LOST ON A FOUL.
ROWETT TRIPPED LEWIS IN FIFTH
ROUND.

In his battle with Spider Jim Lewis be-
fore the Butte Athletic club last night
Jack Rowett fouled his opponent by trip
ping Inn, and a very pretty contest was
awarded to Lewis by Referee Langdon.
While the decision was proper and fair
many of the spectators were disappoint-
ed because of the cessation of hostilities.
The contest was a spirited one from the
start n the Spider" had all the best
of it. His superior reach was of material
advantage and he seemed to land on
Rowett at his pleasure. Rowett fought
in rushed and succeeded in landing a
number of hot ones just above the belt.
Towards the end of the fifth round Row.
ett's wrestling training got the better Of
him, he put out his foot and pushed
Lewis over it and the two men fell to-
gether. Lewis entered a protest and the
referee awarded the fight to him.
The preliminary was between Jack Fo-
garty and Jack Livingston. 1t was live
ly at least Fogarty must have thought so.
Livingston will spar DeVere before the
club next Wednesday evening.

|NTERCEOES
FOR THE BOY
County Attorneys Interest In
Roy Redlich'S Case.
MAY TRY FOR PAROLE
Lads Teachers Think 1t Was a Mis-
take to Send Him to Reform
School.
MAY TRY FOR PAROLE

In al. probability Roy Redlich has en-
ence, but If everything goes right the
obstruction will be removed before he at
tains his majority M he will nave clear
sailing for a while at least.
Redlich is one of two boys sentenced to
the reform school by Judge Clancy last
Saturday n taken to Miles City by the
sheriff Monday night. The only witness
against him was his stepmother. Roy
had been attending the Blaine public
school and when his teachers heard of the
move against him they indited a letter to
the county attorney protesting against
his transfer to the reform school. In the
epistle that stated that he was a good
boy, but like other boys was possessed of
a mischievous spirit. When the letter was
received, however, the button for his con-
inement at Miles City had already been
pressed by the court. The county attor-
ney a Interested himself in the case
and will probably get Roy out Of his UNI
pleasant dilema. Today he sent the fol-
lowing letter to the superintendent Of the
reform school,:
To the Superintendent of the State Re-
form School, Miles City, Mont.
Dear Sir: Last Saturday there was
committed to the state reform school a
boy named Roy Redlich. The boys step
mother was the only witness against him.
and testified that the boy was derelict in
attending Sunday school; that he stole
from his parents, and was disobedient,
and could not be trusted. Judge Clancy
committed the boy to the reform school,
stating at the time that he disliked to
do it; that he did not think Roy was a de-
! PRAYED boy.
"Since the courts action, we have re.
ceived a communication from Roy's
teachers and schoolmates, representing
that Roy is a bright boy, and stating thai
they thought it would be a mistake ia
send him to the reform school. The boys
demeanor in court was in his favor.
I'VE would be pleased If you would
write us occasionally as to Roy's pro-
gress, n If the boy behaves himself, W.
should like to assist in the proper steps
looking to his parole.
I'm the meantime, we commend him ia
your consideration, and trust you will
look after the boys interests" +

