sprung N the Henze- Amalgamated litigation
yesterday by Judge Clancy. of the DistSict
Court. who granted order permitting Heinze's
men 10 make a thorough inspection and survey

Heinze people to go into the Anaconda and St
Lawrence properties. and for period of ten

The order issued by Judge Clancy is the result
of a suit of long standing. wherein Heinze petit
toned for the permission to make this examina-
ton. In the complaint filed in that action Heinze
claimed that he owned half interest in the
Paramount mine, which adjoins the Anaconda
and St Lawrence, and that he had reason to be-
Ieve that his interests being encroached
by the Anaconda company. and that the latter
was mining from veins having their apexes
in that claim. The order to show cause why
this permission should not be granted was issued
about year ago. and the matter has been hang
ing fire since that time until the court made the
order requested yesterday
Following the order granted to Heinze to in
spect the Amagamated properties. Judge
Clancy. the request of the Boston and Mon

HAS MRS. DAILY SOLD OUT:
PERSISTENT RUMOR THAT SHE DISPOSED OF
COPPER HOLDINGS DENIED.

Butte. Mont, Dec S.-Persistent rumors have
been afoat here to-day regarding heavy losses
through investment in Amalgamated Copper
stock by Mrs DAILY widow of Marcus DAILY.
the copper king. Mrs. DAILY received by
the provisions of her husbands will many shares
in this giant company. and the story, which
comes from reliable sources in Butte, says that
the widow of the multi-mllionaire invested but
lars in the Amalgamated stock at top prices
ranging from 126 and 121 a share. The stock
began terrific decline, which carried with 1t
immense losses and Mrs. DAILY fearing the
resuIts not only disposed of her holdings
but also the stock which had been in the Daily
family since the organization of the Amalsa-
mated Company.
Mrs DAILY if the report be true, is the loser
by her recent investment of nearly two million
dollars and by her quick determination to sell
out the shares she held in the concern sent the
price of the stock on a downward course. which
stopped only after the lowest price on record was
reached in the marketing of the stock at IS.
In the face of the story of the sale of the Daily
estate stock John D. Ryan, vice-president of the
Daly Bank and Trust Company, says to-day tnat
he had received telegram from John c. Lalor
manager of the estate, in which he emphatlcaliy
denies the r, mors concerning the disposal of the
Amaleamated stock. Mr.. Lalor further said that
the Daly peopIe had the greatest faith IN the
Amalgamated and had no intention of selling
their holdings.

Power Of Induction.

A short time ago visitor from
western state entered the Office of John
E. Wilkie, chief Of the secret service
division of the United States treasury
department, bearing a letter of intro
duction from common friend. He was
accompanied by his daughter. remark
ably pretty girl. The girl had bad
bruise on her cheek near the corner OF
the right eye, and the visitor said smil-
ingly,-a as they We're leaving:

Purple and gold mingled with flashes of
every color of the rainbow dazzled his
eyes as the flock rose to the music of
their sweetest songs and settled in the
branches of an oak that stood almost on
the brink of the precipice.
A magnificent specimen of the feathered
colony, with plumage seemingly of
Thousand hues spread out in its most at
tractive form, perhaps to fascinate some
coquette of his kind, sailed above the
chirping throng and perched on bow
alone. This pleased Waynock, for as he
was great admirer of the birds, having
no desire to commit useless slaughter. he
was glad Of the opportunity to get shot
at single specimen.
Rising his gun to his face he quickly
fired, and the feathered beauty fell fiut-
>tering to the ground. Waynock ran for
ward to secure his prize, but 1t struggled
nearer to the edge of the bluff. In his
eagerness to grasp the bird he did not
notice how near he was drawing to the
brink of the terrible precipfce. Once he
had hand on one of the wounded beau

