THE MINES ARE CLOSED.
Bear Gulch Boom Comes to a Sudden
Termination.

u
Termination.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Livingston, May 1.-THE Bear Gulch
boom came to d sudden halt to-day
Harry Bush returned from the East last
evening and on being told that his
claims in Bear Gulch had been jumped
he issued orders to discharge the men
employed at the mines and cease the
development work indefinitely. The
Bear Gulch Mining company, in which
Bush is interested, will follow suit and
no work will be done in Bear Gulch
until the litigation now on in the courts
of Park county is settled and the re-
spectiVe rights of the claimants of the
mining property determined. When
Harry Bush was seen by the Standard
representative this evening he said:
We are getting tired of the kind of
work that has been going on in Park
county and We have decided to sus-
pend all operations until the courts de-
eide what our rights are in the Bear
Gulch property. There will be no more
money paid out, and we have spent our
last dollar in Park county if men are
permitted to jump our claims with i'm
'punity. Why. the claims that have
been jumped during the last few days
have been owned and represented by
the man from whom we bought them
for the last 20 years. If this thing goes
on Park county will be the loser and
not u.s. for we will go somewhere else
Mr.. Bush showed the reporter tele-
grams from his partners in Bear Gulch
and from his superintendent there stat
ing that they agreed with him, in the
move he made in ordering the mines
closed. The object is to create public
sentiment favorable to the company.
and it appears that the action taken by
the mining company is having the de-
sired effect. Much bitter feeling is
shown by the expressions of business
men here tonight, who realize that the
Bear Gulch mines are of immense bene-
fit to the city of Livingston and to the

A BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN
Officers and Mon Proved Themselves
Good Soldiers in the Fighting
Around Malolos-New. York
Wants Dewey First.

Washington, May 11.-Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin to-day made public the re-
port of General Harrison Gray Otis,
commanding the first brigade, second
division, eighth army corps, giving the
details Of operations in the Philippines
from the 1st to the 31st of March, The
brigade participated in the movement
against Malolos, which occupied sew
eral days of. fighting. In concluding
the report General Otis says.
Thus, after an arduous and brilliant
campaign by the second division, sup
ported by other troops, lasting seven
days and involving frequent combats,
numerous casualties among our troops
and heavy losses by the enemy, Malo-
los, the recent capital of the so-called
Filipino revolutionary government, fell
before the American arms.
1T Is my grateful duty to commend
the officers and men on their bearing
throughout the campaign. They have
SHOWN in an eminent degree the quail
ties of good soldiers-obedience, discip-
line, endurance, courage, steadiness,
patriotism and the most magnificent
ardor in the battle.
THE regimental commanders, Colonel
harry Z. keSSler. 1st Montana infan-
try; Colonel Frederick Funston, Goth

Kobbe, commanding the two battalions
of the Sd United States artillery (serv-

their skill and gallantry under fire. I

1T is my grievous duty to report that
the casualties Of the brigade during the
seven days operation, particularly de-
scribed in this report, aggregate 1876 in
killed and wounded, thus swelling the

since the outbreak of the rebellion to

viii Be Sent by the Way of San Fran
cisco.
Washington, May 1.-THE war de-
partment will not send any more troops
to Manila by way of New York and the
Suez canal. All troops now under or
ders for Manila or to be ordered there
during the next few months will be
sent by the way of San Francisco 1t
is expected the Grant and Sherman,
now at San Francisco, and the Sheri-
dan, which will soon arrive there, will
carry all the troops that will be needed
in the Philippines. Nor Is it the inten-
tion at present to make the Logan,
Meade and Thomas part of the Pa
cif1c transport fleet. The ships will be
refitted as soon as they can be spared
from service in the West Indies. They
are owned by the government, and
with others will be converted into the
best army transports in accordance
with plans announced long ago, when
1t became apparent that army trans
ports would be needed for several years
to come. 1t is believed by the quarter
master department that four months
more will be required to put the ships
in f1rst-class condition. Secretary AL
ger says it will be quite three months
before the ships are ready for service,
and he does not intend to make any
order now respecting their movements
at that time, but added that no troops
would be either sent or returned to the
United States by way of the Suez canal

A COMPROMISE FRAMED.
The Confederates Will Care for the
Graves of Their Dead

Charleston, S. G., May 1.-THE COM
mlttee on resolutions of the Confeder-
ate veterans, to which was referred
General Lees resolution accepting
President Mckinley's proposal that the
FEDERAL government should make pro-
VISION for the care of the graves of the
confederate dead, spent several hours
discussing the matter to-day and late
tonight compromise resolution was
framed and will be offered as a substi-
tute tomorrow. The resolution is to
the effect that if the national govern
ment cares for the graves, the confed-
crates do not object to its taking
charge of those in the North and in the
nelghborhood of the old war prisons.
The resolution will state that the South
has voluntarily undertaken to decorate
and properly preserve the graves in
the South and the association does not
feel warranted in taking from them
what they have grown to regard as a
duty. In general the resolution is along
the lines of the speech made yesterday
by Mr.. Busby, who -~~nosed the SUBJ
stitute to the committee. The modi-
fed resolution has been submitted to
General Lee and he is understood to
have accepted it.
The sub committee will report to the
full committee tomorrow morning and
the matter will then be laid before the
committee.

