HARNESS At BUTTE.
Strenuous Efforts to Maintain Peace
and to Reach an Equitable SOlu-
ton of the Copper Middle.

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 25.-The most inn
portant development i'm the copper war sit
uation to-day was the fact that Judge
William Clancy decided TO forego his in
tention of shooting elk while thousands of
idle miners are looking TO him for what
ever relief is possible. Judge Clancy to-
day said he will not leave the city and
will do all he can to expedite the appeal
from his decision TO the Supreme Court
A local committee of the Miners Union
called on the judge this afternoon and had
long consultation with him on the subject
OF postponing his hunting trip. The judge
had already informed Mayor Mullins that
he had decided TO give up the trip. The
fact that number of armed men were
around the depot last night, when ii was
supposed the judge intended leaving the
city. caused the mayor to take extra pre-
cautions looking to the personal protec-
ton of Judge Clancy. Every corner in the
city is being guarded closely and a number
OF special policemen have been Immediately
pressed into service. All Saturday night
four policemen guarded the home of Judge
Clancy and two the home of Judge Harvey
Mayor Mullins said to-day that he would
employ 800 special policemen II he found
that the situation warranted it. While
there have been no unusual demonstrations,
the mayor says he viii take every precau-
ton to prevent anything that might incite
a riot or disorder
Smoke is still issuing from the Colorado
and Washoe smelters. but IL is said the
fires probably will be withdrawn in both
plants tonight or tomorrow. The engi-
reers and pumpmen at all the properties
Of the Amalgamated Company are still
being employed i'm keeping the mines
drained of water. The city tonight is
quiet. though thronged with idle crowds.
rhe announcement of Judge Clancy's aban-
donalcnt OF his hunting trip has apparently
tad n SCOT hing influence. indignation is
still rife over the departure from the city

I.ste last night an ctfgy of, Judge Clancy
| was Il. scoycrcd hanging i'm one of the prin-
ell Al streets of Great Falls. where the big
, ciecSroiytic Smelters of the Boston and
Montana Company arc located.
: Last evening kilograms were sent from
| Great Fails to- Senator w. y. Clark in this

and j. j. Hin. president of the Great North
ern. asking each of them il they would act
with the other gentlemen named and Sem

tween the wasrinE copper interests with
a view to keeping open the mines and
smclters of the Amal2amated Company
| The kilograms were the OUTCOME of a con-
sultation of the Business Mems Associa-
| ton of Great Falls.
| Before taking any steps i'm the matter
Senator Gibson was consulted. He APP
| proved the plan and said he would be only
| too happy to do anything that he could in
| the matter. The idea of the citizens who
| initiated this plan was that this commit
! tee could act between the parties to the
copper war and the courts i'm any way
| that they might think best as soon as
| they could consult with each other.
All those TO whom kilograms were sent
| responded. expressing their willingness to
