FUEL FOR THE POOR.

Action Taken at Hartford Business
 Mems Association Last Night
 The Hartford Business Mems associ- ation met last night in the board of trade rooms. The question was brought up as to whether the association could not do some thing in the way of pro- viding the poor of the city with fuel during the winter. After discussion it was decided to have circulars print ed and mailed to all members of the as sociation. They will ask for fuel es- pecially old packing cases, which the merchants rarely use but which can readily ha converted into fuel for the poorer classes. All such wood and fuel will be gladly called for and distributed to the deserving poor of the city. Pres ident D. \. Hewes, Edward F Burn ham, F. E. Harvey and Irving Q. Treat were appointed a committee to attend to this matter.
 A motion was made to start a sub- scription among the members for the purpose of obtaining money to buy coal and wood to be used in the same way. This will be brought Up at the next meeting.

Well, more power to MT Thrasher, and we sincere ly hope when he gets through with the boxers. he'll decide to stop over and give lecture on good drinks; it wouldn't take him very long to show how much better a person will feel after partaking of some nice tea or coffee (the kind we sell, for instance) than they will after drinking the kind or drinks that often, yes, too often, puts man behind the bars for so many days or months.

But the tea or coffee must be the good quality. else it's liable to drive person to drink In the lat ter case we think the unfortunate is excusable. Remember, when you purchase tea or coffee at our store it's guaranteed to suit or money back: therefore it's plain to see we sell the good quality at the right price.

glad to say very good government,
suitable to the character of those peo-
pie and the circumstances in which we
found them.
IT would advance the esteem of the
F'ilipinos for the United States If they
could have delegate in congress as IN
the case of Hawaii, said Mr.. Morgan.
This, he thought. would be no violation
OF the constitution. Referring to the
work of the Philippine commission
their personality and ability, he PAID
tribute to the late President Mckinney
who, he said. was the happiest man IN
the world in making selections of men
for responsible POSITIONS who always
could be relied upon to do the right
thing at the right time and in the right
way.
Mr. Morgan pleaded for govern
ment in the Philippines which could De
prepared at all times to meet emergen-
cies In accordance with the laws OF the
United States, because, he said, there
may be n time when the Philippines are
cut off from cable communication win
this country. He urged the estapilsh-
ment of an executive department FOR
the control of the islands.
In concluding, Mr.. Morgan said he
had purposely refrained from referring
to any political phase of this question.
He urged the adoption of his amend
ment. but" he said, IF the bill stands
as II is and will break the uniformity
ir the Philippines, shall feel that the
constitution has been violated.

Text Of Richardson's Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The resolution
which Representative Richardson pre-
scented in the house yesterday. and
which Speaker Henderson held was not
privileged, is as follows:
whereas, There are now pending be-
fore the senate numerous treaties pro-
posing commercial reciprocity with
other nations by which customs reve-
nue. duties will be changed from those
established by acts of congress-; and,
Whereas, These are bills original
ing in the senate now pending before
that body regulating the duties i'm
POSED on articles from Cuba and the
Philippines, imported into the United
States; and,
whereas, Resolutions have been in
troduced in the senate declaring that
the doctrine of reciprocity, as stated in
the act of Oct. 1. 1890, and the act of
July "a, 1897, is the true doctrine, and
that the various treaties now pending
In the senate should receive considera-
ton and action at the present session
of congress- therefore,
tResolved, That it is the sense of this
house that The negotiation by the eX-
eclltiYe of commercial treaty whereby
rates Of duties imposed on goods enter
irg. the United States should be fixed,
would, In view OF the provision of sec
ton Z, article I. of the constitution, be
an infraction of the constitution and an
Invasion of the house Of representa-
tiyes."

THE COPPER WAR OVER,
Big Merger of All Copper Interests
Likely TO Result.

