CHINESE REPORTS DOUBTED.
Pessimistie Feeling in London Regarding
the Fate of Foreign Legations In Pekin
Empress BIames Foreigners.

London, July 12.-Although Shang-
hal repeats the statement that both
the emperor and dowager empress
are alive and kilograms from Chinese
othcialdom again testify to the safety
OF the legations, the assertions no
longer stimulate hope here and pes
simism viii prevail as long as the au-
thorities, who, on their own showing,
are able to get messages to the coast,
fail to send confirmation of the safety
of the foreigners from some member
OF legation at Pelin. London sees in
the disappearance and temperance
OF prominent people at Pel1in and the
efforts apparently making to shift
the blame from one to the other, and
IN the attempts to represent them
selves as victims of instead of princi-
pals in the recent occurrences, only
preparations for alibis and defenses
in view of the approach of the troops
of the powers and the tragedy they
may discover on reaching the Chinese
capital.
DOw~ger Empress BIames Foreigners
Shanghai, July IAN edict of the
empress dowager, promulgated on
june 80, has just been published in
Shanghai. Her majesty expresses sor-
row for the death of Baron Won Ket-
teller, the German minister, who, she
says, went to the Tsung Ii Yamen on
the day of his death against her
wishes. Her majesty expresses regret
that the capture of Taku forts should
have complicated matters, but orders
that the boxers be suppressed and
the foreign legations in Pekin pro-
tected. The whole tone of the edict
is to hold the foreigners blamable
for the gravity of the crisis.

Common Pleas court Knocked Ont,

An important decision by the SUI
preme court last week was one de-
claring unconstitutional the court of
common pleas in Crawford and Cher
okee counties. The last Legislature
created this court. 1t was to be es-
tabished upon approval of the voters
of the two counties. A majority of
the votes cast were for the court, but
did not constitute a majority of all
the voters in the counties, which the
supreme court holds is necessary.
This deprives E. e. Sapp, of Galena,
of the job as judge.

TO Save HIS wire,s Property.

Several months ago j. C. Williams,
of Salina, was convicted of per-
jury. Pending an appeal his wife
pledged all her property to secure bail
for him and then he fed. His con-
science troubled him, however, at the
thought of his wife's financial ruin,
and last week he voluntarily surren-
dered to the Pinkertons at Kansas
City and was taken to Lansing to
serve his sentence.

The Abstraotor Is R..pon.lbIe.

Five years ago a mill at Salina was
traded for farm in Reno county.
The Reno county abstractor omitted a
50, 400 mortgage from the abstract for
the farm and the mill company had
it to pay. Suit for the amount was
brought against the abstractor. The
supreme court affirmed the judgment
of the lower court which held that
the abstractor was liable.

onoe-HoIder. and Paases.

A. I. Williams, general attorney for
the Union Pacific railroad, knocks
against ofice-holders riding on rail-
road passes. He frankly admits that
the roads do not give them passes as
matter of courtesy but in order to
keep them good and says that a
law should be passed prohibiting
office-holders from accepting passes.
Such law, he declares, the railroads
would like to see enacted This is the
way he puts it:
Kansas needs law prohibiting
offceholders from accepting railroad
passes. Public servants, as a rule,
arc paid better than any other class
of laborers, and there is no reason
why they should strike the railroads
for favors. 1t isn't courtesy that
prompts a railroad company to give
free transportation to judges, 1egis-
lators and other officials with their
raft of political helpers and kin; it is
to keep them good A Kansas rail-
road attorney is authority for the
statement that during one session of
the legislature, when an important
railroad bill was pending, he had re-
QuOoCS 1OI 4,OOO,OOO niles Oh transport
tation. Did the men who made the re-
quests believe they were entitled to
the transportation as a matter of
courtesy? Not much. They simply
worked their graft. The state pays
the fare of those who travel in the
performance of their du-ies, and those
who CAD for fun should be compelled
to buy tickets, like the people who
elected them have to do. 1t is said
that the railroads really want an anti
pass law, but are slow to suggest it
the army of passholders is so big, and
has SO much 'f1uence"

THE E MOUNTAIN.

The Lee Mountain, one Of the Oldest
mines in the Rimini district, Jefferson
county, is likely to be opened before long,
say the Basin Progress. William Tat
ham of Philadelphia, one of the owners,
is in Helena and has visited the property
during his stay. A great deal of high
grade ore was taken out in the early
days and was hauled to Fort Benton and
shipped east at a cost which only high
grade ore would stand. The mine has a
vein OF silver-lead concentrating ore so
feet wide between walls, with bodies of
high grade ore. and is developed to a
depth of 700 feet by a system of tunnels
and raises. The early owners took out
the high grade ore and a good deal of
concentrating.

a matter of speculation as to how they

New York advices are to the effect that
the market for Upper is quiet, and sales
are on Narrow -aes. Nevertheless,
values, according to surface appearance
at least. ave not relaxed. Spot lake
stocks are light and under close control
which enables sellers to maintain prices
more easily. The fixed quotation for lake
has been 1850 all the week.
Consumers hold off, and are tiding
themselves over until after election the
best they can. independently of how
things so here, Europe will want copper
from this country, but a Mckinley VIC
tory will mean a good demand from both
sides of the Atlantic.
Europe is, getting more Calumet &
Hecla copper lately than usual, n lake
supplies are so much less here. The Cal
u1net & Hecla has. taken hold of the for
eign trade in an extensive manner re-
gently, and, has done well with German
consumers on q large scale.
The copper market continues to hold
steady and firm. Business has been on a
slightly smaller scale during the past
week, but still large enough to readily
absorb all offerings of metal. A little

slight falling off in exports has had the
effect of causing some to hesitate with
the hope that the price might work u
little lower.
The London market has been
lively strong, but the small fluctuations
have been too frequent on the down side
to hold the confidence of buyers. AS a
whole, however; the weeks decline was
almost too small to mention. It's equiv

be about LIP of a cent per pound.
There has been practically no change
On the domestic market, except that sales
of lake copper were reported from relia-
BILE sources at II cents. The bid for this
grade of copper continues to be 16A

Step by step the superiority of electricity
over steam power, from the standpoint
of economy, is being proved. That 1t is
more satisfactory to the travelling pub
lie was long & demonstrated. If cleo

a motive power or the great trunk lines,
as the signs of the day now Indicate, it
unquestionably opens up a tremendous
future to the copper industry.