We do believe that the control Of Butte

We do believe that the control of Butte
& Boston is destined for the Amalgamat-
ed Copper ompany We do not. however,
believe the report which we receive from
New York hat a single institution in that
city is loaning $50 per share upon 1872, 900
shares of Butte & Boston, $4,000 of which
are declared to belong to a Boston opera
tor and his gas partner, and 100000
shares to the Standard Oil people.
We do not dispute but that these inter-
ests combined are responsible for $4,000
shares of Butte & Boston, but we do not
believe any single institution in New
York or elsewhere would lend $50 per
share upon Butte & Boston to anybody.
We believe the Ama1gamated Copper
company, as respects the Butte Mountain
copper camp, has got to be pulled through
one way or another, by the Standard Oil
millions; but it is the largest financial
undertaking, even as applied to the state
of Montana, in which the Standard Oil
millions ever engaged and not wen John
D. Rockefeller can afford to attempt to
do 1t alone. We believe further-and we
have made enough study of this situation
to entitle us to speak d~irectly-that the
general financial situation will not be
regarded as sound until the A~malgamated
Copper proposition reaches a satisfactory
settlement.
The Almalgamated Copper question is
more far-reaching than most people
know. It has been hitched to the great
est aggregation of millions the world has
! ever seen.
Had it been successful, it would nave
involved a thousand million dollar of
capital. For the American copper situa-
ton alone it contemplated the launching
upon the public markets of not only one
seventy-ive million dollar but
five seventy-five million dollar companies,
to be ultimately a~malgamated into an
0fhnr o0s,Y, m to-, a1ro 80 ~ %loco -
would nave been the bank of banks, the
trusts of trusts.
1t would have taken one thousand mill
lion dollars to have perfected it interna-
tionally. as was originally contemplated.
! The size of it ma be best understood
when one reflects that there was never a
seventy-five million dollar flotation at
tempted before, in the history Of the
world, we believe, outside of a govern
nent loan. relying upon the savings of
millions of people, and the allied support
of all Institutions, individuals and inter-
ests.
There is only one parallel in history to
this attempts; and that was only one-half
it's size. When the English public hesi-
tated to take the $35, 900. 900 Canadian Pa
cific loan, the house of Barring said: How
foolish; We will take it ourselves. Mark
up the price on the exchanged" Presto!
1t was done, and the English public in
vested, through the exchanges, at the adj
vance,. and relived the house of the en-
tire $35 900 600, ard at a handsome profit.
It was the beginning of the end. The
success embroidered them. and nothing
less than $40. coo. 900 was thereafter to be
considered. The proposition was found-a
$$40,0 0 900 drainage scheme in the Ar
gentine Republic. The end is we'll known.
The Bank of England, with the help Of
the Bank of France, had to come to the
rescue of the House of Barring.

SWALLOWED MORPHINE.
HAZEL SNYDER WHO ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE, OUT OF DANGER.

Hazel Snyder, the young woman who
attempted to commit suicide last night
by taking morphine because of a quarrel
with her lover, Bert Snyder, Is entirely
out of danger, according to the statement
of DR.. H. NJ. Hall, the attending physi-
clan.
The girl swallowed a large dose of
morphine and it required several hours
hard work to save her life. After she had
recovered sufficiently, she was taken out
on the street by friends and was walked
until a late hour this morning. The per-
ambufa tion had the desired effect and she
will recover.

THE COPPER MINING SHARES
POLICY TO BOOST AMALGAMATED
GROUP IN EVIDENCE.

The policy of the Amalgamated COM
pany, as outlined in eastern financial
papers recently, of gradually forcing the
price of the parent stock of the Standard
Oil copper combine up to a price near
or above par, and thereby helping to re-
store confidence to the entire list of
Standard stocks, has. become apparent
during the past few days. 1t has been
slowly forced up from $50, and closed to-
day at $S4, with every indication of
solidity. Anaconda opened at $39. so, sold
at $40 and closed Is cents in excess of the
bidding. Boston & Montana lost five
points during the trading. Calumet lost
two points, and there were fractional
losses and gains throughout the list.
The closing quotations were as fol-

