BLAMES ENGLAND AND AMERICA
British Official Lays Responsibility of
Failure of Police Conference or
Anarchy to Two Countries.
(By Associated p

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 8.-Says the London
correspondent of the Tribune:
A prominent official connected with
criminal prosecution Is authority for the
statement thar America and England
We're responsible for the failure of a
recent conference of police officials Of
European lowers di"ac.eu against an
archiE u.
IF our two countries" he remarked,
had been willing to restrict the privi-
leges of political asylum; anarchism
would have been doomed, for it's advo-
Gates would be driven out of one country
after another and compelled to abandon
their principles. Anarchists will be found
as long as England and America agree
to shelter and protect them. Let those
two doors be closed upon them and they
will disappear from the face of the
EARTH"
The eminent specialist quoted asserts
with emphasis that England made a Sc
rious mistake in rejecting the overtures
for international police measures against
the anarchists after the murder of the
king of Italy. and that they ought to
undo the mischief by re-opening negotia-
tions for conference. His remedy is
the expulsion of anarchists from every
continent

ANA' {'NDA
=, @,SGRACED
ROW IN THE CITY COUNCIL
CAUSES MUCH EXCITED
DISCUSSION.
ALDERMAN DENNIS O'LEARY AR
RESTED ON CHARGE Or THIRD
DEGREE ASSAULT.
SHELTER CITY IN STATE OF EX-
CITEMENT AND THE END
NOT YET,
Especial to Inter Mountain,

N NACONDA. Oct. s.-The trouble
~ in the city council last night
was the principal topic of discus
sion in Anaconda today. Regret
was was universally expressed that
such disgraceful affair should take
place in this city, but the trouble has
not yet ended and it is difficult to fore
tell what the result will eventually be.
This forenoon, acting under instruc-
tions from Mayor Stephens and City
Attorney Sawyer, a warrant of arrest
was sworn out in Justice Quane's court
charging Alderman Dennis O'Leary Of
the Sixth ward with the crime of as
sault in the third degree. alleged to
have been committed upon Alderman
Charles H. Williams in the city council
chamber of Anaconda on the evening Of
October I. 1901.
The warrant was Immediately placed
in the hands of Constable JAKE Rentz
who proceeded without delay to make
service upon the accused alderman.
Constable Rentz found Alderman
OLeary and he appeared before Justice
Duane shortly before II o'clock. O'Leary
took the statutory time of "a hours to
plead in order to consult counsel.
AS a result of the disgraceful row in
the city council chambers last night
Alderman O'Leary, who attacked Alder
man Williams, sustained the injury of
cash over the right eye, Alderman Will
Jams had a finger injured, which he
claims his assailant inflicted with his
teeth. Alderman Steuernable was hit
on the jaw by Williams, but suffered no
serious consequences. Steuernagle also
made an effort to reach Winams' face
but interference caused him to miss his
aim.
The trouble was the outgrowth Of an
opposition manifested against Mayor
stephens at the very beginning Of his
administration. 1t will be remembered
that Alderman Fred Gangner aspired to
become chief of police. Mayor Stephens
considering him unsafe, refused to ap-
point him
A majority of the aldermen were ia
vorable to Gangner. but were willing to
accept someone else, providing the
mayor would consult them as to his
other appointments. A temporary truce
was formed, but it lasted but a short
time. Matters continued to grow worse
and the breech kept getting wider until
at last, with some republicans arraigned
against him, reinforced by a few demo-
cratic members, the mayor has had an
opposition of a safe working majority.
Mayor Stephens has been una BILE to get
members of his own party to working
harmoniously all of which has tended
to lead up to last nights seance

MISS COURTNEy'S TtEATfR BOX PARTY

merry box party was in attendance
at the performance of The Henrietta"
'ast evening at Sutton's New Grand. A
larty of young ladies became the
guests of Miss Tesse Courtney, who won
the stage box given by the Inter Noun
tain to the most popular teacher in the
public schools of Butte. The party was
made up of Miss Courtney, winner of the
Inter Mountains prize her mother, who
acted as chaperone and Misses Stras-
berger. Healey, Driscoll. Seymore. and
Miss Madge Courtney. The party occu-
pied the lower right hand stage box and.
s"wned in white, presented pretty pic
ture to the vast audience rising tier ON
tier above them in the model playhouse.
The young ladies were rather late in
making their appearance at the, play.
Not until the first act was well under
way did the battery of opera glasses di-
rected toward the box disclose the much
admired group seated in the space re.

INDIGNATION IN BULGARIA
Patriotic Bulgarians Incensed at the
Government for Permitting Mace
donian Committee to Blackmail.
(By Associated Press.)


Phillipopolis, Bulgaria. Oct. S.-Public
interest in the fate of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the kidnapped American woman
missionary, intensifies here. There is
widespread condemnation of the govern
ment allowing such freedom to the Mace
donian committee as to enable it to en-
gineer the outrage.
Miss Stone resided here before she
went to Salonca, and she is we'll known
throughout the country. The patriotic
Bulgarians are incensed, as they recog-
nize that Miss Stone and her colleagues
of the American missionaries in Bulgaria
and Macedonia have been their best
friends throughout the troubles.
There Is no lack of indications that
Prince Ferdinand is imperiling his own
position by permitting such license to
the committee as to enable it to black
mail prominent people in support of the
Macedonian cause.
Consul General Dickinson. when here
on his way to Sofia. thought it probable
that if the brigands understand from
headquarters that the ransom would be
paid, they would release Miss Stone, as
the Macedonian cause would not be
helped by the murder Of the woman.

members of the company upon the stage
knew of the presence of the party in the
audience and an invitation from the
members of the company was sent out
to the prize stage box inviting its occu-
pants to inspect stageland behind the
big drop curtain. 1t was the courteous
greeting sent by the celebrities on the
stage to the young ladies in the box who
were venturing for brief period into the
conspicuous position occupied by public
favorites. Not one in the vast assembly
failed to note the appearance Of the
group of young ladies and the party bore
the inspection with becoming serenity.
OF the several thousand in the theater
last evening there were many who had
engaged in the coupon contest to the ex-
tent of sending in a portion of the 9,411
votes cast in the election of the most
popular teacher in the city. and they
seemed pleased with the luck of the
winner. The young ladies enjoyed the
play greatly and Joined with the rest in
the applause bestowed 0on the excel
lent performances