THEIR VISION IS NOT HAzY

Rear of the injunction
NATTER

"The stay which was granted by Vice.
Chancellor Pitney yesterday, in the
+ Amalgamated consolidation case" says
the Boston New England Statistfi "was
.variously interpreted. The effect of it is
to prevent the directors from consume
mating the consolidation without the
consent Of the stockholders and further
more the consent Of the stockholders
must be given at meeting of which Is
days notice has been given. The order
expressly states that no Interference Is
intended with the arrangement of the
terms Of the proposed combination. The
stay is in force until June 9, when the
court Of appeals will be in session to hear
arguments on an appeal from the former
order Of Chancellor Pitney dissolving the
injunction.
1T would seem therefore that if the
Amagamated directors decide to do SO
they can proceed with the negotiations.
announce the terms upon which the
Amalgamated will buy the Boston &
Montana and Butte & Boston companies
and call meeting of the stockholders to
authorize the purchase.
There is no reason to doubt that the
terms of the purchase will be ratified
by very large majority Of Amalgamated
stock, showing that the Heinze interests
who brought suits as holders of less than
per cent, of the total stock. do not rep
resent any considerable number OF shares
and bring into greater prominence the
fact that the suit is actuated by motives
entirely apart from the reasons named
in the application for the injunction. The
Judge seems to have been unwilling to
interfere with action by the Amalgamat-
ed stockholders, but at the same time
restrained the directors from taking ac-
ton without their knowledge. 1t was
good opinion that the Amalgamated COM
pany would proceed along the lines indi.
Gated. although there was no official an
nouncement and the belief is almost uni
yersal that the consolidation will take
place sooner or later.

been on the sleeper for two days. for you
told me SO early in your conversation
here. The bruise is not a very fresh one.
so it seemed almost certain that the ac-
cident occurred from a fall on the train,
as much as. and not more than, 48 hours
ago. My reasoning is quite simple. you
see."
Both visitors expressed their amaze
ment and took their leave. The father
then went to the Office of one of the
higher officials Of the treasury depart
ment and in a straightforward way ex-
planned that he had called to express
his appreciation of the chief of the
secret service.

said, land in my short interview I am
convinced that he is the best man who
ever occupied the place.
The official spoke about the matter to
Mr.. Wilkie the next day. and the chief
told of the visit and Of the supposed
detective incident.

said he, land I must write a letter to
that man. I didn't think it was going

DISCOVERY OF EXTRAORDINARY
PLANT.

WHAT is probably the most ex-
I " traordinary plant ever discovered
has now been found by E. A. Suverkrop.
OF Philadelphia, who, during trips to
South America has for some years been
contributing to the collection of his
friend Prof. N. L. Brown, of the Her
barium. Kew Gardens London. The
amazing plant which Mr.. Suverkrop has
now found is an orchid that takes
drink whenever it feels thirsty by letting
down tube into the water, the tube.
when not in use, being coiled up on top
of the plant.
'One hot afternoon" says Mr.. Suver-
krop, II sat down under some brush
wood at the side of lagoon on the Rio
Gle la Plata. Near at hand was forest
of dead shOrn trees, which had actually
been choked to death by orchids and
climbing cacti. In front of me, and
stretching over the water of the lagoon
and about a foot above it, was a branch
of one of these dead trees. Here and
there clusters of common 'planta del
syre' grew on it and network of green
cacti twined round it.
Among the orchids noted one differ
ent from the rest, the leaves sharp
lancehead shaped. growing all round the
root and radiating from it. From the
center or axis of the plant hung long
slender stem about one-eighth of an
inch thick by one-fourth inch wide, the
lower end of which was in the water to
depth of about four inches.
II at once went over to examine my
dis covery. Imagine my surprise, when
I touched the plant. to see this center
stem gradually contract and convulsive-
~ roll itself up in a spiral like a roll Of
tape .
But more surprising yet was the OBJ
ject and construction of this stem 1
found on close examination and dissec-
ton that it was long slender fiat tube,

cellular in construction, open at the
outer end and connected at the inner
end to the roots by series of hair like
tubes
by subsequent observation I found
that when the plant was in want Of
water this tube would gradually unwind
till it dipped into the water Then it
would slowly coil round and wind up,
carrying with it the amount Of water
that that part of the tube which had
been immersed contained. until when
the final coil was taken the water was
dumped, as it were, direct into the roots
of the plant. The coil remained in this
position until the plant required more
water. Should the plant, however, be
touched while the tube is extended, the
orchid acts like the sensitive plant
(mimosa) and the coiling action is much
more rapid.
II found many of these plants, all
directly over the water or over where
the water had been. In the latter case
it was almost pitiful to see how this
tube would work it's way over the
ground in search Of the water that was

to roll from under his body. He saw the
bird disappear and he felt himself slid

against the slipping surface. Cold prespi-

realized that his heart had ceased to

darkness surrounded him. He rolled over
on his breast and threw his open palms

precipice. A mean of despair reached his
ears, aud, as he looked among the still
trembling bows so far above the water,
he recognized the body of a man.
An mixing of the truth flashed across
his mind. Certainly someone had fallen
over the bluff. and the body had lodged
among the cedars on the ledge, 800 feet

all the power of his lungs, and, to his
