NE FELL DOWN A CHUTE
Fatal Accident to Pat Coughliu
in the Anaconda.
FIRST IN THREE MONTHS
He Supposed the Chute Was Full and
Wa Standing on tho Crust
When It Gave Away
Beneath Him.

The first fatal mining accident which
has happened in Butte In more than
three months occurred yesterday after
noon at the Anaconda mine. Never
before e has Butte had such a long
immunity from mining accidents. for
1t Is very seldom in Butte that a month,
or even a week. goes by without a min
ing accident. This year the mines have
been more fortunate than ever,
although more men are employed thar
ever before. Not since early in jan
accident in Silver Bow county until
yesterday.
The unfortunate miner who broke the
spell or good luck was Pat Coughlin.
He was working on the eighth noor OF
the l.200 foot level of the Anaconda
mine at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. One the same floor with him
were +. J. Morgan. Dan Harrington,
Johnnie Govern and Thomas Devine.
Coughlin lost his life by falling down
a chute. II seems that the chute had
been flied up to the eighth floor. but
the ore had been partially emptied out
during the day. leaving only a crust at
the top OF the chute on the eighth floor.
Coughlin stepped on this crust. suppos-
ing the chute was full, although IL was
a very dangerous thing to do. and he
was told 1t was not safe. Coughlin was
getting ready to put In a set of timbers,
and he kept working until suddenly
the crust or rock at the top OF the
chute gave way. and Coughlin fell
down i'm IL.
Immediate steps were taken to extri-
cate C~oughlin. but this was attended
with much difficulty. The miners
broke into the chute at the sixth and
fifth floors without finding him, but
finally reached him at the fourth floor.
He was dead when taken out. but there
were not any marks.
Coughlin was 35 years of age. and
single. His brother. Tom Coughlin,
lives in Dublin Gulch. A telegram was
sent to his sister. Mrs. william Carney,
lives at Ishpeming. Mich. The in
quest will be held at s o'clock this
evening.

ton for 100000 Residents Of the
Indian Territory.

Muscogee, L T, Oct S1--There are
now about 500, 600 white non-citizens
in the Indian territory. OF these
about so, 900 live IN the towns and ESQ.,
900 are farmers and stOckmen. These
people are not intruders- The laws Of
the United States allow them TO live
here, the laws Of the five tribes invite
them to come and they pay tribute to
the tribal funds by purchasing per
mits. These so, 900 white people
have no vote, no representation in
any scheme OF government, no
churches, no schools for their chill
dren, in fact none Of the privileges
commonly supposed to accompany a
residence in the United States. IN
der the Curtis bill the towns are al
lowed to organize and can tax the resi-
dents for a school fund. This is a de-
cided gain for the so, 600 people who
live in the towns, but there is still no
provision for schools for the children
Of rural communities This can only
result in bad citizenship in the rising
generation and is distinctly a bad
policy for any government depending
upon the trained intelligence Of the
future voters Of the country for so
idity.

Santiago, Nov. 1.-Senor Bartolome
masO, president Of the Cuban prOvi-

sued an address TO the delegates now
in attendance at the military assent bly,
at Santa Cruz del Sur, IN which he re-
views the considerations upon which
the Cubans solicited the help Of the
United States and indicates their
wisest future policy. The address in
part is as follows:
The Cubans accepted the assistance Of Amer
lea although not knowing exactly what were
the American aims. Just as they would have
accepted help from any country in their fight
against Spain As the contest progressed the
solemn declaration BY the United States con
greSs regarding the intentions Of the American
government and the path IL would follow IN the
Spanish-Americau war
The Americans came 20 our help 20 compel
Spain TO relinquish her sovereignty over Cuba,
in order that the Cubans themselves might be
placed as promptly as possible, in possession
Of the island, might assume the administration
Of It's Affairs and have n government Of their
own Therefore, the CubGus aZrsed 20 CO
operate with the Americans. 70 obey the or
ders issued By American generals, and
70 help In al possible ways 20 establish
Cuban government when the Americans
took possession. Though America did not
we'll understood that the Cubans would not. on
that account abandon their organization but
that on the contrary. the time would come
when such recognition would be granted IN
deed, IL was asserted 70 our Cuban representa-
tives By one Of The most distinguished mem
bers Of the United States government, and

ate, that, in order 20 DO away with any Obsta-
Gle that might hinder the United States in 90

must come later
Nevertheless, Il has not been possible to es-
tablish direct relations between the Cuban and
American governments for the transaction Of
the public business. although the general char
acter OF our relations throughout the war was
friendly But We have now reached . time
when even more than in the days OF fighting
It is incumbent upon all Cublns 70 show true

OF gratitude to America for having given Cuba
freedom and independence. TO make prompt
