American Loan Office Visited and Sew

of Stuff Taken.

The American loan office, No. s East
Park street, was visited by burglars
some time last night, and all the loose
leWelry and valuables taken away. The
fact that the place had been burglarized
was discovered by the police about 6
O'Clock this morning and the proprietor,
Ed Rose, was notified.
Immediately east of Roses establish

is of wood. The burglars broke in a

experienced no difficulty in cutting a
man-hole in the partition of the loan
office. Then they went in and helped
themselves at their leisure.
Mr.. Rose estimates his loss at about
$500, including watches, cheap jewelry,
razors, opera glasses and other articles
too numerous to mention. which go to
make up a stock Of "unredeemed

N housebreakers also opened a num-

tempted to carry any away.
Several thousand dollars worth of Jew

the safe, which was not touched. The
contents of the money drawer were also
put in the safe when Mr.. Rose closed the
place at 8 o'clock last night.
Two men were arrested this morning
whom the police suspect of being in some
way connected with the burglary. Their
names are Paddy White and Casey.
White made a demonstration his morn

a bartender give him a drink. When ar

All Important Capture Made by
the Police.
WITH SPURlOUSCOlN
One OF a Gang of Men Who Have Been
Operating III Butte For
Several Months.

For some time past spurious silver
coins have been in circulation in Butte,
and the police and the secret service
men in the employ of the federal gov
m have been at their wits end to
find the culprits. An arrest was made
last night by Sergeant James Leyden
which may lead to others, and which is
thought to be a very important cap
ture.
The man in custody gave his name as
Gus Schleckengase, and he is thought to
be the leader of a small gang Of coun-
terfeiters who have been operating
quietly in the city for the past three or
four months. When arrested his pockets
were full Of spurious coins. and while
nothing in the way of counterfeiter's
tools were found in his room in the Penn
s~ylvania house. the police have enough
evidence against him to put hin where
he will not compete with the director of
the mint in the money-making business
for a long term Of years.
The authorities at Washington were
notified abou. a month ago of the
abundance of spurious silver in circula-
ton in Butte and Anaconda. Very
shortly after the notification a secret SER
vice man was sent To bullc 10 lellet OUT
! the mystery. How we'll he did his work
the presence of the man in custody
fully testities. He furnished the police
with an accurate description of the man
who was supposed to be showing the
, queer" in this section, and the officers
have kept all suspected individuals I'M
der close surveillance. Last night Ser
geant, Leyden saw a man in the Cali
fornia. brewery who answered the de-
scription to a nicely. He promptly ar
rested him and took him to the city
Jail.
A search Of the prisoner convinced the
officers that they had the right man. In
his pockets were found two bags con-
tanning Sc counterfeit dollars, Splits in
good money. some pennies that had been
w~hitewashed fer the purpose of passing
them for 10-cent pieces, and a bottle Of
strychnine.
He also had on his person a typewriter
circular of a kind with which honest
men would have little to do. The circu-
lar is issued by the Gray Silver Plating
company of Cincinnati, and shows up the
advantages of a sil~ver-plating outfit,
which it offers for sale. A portion of the
circular reads as follows:
accept the general agency for you
district and order your outfit today. We
will aid, assist and protect you. teach YOU
the business, refer customers, etc, free
with all goods ordered.
You make a handsome profit on al
the plating you do and also or the
platers you sell. Others are making

"'GATOR" SMITH.

Kansas City Journal: William E.
Smith, the tall representative from Nc
Donald county, is known all over the
southwest as "'Gatcr'' Smith, a nick
name that was given him in a political
controversy down in Newton county
many years ago.
"'Gator,'" a correspondent of the
Republic says, sis one of the characters
of the assembly. His growing like a
rooster on the night of the democratic
senatorial caucus made him famous and
popular among his fellow legislators. 1t
is one of the sights of the session to see
''Gator' place little Harrison Weant Of
Galloway county, one Of the pages of the
house, on a desk in front of him. The
midget clucks for all the world like a
fuss void hen, and ''Gator' crows as no
mortal man ever crowed before. When
the members of the house want a little
amusement they induce Gator and the
midget to give their speciality.
'In addition to his other accomplish
ments, ''Gator' tells a story we'll. In
1894 he was a candidate for probate judge
office three terms, and was running for
the fourth. He was beaten because he
used a gold pen. The sturdy farmers
and cowboys of Mcdonald like Gator
and stood by him, but when he bought a
gold pen and it was currently rumored
and generally believed that he wrote the
recorts of his court with the obnoxious
pen, they retired him to private life. 1t
took two or three years for Mr.. Smith
to square things about that pen, and now
he is extremely circumspect as to the
kind of a pen he uses"

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
a Comprehensive Statement of Cam
cdn's Surprising Attitude.

