The WARDNER TROUBLE.
A Witness Tells Of the Conduct Of Affairs
Tharo

Washington, February 21.-The in
vestigation Of the mining troubles and
conduct Of the United States forces in
Idaho last summer was continued to-
day before the house committee on mil
ltary affairs. Frederick c. Robertson
resumed the narrative begun yesterday,
giving the legal proceedings he adopted
in behalf of the imprisoned miners and
the difficulties encountered from the
military authorities, state officials and
the court. He said he was refused per-
missison to be present at the inquest of
those killed during the outbreak, and
was unable to communicate with the
accused miners as to their rights, al
though representatives of the mining
company were present. Throughout the
proceedings, the witness said, the mill
tary authorities were in control, and
United States soldiers guarded the i'm.
prisoned men. General Merriam was In
charge Of the "bull pen." The United
| States forces superseded the civil au'
thorities. They arrested men in no way
connected with the outbreak. There
were no warrants, and none of thu
usual forms Of law. The witness vii

THE SENATE.

Washington, February 21.-The SEN
ate committee on foreign relations to-
day ordered favorable report on the
treaty of reciprocity with France. The
committee did not take up the Hay
Pauncefote treaty relating to the Mica
raguan canal.
Consideration Of the Hawaiian gov
ernment bill was resumed.
THE HOUSE.
The house adopted the senate resolu-
ton authorizing the president to ap-
point one woman commission to repre-
sent the United States and the national
society of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution at the unveillng of the
statue of Lafayette at the Paris expo
sition.
The debate on the Porto Rican tariff
bill was resumed.
Mr.. Ray Of New York supported the
bill in an extended argument. He de-
MED that any act Of the president or
congress could extend the constitution,
as constitution over the territory
while it remained territory. The con-
stitution only covers states.
Mr.. Bromwell of Ohio was the first
Republican to oppose the bill. He said
only q few days ago the president in
formed the editor Of prominent Re-
publican paper that he still stood by
his recommendation in favor Of free
trade with Porto Rico. II he has since
changed his mind 1t was his solemn du-
ty to communicate the change to con-

MACRUM MINBADFAITH
The Late Consul Has Never Reported
to the Department That His Of
fetal Mail Was Opened.
STATEMENT TO PRESS FALSE
Secretary of State Hay Says That No
Secret Understanding Exists with Great
Britain and None Such Would
Be Possible.

Washington, Feb. 21.--The answer of
the state department to the house reso-
luton calling for information regard
ing certain charges made by late Consul
Macrum was transmitted to the house
to-day by the president. 1t Is signed by
Secretary Hay. The answer says:
Answering the first part of the resolu-
ton, the department Of state has been
in regular communication by mail and
telegraph with Charles q. Macrum, late
consul OF the Cn..rd a.a.es to Pretoria
since his entrance upon the duties OF
the office. The only instance Of COM
plant in respect to the transit Of malls
for Lorenzo Marques and Pretoria was
in November last, when a temporary
stoppage of malls occurred at Cape
Town, against which Macrum and the
consul at Lorenzo Marques protested.
At no time while at his post did Ma
crum report to the department any in
stance of violation by the opening or
otherwise of his official mail by the
British censor at Durham, or by any
person or persons whatsoever, there or
elsewhere. Neither has he so reported
since he left Pretoria, although having
ample opportunity to do 80 by mail
while on the way home, and in person
when he reported to the department up
on his return.
Answering the second part of the
aforesaid resolution, the undersigned
secretary Of state has the honor to say
that there Is no truth in the charge that
a secret alliance exists between the re-
public Of the United States and the en-
pire of Great Britain: that no form Of
secret alliance Is possible under the
constitution Of the United States, mas
much as treaties require the advice and
consent Of the senate, and, finally, no
secret alliance convention, arrange
ment or understanding exists between
the United States and any other nation.

COPPER In MORA COUNTY.
A District In Which Denver People Are
Operating,

0poIdtAue'
A comparatively new discovery Of
belt of copper bearing veins in a some
what peculiar formation has been made
by Denver people in Mora county, be-
tween Lucero and Guadalapita, on Coy
ote creek. They found some old shafts
sunk fifteen or twenty years ago. prob
ably for gold, and on the dumps picked
up many nuggets or nodules of solid
copper glance, rich in that metal. By
prospecting they found numerous veins
of like character outcropping at the
surface and traceable for miles by dikes
OF lime and porphyry, the veins lying
between. So these Denver hunters after
mineral organized corporation called
the Colorado and New Mexico Copper
Glance Mining Company, and on the
first Of the current month filed their
articles with the secretary of state as
the law directs. 1t Is composed of Chas.
T. Linton, D. A. Barton, of the Nation
al Bank of Commerce; P. P. Conner,
George Walrond and Fred Stanton.
Putting up the requisite funds they
sunk a shaft on one Of the nine claims
taken, which at last accounts was u
feet deep.
The vein has been traced for twelve
miles. All so far as exploited consists
of loose black or gray shale from 4 to
10 or 20 feet wide, plentifully sprinkled
with nodules or nuggets Of the finest
copper glance, ranging in size from
coarse shot to the size Of your fist
which assay from 4S to IS per cent cop
per- with little gold and silver. In ad-
| dition to the nodules mentioned there
are scattered through the mass of shale
stringers of copper assaying something
over u per cent. In sinking assessment
or discovery shafts the number and size
Of the nuggets increase with depth, and
1t Is believed a solid formation will be
found later on, below 100 feet perhaps,
AS to the matter of utilizing these prod
ucts, should further developments JUS
tify. copper matte smelter could be
located near the source. There Is plen-
| ty Of water, timber and coal not far
away, with heavy deposits Of iron near
by for use If needed. Meanwhile the ore
can be freighted from the railway sta
tion at Watrous to the Pueblo smelters
at s4 per ton where the treatment
charge is about IS per ton. Several
thousand pounds Of these copper nod
ules have been shipped to Denver. Tests
Of their value are now being made.
Rev. c. H. Pettibone, j. ". Walker
and c. 7. Linton have taken up six
claims outside Of those Of the Copper
Glance company Two men named Cape
and Osteen, who own four claims, have
taken out In developing one called the
