WILL GO AFTER HATCH,

Sheriff Regain expects to start for
Richmond, Va, about Wednesday to
bring Lewellyn S. Hatch, the alleged de-
faulting insurance agent back to Butte
for trial. He will go to Helena tomor-
row after the governors signature to re-
QUESTION papers.
AS to Harry Luke, who was arrested
by the police department of San Fran
CISCO a few days ago at the request of
Sherlff Regan, it is possible that he will
be permitted to return without the aid of
an officer. He has expressed a willing
ness to do so. The charge against him is
forgery-he is alleged to have signed the
name OF william Owsley to a promis-
sorry note for $40 and sold the document
to Abe Atkin. 1t is now said that Luke
sun maintains that the signature is all
right and will stand on the position he
has taken. This is why he has expressed
a desire to return to Montana without
the aid OF either an officer or reuuisition
papers,

MAY END FATALLY,
A STABBING ARRAY AT A COCK.
ING MAIN.

Alexander Murray, better known as
"Scotty,' was cut in the stomach and
stabbed in the shoulder Yesterday after
noon during the progress of a row, and it
is probable that the wounds will cause his
death.
James J. Neary, his assailant, has been
arrested and will answer to a charge Of
murder if Murray fails to recover.
TIL trouble occurred at the Boulevard
Road house, located on the county road.
which is d continuation of Montana street.
A cooking main was in progress and about
100 men were in attendance. 1t is said that
Billy Condell and Pete Holland were
handling the birds and there was consider
able betting on the results. The decisions
of the judge did not please everybody and
as a result there was much i'll feeling.
When the main had been concluded Murray
and Neary had some trouble, but were
prevented from fighting by bystanders. The
real trouble occurred in the barroom, and,
according to the statement of Murray,
made to Deputy County Attorney Stivers,
he was standing at the end of the bar
drinking when Neary came in. Without
warning, the latter commenced slashing
at him with a knife and inflicted the two
wounds mentioned, the one in the stomach
being quite long and causing the intestines
to protrude. The trouble in the ring, he
said, was caused by Neary calling him a
vile name. He struck Neary, but a light
was prevented by bystanders. The injured
man made this statement after the sur
geons told him hat his wound would surely
prove fatal.
The police station was notified of the
stabbing at about I o'clock and Detective
Murphy and Abe Cohen procured a carriage
and started for the place. AT about $3.50
o'clock, while the search for the knife
wielder was still in progress, Paddy Jen-
nings "a friend of the man, appeared at the
jail and notified Captain Dawson and Ser
geant Leyden that Neary wanted to see
them at an appointed place. The officers
met him and escorted him to Jail, where
he gave the name Of James J. Neary.

GIVES UP AT LAST.
Nj. Guerin and His Companions Sur.
render After Six Weeks
of Siege.

Paris, Sept. 20.-M. Guerin surren-
dered shortly after four o'clock this
morning. His companions were al
lowed to go free. Thus the six weeks
siege ended in sublimely ridiculous
style.
The plan was to attack the building
and arrest Guerin and his band. The
government had given him until four
o'clock this morning to surrender, and
had regular army to assault the fort
if he refused. Troops, municipal guards,
mounted and on foot, and policemen to
the number of nearly 1000 were dis
patched to Gordon all the streets within
radius of quarter of mile of Fort
Chabrol.
At three am. NJ. Guerin appeared at a
window and asked an hours respite to
make up his mind, declaring that he
would surrender then if his friends
were not arrested.
At 4:15 a. m. NM. Millevoye and Las
les issued from the fort with NJ. Guerin.
NJ. Cochefort advanced and arrested the
agitator and led him to carriage, with
NJ. Millevoye and a captain of the repub-
lican guards. The horses went at full
gallop along the Boulevard de Genta to
the police depot, where Guerin was
locked up. In the meantime Guerin's
companions, who had been waiting un-
der the porch, advanced to surrender,
but the police told them they were free.
When NJ. Guerin's companions sepa-
rated they took coaches and were driven
off,

