July IA French gunboat OF about
1000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to-
night without permission and met with
a surprise party. The cruiser Marble
head fired a blank shot as the gunboat
came into the entrance Of the harbor.
but no attention was paid to this, n
a shot from a 6-pounder was sent
across her bows. This, too, was disre-
garded, the gunboat coming along un-
der full steam. Fol a few minutes 1t
looked as IL a row was possible. The
trumpets on the Marblehead ang out
a call to quarters and another shot
was sent across the Frenchman's bows.
this time in uncomfortable proximity.
That warning was sufficient, however,
and the Frenchman stopped with ex-
IRENE ~suddenness. 1t Is against naval
custom for a war vessel OF one nation
to enter a port which vessels of an
other nation are blockading unless per-
mission is granted. The captain of
the French gunboat was either in ig-
norance of the American occupation or
chose to disregard Il until forcibly re-
minded Of the fact by Commodore Nc
Gala. The gunboat was allowed TO
anchor in the lower harbor for the
night.

BUTTE NEWS.


The Subscription Of Butte People to the
War Loan.
Butte has offered to loan Uncle Sam
81, 900. 900 for the purpose of carrying on
the war with Spain. That is. in round
numbers. the total sum subscribed to-
wards the new wal bonds by Butte peo-
pie and banks. Yesterday was the last
day for receiving subscriptions to the
bonds. Reports are to the effect that
the $500, o00,0 900 asked for a w been SUBJ
scribed for five or six times over. So
million dollars being accepted. In fact.
Butte will do well IL $500. 900 is accepted
from here. Still Ii is some satisfaction
to know that n city in n of the I'M
desirable states subscribed for one two
hundredths of the entire loan asked for.
Not only does Montana lead in volun-
teers for the war. but the results will
probably show that, in proportion to
population. it's subscription to the war
fund was equal to that Of any state.
1t must be confessed, however. that
the Ill of Butte's offer came from the
banks themselves for investment of their
surplus cash. OF the total million prob
ably 100000 was subscribed by three
banks Of Butte for their own invest
menI. Inc DdianCe was sent III ny tilc
banks for their customers. The First
National bank sent to Washington
about $3.50. 900 altogether, Of which $780,
900 was for themselves, directly or indi-
rectly. Hoge. Brownlee & Co. asked for
$500, 900 of the bonds and w. A. Clark
& Bro. asked for $3.50. 900. The other
banks made no attempt to raise money
for the bonds and did not subscribe
themselves. The Silver Bow National
bank forwarded one subscription of 800.
There was subscribed through the
postofice about 5000 for the bonds.
A banker said yesterday: Had any
effort been made In Butte. easily 81, 900,
900 could have been subscribed. These
bonds are given at par and a 3 per
cent. interest. They can undoubtedly
be sold at a premium very soon. III the
government wishes to dispose of the
other $500, 900. 900 authorized by con-
gress for war expenses. undoubtedly
they would be gobbled up at a pre-
MUM. They are, of course. the safest
| investment on earth. and while men in
business and engaged in mining specu-
lations have other use for their money
and pay no attention to the bonds, but
for people living on salaries with a sur.
plus that is idle, they are very desir'
able"

JUMPED THE TRACK
Another Serious Accident on the
Drummond Branch.
SEVEN MEN ARE WOUNDED
Two OF Them Are Reported as Seriously
Injured-They Jumped When
the Dead Engine Left
the Track.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
M~issoula, July 1.-the Drummond
and PhiIipsburg branch was tonight
the scene of another serious railway
accident. The wrecking train that was
sent up last night had completed its
work and was returning with the en-
CINE that was smashed up last night.
The train consisted OF eight cars. a ca
boose and the lead engine. No. 800. A
short distance below Stone Station, st
s o'clock, the dead engine jumped the
track and took the car behind Il
along. One Of the cars, an empty box
car, is completely wrecked and the dead
engine is partly turned over Several
other cars are of the track but are
not damaged.
When the accident occurred the
wrecking crew was on the cars near
the dead engine. Seven Of these men
are injured and i've of them iare re-
ported as very seriously hurt. The
names of the injured nave not been
received at headquarters and IL will be
near morning before they are brought
here. One of the badly injured men IS
said to be badly crushed.
From the meager details of the ofhcial
report received here it Is thought that
the men jumped when the dead engine
left the track and In that way received
their injuries. Engineer Gregory and
Conductor Woodson are not injured.
The engine hat was pulling the train
is all right.

at Her Home.


Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Spokane, Wash, July led Ma
honey. the Butte mining man. who has
been here for a week or SO. was a mad
man to-day when he read in the Stand
ard of Wednesday the story which told
of his departure from Butte and the
disappearance of Nellie Corbett. He de-
MED ~emphatically hat he had the girl
with him or that he knew of her where
abouts. Since his stay here there has
been nothing TO indicate that Nellie Cor
bett has come to Spokane, either with OF
after Mahoney.
IF Nellie Corbett has left her home"
said Mahoney to the Standard corre-
spondent this evening, sit is because
she has been unkindly treated at home.
Her own grandmother, Mrs. Doyle, has
advised her to leave home. Do l think
the girl has gone wrong? Indeed i dc
not. She is not that kind. She is a pref
ty girl and a graceful one, but her
father has 50 roken her spirits that
she has no taste for the company OF
young men and would never receive at
tentions. / would think she would be
more likely to commit suicide than tc
go wrong.
"The report that / wrote my wife I
would go back to and face the music
is false. / wrote i would return IL neces-
sary to defend my reputation, n that
/ have made by rs years residence in
Montana and am not ashamed of. Since
coming here I have written to my wife
and my boy and they are being well
cared for. There is no truth in the re-
port that they are in financial straits.
They are by no means In want. and SC
long as / am alive they will not be. As
to selling the family organ, that could
hardly be true, as We have no organ,
but a $500 piano.
THE story about my wife promising
the dying mother Of Nellie to care for
the girl is sentimental bosh. Nellie was
not in our mouse for W. years after
her mother died. My wife took 10 more
interest in Nellie's welfare han did any
other woman in the neighborhood."
