 AMALGAMATED.
A Rumor, Hard tc Believe, But Not
 Without Some Basis.

Bcston-The strength of the Butte Coalition and the relative weakness in Amaigamated warrant the pu hca- ton of the, rumor that Butte Coali- tion is to be absorbed by Amalgamat- ed on the basis of one share of Anal gamated for two of Coalition-a hard rumor to believe at present.
 The recent buying Of Coalition has been of the best character. It is argued that this buying is not due to earnings. present or prospective. as 20-cent copper market means earnings of but s per share on the company's 100000 shares with an output of 3o,000, ,00o pounds per an- mum.
 Investigation also reveals the fact that the public, so called, is not today carrying normal amount of Amaiga- mated.
 We have made inquiries among ten or fifteen of the largest Boston and New York commission houses as to how much Amaigamated they were carrying for their clients and find that on the average they are carrying about two-thidrs normal supply.

FARMERS BRING SUIT AGAINST MINING CO.
Residents of 6iIa Valley Pre- pare Injunction Proceed ings Against Mining Compa- nieS of Clifton-Morenci.

SOLOMONvILI.E. Oct. 2.-The tail frgs question which has agitated the valley for many years has at last come to the point where injunction suits are fo be instituted against the mining companies at Clifton and Morenci. h. stead of bringing community suits. as has long been contemplated, the suits are to be made in the name or N. A. Gillespie, although It is under stood that the Montezuna, San Jose, Union and Dysart canal companies are sponsors for the movement.
 For many years the farmers have contended the vast quantity Of con centrates. a powdery mineral sup stance. thrown into the San Francisco river by the mining companies was or great injury to them by reason or the fact that it was carried upon tneir lands in the irrigation water used. A number of scientific tests have been made with the result that the conten- rion does not appear to be well iouno- cd. However, the farmers claim 10 he able to demonstrate beyond a doubt that an injury is being done and that the practice of poluting the water should cease.
 Preliminary to filing the suits Geo. Olney and Frank Dysart went to Clif' ton last week to study the situation They found that the quantity of tall ings placed in the river is now very much iessened, the Detroit aud shan non CO.,. ranies having practically siop ped the practice, while the Arizona is using the river as .. dumping place al the Clifton smclter only. 1t has, m deed, been demonstrated by tce shannon company that the tai!Inss re tain a smelling value and that they should be stored for future operau"ns All of the companies professed theii intention of disposing of tnls waste material in some other way as soor as provisions can be made.
 In view of this it is probable thai while the suits will be hled they VII not be pushed at the present time and it is not improbable that itiga tion will in the end be happily avoid ed
 The law firm of Lewis & h=-orson of Phoenix. has been engaged to con duct the suits for the ranchers.

 October ?. 1506.-The feature of the market today was the heavy demand for various of the stocks and the rise in price in East Butte, B. Coalition, N. Butte. Superior & Pittsburg and Cananea Central. Two points gain was scored by K. Butte and the others mentioned all show good advances over yesterdays close. Superior X Pittsburg and Cananea Central are in strong demand from the north and eastern quarters as is also B. Coalition. Black Mountain and Globe are doing well, especially the latter and none of the stock is going begging at $7. Black Mountain has not been in so strong demand, but looks likely for a bid advance very soon. Greene is becoming stronger every day and every prediction is that the stock will reach $35 before a great while. Warren is holding its own between $14 and $l5. with little stock out. That there is good money to be made in Warren holders of the stock realize and are holding for the advance in price which will be forthcoming shortly. The entire market looks excel lent and rising prices are going to be the order.

