New York, Jan. 1.-THE presence in
the city Of number Of Montana copper
men identified with the Amalgamated

Wall street today that the two interests
are negotiating for a merger. This, it
is said, will be carried out as soon as
the Standard Oil interests have secured
the outstanding stock of the Anaconda
company. A large minority interest in
Anaconda is controlled by Mrs. Marcus

about the only obstacle to the merger
plan.

washington. Sept. 5.-All tonnage
and navigation dues in the Phillip
pine Islands have been abolished by
an act of the Philippine Commission.
passed on August 81, of which notice
has just been received by the Bureau
OF Insular Affairs of the War Depart
ment. The act took effect Immediately
Heretofore. on the entry OF a vessel
from port or place not in the Phil
ippine islands, a duty Of 6 cents per
ton. but not to exceed 80 cents per net
ton per annum, as expressed in it's
international certificate Of registry,
was levied. 1t was provided that no
case OF vessel loading or discharg-
ling cargo less than the net tonnage
of the vessel duties of 20 cents might
be imposed at the option OF the con-
stgnee in lieu of the usual tonnage
dues. IN announcing the change, the
Bureau Of Insular Affairs says:
'"rhe government Of the Philippine
Islands was authorized to modify, sus-
pend, or repeal the provisions quoted
respecting tonnage dues by section
In Of an act approved February 6,
1905, which was continued in effect
bv section 20 of the act of March 8,
1905, above referred to. By this act
of the Philippine Commission, Manila
becomes in fact the only free port
in SO far as tonnage and navigation
dues are considered, in the Orient.
Hongkong, which is usually referred
to as free port, imposes tax, des-
Iignated light dues of cent Mexican,
per tom Singapore; light dues, Of 8
cents per ton; Saigor, is cents per
ton: Shanghai, 90 cents per ton, which
includes all tonnage dues at that port
and other ports of China for four
months; Yokohoma and other Japa-
nese ports, 2 1-2 cents per ton for each
entry, or q 1-2 cents per ton for q
period Of twelve months, without adj
dtttonal charges.
"The vessels most fayorably affect
ed by this will be those from the
United States and other places re-
mote from the Philippine Islands,
which, in general, had 10 pay the full
e cents per ton, under, the section
Ia of the act of March 8, 1905, here
tofore in force. The vessels least at
fected will be those sailing between
Manila and Hongkong, which, making
from "a to 80 entries in Manila in one
year, by taking advantage of the 80
cents maximum per ton per annum,
paid hut little over cent per ton on
each entry. This, It is thought, with

THE RICE ESTATE
Trouble Over Administrator Ad-
 journed to Wednesday Morning.

The fight over the. enthusiastically on the estate of the ,ate Archibald F. Rice was adjourned by Judge Lowe in the probate court this morning to Wednesday morning. The petitioners arc Sarah H. Rice, widow of A. E.. Rice; Helen M. Rice, widow of r. B. Rice; A. E. Rice, her son; Samuel F. Williams and his wife, Ella $. Will Hams. Colonel Burpee appeared for S. r. Williams and I. F. Kellogg, while Attorneys Root and Bronson appeared for the rest of the petitioners. Mir W illiams and Mir Kellogg arrived to- ward the close of the very brief hear ing.
 There will be no bother over the facts ill the contention. On that point counsel are agreed. IL is as to who shall be appointed, the trouble will arise. The petitioners excepting MT Williams and his wife and Mrs l.. I. Munson, who is sister of the late F.. B. Rice, will oppose disappointment of A. D. Rice. Whom the c0ntending side has chosen for the post has not been disclosed, but it is rumored that Nlr Williams is the person. The prop erty or estate in question consists of certain stock, some 4O9 shares in the Apothecaries' Hall Co. If Mir Rice is selected 1t will be all up with I. F.. Kellogg as practical manager of the concern, as the appointment will enti- tie him to vote oil his grandfather's stock, which is held in trust by h;ln for his grandmother. If, on the other hand D Williams fo oh thn management of the concern will be i'll the hands of practical druggist. MT Williams is interested in the matter through his wife.
 Colonel Burpee will espouse the se- lection of Mr Kellogg, who as treas urer of the company and actual man. ager, is entitled to good deal of con- sideration in the matter, he will claim.
 It is said that as soon as the appoint ment will be made, the adjourned an- nual meeting of the stockholders will be held and the election of officers will take place. For the past week or two a report has been i'll circulation that Mir Kellogg has all but bought up the block of stock belonging to the estate of the late Dr North, and which Her bert Rowland, representing it, has been trying to dispose of for some time. It has been said on behalf of Mir Kellogg that whatever portion of this stock he has bought, he did not buy it until after Mir, Rowland had tried to dispose of it elsewhere. If Mir Kellogg succeeds in buying up the entire block he can snap his fingers at those who are now trying to oust him.

