A WE'LL KNOWN MINING BROKER
IN TROUBLE.

The we'll known mining broker, w. H.
Nichols, of No. / West Broadway, Butte.
Montana. has got himself into plenty of
trouble.
1t seems that about four months ago he
advertised a certain mining company to
be known as the Butte & Bingham Cop
per Mining company of Bingham. Utah.
The company was incorporated for 1,OOO.-
900 shares at a par value of l cent per
share. and he succeeded in selling o
600, OcO shares Of the stock at l cent per
share, regardless of the good advice given
out by certain confidential persons who
took it upon themselves to keep the inno-
cent investors from losing their money
by innocent investment in such cheap.
wildcat stock. This of course caused
many Of the would-be investors to stop
and consider the ACCESSIBILITY of taking a
chance, while with others it only made
them more anxious to place their hard
earned money in the hands of the mining
shark.
Among those who were enticed into
throwing their money away by investing
in the Butte & Bingham Copper Mining
shares at l cent per share
We're two ladies'. They invested 5000. TAX
ing 20. 900 shares between them. Mr..
Nichols took their money with as much
graceas if they were worth a million
apiece, and this is just what has caused

ton on earth, and would not be in the
future: that the downfall Of Spain meant
American occupancy.
Every step taken by Aguinaldo was
with the understanding that he was help
ing to destroy the power of Spain to
make room for the authority Of the Unit
ed States. 1t was to that end that he
was equipped with American arms and
ammunition, since used against our
troops. The policy of the government
was clear on this point. On the 26th day
of May. 1898. Admiral Dewey received a
cablegram from Secretary Long stating
that it was desirable not to have politi-
cal alliance with the insurgents or any
faction in the islands that would incur
a liability to maintain their cause in the
future" To this Mr.. Dewey promptly re-
sponded as follows: Have acted accord
ing to the spirit of the departments In
structions since the beginning, and I have
entered into no alliance with the insurg-
ents or any faction And a month later,
June o6, the admiral reported to the gov
eminent as to the cooperation with
Aguinaldo. making the statement that
"the United States has not been bound in
any way to assist insurgents by any act
or promise"
Aguinaldo took up arms against the
United States as an ~afterthought, in
spired by copperhead opposition to the
treaty of peace with Spain, and with the
evident purpose of being bought off" as
he previously had been by the Spanish
officers at Manila. The result Of all this
showing is that the members Of that Vi
cious organization known as the lnde-
pendent Order Of American Copperheads
have been driven into the last ditch.
What kline of a grand stand play will be
made by these celebrated retreaters be-
fore giving up their fight as a bad job re-
mains to be seen. In the meantime they
do not require a fieldglass to see Old
Glory marching on their works.

Yesterday General Weyler, the famous
butcher, made a threat on the floor of the
Spanish senate in Madrid that a revolu-
ton was imminent, and that 1t might
serve to clear the political atmosphere.
He was promptly called down with the
statement that a man who could not sup
press the Cuban rebellion with 300, 900 SOL
diers should not talk about revolution.
Thus it will be seen that the Spaniards
have other amusements besides bull
fights. "

LIEUTENANT HOMER RICKARDS.

In another column Of today's Inter
| Lieutenant Richards, which can be read
with interest and profit by all. The gal
liant young officer returned from the
Philippines last night, and talks freely
aNto the situation in our south Pacific
possessions. Though not as yet dis
charged from the army, the condition or
his health made his retirement from ac-
tive service in the tropics a necessity.
This fact, and a Discrimination to perma-
nently follow a military life, led him to
! refuse the proffer Of a l~ieutenantcy in
the regular army.
Lieutenant Richards opportunity to
| study the situation in the Philippines was
| all that could be desired, and while his
statements are Of interest throughout,
| special attention is called to what he has
to say relative to questions of public i'm
portance at this time. The lieutenant is
of the opinion that the ackbo of the
rebellion in the Philippines was broken
at Calumpit, and that the fall campaign.
! after the close of the rainy season, will
bring it to a speedy conclusion; that Gen.
eral Otis has lone as good work as was
possible under the environments, but
while campaigns were in%telligently
planned and creditable victories won
from the inception Of the war. he did not
have sufficient men to properly garrison
the territory acquired or protect military
supplies intransit to the interior.
1t is generally understood in the Philip
pines, according to Lieutenant Richards.
that Aguinaldo precipitated the rebellion
with a view to personal gain, and was
encouraged in the movement by the be-
lief that a sentiment in his favor in
America would force a peace agreement
on whatever terms he might see fit to lay
down. Aguinaldo and his associates in
the scheme educated the ignorant natives
Of the interior into the belief that they
would be murdered in cold blood by the
Americans unless they successfully re-
sisted their power, hence their following.
The we'll informed natives, property hold
ers and business men in the cities, are
strongly in favor of American occupancy
and the retirement of Aguinaldo.
The position taken by the Inter Noun
tain relative to Philippine affairs is borne
out by the statements of Lieutenant
Richards. and his interview will do much
to clear the atmosphere as to some of the
points in controversy.

