RECEIVER FOR THE
UNITED VERDE,
the Property-Long Litigation
Threatened

New York, Nov. 2S.--Henry A. At.i
water of the law firm of Atwater 8d
Cruikshank said to-day that a suit haT
been brought in the state supreme court
for the appointment of receiver forI
the United Verde Copper company, att
jerome, Ariz., and the railroad leadingA
to jerome Junction from the works.,
United States Senator w. A. Clark isl
one of the largest stockholders in the
company, which is capitalized for $S,-
0000 900
Mr.. AtWater said that the suit was
brought for the purpose of preventings
the sale of the property, with a view
to reorganization of the company. The
minor stockholders who are Interested
in the proceedings fear that they are
to be frozen out in the reorganization,
and have taken these means to block
the deal. The company was organized
under the laws Of this state in 1888, but
as the laws governing corporations be-
came more severe, it was advisable to
give up the New York charter. Out
of 100000 shares the holders of $4,000
voted to dissolve the company as New.
erty will be sold, but will be bought in
by the majority stockholders.
The purpose is to organize a new
corporation under the laws of West
Virginia. with a capital of $3,000.000.
and to transfer all the property in ex-
change for stocks and bonds, which
will be divided among the present
stockholders pro rata.
The new suit to turn the property
over to receiver threatens to upset
the reorganization scheme and involve
the property in long litigation. The
mine is one of the largest. producers of
copper in the United States.

CHANDLER'S APPEAL.
He Wants to Redeem New Hampshire
From the Rule of Railroads.

Concord, N H., Nov. 2S.--United
States Senator Chandler. Ex-Governor
Busiel and others to-day issued an adj
dress to the republicans of New Hamp-
shire. inviting cooperation in opposing
what is termed the railroad powers in
the state and suppressing of evils aris-
ing from industrial combines and ssd-
vocating improved election laws and
other reforms.
The address in part says:
The undersigned republicans solicit
your cooperation in efforts within the
party to obtain:
Il. The statutory prohibition of free
passes on railroads.
-. The repeal of the power of the
supreme court to decide that any steam
or electric railroad which it's promot-
ers desire to build is unnecessary and
hostile to the public good.
%. "A primaries law governing the
caucuseS and conventions of the polit-
cal parties:
Il. The discontinuance of the collec-
tion for alleged campaign purposes of
large sums of money from office hold
ers, the treasures and owners of rail-
roads and other securities and the pro-
motion of honest election methods.
IS. The suppression of the evils aris-
ing from the trusts"
Under the head of trusts, the address
advocates the universal application in
the state of the principle of unrestrict-
ed competition which is the life of trade
and the basis of all prosperity in so
ciety and the election of members of
legislatures and of congress who will
enforce this principle.
THE conventions will readily enough
denounce trusts and declare for COM
petition. The danger is that the cause
will be betrayed by representatives and
senators in the state legislatures and in
the national congress so that extraor-
dinary pains must be taken by the peo-
pie to stand against such betrayals."
The appeal concludes:
The undersigned believe the neglect
by republicans to pursue earnestly and
in good faith the five objects named
above will endanger republican ascen-
dency in the state and nation, While
the sincere and effective pursuit of
those objects. state and national vic
tory in 1900 Will be achieved"

NO PROTESTS RECEIVED.
Military Government in Cuba May Be
Continued for Some Time.

Continued for Some Time.
Washington. Nov. 2S.-The protests
which the cable representatives from
Cuba say some of the Cubans are making
against the reported esta blishment of
civil government in Cuba were incidental
ly brought to the attention of the cabinet
to-day by Secretary Root. None of these
protests have been officially received here.
Secretary Root said in answer to a ques-
tion on this subject that there was no i'm
mediate intention of establishing a civil
government in Cuba. This, however must
only be taken to mean that no decision
has vet been reached concerning the ap-
pontment of civil governor, which has
been under consideration for some time,
but it can be stated upon high authority
that the alleged Concentrations now going
on in Cuba aginst the establishment of
a civil government may result in allowing
the present military government to con-
tinue longer than it otherwise would
The administration does not seek to force
upon the Cubans a civil government that
would be offensive to the ma ajority of the
inhabitants of the island.

METCALF THE man.
Senior Major Will Probably Be
Colonel of the Fighting
Twentieth.

Who will succeed General Funston as
colonel of the Twentieth Kansas is
question that naturally suggests itself.
In the natural order of things Ed c.
Little, the lieutenant colonel would be
promoted to the place. 1t is, however
believed that Major Wilder S. Metcalf
of Lawrence is the man who will be
given the position. The appointment
will be made by Governor Stanley.
Col. Little has been unfortunate. A
short time before the fighting COM
menced he was accidentally wounded
and Joined his regiment on March II.
Major Metcalf made a record in the
early fighting and was wounded during
a, charge. He is an old mem ber of the
Kansas National Guard and is we'll in
formed on military affairs. Col Little
is unfortunate in another particular.
He was a member of Governor Leedy's
administration.
When Governor Stanley received the
news of the appointment of Colonel
Funston to be a brigadier general, he
directed Private Secretary Allen to ca
BILE his congra tulations to the plucky
Kansan.
Funston:
Congratulations.
STANLEY"
That was the cablegram. 1t needed
no further address. Just after the mes
senger had carried the yellow slip of
paper away and Mr.. Allen had remark
ed that he left hearty out of the
message because II would COST u. AZ,
Governor Stanley stepped into the
room.
Has the news of the appointment
been confirmed?" he asked.
Yes" replied the secretary.
''WeIl, whether it is true not" re-
marked the governor, congratulations
are always in order with Funston and
it's safe to send them any day.
when will he receive the message?"
asked some one.
1.-The message will get there about g.
O'Clock, but there's no telling when he
will get it for he may be off somewhere
swimming
'.That will make several places to be
hlled,'' said Secretary Allen. "A col
onel, two majors, a captain, a first lieu
tenant and a second lieutenant"
"'What about the lieutenant colonel?"
remarked the governor.
"Oh, they have one now," said the
secretary.
Il shall make no appointment until
I receive the official news from Wash
ington,' said Governor Stanley when
asked who would be appointed colonel.
81 can not say who it will be. I will
probably appoint the man that is the
choice of the regiment
rs that Major Metcalf?" was asked.
81 have understood so. 1 believe that
nine out of ten people in Kansas wish
to see Major Metcalf appointed. Who
ever the regiment is united upon 1 will
appoint. The subordinate appoint
ments will be made largely as hereto
fore. I have always followed Colonel
Funston's wishes in the matter and
