5000 IDLE
Effect Of Amalgamated Strike
Green Men Ruin Cost
ly Machinery.

Butte, Mont, April 1.-THE Washoe
smelters at Anaconda are practically at
standstill because of the strike of the
hosting engineers of the Amalgamated
mines. The ore bins were emptied late
yesterday.
Over 5000 men are now idle in Anaconda
by reason Of the Walk-out Of the en-
gineers. At the last meeting of the
strikers they decided to a man not to go
back to work at the old scale. They
claim to have gained many recruits to
their ranks and announce their de-
termination to fight to the last.
Thousands of idle men are still walk
ing the streets of Butte, waiting for new
men to become competent to run the
mammoth hosting engines of the Amalga-
mated mines. Yesterday one cage was
deolished and shafthouse wrecked by
the machinery running away. In, another
case a cage fell to the bottom Of the
shaft
The miners have become alarmed and
the miners union has taken steps toward
effecting a settlement between the Anal
gamated and the striking engineers.

Washington's Attorney Gem
era1 Asks Leave to Bring
Suit Against Merger.
His Desire for Early Hearing
Shared by Griggs, De-
PENDANTS Council.
Supreme Court Declines Inn
mediate Decision, but
Promises One Soon.

Washington, April Attorney General
stratton of the state of Washington to-
day brought to the attention of the
United States supreme court the desire OF
that state to bring suit to prevent the
merger of the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern railroads by moving for
leave to file a bill Of complaint on behalf
Of the state versus the Northern Pacific.
the Great Northern Railroad companies
and the Northern Securities company.
In making the motion, Mr.. Stratton
said that counsel for the defendants was
present and prepared to proceed with an
oral arrangement if the court was pre-
pared to hear them. adding that the case
involves the same questions as we're pre-
sented in the Minnesota case. He added
that an immediate hearing was desired
because it would save another trip from
the state of Washington.
Ex-Attorney General Griggs, represen-
tat1ve Of the railroad companies, acqui-
esced in what Mr.. Stratton said as to the
desirability Of an early hearing, but the
court declined to announce an immediate
decision on that point. The chief Justice
said. however, that an early response
would be given.

THE FENCES OF JOEL
Mr.. Heatwole Holds "Mum" Con-
ference in St. Paul.
ON SENATORIAL MATTERS, MAYBE
He Still Disclaims Any Intention of
$50 Contesting the Governorship
With Van SAINT.

Congressman Joel B. Heatwole OF
Mortified is in St. Paul to-day, and held
a conference this afternoon at the Mer-
chants hotel with several politicians
from the third district and elsewhere.
julie Lawrence of Mortified, H. S. Robert
son of Mankato, G. E. Dickey of Zum-
brota and S. l.. Trussell of Minneapolis
were about the hotel.
None Of them would vouchsafe any in
formation as to the purpose of the con-
ference. Mr.. Heatwole denies any idea
of contesting the nomination for governor
with Van SAINT. 1t is admitted that he
wants to be senator when Moses E.
Clapp's term expires, and the most salts
factory explanation of the conference is
that Mr. Heatwole is watching the selec'
ton Of state senators this year in order
to get as many as possible favorable to his
candidacy. 1t Is believed that at the
porper time he will announce himself as
a candidate for another term in congress
The anti-Van SAINT talk is strong among
his friends, but there is no suggestion of
any one for an opposition candidate.
By strange coincidence L. A. Rosing
happened in to-day on his way home from
Saltwater. He looked on the republ can
gathering with interest, but did not mix.
He denied that he was a candidate for
governor, and said he had not talked with
John Lind for several weeks, SO did not
know his former chiefs Intentions.

FOR CHIPPEWAS
Senate Passes Clapp Bill for
Which Morris Measure
Will Be Substituted.

From The journal Bscrean, Room IS, Post
building, Harrington.
Washington, April THE senate to-day
passed the Morris Chippewa bill which
was introduced in that body by Senator
Clapp and reported by Senator Quarles.
The bill is similar to the house measure
and it is probable that when the Morris
bill Is considered in the house the SEN
ate bill will be offered as substitute.

SETTLEMENT
Dispute Apparently Adjusted
on Reasonably Satisfac-
tory Lines.
House Bill to Be Dropped
and Hansbrough Meas
ure Passed.
Modification to Protect the
Rights Of Those Who
Use the Water.

Building, Washington
Washington, April THE irrigation
dispute is apparently settled and on rea-
sonably satisfactory lines The Wyom-
ing interests which had secured control
Of the committees of the two houses
learned from a recent conference with the
president, and by other signs Of OPPOSE
ton, that it was no use to try to get
such measure through, since the speak
er, acting under good advice, would never
have accordingly agreed, with consider
able reluctance, to the amendments which
the president and others have asked for.
The new plan is to drop the house bill,
take the Hansbrough or senate bill as a
basis and amend that so as to allow the
withdrawal by the government from sale
in advance Of their survey Of lands which
it is intended to 1rrigate, before the
SPECTATORS can ascertain what they are.
Another section Of the Hansbrough bill
is 70 be modified SO as to protect the
| present users OF water in their rights.
! This section as it now stands seems to
create two classes Of rights, those al
ready accrued and those which might be
| obtained in the future from states legis-
| latures.
Amended thus and in other details the
bill will be reported to-day, and Speaker
Henderson is quoted as being willing tt
I let it come before the house. An in
fuence tending strongly in this direction
| is a fear that the river and harbor bill
will be again in danger in the senate I'm
less the house pushes on the irrigation
project, and if we are to have irrigation
most eastern people prefer it by a direc
bill rather than by rider forced on tn
/ river and harbor bill, which might b
most objectionable in it's terms.
The compromise plan just agreed upol
still leaves the selection of sites for i'm
provement at the discretion Of the secre
tary Of the interior, which will make
necessary that a man Of very high lnteg
rity should occupy that office. Some sur
prise is manifested that congress is will
ing to abandon it's privilege of decidin
where improvements shall be made, as
1 decides in cases Of public buildings an
I in river and harbOr improvements, but
4 for some reason; 1t seems inclined to per
nit this experiment tc be made. Thl
I discretion will probably rest with tn
secretary of the interior until, in som
future administration, huge scanda
breaks out, and then congress will itse]
lbegin to select places for Improvement.
The present objection to this plan
that it would produce so much log roll1n
as greatly to increase the cost Of irriga
tion.

TRANSFER
Iowa Central Passenger De-
partment Will Probably
: Go to A. B. Cults.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Marshalltown, Iowa, April lit is ex-
pected, as a result Of the resignation Of
George S. Beatty, general passenger
agent OF the Iowa Central, that the pas
senger department will be transferred to
Minneapolis at an early date and that A.
B. Cults of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
will be made general passenger agent Of
both roads 1t is the belief Of railroad
men here that gradually all-of the de-
partments Of the Iowa Central will be
transferred to Minneapolis. It is known
that the management regards this with
favor from the standpoint of convenience.
1t is reported that Mr.. Beatty resigna-@
tion, in addition to the fact that he has
been offered a lucrative position in Chi
cago, was due to the belief that his de-
partment would be among the first to go.
There is general feeling Of uncertainty
on this score among Iowa Central en-,
ployes. Many of them own homes in
Marshalltown and do not like to move
