ing taken before Judge Blake as referee,

Mr.. Lynch said that he estimated the

per acre and was willing to give So, 900
for the 50 acres in the tract. He said
he had made this offer while a witness
in a FORMER suit over the same ground.
Asked by Judge Mediation if he had
not testified at a prior hearing that the
ground where the Stag and stailings had
been dumped was absolutely worthless
Mr.. Lynch replied that he had not.
You are very frienu4y with the Butte
& Boston people are you not?" asked Nc
Hatton.
N particular friendship replied Mr..
Lynch.
well isn't 1t a fact that you have a
friendly feeling for the Butte & Boston 20
persisted the attorney.
only the same feeling that every other
citizen of the community has. and Moth
ing more thar the company deserves"
replied the witness.
Mr.. Lynch was asked to make his re-
ply tn the question more explicit and he
replied that he was friendly to all the
mining companies, but If asked to ex-
press it in a single word he would say
yes" to the question.
You havn't been very friendly with
the Montana Ore Purchasing company

pany," said the attorney.
II have no good feeling for people who
would attempt to get me to perjure my
self"
When was that attempt made, MI.
Lynch?" asked Mediation.
We'll they tried to get me to sign an
affidavit that the Butte & Boston could
get an impartial trial here"
Who asked you to sign that afida-

"Well, because 1 would not sign it, I

Mr.. Lynch in reply to further questions

America Should Expand.

New York, Jan. 27.-One hundred and
two members and guests of the Ameri-
! can Asiatic association sat down to the
second annual dinner Of the organization
at Delmonico's last night. President Nc
Kinley, Secretary of State Hay, Secretary
Gage, Senators everidge, Lodge and AL
drich sent letters of regret.
The toasts of the speakers were as fol-
lows: 1.-The President of the United
States" Charles DENLY: 1.-THE American
Asiatic Association" Everett Frazer;
China. the Greatest Potential Market
in the World" WI Ting Fong: Japan,
komura; 1.-THE South and the Open Door
IN the Far East" John L. McLaurin;
THE Paramount Interests of the United
States in ASIA" John Barrett.
Minister WI Ting Fong wore his bril-
liant Oriental costume of silk, embroid-
with Chlnese characters. The minister
from Japan wore full evening dress, after
the American model. Ex-Minister DENLY
was the first speaker. He maintained
that the United States should not stand
oily by and see other powers establish
hostile camps in China under their noses.
nu we have as much right" he said,
to intervene in Chinese matters in be-
half OF our missionaries and merchants
as we had to intervene in Venezuelan
affairs. We has just as much right to
preserve and save our trade rights in
emma as England has, or Russia or any
other European power has to protect its
own. Why should England and Russia
and France and Germany arrogate to
themselves the control of Asia? We are
the closest to China of all the great COM
mercial nations except Japan. We nave
done more to open it to civilization than
any other country except England. Our
trade is next to England's. Our popu-
lation In China is next to England's. BY
what right shall other atoms step in?"
Our western coast is alive, awake, and
is stretching out its hands for the trade
Of hundreds of millions of people, which
Is to make San Francisco, Tacoma and
Seattle the rivals Of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston,"
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
spoke at length of the industrial growth
Of the south and its stimulations by trade
with the Orient. In striving for conf
mercial expansion, he said he would not
favor the incorporation into our body po-
lite any semi-barbarOus races totally un-
able to appreciate u system of govern
ment, but he did favor expansion.
WI Ting Fong, Chinese minister, was
the last speaker. He said: China needs
many things that are manufactured by
the United States. We want your cotton
goods and IRON and steel products. But
you cannot expect us to buy your pro-
ducts unless we like you. China wants
the United States to do fairly with her.
Fair dealings on the part of the United
States would mean the admission of NV
countrymen to the United States as free
~ as immigrants from any other nation.
l hopethe association will call the atten-
ton or ngre to the injustice of the
present system so that my countrymen
nave the rights of American citizenship
II become your countrymen,"

Satisfactorily Explains Posses
son of Certificates.
UNJUSTLY SUSPlClONED
Mrs. Shaver'S Purse Was Not in His
k0om-HeR Regrets the
N0t0riety.

The friends Of George Brown, the young
man who was apprehended yesterday by
the authorities in connection with the
alleged Butler house burglary and who
was held because several certificates of
deposit, belonging to Deenan brothers
were found in his possession are graf
flied that he has been able to
make a clear and satisfactory
explanation to the officers clearing his
good name of suspicion and .effecting his
release from custody.
The 5000 which was missed by Mrs.
Shaver Of the Butler house was found
not in Browns room as has been previ-
ously stated, but in a closet, where Mrs,
Shaver admits at she left it.
Browns story of the finding of the GER
tificates of deposit was corroborated last
night by two Il men. Sid Lewis and
Mel Palmer, who were with him at the
time.
On the statement of these young men
the officers became convinced that they
had suspected an innocent young man,
and released him at once.
1t Is to be regretted that so much no.
toriety was given the case and Mr.. Brown
naturally feels that q great injustice has
been done him.

pristress of a Galena street lodging
house, Of $3.50. The complaint was sworn
to by the alleged victim, who also pro-
poses to prefer an additional charge OF

Mrs. symon's statement of the robbery
is to the effect that the money in question
was pinned in the bosom of her night
robe. Over the night robe she wore a
wrapper. Rutledge, who was her friend,
and for HON she had suffered much,
knew where the money was cached.
Late last night Rutledge and Josie

the floor, tore her wrapper and night
dress from her and took the money, Rut-
ledge using a knife to cut it from it's
f~astenings.

through the hand, n for this she pro-
poses to prefer an additional charge
against him.
Mrs. Symon's clothing had been torn to
pieces and she had to wait several hours
before she could get garments so she
could go out decently clad. Then she
went before the county attorney and had
