SU-TAN's GIFT TO GES. BATES On
the second visit of Gen. Bates to the
Sultan OF Sulu, says a Manila letter, he
was accompanied by Major Charles
Mcclure and other officers, and by Mrs.
Lama Switchenberg and Miss MacDon-
aid Hartley, OF tne National White
Cross Society.
The natives were amazed at the sight
Of the American women, the first they
had ever seen, and one Of them offered
MISS Hartley some betelnut to chew.
The Sultana, mother Of the Sultan,
said she wished to present TO General
Bates something that would show her
regard for him, more perhaps than many
other things that might be OF greater
intrinsic value She would give him
something she hop d he would keep in
remembrance Of her, which always
should be with him.
The Sultana motioned, and one Of the
maids in waiting brought out bright
red PAIR Of skin tight moro breeches,
which looked a little shopworn, also a
small blue jacket embroidered with
green and yell-w flowers.
"Tness were made by my own hands
and in them is the sweat OF my second
husband, for whom l made them" said
the SuItana.
Gen Bates acceoted the red trousers
and the sweat OF the second husband
in few becoming words.
When a company OF the Twenty third
Infantry presented arms to the Sultan
he did not return the salute.
Lieut. Reeve grabbed the Sultan's
horse and shouted "Say. Sultan,
salute"
The Sultan opened his eyes in great
astonishmeut. Lieut. Reeve ierked the
bride impatie rty.
Salute, Sultan" he said again. The
Sultan sat on his horse and puffeG great
clouds OF black smoke at Reeve The
Lieutenant poked his finger at the royal
parsonage and raised his hand up and
down like pump handle.
The Sultan watched him curiously.
Then a soft smile broke over his face.
He grunted gently and then, with his
cigar held squarely in his teeth, waved
his fat hand towards his right ear. as It
to Aeck away a fly. He wagged his
hands back and forth. then gripped his
cigar again and blew another series OF
rings The show was over.

Can't. Leary, the naval governor OF the

Capt, Leary soon after arrival learned
that his authority as governor was being

reports that he was obliged to notify
half a dozen OF the friars that hey might

himself to be in the past a consistent
friend Of the Irish race and the cause Of
Ireland
II 1t will not encrOaCh too much upon
your valuable space l would like to
relate an incident that occurred in this
citv two years ago, OF viii h 7 can speak
from pers paI knowledge.
In February, 1898. the Hon John DAILY,
at present the honor-d and highly
respected mayor OF Limerick, Ireland,
came to this country on a lecturing tour,
under the auspices Of the United Irish
Societies Of the United States Mr.
DAILY had just been released from
British dungeon where he had been
incarcer ted for a oerIOd Of twelve ears,
and subjected 10 the most brutal and
inhuman treatment for no other offence
than having dared to ass IT his rights as
an Irishman and man on British soil.
The subject Of his lecture was
"Torture in English Prisons " and he
was sche duIei to appear al the National
Theatre on the evening OF February I5.
A few days prior to the date named
called upon Mr. Mclean with a request
that he preside at the DAILY meeting l
found him confaed to his house and
under his doctors care
"Mr. S'anion," he said to me, lit
would give me only 100 great pleasure
TO cele TO your request and preside

for yourself it will be impossible for me
so to do. My physician has forbidden

the Irish cause and would like to show

All Eyes upon the Republic and ITS
President,

| All FYes upon the Republic and Its
President,
From St. Petersburg and Vienna
to San Francisco, from the eastern
to the western boundaries Of civ.
ilization, the entire Caucasian race
is now echorng the appeal of the
great Peace Petition to President
Mckinley.
The comments Of the press and
OF the leaders of public opinion in
all languages upon the petition
and President McKinley's promise
to give it his "most earnest con
sideration" show that the articles
signed at the Peace Congress at
The Hague did indeed embodV the
strongest aspiration OF the human
race at the cad oil the nineteenth
century, and that public sentiment
everywhere is earnestly for giving
those articles full effect. IF the
Pope should carry out his inten.
ton ioreshadowed in his endorse
ment OF the petition and should IS
sue to the nations an impassoned
appeal for peace, lie would get a
response that would demonstrate
that civilized mankind and its gov
ernments are united as never be-
fore in adherence Of war, in devo-
ton to peace and peaceful methods
OF settling international disputes.
II is therefore no exageration to
assert that the eyes Of the world
are fixed appealingly upon Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t is for him to
say whether for The first time in
this century there shall be war
amjhg civilized peoples without
any friendly, disinterested effort for
peace. It's tor him to say VIII ether
the Chief Executive Of The nation
which led at the Peace Congress
shall be the first to discount its

