MINE FLOODED.
City Water Works Turned on the
Leonard Mine in Butte.

City water works Turned on the
Leonard Mine in Butte.
Butte, March 19.-Oficials of the
Boston e. Montana company made a
statement today of an attempt other
than through an injunction suit to
prevent operations in the Leonard
mine. An attempt was made on Fri
day night, as is related, to food the
lower workings of the mine by turn
ing in water from the city water sys-
TEN. The attempt, as is claimed, was
made by employees of the Johnstown
company whose workings in that
mine are 200 feet lower than the Min
ME Healy shaft and workings. The
attempt, If successful, would have re-
suited in the flooding of the Leonard
to a depth of 200 feet before the work
ings of the Minnie Healy would have
been affected.
During Friday night it was noticed
that the mine was rapidly filling with
water, and the bringing into use of
the full pumping capacity of the
workings was not sufficient to keep
the water down to its usual level in
the pumps. For a time it was not
known where the water was coming
from, but the fact that it was colder
than usual was good proof that it was
not mine water and came from above
and outside of the workings.
Investigations in the morning prov
ed that the water was pouring into
the mine through two lines of hose,
each two and a half inches in diam
eter. The hose lines were connect
ed with a fire plug on the surface
near the Minnie Healy and were led
down through the shaft of that mine
to the eonard workings.
AS soon as the connection of the
hose with the fire plug was discover
ed the two lines were cut and a guard
is now kept on that plug day and
night.
The matter was investigated by
Manager Eugene Carroll, of the Butte
water company, and he was present
when the hose lines were cut off at
the fire plug. The man in charge
asked Mr.. Carroll If he did not want
to sell his water and the reply was
that it was not for sale for that pur-
pose.
The Boston & Montana officials de-
clare their belief that Heinze and his
lieutenants have become desperate
on account of their failure in the
courts through Injunction suits to
prevent the Boston & Montana COM
pany from working its mines in that
vicinity and a desperate attempt is
now being made through flooding with
water and intimidation of various
kinds to prevent operations through
the Leonard shaft.

NOTE WAS AIMED AT FRANCE
POntif Says French are Obstinate
and Serve Only Their Pet
ty Interests.

Paris, June 4.-The Steele states that
a well-known Catholic has admitted
to the pope that Catholics were at a
loss to reconcile the meeting of Car
dinal Svampa and King Victor En-
manuel at Bologna on May 80, when
the archbishop visited the king and
dined with him, with the papal note
protesting against President Loubet's
visit to the king.
The pope in replying made the fol-
lowing declaration:
"The note was only directed against
France. 1 can not renounce imper-
ceptible right SO long as no agreement
has been concluded. 1 am not par
ticipating in politics. l am simply do
ing for Italy what Leo XIII. did for
France. He ordered Cardinal Lavigerie
to have the 'Marseillaise' played in an
episcopal palace. 1 requested Cardinal
Svampa to listen to the royal march in
the town hall of Bologna. That is all.
THE possibility of an understand
ing between church and state is dem
onstrated by the example Of Germany.
That great and noble country should
serve as a model to Italy. The French
are an obstinate people, who weary
us with questions, and who obey only
when the instructions of the holy see
are in accord with their own petty in

Congressman John Wesley Gaines
move to investigate the so-called to-
bacco trust has been met by Attor-
ney-General Knox with instructions
to District Attorney A. NJ. Tillman,
at Nashville, to receive and trans
nit to him any evidence Mr.. Gaines
may have, with an expression of Mr.
Tillman's opinion as to Its estab-
fishing a violation of the Sherman
act. The instructions were the re-
suit of letter written by the con-
gresham to Mr.. Knox, May 10, stat
ing that during the recent session OF
congress his attention had been
drawn to the existence of tobacco
trust, commonly known as the Brit
ish-American Tobacco Company,
Limited. He had every reason to be
convinced that it could be shown
that the company mentioned had an
agreement with the Reggie agents
whereby they remained from COM
peting with each other and fixed
prices, etc. The testimony sub
mitted by Mr.. Gaines, and which
comprises his stock, consisted OF
hearings before the ways and means
committee on. the tobacco bills in the
last congress, a press cablegram from
London, purporting to be a state
ment of one of the officers Of the al
legged tobacco trust, showing its pur-
pose to be to control the sale of to-
bacco throughout the world. Mr..
Gaines is not pleased with the new
turn of affairs. The evidence, he
thinks, should be gotten by the at
torney-general and his department,
through the means of agents. Mr..
Gaines says: eff Gen. Knox stops
this investigation inside of the linn
its he has already mapped out, l
shall ask members of congress in
Kentucky and the Atlantic States to
join the people in bringing down
heavily on Gen. Knox that con-
dcmnation which he will merit if he
does not carry on this investigation