IN POLICE COURT
Masquerader Fined 8 and Costs
 for Obstructing the Walk.

The Margaret Croft school furnish ed two alleged truants for the city court this morning. They were, Frank McCann of Miss Heringer's room and John Gallagher of Miss BaniOn's room. Both cases were continued.
 John Daily got tired yesterday noon and walked into the police station for n place to lay his weary heels. For intoxication he was fined S7 and costs and an old case on which he had been fined $10 and costs was revlved against him.
 Philip Brady was in similar condi- ton this morning about o'clock and he also walked into the police station. He was fined $7 and costs John Ryan was given thirty days for intoxica- ton.
 James Spalone, 15, has been in the county only six months. He has not yet divested himself of his old coun- try ideas and the other evening he masqueraded as nun. When Officer Lawlor took him into custody he ex- plained that he was going to carni- val of his fellow countrymen. The Of ficer did not object to that, but he did object to the fellow taking up the en- tire sidewalk and half the street and collecting a crowd. He was let off with fine of s and costs.

SOCIAL FESTIVITIES
Making Most of Time Before the

The past week has certainly been a busy one !n the way of amusement and the first couple Of days Of next promise to be just as strenuous on those who are accustomed to take in all pre-lenten events As next Wednes. day is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, all kinds of entertainments and receptions are now being given, for during the holy season the people for the most part let up on their amusements and deprive themselves of d little pleasure for seven weeks. Al most every night during the week there have been three or four dances. not to mention other events, and last night in this city there were about ten affairs. including dances. entertain. ments, etc. And glimpse into any of these attractions showed that all most everyone in town must have been out. A large crowd was present at Poli's theater to see May Irwin; Lea venworth hall was crowded to tine doors at the AIumnae dance: the Audi torium certainly had its share at St Thomas's whist party: Jacques had no empty seats; Hamilton hall in Mill Plain, the scene of the Hamilton Parks masquerade. had room for no more; the Wooster and Casino parIors had their usual number. and It Is no won der that a person made the remark that he thought every person in town was attending some affalr last even ing.

RAILROAD FARES REDUCED
Beginning April l, Two Gents Nile Will be the
 Rate.

New Haven, Feb 24-It is an- nOunced that on on the first of April the maximum rate of cents d mile OH the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Co will go into effect upon the Naugatuck, the Northampton and the Highland. divisions also. The reduce tion from the old rate of about 21A cents mile will apply to all the branch lines of those divisions.
 If the fare between certain points should call for the larger fraction of , cents the fare will be the next higher. multiple of 5. Should be fraction of , five cents be lower than one-half tlen the total fare will be the next lower multiple of 5. This will avoid the use by the company of pennies in making change. It is probable that, with the adoption of the 2-cent a mile rate, all mileage books on the Berkshire Naug- atuck, Northampton and Highland di- visions will be discontinued, as there is not likely to be any call for them.
 The very important announcement is also made that at the March meeting of the board of directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Co, President Mellen will recom- Inend general maximum 2-cent q mile rate upon the Old Colony system in Massachusetts. This is preliminary to q general reduction to the same rate upon all lines of the corporation in southern New England. It can also be stated on high authority that the gen. oral rodratinns nf nosSauuor tara apo to be followed later by reductions of freight rates upon the systems, espe- cially on coal.