& P|TTSBURG IN GOOD DEMAND
 0N MARKET
Bull Market Strong and Indi- cations Point to a Con-
 tiuance.
(By Frank J. Graf.D

From all indications the bull mar ket is on and will be with us TOT some time 10 come. Copper selling at 20 cents is bound to put up copper stocks to much higher figures. Su- perior & Pittsburg was in good de- nland the entire day, safes being made in Boston at S2l.75 to S21.SS, put aI the close there was some profit talk ing and closed at s21.50 DiG. This stock will very likely sell for s220O to- morrow, although there mas been some reports that rhere had been sales made at this price, Boston however fails to report the same.
 Cananea Central has been in good demand. sales being made at s22.00, it looks as though this stock would be another North Butte and I would not be at all surprised to see tnls srock sell for s50.00.
 Black Mountain at the close showed some weakness, being offered at 1925.
 North Butte was by far the leader in today's market, making an advance of 4 points for the day. Butte Coalition also took on good strength, sales be- ing made at s41.00.
 Globe Consolidated strengthened at the opening, but about noon there was more offered than the market could handle.
 Calumet & Arizona reported sales at s121.50; very little being JIereG.
 There is a persistent rumor that there is something doing at the Hel- yetia and I would not be surprised to see that this property will be in strong, CT hands in the very near future.
 Denn-Arizona was traded in today with sales at $19.63.

The market today was brisk and active from opening till close with all of the stocks in good demand. c. & A. closed strong at $121.00. s. & F. was again in demand today at from s21.75 to s2200. and at close all stock offered at the latter price was readily taken
 Cananea Central was sought after at close at $21.75, with no stock con- ing out under s22.00 to s22.50.
 Globe came out at the opening at $6.15, while at the close none was to be had under s6.S7.
 Denn was rather quiet at from $lS.50 to $20.00, with sales at $1975. This stock does not wanI 10 be over looked during the excitement.
 Warren and American showed some little strength, especially the latter which sold at s12.00 at close with good demand
 North and East Butte both took on nice advances, closing about two points higher than opening.
 Butte Coalition still continues on the upward path showing $40.S7 bid at the close, with little stock coming cut. The balance of the list is firm and steady.

Boiling the Cat.

The Massachusetts Republican men,
bers of the House Of Representatives are
whispering earnestly and stepping on
their tippytoes, Who shall bell the cat;
and will the cat consent to be belled?
According to the Washington correspond
n 0 Of the Boston Transcript, these gen.
tlemen realize that the situation which
confronts them is not a particularly
pleasing one, and they do not see that
anything is to be gained by promiscuous
talk" Will there be a Republican eau
GUS to consider tariff revision? Alasl
1t is "en apparent impossibility' to get
fifty signatures to a call for such a
caucus. What, then, is the use Of "tenta-
lively discussing" the possible Ian
guage' Of a call that will not be called?
The Bay State fence viewers are can
wasting for signatures, but business is
slow. 1t seems probable that they will
have to content themselves with talking
up" revision and trying to gain the CO.
operation of Western members with
schedules to revise.
Will the Hon. SAMUEL WALKER MCCALL
consent to such a meek and watery
programme? Are no clarion calls-not
for oauouses but for votes-to ring over
Massachusetts? Is there to be no def
ance Of the blind, stolid guardians of
the Chinese wall Of protection? BY the
hides on the cattle on a thousand hills,
by the overtaxed feet and shoes of the
people. Massachusetts should arise and
yell for justice. But who will bell JOE
CANNON?
A Boston Democratic Representative
says brutally that Massachusetts will
move get free hides until she votes the
Democratic ticket and sends a Demo-
cratic delegation to the House. Well,
one does not have to go far into the
backward and abysm to find the good
old lady doing just that. Honestly, we
believe that even free hides are less de-
sired by her than free kicking is.

Japanese Exodus From Hawaii,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: According to
the HGrdh Shfnpo OF Honolulu. a prominent daily
japanese paper, only 90, $40 Japanese are now resi-
dent in Hawaii. Our census of 1900 put the figures
at 10000. lnasmuch as a very great many Jana
nese went TO Hawaii since 1900. IL was ex expected that
the present Japanese population ofuhose Islands
would show a large increase. On the contrary.
there is a decrease of 10, 1000. Only 1900 japanese
are working on Hawaiian plantations. though work
OF that character Is what first drew the japanese
there and though II Is to the plantations that nearly
all the Japanese arc conveyed on arrival. Nearly
5000 Japanese are engaged as storekeepers. exclu-
slve of Honolulu. OF those under p years of age
$500 are females and II 900 males.
The Japanese In Honolulu number about ~ 600
In Hawaii, as always wherever they are, the jana
nese do not neglect the education of their children.
They maintain nifty seven native schools, attended
by 200 children. besides which a much larger
number attend the regular public schools OF the
Islands. They support thirty three Buddhist tenn
pies, six Shinto temples and sixteen Christian
churches.
The Shinpo shows that the number OF Japanese
returning. added TO those going to our Pacific
States and those dying. regularly exceeds the new
arrivals from Japan. This large exodus is at
tributed by the .Shinpo to bad living quarters and
III treatment at the hands OF plantation foremen.
Honolulu custom house records show that In all
1900 Japanese have been brought 10 Hawaii for
plantation work since the Japanese immlR ration
began, The fact that only 6O, $40, remain. and NJ
those only 1000 are now on the plantations. is cyl
dence that there must be something wrong in the
way they are treated after arrivdl. The matter
should be thoroughly Investigated and put right.

