SIX SMALL BOYS IN COURT.
Another YOunEster Charges Then
with AssaultinG Him.

George Richards, Henry O'Bonnell.
Harry Dams, Edward Luckett. Bernard
White. jr, and James Angel. all small
boys, none Of them more than eleven
years of age were arraigned before Judge
Scott this morning charged with assault
ing James Robinson. another small boy.
Robinson claimed that the boys would
chase him and beat him while he was re-
turning from work. He is employed by
milk dealer and goes out very early in the
morning. When he returned home for
his breakfast he was in the habit OF
bringing home small quantity of milk.
The six defendants, he claimed, would all
attack him and take his milk. Mrs. Rob-
inson testified that when she threatened
to have the boys arrested they threatened
her and she was very much afraid they
would do her bodily harm.
1t was brought out during the trial that
George Richards, one OF the smaller boys.
had been in the Reform School. The Judge
asked IL there was anyone in court who
could speak for any of the boys. Several
parents and relatives appeared to testify.
They did not care to shield the boys from
punishment.
Judge Scott delivered a severe lecture
to the youthful offenders. telling them
that their conduct would eventually land
them in Jail. He then sent the boys home
and recommended that their parents cor
rect them.

ing in the Anaconda as well as a control
ling interest in the important European
mines, have been frequently credited with
q purpose OF cornering the copper supply
of the world.
Now. it is believed, Senator Clark has
interested them in the International Cop
per Trust, and that soon the mining and
financial world will be startled with the
tidings that the copper supply Of the en-
tire world is practically under one man
agement. This would bring the Rockefel-
lers and the Rothschilds into corporation
relationships combination vaster than
any the world ever dreamed Of. Such a
syndicate, with the Standard Oil colossus
as part of 1t, would come very near the
hypothetical universal trust Of the ccono-
mists.
Every word received from abroad indi-
Gates the great success Of Senator Clark.
His work has added to the force of the
copper boom until now copper shares are
the sensation Of every bourse in Europe.

A COLOSSAL COPPER TRUST.
Combination of the ROckefeilers and
the ROthschilds Predicted.

The great new Amalgamated Copper
Company is king of the trusts. 1t Is the
biggest combination of capital ever made.
1t is the combination Of the richest cop
per mines in the world. 1t is financed by
the money kings of America, the trust
kings.
The capital stock of the trust is s15.-
900 900, divided into $50, 600 shares of 500
par value. The subscription to the stock
closed in New York yesterday, and before
the announced hour of closing the stock
had all been subscribed for. with great
surplus of bids to spare. A great crowd
of men and women anxious to buy the
stock was turned away when the hooks
were closed. The demand for this stock
was so great that it sold yesterday on the
day of the closing of the books at $40 a
share, or $40 above par. There has not
been such a wild desire for investment in
many years as the formation OF TINS
company has caused. coming as II does
after many months Of great advances In
copper prices and in the centre OF one OF
the greatest speculative manias that ever
swept the country.
The Amalgamated Copper Company Is
an immense trust, but there are reasons
to believe that it is only the American
end of the colossal International Copper
Trust, embracing the Rio Tinto mines OF
Spain and the capital Of the Rothschilds
as well.
The American Copper Trust comprises
the Standard Oil copper properties. the
six plants OF the Great American Copper
Mining Company, the Boston and Mon
tana, Butte and Boston companies, Old
Dominion, of Arizona; Arcadian. lamar
ack and Osceola companies, OF Michigan.
and probably all the important Canadian
copper properties.
The gigantic trust is the result of an
unprecedented demand for copper, the
soaring in prices of the metal and the i'm
provement in copper processes In short,
there was too much money in copper to
he left to individual companies in this age
of combines, and the international trust
naturally "evoluted."
Pretty nearly all the big American
mines except the Calumet and Hekin. are
embraced in the combine. and the news
from abroad indicates that there will be a
sympathetic connection If not an actual
union with the Rio Tinto mines OF Spain
which. except the Anaconda mine. OF Mon
tana. are reckoned the largest producers
in the world. Rio Tinto is controlled by
French capitalists. and these are the men
Senator Clark has succeeded in interesting
in the Anglo-French Company.

