WHOLESALE sUFFO EATON
Deadly Gases in the Bell Mine of
 the Anaconda.

Butte, Mont, Dec. What came very nearly being the worst mining disaster in the history of Butte, oc- cured today. Fortunately no lives were lost, but twenty-one unconscious and half-suffocated miners were hauled to the surface by ropes from the Bell mine, and laid in rows, while nearly all the doctors in the city worked over them, and by means of artificial respi ration and strong stimulants, finally succeeded in reViving all the victims.
 A month ago a fire broke out in the Bell shaft, one of the Anaconda com pany's properties, and so far, all att tempts to extinguish it have proved unavailing. A force of men were put to work today in the air-shaft, 300 feet deep, with the intention of drift ing to head off the fire in the main shaft. At noon the men failed to come to the surface, and a second gang was sent down to investigate. The second party also failed to return, and a third shift was sent below. Many of this shift were overcome by sulphurous gases before the fourth party, pro- tected with smoke helmets, reached the spot. The unconscious men were passed up the ladders, one at a time, with great difficulty, until all were ta- ken to the surface. It is not believed that any of the victims will sustain permanent injuries.

BUILDING BOOTHS
Now is the Tine For Everybody
 to Help.

The erection Of a few booths for the Friday morning many more were start ed, and by Friday night the streets were fairly well outlined by the little red, white and green houses. From now on until Monday, it is not expect ed the song of the hammer will be all lowed to grow faint. In fact, every body should get his hammer out and go to knocking. Not knocking the carnival, but knocking nails into the boards. This is the time one does the real knocking" as the word is used on the street, by not doing anything.
 If there ever is to be a time when this town will be full of people, it will be next week. If there is ever to be an opportunity for a business man, no matter in what line, to get out and mix up with and force himself upon the attention of the "man with the dough-" that opportunity will be next week. If there was ever a scheme de- vised to bring the man with something to say, to show, or to sell, in close con- tact with those who have nothing to do but listen, that scheme is a booth at a street fair.
 Most of the leading merchants are taking an early initiative, and by Sun day morning, will be ready for the car nival in all its glory. Those who have yet to begin should lose no time, and if there are any who have as yet failed to secure space, they should hurry! hurryi

THE GRANT BILL PASSED
The Product Subject to the Police Re gulations of States in Which it is Offered For Sale, But Its In troduction Cannot Be Prohibited So That Dairymen Are Only Half Protected.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The house to- day passed the Grout oleomargarine bill by a vote of 196 to 92. The substi- tute offered by the minority of the committee on agriculture, which inn posed additional restrictions on the sale of oleomargarine to prevent it's fraudulent sale as butter and increased penalties for violations, was defeated.
 The bill as passed. makes all arti- cles known as oleomargarine, butter inc, imitation butter or imitation cheese transported into any state or territory for consumption or sale, sub ject to the police power of such state or territory, but prevents any state or territory from forbidding transpor- tation or the sale of such product when produced or sold free from color ation in imitation of butter.
 The bill increases the tax on oleo- margarine colored in imitation of but ter from two to ten cents per pound, and decreases the tax on oleomarga- rine uncolored from two cents to a quarter of a cent per pound.

TO ENLARGE PHOENIX
Suits Brought Against Four Re
 luctant Additions.

City Attorney Bullard yesterday filed four suits in the district court looking toward the enlargement of the city of Phoenix. They are brought in the name of Mayor Gang against Murphy addition. Bennett addition, Dennis ad- dition. and the south half of Montgom- erv addition. There are two ways in which the city's boundaries may be extended. One is by the city council, and the other is by the district court. The council may not act until a pe- tition has been filed signed by the residents of the districts proposed to be annexed, and representing more than half of the taxable real estate of the district
 The court may order a district brought within the corporate limits, upon a showing that the population is sufficient, and generally that the best interests of the community will be subserved bv annexation. The court has not been resorted to until lately. All the additions now in. except Capl- tol and University, have come in by petition. Last spring Murphy addi- ton made application in that way, and was finally admitted, but the proceed ings were afterward found to be ir- regular. Dennis and Bennett addi- tons were also taken in by petition, and both figured in the census of Phoe- nix. It was subsequently, ascertained that in neither of the petitions was there a sufficient property representa- tion, and quo warranto proceedings were brought against the city. The allegations of the complaints were ad- mitted by the city attorney, and both additions were declared out If they are brought in under the present pro- ceedings, they will be in to stay.