New York, Feb. If one-half of
the many reports that Wall street
hears are true, the disastrous copper
trade war, instituted by the Amalga-
mated Copper company and waged for
some months, is practically over. The
warning interests, after conflict
which has resulted in breaking the
price of the metal six cents a pound
and forcing q reduction In the dtvi-.
dends Of all the important companies,
have, 1t is declared, come together and
| it is expected that, In few days, for
NAL announcement of peace will be
made.
1t Is heard in some quarters-and
credited-that the peace understand ;
ing will result in merger of all the
important copper producing compan-
les of this country. who, in their turn,
will work In perfect accord with the
foreign companies, chief of which is
the Rio Tinto, whose representative
today had conference with II. n.
Rogers. president of the Amalgamated
company.
Thomas w. Lawson at Boston con
firmed the story of the combine with
out qualification, predicted the sue
cess of the plan and declared this is
the rainbow in the clouded copper
sky of which he recently spoke.
According to the gossip, neither con-
firmed nor denied, j. p. Morgan has
been asked to be the agent to bring
about the consolidation in this coun-
try, the merger to be effected along
the lines of the formation of the steel
trust. Mr. Morgan would not discuss
the subject One of his partners ask
ed as to report said:
TT may be so or 1t may not. can't
tell. Mr.. Morgan Is the only person
who is In a position to answer the
question"
But whether an out and out merger
is or is not being planned, there Is
authority for the statement that the
copper war is now practically settled,
and that hereafter the Heinze, the
Calumet and Hecla, the Rio Tinto, and
the Amalgamated interests will not,
improbably, be found working to-
gether.
This is indicated not only by the
conferences of the So called rival in
terests now being held, but also by the
continuing advance in the price of
copper and of copper stocks. Today.
in London, the price of the metal was
up 15s ton, while at this center the
official price of copper was again adj
vanced to 12N cents to 1SA cents for
lake, 12A cents to 10 cents for cleo
-trolytic, and lex cents to 1875 cents
for castings. against 1926 cents to 1919
cents for lake, 1875 cents to 12h cents
for electrolytic. and 12A cents for cast

Senator from Alabama Makes Extend
ed Speech in the Senate.
Washington, Feb. /. An extended
speech on the pending Philippine tariff
bill was delivered in the senate yester-
day by Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, who
devoted particular attention to an
amendment he offered to the bill last
week. He maintained that the enact
ment of the bill as it stands now would
not be constitutional remedy for the
situation the measure is designed to
relieve, but said with the adoption of
his amendment tine bill would stand the
closest scrutiny of the courts. The
Alabama senator did not discuss the
political phases of the Philippine ques-
ton, devoting his entire speech to a
consideration of the legal and consti-
tutional questions raised by the present
tariff measure.
II believe in the doctrine of free
trade in all parts of the United States,
whether covered by the constitution,
the flag, or BOTH" he said, and con-
tended that an export duty Is plainly
forbidden even tho, in the case of the
Philippines. the duty was levied here.
Speaking of the claims which had
been made that there was no lawful
government in the Philippines, Mr..
Morgan, with great earnestness, said

The tracking of the fugitives in their
fight by the detectives was very COM
plete. Early Friday morning the Pitts
burg police were notified that horse
and sleigh had been stolen early
Thursday morning from the barn of a
Perrysville farmer. Frequently during
the day reports were received at head
quarters that two men and woman,
the description of which tailed with
the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel, had been
seen going thru different towns on
the route. From the description furn-
ished it was clear to the police that
they were the fugitives and detectives
were Immediately sent after them. The
Butler officials were at once notified
and by telephoning to the surrounding
small towns it was learned that the
party had turned away from the direct
road into Butler and were going thru
the wooded country to the north of
Butler.
The Butler officials at once went In
the direction in two good sleighs pro-
vided with fast horses. They soon
found they were on the wrong track of
the fugitives. and at 8 o'clock wired
the Pittsburg police that they were OH
ly thirty minutes behind the sleigh and
their horse was tired. From this time
on 1T was only question of short
time until the capture was made.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The disputed
question as to permitting the leasing
of the grazing land of the Standing
Rock Indian reservation in the Dako-

reservation Unbiased and remaining for
the use of the Indians themselves if
they SO desire.

ference at the white house between

Indian Affairs Jones. Indian inspectors

ors. The scole committee, which WI
have to take up the discussion Oh tins
demands, was also appointed. ihe
convention was made permanent ps

cago, as chairman. and w. b. wilson
secretary of the mine workers, as sec
rotary. The scale committee for M
nois, as increased, is composed as fol-

President Mitchell then submitted
the formal demand of the miners
which WAS as foilows:
First-That there be general adj
vance of 10 per cent in prices.
Secondhand an absolute run of
mine system be adopted for all mines
in the competitive field.
Third-That there be a uniform
scale for all outside day labor and
eight hours shall constitute days
work.
Fourth-That there be a straight
difference of &c per ton between pick
and machine mining.
Fifth--That all drivers wages be
advanced to s2.25 per day and 10 per
cent added.
Sixth-That no clause be inserted in
any contract or joint agreement re-
curing the employees to purchase
powder from their employers.
Seventh-That the check-off system
be adopted and agreed to in all the
competitive districts.
President Mitchell took the floor II,
support of the demands of the miners.
He was followed by Mr.. Robbins, who
opposed the new scale.
John p. Reese followed Mr.. Robins
making a strong argument in support
of the miners contention. That the
miners have tried to get down to bust
ness, he said, is shown that while last
year they presented seventeen de-
mands to the operators, this year they
asked for only seven changes.
w. S. Boyle supported Mr.. Robbins
In opposing the scale, and Vice-Presi-
dent Lewis, of the miners, upheld the
demands.
