Proportional Repres7
entatiOn tried in
Belgium.
Result apparently satisfactory!

The first parliamentary elections
in Belgium under the new plan Of
proportional representation are an
interestingpolitical experiment. They
do not, however, seem to Lave pro-
duced the change expected of Them
The long ascendancy of the clericals
had prompted their enemies to try
proportional representation rs an
expedient that would bring about a
redistribution of voting strength IN
parliament, in which no one party
would have a decided majority. This
hope has been disappointed. The
government still retains substan-
tial majority. The hopeful side OF
it is the fact that no enemies of any
party that controls the government
under the new plan can plead any
excuse for revolution. Mino-itieB
will be represented according to
their full strength, and no cause for
doubling the justice of a popular
verdict can be alleged. It seems
that the people Of Belgium are satis-
fed with the result. The elections
we're quiet, and the Socialists gained
only moderate increase instead Of
the large vote they expected. The
result is interesting as being Que Of
the most complete aud exac. repre-
sentations Of a popular vote thai has
ever peen seen in legislative
assembly aud it win doubtless be-
closely followed by the political
writers who have placed special
value upon this plan.

Japan Anxious For
War With Russia.
Not prepared financially.

Information has been received in
Washington from reliable source
which shows that Japan has taken
rather peculiar action in connection
soith the naval maneouvres in which
her feet is now engaged.
1t is customary to place "dummy"
torpedoes at the mouths of the har-
borS which are included in the plan
of defence, but the information ref
erred to shows that live torpedOes
instead have been planted. This
fact has aroused considerable com,
ment in naval circles, and has been
accepted|as an indication of prepar-
alton for war.
In diplomatic circles, hotOever,
different impression prevails. A well
known diplomat who has just retur.
ned from Japan says that financially
the Japanese government is not in
condition to go to var, though he stat
ed that it undoubtedly was true that
the Japanese people were willing
and anxious to go to war with Rus
sia, giving as an indication of their
eagerness the effect of report, cir
culated tor stock jobbing purposes,
sohich announced that a Russian
man-of-war had fred upon Japan
ese merchant steamer, as a result Of
which Japan was immediately in
arms, the excitement disappearing
only when the alleged occurrence
was officially denied.
The Russian government is said
to be pursuing very correct. attit-
ude in the East at this time. Il

its representatives IN Japan and ko-

AT COPPEROPOLIS.

Messrs. Reynolds & Mcdowell Of Butte,
who are operating some cope proper
ties in Meagher county, are in receipt
Of some very pleasing information in re-
gard to the properties. They have .
patented claims and about 80 others
which were recently acquired. ABOUT
2S men are now employed but it the
properties prove as successful as anti
cipated ten times that number will be
employed within a year.. The forma-
ton near the surface is slate and lime:
The Northern Pacific claim has attained
the greatest depth-350 feet. It shows a
3-foot body of Sc per cent copper glance
i'm the east drift and about 2 feet OF 20
per cent copper in the west drift. ABOUT
Is cars of cope have been shipped.
none Of which averaged less than 70 per
cent copper. A car now on the way to
Rntte sample 40 per cent copper.
The ledge has been traced for miles
on the surface and it is said that fairly
good copper ore can be obtained any
where on the ledge. It is claimed by
the owners that the Montana Railroad
company has agreed to put in a branch
to the mines just as soon as the bond
is taken up, which will be within 80
DAYS. On the other mines of the group
it is said that the showing is equally
satisfactory. There is considerable &C.
tivity in the district. Dave Folsom q
we'll known mining mar, hash a 100-foot
shaft on a claim from which he is TAX
ing out a good grade of copper ore. He
has shipped one carload to a Butte
smelter. Drifting is in progress on the
35O-foot level OF the Northern Pacific
| and the result shows that the ore body
is continuous and not a pocket.
