Denver, June "A special to the Re
publican from Butte, Mont, says:
Hamilton Smith, representing the
English syndicate and the ROthschilds
in the NEGOTIATIONS for another Dur-
chase of a large block of stock in the
Anaconda company, has been in Butte
for several days, and it is stated today
that the deal has practically been made
whereby the foreigners viii acquire a
controlling interest in the property ana
that the details of the transaction VIII
be made public in a few days.
This syndicate some time ago secured
a quarter interest in the property on
basis of $50, 0OO, geo, but the present pur-
chase is on a basis of $45, 600 coo for the
whole property. The raise in price is
due to a recent big strike made in the
cOmpany's mine which is said to be
richer than anything heretofore known
in the comDanN.s mines.

THE NEXT SENATE.
The Indications Are That There Will
Be No Very Well Marked Party
Lines Drawn, and That on Silver
and Tariff There May Be General
Mix-Up.

WASHINGTON. November 6.-The next
Senate it is believed. will stand Repub-
Icans A. Democrats 80. Populsts and In
dependents l3. This table takes all States
out Of the doubtful column, placing Ken
lucky and North Carolina i'm the Republi-
can column. as Senator Butler said to-
day that "a free silver Republican would
probably be returned by the fusionists;
Delaware i'm the Democratic column and
Kansas and South Dakota in the lnde-
pendent and Populist column. This will
prevent the Republicans from taking con-
troll of the Senate unless some of those
who bolted the Republican platform at
St. Louis should return. 1t is difficult to
estimate the exact standing of the next
Senate on the money question owing to
the new alignment of parties in the re-
cent campaign. Men who have been
pronounced silver men have been sup
porting the Republican platform and can
didates. Perkins of California. Walcott
of Colorado. Shoup of Idaho, Carter Of
Montana Mitchell of oregon, Wilson of
Washington. and Clark and Warren Of
Wyoming. have all voted for and sup
ported silver legislation. and what course
they will now take in the Senate is alto
gether problematical. Among the Demb-
Gratis. German Of Maryland. Smith of New
Jersey. Murphy of New York. Faulkner
OF West Virginia. and Mitchell of Wis
consin. have all voted against silver and
yet supported the Democratic party i'm
this campaign.
As no free coinage bill possibly could
pass the House this fact would influence
voting i'm the Senate on the silver ques-
tion. especially I'm the shape of rider TO
a tariff bill. The probability is that on
free coinage amendment to a tariff bill all
Of the a Republicans would vote against
il and possibly some Democrats, such as
Camrcy Of Louisiana Gray of Delaware,
and Lindsay of Kentucky. who bolted the
Chicago platform. and perhaps even some
of those who supported Bryan during the
campaign. 1t also Is not unlikely that
some of the Republican Senators who
bolted the Republican platform might take
a position which would permit a tariff
bin in which their constituents are large
~ interested because of wool lumber and
lead ores. to become law. Senator
Faulkner. Dem. Of West Virginia. said
to-day that the silver men by standinE
solidly with the Democrats could prevent
tariff legislation. Senator Butler. on the
other hand. said that he and others Of the
Populists would support the right kind
of "A tariff bill but not measure like the
Mckinley bill Mr.. Butler wants ade-
ouate protection on raw materials.
