SOME INTERESTING REMARKS.

back during the past four or five years and
note that in this period inON, COPPER,

Iron that sold at $500 % ton has since
sold at s37j0 copper that in 1886 was around
g cents per pound has recently sold at 20 cents;
wheat in Chicago declined . cents per
bushel and within t"o years from that time
sold ut S1Sj per bushel; Corn sold as low az
u cents per bushel and later at 80 cents; in the
New York Cotton market tho future options Of
this staple within the past year sold as low as
cents and under, and at this writing have
sustained an advance Of only p cents per
pound IRON nearly tlpled in price, as did
Copper, while Wheat increased n value four
times, and Corn doubled"
1T seems extremely logical to expect at
least that Cotton, our greatest staple product
viii sell at its average price for the past ten
years, or about 81 cents per pound; moreover
it is likely this price will be made during the
current otton year, especially in view of the
established certainty that this seasons yield IS
very short, and the equally certain fact that
never in the history of the world has the con.
sumptiye demand attained within 80 per cent

IN A SMASHUP.
TWO BUTTE MEN KNOW WHAT A
TRAIN WRECK is.

John w. Jaquette, cutter at Henry 10
mas tailor shop, and Charles Foye OF
the Connel store returned a few days ago
from Colorado, where they spent their
summer vacation. Outside of a few little
incidents the trip was made without a
hitch, W. the occasion on which they
hitched two horses to a light rig and
drove into the country from a convenient
railroad station IN the line of march. One
of the little Incidents of the Pilgrim
age was the wreck of the train on which
they We're returning to Butte. 1t took
place about 8 o'clock at night on the
Denver & Rio Grande road. 1t had been
raining heavily and the ground on the
hillsides was so soft and treacherOus that
a slide at one point covered the track to
a depth Of several feet. Having come
down only a few minute before train
time, it was not discovered until too late
to prevent the train from dashing into
it at full speed. The locomotive and sew
eral cars were overturned and smashed,
but, strange as it may seem. no passer-
gers were hurt. The engineer and fire.
man, however, We're badly injured. the
former being found under the mail ear.
He was conscious, and his first words
were of inquiry as to the safety OF the
passengers. Then he asked that his wife
be not notified of what had happened.
Messrs. Jaquette and Foye were some
what shaken by the accident, but other
wise felt no Evil effects of the disaster.

census of opinion was that the deceased
while intoxicated had fallen into the wa
ter, the fall rendering him unconscious

he was drowned.

feet that the deceased came to his death
by accidental drowning.

HAVANA, March 15.-11 a. m.-The
action Of Civil Governor Mora and the
police department in attempting to pre-
vent the popular manifestations in favor
of General Maxine Gomez is strongly
censured, and the i'll feeling against
the police runs high, The people con:
slider that their rights and freedom have
been attacked and the action of Cover
nor General Brooke in restraining the
Cuban authorities from interfering has
pleased the people and is favorably
commented upon.
1t is rumo1sd that several officials of
the police force who were formerly in
the Cuban army will resign. The oc-
currence has done much to destroy the
popularity and efficiency of the new po.
lice force.

and loyalty to him, and to Cuba. Gen.
