AlphOnSO Burt Committed Sui
eide This Morning.
HE HAD BEEN DRINKING
Swallowed Enough Morphine to Kill
Half a Dozen or Mere
Men.
HE HAD BEEN DRINKING

Alphonso Burt, a bartender employed
at the NJ. & NJ, saloon swallowed enough
morphine this morning to kill half a doz-
EN- men and died about noon. The young
man had been on a protracted spree,
during which he had borrowed money
from all his friends and acquaintance,
and with dawning sobriety came re-
morse which prompted the rash deed.
Burt worked on the night shift and
lodged in room No. 8, of the Manhattan,
a lodging house on Upper Main street. A
young man named j. Hines occupied the
room with him. Last night Burt was
about town in company with A. NJ. Gill
bert. The two drank occasionally and
Gilbert says Burt was in excellent spir-
it's. About 10 o'clock this morning, Burt
concluded he would go to bed and bid
ding his companion good morning went
to his room and to bed. About II O'Clock
Hines arose and noticing Burt's labored
breathing attempted to arouse him. He
could not do so, and becoming alarmed
sent out for Drs. Dogge and Loebinger,
who worked with Burt for some time
| but he had taken such a large dose that
they could do nothing for him..
On the dresser was found a two ounce
OoIllc With Il DII5Il nSW idOIC ~ lhS
seal freshly broken. The bottle contain
ed a small quantity Of morphine.
Mrs. G. Rolfe, the l~andladyof the Man
haitian, says urt had roomed in hel
house nearly a year, and except during
the past few days had been a mode.
Young nan in every respect.
Burt was about 50 years Of age. His
father is a bishop Of the Mormon church
at Brigham, Utah, and is fairly Well-to,
do. A message was sent to him this af-
ernoon in regard to the disposition q
the remains.
Coroner Phil Julien was notified Of The
suicide and caused the remains to be re
moved to Sherman's undertaking rooms
! where an inquest will be held.

HEPBURN ON THE CANAL
THE IOWA CONGRESSMAN is IN
FAVOR OF THE ONE THROUGH
NICARAGUA OTHER LEG
ISLATION.

New York, Nov. ia special TO the
Tribune from Washington says: Repre-
sentative w. p. Hepburn of Iowa has
just returned TO Washington. Mr.. Hep
burn was chairman in the last house of
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce-the that has
oh arge of the Nicaragua canal, quaran-
tine and railway anti-scalping and pool
ing legislation. He said in an interview:
Il shall introduce a Nicaraguan canal
bill on the first day of the session and
will push it to action. The opponents of
the canal gained something in the way
Of postponement when they succeeded
in interpolating in the last river and
harbor bill q provision for a new com
mission to investigate all the proposed
routes acrns sthe sthmus. The Nicara-
qua route had been recently Investigate
ed by a careful commission, which had
made most elaborate surveys N had
submitted a most satisfactory report,
but by contending that the Panama
! route had been neglected the postpone
ment of the whole matter was secured.
The new report informs us that the COM
| mittee will not be able to report at this
| session. The friends Of Panama will, of
| course, throw all possible obstacles in
| the wav of the United States building
the Nicaragua canal as the construction
of one canal will preclude the building
of Others. The Panama company say
that 500. 900, 600 will be required to finish
their canal, 1t is certain INA tHpv can
never raise any considerable part OF this
sum If it is known that the United States
government Intends to build the Nicara-
guar canal. Other companies, such as
the Maritime Canal company, the Crag-
in-Erie syndicate and another whose
name | forget, but which operated a
steamship and railway line across the
+ isthmus in the fifties. also claim inter-
ests. Cragin people claim that they hold
a right to a concession that took effect
on Oct. 10, when the Maritime company's
! rights expired. Just what value this
alleged concession has / am not prepared
to say. For my part. I do not think
the United States need bother about any
of these concessions. | have no doubt
that Costa Rica and Nicaragua will be
glad to give the United States any terri
tory and any rights it may need to prose
cute and complete the canal. The cana
question is of overwhelming importance
in the development of both countries
and they are anxious to have it built,
There is no doubt that the house would
have acted at the last session If 1t could
have come to a vote and there is nc
doubt that both branches of congress
favor the. enterprise. How much the OBJ
position can delay matters cannot
say"
care you in favor Of the proposed new
demand Of commerce"

"A YOUNG SOLDIERS DEATH.
JAMES A BROWNING OF co. L DIED
in BUTTE TODAY.