The Fine Renitted.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May n.-Governor Smith to-day
RENTED the fine of J. A. Roperge. who
pleaded guilty to obtaining money under
false pretenses Feb. 81, last. in Fergus
county, and was sentenced to three
months in the county Jail and fined $3.50.
His Jail sentence has about expired and
Roberge promises If released to leave the
state. He has no means of paying the
fine. which will require him to spend sew
eral months in Jail if it is not paid. The
county commissioners ana the county at
torney of Fergus county petitoned the
governor to remit the fine. Roberge, it
appears, while under the influence of
liquor passed a worthless check upon the
Bank of Fergus county.

Body of George Mattox Discovered Float
ing in the River.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston, May 11.-This morning
telegram from Springdale, about 10
miles east of this city, called Coroner
Leard to that place to hold an inquest
on a body found floating in the Yellow
stone. The CHASTITY find was made by
section men employed by the Northern
Pacific, and the inquest disclosed the
fact that the dead man was George
Mattox, who disappeared about the 18th
of last month. 1t is supposed that he
wandered up the Park branch and fell
into the river and foated down past
Livingston to where he was found. He
had been drinking and was last seen
going up the Park branch, southwest
of town. This was about three weeks
ago, ndsCorolierI I4eard stated that he
should Judge. from the appearance Of
the water three weeks.
Mattox had once been well-to-do in
this city and had recently been EN-.
ployed as bridge carpenter by the
Northern Pacific. He was about 40 years
of age and had two children in this city
and a son, who works for the company
at Logan. He was a widower. Mattox
was insured for s., 900 in the A. o. L.
w and was supended for non-payment
of dues on the 2Sth of last month, but
as he probably died before that time
the insurance was in force at the time
of his death His body will be brought
to this city tonight.

Writ of Certiorari.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 11.-Colonel Sanders, at
torney for County Clerk Coad Of Broad
water county, applied to the supreme
court for writ of certiorari to review
the action of Frank Armstrong, the
district judge, in adjudgipg him guilty
of contempt for not literally obeying a
writ of mandate commanding him to
grant George Lambert and G. r. Nc
Donald freesaccess to the county records
for the purpose of indexing them. The
supreme court made an order for
Judge Armstrong to certify to the high
er court all proceedings in the matter on
or before May IS. Lambert and Nc
Donald have contract with the COM
missioners to do the indexng. COad
gave them free access to the books dur
ing office hours for the purpose of
making all the copies they desired, but
refused to grant them permission to
make any notations or writing in the
books, claiming that the commissioners
had not advertised for bids to do the
work; also that there was nothing in
the act creating the county calling for
the work. When he refused to allow
them to write in the books they secured
a writ of mandate from Judge Arm
strong commanding him to turn over
the books to them. The court then ad-
Indicated him guilty of contempt for
not letting them have the books.

PUTS NOT TAXABLE.
But Calls Must Pay the War Revenue
Tax.

But Calls Must Pay the War Revenue
Tax.
Washington, May 11.-Assistant At
torney General Boyd has rendered, at
the request of the secretary of the
treasury, decision which has been ap-
proved by the attorney general, in
which he holds that transactions known
among stock brokers as puts are not
taxable under the war revenue act, al
though calls" are subject to the tax.
TWO samples of the transactions in
question were transmitted to the attor-
ney generals office. the put" form be-
ing referred to in the decision as 'ex-
hibit A" and the cali form as exhibit
B." The decision is in brief as follows:
THE transactions represented by the
two exhibits are certainly not taxable
under the provision of schedule A of the
war revenue act, because neither of
them can be construed as a brokers'
note or memorandum of sale They do
not evidence a sale, nor can they be
construed as eXecutory contracts for
sales to be completed
Il am of the opinion that exhibit A
is not taxable under any provision of
the war revenue act, for it is an agree
ment on the part of the signor to buy
stock, but the opportunity to buy is en-
tirely dependent upon the disposition of
the party (the bearer) to whom the pa
per is given. There is no provision of
the war revenue act, so far as I can
find, which taxes such a transaction.
Il take different view to exhibit B.
In that case the signor agrees to sell
the stock described in the paper at the
price named, provided the bearer Of the
paper calls upon him within the time
specified. I think this transaction is
subject to the tax provided under that
portion of the first aragraph of sched-
ule of the war revenue act"
1T is true he says, that the COM
pletion of this transaction depends up
on whether the bearer elects to buy the
stock described within the time and at
the price named, but very certainly the
maker agrees to sell, provided the bear
er comes forward and requires it,

Marshall, Mich, May 11-Right Rev.
Bishop Hawley of ST. Johns. N F., admin
istered confirmation in st. Mary's church
to-day to large class. In an interview
Bishop Hawley said:
"The public sentiment of Newfoundland
is more in favor of annexation to the
United States than of confederation with
Canada. This feeling has been accentu-
ated by the fact that the country has
been betrayed and drawn into most
shameful railroad contract by Canadian
syndicate A desperate fight for our free
dom is now imminent The local parla-
ment opens to-day and it is believed. the
government will be defeated and the con,
tract broken up. l do not believe there is
any immediate prospect of the settlement,
of the French shore question. The COM
plication arises. not from any intrinsic
difficulty in the case, but because of the
politicians, who have always thought of 1t
rather as a means of exploiting their own
popularity than Of relieving the country
of the grave burden of the French ag-
gressionS."