TESTING GUNS FOR THE ARMY.
A New Arm for the Service Under
Examination.

Examination.
Springfield, Mass, May 5.-Major Taylor
and Lieutenant Harney of the United
States Army. with the possible addition of
Capt. Rogers Birnie. will constitute an
examining board to examine into the
merits OF a new Maxim gun with a view
of adopting 1t for service.
1t is possible that a new branch Of the
service will be organized to use 1t. The
new arm is one in which the recoil Of the
barrel Is utilized to load, eject the empty
shells and produce new cartridges ready
for firing. 1t 10 operated by one man,
who has no other duty to perform than to
sit on a tripod and direct the fire af the
gun. 1t is already used by the navy, but
only In larger sizes, while the one sug-
gested for the army will discharge the
same calibre OF ammunition as the small
arms used by both army and navy.
Different makes OF machine guns have
been used In the United States Army. the
wing cannon being among the number.
bat the new Maxim has features quite dis
tinctive from any OF these Without the
tripod the gun weighs between fifty and
sixty pounds. and can be carried strapped
to a man's back or strapped on a mule.
Many army omcers favor q new branch Of
service to use small rapid-arfng suns.

the vlckers Gun and Maxim Company. Of
England, are In the city to attend tests

NAVAL GOVERNOR
Captain Leary Sails for the
Island Of 6uam.
He Will Have Absolute Control of
the Tiny Possession.
His Authority VIII De Supported by
the Guns aud Men Of the Cruiser
Yosemite.

New York. May 5-Capt. Richard P.
Leary, United States Navy. who has been
appointed governor of Guam. sailed today
on the cruiser Yosemite for his province
in the Pacific. The quarters provided for
naval vessel. He has four staterooms
with baths in addition to his private
cabin. The Yosemite carries a heavy
battery Of fve-inch and rapid fire guns
and is loaded with lumber for building
coal sheds and depots and blacksmiths'
and engineers tools for eQuippins machine
shops. Every available inch of space Is
crowded with stores and provisions of all
kinds
In addition to his title of Governor Cen
eral Of Guam. Captain Leary Is also to bs
postmaster general of the island. Guam
will be made permanent naval station.
Captain Leary will be the first naval
governor In the history Of the United
States. His arrival at Guam will be at
tended with comparative pomp and>splen-
dor, for he will have the big cruiser Yo-
semitic at his command. which Is freight
ed with a complete and varied cargo of
supplies for the new colony-from silver
plate. intended for the executive mansion.
to an immense windmill.
He will land gubernatorial guard of
125 marines and a light battery of four
guns. The governor says he has formu-
lated no definite plans with regard to his
ofice. When interviewed today he said:
MY course Of action will be guided en-
tirely by the conditions l have to con-
front. Should the natives prove intelli-
gent and trustworthy. hope to be able to
give some of the minor executive details
he 1anf 70 fhAr,
ated in this by desire to enlist the inter-
est and sympathy Of the natives in coop
Grating with me-"
Captain Leary is a well-known character
among the islands of the Pacific. 1t was
he who. commanding the little corvette
Adams. SO well protected American inter-
ests in Samoa in 1888. when trouble with
the Germans seemed inevitable. His power
and authority over the Ladrones will be
almost absolute. This means that there
will be vested in him the supreme judicial
and executive authority. From petty lar
ceny TO treason his word will be law.
His only Limitation will be a general pol
icy prescribed by the Administration. and
such orders as may reach him from time
to time from the Navy Department and
from Admiral Dewey at Manila. under
whose command he is nominally.
1t is Captain Leary's purpose to estab-
lish a coaling station; in fact. a small ma
val colony. complete in itself. and to make
a thorough survey of the islands and ad-
jacent waters.
The Yosemite under command of Com
mander George Ide. will be retained on
the station. and every two months or so
will be sent to Manila or Hongkong and
Yokohama for supplies. and to communi-
cate with the fleet Also a government
vessel will make a round trip at intervals
of three months to San Francisco. Here
tofore Guam has been little heard OF ex-
cept as a stopping place.
