LABOR STRIKE AT BUTTE.
Building Trades and Marcus DAILY Cannot

Building Trades and Marcus DAILY Cannot
Agree.
Butte, Mont, Oct. "A great labor
strike in Butte is imminent. The Ana
conda company is building two great
structures in Butte-the Hale House
and the Hennessy department store
There have been half a dozen strikes
on both buildings since the erection
began, and demands made for shorter
hours, less work and more pay. Each
demand was granted. Another strike
has just been declared, because union
plasterers from st. Paul are permitted
to work on the building, the local
Plasters' union having declared against
any more laborers coming to Butte.
The Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany, through its manager, Marcus
DAILY, has sent an ultimatum to sew
eral of the unions, which it is feared
will precipitate general strike. The
uitimatum is directed only to the
Plasterers and Hod Carriers unions, but
it is meant to be a notice to all labor
organizations. Daily declares if the
strike is not declared off today the
Anaconda company will never again
employ any of the men.

DEMAND UPON SPAIN.
Peace Negotiations Have Reached an Ina.
portant Phase.

portant Phase.
Paris, Oct, 4.-The session of the
peace commissioners lasted until
o'clock, at which hour the commission
ers adjourned, to meet at o'clock next
Friday afternoon, such interval being
desirable and necessary to allow separ-
ate consideration by each commission
of matters before the joint commission.
The interval will be thus filled with
work by each commission, the ultimate
results being so facilitated. The sec
retary of the Spanish commission will
arrive tonight and the interval will
also be employed by the secretaries
jointly in maturing plans for the work
of procedure.
The opinion is now held that the
work of the commissions may be fin
ished within month from the present
time.
While it is the general impression
that the meeting was again devoted to
preliminary work and that the ad.
journment to Friday was taken only to
enable the secretaries to draw up
schedule of work, the report is current
that the session was highly important
and that the Americans have made
demand of such character that the
Spanish find it necessary to ask for an
adjournment in order to enable them
to consult with the government at
Madrid.
1t is believed that the question con-
Germs the Philippines, and it is known
that the Americans are highly pleased
at having so soon reached what they
consider a very important phase of tho
negotiations, and consider the two ses-
sions thus far held as very satisfac-
tory to America. The fact that mem
Der of the commission expressed the
belief that work would be completed
within month indicates a happy
frame of mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built on what they believe General
Merritt will advise, namely, that the
Filippinos are incapable of self-govern
ment, and that the whole situation
does not warrant America in taking
the responsibility for the entire Philip
pines The Spanish commissioners art
quite ready to give whatever Amerief
asks in the way of coaling stations
but will resist more, to the verge of /;
renewal of hostilities.

sioK SOLDIERS ENDANGERED
Transports overcrowed and Not Suitably
Provisioned.


Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 3.-Surgeon
Major Seaman of the transport OLDHAM
declares that there will be a repetition
of the awful horrors that have char
acterized the voyage home of the other
transports If more sick soldiers are
sent on board the vessel for transpor-
tation to New York. He says that
when the OLDHAM left Puerto Rico many
on board were sick, yet the first quar-
termaster refused to furnish wine for
their use, but supplied them with hard
tack and canned food, saying that he
had no authoritity to do that Sur
geon Seaman said he would hold him
responsible should any deaths occur,
and finally succeeded in obtaining suit
able food for those who were i'll. He
asserts that the ship has every man
that she can carry, and that If she
reaches New York without any deaths
occurring she will be lucky.
Hearing that number of other sick
soldiers were to be sent aboard her, the
surgeon major made protest, and
stated that he was informed by Gen
eral Lawton that his protest showed
lack of discipline, and that an officer
had been appointed to see how many
additional men the OLDHAM could carry
Surgeon Seaman says he will cable to
Surgeon General Sternburg a protest,
disclaiming responsibility for what
ever may happen.

Omaha, Oct. 3.-In some respects the
most striking feature of Peace Jubilee
week at the Exposition at Omaha
win be the friendly meeting of the
Blue and the Gray on North and
South Handshaking Day." October 11th
and on Army and Navy Day." and
Veteran Soldiers Day." October 13th.
Great efforts have been made to secure
a large attendance of federal and con-
federate veterans for this occasion,
and there is no doubt that the gather
ing will be one of the most memorable
of its kind in the history of the coun-
try. The Grand Army of the Republic
through its commander-in-chief the
Womans Relief 5Corps, through its
national president, and the Daughters
of the Confederaey through their ma
tional president, has been invited to be
present and the invitations have been
given very wide publicity. A number
of prominent speakers have accepted
invitations to deliver addresses at
campfires to be held morning and even
ing of the two days named. 1t will be
fitting accompaniment to the celebra-
ton over the close of the war of 1895
! that the men who bore the brunt oi
the fight in the early sixties shall
stand upon the same platform and ad
dress the participants in that grea
/ struggle.
