BERLIN, March 19-As bearing upon
the nature of Count Won Waldersee's re-
lations to the mutually hostile attitude
OF the Russian and British troops at
Tien 5Tsin the semi official Berliner Post
publishes the following inspired COM
munique:
The expression intervene might cause
a misunderstanding, but, as a possibility
of serious collision existed, which would
have inspired the Chinese with an un-
desirable idea as to the unity of the
Powers, Count Won Waldersee medlated.
He insisted in the first place that the
litigious parties should withdraw their
troops from the contested ground.
count Won Waldersee's action, how
ever, was merely dictated by military
reasons and undertaken in military
sense to prevent an exhibition of dis
creditable discord; and it has nothing
whatever to do with the settlement Of
the disputed questions, which lies out
side of Count Won Wa1dersee's sphere of
cOmDetence."

BUTTE As A MINING TOWN.
Has More M~iiIiOnaires than Any Other
City of the Same Size.


Butte is the most prosperous mining
city in the world" was the rather extrav-
agant statement of a stalwart. handsome
young man at the Grand Hotel yesterday
evening. However, he was apparently sin
cere in the statement. The speaker was
NJ. w. Mcdowell, who registered from
Butte. Mont. A few days ago he gave up
a position with the Armour Packing Com
pany of Chicago, TO go to Montana to take
charge of the general office of the Anacon-
da Copper Mining Company at Butte. Mar
Gus DAILY. the late Montana millionaire, was
at the head of this company, and backed
young Mcdowell in some financial invest
ments.
Mr.. Mcdowell is enthusiastic over the
great business prospects in Butte, a city
of 1900 people. He believes it is the COM
ing city of the middle Northwest. There
are 1900 miners in the city, and they work
every day in the year. An ordinary labor
er in the mines receives $3.50 a day for
eight hours work. Mr.. Mcdowell says
that Butte has more milliOnaires than any
city of its size in the world. There are
seven men in the city who are reputed TO
De worth a million and upwards. Among
them is Senator w. a. Clark, who is said
To be worth 500. 0 900. Mr.. Mcdowell says.
The trouble between Clark and DAILY, Mr..
ldCDOWtI STATES, was purely d pSISOlldl
matter, and now hat Clark has again sue
ceeded to a place in the Senate the people
are friendly enough to him. Mr.. Mcdowell
declares hat an area of one square mile
around Butte has produced $500. 900. 900 in
the last twenty-five years. One popularity
about the city is that mines are directly
under it. and miners sometimes work at a
depth of 1900 feet beneath their own homes.
For the most part the mines about Butte
produce copper, but enough silver and gold
are found with this metal to pay the smelt-
ing eXDenses.

SPECIAL EXAMINER IN TOWN.
a. G. Caine, of Washington, Talks In

A. C. Caine, of Washington, d. c., ex-
aminer for the Department of Justice. ar
rived in the city yesterday for a stay of
several days. Mr.. Game is here TO examine
the books and accounts of the clerk of the
United States Court, the marshal, district
attorney and the United States commits
sioner. He is staying at the Henison.
Mr.. Gaines work has for some time kept
him in New Mexico, where he says there
is great agitation over the question of
statehood. The people of the Territory
want to be taken into the Union of States
and have been holding meetings all over
the Territory for the purpose of agitating
this question. They urge that they now
have sufficient population to allow them to
become a State and that their representa-
tive in Congress can do more good for them
if they are known as one of the States. Mr..
Game SAYS that if New Mexico was made
a State to-day she would be overwhelming
ly Republican. The people Of the Territory
are great admirers of President Roosevelt.
one reason being that two companies of
his Rough Riders were organized in that
Territory.
The sheep question has also made the
people feel kindly toward the administTa-
ton, Mr.. Game says. The chief industry
in New Mexico seems to be sheep raising,
and under present conditions the sheep
owners are getting II cents a pound for
their wool, while the price TO be obtained
during the last year of Mr.. Cleveiand's
administration was 1-3 cents a pound. The
present Republican tariff bill is a satisfac-
tory one to the people of New Mexico.
Mr.. Game tells of one man in New Mex
sheep on his ranch. He is known as the
biggest sheep grower in the State.

while playing with other children around a

watched her larger playmates jump over
the fire and tried 10 emulate their daring
trick. She ran toward the fire and jumped
into the blaze. Her clothing caught fire
and before the flames were extinguished
she was seriously burned.
The screams of her companions attracted
a woman residing next door, who rushed to
the little one. She suffered severe burns
while dragging the child from the fire and
e~xtinguishing the burning clothing. Two
sisters of the burned child. aged eight and
eleven years, who were in the crowd of
children. had their hands severely burned
trying TO rescue their little sister. DR..

that her back from the knees 10 her hair
was badly burned. The child's condition is
critical.
