LITTLE HOPED FOR
In Line of Arbitration in Copper
Trouble by the Miners.

Butte, Mon, Oct. 26.-Officials OF the
Miners Union refuse to divulge pro-
ceedings of the executive session held
in this city, Sunday night.
BY practically a unanimous vote the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Assembly
has endorsed the action of the Miners
Union, last Saturday, both as to the
offer to buy the Maginnis stock in the
Boston & Montana Co. and the reso-
lutions adopted.
The assembly also decided to hold a
public mass meeting some time this
week. if in the meantime a settlement
of the controversy be not intimated by
the HeinZe people.
1t is thought that little can come of
the proposed arbitration by a board
consisting of Gov. Toole, United States
Senators Clark and Gibson. Congress-
man Dixon and J. J. Hill, president of
the Great Northern. The matter is con-
sidered legal matter pure and simple
and it is thought such a board could
effect nothing.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA
Will Carefully Consider the Situation in
the Far East.

Paris, Oct 26.-The foreign office has
been advised that the Russian foreign
minister Count LamSdorff. has revised
his plans and that he now expects to ar
rive in Paris. tomorrow and remain here
until Saturday comforting with Foreign
Minister Dclcasse and questions relating
to the East and Far East. Much i'm
portance is being attached by the off
Gals here 10 the meeting. They connect
it with the attitude of the powers III the
Falllan question and with the strained
Russo-Japanese situation. During the
present strained relations between Japan
and Russia the understanding has pre-
vailed that the Franco-Russian alliance
had the same operation in the Far East
as in Europe; but the extent of French
sympathy in support of Russia would de
pend on who was the aggresSor.
An American official cOnversant with tbs
French policy pointed out. today. that
the Franco Russian and British-Japau al
iances operate strongly to prevent ali
outbreak of hostilities between Japan
and Russia. Each agreement contcm-
plates support when the ally is attacked.
Therefore Russia and Japan defer making
action, not wishing by being the agrees
sor to sacrifice the benefit of its alliance.
1t is expected that these and other taa-
lures of the Franco Russian cooperation
will be gone over at the conferences TO
be held during the next few days

One of the most novel church suppers
yet held in the city is being planned by
the ladies of the Baptist society for
next Monday evening. 1t is called "A
Trip Around the World" and in other
places where it has been tried has met
with excellent success. There will be
four stations beside the starting point
at the vestry. At the starting point
Boston and baked beans and brown
bread will be served. When this course
has been served every one will move on
TO the next station for the next one
where food in harmony with the name
will be provided. No one need carry any
lunch baskets for the journey. as there
will be an abundance of good things to
be had at each station. Tickets will be
on sale, Thursday, at the stores of H.
f. Durham and F. Z. Moore. A great
deal of novel amusement is promised

A SPECIAL TRAIN

IT Is ALL UNCERTAIN.
Difficult to Determine Real Situation
in the Far East.

London, Oct. 26.-Offcial information
regarding the Far Eastern crisis is
more pacific, but that usually accurate
barometer of such situations, the Stock
Exchange, persists in including the
sravest forebodings. Assurance of
peaceful intentions from bith Russian
and Japanese sources are SO insistent
as to suggest the attitude of opposing
powers Oh the eve of more than one
great was in the past. The comparison
may easily prove deceptive. The weight
OF opinion i'll European diplomatic cir
cles, in fact, inclines to the belief that
the struggle will yet be averted, tenn
porarily at least.
1t is increasingly significant tina the
attitude of the United States is every
where studied with the keenest interest.
1t is frankly admitted, according to dis
patches from st. Petersburg, that Rus
STA is awaiting with great anxiety the
result of the diplmatic communica-
tons, which it is known are passing
daily between Washington, London and
Toxic.
1t is clear also that Russia recognizes
that the United States will be at least
inactively hostile Ito her cause in any
conflict with Japan. The Russian gov
eminent is also trying to persuade itself
that it can ignore the danger of any
active defense of American rights in the
Far East. In no other way can the fol-
lowing remarkable utterance which the
Novoe Vremya was permitted to make
last week be interpreted:
American statesmen realize the APP
~ ~e
trans-oceanic powers and therefore are
insisting upon a rapid enlargement of
their navy. At present this navy is,
although considerable, not large enough
to attain the objects desired and the
powers of the Old World are not COM
PEELED to reckon very seriously the
United States. Their real force is not
very great. 1t is only when they possess
a navy that will command the ocean
separating the old from the new world,
that the Americans will be able not
merely to proclaim their rights. but
also to demand the recognition OF them.
This will not be soon, and in the mean
time American demands and threats
need not particularly alarm either Eu-
rope or Asia"
This is an undisguised declaration
that American rights anywhere need
not be respected because the United
States is unable to defend them. No
utterance could express more clearly or
frankly the cynical unscrupulousness of
the Russian policy. The wonder is that
the Russian authorities allow it to be
avowed so openly and that apparently
they have no fear of the effect upon
high spirited people of so fragrant and
contemptuous defiance.
It IS interesting to note that Secre-
tary of War Root while in London. has
not been reserved in the expression of
his opinion that the United States
should not hesitate to defend to the ut
termost her treaty rights in the Far
East

Goinq to Fore River Co.

Boston, Oct. 26.-The Globe will say,
tomorrow. that the resignation of
Admiral Bowles is due to the fact that
he has accepted the presidency Of the
Fore River Ship and Engine Co. At
the plant of the Fore River Co. which
is located at Quincy, Mass, two battle
ships and one cruiser for the United
States navy are under construction at
the present time, and the firm is a
frequent bidder for naval contracts.
1t is understood that the Fore River
Co. has offered Admiral Bowles sal
airy ut least double the $500 which he
is now receiving from the government.

mutual SATISFACTION"
Is Hoped and Prayed for by Japanese
Premier katsura.

Toxic, Japan, Oct. 26-Premier Kat
sura. in an interview, today, said he
deeply regretted the sensational reports
circulated in Europe, which, he added.
We're unfounded. Referring to the diplO-
matte situation, the premier remarked:
"The Japanese government pursueS
it's negotiations in strict accordance
with the spirit of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, which aims at the preserva-
ton of peace andtthe status quo. 1t is
only fair to presume that Russia is act
uated by the same peaceful spirit in
which the dual alliance is extended in
the Far East. I, therefore, fail to see
why the present negotiations should
not lead to mutually satisfactory re-
suits. In any case, nothing in the pres
ent situation warrants any alarm

also were an expert.
When asked about the typhold germ
and whether it is actually known 10

can he isolated; it is cast off in large
numbers from the body of a patient:
the use of water or milk infected will
cause the disease. The evidence. he
said, was circumstantlal out SO over
whelming that it had been accepted as
the truth, He did not think that the
existence of typhoid germ is debated
nv scientists of recognized reputation.
That il is the cause and not the result
of the disease is sustained by circum-
stantial evidence. Actual proof could
be obtained by introducing a germ into
A. human body, but this had not been
done, although there have been cases
of accidental infection in the labora-
tory.
In answer to questions by Mr.. Baker
Mr.. Whipple stated that in his judg-

and at the Waterville almshouse were

recently existed in this vicinity.
At this point the hearing was ad-
