.HtIhZt MAKES STATEMENT
GIVES HIS VERSION OF THE CELE-
DRAFTED MONTANA CASE.
Declares That the Standard Oil Inter
ests Are Not Law especting-De-
tends MacGinniss-Heinze Offers to
Make Places for Married Men Who
Worked for Amaleamated Company.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 26.-F. Augustus
Heinze has made an interesting state
ment, giving his version of the cele-
brated controversy with the Amalga-
mated Copper company, and the
schemes for settlement of the question
which has now brought Montana face
to face with an industrial crisis. Mr..
Heinzes statement was made upon the
heels of the disappearance of John
MacGinniss, who it is alleged, fed
from Butte to avoid meeting the COM
mittee Of the miners union who sought
to buy his stock in the Boston & Mon
tana company, and thus end the liti-
cation with the Amalgamated Copper
company. A feature of this statement
is Heinze's assertion that MacGinniss
about year ago was offered twice as
much for his one hundred shares in
the Boston & Montana as the sum
prOffered by the miners union, though
the $500 a share offered by the miners,
according to unquestionable authority;
is approximately i've times the price
the stock can command at the present
time

His Statement.
Mr.. Heinze said in part:
The history of the United States
has not furnished heretofore a parallel
of the occurrences of the past As hours
in Butte. H. II. Rogers OIL the Stand
ard Oil Company is quoted in a dis
patch as saying this will be fight to
finish and there will be no compro-
mise. Mr.. Rogers and myself have
been engaged in a bitter struggle for
years past, as every one knows. He
has had at various times interested
with him in the controversy pretty
nearly every large interest in the
state, and he and his followers have
many times prophesied my immediate
impending bankruptcy. In the course
of this struggle, however, the SnOhom-
ish Tramway, the Nipper, the l.. E.
r. and Parnell and many other claims
have been developed by me into mines
and they are now all closed by injunc-
tions, some of which have been in
force for over six years, and in this
way l have been prevented from giving
employment to over 20UO men more
than am now employing.
'Mr. MacGinniss has recently OBJ
tanned an order in his suit as a stock
holder of the Boston & Montana COM
pany. This suit is based upon the al
legation that Mr.. Rogers did not give
due regard to the laws which were
passed by the early pioneers who
adopted our constitution and other
laws. Should the supreme court hold
with Judge Clancy in his recent de-
cisiOn it is possible that Mr.. McGin-
Miss interest in the Boston & Montana
company might eventually prove to
represent 10 per cent or even more OF
that property.
The offer which the miners union
committee is empowered to make tc
Mr.. MacGinniss is less than so pei
cent of what he refused in 1889 and
left Butte because most of the newspa
pers and large interests in the tOwr
are doing everything they can of {
most inflammatory nature to cause
trouble and to incite riot during (;
heated period which IN any event car
do nothing but reflect discredit upoI
the citizens of Butte.
EARLY next week I will open ;
bureau in this city, where l will asl
all the married men who have beer
thrown out of employment recently t
place their applications for employ
ment. / will ask the men now work
ing for companies controlled by mysel
to agree to work less than full time
and in this way hope to be able t.
make room for over 1900 men.
IF this present trouble is to be uset
as a reason for compromise, the con
troversy about the Nipper and man.
other claims should be considere
simultaneously. A number of time
during the past three or four years
have offered Mr.. Rogers to submit tn
entire controversy between us to
board of engineers, as disintereste
arbitrators, and in each instance
have been met by the condition that
must leave here defeated and ceas
to operate in the Butte camp. 1t woul

SrevenSon's Iact.

Will Low, the painter, recently told
a story of the Latin Quarter days of
Robert Louis Stevenson. Low and
Stevenson were great friends in their
youth; their friendship, indeed, con-
tinued up to the time of the writer's
death.
Louis" said the artist, "was no
less diplomatic than brave. He could
be fiery, and he could also be gracious
and pacific. One night, l remember,
we sat in garden in Montmarte. The
red wine had been flowing pretty
freely, and one of our party had got
heated and aggressive. Finally some
one said tinng that this fighting
chap disliked. He, as soon as the
words were spoken, grabbed up bot
tie and hurled it at the others head.
1t was strong, true shot, and would
have hit the bulls-eye had not Steven
son sprung to his feet, and, with that
singular grace and dexterity of his,
caught the missile in mid air.
Tut, tut, George he said to the
thrower, tut, tut. If the bottle is
passed so quickly, none of us will be
able to stand out the evening""

Spider Eaneies.

An elderly lady who lives in her own
house at Buttes Chaumont, Paris. and
who is the daughter of one OF the func-
tiOnaries under the late empire, has
discovered that spiders are peculiarly
appreciative of music. She has made
great pets of them, and the house is
fun of spiders OF all kinds, on whom
she spends her time and fortune.
Her proteges are lodged in a large,
airy room, where she has provided
every necessary support for their diff
ferent webs. Her great favorites are
immense black spiders, which, with
their hairy legs and great bodies, look
very repulsive to others.
When she Is inclined to show of
their capabilities for music she sur.
rounds herself with a circle of water
to keep off their too delicate attentions
and plays slowly, softly and in minor
key on the harp. From all corners of
the room the spiders run toward her,
listening with evident pleasure; but
should she strike up a noisy, gay, in
harmonious strain they scamper back
to their holes as though disgusted.
A curious fact in connection with
this story is that the lady bears the
birthmark of spider.

