at present prices for copper
here are rather above the parity Of
Europe, new sales are not made for
export to Europe.
In marked contrast with the above is the
London market. which has been rather
fiat, and on the 10th inst. G.. M. BIS. de-
clined to e4O rs Cd, but the market is a
little steadier today, being quoted $40
lOsM40 l2s Cd for spot and 7s Cd more

and manufactured we quote: English
tough, E42 15sM E43; best selected, SAB
1850 E44; strong sheets, $50 10s@51;
India sheets, G47M e4s; yellow metal,
4 Bios
There IS evidently pressure to sell
the inferior grades of copper, but we un-
derstand there lie also quite good de.
mand for the finer grades, so that the po.
sition is about the same as here.
We are informed that the contract for
refining their copper, which existed for
two years and half between the Balti.
more Elecric Refining company and the
Davis Bros. of Baltimore, expired by
limitation on January l, 1886
| Lead shows marked improvement

and the cold weather have effected pro
duction and refiners were retired from
the market. There being several large

EIGHT THOUSAND
The Street Car Lines Of Brooklyn
Are Tied Up by General
Strike.
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLES
Corporations Violate the Law and
Refuse to Do Justice to the
Men.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 4.-All the electric
street railways with the exception of tht
Smith and Jay street lines we're tied uE
by strike which began at S o'clock this
morning. Between 1000 and 5000 mer
are out. The entire police force of 1,7O(
men are in readiness in case there shall
be any = trouble. The mems griev-
ances and demands are thus stated
The state law provides that days work
of street railways employees shall be ten
hours within twelve consecutive hours
1t is alleged that tho corporations re.
quired the men to work eleven hours
and even twelve hours with no interval
longer than ten minutes for lunch and
even depriving them of that brief time
in most Instances. The wage rate agreed
upon year ago was 81 for statutory
days work The companies, it is al
legged, have made no allowance for over
time. The men demand adherence to
the law or $3.50 for days of twelve hours.
An address issued by the executive com
mittee of District assembly No. 45 al
leges that the trouble was precipitated
by the Brooklyn Heights company in ex-
Guiding electric workers from work. The
statement says fagrant violation of the
ten-hour law has mentally and physic-
ally incapacitated the men for their
work. All the companies run trippers
80 that the men can make only from 40
to 50 cents per day. While the corpora
tions are not allowed by law to run at a
rate of speed over ten miles an hour, the
through schedules we're arranged so that
the cars have to be run at speed of
from fifteen to twenty miles an hour. In
consequence nearly 100 fatal accidents
have occurred since the trolly system
was introduced and countless injuries to
passengers, all caused by tho greed of
the corporations. Employees in the
power house are organized as knights of
Labor the same as the motor men and
conductors, and when the signal is given
to stop work they will fall into line and
not car can move. 1t is probable the
Smith and Jay street roads will stop
running at noon unless President So-
cum comedies the demands of the men.
The executive board Of the Knights of
Labor are now with him. An attempt
to overthrow car on the Court street
line by some sympathizers OF the strik-
ers was made this morning. The police
made several arrests. There have been
but few cars run up to II o'clock. There
is an occasional car on the Court street
line of the Brooklyn City company. The
Montague street line and the elevated
systems are running as usual.

FAITH AND SCIENCE.
Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Views on the
Question.

~'->'
Question.
BALTIMORE, Jan. lG-Cardinal Glib.
bons will have the first article in the first
number of the Catholic University Bull
letin, quarterly, conducted by the
professors in the interest of the univer-
sity. Cardinal Gibbons subject is THE
Church and the Sciences II is in part
as follows:
"As Catholics. we know Of certainty
that no real conflict can arise between
the truths of religion and those which
science has solidly demonstrated. But
this conviction must be brought home to
those who are outside the church. and
who judge her rather by what her mem
bers do than by what they write or say
in favor Of science.
IN order that the honor of the church
may be completely vindicated it is nee
essary above all to do away with the
mistaken idea that Catholics are not free
to pursue scientific research The
church does not ask SCIENCE to furnish
proof Of her tenets, nor does she pretend
to fix the principles and methods which
science shall follow But in return she
claims the right to use her authority
concerning things which properly per-
tain to her mission as teacher.
"The church. far from neglecting sci
entitic advance, sets higher value upon
it than do those who are swept to and
fro by every new current of opinion. She
makes more allowance for real progress
than those who are now it's loudest cham
pions."
The article closes with a compliment
AIRY reference to the pope.

The buildings destroyed are the Butte
Hardware company's warehouse, the old
abandoned Schlitz Brewery building,
the Kenyon Cornell company's ware
house, the old electric light plant, the
old Miller a. Chapman warehouse, now
occupied as -four and feed warehouse,
and the warehouse of the Parchen-
D'Acheul Drug company. They were |
burned TO the ground and the financial
loss is tremendous, but at this time can
not be estimated.
1t is not yet known just where the fire
started as reports differ, but it is prob
able this will be made plain at the in
quest.
A person who witnessed the entire fire
says the first explosion was from the
Kenyon Connell Mercantile companys
building, the second was car of powder,
and the third was from the Butte Hard
ware company's warehouse. Maj. Daw-
son says no powder was on the tracks
and has not been for long time.
The scene of the fire was today visited
by thousands of men, women, and
children, and it was one of desolation.
Even upto this time there is a
search being made for bodies that may
have been thrown some distance by the
explosion. The relief committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Dugan is composed Of

speaking of relief, the Anaconda Stand
ard of yesterday in it's Butte's corres-
pondence says: measures for relief
have already been inaugurated. No re-
lief can relieve the souls of anguish and
sobs of despair, which are heard in scores
of homes in Butte tonight. But many
are in distress. The suffering will be
great. The people OF Butte who escaped
the sad disaster without loss of friends
must respond nobly and will do so.
