The open Mil Policy.

An officer Of one of the New York
City banks says that there is "only
one explanation" for the present east
ness of the money market in this
country, and that that is 'the undoubt-
ed general prosperity and the growth
of the country in wealth." The Of
dcer of another bank attributes 1t to
more money than ever it had" The
fact that the country has more mon
ey than ever before Is the direct re-
suit of the general business prosper
ity. For the last four years the
United States has been prominently

The crew of the freight engine

impending catastrophe by remaining

Strikes Freight Train on Heavy Curve.
Engineer Killed.

Ottumwa, Ill.,, May 6.-Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy passenger train No.
3, while passing Thayer, a small town
IL miles east of Creston, struck the
engine attached to a freight train
which was endeavoring to get out of
the way by backing onto a side track.
The passenger train was derailed,

Burlington and injuring 30 people.
A.4e names of only 70 are obtainable.
All but the two real cars of the
passenger train left the rails and
rolled down a 2O-foot embankment.
Owing to the fact that both tracks for
a great distance are heavily curved
neither engineer could see the other
train until within 200 feet of each
other. The engineer of the freight
heard the passenger coming and made
frantic endeavors to back his heavy
train onto the side track. He had sue

REACHES new MARK
Northern Pacific Stock Attains Fig
ures Predicted for 1t by
Hill.

New York, May Soon after
Northern Pacific sold at 1875 today a
reporter spoke with President j. J.
Hill, of the Great Northern, whose
friends have for some months been
crediting him with predicting that the
shares will be quoted at that figure.
Sold at 125, did it?" asked Mr.. Hill.
II did not know it had gone so high"
Hill declared that he had no infor-
nation to give as to the cause for the
remarkable rise in the quotations.
Answering a question IN this point,
MI. Hill said: mo, I know Of moth
ing new and have no information as
to the special cause of the rise"
Directors and others connected with
the management said today, as have
the managing interests of the other
stocks which have scored graet rises,
that they can not account for the de-
mand for the shares and know Of no
developments affecting the property.

SECURES MAJORITY OF OVER
ONE HUNDRED.
CAUSE GREAT STRIKE
Measure Forced Through House of
Commons as Strict Party
Issue.

London, May 1.-THE house of COM
mons tonight adopted the coal duty
by a vote Of 333 to 227, consequently
the tax of a shilling a ton on export
coal had a majority of LOG. These
figures apparently do not represent
the feeling of the members of the
house, but the government made the
issue strictly a party one and secured
the record attendance for this par
lament n by vigorous efforts
polled within a score of the normal
majority.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
was the speech of Rt. Hon, Frederick
Lambton, brother Of The Earl of Dur
ham, who, standing amid
tive members denounced the v
ment as "a pack of riotous hounds
after eve lambs" by which he referred
to the coal industry. He declared
that the chancellor of the %excheQuer
Iorgers ana maintained that they were
"as honorable a set of men as ever
Sd. in the government benches"
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach attempted
to explain but Lambton paid little
heed. Sleepy people who had come
in to hear the final statements blinked
vigorously as ley heard the right of
miners to strike proclaimed by an aris-
tocrat, who declared that the miners
were a good as many men woh have
Won the Victoria cross What tie
Miners federation will do now remains
to be seen. Judging from the remark
from the labor members during the
last stage of the details the Fedora
ton is likely to declare a general
strike, thus precipitating a struggle
between organized labor and parlia-
ment. Such a collision, as was SAID
frequently during the discussion,
might prove ruinous to the coal indus
try and highly injurious to the coun-
try,

NEW RECORD IN DIVORCE.
Mrs. Butler Secures Decree Four Days
After Suit Was Brought.

Judge Clancy made a new record
in divorce proceedings yesterday, or
perhaps the credit of it belongs to the
attorneys representing the parties to
the suit of Florence G. Butler against
Roy S. Butler, says Sundays Anacon-
da Standard. Mrs. Butler, through
her attorney, G. J. Langford, brought
her action last Tuesday. The sum-
mons was served on the defendant
on the same day, and he at once am
ployed an attorney and a demurrer
to the complaint was filed in court on
Wednesday, On Thursday the demur-
rer was withdrawn and the defendant
asked for and was given "a hours to
file an answer. No answer was filed,
however, and yesterday Mrs Butler
and her attorney were in court and
asked that q default be entered
against the defendant, which was
done. The plaintiff then presented
her proofs and ss the court house
clock struck the hour CT noon a de-
cree of divorce was ordered in her
favor.
Mrs. Butler is a strikingly hand
some woman and was very fashion
ably gowned. The ground upon which
she was granted a divorce was
cruelty. The pegoies are we'll known
III Butte. She testified that she was
married TO Mr.. Butler in Castle, Mont,
IN July Is, 1897, and that he has for
some time treated her with extreme
cruelty. Last November, while they
were stopping in Salt Lake, she said
he falsely charged her with infidelity
and associating with bad people Of
both sexes. He brought suit for di-
vorce in that city at the time but later
dismissed the action. She said he
repeated the charges of unchastity
in Butte and that last September he
left her. Her testimony was corrobo-
rated by her mother and Judge Clancy
ordered a decree of divorce entered.

Younger, confined in the state prison
at Saltwater, may be %pardoned as a
result of a meeting of the board of
prison managers to be held here to-
morrow: The prisoners have filed
their applications for pardon, as the
law requires they shall do, and the
board will enter upon consideration
OF it tomorrow. It is believed by
many that the application will be
granted and that, unless the board
OF pardons acts adversely or the law
under which their parole is possible,
is deemed invalid, two noted bandits,
who were imprisoned in 1876 for dep.
relations committed at Mortified,
will at last be given their freedom.
