NCLL IN WAR AT BUTTE.
Each Side Waiting for a Move by tn
Opposition.


Suite, Mont, Oct 2S.-There is a
1ull In the Amalgamated-H war,
Doth sides to the struggle apparently
lying on their arms, letting the next
move be made by the opposition. The
next effort to settle the controversy,
1t is believed, will be by mediation
committee formed at the suggestion
OF the Business Mems association of
Great Fails. The committee is COM
posed of United States Senators w.
A. Clark and Paris Gibson, James J..
Hill of the Great Northern and Gov
ernor J. K. Toole. Congressman
Dixon may become member, advices
from him on the subject having not
yet been received. All members of
this mediation commission will meet
IN about four days. President William
Scallon of the Anaconda company and
+. Augustus Heinze have both signi-
lied their willingness to meet with the
commission and discuss the settle
ment
As a result of the decision of Mr..
Scallon to reject all the terms made
by Mr.. Heinze, many of the miners
are leaving the city for Wyoming and
British Columbia. Mr. Scallon's an
sWer is interpreted to mean that the
shut down will be of long duration
and that no relief is in sight.
Little, it is thought, can result from
the efforts of the commission.
Millions of dollars are involved in
the contest between Mr.. Reinze and
the Amalgamated Copper company,
and the situation is such that the
courts as last resort must settle the
case

CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.
Government Files Amended Reply In
Lumber Company Suit,

''SN' company 0Uil.
Fergus Falls, Minn., Oct. 2S.-The
amended reply Of the government in
the suit against the Commonwealth
Lumber company, of which Lieuten-
ant Governor Ray w. Jones is presi-
dent, was filed Tuesday in the office
OF the deputy clerk of the United
States court. The Commonwealth COM
pany answered to the complaint that
timber cut had been done under con-
tracts made by Captain w. A. Mercer,
Indian agent, and authorized to act
for the government
The governments first reply was
merely formal denial Of the compa-
ny's allegations. It's amended reply
filed Tuesday, declares Captain Mer-
Ger and Daniel Sullivan, superintend-
ent Of logs, were leagued with the
company and connived with it to cut
green timber instead Of dead-and-
down timber, as contemplated by the
department: that contracts with indi-
Vldual lOggers were made at the in
stance of the company, and that Mer-
Ger failed to employ competent scalers.
Finally, it denies his authority to make
such contracts as those which resulted
in stripping the land of timber. The
suit is for $115 $685..

Fall Flowing in Minnesota.

In Minnesota the situation as .tc
blowing is mixed. The State is sc
large that conditions vary greatly ir
different sections. In the central and
southern part of the State from fifty tc
seventy-five per cent of the blowing is
done, and with a continuation of good
weather about the usual amount will
be plowed, with some reduction for
low prices. In the central and north
west parts there is less blowing done.
The corn land is plowed chiefly in the
spring. The promise is good for a
large acreage of flax, oats and barley
next spring in Minnesota.-Commer-

CAUSED BY WILD RUMoR.
Run on Savings Departments Of St.
Louis Banks.


Louis Banks.
st. Louis, NO., Oct 2S-From short
ly before l o'clock until the closing
hour, o'clock Tuesday, runs we're
made in the savings departments of
the banks Of st. Louis and at the same
time more than the ordinary amount
of withdrawals by savings depositors
were noticeable in the other banking
institutions. The runs, so far as it
can be determined, were started by a
disquieting rumor from the outside
that seemed to strike st. Louis after
noon to the effect that the savings in
situations here were unsound, and like
prairie fire it spread in flash
through the streets and different mer-
camille establishments whose employees
represent the majority of savings de-
positors. With a. rush the rooms Of
the Lincoln Trust company, the Mer-
camille Trust company and the Mis-
sissippi Valley Trust company were
filled with men and women all eager
to withdraw their money. The scene
in any one bank Yves duplicated in
the other two.
1t is stated that the rumor that
started the run came from Chicago
and was to the effect that two direc-
tors Of the Mississippi Valley Trust
company had recently endeavored to
negotiate loan of 100000 in that
city and had been refused. This ru-
NOR was pronounced an absolute ca
nard by the directors concerned.
AS soon as the run started all other
business was laid aside and every
facility was afforded for the prompt
payment of deposits. There was no
disorder manifested at any of the in
situations and in many instances de-
positors who had hurried to withdraw
amounts departed without their money
after having conversed a few mo-
ments with the officials and been made
confident that the bank would con-
tinue to do business.
Presidents of the different national
banks assembled during the afternoon
and issued a statement that the banks
of ST. Louis are all perfectly solvent
and amply able to liuuidate all de-
mandS