VENTURA HILL MINING GO.
A Jerome Corporation With Promis.
 ing Future.

Tom Elder came down from Jerome yesterday morning, where he has been for two or three weeks on business onnected with the Ventura Hill Min ing company, of which he is president.
 The company was organized but a few weeks ago, but it is in a prosperous condition and considerable stock has been placed. The property consists of nine claims adjoining the United Verde, three of which are patented. MT. FL der has been working them for two or three years and $7,OOO worth of work has been done upon them. The reputa- tion of that district in itself is enough to alm5st guarantee the value of the claims, but MT. Elder says they are proceeding strictly on a business basis and have the ore in evidence.
 They have made a great many as says already and none of them have returned showing of less than 121a per cent copper. The present development work has been entirely satisfactory, and evidence of the value of the claims increases as depth is obtained. MT. Elder will return to Jerome about the first of the month.

WILL BE BRYAN MONEY
To Crowd the Mexican Dollar Out of the Philippines-The Obstacles Which Commissariss and Others Have Met in Their Commercial Intercourse With the Natives to be Overcome.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The cabinet meeting today was largely devoted to the discussion of the question of coin age for the Philippines and as a re- suit it is probable the secretary of war will request a hearing on the sub ject before one of the committees of congress. Nearly all the business of the islands is transacted in Mexican dollars, and the army commissaries and others supplied with United States money are at times greatly embaras- sed in making purchases from the Fil- fpinos by the fact, that, knowing noth- ing of our money or its value, the lat ter often refuse to accept it.
 The proposition which seems to have met with favor by the administration is to purchase silver bullion at the present market price and coin it into distinctive dollars having a gold value of about fifty cents. These dollars will probably contain a little less silver than the present standard dollars. The scheme has not yet been worked out in all of it's details.

MANY MoRMoNs ESCAPED.
Seventy Five Who Slaughtered Game
 Get Back Over Utah line.

.Meeker, Colo, Dec. Hate last night word was brought to Meeker by John A. Simms, a cattleman from Rangely, that Game Warden Johnson and party had arrested sixteen Mormons that were camped at Three Springs in Coy ote basin. They had twenty deer in their possession. The warden confis- cated the game and brought the Nor- mons to Yellow Creek for trial before Justice Shanklin. It apears that they have a clear case and are confident Of convicting the offenders. The party ar rested are only a portion of the Nor mons that are killing game in the Blue mountain country.
 About sevenrty-five Mormons are camped on Willow creek, west of Three Springs. They are slaughtering game in great numbers, but on the ap- pearance of the game warden in this country they broke camp and made d night drive in order to reach the Utah line, so as not to be overtaken or ar rested by the wardens. On getting ov- CT the Utah and Colorado line they will hide their game and claim that they had never left Utah, and it will be harG to prove to the contrary if no game is found in their possession. consequently they will escape the law.

A PRESIDENTS HOUSE.
Threatened With Extinction by Specu-
 latorS.

Washington, Dec. 7-Patriotic socie- ties and individuals are indulging in much speculation as to the future of Montpelier, the ancestral home of Pres ident Madison, and one of the historic estates of America, sharing public in terest in this respect with Mount Yer non. the hone of Warrington, and Mon iticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. Montpelier, which is in Orange county, Virginia, has recently been sold to a wealthy citien of Philadelphia. Fears have been expressed that the magni- ficent colonial estate is to be cut up and it's identity lost, but those fears are somewhat alayed by the announcement that the new owner intends for the present to use the place for stock breeding, for which the lands are ad- mirably suited.
 The estate, even in colonial days. was famed for it's picturesque beauty. The stately colonial mansion is one of the finest examples of architectural art of the times. The house was built by President Madison shortly before his n.a rriage, and it was here that he brought his bride, the lovely Dolly Payne Todd. Within its walls many persons of note were entertained, the number including Lafayette, Washing ton and others. The property embraces 1,236 acres, and upon it are located the well preserved tombs of President liar risOn and his wife. The property has changed hands a number of times since President Madison's death, but has always been kept intact, and the general hope is that it may continue

