activity, despite the fact that this vas
Sunday. The executive council was IN
secret session for several hours, but
nothing was given out for publication.

the Amalgamated Association Of Street
Railway Employees, was in frequent
conference with local labor leaders who
are directing that Mr. Mahon and
President Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers @ill be delegated by the executive
council to take charge of the strike.
A delegation from the Allied Build
ing Trades of Philadelphia arrived
here during the day and held an in
tervieW with Mr. MahOn on the street
railway situation in that city. whare
a strike is said 10 be among the prob
abilities of the near future. The con-
ferees desired a plan OF Cancellation by
which an attempt viii be made 10
bring together the Amalgamated assC-
citation and the rival organization
known as the Philadelphia Street Rail
way Employees association.
The Metal Trades Federation held
another meeting and discussed plans
for perfeCting the organization. Nine
of the fifteen eligible metal trades
unions in the United States were rep

convention viii remain in session for
the next six days. Probably the most
vital question that viii come before
the convention is that of trade aUton-
omy. The brewery workmen and the
mine workers delegates probably viii
be the storm-centeT on this question.
Both of these trade unions want in
dustrial autOnomy-tha is, they advo-
cate that all trades in one industrial
establishment should form one Organi-
zation for the better advancement of
the condition OF all. They also an
nounoe that they viii oppose trade
autonomy TO the bitter end.
Nearly d dozen resolutions on the
matter Of the exclusion Of Chinese

possessions are in the hands of a spe-
cial committee. This committe, prob

bodying all the good points in them. It

commencing President Roosevelt for
advocating IN his annual message the
continued exclusion Of Chinese.
There has been no development in
the GompeTs- Mitchell-ShafeF cOntrO-
versy. which grew out of the steel
strike. Diligent inquiry failed to con-
firm the rumOr that the matter viii
be threshed out on the floor of the
convention. The principals OF the af-
fair maintain an absolute silence
At this time it seems reasonably GER

A military commission has sentenced
the Filipino general. Isid0r Torres. TO
be hanged after finding him guilty of
ordering the assassination Of Corporal
FIeldler, Of the Twelfth infantry at

doubt whether General Torres person

American soldier. General Chaffee
thinks that the high rank occupied by
Torres in the insurgent army would

DISCOVERED IN MONTANA
lSneciaI ii - Heraldl

Butte, Mont Dec. S-A new and Won
derful natural cave. and believed to be
one of the largest known has just been
discovered in the canyon of the Jefferson
on the line of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, about fifty miles east Of Butte A
partial exploration of il has been made by
d Butte newspaper man and a small
party. Several days were spent in the
cave and explorations made covering an
extent of ten miles or more and TO a
depth Of nearly 1000 feet.
A large river with a cataract of about
100 feet was explored for a distance of
several miles without discovering its
source or outlet. A few articles of stone
and copper utensils and some bones, be
lieVed 10 be human bones were also dis
covered in one OF the large apartments
explored. There were other evidences
that at some time i'm q prehistoric
period, the cave was used as a habitation,
the belief of J. w Gilbert, "A scientist
with the party OF explorers, being that
an earthquake closed the entrance to the
cave and killed its inhabitants
The present opening TO the cave was
made by some lime Quarrymen at a point
1880 feet above the bed of the jefferson
river while engaged in blasting rock
The formation of stalaCtite and other
natural decoration throughout the cave
are pronounced the most beautiful and
varied ever seen. A more thorough ex-
plOFatiOn is 90 be made as soon as proper
equipment for descent and extended stay
can be provided.
