From the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal
I The activity has rather diminished,
business circles being more or less dis
turbed by the prolonged discussion in the
senate of the Cuban question, which in
fiuenced the London market, where a
marked decline for the speculative sorts
has set in. which dropped sharply each
day, until on the 11th inst e4i rs. Cd. for
spot was reached. Since that time a re-
action has set in, and with good buying
the market advanced to e44 Us. 6d.@ e44
15s spot, and Is. Cd. higher for three
months prompt During these fluctuations
hardly any business of Importance was
transacted here. AS is usual in a declin-
ing market, buyers are holding off, but
so far There are no signs that producers
will give way, and the quotations are in
the main unaltered, although more or less
nominal. Lake copper is $11bq11A; cleo
trolytic cakes, wire bars or ingots, So 20
@1O.75. with catholics Ac. less. A sharp
competition was experienced for the few
orders for casting copper which were in
the market, and we have to lower the
quotation to s10.30G10.45, according to
quantity and brand. Exports are still
very heavy, and are likely to continue so
for some time to come. There have been
numerous inquiries from abroad for all
descriptions of fine copper, but we can
acted, sellers ideas are rather above
the parity of the European market For
raw material there is continually a large
competition, and high prices are being
paid.
Outside of the speculative brands re-
corded above, there has also been a fall
ing off in actual business with consumers
for the same reasons as those existing
here. that manufacturers desire to buy on
the basis of g. m. b. copper, at which
price there are hardly any sellers for
the refined sorts, but 1t is reported that
consumption is satisfactory, and that a
further decrease in the visible supplies IS
not unlikely. For refined and manufac-
tured we quote: English Tough, e4s IS u

There are no returns as to the impor Ia
ton of Mexican copper into France DIR
ing the month of January last. The fol-
lowing are the amounts, in tons fine, i'm
ported from Mexico into Great Britain
during January of the present and five
preceding years. 1896, 1852 tons; 1875, 81
tons; 1884, III tons; 1898, none; 1s":s. 81
tons: 1891, ZAP tons. 1t will be seen that
there was very large increase this year.

A NINE-FOOT MUSTACHE.
It's Possessor Lives In Idaho and Boasts
hat lie Has No Rival


From the New York Journal.
James II. Brown, issue clerk at the
Fort Hall Indian Agency, Ross Fork,
Bingham county, Idaho, mas the long
est mustache of any man living. 1t
measures nine feet from tip to tip,
four and a half feet each way from the
center of the lip. This mustache is
Mr.. Browns greatest JOY and pride. 1t
is most carefully kept and would at
tract marked attention anywhere. The
Indians look upon this enormously long
mustache with awe and reverence, be-
Heving Mr.. Brown to have been excep-
tionally blessed by God.
Mr.. Brown is by birth a Virginian.
He was born in Loudoun county, IL
miles west of Leesburg, near what is
known now as Round HILL His father
moved from Loudoun county to Bar
bour county, then in Virginia, but now
in West Virginia, in October, 1857.
Mr.. Browns occupation has always
been that of farmer, with the excep-
ton of a period of Is years, which he
devoted to the lumber business and
the time he has been giving to Uncle
Sam. Fourteen months ago Mr.. Brown
was appointed issue clerk at the Fort
Hall Indian Agency, which position he
is still filling.
The fame of Mr.. Browns elongated
mustache is by no means confined to
the wilds of Idaho. 1t is known
throughout the Virginias and the
South generally.

There has been considerable anxiety

appear that he was preparing to get
out of danger as rapidly as possible.

tions for flight were complete. For the
rest he must prepare with equal care in
case he would be compelled to fee. He
went to school as usual, as though
thoughts of anything SO extraordi-
nary as murder were furthest from
his studies; later he made himself
conspicuous at point reasonably
distant from the McGlincv house,
and where his appearance would no doubt
fit to plans laid for the event of his not
being compelled to escape; in other words,
he was arranging an alibi.
He went to the McGlincy home and
murdered three women, one after the
other by such silent methods as not to
cause alarm on the part OF even the third
victim until her time mad come, and she
died also with no outcry having been
made.
Had he succeeded as well with the three
men whose doom was fixed for some two
hours later posses would probably not
now be looking for James G. Dunham. He
would have been here, probably, proclaim
ing himself the most shocked and be-
reayed of men, incapable of such a crime.
And in support of that claim he would
have pointed to his correct and temperate
and studious life up to the very moment
of the deed.
But in the dark hallway where he met
them, and after he had struck down old
man McGllncy with his ak, Jimmy w ellis,
the young tiger-like athlete, sprung upon
him and threw him to the floor and placed
his hands on his throat, and would have
strangled him in his turn. He was COM
PEELED to resort to his revolver.
Though he hoped he would not have to
use them he had foreseen ana prepared
for this emergency also. The bullet-marks
in the ceiling and slanting upward in the
walls give evidence of how the murderer
was on his way back when he began to
use his noisy weapon, and. of how, also,
Jimmy Wells foiled him for time even in
that.

