GOSSIP OF THE R E

Inc following interesting gossip is
from the Boston News Bureau Of June /:
The sharp decline in copper shares this
week, especially in Anaconda, Boston &.
Montana and Butte & Boston, is to the
advantage Of the Amalgamated Copper
company, which is sooner or later to alb
sorb the Boston & Montana and the
Butte & Boston, and has been of late a
buyer OF Anaconda at the decline. In
fact, the policy Of the Amalgamated
company is to buy the stocks Of The
Montana companies as they decline. The
total amount Of Amalgamated which
must be used to AXE up the outstand-
ing shares Of Anaconda, Parrot, etc., is
thus reduced in amount.
Mr.. Heinze, with his fifty lawsuits
against Butte & Boston and Boston &
Montana, has held up for months the
Amalgamated flotation and forced it's
issue to he public before the Butte &
Boston and Boston & Montana could be
embraced in the combination. Mr.. Heinze
is now in New York treating with Mr..
Rogers, and it is possible that a settle
ment may be effected of the whole of
the Montana business. Mr.. Heinze is
now the key to A~malgamated, as ANAL
ga1mated is the key to the stock market,
Mr.. Helnze has been offered, it is I'M
derstood, some millions in cash for his
smelter and mines and an opportunity
in the stock market. His friends and
legal advisers We're caught short of Bos-
ton & Montana at 1928. Mr.. Rogers
bought the stock and sharply advanced
the price upon them. Mr.. Rogers now
offers Mr.. Heinze an opportunity to get
the rest of the millions he thinks he
ought to get for his property out of the
stock market.
There is at present no agreement as to
the price at which Butte & Boston or
Boston & Montana will be taken into the
Amalgamated Copper but they
have a relative value.
The interest Of Ex-Governor Flower in
the Amalgamated Copper was
just 100 shares.

This was a blue day indeed in the cop
per shares market. Another bear raid
was inaugurated this morning on the
Boston Stock Exchange and in the de-
cline, as usual, the high priced coppers
suffered most. In fact the shares of
some of the properties of unquestioned
merit went ridiculously low. Butte
spectators are anxiously awaiting the
rally which should surely follow the
present low prices
Boston & Montana opened at $34O, the
closing quotation of Saturday, but i'm
mediately dropped to 1926, recovering
later to $3.50, the closing quotation. Butte
& Boston also dropped a few notches,
closing at SIS, with apparently very little
trading
Parrot receded from $57 at the opening
to 900, the closing quotation. Utah Con
also dropped from $40 to $751;.
Other quotations were: Anaconda.

BREAK IN ~AMALGAMATED.

A New York dispatch says: The drop
in Amalgamated Copper stock which was
the feature of the trading in outside
securities yesterday, was particularly APP
propriate at this time, when the general
railway list is on the dow grade. Many
shrewd observers in Wall street contend
that the formation of the Amalgamated
Copper company was the red flag which
warned conservative investors n
spectators away from the security
market. That a blind pool calling for a
capital of $4,000, 900 should be oversub-
scrlbed five times was an indication to
the better element of spectators that
the public lost it's head and a crash would
not be far distant.
One of the worst features of the whole
case was that the National City Bank,
which is the largest institution of it's
in this country should have stood
sponsor for such a transaction.
one cause for the break in Amalga
mated Copper was the rumor, which APP
parently came from good sources, that
the capital stock of the was to
be increased for the purpose of acquiring
the Boston & Montana and the Butte &,
Boston copper mining properties. 1t is
understood that the present capital of
40, was nearly absorbed in the
purchase of the holdings of Anaconda
"NNt AIN lLS company IOW
mas, the Parrot property and other less
important concerns.
1t was evident that the Standard Oil
clique, which has heretofore held up the
price of Amalgamated Copper by bidding
Tor IT IN large blocks at par and offering
II at l0o1s, had at least temporarily with
drawn the peg" At the close the best
oHer for the stock was 80, while holders
were willing to sell small blocks at 94h.

