DEBS GOING TO LEADNLLE.
Says If Organized Labor Is Broken Up
in Colorado the Miners viii Simply
BE co1YIcts

DENVER. CoLo.. Jan. 1L-Eugene v.
Debs passed through the city to-day
en- route to LeadvilIe to investigate the
miners strike which has been in progress
there for the past five months.
81 desire" be said. ito look over the
military com pany which has been main
tanned against the miners to see how much
force has been considered necessary to
keep the miners in order. In the East
we have heard that over 1000 men were
kept there. but am informed here that
there never has been over 957 soldiers in
camp. My conviction is that the miners
stand is wholly one to maintain wages.
No laboring man upholds violent mea-
sures and do not believe that the Lead
vile miners, the body of them, were in
terested in the attack.
s'In so far as the miners seek peaceful,
lawful way to maintain wages they ought
to be supported by every class OF organized
labor. Every wage worker is vitally in
terested in the result. 1t is my impression
that the men will win, for the mine owners
cannot operate with the lien they have
taken in. do not know that this is q
move to break up labor organizations. but
l am satisfied if they can break up the
organization here it will be the initial
step. Break up organized labor in
Colorado and the miners will soon be in
the condition of the Pennsylvania coal
miners. They will simply be convIcts.

AEGL0-AMERIcAG ARBITRATION.
Treaty Signed at Washington and Trans
mfted to the Senate With a Message
From the President

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
arbitration treaty between Great Britain
and the United States was signed in the
State Department this afternoon, and the
President sent the following message to
the Senate in transmitting the document:
To the Senate: transmit herewith treaty
for the arbitration OF all matters of difference
between the United States and Great Britain.
The provisions OF the treaty are the result of
iong and patient elaboration and represent
concessions made by each party for the sake of
agreement upon the general scheme. Though
the result reached may not meet the views of
the advocates of immediate, unlimited and
irrevooapIe arbitration of all international
controversies, it Is nevertheless confidently
believed that the treaty cannot fail to be
everywhere recognized as making long step
IN the right direction and as embodying q
practical working plan by which disputes
between the two countries viii reach peace
full adjustment as q matter OF course and in
ordinary routine
In the initiation of such an important move
ment it must be expected that some of its
features will assume q tentative character
is apparent that the treaty which has been
formulated not only makes war between the
parties to it remote possibility, but pre-
eIudes those fears and rumors OF war which
of themselves too often assume the proper
tions OF a National disturbance.
1t is eminently fitting, as well as fortunate,
that the attempt TO achieve results so benef-
cent should b. initiated by kindred peoples
speaking the same tongue and Joined by all
the ties Of common traditions, common insti-
tutions nd common spirations. The expert
menfs OF substituting civilized methods for
brute force as the means OF settling interna-
tfonal questions of right will thus be tried
under the happiest auspices. It's success ought

Did Not Engage in n Deaf That Caused
the Diamond Match Failure.
OMAHA, NEBR Jan. 11.-John W.
Doane, one of the receivers OF the Union
Pacific, was last week reelected president
of The Merchants Loan and Trust Com
pany of Chicago, which position he de-
clined to sccept. At that time it
was reported that while the president
of that corporation he had been a
heavy borrower from the funds of the
company and that he was also involved in
the deal which caused the sensational
failure of the Diamond Match Company
astsummer. To-day Mr.. Doane said that
there was not the slightest truth in the
latter report, nor so far as he was aware
the slightest foundation for such story.
He said that he had been reelected presi-
dent of the company ana for personal rea-
sons declined the position. He had teIe-
graphed his refusal from Omaha while he
was here last week. He emphatically de-
MED th,s he had been a borrower from the
company's funds or that he had been in
any way connected with the failure of the
Diamond Match Company. He added
that correction of the erroneous reports
had been made in Chicago.

Remarkable Bill to Be Introduced in

special to a morning paper says: Chief
Justice Franz Doster, who will be in
Quoted into Office today, will endeavor to
enact his famous campaign theory into
law. He declared upon the stump that
1.-The rights OF the voter are paramount to
the rights of the owner"
Judge Doster's Law partner, Henry
Lean, has drafted remarkable bill, which
will be introduced early in the session. 1t
" i'll provide that no one shall own more
land than homestead II any person de-
sires 20 purchase any additional tracts of
land. For example, Farmer Jones owns
and lives on farm ana is also owner of a
farm which he rents. Farmer Smith, who
has no homestead, can go to Jones AMI
make him tender OF a reasonable sum of
money for the ad,Iitional tract of land
Ii Jones declines Smiths tender Smith
can go into the courts and the jury will fix
the price, which If below the sum ten
dered, then Jones must pay tile costs. Ii
more then Smith pays the costs of the
suit. This bill, if 1T becomes a law, will
absolutely prevent the ownership OF 4
large tract of land by one individual.