Declaration Which Causes Sur
prise IN the House of Commons.
London. Feb. 5. - Mr.. Wyndham's
remarkable declaration in the house
of commons that Great Britain would
nave IN a fortnight 10000 regulars in
South Africa. 1000 Canadians and
Australians and 22.OOO South African
colonials. is received with wonder.
ment. OF this total of 213OOO troops
anG 2:'2 guns, all are there now With
the exception of $4,000 afioat. Beyond
comparison this is the largest force
Great Britain has ever put into the
field. At the end of the Crimean war
she had scraped together about 10000
men. Wellington, at Waterloo, 'had
about $4,000. Mr.. Wyndllam's speech
was the strongest defense the govern
mrnt has vet put forward as to what
has been done and is being done. The
general opinion Of the morning papers
is that his figures will astonish the
country. Roughly speaking only So
600 are ut the front: 10000 others have
been lost and 10000 are shut up in
I.aGysmith. There are nearly 100000
troops who have not yet been in &c,
ton, besides those at sea. Why so
many have not been in action is due
to lack of land transports and sup.
plies, to which Lord Lansdown is de-
voting his attention and genius. 1t
seems as though the force of these
masses must destroy the equilibrium
which holds the British forces station
airy wherever they are in contact with
the Boer army.
Lack Of Transportation
and organization will not explain ade-
Quately why, when generals ut the
front need reinforcements. they only
get them in very small numbers.
Knowledge is slowly penetrating to
London that large garrisons must be
kept in Cape Colony to hold down the
Cape Dutch, who, as every one knows.
outnumber the British residents three
to two. Cable scraps received during
the last twelve hours do not furnish
much information, on the military Op-
erations. Many independent reports
confirm the rumor that Gen. Butler
told his command on the 2Stll. that lit
hoped to relieve Ladysmith within Il
week. 1t is believed i'll some rather
Trustworthy quarters that he is again
assaling the Boer lines. \ further
list of casualties published by The war
office brings the total from the cross
ing of the Tugela to the abandonment
of Spion Kop to 1885 officers and men.
Exceptional activity in the navy
yards continues, but correspondent
of the Associated Press learns that
this is chiefly new construction ana
rettting work. Three cruisers were
commissioned at Davenport this
month. Some unpleasant criticism OF
the war office is caused by the rumors
that Lee-Henry cartridges are defect
i've. Old carbines have been supplied
to the outgoing Fourth brigade of cav
airy. The only thing fresh in military
preparations is the formation of three
additional batteries.

TORPEDO BOAT TRAGEDY.
\ Sad Illustration of the Danger of
This Service.


This Service.
The Union squadron investing
Charleston during the civil war was
drawing closer and closer to the DOOM
ed place. One Of the warships that lay
closest inshore was the Housatonic,
and that vessel was selected as the
torpedo boats victim. The Portland
Transcript tells the tragic story: The
evening Of Feb. II, 1865, closed in raw
and foggy. At s o'clock Capt. Corison
gave the command and the boat drop
ped down the river. AS the clocks
were striking the half hour in the city
the little craft pulled over the bar.
Noiselessly she glided through the
water, guided by the lights on the
Housatonic, for which she headed. So
heavy was the fog that she escaped
the notice Of the sentries. At quar-
ter to nine she lay directly in front
Of the Housatonic, at distance Of five
hundred yards. She was running faster
now, and little farther on she began
and she disappeared. Five minutes
later there was dull roar, and the
water around the Housatonic boiled
like caldron. The noble ship gave
a mighty upward heave and then be-
gan to settle. Ensign Hazleton and
four sailors who were below persisted,
but fortunately for the rest Of the crew
the water was shallow and they saved
themselves by climbing into the rig
ging. The vessel was total loss, but
the submarine torpedo boat was no
where to be found. Two years after
the war. when the wreckage was being
removed from Charleston harbor, the
Housatonic was raised. In her hull
there was a CHASTITY wound, inflicted
by the torpedo, and in that hole was
the torpedo boat with every man on
board still at his post, where he had
died years before. The little boat had
torn a big hole in the cruiser, through
which the water had poured in such .
volume that the torpedo boat was
drawn into it. And there its crew died
of suffocation, in the grasp of the en-
envy which they had destroyed.

places and that fighting has been pro-
ceeGing I'LL day long.
London, Feb :,.-The war office has
no news of Gen. Buffers alleged move

reason to doubt the correctness of it's
information. although it has NOT vet
learned the exact positions Gen. Butler
seized.

troops are confident of ultimate sue
cess. Great enthusiasm was aroused
by the queens message and Gen. Bull
er's speech, expressing admiration for
Gen. Warren's and Gen. Clery's divis-
ions and hoping they would reach
Iadysmith in a week.
The natives persist in asserting that
Gen. Joubert was killed by Il shell out