The Wheels of the Twine Plant
Ready to Turn.
Machinery All Set In Place at
Lansing Prison.
BUILDINGS READY.
Hutchinson Man Will Ship
Horses to Mexico.
To Send by Express at Cost of
$50 Per Head.

Leavenworth. Oct. 24.-The machin-
cry for the twine plant in the state
penitentiary has all been set in place
and in few more weeks Warden Tom
hnson will be ready to start the wheels
of the big concern, that is to turn out
the twine to bind the Kansas crop of
wheat next year.
The large building at the east end
of the penitentiary enclosure has been
refitted throughout to receive the heavy
machinery that makes the twine. Two
long rooms, one on the ground floor
and one in the second story contain it.
On the lower floor are the breakers
the machines into which the raw fibre
as it comes from Manila, or Mexico, is
put. 1t is fed in a long string and after
passing through the giant jaw of the
breaker, is seized by a series of reVolV-
ing combs that Straighten out the tan
giles and leave the rough hbreS a homo
geneOus mass in which the fine hbres of
the material are all arranged length
wise. There are nine of these breakers
After it has gone through these ma
chimes the product is taken up stairs to
the spinning jennies, machines some
what like the breakers only smaller,
the combs having finer teeth. Here it
is fed in again.
The machines separate the mass au-
tomatically into strands, each one of
which when twisted is the size of the
through and being combed perfectly
smooth and straight, the now parallel
hbreS are caught on a contr1Vance that
revolves 1900 times a minute. The
finished twine comes out on the other
side where it wound on a bobbin. This
bObbin is then taken back down stairs
where the tWine is reeled off into balls
by the balling machine.
Every spinning jenny of which there
are fifty, and piece of machinery in the
building is operated by electricity. By
the side of the larger machines is
small motor. In some instances one
motor runs several machines.
The giant dynamo that furnishes
power to run the whole factory is sit
uated in the engine house. 1t stands
nearly twelve feet tall and is connected
directly with the fly wheel of the new
Ball engine. The dynamo will furnish
the machinery of the twine factory
will light the whole penitentiary.
The new brick building for storing
the twine and the raw material is
completed. 1t was built wholly OF
brick made at the prison. Everything
is now almost ready for the starting of
the plant except the material and
Warden Tomlinson Will probably leave
for the east next week where he will
go into the markets and purchase ma
terial. The sharp advance in the price
of manila and sisil fibre is a matter of
much Importance to the penitentiary
officials as such an advance was not
figured on when the money was apprO-
priated for the twine plant and not
more than half as much raw fibre can
be purchased as was intended.
Warden TOmlinSOn has drawn $780,
900 out of the state treasury for the
! revolving fund.- for the prison binding
plant. The money will be spent for
hemp. The state appropriated $150,0O0
for the revolving fund" and it will be
drawn out as it is needed.

occupied by the insurgents, who gain
thereby ar access of confidence.
It vas hoped that with the end of the
last campaign the old policy, which
had met with such general denuncia-
ton, was @ be abandoned; but it would
seem that General Otis is welded to
it and can not give it up. What he ex-
poets to accomplish by sending out
mere rafding expeditions is difficult to
comprehend. That might be a proper
policy for a weak enemy, but hardly so
for a strong nation that is aiming to
occupy and hold the country.
The people Of the United States are
at loss to know why President Mckin-
ley retains General Otis in command in
the Philippines. During his recent tour
Of the west his vast audiences enthusi-
astically cheered his declaration of a
purpose TO occupy and retain posses
sion of the islands. His declaration of
his general policy was entirely satisfac-
tory 1t is to be noted that he made
no allusion to General Otis and gave no
intimatiOn of his intention as regards
retaining him in command. Had he
done SO. he would have had an oppOr-
tunity of gauging Otis popularity, and
he would have found it decidedly below
par. But the people understood, from
his general declarations, that he was
going 10 pursue a policy Of occupation,
and they naturally inferred that the
practice of abandoning captured towns
woul he stopped If it isn't, there viii
be as much dissa tisfactiOn with the de-
tails Of the Philippine policy as there
is approval of its announced general

NEwsPAPER IGNORANCE.