We think it was proved yesterday that
the so-called Long amendment is not
Rooseveltian. Its authorship cannot be
attributed to the President. That theory
won't wash.
Next in order Of improbability, per-
haps, is the supposition that the amend
mept was drawn by Mr.. MOODY. The
Attorney-G General has a clear, cold eye
for the gyrations OF the weather vane,
but it is demanding too much Of oredulity
to ask it to believe that this is the work Of
the ju~risconsult who thought it neces-
sary, according to the testimony of Mr..
HEPBURN, to incorporate in the Rate
Regulation bill Of one year ago the
definite, direct and explicit provision
that a rate fixed by the commission
should be reviewed on appeal by a court
of equity "and its asonableness and
lawfulness inquired into and deter
mined"
The claims Of Judge CowEN of Texas"
may be dismissed, because they seem to
be about as remote as the gentleman's
habitat. A Trainer Of amendments does
not come all the way from Texas to frame
a thing like that.
Now for intrinsic indications. What are
the salient characteristics Of the amend
ment which Senator Lone of Kansas has
introduced?
This amendment, whereof the origin
is regarded as mysterious, is like an
identical equation in mathematics, or a
Tupperian maxim in literature, or a
chemical product in which the acid and
the alkaline are 30 perfectly adjusted
that the litmus never squeals, or a maze
pathway which brings the explorer back
to exactly the point from which he
started. 1t seems to say something, yet
signifies nothing. 1t is a masterpiece of
verbal circuitousness surrounding utter
emptiness.
Is there any statesman otherwise con-
nected by circumstantial evidence with
the production and promotion Of the
so-called Long amendment whose known
habits of thought and methods Of ex-
preston correspond to the foregoing
description?
On Monday last Senator ALLISON was
reported as declaring that in his opinion
the Long amendment "confers sufficient
jurisdiction on the courts" Is it I'M
reasonable to suppose that the distin-
guished Senator's satisfaction with the
amendment is paternal?

General Bingham and His Job.

The Mayor has implicit confidence
In Police Commissioner BINGHAM, and
the General does not feel like resigninR,
Everybody who wants to see fair play
and who believes that the General should
not be shot at when he is doing his best,
will be glad to hear that the Mayor has
not lost faith in him, and that he has not
lost faith in himself. New York has had
all sorts of Police Commissioners, but
never one who was more quick to learn
and could stand criticism better. He
brought an open mind to his task and a
stout heart.
1t is the Generals grit that impresses
people more than anything else in his
makeup. His optimism is also in his
favor. That he has a large fund of horse
sense to draw on the town is by this
time convinced. 1t is refreshing to have
a Police Commissioner refuse to bother
too much about little things. Il am
here to enforce the law, he said yester-
day. "Of course, it is more important
to get robbers, murderers and the big
crooks than it is to arrest a newsboy for
selling papers after 10 o'clock at night,
although even that has got to be looked
after"
There is a fine, manly tone in the way
the General talks about the lawful prop
osition" of making a success of his work
"A fellow hates to say he is discouraged.
The question whether or not this job
can be conducted successfully is an in
teresting one. To one who likes to work
the proposition is alluring. | haven't
got discouraged yet"
With his back against the wall, the
new Commissioner is making a plucky
fight, and he seems to be keeping his
head. He should have the help, as well
as the support, of all men who call them
selves good citizens.