whether at the close OF the nine

dition as old as its existence, as

Mines AND MINING

Mining Operations Around Clancy
"A Rich Strike Near
Neihart.
COMPANIES ALL SOIL

The demand for cope
which has been created by the recent
marvellous development of electric power
throughout the entire world has I'M
parted a stimulus to copper mining
operations in all parts of this country.
New copper mining companies are being
organized almost every week, nearly all
of them being floated in Boston, but a
gratifying feature is that each of them
starts with a capital of sufficient proper
tons to insure the most thorough and
extensive development work.
There are numerous factors just now
operating to the advantage of copper
mine owners and mining mel who have
given the matter attention do not hesl-
tate to predict a further sharp dvanc
in the price of copper. The worlds wish
Bile supply of copper is the smallest
known in years, while there is a con-
stantly widening demand for the metal.
The construction of electric street rail-
ways has only just begun while the cleo
trio power plants projected for Montana
and other western states during the
early part Of this year will consume en-
ormous quantities of the metal.
The situation abroad is, If anything,
more favorable than at home. The open
ing up Of the vast Chinese empire will
call for heavy supplies of copper for the
equipment of electric railway, telegraph
and telephone systems. The entrance OF
American capital into Porto Rico and
Cuba will also create an additional de-
mand for copper as these islands present
an especially favorable field for the in
PRODUCTION of electrical power.
1t is understood that the Anaconda and
Boston & Montana companies are sold
far ahead. The outlook for the future of
Butte certainly never locke more invit-
ing.

UNION NJ THEATER,
HANDS ACROSS THE SEA" BY THE
r. e. FRENCH THEATER CO.

Uncle Dick Sutton's cosey Family
theater was crowded yesterday afternoon
and last night to witness the production
of Sims & Pettits great melodrama of
Hands Across the Sea- by the X. E.
French Theater company. 1t was con-
coded to be the best dramatic company
that has appeared in this poular house.
The company is a strong one. X. e.
French, as the hero, Jack Dudley, looked
the manly part to perfection and is one
Of the best leading men seen here IN a
long time. c. A. Smiley, as the villain,
Wallace Hopper as Tom Bassett, X. Nc
Loud as Captain Sands, H. p. Wilson as
Richard Melford and Paul Bordman as
the Frenchman were all very good. Bios
som Bordman as Lillian MelfOrd was
charming, Mamie Holden was a cute lit
tie soubrette. Eva Eardl French as the
scheming French adventures was a fine
piece of character acting.
High class s%pecialties were introduced
by Paul Bordman, Mamie Holden, and
Josephine Strong, each receiving strong
encores. Special mention should be made
of the handsome ship scene in the 4th act,
being the best ever seen in the house. The
r. f. French Theater Co., will produce
Hands Aross the Sea- during the week,
including the Usual Saturday and Sun
day matinee.

THE YOUTHFUL BURGLARS.
THEY ARE ARRAIGNED BEF'ORE
JUSTICE HARRINGTON.

The five boys who robbed the store or
S. K. Brown at 70 West Park street on
the night of December "a, appeared be-
fore Justice T. p. Harrington this morn
ing to answer tota charge of burglary.
The boys range in age from u to Is years
and looked very much out of place In a
court of justice. The preliminary eXami-
nation was set for next Friday at 2 p. m.
and their bonds were fixed at 5000. Frank
Baum and Frank Gallagher were re-
leased on bonds and Dan Lewis, Eugene
Thornton and George Bath were COM
mitted to Jail pending the hearing.
Frank Baum belongs to a good family
and his mother is said to be worth many
thousand dollars. The lads disgrace is
said to be the result of evil associations
as he is not of a vicious nature n there
is no occasion for him to steal, as his
parents are able to give him all he wants
The extreme youth of the boys will prob
ably make it necessary to confne them
in the reform school, should they be
found guilty of the crime with which
they are charged.
