THE WIRE TRUST.

Country.
Cleveland. Ohio, Feb. THE Leader
says the American Steel e. Wire COM
pany in other words, the consolidation
OF the American wire industry, seems
to be an accomplished fact. One Of the
strongest indications in support of the
conclusion is the sudden and marked
stiffening in prices of wire and nails.
The price was put up Monday over a
dollar ton beyond what it was previ-
Gus to the recent temporary drop. and
as much as S. 81 and IS a ton over the
prices for wire last week. This huge
concern, with capitalization Of

AN OPPORTUNITY.
Market Lake Invites the Local Coursing
Club to Help Itself.

Club to Help Itself.
Yesterdays mail brought from Mar
ket Lake. Idaho, a letter to the Stand
ard in which is contained an open fnvi-
tation from the people of Market Lake
to the Anaconda and Butte Coursing
clubs to come down and help them
selves to the jack rabbits that will be
gathered at the drive on Saturday next.
The local coursing club has always
had trouble in getting jacks. The only
day of coursing that was given last
summer was more Of a slaughter than
coursing match. The 1ares We're
puny, weak little things with about as
much chance of escaping from the
hounds as if they had been snails. A
half a dozen times has the announce
ment gone forth that on such and such
a date there would be courSing. Matches
would be arranged and everything got
ten in readiness to pull off the races,
when it would invariably be found that
ii wars an impossible thing to secure
rabbits.
The drive at Market Lake will be
monster affair. There will be hundreds
of thousands of rabbits driven into the
corral. 1t is the chance the coursing
club wants-nothing should prevent the
securing of all the hares that may be
needed during the coming year at this
drive. The athletic field has been en-
larged, and it is now large enough for
turned into the field and left there until
wanted. The cost of building what little
fence is necessary to prevent their
escape is of small account. If the local
club does not take advantage of the
present opportunity to secure hares, it
is likely that another year will pass
without coursing.
The invitation of the Market Lake
people is as follows:
Market Lake, Idaho, Jan. 81, 1898.

The general committee on our ia bbit
drive. which takes. place Saturday, Feb.

Butte next Sunday for a game with
the smoke eaters. The following mem
bers will constitute the playing team:
Hammond, Hasley, Ryan, Sullivan
Platt, Andrews. Mccoy, Kunkel and
O'Brien.
The game will be played at the rink
known as the Butte skating rink, and

The members of the local team are
putting in as much time as they posi-
bly, can at practice. While they are
not oVerconfident of winning the
game from the Buttes. they believe
that they can give good account of
themselves. The uniforms of the team
not yet having arrived. arrangements
have been made with the baseball men
to use their uniforms. They have been
cautioned that If they disgrace the col
ors of the Pirates they need never show
their faces in Anaconda again

How Rails Are Injured.

While on steam roads the tracks are not
injured by locomotives running at high
speeds, street railway men complain that
their tracks are torn to pieces by the
electric cars. The reason for this is that
the plunging and rearing of cars mount d
on four-wheeed trucks pound the track
and loosen the joints. Cars on short-ba
single tracks often plunge sufficiently to
throw practically all the weight on the
front and rear wheels alternately, and
the damaging effect of this can easily

DELAY,

Among the wise maNims which we wrote in our
copybooks there Is none more valuable aud none
more neglected in practice than this: Never pu I
OF until tomorrow what you can do today" A
pyramid, mountain high, might be reared of the
bones of those who have proven that delay Is not
only dangerous, but in many cases fatal The
commonest manifestation of the danger of delay
is found in the neglect of the slight cold or little
cough until il fastens on the very stronghold of
life, and overthrows it, No stronger argument
can be urged for the keeping OF Ayers Cherry

neglected cold One dose in time prevents sick

Santiago de Cuba. Aug. II, 11:3O a. m.-
This morning Maj. d. Miley, with party,
consisting of Cept. e. Ferrer of Gen. Law
toms staff, Maj. Luis Tooliez Foolies),
chief of staff of the Spanish Gen. Toral,
and DIR. ]. b. Hubbell of the Red Cross

points.
AZ Baracoa 625 Spanish soldiers and Of

100000 cartridges, and at Sagua de Tanamo
S27 soldiers and officers, with one old

Society, all Of which has been divided be-
tween Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo
Maj. Miley found a little sickness at
either place and no yellow fever; but the
Spaniards were in perfect ignorance as
to the progress of the war. They had not
heard of Admiral Ceryera's defeat. On
the contrary, they had been told that
the American transports, which they had
seen off the coast, were Spanish ships
bringing reinforcements and that they
were amazed to hear the news OF the
American victory, the capitulation Of
Santiago and the signing of the protocol.
But without exception they expressed
the greatest delight at the prospect of re-
turning to Spain.
American troops will leave for Baracoa
and Sagua in the course Of a few days
Maj. Miley learned that the Spaniards
in that DISTRICT had done but little fight
ing with the insurgent forces for several
days.

TO MUSTER OUT MEN.
President Decides to Release From
10000 to 100000 at Once.


$4,000 to 100000 at Once.
Washington, Aug. H.-At midnight to-
might the President announced his decision
to muster out of the service from 5000 to
100000 of the volunteers. Those to be dis
charged will include three branches of the
service, infantry, artillery and cavalry.
From prominent official of the admin
istration ii is understood to be the desire
of the President to ascertain the wishes
of the volunteer troops themselves as to
remaining in the service.
One or two organizations have already
indicated a desire 10 leave The service as
soon as the government can reasonably do
without them They are composed largely
of business and working men, whose priv
ate business is suffering by reason of their
absence from home. So far as the inter-
ests of the government will permit ii Is
believed that the President, in mastering
out the volunteers will accommodate him
self to the desires of the men. It may be
some time before the organizations to be
mustered out will be designated, but the
reduction in The volunteer force will be
made as soon as practicable.

PROTOCOL NOT APPLICABLE.
Manila Being Held by Virtue of Mill
tary OCCUPATION.


Washington, Aug. 17.-Now that the
surrender of Manila is officially reported,
it can be stated that the city is being held
by virtue of the military occupation and
surrender and not by virtue of the pro-
tocol.
According to Admiral Dewey's dispatch
the surrender occurred about p. m last
Saturday. The peace protocol was signed
at 4;23 p. m. Friday.
1t is said that the difference in time
between Manila and Washington is such
that the surrender, reckoned on Washing
ahead of the time at Manila, or about )
a. m. Saturday morning
IN point of actual time, therefore, the
signing of The peace protocol preceded the
actual surrender of Manila by a few
hours.
But it is well established rule of mill
tary law, accepted the world over that q
peace armistice, or cessation of hostlities
does not become binding upon commanding
officers until they receive actual notice of
il.
Under this rule, Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Merritt would be bound by the armistice
from the time the notice of it reached
them at Manila. This could not have oc-
Cured on Saturday, prior 10 the lombard
ment as the cable was not working and
no dispatch boat could have gotten through
with the notice before Monday or Tues
day.

Washington, Aug. 17.-President McI<in-
ley and President Faure of France to-day
exchanged direct fluctuations over the re-
lations of the two countries and express
sions of mutual esteem Of the two chief
executives.
The occasion was the opening of new
cable between Cape Cod, Mass, and
Havre, on the French coast, and the
wires were connected to effect through

Washington and the Presidents palace at

House was NJ. Cambon the French am

and Ambassador Cambon's young son.

two countries by addressing to you an
expression of the feeling of sincere sym

public and the republic OF the United
States,
Il desire also to renew, Mr.. President
tho assurance of my high esteem and
constant friendship. Felix Faure.
A minute later, at 1896 President Nc
