MOUNTAIN is MOVING.
Old Miner Claims Anaconda Hill Has
.." Moved Seven Feet.

mOvSO 0cNCn fSSts
Butte, Mon, Sept. 25-The Never
Sweat, one Of the principal producing
mines of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company, has shut down. Four
hundred and fifty men were employed
in the mine The shutting down was
made necessary by damage done the
shaft and engines by slide of the
earth. displacement of fully seven
inches having occurred in the last few
months. The foundation of the big
hosting engine, which was put down
at a cost of $4,000, has been broken
and showed out sof place. MI.
1t is generally believed that the
movement of the earth is due to the
mining excaations,v but many mining
engineers and biologists claim that
the movement of the Anaconda hill
is similar to the movements that have
caused displacements in different
parts. of the city of Butte for number
of years, and is caused by a gradual
and continuous sliding motion of the
entire mountain range about Butte.
An old mining man is authority for
the statement that within his recollec-
tion the top of Anaconda hill has NOV
ed no less than seven feet to the south
and west. r
The Never Sweat mine will remain
closed until the shaft and the engine
foundations can be rebuilt.

of this city, who lad charge of the

It had been expected by the govern

the statement of Commander Bates
concerning the reversal of the engines
of the Texas. During the short time
that he was on the stand Commander
Bates was asked few questions. One
of these was by Captain Parker and
was in regard to the steam log Of the

Commander Bates said the log had
been written up the day after the bat.

The other questions were by the
court and related first to the coal sup.
ply of the Texas on May 26, 1898, and,
second, to the condition of the ma
chinery of the Texas on the 31st of
that month. The questions of the
court and the responses to them were
as follows:
"Are you positive that the quanti-
ty Of coal reported on hand May 26
was correct?"
Eyes sir, as nearly as anybody car
be positive. There was no accurate
means Of weighing what was sent US,
and generally there is no absolutely
accurate means by which coal is
weighed coming aboard ship. All ma
val officers know that coal Is weighed
to the best of our ability and an &C
curate account kept to the best of our
ability and it is generally good esti-
mate. We weighed out in the same

ANTI-oUAY CONVENTION.
BoIting Republicans Will Join With
Democrats,

Democrats.
Philadelphia, Sept 25.-State and
city conventions of the Union party, :
organized in opposition to the regu-
lar Republican organization of Penn
sylvania, were held in this city during
the day. The aim of the state conven-
tion, which was held at the Academy
of Music, was to accomplish fusion
with the Democratic party against the
Republican ticket recently named at
Harrisburg. This purpose was partly
consummated by the Union party
naming Judge Harman Yerkes, who
heads the Democratic ticket, as the
candidate for supreme court Judge.
State Representative E. A. Coray,
Jr., Independent republican,, who
was an active leader of the anti-Quay
forces in the last legislature, was
named for state treasurer. 1t is stated
by the leaders of the Union and Dem
ocratic parties that within a few
weeks Andrew J. Palm, the Democrat
ic nominee for state treasurer, wiz re-
tire from the ticket in favor of Mr..
Coray, thus making fusion complete
and clearing the way for straight
out fight between the regular Republi-
can organizations and the elements
that are opposing it. .. .~

News Creates CONSERVATION.
The announcement of Judge Will
sons death created CONSERVATION not
only among members of the court, but
among the spectators, and some min
utes elapsed before people generally
would accept the report. The Judge
had been present in court the previ-
GUS day and while he had not partic-
pated to any great extent in the pro-
ceedings he had appeared physically
active and wideawake to all that was
said and done. The report first reach
ed Mr.. Rayner in the shape of ru-
NOR a minute or two after Machinist

ond witness, had been put on the
stand Captain Parker and Mr..

Immediately went to the telephone.
They returned in few moments say
ing that the report had been con-
,firmed. Mr.. Rayner then made his
announcement to the court and asked
an adjournment for the day.
All the members of the court, in
cluding counsel for the government
and for Admiral Schley, expressed the
utmost surprise and sorrow over the
news, while Admiral Schley himself
said:
"The news is so shocking that can
not trust myself to give expression to
my estimate of the man. can only
say that / have lost not only clear
headed and brilliant counsel, but also
a dear and much-beloved friend. ]
am shocked beyond measure at the
news and find myself almost unable
to accept the report"

Wilson's death had occurred at 11:08
a. m. at the Shoreham hotel and that
it had been due to acute Indigestion
and kidney affectation.

DULUTH is GROWING.
New Directory Figures Indicate q
Heavy Increase.

Duluth, Sept. 25.-The forthcoming
1901 directory of the city of Duluth
will show a substantial increase in
population, according to the manager
of the directory company. 1t contains
24,164 names, which, by the multiple
of 2 IL, indicates a population of Co.
80. This is an increase of $500 over
last years directory figures, and of
1900 over the figures for the census of
1900. The directory issued last fall
showed an increase of about 1000 over
the census taken in the spring, and it
was believed that the directory figures
then expressed the true condition, the
population having increased that
much during the summer of 1900.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Indiana Expects TO Furnish the Candi-
dates for Both Parties.

CHICAGO. Feb pa special to the
Post from Washington says:
Mention of the name of Tom John
son. Of Ohio. in connection with the
next Democratic nomination for the
presidency, has revived presidential
gossip here. and just at present India
ma is receiving a great amount cf at
tention from the prophets.
Senator Chas. w Fairbanks has bsen
much talked of as the Republican nom
inee and a goodly sized rumor credits
him with having sufficient strength To
land him safely in almost any party
position he may seek. AS companion
piece to the Fairbanks gossip comes
the story that Indiana is likely TO be
made the 1904 battle-ground through the
nomination by the Democrats OF Sam
uel E. Morss, publisher of the Indian
apolis Sentinel.
Already Indiana newspapers are gos-
siping about the possibility of two
presidential candidates from the state.
At the Kansas City convention last
year, as the Indiana member Of the
resolutions committee, Mr.. Morss form
ed the 1s TO l opposition. But despite
his open opposition TO the silver ele-
ment he supported the nominee and the
tisket personally and with his newspa-
per and because of this he is regard
ed by many Democrats as a happy
medium between the silver men and
the gold men who refused to support
the ticket.
Mr.. Morss was consul general to
Paris during Cleveland's second term.
He is a man Of much culture and wide
experience, is a strong writer and an
orator of more than ordinary ability.
Aside from his foreign appointment, he
has never held a political Office and
has refused nominations by his party
many times.
Just now Mr.. Morss is in Mexico
or Central America and numerous at
tempts to secure from him an pres
sion of opinion as to his possible pres
idential candidacy have failed, and his
return tc this country is awaited with
much interest by the Indiana Demo-
Gratis in congress who are anxious to
know what he will have to say.
