Butte, Oct. 23.-According to every in
dlcation tonight the Amalgamated Cop
per Company IL preparing for a long
shut down, as several of the pumps in
the big mines have suspended opera
atI"ns. Amaigamated officials are ret
icent as 10 expressing an opinion as to
the probable length Of suspension say
Ing II may be Of SIX or eight months
duration and perhaps greater period.
Efforts win be madeby leading citi-
zens of the state to have the supreme
court advance The hearing on the ap-
peal from Judge clancy's decision, In
the hope that reversal of the judgment
by the upper tribunal win induce the
Amalgamated company TO resume. In
dignation among the Amalgamated peo-
pie Is rife and they are loud in denounc
ing the present state Of affairs. and de-
clare that all business on the part of
the company will remain on standstill
until the Boston & Montana receiver
ship matter is settled satisfactorily.
Throughout the state generally a
state Of depression is reflected and in
Butte business is practically paralyzed.
Business men are cancelling their or
ders for winter supplies. As yet no
acts Of violence have been reported to
the police. though it is feared some diff
flculty will be experienced in holding
the big army Of idle miners in check
any length of time. Tonight the prin-
ciple streets are blocked with miners
and indignant mutterings can be heard
on all sides. Extra police have been
sworn in, with orders to prevent the
gathering Of large crowds.

St. Johns, N. f.. from Labrador, re-
port as lost in the Labrador wilderness,
is the assistant editor of Outing. He
left New York last July to explore the
heart Of Labrador.
About 10 weeks ago he started from

white companion. They were to travel
by canoe and on foot through an en-
tireiy unknown country to the George

primitive North American Indians
gathers at this time Of the year to kill
caribou. This point is 100 miles beyond
the last Hudson Bay Company's post.
No white man has ever penetrated as

TREATED CABINET UNFAIRLY
Lord Hamilton Thinks BalfOur
Is Not on the Square.

London, Oct. 2S--In an address to his
constituents at Earling, Lord George
Hamilton, late secretary of state for
India, has given for the first time his
version of the recent cabinet resigna-
tlons. He said that at the cabinet
meeting on the last day of the parlia-
mentary session Premier Balfour pro-
duced program which included pref
erentlal tariffs and the taxation OF
food. The cabinet adjourned that day
without reaching a decision In the
matter. 1t met again on September
and continued the same discussion.
After this meeting Lord Balfour the
secretary for Scotland; c. 7. Richie,
then chancellor Of the exchequer and
he agreed to place their designations
in the hands of the Duke of Devon
shire, then lord president of the council,
who would present them with his own.
1t was not until September l6 that
Lord George Hamilton learned of
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's re-
signation and that the Duke of Devon
shire had retained his office. He de-,
clared that Premier Balfour had treat
ed the members Of the cabinet, other
than the Duke of Devonshire unfairly
in communicating to the duke the news
he withheld from the remainder of the
members.
He said also that he would have been
willing to resign at any time on the
slightest suggestion from Mr.. Balfour,

DOWIE SAYS HE'S THREATENED
Writers OF Letters Would Kill
or Abduct Him.

New York, Oct. 23.-The Dowie meet
ing tonight was given over principally
to farewell TO Mrs. Dowie and her
son, who will sail for Europe tomorrow.
Both made address appealing to the
audience for better behavior and deny
ing that they were leaving on account
Of their dsapproval of Dowie's methods.
In the course of his address J. Glad
stone Doxle denied that 750 members
OF the host had deserted and returned
home. He declared that only liz had
gone back to attend TO business in Zion
and that others would take their places
here.
The elder Dowie said today that he
had received letters threatening him
with abduction and ever murder, but
that he was not at all afraid.

but he resented the method In which
the free trade members had been GUST
ed from the cabinet.
With regard to the general fiscal
policy. Lord George Hamilton declared
himself free trader with limitations.
He said also that he believed thorough
ly In retaliation which would give the
country better chance for negotIa-
tion Of reciprocity treaties. He thought
no member Of the cabinet would have
resigned on such a proposition. but
that had not been the question pre-
scnted TO them. The speaker also ex-
pressed the conviction that the present
propaganda was protection pure and
simple.
The fiscal campaign continues with
undated vigor. Among the speakers
last night were Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerrnan and Sir Edward Gray,
both OF whom said that protection
would result In an advance IN prices
and great hardship to the working
class.
Sir Edward Gray urged the formation
OF an imperial council with representa-
tives from India, crown and self-gov-
ernlng colonies empowered to advise
the government on imperial affairs and
who would prevent the converting of
imperial into party questions.

THE CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY.
looping the Loop" Not Such Mod
ern Contrivapce as In Gem
orally Supposed.

The feat of ''looping the loop" as It
is now called, is not quite such new
thing as many persons suppose, and
the centrifugal railway at the Crystal
palace, in which visitors have the op.
portunity of RAPID transit on a car
which at one stage of its course is lit.
orally upside down is by no means the
first of its kind. La Nature, the
French scientific journal reproduces
woodcut which appeared in the year
1916, showing how the idea was carried
out at that time in the Jardins de
Frascati at Havre, and 1t differs very
little from the modern appliance. The
car starts from high tower down an
inclined plane, where it gains sufficient
impetus to carry it round q loop, after
which it runs up another incline to a
similar tower, where the passengers
disembark. To the best of our belief
centrifugal railway on the same
principle was shown at a place of en-.
tertainment in London about the same
period. To our American cousins is due
the idea of replacing the railway by a
bicycle track, thereby adding to the
excitement, but introducing an ele-
ment of danger which did not exist
when car on guiderails was the NOV
ing object.

LOVING CUP WITH A HISTORY

A loving cup with an interesting his
tory has come into the possession of
Sir William Treloar. According to the
inscriptions on the cup, says the Lon
don Chronicle, it appears to have been
present from Edmund Burke to Sam
uel johnson in honor of the latter's
stay at Beaconsfield in 1774. 1t then
passed to Oliver Goldsmith, and on his
death was given "to David Garrick and
members of the Turks Head club, as
its fitting holders, to be quaffed from
by each member present at cockcrow
hour appearing"
This club was a select literary CO.
terie and was founded by johnson and
Reynolds in 1772, taking its name from
an old coffee house in Gerard street.
Now known as "The Club" and of
small but exclusive membership. it ia

lots of unexpected things happen, not
the least of them being a bit OF bur
glary which is specially thrilling in the
telling. Needless to say, the end is
love.
Marion Harlan6 outdoes herself in
the powerful story she contributes to
the August Llppincott's called "The
Seventeenth Of August, 1874" The
title smacks of history, but the pa,he-
tic tale is pure fiction of the most ap-
pesllng sort. An adventure story by
William lie Queux, called 'The Man
with the Black Spectacles," is rous-
ing good one about royal disguise
and what comes of it.
The way a medical man sacrifices
himself for a friend, whose wife finds
some compromising letters in her
husbands pockets, is told under the
title "Another Mans Excuse" by E.
Spence de Pue. This sounds true.
Edward Boltwood's sketches of
Western camp life are well liked.
That in Lippincott's August number,
entitled "Cupid in the Horse-Camp,"