the Prairie on the Otlantic coast and the Michigan on the great lakes. Through lack of facilities a vessel fer the Pacafic seaboard was not assigned. Contingents from Louisiana, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine took short cruises of about a weeks duration on the Prairie, and the organizations of Ohio, Michigan and Illinois made prac- tice trips on the lakes aboard the Mick igan. These cruises developed a great deal of energy, ability and zeal among the officers, and a like efficiency, to- gether with high state of discipline, among the enlisted men.
 Lieut.. Commander Southerland. sets forth an array of facts to make obvi- ous the absolute necessity of a national naval reserve. in addition to the present military organiza tions, calling partic- ular attention to the fact that this pro- posed innovation is not suggested with any view whatever of displacing the present naval militia. The general gov ernment of the United States, says Commander Southerland, has no direct i've control whatever over these naval military bodies. They are state organ izal,ionS, pure and simple, organized under state laws, and thus it is that in the event of war, no member is un- der any obligation to answer call of the president for any naval service. Then, too, it is pointed out that our opponent in a possible war of the future may be a thoroughly equipped, first rate naval power, in striking contrast with our adversary of 1898, and that, therefore, it behooves the navy depart ment to create some sort of reserve force, organized under the provisions of the federal law, and operating under the direct control of the navy depart ment ready at a moments notice to reinforce the regular fighting strength of the navy.
 Captain c. H. Stockton, president of the naval war college, has submitted to the navy department his annual ra- port of the work of that body during the year ended Oct. 30 last. Various problems were dealt with, including naval tactics, naval reserve and war preparation of the personnel, the ques- ton of the type of ship best suited for the navy, the preparation of war charts and other matters.

Supt Art DedLt "

Washington of Congress ears. Dr.. Shands, however, wnv ne on from Washington yesterday morning with Detective T. B. McNamee, positively identified Ferguson as the man who had swindled him.
 According to pr. Shands story the prisoner represented himself to be Dr. Porcher of Charleston whom pr. Shands knew by reputation. He want ed money to pay his fare to Richmond, Va, where he said he had relatives. Dr. Shands wrote out acheck for s6, which the man indorsed with pr. Por- chers name and cashed. A few days later Dr. Shands found out that he had been swindled and that several other Washington physicians had been imposed upon in the same way. Dr. Porcher himself, on hearing of the matter, wrote a letter to the Medical Record exposing the man, and notices were published warning physicians throughout the country to look out for him. The prisoner was arrested here for obtaining money from physicians on the strength of a story that he had lost all his property in the Galveston flood.
 Ferguson has been living for some time at the Capitol hotel, Bowery and Houston street. He has not been positively identified as ex-Governor Moses, but Detectives Davis and Dunn assert that there is little doubt that he is the man. His appearance tal- lies very closely with the description of Moses in former Inspector Byrne's S book on Professional Criminals" " Governor Moses was a New Eng lander who, after graduating at Col umbia college, went south before the civil war and settled in Charleston, S. c. During the war he served in the confederate army and after its clcse identified himself with the re- constructionists, and finally became governor of the state. He was one of the most notorious of the carpet bagger governors of the south. and his acts while in office led at length to his removal. Since that time he has be- come we'll known as a swindler and all- round confidence man, and has served time in prison in Massachusetts and several other states.

MEN OF BRAWN
A Gathering of the Federation of
 Labor.

Louisville, Dec. Tt was an assem- blaze of brawny, fine-looking, intel ligent representatives of the toilers that greeted President Samuel Com pers this morning when he stepped to the front of the platform in Music Hall, and called to order the twentieth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor. Almost every trade and industry was represented by the scores of delegates and alternates occupying seats on the lower floor of the auditorium. The galleries were well filled with interested spectators, including a large number of women. The hall was handsomely decorated with flags, banners, and the labels and other insignia of the various organiza- tfons affiliated with the A. F. of L.
 Occupying seats on the platform were members of the executive council and other leading workers of the feder- alton. These included President Nit chell, of the United Mine Workers; P. J. McGnire, of Chicago; James Duncan, of Boston; Thomas J. Kidd, of Chi cago; Max Morris. of Denver; John B. Lennon. of Bloomington, H., and James O'Connor. of the International Association of Machinists. Occupy ing places of honor on either side of President Gompers were Peter Cur ran and John Weir, fraternal delegates to the convention from the British trades congress.
 The appearance of President Com perb and Secretary Morrison, escort ing the British labor leaders to the platform, was the signal for enthusi- astic applause. After quiet had been restored, the delegates listened to addresses of welcome by Mayor Wea- yer and William Higgins. the latter speaking in behalf of the labor unions of Louisville. Responses were made by President Gompers and several of the delegates. These formalities over,
