TN In Michigan.

NEW foRK, Jan. iT.-Negotiations
looking to the consolidation OF the
copper mining interests of tho United
States have been In progress In this
city for n week.
with rcputed backing no less pow
crful than hat Of the Standard Oil in
%tcrcsts, the American Copper Mining
company, in It's combination of six
plants, expects to revolutionizo the
copper mining industry Of tho world,
In which the United States already
figures us the chief factor. The Bos.
ton and Montana and the Butte and
Boston Mining companies, tho Old
Dominion Copper company Of Arizona,
aud tho Arcadian, TamaraclS and Oscc.
ola Mining companies of Michigan arc
named as the component parts Of tho
new organ iaation.
IL Is understood that the American
company will reach into Canada and
absorb important mines there, thus
making the combination into an inter-
national affair. The Calumet and
lIeckla company, tho largest producer
! n the Lake Superior region, has so
FAR refused to enter the combination.
Men who have watched transactions
n copper mining stocks for 1898 de-
clare that u small cotcrie OF men have
added $780, oo, 900 to their wealth
through this channel.
The combination springs from tho
recent upheaval In copper. Prices
have scared to tho highest figures
known, In face OF unprecedented CON
sumption. The increased employment
Of electrical energy has caused an
enormous demand for copper. Euro
pean countries alone, last year, used
$50, 7s9, 759 pounds, and when IL Is con.
sidcred hat American miners supply
most Of the foreign requirements, In
addition TO home demands, the posi-.
bilities in the copper situation become
apparent.
The Montana mines are the second
most important In the state which
heads the list OF copper producing
states. being exceeded In importance
only by tho Anaconda mine, owned by
Marcus Daily and J. B Haggin. Tn,
Arcsdian, Tamarack and Osceola prop
critics arc In the lIancock-H ougheor

peninsula. The Arcadian mine has no
been worked to any great extent, al
though It's shares advanced at men

The Portage lake district where tn,
Michigan mines involved are located
is In tho throes Of n copper craze thu
, approXimatcs the Kafir mania in SontI
Africa. Brokers from Boston, whicI
Is the American copper exchange, ar
. doing n rushing business at branch OF
fees opened on the ground, and peopl
are buying mining shares as fast a

Lewisohn Bros. of this city are cred
tied with being the principal factor
in inspiring new investments in Amer
lean copper mines. They have agent
in London and Paris, and have en-
couraged the export trade.

VANCOUVER, u. c.. Jan. VA story
81 alleged Chinese slavery has come 10
light here since the arrival of the
steamship Empress OF Japan from the
Orient. She brought from Hong Kong
to8 Chinese. OF which ioi were reported
TO be destined for Tampico, Mexico, TO
work on plantations
They were under the care Of a Chi
naman named Me Chop, who stated
that 1, 400 more are TO follow. While
hcrding the Chinese from tho dock to
q special train a stampede ensued. In
their frenzy a number rushed toward
tho edge OF tho dock. They would
have fallen into tho bay had 10 not
been for n police officer who stopped
the mad rush by knocking q score OF
then down. When they were finally
rounded up II was found that eight
were missing. After several minor
stampedes the Chinese were persuaded
10 get on the train.
The cause OF the frenzy and stam.
pcde was the arrival Of q Chinaman
from San Francisco who told them
they had been sold as slaves by Hong
Kong men and that they would never
GO back to China. Local Chinese hero
are helping the men still in hiding In
every possible way, as all are con.
vinccd that they and the remainder OF
the i,3Oo to follow arc being sold into
slavery. They are going to send word
TO the Chinese government about IL.
The city police are hunting down
tho missing Chinese for cvading the
$50 poll tax. Tho Canadian Pacific
officials are also hunting them because
they have contracted 70 take the party
safely over their lines and are liable TO
u heavy customs penalty for every
Chinaman landed In British Columbls
who does not pay poll tax.

Friday. january 10,

After preliminaries in the senate
yesterday morning, a joint resolution
was introduced by request asking cou-
gress to take immediate action on the
bill now in congress contemplating
extension Of the privilege of franchise
without distinction to sex so that the
amendment may come before the sew
eral state legislatures for action. Tn
der the rules the resolution went over.
The incident of the morning was n
motion by Prout of Gage that the ac-
tion adopting the resolution condcm.
natory of Colonel Stotsenburg be re.
considered. lie did this In behalf Of
persons who did not have the privilege
Of the floor and who felt that an in.
Justice had been done to a man who
had heretofore borne a good rcputa-
ton.
Grow of Douglas could see no use
In reconsidering the resolutions be
cause Of the unanimity of the scnti-
ment against ''this autocrat."
After some debate the motion to
reconsider carried, the vote being o. to
8. Senators Crow OF Douglas, Kneppcr,
Morgan, Owens and Smith voting no.
The idea seemed to prevail that the
action Of the day previous was too
hasty; that It smacked of CHM, where
they cut q mans head Off and ~investi-
gated afterward.
On motion of Talbot of Lancaster
the resolution was referred to the com
mittee on military affairs for iuvesti-
cation after IN hours debate, and after
being amended shat the committee re-
port to-day.
On motion Of Canaday of K~earney
$500 copies each of the messages of
Governor Holcomb and Governor
Poynter were ordered printed.
Holbrook of the committee on rules

set Of rules. The committee amended
rule II to read: "A call OF the house
may be made in joint session on mo-
ton seconded by five members and the
proceedings under the call shall not
be suspended except by Il majority OF
the members elect"
At the afternoon session Prout OF
Gage of the committee to assign rooms
for standing committees recommended
that the secretary OF state be instruct
ed to prepare n part of the lieutenant
governors larger room for use as II
