SlDENT'S TRIP ABROAD.

Unless there is change fn his present intentions, President Roose- welt will leave the United States soon after the inauguration of his success sor on March 4 next, and will not re- turn for two years. There have been several reports in the last few months regarding the plans of MT. Roosevelt for the disposition of his time after his retirement from the presidency. None of them has been authoritative. It is possible now, however, according to a New York paper, to make a positive statement so far as the present plans of the president are concerned. ..... Z, A considerable part of he two years which ne purposes to spend abroad will be devoted by Mir. Roose- , welt to the hunting of big game. He , is likely to go first to Africa. Re gently he had long conversation with man who has spent much time in hunting in Africa, and the presi- dent was intensely interested in the first-hand account of the sport which I he received. He feels that he has earned the right to put in portion of his time in the sport which most appeals to him. Where he will go be sides Africa has not yet been consid, cred. ..

THE MARKET VALUE OF COPPER.


 Recently we. have heard many per sons. in speaking of the mining con ditions at present, make statments that lead us to believe they expect considerable advance in he price o1 copper. that is. they seem to believe that the present price around thir- teen cents is much below its real val nc and that sooner or later the met al will bring sixteen to eighteen cents.
 Much as We dislike to appear pes simistic on the future market value sf copper, We cannot refuse to con slider the evidences which testify that copper is but very little below Its real value based upon the laws of supply and demand. says Mines and Mining. Consider fora minute, the possibilities of the copper camps of Risbee, Cananea, Globe, Jerome, British Columbia, Lake Superior dis trict, Shasta county, Ely and Cerro de Pasco in Peru-leaving out the quantities that come from the numer- GUS smaller properties, and the by product supplied from such mines as the Nt. Morgan. Can We then. when we know that more than one-third of the above mentioned camps have scarcely begun to. produce, blind our. selves to the truth, and continue to expect a high price for copper if regulated by the lay of supply and demand
 We do not mean to convey the i'm s<ession that copper will become 6 drug on the market" because, as the prioe lowers 1t permits of more be ing used, but what will fix its value is the quantity consumed and the cost sF mining. Many mines could make a pront on innocent copper. but these could not supply the worlds needs. consequently the market value is forced higher. until sufficient mines are operating to meet the require uents of the electrical, brass and oth- CT industries.
 Our conclusion is, that in the next couple of years the selling price of cooper will be from twelve to four, teen cents, and that any increase will be but temporary, due to unusual causes. This is is condition we can not avoid, since nearly all of our large producers can mine, smelt and
 refine the metal at a cost of ten cents. or less, and in many cases the gold and silver contents more than ray all charges.

Basis of the Story.

Chicago, Dec. 17<-The story of an
alleged peonage SYST VA and stoekade at
Summit, a town thirty miles from Chi
cago, is under invest CATION by the dis
trict attorney. Those who brought the
charges, declare that the stockade sur
rounding the plant Is thirty feet high
that Workmen are practically kept pris-
oners; that they were kept in debt TO
their employers, and some OF them es-
capped to tell their story only by digging
a tunnel under the stockade. The off,
Gals of the plant deny the charges, de-
claring it to be the result Of spitework
They assert they have taken only such
precautions as will protect them against

entering their premises without author
ity. a number of witnesses conferred
with the district attorney today, and
il is expected that any action that
might be taken will be announced
within a few days.

ers Quickly Completed.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 1.-Two unex-
pected surprises were sprung by the state
at the trial of the eight night riders in
dicted for the murder of Captain Quentin
Rankin, and resulted in the completion of
the jury this afternoon.
The state caused a sensation by filing
an affidavit signed by all the attorneys
for the prosecution, charging that J. H
Russell, the first of the two jurors chosen
yesterday. was the father of night rider
who had been sworn into the band by one
Of the defendants now on trial. Attorney
General Caldwell declared that the son.
Charles e. Russell, had participated in
several alleged raids. He told the court
that this knowledge of the relationship
came to him after he had accepted the
juror Juror Russell admitted the rela-
tionShip and was excused by the court.
When the next talesman was questioned
the defense attempted to challenge him
peremptorily. The state objected, raising
the point that the defense having used

hausted its legal number and two more

The shooting of Annis followed
1t is upon this statement of Storm that
