Prediction Unwarranted.

New York, March "a dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
Cecil Rhodes prediction about the alb
sorption of South America by the Unit
ed States, which has been printed
here have been very severely criticised.
The newspapers agree in saying that
Mr.. Rhodes has only proved that he
has not the slightest idea of the con-
dition in the South American republics.
The Welshmen living in the Chubut
territory have sent a communication to
the press declaring that they did not
authorize any one to request Great
Britain to establish protectorate over
Chubut. The international conference
on the Puma de Atacama question is
in session and submission of the ques-
ton to United States Minister Buchan-
an seems unavoidable. The Chilean
delegates conferred with Mr.. Buchanan

is altogether likely that a cordial inv
tation will be sent to the president to
visit Butte during his visit West. 1t is
true that Bryan is still the idol of
Butte, but that will not stand in the
way of Butte giving proper recognition
to the man who is honored with the
exalted position of president of the
United States. The state of Montana
gave some 10000 majority against Nc
Kinley, but he will nevertheless get a
good reception if he will stop in The
mining regions of the Rocky noun
tains. 1t may prove of service to the
mining interests to have the president
find out what there really is in this part
of the world. Butte is making no pre-
parations for celebration of the
Fourth of July, it has been disappointed
that Admiral Dewey is not to land at
San Francisco and pass east this way
and the only prospect in sight for a cell
ebraton is in case Mckinley makes a
stop here. Several members of the COM
mittee are in favor of an immediate
meeting so that things may be started
moving.

AN OLD TIMER DEAD.

Room-Heart Failure.

Edward Shields, an old-timer in Butte
and well-known miner, was found
dead in his room in Mullins boarding
house at Centerville yesterday Death
is supposed to have been due &C heart
failure.
Wednesday night Mr.. Shields was est
with a crowd of fellows having a good
time and appeared to be in meusuratly
good health with the exception that lie
complained of pains in his back, with
which he had been annoyed for some
days. but he did not regard The pains
as anything serious. Yesterday after
noon about o'clock it occurred to EeIll
Mcdonald, friend, that he had not
seen Shields all day. and he Concluded
to go up to his room AMI see if any
thing was the matter He found the old
gentleman dead in bed.
Coroner Julien was 1t hncc notified.
He went to Centerville and made an
investigation. There was nothing to
indicate that death had resulted from
anything but natural causes, and the
coroner came to the conclusion from all
he could learn that the cause Of death
was heart failure. Under che ot the pill
lows of the bed the coroner found a
pocketbook containing SiG0 in bills ond
a purse containing SIS in silver. His
watch and papers were found in their
usual place in the pockets of mis-
clothes, which hung on a chair. and ev-
erything about Ghe rom indicated lie
had simply lain down to sleep ana cX-
pired.
Several persons said they had seen
Shields at ) o'clock mass in The morn
ing, but his roommate stated this could
hardly be true, as he left the room a.
$40 in the morning ana Shields was
then in bed and aslaAc. The body was
stiff when found and indicated disso-
luton occurred some hours before. The
body was removed t. Dusgan's under
taking rooms, where al inquest will be
held this evening.
The deceased was 80 years IF age and
a native Of Ireland. He lived in Butte
Is years and worked in the mires up to
about year ago. Since that tine he
has been employed as janitor at Hi
hernia hall. He was a member of the

ances. He was never married, and as

GOOD WRESTLING.
Moth Proved Himself Wonder and Was
in the Pink of Condition.

IN the Pink of Condition.
About 500 people saw some good
wrestling at the Grand opera house last
evening in the matches between Charles
Moth and Tony jenkins, the Michigan
strong man, and between Moth and
Billy Woods, the local athlete. The
match between Moth and Jenkins was
two IN three falls, catch-as-catch-can
In the match with Woods Moth en-
gagged to throw his opponent three
times in an hour. Moth won both en-
gagements, the first after three-uuar-
ters OF an hour of hard wrestling and
the last with ridiculous ease.
Moth proved himself a wonder He il
a big, bony muscular fellow, and in
the very pink of condition, weighed 1874
pounds He was quicker than thought
ana displayed great knowledge of
the game. jenkins weighed 21S, was
fat and t1abby and in no sort of condi-
ton, but he showed himself a good
wrestler, and had he been in condition
might nave given Moth run for his
money.
The wrestling started at 9:15 and tho
men gave beautiful exhibition up TO
the first fall when Moth got a neck
held and hammerlock and noored his
man after just % minutes of wrestling.
The second bout was slower and the
fall was won by Moth on half Nelson
IN Il minutes.
After 10-minute rest Moth tackled
his second opponent. Billy was game
and showed he knew how to wrestle.
but it was like a child pitted against
man. Billy was no match for the
giant, who tossed him about like a
match, and when he got ready to throw
him he went down. 1t took just two
minutes to do the trick in the first fall,
one minute for the second and a min
ute and a half for the third

from the manager of Hall Adali, the

probable that a public meeting will be
held by the commission within day
or TWO to give advocates of the differ
ent sites an opportunity to discuss the
merits OF the various locations with the
members of the board. The council
chamber of the city hall has already
been engaged for the proposed meeting,
but the date for it has not yet been APP
pointed. Chairman Window stated yes
terday that the board had authority to
decide on the loca ton and it was It's
duty to do SO, but the decision would
not be made public until the treasury
department had approved it. After the
board reports it's findings to the depart
ment the matter will be referred to the
attorney general, who will direct the
United States district attorney to in
vestigate the title of the property,
which will require considerable time
and work. If the title is found perfect
the owner of the property will then be
notified by the treasury department
that his property and bid is accepted.
after the ground passes into the
possession of the government" said
Mr.. Window. "the supervising archi-
tect is notified and the plans and spec
ifications of the building are COM
menced, and when these are complet-
ed advertisements are inserted in
number of the building trade journals
for period of about 80 days. and any
contractor who desires to bid for the
construction of the building can secure
a copy of the plans and specifications
by writing to the supervising architect,
and a certified check, to insure the
good faith of the contractor bidding.
TT is probable that the Butte build
ing will occupy about 10000 square feet
of ground area with basement, two
stories and attic, and will be occupied
by the United States court, postotfice
and the commissioner of internal reve-
nue'
