stronger. in favor of its acceptance.

wishes of the United States. however,
is being urged solely because the ex-
igencies OF the case make such a
course desirable.
The Cuban people are becoming tir-
ed OF the convention and are clam
oring to have it do one thing
or the other. The knowledge that
many of the delegates are not of the
same mind for two days running
makes forecast Of their action i'm:
possible. and at the same time brands
any intermediary show of sentiment
as inconsequential.
The National party. after having
considered two nights ago a motion
whereby all those accepting the Plat
amendment were to be branded as
traitors. cheered one of those at whom
the motion was aimed, Delegate Rose

York, the evidence in the hands of the
authorities is such as to leave no
doubt as to his connection with the an
archist cause and as to his project to
accomplish the destruction of both
the quirinal and the lives of those
housed beneath its roof, the king and
queen first and foremost.
The greatest secrecy is maintained
about the matter. but SO great Is the
alarm which has been created in the
court and officials that 1t is doubtful
whether the tunnel beneath the quirin-
al will be thrown open to tram car
traific as long as the palace contin-
ues to be occupied as the headquar-
ters OF the sovereign of Rome:
At the time when King Humbert
granted permission to the tramway
companies to run the tunnel beneath
the palace he was warned by the po-
lice OF the danger which it would pre-
sent. since it would be an easy thing
for any passenger riding through the
tunnel on one of the surface cars to
drop unseen some Internal machine
which in five or ten minutes would ex-
plode blowing the palace above into
ruins.

The fortune Of politics retires Ell.
ward U. Woieott from the senate and
substitutes Thomas N. Patterson for
him. This is decided loss to tho
Republican party Of the country. Mr..
woicott was one Of the ablest and
most eloquent members Of the upper
chamber. For his devotion to the Re-
publican party at time Of great peril
to its policy. he deserves the gratitude
OF every member Of the party through
out the country. II was this hero
ism and fidelity which has beaten him.
Had he gone over 10 the Bryanites In
loso with Teller. he would be re-elect-
ed nj the present time. and might
count on holding his seat as long ms
he would consent to serve. But even
in the present situation there is a
chance that he will be sent back to
the senate at some time In the near
future. Colorado is swinging back
to the place where. 1t stood before the
fopuiist and Bryanite cross-current
injected itself into politics, and th,a
Is likely to mean return Of woicott

" hen one stops to consider the
amount OF giant powder that Is ship
ped into Butte every month. and Of
the great danger necessarily attend
ant upon handling 1t. the conclusion
must certainly be that none but care.
rui hands are entrusted to the care OF
this great explosive. The mines OF
Butte alone consume more than 250,.
UsU pounds OF giant powder each and
every month. Over one-half of this
amount is used by the Anaconda COM
pany. This company almost entire
ly uses what Is known as 80 per cent
powder. Many OF the other compa-
nies are content to use 45 per cent.
In biasting. the ground has every
thig to do with the grade and the
amount OF powder used. 1t Is not an
unusual thing to drill holes to a depth
OF ten feet, and in some few instances
to greater depth, but as a rule a
hole. say six feet. may be considered
about the average. Such hole will
take about ten sticks Of giant powder.
In the large companies where there
is room these drill holes are about
two inches in diameter and the sticks
OF powder are one and one-quarter
inches. Every one OF the big CON-
panies must necessarily carry large
