Perhaps it would be proper to say that he

part Of conservative men of business. The
most frequent comment, to the effect that
this shows an abiding faith in Butte on
the part of Eastern capitalists, has been

firm should have gotten the contract for
the preliminary work.

number of men, to be followed as soon
as the plant is in operation by the pcrma-

FOREIGNERS HASTEN TO
LEAVE THE CITY

Foreigners continue to leave Rome,
but many of them cNnnot get away, as
they are far from the railroad station
and no cabs are obtainable, and tho
hotel omnibuses can carry only limit
ed number OF passengers.
IL the strike continues and all the
foreigners leave the city, it is said thai
the clearinghouse keepers alone will lose
OH an average of $4,000 daily.
Unimportant encounters between the
strikers and troops took place during the
morning, the former wishing to hold
meetings which were forbidden, or reach
the center of the city, but the strikers
were easily dispersed by cavalry charges.
During the morning an attempt was
made by strikers to overthrow a street
car, but it failed.
Five hundred French pilgrims arrived
here today and had some startling ex-
periences. They got off at a station on
the outskirts Of Rome so as to avoid
going through the city, but there were
no cabs and all kinds Of wagons and
carts were hired to take their baggage.
The men and women of the party ar
rived at the Garibaldi bridge just as a
detachment of covolary charged the mob
and scene of indescribable confusion
ensued. With scream sand shouts the
pilgrims, in their efforts to escape, were
scattered In all directions.
About the middle of the day the strik-
ers succeeded in gathering in threaten
ing numbers on the Corso Vittorio Eman-
uele, although in the center of the city,
and detachments of troops charged, fred
three volleys and dispersed them. About
a dozen men were reported to have been

Rome, April s.-The aspect of Rome
was completely changed early today. The
gay crowded city of yesterday seemed
dead. No cabs passed through the streets,
and even the street cars, which ran at
long intervals, were escorted by police
and were almost empty, as the people
feared TO ride in them on account of
threats of the strikers.
The shops were open, but the shut
ters were up, as the proprietors intend
ed to be ready for any eventuality. They
were apprehensve OF rioting and feared,
as on another occasion, that their win
dows would be smashed.
The whole city was occupied by troops.
Detachments of cavalry were posted on
the squares, and special details of SOL
diers and police were stationed around
the vatican, so as to prevent any at
tempt against the papal palace.
