companies will be held here till further
orders.
The funerals of seven victims of the
Monday night trouble are being held to-
day. There is no excitement. The min
listers in their funeral sermons are laying
no b Ane on the troops. In many in
stances they refer to the loose enforce
ment of the laws as the cause Of the
trouble.
The funeral Of Edward Schiffman will
be held late this afternoon. He is one of
the prominent socialists of the city and
members of the party have been invited
by the leaders to be present. This funeral
will be closely watched by the authorities.
The funeral Of Charles Taylor was held
to-day. Three funerals were held this
morning. There were two policemen at
each house of mourning, but no demon
stration was made.
The sixth arrest for the Sunday night
rioting was made to-day. The grand jury
investigating the shooting has already re-
turned nineteen indictments. Complaints
have been made that the authorities re-
leased three men who were arrested by
hardware men whose stocks were robbed
by the mob.
The list Of deaths remains at ten. The
two who were badly injured, Browski and
Bee, may not live. There are threats OF
trouble for the soldiers of this city as

some of the agitators are saying an on
slaught on the negroes will be made in
| retaliation when the troops leave. These
threats are being taken seriously.

PLOT TO DISRUPT
THE DUAL UNION
Bjornsterne Bjornson Discloses Fact
That Norwegian Leaders Had
Planned to Attack Sweden.
He Says That Former War Minister
Stang Was Implicated in
the Move.
New York Sun speciaI Service,

New York Sun Special Service ..
Christiania, July 9.-Bjornsterne Bjorn-
son, in an animated controversy with Mr..
Stang, minister of war, has disclosed
the fact that Stang supported the belli-
cose politicians who actually planned war
with Sweden in order to dissolve the
union.
The former minister relied upon the
fact that the Swedish army was in course
Of reorganization and presumably unable
to strike quickly. He planned to mobilize
the Norwegian army and to march across
the frontier to prevent the mobilization Of
the two western Swedish army corps.
Bjornson says: 1.-THE most horrible cir
cumstance in connection with the story
is that Mr.. Loveland, minister of the in
terror, an old fighter for international
peace and president Of the Nobel peace
committee, consented to lead the move
ment and to take charge of the revolu-
tionary movement. The lunacy of the
plan can be understood by all who know
the relative strength Of Sweden and Nor
way on land and sea. The European con-
cert which permits Armenian acres
and warns the oppressed Macedonians to
keep quiet should certainly apply severe
measures to domestic self-governing Nor

HEINzE And
THE ANACONDA
Issue at Last Joined in the Cele-
brated Struggle for the
Nipper Lode.
Legislation Even Sought for the
Bearing It Would Have
w.. on the Case. >.
Eight Million Dollars Involved in
the Proceedings-Vast Ore
Bodies at Stake.
Special to The Journal.

Butte, Mont, July 9.-After every re-
source known to legal ingenuity had been
exhausted In order to defeat the trial OF
the celebrated Nipper mine case and all
preliminary sparrlng had been done, the
case has finally come to trial. This Is
that has been called for trial since the
famous Colusa-Parrot and Anaconda
trial In the United States court.
The case Is entitled J. S. Hickory ct al.
versus the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany and Washoe Copper company. The
Nipper company owns eleven sixteenths
of the Nipper lode and the amalgamated
interests five sixteenths Of the same
claim. On this point there is no con-
troversy.
The principal plaintiff in the case is F..
Augustus Heinze. The issues involved
| are to the rightful ownership of GER
tain ore bodies below the surface bound
! aries Of the Oden, Parrot, Neversweat
| and Anaconda mines. About $4,000 600
are involved in the suit. The question
of apex and extra lateral rights will figure
largely in the suit and 1t is expected that
the famous blue vein of the Ana conda
hill will cut an in&sGtant figure in the
controversy.
During the last legislature the~passage
Of the change of Judge bill was largely
due to the expected trial of this case.
After the bill became law the Amalga-
| mated people invoked the supreme court
to call for change of judge for
the trial of this case. The supreme
court declared the law unconstitu-
tional. The Amalgamated people based
their claim for a change of Judges
on the plea that Judge Clancey before
whom the case was to be tried, was biased
and prejudiced in favor Of the Heinze in
! terests, and that they could not secure
| a fair and impartial trial.
| Then the defendants appealed to the
| supreme court to exercise it's right O.
supervisory control and order a change
| of judge to try the case. This the su.
preme court denied and counsel for thu
defense were then retained Ten days
| were granted in which to file a bill o.
exceptions to the rulings of the court
| The application on the part Of the Washoe
| company to file an amendment to it:
| answer was also denied.
| The Anaconda Copper Mining company
then moved for judgment on the plead
! ings and to have the case dismissed as tt
| that company; but this was overruled
! The next move was tho filing of a mo.
| ton asking for a jury trial and this alst
was overruled. Another motion for leave
to frame issues Of fact for trial by jury
was also overruled. This exhausted tn,
preliminary sparring and the trial wa
ordered to proceed.

Toast King and President.
The scene was picturesque and novel.
All the American AID a number Of British
officers were in uniform. The palm room
was crowded with spectators. In pro-
posing the toast of ''The King" Lord
Beresford said it was particularly easy to
do SO, owing to recent events in which
the king had been messenger Of peace
and good will toward all nations The
interests Of the world favored peace. He
believed the day coming when King Ed
ward would be known as Edward, the
Peacemaker." The toast was drunk with
enthusiasm and then Lord Beresford
toasted President Roosevelt and asked
why the president was like the king
of England. He added: @
1--WE like the strong, generous man.
The president will do his level best to
bring the two great English speaking ma
tons together in one harmonious whole,