LOSS WILL BE HEAVY,
Large Number Of Steamers Exposed to
the Perils of Yukon Ice,

Large Nufnoer or steamers Exposed to
the PeriIs of Yukon Ice.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 28.-A special
from Dawson says that steamers and
cargoes valued at more than $4,000
600 remain exposed to the perils of
the Yukon ice and frost with little
prospect OF being got to places Of
safety for the winter. Some steamers
have full cargoes of perishable provi-
sions and these are certain to be
ruined The steamers Columbian, Vic
torian, Zelandian and Bailey are stuck
on the bar 100 miles above Dawson
and the big packet Will H. Isom, built
at cost of 100000, is caught on the
bar at the mouth of the Yukon. All
are in danger Of being crushed by the
ice. The cold storage steamer Kerr,
with $150,000 worth of refrigerated
meats, is stalled below Eagle and will
not get through this year.
The gold output Of the Klondike for
the past season is now figured at $10,-

St. Cloud RefOrmatory Full.

The State reformatory at St. Cloud
has the largest number of inmates in
the history of the institution. There
were 24O men and women in the insti-
tuition last week, when a monthly meet
ing was held, as compared with 1872
inmates in 1902, and 1873 in 1900. The
present cell capacity of the reforma-
tory is only 264, so that additional
room will have to be provided if many
more offenders are sent there.

cension In that city. on the stage rs a
profession for young women. This
church is presided OYER By the ROY,
Percy S, Grant. and Is one Of the most
liberal and progressive In that Episco-
pal diocese, and the club Is composed OF
young women who are studying to be
artists, actresses, etc Mr.. Fiske noted
that the young yomen who seek the
stage are of two classes, the first being
OF those who look upon IL as an easy
means of livelihood or who are moved
by vanity, and the second class being
those who are impclled TO adopt 1t by
legitimate ambition and are moved
BY the natural instinct usual In those
of real talent Mr.. Fiske said that the
stage Is not 20 rcmunerative as Is COM
monty supposed by young women. and
that to the average asplrant II does not
offer such pec,iniary possibilities as
are found In other business directions

to the life Of the theater, and their
ignorance OF requirements and results
makes them victims OF those who by
false representations impose upon their
IN various ways. He said that young
women who go upon the stage may pre-.
serve their Ideals, although sometimes
the environment IL not In accord win
those ideals. The requisites Tor suc-
cess are varied and exacting, the field
Is ogercrowded, and managers are hpr-
assed by the applications OF many who
have no call to the profession. The best
school, Mr.. Fiske said, is the stage
Itself. The best way for a young wo-
man To start Is In a thinking part,
where the novice may get an opportun-
ity to understudy. and where one NAV
observe the creation OF play from the
beginning, through rehearsals to a per-
formance. Thus one gets practical ideas
OF all the phases of the dramatic art
and II apt becomes the better qualified
to take up a modest part and progress.
Mr.. F'iskc said that In the theater OF
today everything Is specialized, and
therefore versatility. which formerly
counted for so much on the stage. is
now undesirable. At the close OF the
address. the young women OF the club
asked questions on the practical phases
OF the subject that were answered By
Mr.. Fiske.