London, Sept. 21. - Despite all out

practically the same condition as was
the United States few weeks before
the opening of the war with SPAIN Be-
meath the crust of diplomatic reserve
the military officials are working night
and day, preparing for the signal to be-
gin hostilities, whether that comes or
not. England is not going to be caught

While Lord Salisbury is quietly at
home in Hatfield house, Mr.. Chamber
lain is buried in work at the colonial
office, and double forces at the royal
arsenal and dock yards are straining
every nerve to equip and transport
troops to the Cape.
Advices from Cape Town are to the
effect that the Afrikanders declare that
the Transvaal will not yield further
and that if the imperial government
does not recede from it's present posi-
ton war is inevitable. The South Af-
rican News supports the contention of
the Transvaal that the convention of
1884 abolished the suzerainty.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: President Kruger has
cabled strong personal appeal to the

TRUST CONFERENCE ENDS. .
Debate Between Bryan ana Cockran
Mr.. Bryan's Plntform-Anti-
Trust Men Greantxe.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-Col. William Jen-
nings Bryan demands the annihilation
of trusts by act of congress or constitu-
tional amendment, with federal and
state Intervention. His speech marked
the final day of the conference on trusts
at Central Music hall. In an eloquent
address, lasting nearly two hours, the
speaker attacked Industrial combina-
tions in unqualified terms, and was fire.
quently interrupted with applause by
an audience which thronged the hall.
Col. Bryan's address was the feature
Of the morning session. He was called
for as soon as Chairman Howe called
the convention to order at ten o'clock.
After protesting against the en-
thronement of money and the debase-
ment of man, he came out with an un-
qualified, flat-footed assertion that he
favored any action or movement aimed
to destroy trusts or combinations.
At the evening session and after the
work of the conference had been prac-
tically completed, Chairman Howe an
nounced that an opportunity for free
discussion would be given to all who
wished to take advantage of it.
Attorney General Smith. of Texas and
James D. Dill, of New York, had spoken in
answer to this invitation, when w. Dudley
F'oulke, OF Indiana, was called on. He took
occasion to criticise the remedy for trust
evils urged by Mr. Bryan in the morning,
and when he had finished the Nebrasxan

PROPOSAL OF FILIPINOS.
They Offer to Open Negotiations
Looking to the Release Of
American Prisoners.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Secretary
Root on Tuesday received cablegram
from Gen. Otis that seemed to indicate
a weakening on the part Of the insur-
gents in Luzon. It contained proffer
to deliver the American prisoners who
have been for SO many months in the
hands of the insurgents, and also sought
permission to parley with Gen. Otis.
This cablegram was at once taken by
Secretary Root over to the cabinet
meeting, and formed the main topic for
discussion at the beginning of the ses-
sion. However, upon reading the mes
sage carefully, its apparent Importance
seemed to diminish. Secretary Root
himself did not regard the matter as of
Importance at this time. He recalled
frequent efforts on the part of the in
surgents in the past to gain time at
critical moments by opening negotia-
tions, ostensibly with the object of max
ing peace, and he was not sure but this
last offer was something of the same
kind. However. the secretary was of
the opinion that it would fail to afford
the insurgents any advantage. Gen.
Otis would receive any messenger and
listen to him and make answer to his
proposals, but this would not restrain
the military operations in the slightest
degree, and the American arms would
lose no ground, no matter how the ne
gotiations turned out.
While no names are mentioned in the
dispatch it is inferred that included in
the list of American prisoners to whom
the negotiations relate is Lieut.. Gil
more and the Is men of the Yorktown,
who were captured by the insurgents
on the east coast of Luzon; Maj. Rookie
feller, who was captured beyond the
American lines one night shortly after
his arrival in the Philippines, and about
half dozen private soldiers who have
been repOrted MISSING

tation speech.

Knoxville, Tenn; Col. Tomlinson Fort,
an ex-confederate officer; Gen. Smith D..