RoADBEDs ALSO IN BAD WAY

The present condition of most of
the railroads is one of the most de-
plorable in years Owing to the bad
condition of the tracks and roadbed
of most of the lines in southern Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas, trains
are moving freight at cost of near
ly double the usual haulage expense.
A three-hundred-to engine now in
the sections named have to cut down
to half that haulage capacity, and

Cybele and Her Children.

The Mother has eternal youth,
Yet in the fading of the year,
For sake of what must fade. in ruth
She wears a crown of oak-leaves scar.
BY whistling woods, by naked rocks,
That long have lost the summers heat,
She calls the wild unfolded f1ocks,
And points them to their shelter meet.
In her deep bosom sink they all:
The hunter and the prey are there:
No ravin-cry. no hunger-call;
These do not fear, and those forbear.
The winding serpent watches not:
Unmatched, the feld-mouse trembles
not;
Weak hyla, quiet in his grot.
So rests, nor changes line or spot.
For food the Mother gives them sleep;
Against the cold she gives them sleep;
To cheat their foes she gives them sleep
For safety gives them deathlike sleep.
The Mother has eternal youth,
And therefrom. in the wakening year.
Their life revives; and they, in sooth,
Forget their mystic bondage drear!

Oaxaca, Mexico. April 2.-The poems
of southern Mexico are singing the
praises of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and wife, because of the prodigality
with which they have scattered half
eagles, eagles and double eagles among
them. Wherever they go they leave a
trail of gold behind. When they
crossed the Rio Grande they brought
with them several sacks of silver dol
lars, which soon found their way into
the hands of the poems. When the
City of Mexico was reached, impress
ed with the suffering that existed
among the poor. they obtained from
the banks sacks of gold coin and en-
route to this city at every place at
which the train stopped distributed
SIS, $40 and $40 gold pieces among
suplicants for aims. Never before
in the history of Mixico has there been
so much gold in circulation in this part

SGURES ON LONDON TRAFFIC.
Ntmous Number Of Passengers Who
Uso Conveyances.

Tie inmensity of London traffic is
curbusly illustrated by an article
whith appears in a recent issue of the
Light Railway and Tramway Journal.
1t is stated that the number of SUBJ
urban trains running in and out of
London daily is no fewer than 7,475,
of whi,h 1000 belong to the Great
Eastern.
The passengers they carry is esti-
mated t about 100000, and the
statistican who is responsible for the
article lroves by calculations which
appear t. be perfectly plausible that
over 607900,000 passengers have to
be carrie per annum.
He estimates that about 10000 900
are carrie by cabs, 100000 by pri-
vate vehites, and an equal number
by Thames steamboats, and the grand
total of passengers carried annually
is 1,9OO,O0OOO.

PHONE. TRUST
J. p. MORGAN FRAMING ANOTHER
BIG COMBINE TO EMBRACE
ALL COMPANIES.
Operating Telephones and Maybe Tel.
egraph Lines Is to Be the Busi-
ness of the Trust.
ONE BILLION DOLLARS CAPITAL

New York, April "A telephone
combine colossal in its extent of ter
ritory, is about to be formed by the
great trust maker, j P. Morgan.
This is the information in we'll in
formed Wall street circles which fol-
lowed the announcement today that
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company has raised its capital
ization by one hundred million dol
lars. There have been rumors of such
a combine for some time. 1t was even
said the combine would include also
the telegraph companies. Geo. Gould.
Mackay, for the Postal, both deny that
their companies are ready and willing
to enter into a combine with the tel
ephone companies.
Shortly after Mr. Morgan's return
from abroad he secured a block of
stock in Boston in the American Tele-
phone company 1t amounted to fif-
teen million dollars. Since then the
Morgan interests have secured several
more blocks until today it is esti-
mated their holdings are nearly fifty
millions.
The increase of the capital Of the
big parent company to quarter of a
billion is the first step in a move
ment toward general combine. This
is to include all the telephone COM
panies throughout the country, in
er southern states. The capitalization
of all of the independent companies
is only little over fifty millions.
The plan. like others Of Mr.. Nor
gan's, will be the exchange of GER
tain number of shares in the Ameri-
can Telephone company for certain
number in each of the Independent
companies. The local directorates will
of course be wiped out, but each in
dependent company will have repre-
sentation on the general board of the
American.
On account of the large number Of
companies and the vast territory to
be covered, it will be possibly an en-
tire year before the trust is fully
formed.
The Independents are now more or
less banded together for commercial
and purchasing interests under the
title of the Consolidated Telephone
company. The headquarters is in Buff
falo, and B. G. Hubbell is president.
An exclusive statement was secured
from President Hubbell in Buffalo by
a correspondent. covering the situa-
tion on behalf of the independents. He
said that the time was ripe for COM
bination, but believed the independ.
ents now had the whip hand of the
Bell company. and might not be easily
coerced into going into the trust. He
declared that such combine is bound
to come. 1t was ideal as business
and financial proposition. The saw
ing would be tremendous. The capi-
tai would have to be unlimited He
believed it might be dangerous for
the public in the possible increased
prices. The capitalization of the trust
would probably be billion dollars.
