the city of Butte by Edward l.. Ma

complaints they allege that at the time

street was an established street and
having been used as such for a long
time prior to the purchase of the
property by them. The plaintiffs made
improvements on their lots by erect
ing dwelling houses and residences
thereon, they having been constructed
with reference to the grade of the
street. After the buildings had been
erected the city changed the grade of
the street and cut it down without no
tice to the plaintiffs and without en-
deavoring to agree with the plaintiffs
as to the damage their property would
sustain. The street was cut from six
to nine feet, and the water pipes were
uncovered and had to be lowered by
the plaintiffs and they We're also COM

Habeas corpus proceedings were com
menced in the district court yesterday
in behalf of Bartle Suetko, another
Austrian who was mixed up in the kill

put in the county Jail as a witness
without the knowledge of the county
attorney, who did not want him, and
did not know that he was there until
yesterday. The habeas corpus will be
heard on Saturday and will probably
not be opposed.

A Unique Industrial Triumph.

From the New York Press.
Undoubtedly the most spectacular Of
American industrial triumphs is that
to be credited to Chicago firm for
securing an order for 1900 automo-
biles, or horselessN carriages, from
French company and for use in France.
Economically this is the reversal of
the rule, broken before only by abb
normal cheap labor conditions, as in
Japan, that a nation exports only it's
surplus products. There are certainly
no surplus product of these vehicles
here. They have been so far from COM
ing into general use that the few of
them seen on the streets are still re-
garded as curiosities They are pecu-
liarly creation of European cond-
tions, where city pavements and coun-
try roads are adapted for their use,
where horse flesh and horse feed are
alike dear, and where, moreover, there
is no racial attachment to the harness
horse as motive power. BY far the
greater part of the American public
have been surprised to know that there
is in the country a plant capable of
turning out so large a. number of these
vehicles. s'
That which is to be noted therefore,
is that American Industrial skill and
commercial shrewdness have been able
to supply one of the latest, most com
pick and hyper civilized of European
needs better than Europeans are able
to supply it themselves. This is the
more remarkable in view of all we
have heard from consular reports and
other trustworthy sources of the Amer
lean manufacturers Indifference to
the requirements of foreign customers.

THE BOOM STILL ON.
All Precedcnts Broken In the Mat.
ter of Volume Of Business
In January.

New York. Feb. 4.-The weekly re-
view of trade as published by R. G. Dun
& Co. says:
month Of January has been far beyond all
precedent. Exchanges made through clear
ing houses have been a per cent. larger
than last year and 69.7 per cent. larger than
in 1892 and while speculation in stocks in
New York materially increases the volume
Of payments. it was larger outside this city
by 1873 per cent. than in 1892 It is per-
tinent to note that the remarkable expan-
sion in the aggregate Of business comes in
spite OF a material decline in prices dur
ing the past seven years SO great that pay
ments Of $50. 0O0.0OO would cover about as
much business as payments Of So, 000. 600
in 1892. It is not strange that European
exchanges are disturbed and alarmed, and
rise in sterling. even when gold is being
shipped this way, is one Of the interesting
features. 1t Is commonly ascribed to re-
cent sales OF stocks on European account,
but 1t would take a million shares at ordt-
nary prices to cover one months merchan-
disc balance. Europe is not buying enough
to cover its accommodating excess Of mer-
chandise exports over imports.
Failures for the week have been ga In
the United States, against 1876 last year, and
Is in Canada. against SO last year. Failures
In January were smaller than in any pre-
VlOuS month except August, 1888. ana july
1897, and the proportion Of solvent pay
ments to clearing house exchanges IL
smaller than In. any other month of which
records exist. In January they were but
S6 cents per 1000 clearing house payments,
and the smallest in any previous month
had been about $l.0S per 1000. The de-
faulted liabilities were $7,721 1897. against
310.451.51s last year. q decrease Of 26 per
cent, and So per cent. smaller than in 1897,
81 per cent smaller than in 1906 so per
cent. smaller than In 1895, and 76 per
cent. smaller than In 1894. The manufac-
turing failures were the smallest, except
ing August. 1898. There were only seven
failures for 100000 or more. and the av-
erage Of liabilities per failure is smaller
than in January Of any other year. and
the small failures are not only fewer in
number. but smaller in average liabilities
than in any previous year. Considering
that January is usually one Of the largest
months Of the year in failures. the return
is surprising as we'll as encouraging"