Ottawa must be awarded the prize
for numbering among its citizens the
most wide-awake and up-to-date news
paper man in Kansas. He is on the
staff of the Herald, and last week wrote
the following:
"NIr. Horace J. Smith spent yester-
day in Topeka looking after arrange
ments to bring the boys OF company K
to Ottawa. George r. Peck, Of the
Santa Fe, was out of the city. but the
officials interviewed did not encourage
the idea of a special train The
suggestion of the Santa Fe was not in
tended as final. as Mr.. Peck will make
whatever arrangements are made"
Think of a Kansas newspaper man in
October, 1899, talking of George r. Peck
"of the Santa Fe," and announcing
that Mr.. Peck's return to Topeka would
have to be awaited before arrange
yaents for a Santa Fe special train
could be made. 1t is almost enough to
make the Kansas newspaper fratern-
fty blush

X. N. G. COMING.
Will Attend Reception and Be Fed
by Committee.

Brigadier General J. w. F. Hughes, of
the Kansas National Guard, and Cap
tain w. J. Deacon of Topeka, are max
ing the arrangements to entertain the
National Guard during the Twentieth
Kansas reception and the companies
that attend will be housed and fed in
the best manner possible.
The offices in the new court house
will be used for sleeping rooms. The
court rooms will be transformed into
dining halls The furnaces will be kept
going if the weather is cool and the
men will be perfectly comfortable. The
only requirement is that they bring
their own blankets. The court house
will easily accommodate 1000 men. The
two large court rooms will seat half
that number for meals.
General Hughes has issued a circular
letter to the captains of the companies
in the First regiment K. N. G.. explain
ing to them that the law does not al
low the governor to call them out, but
that all companies can attend on their
own responsibility. Several companies
have already announced that they will
come.
The letter has also been sent to Colo
mel Perry NJ. Hoisington, of Newton,
colonel of the Second regiment A rate
of one cent a mile has been made by
the railroads to Topeka for that date.
Arrangements will be made to give the
visiting companies five meals and lodg-
ing for two nights. Supper and lodg-
ing the night before the reception, three
meals the day of the reception, lodg-
ing that night and breakfast the next
morning, but those that come a meal
or so earlier and stay meal or so later
will receive them.
In the First regiment are companies
from Hiawatha, Yates Center, Manhat-
tan, Washington, Emporia, Cherryvale,
Ottawa, Garnett and other towns.
Colonel Wilder S. Metcalf, command
ing the Twentieth, is the colonel of this
regiment, and is on detached duty,
serving in the Philippines. Captain
Flanders, of the Twentieth. is lieuten-
ant colonel of the First regiment K. N.
G. The regiment will undoubtedly turn
out in splendid shape to welcome home
their two highest officers Of the regi-
ment who have fought in the Philip
pines.
There will be a battery battalion in
command of Major Harry L. Robinson.
This will be the first opportunity of see
ing national guard battery with full
equipment. Battery A of Wichita in
command of Captain Aspen will be
here, horses and all. Battery B of To-
peza in command of Captain Patterson
will make up the battalion. The Well
ington papers announce that company
B of the Second regiment will attend.
Reception committees will meet every
train and escort the companies to their
quarters. Colonel Hoisington will
probably be in command of the guard.

Men Will Work Nine Hours.

Commencing November 1, the work

will be reduced to nine hours a day. The
men now work ten hours, from z
o'clock in the morning until o'clock at
night. After the first Of the month the
work will cease at o'clock in the
evening.

There is plenty of both new work and
repair work to be done at the shops
here. A corresponding reduction in
time will be made at the Santa F'e