Municipal Assemblymen Object
to Appropriating Money for
Tornado Sufferers.
TRY FILIBUsTERING TACTICS.
At One Time During the Session a
Free Fight Seemed to Be
Imminent.
TRY FILIBUsTERING TACTICS.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 3.-As indicated
in these dispatches last night, the work of
raising and distributing relief funds for
the tornado sufferers is foundering in the
municipal politics. Honest differences of
opinion upon the advisability and legality
of appropriating funds for relief have
grown into bitter political warfare.
Mayor Walbridge, possible candidate
for Governor, has resolutely refused to
appeal to the outside world for aid. Last
night he was hanged in effigy in South st.
Louis, and large public meeting held
there demanded that he withdraw from
his position of independence. 1t is un-
questionably true that the friends or op-
ponents of the Mayors political hopes are
found opposing each other in the matter
of soliciting relief.
The measure to appropriate 100000 OF
city funds for relief also met strong op-
position on the plea that it was illegal.
The bill was resubmitted to-day with a
proViso making it legal.
The House of Delegates, the lower
branch of the Municipal Assembly, met in
special session this afternoon to consider
the amended appropriation bill. The pro-
ceedings at times approached rough-and-
tumble fight among the members.
The House was in special session for the
purpose of passing an amended relief bill
of 100000 for the sufferers from last
Wednesdays tornado. The city charter
requires a two-thirds vote on all relief
bill and the vote by which the bill passed
yesterday was one short of the required
number.
When the session was called to order it
lacked several membe4s of quorum and
the sergeant-at-arms was ordered to secure
the attendance of delinquent Delegates.
Before this was accomplished a number OF
political discontents adopted filibustering g
tactics and demanded that the members
present vote on the bill. By this means ii
was thought to defeat the bill. The mo-
ton to vote was carried and count showed
that the bill had been adopted.
Speaker Kelly refused to announce the
vote until seven tlibusterng members
could be found and made to vote.
Delegates Judy, Wilson, Wilcox and
Lloyd had voted against the bill. They
became violent and threatened to leave
unless the vote was announced.
Speaker Kelly appointed Delegate Scherf
special sergeant-at-arms.
Delegate Lloyd tried to crowd over the
railing and escape and Scherf threw him
back into the inclosure.
A fight was narrowly averted and both
Lloyd and Wilcox denounced Kelly, who
ordered them to sit down and continued
to refuse to announce the vote. Delegate
Wilcox tried 10 leave and he was thrown
back into his chair.
The opposition memb bers clustered into
one corner and free-for-all fight was i'm
minent. The sergeant-at-arms finally cor
raled the missing members and the bill
was passed by vote of 10 to 8. The bill
now goes to the upper house and will be

surprise and unprepared. The armed man
triun ed-a bullet after a while found
the others heart. Then Dunham was
compelled to 90 out and seek McGlincy
whittier he had fed, and the secret was
out. His voice was heard and one man
got away.
Dunham knew then that he must flee.
He went back to the house and took with
him his pictures and papers-everything
that would aid in his identification, the
police being upon his trail. He had
thought the situation out to its furthest
possibility.
He took horse, careless of there being
no saddle-he was not going to ride far
ana went toward the gulch of Mount
Indian Gulch, and the Sheriff s posse has
been skirmishing around that inaccessible
ravine for davs.
Certainly they have given such shrewd
and thoughtful and painstaking man am
pie time to avail himself of the convent
ence which everything indicates, and
which it is only reasonable to suppose he
provided for himself for his escape. If he
reached the other side of the mountain
and there found bicycle he would find
fine coasting into the San Joaquin.
With bicycle suit and clean shave
or weeks growth of beard, Just as YOU
please, he might ride to Texas no more
subject to suspicion than any other of the
thousands of hump-backed young gentle
men on their summer outing.
1t is to be hoped that this is not the
correct theory; that the bearer of the
celebrated pointed-toe shoe is really Muir
derer Dunham; that he is tramping round
in the wilderness and that some one well
armed will track the tracks up to and get
the drop on him. But all that is here re-
lated indicates very shrewd as well as
daring man, and it would certainly be the
part of wisdom to look for him in more
than one place at time.