The announcement of the death Of
James A. Browning of Co. l., which
occurred this morning will be received
of the Montana regiment, with whom
numerous friends in this city and Hell
ena.
The deceased was only p years Of age.
At the outbreak Of the war he enlisted in
Company l., Helena, being then cOnsid-
erably under age. He accompanied the
regiment to the Philippines and parti-
cipated in all but one Of the engagements
between the insurgents and Montana
boys. He returned home with the reg
iment. A few days ago he was taken
i'll Of typhoid-pneumonia. His condition
became SO serious that his mother was
telegraphed for and yesterday she ar
rived from Ogden and was at his bed
side when he died.
The young man displayed great grit
in his final struggles with death. He
was told that the doctors had given up
all hope of his recovery, but he assured
his father that he would pull through,
He was a quiet, unassuming young man
and a great favorite With his comrades
He had all the qualities Of a good sol
dier and was comDlimented by his su.
perior officer for his bravery in action.
The body will be taken TO Ogden, hi:
old hime, tomorrow afternoon. 1t il
likely that the members of the Montana
regiment in Butte will Il out as {
guard of honor to escort the remains K
the depot. The body is at Richards
undertaking looms.

last session. A number Of men We're
heard on II and l hope they VIII renew
their efforts at the coming session, but
| am not prepared to say how the matter
is regarded by the committee"
Are you in favor OF an extension of
the quarantine laws?'
~ am, but there is a great diversity
OF opinion in the committee on this
point. Tn southern members generally
are willing that the government should
pay the money for a national SYSTEM,
but they want to select the men to
spend it.. The large cities also object.
Som of them collect large sums of
money for the inspection of vessels ard
spend 1t in salaries much larger than
the United States government pays.
New York. for instance, collects some
100000 or $4,000 annually and pays it's
health officers $12, 900 d year. In my
judgment all this work should be done
by the United States government alone,
but as long as the states. fearing inva-
sion of their rights by the government.
unite with the large cities, j. is not like
ly that any efficient law will be enact
"What do you think of the Philippine
situation""
II think that congress should take no
action at present and that the president
should continue to control the islands
by military law. Our original colonist
were men far superior to the Filipinos.
they were skilled and trained in self
government and vet it took them four
teen years and much trouble before they
could work out a constitution and a
government. Yet the Filipinos want to
accomplish all this in fourteen months.
No, no. They should wait and congress
should wait until we all know each other
better. 1--WE do not know enough about
the islands yet to act wisely regarding
them. Meanwhile they should have as
liberal a government as possible"
How about currency legislation"
I'm Iowa we fought that last cam
paign on the gold standard and the re-
suit was a majority greater by 1900
than the state ever gave in all it's pre-
vious history. Yes, I am in favor of ac-
ton"
what railway legislation dc you rec.
ommend?"
1.-THE house has three times passed the
anti-scalping law n the senate has
killed it. Now. I think we had better
wait for a while and see whether tht
senate will pass any such legislation. T
1t will, the house vii speedily follow
suit, I am sure"

FROM CAPE NOME.
IEE LITTLE HAS MADE A STAKE IN
THAT COUNTRY.

Lee Little, a brother of Charles Little
of this city, Who went to the Alaskan gold
fields about two years ago, will arrive
in Butte within a few days with a sack
of gold as a result OF his efforts in the
Cape Noma disgings. He is credited
with having arrived in San Francisco
with So 900 in dust.
M. Little had the usual varying luck
of the prospector. In the Kiondike he
found everything good taken and after
an unsuccessful season around Dawson
city. he went to Cape Nome. In a con-
yersation with a Butte man at San Fran
cisco recently he said that the gold
wealth of the Cape Nome diggings had
not been exaggerated and was great deal
better than represented. All the creeks
as well as the sea beach, contain more
or less gold in paying quantities. A
strange feature of the deposits is that
, nobody can account for the presence Of
! the gold on the beaches and even the
biologists and scientists are puzzled, the
theory that it had been washed up by
| the sea being held u~ntenable.
Mr.. Little says that there will be a big
rush to the diggings next spring and
+, there may possibly be some restitution
| owing to the lack of accommodations.
| Al present there is a great deal of sick
ness there. Building material is scarce
, and there will very likely be some suf-
fering this winter on this account
