Detroit Free Press: This fair maid will
have a handsome dot some time, and it is
the ambition of her father to have her
marry one whose fortune will at least
equal her own.
Il want you to stop that young Blank
calling here he remarked recently, in the
autocratc way that some fathers have.
He has no prospects worth speaking or,
there is nothing to show that he has any
business ability, and l don't want him
hanging around here any more
What is business ability, papa?
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, or
course Let me see. Why, it's the ability
to see the main chance, to grab it ana
hang on till you get the money. That's
what it is, and there's plenty OF young
men in Detroit that have it. Blank lacks
it wofully."
'Oh, he does? I'm afraid, papa, that
you're speaking without proper informa-
ton. He knows that I'll have $1OO,O0C
some time. That is a main chance worth
| looking after. Mr. Blank saw it. He
| reached out and grabbed for it. He's
| hanging on, and he's going, to get 1t. Dt
you happen to know of any other young
| man of his age and limited opportunities
whose business ability has assured him
so handsome fortune?'
| The old gentleman'S answer soundeC
| suspiciously like smothered profanity
and it was fully five minutes before the
bewitchng creature could bring the sun
| shine of a smile to his face. Now he tell:
| a few confidential friends that young
| Blank has the making of one of the bes
| business men in the city.

Attempt to Destroy a Wyoming
Street Lodging House
BUT LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
Kindlings aud Coal Oil Nicely Arrang-
ed in the Attic--POlice Will
Investigate 1t.

Incendiaries made a we'll planned at
tempt today to destroy two-story lodg-
ing house, Nos 9O2 and 9O4, South Wyom-
ing street, and would have succeeded but
for the prompt and vigorous work of the
Butte fire department. The building is
owned by the State Savings bank, and
both floors are rented to a Mrs. Reed.
The flames We're discovered by neighbors
and an alarm was turned in from box No.
%. When the department arrived the roof
! OF the structure, which is a brick, was
partially consumed. A few moments
work sufficed to put out the fire, and on
investigating the cause, the firemen dis
! covered in the attic an arrangement Of
combustibles that told the story of the
| firebugs' design. On the floor of the at
! tic, placed in semi-circle, were num-
Der OF newspapers, and at regular inter-
walls in this combustible stuff were found
three large coal oil cans, partially filled
with kerosene and shaved kindlings The
cans were cut open in such manner
that the blaze from the papers could
easily reach the oil and shavings
Mrs. Reed, the landlady of the place
was absent when the alarm was turned
in and had not returned when the firemen
| had completed their work. A number OF
the dodgers were in the house, including
several children.
The damage to the property is yer,
slight, being confined to the roof and at
tic, and will probably not exceed 500
This is covered by insurance.
The matter has been referred to the DO
lice and the city detectives will make ar
effort to ferret out those implicated r
this dastardly attempt to destroy prop
erty.
The department was called out earlier
in the day, about II o'clock to the resi-
dence of James Forbis, the attorney, No
3O7 West Park street. The alarm wa
turned in from box No. g. and was oc
casioned by the burning out of a chimney
) No damage was done to the property.

Dave McCoT mick, a well known car
penter around Butte, was found dead in
bed in Room s of the Exchange hotel at

AROUND CLANCY,

The strike made by Peterson and
others, west of the Mocking Bird mine,
in Warm Springs district, is reported to
be improving with depth. The shaft is
now down about 20 feet and the showing
in the bottom is said to be fine, says the
Clancy Miner.
Orders were issued this week for the
Copper Jack to close down. We have
been unable to interview the superin-
tendent Mr.. Miller, and are therefore
una BILE to say what the future intentions
of the company are in respect to work
ing the property
A strike is reported as having been
made by leasers in an old prospect tunnel
east of the shaft on the B. & G.. mine
and the showing is said to be as good
as anything heretofore uncovered in the
mine. 1t seems almost impossible to sink
a hole anywhere on the B. & G. without
finding ore.

"The Beautiful" Causes Trouble
For Butte Roads.
TRACKS ARE NOW CLEAR
Assistant superintendent of the Mon
tana Division of the Short Line
Talks About Equipment.