BIG MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Hsoriy All of the Two Hundred Delegates
Are at Indianapolis and Ready
for Bus ness

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 1.-THE
hotel corridors tonight present much the
same appearance as on the eve of a
National political convention. Delegates
with badges of the monetary conference
pinned to their coats push in and out of
the crowds that throng the lobhies. Men
gather in groups, earnestly discussing the
problems that they have come here TO
help solve.
Instead of professional politicians, how
ever, those present are heads of CONNER
ciaI houses and mostly merchants and i'm
porters, railroad presidents and bankers
meu of importance and high standing in
the community which they represent.
Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com
merce in 200 cities have appointed dele
gates. Nearly half of the 400 delegates
VINO are expected have arrived. The
gathering is non-partisan. There Is no
cut-and-dried programme and no man
can tell what will be the outcome of the
deliberations which will be begun to-mor-
row and continue two or three days.
The conference will follow the lines OF a
regular convention. 1t Will be called to
order at ? P. NJ. The Hon. E. o. Stanard,
Ex-Governor of Missouri, Will be tenn
porary chairman, and G. Stuart Patterson,
dean of the University of PennsylvaEia,
will be permanent presiding officer.
At meeting Of the executive commit
tee to-day it was decided to recommend
the appointment OF committees on creden-
tials. permanent organization and resoIu-
tIous. To the latter com mmittee all papers
and propositions will be referred, and
only limited time will be permitted to a
delegate to state the substance of his prop
osition. This will save the conference
from listening to number of lengthy es-
says on currency revision, and prev rent
interminable debate.
During the deliberations of the commit
tees there will be addresses by such rep
resentative men as Charles s. Fairchild,
e1-Secretary of the Treasury; Congress
man Walker of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency and others
The consensus OF opinion among the
delegates who are here is that it will be
impossible to digest the whole subject of
c1rrency reform during the time of the
present convention and that the wisest
plan will be to make declaration of gen.
eral principles and appoint a non-partisan
representative committee TO formulate
legislative plan or to act in conjunction
with committee of Congress in drawing
up the legislation.

not to doubtful, and the fact that its ultima te
ensuing benefits are not likely TO be limited to
the two countries Immediately concerned
should cause it 10 be promoted all the more
eagerly. The example set and the lesson fur
nished by the successful operation of this
treaty are sure TO be felt and taken to heart
sooner or later by other nations. and Will thus
mark the beginning of new epoch in civiliza-
ton.
Profoundly impressed, as am, therefore, by
the promise of good which this treaty affords,
DO not hesitate to accom- pany its transml Is
sion with an expression of my earnest hope
that It may commend itself TO the favorable
consideration of the Senate.
Executive Mansion. January II, 1897.
The proposed treaty consists of thirteen
articles and covers twenty pages OF the
special paper on which all conventions
are spread for original signature. Each
copy is clearly written in legibIe manu-
script without fourishes, the only orna-
mentation consisting of the red, white
and blue twisted cord with which all
State Department documents are held
together.
1t was shortly after u o'clock to-day
when the British Embassador reached
the State Department with Viscount
Cough, one of his secretaries. He had
earlier IN the morning received o final
cablegram from Lord Salisbury authoriz-
ing the signature, and had made an ap-
pointment with Secretary Olney for con-
summating the negotiations. The Secretary
promptly met Sir Julian in the diplo-
matte room on his arrival. and the two
plenipotentiaries immed ately presented
their credentials to each other. Secretary
Olney signed as designated by the Presi-
dent of the United States, and Julian
Pauncefote signed as designated by the
Queen on behalf of Great Britain.
The formalities having been completed,
the Secretary and Sir Julian shook hands,
congratuIatlng each other, and the British
representative returned to the EN- bassy,
taking his copy of the document with
him. The copy" was Immediately sent
over to the Executive Mansion and de-
livered to the President, who a moment
later sent it to the Senate with message
for its ratification.
