Action Taken by Secretary OF State
Of Wisconsin.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 14.-Steps were
taken during the day looking to the
establishment of a 2-cent per mile pas
senger rate on Wisconsin railroads.
Secretary of State Walter L. Houser
filed a personal complaint with the
Wisconsin state railroad commission
against the Wisconsin Central railway
in which he alleges he travels ire
ouently between stations on the Wis
consin Central road, paying at the rate
of 3 cents per mile, which charge he
believes to be excessive and that a
fair rate of compensation for such
service would not exceed 2 cents per
mile, either for the past or future
service. .
The petitioner prays that the afore-
said railway company be required to
answer the charges herein and that
after due hearing and investigation an
order be made commanding said rail
way company to a and desist from
making the unreasonable and excess
Siye charges referred to in said petit

COPPER WAR At AN EA.D
r, AUGUSTUS HEiNZE DISPOSES
OF ALL MINING PROPERTY
AT BUTTE, MONT.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 14.-Arthur y.
Carbon, representing Thomas F. Cole
of Duluth, has taken possession Of all
mines and mining property of F. Au-
gustus Heinze and the United Copper
company in Silver Bow county which
have been in controversy or litigation
with the Anlalgamated Copper com
pany. This means that peace has
come to the warning copper mining
interests of Butte.
The announcement that a sale Of the
Heinze property had been made came
in a telegram from John d. Ryan,
managing director for the Amalga-
mated Copper company, who is now in
New York. Mr.. Ryan, with his aitor-
neys, left Butte for New York early
last November on the business deal
which was consummated during the
day. He was closely followed by Mr..
Heinze. Since then many reports had
been received that a deal was pend
ing, but no official announcement Of
the fact was made until the deal was
concluded.
The transaction involves property
valued at many millions of dollars. No
intimation has been received here from
official sources as to the terms of the
deal. 1t is only known that IJe:nze
has sold all his interests in silver
Bow county and that he has been
completely eliminated from. the cop
per mining operations Of this district.
His properties have been acquired by
interests friendly to the Amalgamated
Copper company.

HOUSE OF COMMONS MEETS

Reelected Speaker.

James William Lowther Unanimously
Reelected Speaker.
London, Feb. 14.-James William
Lowther was unanimously reelected
speaker of the house of commons dur
ing the day. In accordance with prece'
dent there was no opposition. The
house afterwards adjourned without
transacting any other business. The
swearing in Of members will occupy
the rest of the week.
The new house of commons meets
under conditions of unusual interest
and evidence of this was seer in the
wild rush for seats at midnight, when
the spectacle at the entrance OF the
houses of parliament at Westminster
resembled the entry to a pit on the
first night of a play by a popular
author. Nearly 300 of the members
are entirely new to parliamentary life
as a result of the upheaval caused by
the general election and the house OF
commons police had a difficult task IN
differentiating between members and
outsiders who attempted to take al
santiago Of the occasion to view the
proceedings.
The formal opening of parliament
will take place Feb. 10, when the
kings speech will be delivered.

Crowd Gathers at the Plymouth
Pier for Glimpse at
Rockefeller.
Special Dispatch to The Gail.

PLYMOUTH, England June 6.-The
Deutschland. with John D. Rockefeller
and his party on board, arrived here
today. A throng gathered at the pier
to get a glimpse of Rockefeller. and
the Standard Oil magnate was not at
all averse to showing himself. He
appeared on the decks as the steamship
was warping in and seemed in the best
of humor His conversation with those
about him was animated and he took a
deep interest in the doings ashore.
A number of passengers who disem-
barked here gathered about Rookie
feller to bid him good-by, and for a
full quarter of an hour he held an
impromptu reception. Judging by the
attention paid the American million
aire, he was a very popular person
aboard the ship.
In answer to inquiry, Rockefeller
said that he and his party were in
excellent health and that all had en-
joyed the voyage immensely His
appearance bore out the statement, so
far he was personally concerned,
for the magnate looked remarkably
well and was in a mood that might
be termed wholly jovial.
LIZARD, June 6.-The French line
steamship La Provence, from New
York for Havre, passed this point at
9:45 a. m. today. The Deutschland, a
Hamburg-American liner, and La
Provence sailed from New York on
May 81, within a half-hour of each
other and La Provence has apparently
beaten the Deutschland in time across
the Atlantic by about four hours
