Chicago, July IA strike Of 5000
freight handlers in Chicago was called to-
day and every freight house OF the "a
railroads concerned is practically tied up.
Business men fear that the strike will be
the most serious which has affected their
interests in years.
The strikers called by committee APP
pointed at a meeting Of 1000 freight hand
ers held meeting last night. The commit
tee was instructed to call a strike within 48
hours unless the railroads should meet the
demands Of the men at once for an in
crease in wages, extra pay for overtime
and holidays, and recognition Of the
union.
Action on these instructions was taken
sooner than had been expected. The COM
mittce went first to the Michigan Central,
Illinois Central and Wisconsin Central
freight houses on the Lake front. The
men walked ont with cheers and marched
across the viaduct on Randolph with
their union cards tucked in their hats.
BY messenger and telephone, acting to
the strike leaders, all members of the In
ternational Freight Handlers and Ware
house Mems union were called out. At
noon President Currant OF the union re-
ported that his men were all out and that
it is almost impossible for any freight to
enter Chicago or to leave it.
No Freight Entering.
Many of the railroads had small forces
of men previously hired on hand when
the strike was called, and by adding to
them men from other departments, man
aged to handle perishabe commodities. In
the hiring of non-union men it is said the
railroads run serious risk of bringing
about strike of the teamsters, who re-
Gently won their fight from the packers.
The teamsters, it is said, will refuse abb
solutcly to have anything to do with
freight in anyway handled by non-union
help. The men called out include the

ANTOINE SCHRElBER TO
GO TO INSANE ASYLUM
Aged German Is Examined Before Judge
McClernan-Gets Badly Mixed in
His Dates.

Antoine Schreiber was adjudgcd insane
by commissioner in Judge McClernan's
court this afternoon and ordered to the asy-
lum. He was examined by the judge in
the presence of Drs. Bertha Mackcl and
II. A. Galley.
Schreiber is German and is about so
years old. He does not speak plain Eng
lish. In telling his troubles to the judge,
among other things he said he had been
born in the United States and raised in
Germany, but had returned to this country
in 1883.
The old fellow was taken into custody
last Thursday on a charge of having
whipped a boy, but it soon became evident
to the city officials that he was not right
mentally. Deputy Sheriff Dobson called
at the Jail to see him and he told Dobson
he had whipped the boy to protect the city.
Saturday afternoon he told the deputy
he was to be married that day.
Il whipped the boy and then made him
shake hands with me-" said Schreibcr to
the judge today. "Then / walked off like
gentleman and cop came along and
arrested me and that is all there is to it,
SO help me Moses"
There being no doubt as to the con-
dition of Schreiber's mind, the physicians
adjudged him insane without further cerc-
mony.

How That Spectacular and Resourcefu
Liar Writes About Washoe Smelter.
The Boston News Bureau OF the ,d in
slant contains the following stuff and non
sense:
Butte, Mont.--The colossal smelter built
Dy the Amagamated company at Anaconda
~ cost OF S9.ooo,ooo, is decrecd failure
& nc old smclter was abandoned six
months ago, and all tile saleable fittings
we're torn out, but Amalgapiated workmen
are now engaged refurnishing and refttinp
the old smeIter, as the rev one must be
abandoned for purposes Of reconstruction.
The above was shown to well known
local mining engineer who has Just visited
Anaconda and who replied
why, Of course, that is correct, cxcept
about 100 per cent. The terrible facts are
these:
At the concentrator the jigs were built
wrong end to, and an cggshel from n
miners lunch, which had in some way
gotten IN the ore, broke the crusher. The
water from the flume supplying the mill
has been found too wet, and no way has
yet been discovered to remedy the diff
Guilty.
In the calcining department most
egregious blunder was made, and the cop
per is driven off in fumes while the sui
phnr remains in the ore.
At the blast furnaces the coke is all
converted into diamonds, which have
swamped the market, while the copper
passes into the Stag.
The revcrberatories were carelcssly built
right over an immense cold spring. and
the great flow Of water puts ont The fires.
With monumental stupidity, the con-
vertcrs were built upside down, and the
management is at loss to know how TO
rectify the trouble.
In the haste Of construction the con
tractors forgot to put on the roof and as
a result the workmcn have all been sun
struck and are laid off till cold weather.
The smokcstacks all have hole in the
top and the smclter fumes escape in the
Rir and are total loss instead Of being
utilized to make lavender water as a by
product.
When the furnaces were first charged
they became so hot from the fires be-
meath that the ore was reduced to
molten state and tried TO break out and
leave the country
1t is reported by a reliable man that
the Stag which comes from many of the
furnaces is worthless.
1t is mystery where the millions of
pounds Of copper SHIPPED from Anaconda
last month came from but il is believed
that it was smuggled into the works at
night from the tailings and Stag going
down Silver Bow creek.

SPEECH OF THE CHIEF
JUSTICE OF MONTANA

Gold was found in various places dur
ing the years 1861 and 1862. During the
latter days of May, or the first days of
June, 1863, Alder gulch, characterized as
the greatest placer on the globe, was dis
covered by Fairweather and his compan-
ions. The tidings went quickly Eastward
and Westward. First came the influx OF
miners from the older mining centers of
the West Then, as the news spread,
came the venturous and enterprisinp
younger men from the East. During the
following two years came the defeated ann
impoverished veterans from the South to
meet their erstwhle enemies from the
North, now discharged from an arduous
service in the federal army and free TO
JOIN in the quest for fortune in the
hitherto unknown West, each anxiou,
TO forget the arts and antagonisms of
war, provided only they could gain the
rewards OF honorable and peaceful in
dustry. There were those also who
came from beyond the seas to cast their
lot in land which held forth promise
to every one who possessed the courage
to endure hardship and danger. There
were among them lawyers, doctors min
listers, engineers, mechanics, teamsters-
men OF high and low degree from eyery
walk OF life. These elements animated
by the same impulse and surrounded bv
common perls and diAcuties, fraternized
and, in the effort to win individual success,
laid the foundation upon which our state
hood rests.
I'VE may not now dwell upon many of
the events which, crowded into these brief
years, have wrought great results upon our
state and national life. Much has been
written of what is of direct and special

less than 5000 tons Of ore daily, while
the production of the red metal is at
greatly reduced cost and compares, per-
haps, with the very cheapest that reaches
the market. The converter plant, con-
sisting of eight horizontal machines, is
working with precision that is perfect

every right-minded man similarly situated
imposes upon himself, or which is enjoined

neighbor. Such property rights as were
then enjoyed were acquired by discovery
and appropriation only. The arm of the
