Exposes Methods.

Mr.. Terry, who operates a shovel
house." said he was formerly discrim-
mated against by the Northwestern
ia 'lway. For the last two years he
has had no reason for complaint. Tie
Missouri Valley mills, he said, refuse
to buy his grain. giving as a reason
that the Updike Grain company OF
Omaha would not sell them grain if
they did. and would bid up the price
so that they could not buy from farm
ers. Millers at Marshalltown also re-
fused to buy his grain, he said, be
cause he had no elevator and was not
a member Of the Iowa Grain Dealers
association. MIR Terry said he re-
ceived letter from Secretary Wells
of the Iowa Grain Dealers association
some time ago. from which he learned
that the association fixes prices for
grain and provides for pooling by its
members.

MINING NOTES.

Boundary mines made another big
record in shipping last week.
For the first two months of the
present year the ore shipments of this
district amount of $4,000 tons.
The Dewey mill in Thunder Noun
tain crushed 1864 tons of ore during
January, averaging 1854 gold. The
cost of the December run was only
$2.95 for mining and milling.
According to a we'll known mining
man, who reached Nome from Teller
few days ago, an immense ledge of
copper ore has been uncovered across
the divide at the head of American
creek, in the Port Clearance precinct
The LIE Roi, at Rossland, February
2S, paid a dividend of 1 shilling and
6 pence a share. The present divi-
dend, which amounts to $4,000, brings
the total dividends paid by the COM
pany up to $1,3S0,000.

at law have been dismissed by the
district court of Silver Bow county,

litigation in the state courts involving
the former opposing interests, with
the eXpection of a few cases in which
counsel were not authorized to ap-
pear. These will be dismissed later,
as will be 23 actions now pending in
the United States courts. Dismissal

REDS PREACH VIOLENCE,
Chicago Socialists Would Resort to
Arms to Avenqe Death.

Chicago March 1.-Two thousand
socialists, some of them of a radical
stamp, held two meetings Sunday and
pledged armed revolution and their
lives to the "workingmen's cause" if
Hayward, Meyer and Pettibone, Of
Miners, should be sent to the gallows
for the alleged murder of Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho.
There were speakers who urged
revolution by means of the ballot and
others who advised taking up arms to
avenge the death of the accused men
if they should be convicted and
hanged. Those who admOnished ways
of peace to accomplish their ends were
heard in silence. Those who preach
ed violence and resort to arms were
wildly cheered agai nand again The
temper of both meetings was plainly
in favor of radical action.
One of the speakers improvised a
poetical platform, and when it was re-
cited there was great applause and
shouts of Good, good"
Here is the way the lines ran:
Will Meyer and Hayward die
If they die. here's our cry:
There are twenty million workingmen
Who will know the reason why"
A collection amounting to several
hundred dollars was taken to help the
accused defend themselves in the
courts.

MOROCCO TROUBLES
FRANCE and GERMANY PROBABLY
WILL AGREE TO AGREE.
1t Is Said Both Sides Would Make Con.
cessions as to Reforms in Morocco
Paris Elated Over First Ballot Be.
fore Tribunal-Most of Europe on
Side of France.

Algeciras, March 5.-One of the dele.
gates having a most vital interest in
the conference on Moroccan reforms,
says that a settlement of the contro-
versy between France and Germany
now seemed possible, but he declined
to make known the lines the arrange
ment would take. However. the trend
of recent events has indicated that if
any settlement is reached, it would
likely be because France would make
concessions with refernce to the bank
question, and Germany in return would
adopt less uncompromising attitude
concerning the police.
The voting at Algeciras Saturday on
the proposition of Sir Arthur Nichol-
son, chief of the British delegation, to
proceed to the immediate discussion of
the Moroccan police question gives
great satisfaction in Paris, chiefly be-
cause France has ranged with her a
large majority of the powers, while
Germany is among the small minority.
Public tension was such over the Fran
co-German controversy that the vote
was welcomed both as a success and
as showing that France was able to
count upon almost unbroken support
of Europe. French officials have
claimed for some time that if a vote
were possible it would give France a
sweeping majority. 1t appears that
Saturdays division did not produce a
recorded vote, yet the powers aligned
themselves with sufficient precision to
amount to vote. All the French jour
nails give the division in the form of a
vote, the eight voting in the affirmative
being France, Great Britain, Russia,
Spain, Portugal, the United States,
Italy and Holland, and the negative
three being Germany, Austria and
Morocco. The officials here have been
considering Austria as doubtful, and
had Austria balloted in the affirmative,
the entire vote of Europe and America
would have been ranged on the side of
France.
The result also affects the diplo-
matte status of the controversy. Ger
many wants to settle the bank ques-
ton before that of the police, but
France does not wish to grant conces-
sions on the bank until she is sure that
Germany will make reciprocal move
concerning the police. Therefore, the
decision of the conference to consider
the police question requires that Ger
many shall say whether she is or is
not prepared to change her attitude
relative to the police. Germany's S
answer will thus determine whether
France will yield on the bank ques-
ton. The indications are that if Ger
many refuses to give way on the police
France will not yield on the bank,
thus accentuating the former deadlock
by carrying it into the open confer
ence.

Rome.-The village of Tavernola,
built on the perpendicular cliffs above
Lake Iseo, in the province of Brescia,
was almost entirely destroyed by the
rocks suddenly giving way, apparently
because the lake had eaten into the
base of the cliff. The disaster was
preceded by loud roaring sound,
which enabled the 1000 inhabitants to
escape.
One fisherman was killed. About
200 feet or rock and the houses on 1t

ANOTHER SENSATION.
Boise Authorities Fear Because of
Powder Robberies.

Io"oSI nobpSTlCos
Another sensation, which many as
sert has connection with the Steunen-
berg murder case, was brought out
Saturday at Boise, Idaho. During the
evening the powder house of the East
man-Teller Hardware company was
broken into and considerable quanti-
ty of No 1 giant powder taken The
robbers did not break open the door,
but dug a hole through the back wall
replacing the stones after taking the
powder. 1t is reported 400 pounds
were taken, but the company does not
think it nearly so much The powder
house of the Idaho Hardware and
Plumbing company was also broken
open, but members of the company re-
fuse to state whether anything was
taken. An attempt was also made to
open the house of the Carlson-Lusk
company Theft of the powder gives
rise to no little apprehension. The
suggestiveness of the theft is empha-
sized by knowledge of the fact that
many of the worst characters of the
Occur d'Alenes and Cripple Creek are
gathered in Caldwell and other points
in Canyon county. A Silver City man
saw one of the most radical agitators
of his camp in Caldwell, and another
man from Silver City reports that
many of the radical union men have
quit work and left town. He thinks
they are in Canyon county. Officers
have recognized several hard charac-
ters from Cripple Creek.
Threatening letters are numerous.
1t is said that persons connected with
the prosecution have been warned.
One is said to have been advised he
will be dynamited unless the cases
against Meyer and Haywood are dis
missed.
