cut out much that was irrelevant In the
answer of Mr.. O'Reilly and leaves less
for the plaintiff to reply to in the next
move in the legal fight. The cases which
are now attracting the attention of the
public show the disposition on both sides
to fight as long as there Is anything to
fight about. Moore, IN the suit referred
to, sues for $4,000, which he declares
O'Reilly obtained from the company
through fraud. He declares that the com.
pany would not bring suit against
O'Reilly, and that he was obliged to.
O'Reiliy, who has recently filed suit In
the courts here charging Z. Z. LytIe with
appropriating considerable money which
belonged to the company, says Moore Is
bringing the action IN behalf of Mr.. Lytle,
and so the battle wages. What will be the
outcome is hard to say. A motion to
make the complaint more definite in the
suit of J. n. Fox against James W.Webb
was denied by Judge Cleland this morn

SALE OF THE NORTH POLE MINE
Rrmors Regarding the Transaction Still
Floating Around.

Unusually persistent are the rumors OF
the pending sale of the North Pole mine.
The report gained currency over a month
ago, and notwithstanding "poo 'hoos' and
"nonsense" from officials connected with
the mine management, the runors will
not down and are given credence by min
ing men of some authority.
Color is added to the idea by the recent
thorough examination OF the property by
Experts Parrish and kehoe, who are
known to be connected with the British
American corporation, ,one OF the strongest
financial institutions OF the trans border
country. They quietly came into this
camp, moved about practically "incog -

tn, senate BY Senator Frye If Maine,
known as the Ship Subsidy bill should
be- defeated TO pass it would mean to
donate t. American ship builders the
sum of $1,000 ao annually for building
ships. The simple question in this in
famous scheme is il it right to tax the
American people to enrich q particular
class of men who conduct a particular
business. It's understood that the Sub
sidy bill is pet one Of the notorious
Hanna. He Is the legislative Shylock
whowoul1 fitch from Peter to pay Paul.
What business has congress TO take
money raised for the specific purpose OF
meeting the nee, s-ities Of the general
government then turning it over topper
sons in iudu. trial life tomake their in
vc,tIu nrs profitable If zhipbuilders
cannot build ships ut a profit without
calling on government assistance then
they shouldn't be built 1t is radically
wrong. from any viewpoint you choose
to look at il there is no justification in
such course, hence the bill should 20
down into inevitable defeat
But the Subsidy bill is a part of the
policy Of the Republican party,
industries from the earnings
IF the common people The same party
which seeks to enrich the ship builders
IF the East, has for many years imposed
upon the tax papers heavy burdens in
he nature Of putting heavy imports on
incoming goods. They tax foreign manu-
actured goods not for revenue but for
protection. The workingmen must pay
he piper The protection is not for him
1ut for the man he works for just the