More details concerning the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain over the Alaska boundary ques-
tion were learned yesterday. In order that
the public may understand the true situa-
ton the following statement containing
resume of the facts only in the case is
given:
The United States made the first propo-
sition that the question be submitted to
arbitration and suggested that the court
be the same as that provided for in the
general arbitration tariff between Great
Britain and the United States, three dis
tinguished lawyers to be appointed by each
Government. Canada agreed TO accept the
proposition in principle. but made it a con-
dition to an agreement that the question
of her claims TO title in the ports of Dyea
and Skaguay must be arbitrated. and that
in any event the United States must agree
to cede to Canada a port in tide water.
The United States refused to be bound by
any such conditions, on the ground that
both ports were American by actual pos
session and political title. AS there ep-
peared to be no chance OF an agreement at
that time the United States then Of
fered to waive the condition that five af-
firmative votes would be necessary 10 Sc
cure action on any point, and agreed to
the application of the majority rule. To
this Great Britain responded with srg
gestion that an umpire, to be an European,
be appointed. The United States made
counter proposal that the umpire snould
be a Latin American. On this point a
deadlock was reached, and the negotiations
of the Canadian-American Commission
came to an end.
Since the adjournment of the commission
the British Government has proposed a
temporary modus yivendi which was as
sented TO By the United States with the un-
derstanding that a temporary boundary
-iine be arranged. The American Govern
ment stipulated, however. that the pro-
visional line should not in any way preju-
dice the final settlement. The United
States defined this line and Great Britain
agreed TO accept it if Canada would ap-
prove. But the Dominion Government in
sisted that the line should be drawn from
the crests of the mountain ranges. There
has never been any certainty as TO the To-
cation of the crests and the United States
therefore regarded Canada's proposition
as unreasonable. At that point the nego-
tiations came to a standstill.
That the Government is willing to do
everything that it can consistently do to
secure an agreement is shown by a state
ment Of the other concessions which it
agreed TO make. The most important of
these was a proposition to buy outright of
Great Britain and Canada. paying two or
three times as much as the vessels and
ether property was worth, and also to
pay to Canada a percentage on the profits
earned by American sealers. Concessions
on lumber and farm products were offered
also but Canada's attitude would not per-
nit the arrangement of a treaty.

MUST PAY THEIR TAXES.
New York Commissioners' Decision
Affecting Absentee Citizens

New York. May 2s.-By the decision of
the board of tax commissioners made pub
lie yesterday, three OF New York's citizens
who have taken up their residence abroad
will have TO pay their taxes just the same
as those who do not mingle with foreign
nobility.
William Waldorf Astor must pay his per-
sonal taxes on an assessment of 81. 600 900
worth of personal property The Bradley
Martins must pay taxes on 50. .O0O, 900 worth
of personal property. Mrs. Isaac H. Sher-
man, mother of Mrs. Bradley Martin, must
pay taxes on s2.500,0O0 worth of personal
property.
They were all accorded private hearings
with counsel by President Feitner, of the
board of tax commissioners. and that Of
fetal almost decided that they could go
free. The public was refused the facts
concerning the hearing The statement
was made that a little matter of dispute
over Sl62,0 600 taxes was none of the public's
business.
II appears that neither William Waldorf
Astor nor the Bradley Martins are citi-
zens of Great Britain. Their property in
New York is, therefore. as open TO taxation
as if the proprietors Of the estates were
temporarily residing in Hoboken.
Mr.. Astor and the Bradley Martins came
from England 10 try TO have their assess
ments set aside
Public sentiment was aroused to such
an extent that Mr.. Feitner. who had prac-
tically decided in their favor, looked into
the matter again The result was that
he found that the sojourners abroad must
