He also said that said Baker could see Mrs. Eddy that day, if he would go down to the street corner about ? o'clock and stand there and see her drive by in her carriage. This he refused to do, gave up the ef- fort and never received any reply to his request for an interview.
 "That he believes that Mrs. Eddy is virtually a prisoner in her own house; that she is kept secluded by the defendants, Frye and others, and that she is not capable under all her conditions of managing her own busi- ness but that it is all in the hands and control of said Frye and others, so that there has not been a due and proper accounting by those self-constituted guardians of her person and property" ,"
 John W. Kelley and N. W. Martin, counsel for the plaintiffs, had an inter- view this afternoon with General bTank s. Streeter, counsel for Mrs. Eddy but at its conclusion the lawyers re- fused to give any statement to the press. It was said, however, that no notices or subpoenas would be issued tonight or tomorrow.
 Mrs Eddy sent her private carriage this afternoon for her cousin, former Congressman Henry M. Baker of Bow who was at the state house. General Baker made a long call at Pleasant View and on his return stated that he had discussed with Mrs. Eddy both personal an legal matters. He said that she was in her usual health and spirits and that while she was con- cerned about te pending proceedings he did not think they would have any injurious effect upon her.

IMPORTANT BILL RECALLED.
Radical Measure to Prevent Big Mining
 Merger.

Merger.
 Lansing, Mich, March 1.-The state senate tonight voted unanimously to recall from the governor the mining corporation bill that was rushed through both houses last week. After recalling the much discussed bill the senate voted to lay it on the table. Representative Lord will introduce an- other bill to restrict the merging of mining companies. The new bill will aim to meet the constitutional and other objections that were urged against the one recalled. Satur- day, when Governor Warner gave a hearing at Detroit to representatives of the copper mining companies, it was urged against the bill that taking away gally acquired was virtually rendering that stock worthless, and this was characterized by the mining company lawyers as a breach of faith oil the part of the state. Representative Lords substitute will be silent on the question of voting any stock legally held, but will prohibit mining compa nies from acquiring stock in producing or competitive mines.
 The bill that was recalled to-day was opening aimed to prevent the Calumet & Hecla Copper Mining company from acquiring control of the Osceola mine on Thursday at the annual meeting of the Osceola in Boston. The bill, if it had been signed by Governor Warner, would have prevented the Calumet & Hecla from voting the Osceola stock which it has acquired, and which, with proxies secured, were expected to give 1 it control of the Osceola as well as of the Centennial and Allouez mines. Governor Warner to-day continued here the hearing begun Saturday al Detroit, representatives of the Iron Mining company being heard this aft ernoon in opposition to the bill, Gov ernor Warner, it is understood, after to-day's hearing was in accord with the senates wish to have the bill re- called.
