HOLD UP SALOON.
Masked Men Relieve Butte Saloon
Man Of 5000.

Butte, Oct. 1.-two masked men
early yesterday relieved the saloon OF
Cronin & Manning, 7O9 North Main
street, of 5000.
Daniel Manning, one of the proprie-
tors, visited the police station this
morning and reported the case. He
says that about 3 o'clock two men
entered his saloon. They wore masks
and before he realized what was 60
ing on a big gun was staring him in
the face and he was ordered to put
his hands in the air and remain per-
fectly quiet under pain of death.
While one Of the robbers was COW
ering Manning with the gun the other
went behind the bar and put the con-
tents of the till-some $2OO-in his
pocket, and after taking a gun which
was behind the bar, coolly backed out
and disappeared in the darkness. The
second bandit followed.
Mr.. Manning cannot give any very
accurate description OF the men, but
he believes n of them to be the
mar who about half an hour before
came into his place and wanted a half
pint of whisky. This man went away
rather disappointed at being refused
the liquor.
The saloon is outside of the city
limits, being in Centerville, but the
city detectives are working on the
case and some arrests are liable to
follow.
A man named Gilmore was in the
saloon at the time, having a drink,
and he was also kept quiet with a
gun pushed under his nose.

CHANCES OF ). BRITT.
Can He Get His Wicked Left in On
Joe Gans?-Latter a Blocker.

Joe Gans?-Latter a Blocker,
San Francisco, Oct. 18.-The fistic
world is agog over the coming Britt
Cans fight. For two years the follow
ers of the game have been waiting
for the two men to come together and
now their wishes to see the white
man and the negro in the same ring
are to be gratified. And the thing
that don't happen before most big
fights is the desire Of the sports to
see the lei facing each other as
soon as possible. They can hardly
wait for the doors to open and the
box Office to take their money.
Champion James Edward Britt is
the pride of California. He has a
long list of victories. He had de-
feated two ex-champions OF his class
beat five others and he gave young
Corbett a drubbing.
Britt started his professional ca
e e by defeating Toby Irwin at Ok
lahoma in a 15-round go. Outside OF
his battle with young Corbett Britt's
hardest fight vas with Frank Erne,
who was knocked out in the seventh
round; Willie Fitzgerald. who lost to
Britt in the goth; George Lavigne,
knockout; Tim ,Haggerty, 20 rounds;
Chaorles Sieger, 20 rounds; young
Corbett, 20 rounds.
Britt has a wicked left blow to the
body that has won for him all of his
fights. No one has ever been able to
block it. Cans is a great fighter on
the defensive and the way he han
dled Walcott's swings to the body in
their fight opened the eyes of Britt as
well as those who follow the game
closely.

You are hereby summoned to an

LIGHT THUS FAR.
Only Small Number Of City Voters
Have Been Registered.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Thus far the admonition unless
you are registered you cannot vote"
has not been productive of a rush to
the oficesc of the registry agents in
the city. Notwithstanding that this
is the third day since registration
has been begun, only a small num-
Der of those entitled to vote in the
-four city precincts have complied with
9Nthe law and have had themselves en-
rolled. This, however, is not surpris-
ling, as there are always many who
put it of until the final days. Some of
these procrastinators occasionally ap.
pear too late and in consequence lose
their votes, for the code is specific in
its declaration that only those pre-
vented by sickness or absence may
Register when the different registers
are opened for the last time. An al
fidavit setting forth the facts is then
required.
"a strong effort is making by the
democrats to secure the registration
of first voters. A man in their en-
Sploy is engaged in a still hunt for
these young citizens and under his
guidance many have been registered.
I'm this respect the republicans seem
Ito be backward and slow to act, as
none of their agents has appeared.
All those induced by the democratic
agent to register may not vote that
ticket, but it is considered as reason
'ebly safe that he sounds his men
and ascertains in advance how they
intend to vote before he breaches the
subject of registration.

DISCHARGED BY PRESIDENT.
Port Inspector Held to Blame for Slo.
cum Disaster.

Washington, Oct. 18.-President
Roosevelt yesterday removed from Of
flee Robert s. Rode, supervising in
spector of the United States steam
boat service, located at New York,
on account of the disclosures of the
commission appointed to investigate
the Slocum disaster.
In accordance with Secretary Met
Calls directions, steps have been
taken toward the removal of James
A. Dumont. inspector of hulls, and
Thomas Barrett, inspector of boilers,
both of the port of New York. State
ments of charges against them have
been forwarded to them. They are
charged with neglect Of duty, incom-
potency and i%neticiency. They will
be required to make answer to the
charges within a reasonable time.
1t was not known to the president
until late last night that Supervising
Supervisor Rode was the holder of a
presidential Office. 1t was supposed
by the president when he wrote his
letter to Secretary Metcalf that Rode
was an appointee of the secretary.
Under the recommendation OF the
Slocum commission, Secretary Met
calf has called a meeting of the steam
boat inspectors to be held in Wash
ington on the 25th instant.

HOPE IN PANAMA CANAL.
1t Is Expected to Revive Western
River Traffic.

New York Commercial: Nothing
in the history of the middle west
yer created more interest than the
present Panama canal project" said
a man who has been identified with
the development of that section for
so years. At present he makes New
York his headquarters, operating
from this point.
"The completion of the Isthmian
canal promises to bring about a re-
vival of the steamboat business
which used to be the glory and pride
of the Mississippi valley" he con-
tinued. Il do not suppose there will
ever be a revival of the passenger
traffic by river, although the Louisi-
ana exposition has had something to
do in restoring passenger traffic by
steamboats,. 1t may not be known in
the east that exclusion steamers have
been run between Pittsburg and st.
Louis and between st. Paul and st.
Louis during the past summer, and
there was one boat on the Mis-
souri, between st. Louis and ST. 10.
seph. These boats we're crowded all
the season.
IAN old steamboat man in st. Louis
informed me that last year and this
the steamboats, on the upper Mississ-
ippi and the Ohio rivers carried over
3,0OO,0OO passengers.
But it is the freight business in
that territory which is going to be
benefited by the completion of the
Panama canal. The grain product OF
the northwest intended for South
America will be shipped from st. Paul
to New Orleans and thence to the
canal. Other freight traffic in the
Mississippi valley intended for South
American countries will take the
same course.
1T may not be known that long
ago there was a great freight traffic
between the Mississippi valley nj
South America in a much more round
about way than that which will be
inaugurated when the canal is fin
ished. My father was a freighter
then, and his shipments to South
America were up the Mississippi river
from st. Louis to Keokuk, Iowa,
thence by rail and lake to Boston,
and from Boston to the point of desti-
nation.
New Orleans, thence by large ships
to and through the canal, will be
much shorter and it will be many
years, if the time I've comes, before
any system of railroads can compete
for the business in the way of rates.
when this business begins, and it
is bound to come, there will be a cor
responding revival in passenger traf- !!
fc by steamboats,. Although bust
ness is conducted now more expedi-
tiously than before the days of rail-
roads, there is a tendency to conduct
it more ~leisurely than was the case
20 years ago. People of the present
time are better fixed financially, and
they can afford to take more time in
the transaction Of business. This
fact will encourage the construction
of great craft which will carry pas
sengers with comparative speed on
the western waters.
".In many places along the Mississ-
ippi river the scenery is unsurpassed,
and this in connection with what
have just stated will attract travel.
Capitalists interested in the South
American trade by the river and coal
route will combine pleasure and bust
