WAS A RECORD BREAKER
Made by One of the b., A. & P.
Copper Trains.
TO TEST THE BIG ENGINE
Had the Heaviest Copper Train Ever
Pulled by One Engine in the World.
The Run Was Made in Two
Hours and Five Minutes.

A record breaking run was made by
conda to Butte yesterday morning. 1t
was a test run to show the capacity of
one of the three big engines built last
summer for the road by the Science
tady Locomotive works. The train
| consisted of 81 carloads of copper,
which is the biggest copper train ever
| pulled by one engine in the world. The
engine that did the work is No. 80, the
| biggest compound engine IN the world.
The total tonnage of the train was 1928
| tons That does not include the engine
and caboose. The engine and tank
weigh 149 tons and the caboose about
4 IL 900 pounds.
This heavy train was pulled from An
aconda to Arizona street in Butte in
| the phenomenally quick time of 2
| hours and minutes. Nine miles of the
| distance is a per cent. grade and there
| are some very abrupt reverse curves
| in it, The ffaRge resistance on curva-
lures is not figured in on the tonnage
/ haul.
The heavy train and the fast time
are not less remarkable than the COM
paratively small amount of coal con-
sumed in the run. The total coal con-
| sumption from the moment of leaving
Anaconda until the train stopped in
Butte was $500 pounds.

A NOVEL HEN PARTY.
Each Guest Brought AS Contribution II
Real Live Chicken.

Real Live Chicken.
The Boston Traveller tells of new
kind of hen party that has found favor
in that city. 1t bears no resemblance
to the time-honored idea that tea and
chitchat. gossip and smart hats, consu-
tute the necessary adjuncts TO these
particular gatherings. The interest CEN
ters about real live hen of feathers,
her chicks and her eggs.
The party originated in this fashion:
A young bride and groom took mouse
in the suburbs and went to housekeep-
ing. A mischievous friend called to see
them and discovered on the premises
deserted hennery, which suggested an
idea to his fertile brain.
He at once communicated his idea to
other friends, who arranged secretly Tor
a genuine hen party On a pleasant
day the invited guests met at the rail-
way station and proceeded in body TO
the new home Each one carried a live
hen. a chick or a dozen eggs for hatch
ing purposes. -
The scene which occurred when 30
guests arrived with 36 installments for
the hennery was decidedly ludicrous.
When the little hostess recovered breath
she produced her chocolate cups and
tea biscuits and the groom showed him.
self a man of resources by offering a
prize for the most laughable incident
connected with the purchase of the
fowls.
One of the rules of this new game Is
that the hens must not be sent by ex-
press porter or other means Of convey
ance. but must be delivered by the pur-
chaser 1t is suggested that these feath-
cred donations would prove a great sue

THE STRIKE A FAILURE.
They viii Have TO Return To Work Unless
Funds Are Forthcoming.

New Bedford. Mass. March 5.-The
end of the seventh week of the strike
In this city finds the operatives very
much disappointed because affairs are
not going to suit them. The funds of
all the unions, except the Spinners'
have been reduced to almost nothing,
and even the union members have TO
depend upon outside relief TO great
extent.
There is no question that unless there
is some discussion and decision one way
or the other the other unions outside
of the Weavers Will meet and take ac-
ton of some kind. ii has become COM
mon talk that this action will be taken.
The collections from the outside this
week will not amount to any more than
they did during the week before, when
less than $4,000 was raised. This amount
is only drop in the bucket for 5000
to 10000 idle operatives. and under tbs
circumstances only one end can be seer
that the strikers will have 10 return

inviolable if annexation lis to follow.
The conditions presented are entirely un-
like those in Cuba. In the latter case
there was justification in international
law and precedent for our refusal to be
saddled with the debt when we had re-
ceived no tangible asset. But in the
case of the Philippines. rich and well
populated, the United States would ac-
quire what, in the eyes of the world, is
a most valuable possession, and, it is be-
lieved that the holders of all government
obligations, without regard to national
ity, would insist that the lien should
pass with the property. Quite unoffl-
cially, but in manner to carry conyic-
ton as TO accuracy of the information,
the Spanish commissioners some days
ago were allowed to know what the
United States purpose as to the Philip
pines was. once the conclusion was ar
rived at. So they are not taken COM
pletcly by surprise by the demand pre-
sented to-day at Paris, and are likely to
be prepared to proceed rapidly with this
last article of the protocol.
London, Oct. 31.-The Times editori-
ally this morning expresses its frank
satisfaction at the decision of the United
States commissioners to take the Philip
pines.

RUSSELL. IN WILMINGTON
Is HIS MISSION TO SUPPRESS 4
NEGRO TICKET?
SlTUATlOA MAY GROW MORE SERIOUS
Editorial in the Wilmington Record, the Infa.
nous Negro Paper, Suggests that the
Agreement HAY be Broken.

Wilmington, \. c., Oct. 31.-Not-
that has prevailed for the past two days,
the feeling of unrest begins to show -
self again tonight. There is disquiet-
ing rumor that the negroes are seriously
considering the question of running Il
county ticket regardless of the wishec of
Governor Russell and three or four
white lieutenants here, who have not d.
serted him.
The unexpected arrival of Governor
Russell this evening caps the climax of
the changed conditions. The hepe
among conservative people is that Coz
ernor Russell has heard of the move
ment OF the negroes to place a county
ticket in the field, and has come here to
suppress it if possible. There are other
theories. however, in regard to the ob-
ject of his visit
In accordance with an agreement, ;he
Democrats accepted the resignation of
both nominees for the House, and
agreed to support George Rountree. ESQ.
by the meeting of business men.
There is little doubt that if Rc2;lh-
lican ticket is brought out for county
offices, the situation here will become
more serious than ever. The Democrats,
have carried out their part of the az
rangement made with the Governor, by
changing their candidates for the lower
House of the Legislature, and they are
furious over the talk of negro county
ticket.
The following editorial from the no
gro paper, the Record, of this aftcr-
noon is considered when read between
the lines. a positive indication that tae
negroes do not consider the question III
a county ticket finally settled. The
Record is the paper that printed the in
famous editorial rejecting on the
chastity of the white women of the
State. The article that appeared this
afternoon is as follows
Saturday at l. noon was the time ap-
pointed for the holding of the conven-
tion. and nomination OF county Officer.
At 10 O'Clock the delegates went into
caucus, and after much speech making
and resolving, it was decided not To
nominate ticket at this time. conse-
quently there was no need for calling
the convention together 1t was rum0c-
ed around the city that the convention
or some one had decided not to PM mp
Il ticket for county officers at all. but to
cCncede everything to the Democrats.
We tried to ascertain the truth of this
statement, but could not
