from the republican side, The opposi- tion, however, do not desire to en- barrass the government and are willing to provide for temporary increase in the army of 50,00O men in accordance with the provisions of the substitute bill offered by the minority of the committee. Or they are willing to au- thoTize the continuance temporarily of the presenl war strength of the reg ular army, G2 900; anything, in fact, to prevent the creation of a permanent increase. In this they have the sym pathy Of many of the republicans. The fate of the bill is in grave doubt
 Statements made Cn the floor of the senate to the effect that it was not the intention of the government to hold the Philippines permanently, although their authoritative character was de- nied, have placed weapon in the hands of the opponents of the measure who will use the statement that there is doubt as to the future Of the Philip pinesy as a strong argument against a permanent increase in the regular army. The bill may not be completed this week, as the order permits it's consideration to be interrupted by the appropriation bills and conference re- ports. One of these. the military acad- emy, is on the calendar. The river and harbor bill will be reported tomorrow and the naval bill probably before the end Of the week.

HARCoURTs SUCCESSOR.
H. ampbell-Bannerman Has the Ad-
 vantage of Precedents.

London, Jan. 23.-The countrys strongest opinions as to the procedure in the election of Sir William liar courts successor have agreed to follow the precedent Cf 1875, when Lord Hart ington, now the duke of Devonshire was unanimously elected to replace Gladstone to lead the opposition in the house of commons during Gladstone's temporary retirement There was then a considerable number of the party in favor of MT. w. B. Forster, who, how eveT for the sake of harmony with drew before the meeting in favor of Lord Harrington. | will be the same now; no doubt other candidates will withdraw in favor of H. Campbell-Ban- herman as the most unifying factor in the situation. Some liberals outside of parliament are strongly fayoring MT. Herbert Asquith. Others prefer Sir Edward Grey, but the election lies solely with the liberal cOmmOners, where Campbsl-Bannerma has no enemies. Another prtcedent is that the ex-ministers dine before the open ing of parliament, fo~ the purpose of discussing thsi~ policy, as guests of the 9x-minister who has longest held a cabinet rank. This again is Campbell Zimmerman.

THE ROPE HOUSE BURNED.
A Fire at the Anaconda Mine This
Morning.

A Fire at the Anaconda Mine This
Morning.
The city was greatly alarmed this
morning about 1:45 o'clock by a fire
which broke out in the rope house of
the Anaconda mine. The oils in the
building created blaze which caused
those who saw it to believe it was the
hoist on fire, and deep apprehension
was felt till it became known the fire
was only in the rope house and time
keepers office and would be confined
to the outbuildings.
The fire was admirably handled by
the company's chief, George Lapp, and
Superintendent Jack O'Neil Had it
not been it would doubtless have proven
disastrous, as it burned fiercely for half
or three-quarters of an hour and would
have communicated to the boiler rooms
and hoist.
The fire created hardly a ripple at
the mine. however, and only few men
were taken from the upper levels to
fight it. The fire is supposed to have
been started by some one smoking. BY
3 O'Clock it was entirely subdued. The
damage is not very great.

Race Track ard
Stable Gossip,,

Starter Ferguson, who Welded the
flag on the race tracks ri Butte and
Anaconda for two seasons and who.
during. his last days on the Anaconda
track last fall, made someshorrible bad
breaks. has been giving the Frisco
track patrons pain of late. Indeed,
they are having a. lot Of trouble with
their starters in San Francisco Fer
guson is being Kissed for bad work,
and there is rumor that Caldwell is
to be succeeded at Ingleside by W. F.
Bruen.
Ferguson must have been reminded
of the Anaconda horror the other day
when an Oakland crowd Kissed him
into a state of AFFECT fear and silent
repose. When an Oakland crowd takes
to the hiss as method of conveying
displeasure it is ominous, and 1t broke
"Fergy' all up.
Report has it. that it all came about
over the use Of the recall flag. Fer
guson has been starting on the old
plan at Frisco for number of sea-
sons; indeed his work has been al
most confined to Western towns. OF
course, there have been occasional
grumbings, as there will always be
dared to kick at some of DavyS O'Con-
nor's starts in Butte and Anaconda,
but now that Dave is secretary of the
senate he will never asafn be called
upon to ward off kicks. Ferguson. the
critics say, got along fairly wen until
he began e monkey with appliances.
He went astray on the gate just as
others have done, and got jumped upon
for his pains. This season in Frisco
probably by order of the Jockey club,
he has taken up the recall flag, and
since then he has been dropping out
of favor with the crowd. One San
Francisco paper goes SO far as to hint
at fraud in one race.
THAT hurt Ferguson to his hearts
depth, said critic, "for no man ever
had the vanity of trade upon him
quite as strong as Ferguson. A bad
start is nightmare to him and he
mourns over a real mistake for days
after. I verify believe that if Fergu-.
son We're offered a big sum to juggle
a start he would refuse 1t, 'even though
he were dishonest enough to take the
money. His vanity wouldn't permit
him to do it,
1t might have been well for the above
critic to add to this bouquet that when
ever Ferguson does make a bad start
he will not admit it.
Caldwell at Ingleside is doing, If the
Frisco critics know their minds, the
very worst work of his life, giving one
ragged start after another until, the
public have ceased to look for anything
like a good send-off for field A Gu
rious reason is assigned for Caldwells
falling off. He and his wife were Iiv-
ing at the Baldwin hotel when fire
swept the old wooden pile out Of exist
ence. John Carter lost his life, and
Caldwell came precious near it. AS it
was, he and his wife escaped, leaving
behind them $4,000 worth of Mrs. Cald-
wells jewelry. Since that time Cald-
well has ben on the verge of nervous
prostration. t
! 1t is hard to imagine Caldwell ner-
vous about anything, but it is fact
that the fire took it all out of him and
he is a wreck. Hence his bad work at
the postsi ands henea thes runner that
Bruen, the man who made lit with
the flag at Hawthorne last season, may
take. up the bunting at Ingleside and
wave it for the remainder of the win
ter.

