COULD BE STRENUOUS.
But Roosevelt Says the Sluggers Were
Not Honest.

Chicago. Jan. 9.-Vice-President-e elect
Roosevelt, in an interview on prize fight
ing published in the Tribune, says:
Boxing might have been going on in
New York right now if the men who had
charge OF the clubs had handled it with
care. They made mistake by not stop
ping contests when they had become
brutal. or when it was manifest to all
that one of the contestants had no pos
sible chance of winning
He cited the Jeffries-Sharkey bout,
which. he said, should have been stop
pee! al the end of the twent y-third round
AS it became brutal after that, and
SIarkev had no chance"
Governor Roosevelt characterized the
Mccoy Corhett fight as 'sell-out' and
added that there are only a few honest
fighters"

THE COLO Of
CLARKE FORK
RED LODGE COMPANY TO Elk
TRACT THE METAL BY
MEANS OF DREDGES.
MEMBER OF COMPANY
EN- ROUTE TO CHICAGO,
Twelve Miles of the Stream Will Be
o. Secured and Work Will Begin
in the Spring.

Mr.. l.. p. Sicher of Red Lodge, who
is interested in a dredging proposition,
having for its object the extraction of
gold from the bed of the Clarke Fork
stream, is in the city Ell route to Chi
cago, where he will make the final ar
rsngements with the company formed
to take hold of the proposition.
Among the Montana people inter-
ested in the enterprise are Tom F. Pol
hard, DIR. Lutz, j. NJ. Siegfried and j. M.
Garrison of Red Lodge. The company
owns about tW elve miles of placer
ground on the Clarke Fork, extending
from near the Chance bridge to the
mouth of the Little Sand Coulee.
The fact that there We're few claims
intervening which the company did not
(OrlrOl did not at the time seem of
vital Importance to the members of the
company. They only came to a realiZa>
ION OF the Importance Of this fact when
a few weeks ago they invited repre-
sentat!ves of the Chicago Dredging and
Development company to look over the
proposition with view of putting in
one of their dredges to work the UNI
dOubtedly rich sands. The cOmpany's
representative. after paying visit to
the Clarke Fork. i'm company with some
of the Interested gentlemen, expressed
his faith in the richness of the sands,
believing that they would undoubtedly
pay well in dredging. The great OBJ
stacle to his company taking hold of
the proposition was the fact that the
Red Lodge company did not control the
stream uninterruptedly for the full
twelve miles. 1t Is necessary in dredg-
ing to work up the river. If the dredge
came to a portion of the stream hello
by other parties as a placer claim, it
could not proceed further, and the ex-
pense of taking the whole apparatus
and packing it overland to a point
above where they could resume opera
tions would be very apparently un-
feasible and would destroy the profit
of the mining. There We're other minor
considera tons upon which they could
not agree.
g., With unquestionable faith in the en-
terprise, the Red Lodge people set to
work quietly to get control Of the claims
which caused the difficulty. They have
been successful in all cases except
where a strip of two miles is controlled
by Governor Diedrich of Nebraska. 1t
is not believed that there will be any
great trouble in securing t:ie right to
operate ON this claim also.
If Mr.. Sichler is successful in his mis-
sion, work will begin in the spring.

BRlTAIs'S CHIEF RIVAL.
Earl Roseberry Warns England
Against American Enterprise.

London, January 16.-Earl Rose
berry, responding TO a toast to his
health this evening at the annual
banquet of the Northampton
chambe OF commerce, spoke of the
great commercial warfare being
waged against England.
The chief rivals TO be feared. said
his lordsqip, ARE America and Ger
many. The Americans, with their
vast, almost incalculable resources,
their acuteness and enterprise. and
their huge population. which will
probably be 100, 900, 900 i'll twenty
years, together with the plan they
have adopted for putting accumu-
lated wealth into great Cooperative
~yndicates or trusts for the purpose
Ofcarrying on this great commercial
Warfare, are, perhaps. the most for
midable.
''On the other hand, the Germans.
with their calculating and conquer
ing spirit and the energy with which
they sleze and use the best and most
economical methods. are but little
less redoubtable than the Americans.
The Americans. scarcely satisfied
with gigantic individual fortunes.
use these by combination TO make OF
capital a power which, welded by
one or two minds. is almost irresiSt-
ib!e: and, ii this power Is concentrat-
ed against Great Britain in trade
warfare, it will b. a danger we can
not afford TO disregard.
"A trust of many millions might
compete with any trade in England
undertaking all her products at a
cOnsidera bic loss This il a possible
outcome of the immediate future. 4
curious feature, if | may say so with
out impertinence, seems TO be that
in combination with the faculty OF
the acquisition of money, there l. a
complete contempt for money except
as a means of making more, and for
power These miIlionaires of whom
we hear so much are often men Of
simple lives, whose simple rule is to
make Accommodations in order to az
quire more power.
England. i'm order 10 withstand
international competition, must
thoroughly educate her youth.

CREEK INDIANS ON
THE WAR PATH.
Disafected Reds, in Large Bands, Are
Attacking Members of Their
Own Tribe.

Eufaula, |. T., Jan. 17.-Deputy
Marshal Grant Johnson rode into
Euiaula this evening with the news
that the disaffected Creek Indians,
known as the "Snake band" are up
in arms and are riding the country
Winehesters in hand, whipping and
maltreating peaceful Indians. John
son ran across a band OF fifty head
ed by John Greek, yesterday near
Proctor. They were armed to the
teeth and were arresting some Creeks
Of this part OF the country, whom
they took to Hickory Ground, their
headquarters, and whipped.
These people it is sail on good au-
ihority, have killed one man who
resated arrest. The marshal says
the country west OF here is in an up
roar, that several bands of disaffect-
ed Indians, numbering about fifty
each, are out and are claiming to be
the legally constituted authority in
the nation and have elected an indie
pendent Chief Council and other Off
GERS and the peaceable people have
applied to the United States author
tiles for protection.
These Indians are all full blOOds,
ignorant and stubborn. They are
the anti-treaty party, and say they
will make no treaty and will not al
low any Creek Council to ratify one.
Soldiers may be necessary to put
them down, and there is widespread
alarm here as to what they will do
next
