PRESIDENTS ACT APPROVED.
Committee Finds That Discharge Of
Negro Troops Was Justified.

Washington. Reports from the
committee on military affairs were pre-
sented to the Senate Wednesday in re-
gard to the investigation of the ARRAY
at Brownsville, Texas, which resulted
in the discharge without honor of three
companies of negro soldiers OF the
Twenty-fift infantry.
At the same time n message was re-
ceived from the President calling at
tention to the fact that the testimony
taken by the committee sustains his
position in discharging the negro SOL
diers He recommends extension Of
the time Tor re-enlistment of the dis
charged men who might be found not
to fall within the terms of the order.
There were four reports from the
committee, the majority being signed
by Senators Warren, Lodge. Warner
Dupont, Taliaferro, Foster. Overman.
FRAZIER and McCreary. A minority re-
port was signed by Senators Foraker.
Scott. Buikeley and Hemenway. The
majority report found as follows:
THAT in the opinion of the commit
tee the shooting was done by soldiers
belonging to the Twenty-fifth infantry;
that the testimony fails to identify the
particula, soldier or soldiers who par
ticipated."
1t is stated that there is considera-
BILE contradiction in the testimony, but
that. taken as a whole and reconciling
it wherever possible. 1t proves the case
outlined in the majority's decision.
The principal minority report was
presented by Senator Scott and takes
the position that 1t has been impossi-
BILE TO ascertain who did the shooting
and makes the recommendation that
the negro soldiers be restored.
In addition to this minority report,
Senators Foraker and Bulkeley turned
in supplemental report, which was
represented by Senator Foraker. Sena-
tor Foraker's report declares that the
testimony of the witnesses against the
soldiers IL not reliable and that no mo-
tive for their alleged connection with
the ARRAY had been shown.
A supplemental report signed by Sen
ators Warren, Lodge, Warner and Du-
pont declares that the evidence shows
that the assault was perpetrated by
members OF the battalion but that IL is
reasonable to believe that all OF the sol
diers were not concerned.
They recommend that II would be
justice to restore to all of the inno-
cent men the rights and privileges
which had accrued to them by reason
OF their previous service In the army.
A bill is presented authorizing the Pres
dent. within one year after the pas
sage Of the act. to authorize the enlist
ment OF any OF the men whom he may
be satisfied had no connection with
the shooting.

Reports received by the Uniteu States Geological Survey from the 43U mines in Montana producing gold, sil- yer, lead and zinc show that the toudI value of these metals in 1907 was $53, 6T0, ,592. as against S69,257,0S3 in 19Ob. These totals include reports from the 123 placer mines. which produced SIS. 006 in gold and silver in 19e7

The g. 149,619, approximately 11.5 per cent or all the metal values. The copepr piv. duction of 220,10S.972 pounds had a value of s44,0zI, ,75S, or more than Sz per cent of the total value of the metals. The combined values of the 3,74S.304 pounds of lead and the 24S,- 100 pounds of zinc amounted to $2lS,- 003, which is less than one-half of 1 ner cent of all the metal values.

Kirk, of lne United States Geological Survey, makes detailed report on the produc- tion of these metals in Montana ano reviews the condition of the mining industry of the state for the year. Nr. Kirk says:
 Tn connection with the dimiaution of production it is interesting to no tice that the decrease in silver for Montana was 2,663,423 fine ounces, while for Silverbow county it was g. l99, ,O62 fine ounces; similarly the de crease in copper for Montana was 1e,' 592. .IS3 pounds, while for Silyarbow county it was 70,943,423 pounds. Ob- vlously the gain in production of cop per and silver in other counties has offset in part the loss in this one county. From these data may Dc seen the wholesale effect of the re. striction of production in Silverbow county"
 By this great decrease in her copper production for 1907 Montana yielded her preeminence among the copper producing states to Arizona.

to their incorporation, an inventory of their latest balance sheet, if they have any, as well as a certificate prov. ing that they have been organized and authorized to do business under the laws of their respective countries, said certificate being issued by the minister of the republic accredited to each country or, if there be no mn. ister, by the Mexican consul.
 The documents usually required un' der this article are threefold, viz: A certified copy of the charter, a cer- tified copy of the bylaws and the certificate of the legal incorporation issued by the Mexican minister or consul These documents, when ar irving in Mexico ale placed in the hands of a notary D Iblic, who there upon presents them tc one of the civil judges with an application for the judges authorization to ''prOtocolize' them. The judge, if he finds the papers in order, Ini the translations, on the faith of an experts Ieclara- tiOn, seem accurate, hands down an order or "auto,' for the protocoliZa- tion of the documents which, for that purpose, are returned to the notary. The notary makes a comprehensive summary of the contents of the docu- ments and enters it in his protocol adding the original documents them selves to the appendix Of said ''protO- col" He is bound, under stringent penalties, to pay in at the stamp of flee the stamp tax imposed by law on the operation and he then proceeds to make a transcript Cf the documents or their translation, certifying to it's exact conformity with the originals. This transcript is called a "testimon- io," and when made out and duly at tested it is presented at the Commer- cial Registry for inscription and anno- tation. The 'testimoniO" is then de. livered to the representative of the company in Mexico to be held by him as evidence of the legal existence of such company in the republic.
 The chief expense connected with this formality is the stamp tax on capital which is one per mill for the first s500.000; 0.50 per mill on the second $500,000, and 0.10 per mill on the capital in excess of $1,000, ,000. It is true that under conditions foreign companies are entitled to a reduction of one-half of the stamp tax on that DdIL OI IutlE CdplGtl WHICH lS HI C& cess of S1,00O,0O0; but it is not al ways easy to comply with the re quirements laid down by Art 192 oi the stamp law in order to obtain this franchise.
 The amounts mentioned in the fore going paragraph are, of course, II Mexican currency. and capital ex i pressed in foreign currencies must for the assessment of the tax, bt converted into Mexican currency ac cording to the table of equivalent: contained in the decree of June 9th 1 1906.
 In addition to tae requirements o Art. 24 of the code Of commerce, Art 265 of the same code lays down thai foreign joint stock companies operat ing in Mexico must publish yearly balance sheet, together with the per sonnel of their management.
