convention and deliver an address, pro-

Is 10 have such a resolution introduced

day evening. and Mr.. Bryan will speak
in front of the State capitol building.
It would be useless 10 attempt crowding
a small fraction of the audience into
any building. so an out-of-doors meet
ing is the plan.
Special trains will be brought in from
all the adjacent States and from all
over Colorado, and the expectation is
that 1900 people would come for the
great ratification meeting whom the
convention itself had not attracted.
Democratic leaders all through the
mountain country want to have the
scheme carried out, on the ground that
ii will help them at home.

The mayor is an ardent supporter of
Governor Johnson. and has been bring
ing all pressure possible on the New
York delegation to support johnson.
This pressure has been particularly
strong on Murphy. who has been given
to understand that If he does not throw
his support to johnson there will be no

Hall. This threat comes with consid-

Ordinarily. Murphy would be Inclined
to consult his own personal wishes and
those OF his associates and support
Johnson. but he does not care to be

he is not in good fellowship. Hence.
New York is slow in making up its
mind.
Mcclellan has the situation we'll in

COPPER

Boston-The Calumet & Hecla Co. price for copper is fl cents, although IL is temporarily out of the market.
 The United Metals Selling Co. price for electrOlytic copper is 13% cents, and that is the quoting price of some of the other New York agencies. though 1315 cents is about the price at which the copper business is now being done. The market is quoted all the way from 1874 to 13% cents, but 1874 cents is as much too low as 13af cents is too high.
 One of the large agencies says it is sold up through October. With a frac, fional decline in the price from 1894 Q $ cents to 1872 cents, there has been a renewed English demand, but very little business has been done on this basis, because the leading selling agencies are anticipating getting a better price for the copper by holding 1t. They say no accommodation is yet taking place, though admitting that actual consumption is probably not equal to the present production.
 It is not expected that October will witness any heavy domestic buying, owing to the approaching election, un Hess Taft's election should be very apparent, in which case some manu factursrs may begin to discount in anticipation of a very much better business later on.

MINING MAN
 PARADED IN
 CAGE AS WILD
DOUGLAS JoKERs PLAY GOOD ONE ON BEAUcHAMP WHO IS
 THEN plNED AND MINED AS A GENUINE THoRoueH3RED.

DOUGLAS. Oct. 3.-(Special) )-
 All day yesterday 8 party of conspi- rators were busy perfecting plans for a practical joke which was perpetrat ed to their satisfaction last evening shortly after seven o'clock, and created quite as much excitement and fun as the best badger fight which was pulled of in the city.
 There is prominent mining man from the south in Douglas who is some thing Of a joker himself and the con spirators planned to square some old accounts against him and open some new ones in their own favor, their scheme being nothing less than to make this mining nan a feature of the circus last night. In the morning some of the party went to the circus tent and tried to get a cage but were un- successful as there was not an empty one to be found in the entire show, but they were not discouraged and arranged to get a float from the Scott Transfer cohipany and have cage built upon it. Next sign painter used his art in preparing appropriate signs and the mechanical part of the joke was done, the completion of it depend ing upon diplomacy, and so much in terest was aroused in the affair that the English party which had intended to leave for La Dura yesterday delayed their departure for the day, entering heart and soul in the affair.
 All of the conspirators, and many others who had been told of wha, was coming, were on hand and the opening of the dining room had attracted many more, so there was good crowd pres ent when the float and improvised cage was driven up in front of the hostelry. l The victim was told it was time to start and innOcentIy walked out of the dozen stalwart conspirators and bus, tied to the cage.
 | Although a small man, outweighed by each of his captoTs by many pounds and outnumbeTed six to one the V, tim started to put up a fight and was doing we'll when he suddenly decided that
 urTender was discretion and discretion the better part of valor, so permitted i himself to be incarcarated without fur her resistance in the cagel abeled ''The Wild Man from Cumpas: he eats 'em alive''
 Jack Baglin was brought out as an nouncer or spieler and did his part well, as the wagon, with the "wild maIS in the cage, and about a two dozen of some of the best known men about town of Douglas paraded througr the streets and to the show grounds where the prisoner was released and feted on pink lemonade, pop corn and peanuts to repletion.
 Afterwards, at the Gadsden, and later at supper, he was voted a game one. and a thoroughbred and decorated with the red badge of courage" The victim says he nas the laugh on his prosecutors for not going further. as if they had put the cage in the grand triumphal pageant at the opening oi the show, he would have been game enough to go through with the whole affair and taken his medicine like a man.
 Doubtless the reader has easily es tablished the identity of the victim. Il not, for his information it may be stated that the Wild Man" ordinarily
 registers as H. c. Beauchamp.

Arthur Houle. of the br.n of Houle & Houlton, returned this week from an eight weeks visit in Duluth and other points of the Lake country, where he went in the interest of the Anderson-Apache company. He brings back only the best of encouragement and was entirely successful in his un- dertaking.
 In speaking on this matter yester- day, Mir. Houle said for the Dispatch: "My trip was a success and l made the necessary arrangements for the f.
 nancing of the company to whatever
 extent will be required. The Anderson Apache will practically produce suffi-
 cient ore to 1iquidate its indebtedness,

 between the 200 and 300 levels we will be in shape to take the ore out ra,r- idly and should be able to run .a . carload a day. The mine is in fine shape and is already proved
  In speaking of the conditions in the north, Mir. Houle gives very encourage ing news, T found everything pick i ing aP daily and the people again look ing fer investments. They seem to
 be enjoying life as well as ever, and although they felt the sethack the same as in other parts of the country. { they are recovering fast. They are all interested in the progress of the mines
 in the great Southwest and are ready to invest their money down here wher-
 ever there is a proper opportunity. The companies in the north are en-
 gazing in deep mining now and where | they formerly were doing work on the surface they are now going down. The mines are active and a great deal of i work is in progress"
 Mir. Houle leaves today for the An
 derson-Apacne, where he will spend several days looking after the interest of that property.
