Mark Hanna is alarmed over the
growing indications Of republican de-
feat this fall. Fear has seized the
camp OF the republican national com
mittee. and the party boss has begun
to use the whip on the party work
ers. The big republican loss shown
in the Maine election. following on
the heels of the decreased majority
secured by the q. 0. II. in Vermont.
has served as the cause for peremP-
tory orders having been issued for
every henchman of the party to get
out and hustle. Hanna has quietly
begun the squeezing OF campaign
funds from western monopolists and
trust directors. Word has been
passed along the line that contribu-
tons or pledges must be forthcom-
ing during the ten days the head of
the party is in Chicago.

TO afford relief the republican con-
gressmen in caucus led by Maj. Nc
Kinley resolved to give relief 10 the
farmers by the passage Of bill au
thorizing the free coinage Of both gold
and silver on the ratio of 16 to /.
This bill passed the house, but
through the influence of Senator John
Sherman failed to become a law. but
compromise was effected known ns
the Sherman act. This act increased
money at the rate Of about $500. 900
a month. The notes issued represent
ing the silver dollars were also full
legal tender except when otherwise
stipulated in the contract. In the de-
hate in congress at this time William
Mckinley. now president of the Unit
ed States. said:
II am for the largest use of silver in
the currency of the country. ! would
not dishonor it. but would give IL

Industrial development and commerce
took great strides forward. Farmers
imported improved breeds of live stock

duced the Irvine binder and other
great agricultural inventions. As q re-

The Cause of Free Silver.


YER legislation was by many erro-
neously attributed TO the tariff act"
Hon. Jerry Rusk, secretary OF ag.
ricuiture during the Harrison r.lmin-
istration, also said, on page 5, report
OF 1890:
THE recent legislation looking to
the restoration OF the bimetallic
standard Of our currency, and the
consequent enhancement Of the value
Of silver, has unquestionably had
much to do with the recent advance
of wheat in Russia and India, and
in the same degree reduced their pow
err OF competition. English gold was
formerly exchanged for cheap silver.
and wheat purchased with the cheaper
metal was sold in Great Britain for
gold. Much of this advantage is lost
by the appreciation Of silver in these
countries. IL is reasonable, there
fore. to expect much higher prices
for wheat than have been received
in recent years"

Butte Undertakers Paid Last Tribute
to One Of the Craft.

The remains of w. ]. Liddicoat were
shipped to Denver over the Oregon Short
Line yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
and We're accompanied by Thomas Lid
dicoat. brother Of the deceased.
The deceased was an old time under
taker and all the undertakers of Butte
turned out to pay their last tribute to
their departed brother. They congre-
gated at Richards undertaking rooms at
3:15. where services were conducted by
Rev. Blackiston. The remains were en-
cased in a costly and handsome steel
gray casket with massive ornaments
and was decorated with beautiful floral
onerings, the most noticeable of which
was the Gates Ajar," contribution
from the undertakers Of Butte.
From Richards undertaking rooms to
the depot. the hearse was preceded by
the following funeral directors of Butte:
John @. Lucas, James Tachell, Thomas
Sullivan, William knight, Warrington
Richards, Joseph Richards, Larry Dug
gan and M. D. Giffin. who acted as es-
corts and also as pail bearers and pre-
sented fine appearance, all being
dressed In neat black suits and silk hats,
their appearance being all the more con-
spicuous from the fact that they all wore
Prince Albert coats. At the depot the
casket was placed in an oak zinc lined
box. and soon, all that was left Of what
was so short time ago so full of life and
vigor, was speeding away on it long
journey to be finally placed in it's last
resting place.
w. J. Liddicoat was born in England
about 30 years ago, and came to Colo
rado when very young, where he resided
for at least twenty years. and was a
member of the National Funeral Direc-
tors Association of Colorado. He
worked for Mr.. Ed. Harris, undertaken
of Central City, Colorado, for six or
seven years, and was known all over the
state of Colorado as a man who was mas
ter of his business and was respected
and liked by all with whom he came in
contact, being one of those whom to meet
was to like. He came to Butte about
eight months ago, and about three or
four months ago went to Anaconda and
entered the employ of Mr.. Ehret, the un-
dertaker, but returned to Butte in about
three months, where he contracted a Sc
we're cold and was first attacked with
typhoid fever and finally pneumonia and
suffered intensely for three weeks. He
finally succumbed to the dread disease

Many Millions Of Tons Of This Ore
Blocked Out in Various Mines

Prof. B. Sadtler, a prominent mining
man of Denver, Col. arrived in town
yesterday and is registered at the Butte.
He will remain here for about a month
looking after the details of project
which may tend to develop on a large
scale hitherto neglected resource of the
state.
Prof. Sadtler has a process for extract
ing zinc from ore and from the dumps
of silver, copper and other mines pro-
ducing ores which carry zinc which has
already brought him to the front in the
mining world, a process for which he
now holds 3S patents in all parts of the
world. 1t is stated that there are at
least 100000 tons of zinc ore blocked out
and on the dumps in this state, and the
plan of those interested is to erect
smelter for the reduction of this ore, A
large amount of fuel is necessary for the
extraction of each ton Of the ore, and
for this reason the smelter will be locat-
ed where fuel can be obtained the most
cheaply rather than to haul fuel to the
regions of the mines. where the ore is
found in the largest quantities. This site
has already been selected. but for OBJ
vious reasons the projectors do not care
to say at present what point they have
selected for the smelter.

Hewett have secured the rights for this
state and will erect the smelter under
