The reader doubtless thinks the

not have amounted TO much and
that no business of any importance,
whatsoever, was transacted after
perusing an account Of the recep-

were some splendid meetings held
in the day time and much important t
business transacted and many inter

He said he had been trying to pro-
tect the United States from the
shame of intercourse with it. Those
who wanted to touch that thing"
might do so. He would not do it,
he declared, for both canals.
Mr.. Morgan urged congress to de-
termine the question of route and not
cowardly refer the matter to the
president. +
In conclusion he said: Just a word
in parting with this question. This
duty was assigned to me by the SEN
ate and was not sought by me. If
we are to be beaten down here today
and America is to be disgraced, I
shall have had the honor and the
American people will give it to me,

honestly and sincerely the best years

ject."
At 2 p. m. debate on the canal Ques-
ton was closed by previous agree
ment. The Spooner amendment, as
perfected. was read.

Many Contests Are Being Filled and
6loodshed 10 Expected.
P%ocatello, Idaho, June l9.-The day
after the opening of the Fort Hall
reservation was notably quiet. AS
reports came in this morning, it be-
came evident that the "sooners" had
secured both the best lands and the
most promising prospects. This has
left an ~undercurrent of bitter feeling,
and there will be innumerable con
tests over both land entries and min
eral locations.
Details were received this morn
ing Of the great race for the Bell
Marsh copper mine, believed to be the
best property on the reservation.
There were more than a hunder men
after it. Senator Clark of Montana
had a party in the race, and so had
James A. Murray, the Butte million
aire, as we'll as DR.. Dubois, a brother
of Senator Dubois of Idaho.
The Clark men got to the mine first
but found some of the Murray men
in possession. and were driven off by
them. The Clark men will contest.
Reports indicate that the opening
accomplished without violence
and with no accident worse than a
broken arm sustained by one man
who was thrown from his horse.

Creole, Col, June 19.-The second
terrible fire in the history of Creole
occurred this morning and as a re-
suit fully 5000, 900 worth of property
has been burned, two lives are believ-
ed to have been ltst and many per-
sons were injured. The fire occurred
IN what is known as upper Creole
and that part of the town is in ruins,
making so families homeless. The
names Of the missing are VIM. Stew
art and Fritz Tint. The fire started
in a vacant building formerly occupi-
ed as a saloon and is supposed to
have been of incendiary origin. It
was not until 1 o'clock this afternoon
that the flames were under control.
Many members of the fire department
and volunteers risked their lives to
life and reset property, and not
a few were badly burned and bruis-
ed by burning falling timbers.
One whole block on Main street is
destroyed. The new Happy Thought
mill. which cost $225,OOO, was saved
only with the utmost difficulty.

NEW SAPPHIRE DISCOVERIES.
Bonanza Struck on Dry Cottonwood
Creek.

Anaconda, June 19.-J. M. JAMESON,
of this city, reports the discovery Of
a sapphire ledge on Dry Cottonwood
creek that gives promise of becoming
a bonanza.
The ledge in question is about so
feet wide and carries values in gold.
The saphires are fewer in this than
in the Rock creew ledge, in Granite
county, but they are said to be larger
in general and of a far better quality.
They vary in color from ruby to light
pink, yellow, pale green and pale
blue.
Mr.. Jameson has already done
some development work on the prop
erty and is thinking of putting a force
of men at work on it in the near fu-
ture.

SENTIMENT AGAINST ADOPTING
SOCIALIST DOCTRINES.
QUESTION NOT BROUGHT UP
Asking Members to Adopt Any Poiit.
icaI Doctrine Would Be a
Violation of Principles.

'Now that Miners Union day is
over, the picnic is next in ORDER" said
Secretary John Shea of the union to
the Butte Miner.
I'VE will begin right now to make
preparations for the picnic and l have
no hesitation in saying that it will
be the greatest picnic the union has
ever had"
Not Advocating Socialism.
Asked if the union had taken any
action on the socialist movement at
the meeting last night, a member of
the Miners union said today:
"The Butte Miners union did not
take an active part in the advocacy
of the socialist doctrine at the con-
vention in Denver. In fact, l don't
know any Of u men who voted for
it and we will certainly make no eff.
fort to support it here.
1--WE believe that the strength of
our union is due in no small part to
our neutrality in political and religi-
GUS questions.
"You may say for me and am sure
that speak for the union, that there
Is just as much probability of u ask
ing our members to embrace some
particular form of religious belief as
of political doctrine.
Manu 0oI;%;oaI aoI;o<e
I'VE have in our ranks men of
many beliefs, political and religious,
we agree upon questions concerning
u union and it's purposes, but fur
Their than that W. do not wish to 60.
1T would be an insult to many of
IL members to ask them to embrace
a political faith when they have al
ready professed their allegiance to
another. Perhaps there are men in
the union who believe the socialist
doctrine; but l believe they would
be the last to ask the union to take
any action of that kind as far as it
concerns the Miners union.
Here is the whole thing in a nut
shell: We belong to a miners union,
instituted for the protection and ele-
walton of miners, and do not propose
to become a political party to be used
for the advantage of schemeing poll
t%icians."

Favor General Strike.

Saginaw, Mich, June 19.-The call
for a national miners convention has
had the effect to stop negotiations for
the settlement of the strike of $500
bituminous workers in Michigan,
which have been in progress nearly
two months. AS President Williams
signed the call for the convention,
with the approval of the executive
board, there is little doubt that Mich
igan will vote in the national gather
ing for a strike. The cities Of this
vicinity are already feeling the coal
shortage.

Governor Toole Doing All in His Pow
err for the Butte Meeting.
Helena, June 19.-Governor Toole
is doing everything in his power to
make the international mining con-
gress in Butte a uccess Last week
he invited all governors and lieuten-
ant governors to attend or send rep
resentatives. Governor Dockery of
Missouri and Governor Van SAINT of
Minnesota have sem personal regrets,
but say they will send representa-
tives.
Today Governor Toole sent another
letter to all governors, giving indorse-
7ment to the idea of Irwin Mahon that
the conference of governors, when the
mining congress meets, would not
only prove of benefit to the st. Louis
exposition but to the country at large,
also heartily renewing his previous in
vitation.

CONVENTION OF COAL MINERS.
Called for July 17-No New DeveI-
opments Expected.

Called for July 17-No New Devel-
opments Expected.
Wiikesbarre, Pa, June 19.-Now
that the call for a special national
convention has been made for July II,
it is not expected there will be any
very important developments in the
strike situation until that time.
1t is not unlikely, however, that
some of the bituminous workers will
take action similar to that of the Gen.
trail Pennsylvania district, which last
night decidede to cut down the soft
coal production from that territory
one-third.
Dissatisfaction was expressed by
the strikers because the date was set
a month ahead. While the leaders
around strike headquarters will not
talk, it is believed the fixing of the
date for July II was a wise move.
A partial curtailment of coal produc-
ton would have a serious effect on the
business of the country, and it is hop
ed that during the next month some
plan may be devised by which such
a state of affairs can be averted.
Conditions in the anthracite region
remain unchanged.

of the archipelago. The former in
surgent leaders Cuevarra, Abuke and
Rafael were present. Senior Llorente

DANISH WEST INDIES SALE.
Opponents Of the Sale in Denmark
Meet With No Success.

Copenhagen, June 19.-The OPP
ponents of the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States are
again active, but privately they adj
nit that they are meeting with little
success
The response to the appeal for
funds to aid in the movement in op-
position to the sale was decidedly
weak. The Danish West Indies treaty
will be a prominent issue of the cam
paign preceding the election to the
landsthing.