BY this time Miss Maine was half in
a trance. Pulling herself together she
said in a whisper:
Father. What on earth are you try
ing to do? Now, do quit, please, there
might be somebody here who knows
u.s. It's almost sure there is a friend
Of ours here somewhere"
That's all right said the colonel,
quite in his usual tone. Don't wor-

here in few hours, and then you can
feel at your ease"

and you know 1t. Now, If this doesn't
stop right here I'll get up and
Don't be worried" said the colonel;

After that, however, the colonel did

enough. The colonel's daughter, when
she finally mustered up courage to
look around, saw that she and the coll
onel were the center Of observation
and she could even catch the tenor of
two or three references to them from
the tables nearby. The waiter persisted
in calling the colonel governor" and
tall man who passed by on the way
out said to his companion in a tone
loud enough to be hear:
. I'm not sure, but I think that's Gov
ernor Blank of Texas. Fine looking
man, isn't he?" 4
When the colonel and his daughter
were about to leave the hotel, young
man who said he was a reporter begged
the colonePs pardon and suggested that
the reading public would be glad to
hear something from Governor Blank
on expansion or other political topics"

Colonel Maine, who isn't colonel at

other way, a retired merchant now liv-
ing in Brooklyn, told his daughter that
he was going to take her to Lake
wood to spend the holidays. That was
two weeks before Christmas. On the
Friday before Christmas the colonel
changed his mind.
I'VE shan't go to Lakewood" he said.
Il have seen all the country people
and country scenes that 1 care to see
for several months. But I'll give you
just as good time somewhere else"
That settled it. The colonel was mys-
FERROUS as to his Intentions, but there
there was nothing uncommon in that.
On Christmas eve he told his daughter
to dress up about as well as she knew
how" and about o'clock in the even
ing they started out.
Now" said the colonel, as the two
were landed at the entrance of one Of
the big hotels in Manhattan borough,

his full height and put on a big front

HAD A CLASH IN COURT
Bachelor Opposes the Re- Arrest
of His Client.
CUTTING ARRAY TRIAL
Jacob MAXI and Janexsela Were Accused
of Assaulting Con Maxi With q N
Deadly Weapon Other
Cases Heard.

There was a spirited clash between
before Justice Harrington yesterday af-
ternoon and for moment it looked as
thought Attorney j. C. Bachelor who
appeared for the defendant in the case
would be placed under arrest for at
tempting to interfere in the re-arrest of
his client which had been ordered by
the county attorney.
1t was in the case in which Jacob
Maxi and Jacob Janeksela are accused
OF assaulting one Con MAXI with a
deadly weapon. On the end of last
month, a cutting ARRAY occurred in
an East Park street saloon in which
Con Maxi was so seriously stabbed
that for a time it was feared his in
jury would prove fatal. The injured
man accused a namesake but not a
relative, Jacob Maxi, and Jacob Janek-
ella of being guilty of the assault and
they were arrested and held for second
degree assault On the date set for the
hearing, Con Maxi was not sufficiently
recovered to be able to appear in court
and continuance was granted. On the
tanned and on the presentation of
doctors certificate that the prosecut-
ing witness was still unable to appear,
another continuance to yesterday af-
ternoon at 2 O'clock was ordered.
When the hoursfor the hearing came
around yesterday afternoon, the de-
PENDANTS were in court accompanied by
Attorney j. G. Bachelor as counsel ard
after waiting an hour fora representa-
tive of the county attorneys office,
Attorney Bachelor asked for diemissal.
Just then County Attorney Connolly
appeared and explained that Deputy
Stivers who had charge of the case,
had been unavoidably detained. Hear
ing Attorney Bachelors motion for Ills
missal. Mr.. Connolly make a formal
objection and asked for continuance
as the prosecuting witness was not in
court, but stated he merely made the
objection and asked for continuance
as a matter of form as it would suit
him just as well to have a dismissal
entered as he could re-arrest the de-
PENDANTS and prefer another charge,
which. as matter of fact, he believed
he would prefer as he had some doubt
about the bond of Maxi, one of the de-
PENDANTS who had been admitted to
bail
The dismissal was ordered and MIR.
Connolly directed Constable Harring-
ton to re-arrest both men.
You'll not do it without a warrant"
remarked Attorney Bachelor as Mr..
Conolly sat down to write out another,
complaint and a warrant.
Constable Harrington took a position
in front of the prisoners and as he did
so, Mr.. Bachelor said to his clients,
''boys, you are free, come on" and