The cold wave and snow that came sud-
denly Yesterday, caused some trouble for
the railroad lines centerng in Butte. The
Great Northern passenger tram, Whlch
should have come in at 1890 o'clock last
night pulled in at the depot at 9:2O o'clock
this morning, after a twelve-hour So
iourn in a snow bank. This morning s
Short Line passenger was two hours late
and today's Northern Pacific is bulle-
tined as three hours behind time. But
the tracks are clear and the trouble over,
at least until the coming of another
heavy fall of snow
The Great Northern trouble was en-
countered on Boulder hill between this
city and Helena. There the snow banked
high and for several hours resisted the
efforts of two snow phoWS, one of WhlcE
was sent from Helena and the othel
from Butte. The Northern Pacific has
encountered some snow in eastern Mon
tana, but the principal difficulty of thl:
: road and also of the Short Line was II
! the matter of keeping up steam, the in
tense cold severely taxing the coal sup
ply.

In the United States supreme court re-
Gently a decision was handed down by

The railroad company cOntended that
the statute was antagonistic to the led

court held this contention TO he un-
founded. saying that the question IN

had right to legislate to that end.
The judgment of the supreme court or
Ohio was. therefore. affirmed. justices

Justice White based his dissent upon the
ground of discrimination against through

WILL RETAIN OTIS.
The President Is Said to BE Deter.
mined on This Point.

NEW YORK, July GA special to the
Herald from Washington says: The Pres
ident has no intention of relieving General
Otis from the military command in the
Philippines. He had seriously thought at
one time of assigning an officer Of high
rank to command the forces In the field,
leaving General Otis to perform the adj
ministrative duties of general. The Pres
ident had two propositions before him-one
to make Lawton the commanding officer of
the fighting forces, and the other to send
Merritt back to his old place. This latter
assignment would be the subordination Of
General Otis governor general to Gen.
eral Merritt, who outranks him by regular
as we'll as volunteer title. Both these ideas
have now been abandoned. Speaking for
the President, Cabinet officer said:
Why should General Otis be relieved. I'M
less he had some reason for asking to be
sent back TO the United States? The Pres
ident has had no reason to find fault with
his work 1t is true he has not ended the
war. but he has certainly made much prog
ress and has shown himself equal to every
emergency. He has certainly taken good
care OF the troops, and by the manner In
which he has provided for his army has
shown himself capable of handling large
bodies Of men. He has made known his
general plans of operations when the cam
paign begins in the fall. and the experts
here, together with the President, consider
that he has a thorough and practical pro-
gramme mapped out for his future work.
To remove him now would be an admission
that he had failed. We cannot admit this,
for certainly the official dispatches from the
Philippines show a material extension OF
our line far beyond the points controlled by
Spain. To place a new commander in con-
troll OF the troops and make him independ-
emit OF General Otis would cause no end OF
friction. There can be but one trusted with
plenary powers. and / can repeat that the
President is well satisfied TO intrust Gen.
eral Otis with those powers"
Notwithstanding this administrative view
favorable TO General Otis, 1t can be stated
that some officials here have private infor-
nation which tends to confirm the press re-
ports Of the unpopularity of General Otis
with many officers OF his command One
official showed me letter to-day indicating
a decided lack or harmony between General
Otis and the division commanders. One OF
the principal differences OF opinion related
10 the number o. men required TO subdue
the rebellion Most OF the division com.
manders thought there ought to be more
troops than the $1,000 called for by General

There seems to be no end of the war in

thus adding to our difficulties. For some
reason which the censor would not explain,
General Otis refused to allow us to send
the death of the Monadnock's captain (Nich
ols) for two days after its occurrence. The
general also refused 10 let us send news of
the disappearance of Captain Rockefeller

his family, or the killing Of Captain lilly.
of the signal corps, until the next day. The
correspondents are all very tired OF this
arrangement, which simply means that they
must go out and run large chances Of get
ting shot several times a week, with no
chance of making regulations. because their
stories must always reflect Otis's views.
ut is impossible to write the truth about
the situation The resources and fighting
qualities of the natives are quite misunder-
stood by the American papers and We cam
not write the facts without being accused
of treason; nor can We tell of the practi
cally unanimous opposition to and dislike
OF the war among the American troops. The
volunteers. or at least a portion of them,
were at one time on the verge Of mutiny,
and unless General Otis had begun sending
them homewards there would have been
sensational developments.

affirm that it will not be without discus
sion. Industrial and agricultural associa-

agitated, and manifold protests are being
made, and when the Chamber reassembles
the government will find itself face to face
with an opposition formidably equipped
with arguments, and which will energetic
ally lay bare the fatal consequences Of the
convention which so cruelty betrays French
interests
