OFFICIALS CONFIDENT
In the Ultimate Success of Peace
Negotiations.

Washington, May 3.-General Otis
made no mention in his report to the
war department to-day of the eX-
change of negotiations with the insur-
gents for the cessation of hoStilities but
that fact did not abate the confidence
of officials in the ultimate success of
the pending attempts to arrive at an
understanding. There is belief at The
war department that the Filipino lead
ers are thoroughly discouraged and it
is suspected that the next step in the
peace negotiations will be IA Wholesale
effort on the part of individual Fill
pinos in the insurgent ranks to make
terms for themselves without reference
to others. Meanwhile there may be
some small engagements between the
outpostS, but nothing like general bat
tie is expected. The reported Junction
effected between the forces of Lawton
and Hale gives graf satisfaction to the
officials here. They have been appre-
hensive over the length Of the line of
communication between Lawton and
Manila but with short route open
now to Malolos. on the railroad, there
is no longer any reason to fear that sup
plies can be cut off.

'I do not know of any way to solve

The trouble at Wardner seems to be a
determination of Smith to interfere
with a private contract between Jones
and Brown, concerning the terms of
which Smith had no right to be heard.
I do not know of any law, state or ma
tional which permits a third party to
interfere with the right of first and
second party to make and carry out
lawful contract. even by peaceable
means. When the third party resorts
to violence to accomplish his purpose.
what you very properly designate as
laWlessness' ensues, and failure TO sup
press his efforts is the first step towards
the Subversion Of law and ORDER and
ultimately of government and ciViliza-
tion. Whenever it becomes evident that
the authority of the state is insufficient
to prevent such subversion of law and
order the federal government should
promptly come to it's aid. This seems
to be the situation in Idaho at present.

A GREAT CALAMITY.
A Wonderful Season of Production Nipped

A Wonderful Season of Production Nipped
in the Bud.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
New York May 3.-The news from
the Occur d'Alenes has somewhat ex-
cited the contingent Of Butte and Spo-
kane mine owners and engineers who
are in New York laying plans for sew
eral important deals. They look uron
the trouble as a great calamity TO the
mining interests of Idaho and the West
generally. One of them expressed him
self very forcibly to a Standard re-
porter to-day.
THE union miners said he. .ncver
fail to stir up strife when times begin
to improve. Eastern capital has been
pouring into the Occur dAlenes for
some time and the mines were never In
a better shape than now. Indeed the
district had started on an era of un-
exampled prosperity. New mines were
being developed the old mines were
being worked with renewed energy and
there was good feeling all around un-
til the leaders. whom I regard as the
bane of the mining industry, began to
foment trouble and upset, if not de-
stroy. the work of years. Miners get
good pay and are well treated and they
are not entitled to any sympathy, in
my opinion. On the contrary, when the
facts become known. it will be seen that
by their eXtraVagant demands ana
reckless destruction of property they
are frightening capital and retarding
progress which it has taken years to
build up. No greater injury could be
done to the district than the hot-headed
union leaders are doing. We have the
biggest lead-slver region in the world,
and it is an outrage to permit these
fellows to turn back the wheels of ad-
vancement when all the conditions We're
making for a wonderful season of pro-
duction and development"

mite guns and the 10 and 12-inch rifles

at the foot of Seventh street. but it is
expected within week they will all be
in their places at the forts.
The mortars are about 70 feet in
length and four feet in diameter at the
breech. They weigh about 16 tons each

MOTION TO DISMISS.
State Board Repealed the Obnoxious
Resolution.


San Francisco. May 3.-Pursuant to
instructions contained in the Black
stock resolution ADAPTED recently by
the board of railroad commissioners.
Attorney General Ford to-day filed in
the United States circuit court no
tice to the Southern Pacific company
that next Monday he would move to
dismiss the action brought by the rail-
road company to restrain the commits
sioners from putting in force the re-
ductions in the freight schedule adopt
ed by the previous board of railroad
commissioners. The motion to dismiss
will be supplemented by Il motion that
each side pay its own costs.
The Blackstock resolution rescinded
and repealed the resolution adopted on
Sept. 26, 1895, reducing grain rates s
per cent. and reducing all other classes
of freight 25 per cent. AS the suit
was brought by the railroad company
to prevent the commissioners from put
ting the new rates into effect and as
the obnoxious resolution has been re-
pealed, it is believed that the railroad
company will not oppose the motion
to dismiss