all or the trouble. as it now appears that
both OF these ladies have. sold out their
STOCK 70 Mr. Nichols for the small sum
Of $4,000. making s.. 300 net money on
their investment of 5000, and now he is
compelled to keep two clerks and a small
BOY selling shares at Is cents per share,
ana Mr.: Nichols claims that the next
block Will positively go on the market at
no tless than 30 cents, and possibly so
cents per share. He also claims that this
same stock will reach the dollar mark by
the first of the year.
The last assay from the mine gave re-
turns as low as 20 in gold, / ounce in
SILVER, lR per cent copper and s per cent
lead also as high as 5000 in gold, So
ounces in silver, 46 per cent lead and
Ia $40 per cent copper.
Mr.. Nichols advises everyone who is
contemplating the purchase of Butte &
Bingham stock to wait 80 or 60 days until
the stock has reached so cents per share,
as 1t will then look more like a legitimate
investment than to buy now while it is
offered at Is cents per share.

Japan on an Equal Footing.

Washington. July IA new treaty
between the United States and Japan
goes into effect to-day, at which time
also new treaties between Japan and
nearly all of the countries of Europe
and some Of the South American re-
publics 90 into effect. 1t is an event
of far-reaching Importance in the re-
lations between Japan and the United
States. The same is true in the rela-
tons of Japan with the countries of
Europe and some of the many new
treaties place Japan on an entirely new
footing with the world at large as she
is recognized, for the first time, as an
equal in every respect.

taw court for murder. The execution
was horribly sickening affair. A few

which was deposited in front Of

quilt was spread. The condemned
man, supported by Sheriff Watson
and deputy and escorted by
20 light horsemen, was marched down
the line of spectators. Going knelt on
the quilt, blindfolded. The sheriff
barred his bosom, painted spot over
his heart, stepped back four PAGES,
rested Winchester across a bench and

Just missing the spot. Going fell back
ward and moaned piteously for All
hour before expiring. Water was
poured down his throat number of
times TO hasten death by strangulation.

VIEWS OF BISHOP THoBuRN.
A Methodist Missionary Of 40 Years In the
Far East Talks of China and
the Philippines.

Cincinnati, July l4.-Bishop J. NJ.
Thoburn, Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who has spent 40 years as a
missionary, mostly in India, is here.
The bishop spent some time in Manila
in March last, and was an intelligent
observer of events. He says there is
no doubt that the outbreak between
the Americans and Filipinos was in.
tended by the Filipino leaders to in.
clude general massacre in the city Of
Manila. Bishop Thoburn was in
London when the thrilling news
OF Dewey's victory reached there.
1t was universally understood
there, he said, that it meant the per-
manent possession Of the Philippines
by the United States. The whole his
tory of the present Philippine situa-
ton showed such natural and logical
and even inevitable course of events
that the United States is bound to as
sert its authority there. Anarchy and
assassination, he declares, would fol-
low the withdrawal of the United States
forces. The only trouble lies in Luzon is
land. All other islands are peaceful.
Viewing the situation in the far east
from the standpoint Of missionary OF
40 years in that part Of the world, the
bishop was impressed with the fact
that it was the duty Of the United
States, forced upon it by the circum-
stances Of the Spanish war, to hold the
Philippines and to preserve order and
extend civilized government in that
vast region, Moreover, in the interest
of morality and Christianity, he hoped
fof the dissolution of the Chinese en-
pire, which he characterized as the
most helpless governments on the earth.

MAY BECOME PERMANENT.
Belief That the Provisional Force Now Be
Ing Mustered VIII BE Incorporated
into the Regular Army.

Washington, July 17.-At the war
department the pressure for commits
sions continues, although most of the
appointments for the volunteer regi-
ments ordered have been made. The
pressure Is believed to be due to the
belief that eventually this provisional
force' will become part of the regu-
lar military establishment, and
that the tenure Of officers now
appointed will be about as secure
as that Of those who have
long been in the regular service. There
is no doubt that there will be need for
all the forces now authorized for long
time after the expiration Of the limit
OF time placed upon the enlistment Of
the volunteers. Under the terms Of
the existing law all Of the officers
and troops are to be mustered out
July |, 1901, but 1t Is believed that
before that time arrives the necessity
OF extending the time will be APP
parent, or it is probable that congress
will simply incorporate the provision
al army as part Of the regular mill
tary establishment. The provision for
the volunteers was made necessary on
account Of the opposition in congress to
the permanent increase of the army es-
tablishment above the maximum basis
of67, 900. 1t is likely that this opposition
will be greatly diminished when the
question comes up with respect to the
permanent incorporation Of the pro-
vsional forces, by the fact that great
many men in congress will be inter-
ested in retaining in the army officers
whose appointments they have secured.
The administration in appointing Off
GERS Of volunteers for this service has
been liberal toward the democrats.
This is seen in the Missouri appoint
ments.

Thinks Rates VIII Go Lower

Topeka, Kan, July l7.-State Insur-

pleted his biennial report and sent it
to the printer for publication In his
letter of transmittal to the governor
the superintendent calls attention to
his successful efforts in getting re-
duction of rates on fire insurance,
whereby the farmers of Kansas save
100000 annually. He also speaks Of
the large number of companies seeking
business in Kansas and predicts that
rates will go still lower on account Of
the strong competition.
