Interpretation. according IN 4 state
ment issued by the operator at Tampa
tonight. is unfounded and is due SOLE
ly to the fact that the san Juan oper-
ator was not aware of the presence Of
the yacht in the harbor.
Because Of interrupted communica-
uon. the operator al San Juan knew
nothing of the anxiety for the Nour-
mahal and when asked specifically il
the yacht were there, replied simpiv
that he did not know Soon thereafter
communication Was interrupted, leay-
ing the situation open. but in no wise
questioning the reliability Of reports
of the Nourmahars safety As given at
Willemstad yesterday and ar Caracas
again today by the steamship Caracas.
That the conversation between Key
West and San Juan ought hot To be
taken To indicate that il has not been
ascertained positively that the Nour-
mahai is not at san Juan. \ W. Hance,
in charge Of the wireless station at
Tampa. sent the Associated Press 4
message. in which he said.
Absolutely no truth i'll the report
regarding wireless received here via
Key West about yacht Nourlnahal not
being at San Juan"
Hance added that he WAS still TRYING
to get in direct touch with san Juan
in the hope of getting positive assur-
ance of the Nourmahals presence.

FIRST CLEANUP At THE BIG
DREDeE GIVES GOLD FAR IN
EXCESS OF ESTIMATES.
Ev ERYBOOY IS ElATtD
The Showing Demonstrates the Success
Of the Dredging Enterprise and Fore
casts the Erection Of Other Plants in
the Gold Bearing Clutches Of Mis-
souIa County.

The first cleanup of the big dredge
on Cedar creek has been made and the
figures reached here last night in n
letter from Alphone Lacasse to his
brother Treffle; the returns exceed the
expectations of all who have been con-
cerned in the exploitation of the drede-
ing project and in it's development.
The estimate of the results of seven-
day run of the dredge had all been
about $1,000: the cleanup was made
after a five-day run and the dust
weighed $3.50. And the cleanup was
not thorough; il was made earlier than
had been planned and was not COM
plete.
These figures demonstrate the sue
cess of the dredging plant" said Tref-
file Lacasse last night. as he discussed
the matter with Missoulian man
That weight of gold shows what the
dredge can do. and 1t means that there
win be other dredges at work one OF
these days in Cedar. in Windfall ana
on Deep creek. The cleanup fully jus
titles the faith we have had in the
project and warrants the expenditure
of quarter of million dollars by the
Peopie Hho nave put IN tne plant. 1t
means much to Missoula'
1t had been planned to make the
cleanup Saturday. When Superntend-
ent Kinsei was in town last week he
expected that IL would be done on that
date There was. however, a big cave
in of n high bank that necessitated the
suspension of operations Thursday.
and II was decided to clean up then
50 as to save time. The dredge had
operated ia hours. The amalgam
weighed 255 ounces and rom that gold
to the amount of S2.2S0 was recovered.
In this cleanup the hopper of the
dredge and some of the smaller sluices
were not touched: had the cleanup
been thorough. there would have been.
according to the estimate of Mr.. La
casse probably $500 or 500 more. But.
as 1t is. the returns are regarded as
very satisfactory. and those connected
with the work are delighted.
During Its run the dredge has not
been worked to its frIl capacity. More
over. 5i hours of the l24 were spent in
preliminary work, clearing away de-
bris on bedrock that had been once
worked. These facts make the returns
all the more satisfactory. but with
out any allowances they are good
enough.

Mrs. Snowden was something of a
disappointment to the members of the
woman's suffrage movement here. In
a lecture tonight at the Masonic tenn
pie she declared that American women
could not entertain the movement seri-
ously. The reason for this, she ex-
planned. was that. as there are 1000
900 more men than women in this
country. women here are treated so
well that they fail to appreciate their
political slavery. In England she add
ed. women outnumbered the men by
100000, and the situation is reversed.

Rush o. ders.

The departure of the marines comes
as II result of ruch orders sent To
the League Island navy yard after
the state department received the pre-
liminary report of execution of the
two men by President Zelayas orders
1t had been intended to send the ma
rines to Panama to relieve $50 marines
on duty there. The date of departure
from Philadelphia had been set for
December 3. by which time the troop
ship Prairie would have been ready to
sail. BY working night and day the
League Island force will be able to
finish repairs on the ship by Novem-
ber -.
If necessary the $50 marines now in
the canal zone could be utilized in
Nicaragua in addition to the 400 to be
taken south by the Prairie. With the
troop ship Buffalo on the Pacific coast
and the Prairie on the Atlantic. the
marines quickly could be transferred
from one coast of Nicaragua to the
other over the Panama railroad. Rear
admirals galore were at the navy de-
partment today. but in no instance
was 1t admitted that their presence
there had to do with the trouble i'm
Nicaragua. 1t was stated at the navy
department that shallow waters along
Nicaragua on the Atlantic coast
make the sending of a battleship there
useless and such action is not con-
templated.

A CRISIS m ENGLAND

Tuesday the British house of
Lords refused its assent to the
budget passed by the commons by
a vote, just before midnight, Of $50
to Is.
According to the unwritten con-
stitution the house of commons
has the sole power to provide for
raising the revenues of the country
and the expenditure of the same.
The present budget for that pur-
pose imposes tax on the unused
lands of the lords. also n small tax
on the unearncd increment of all
lands. This is a blow ut landlord
ism. the curse of England.
The issue will now 20 TO the
country. This means the house
of commons will be dissolved by
the crown and n new election or
dered forthwith. II England had
universal franchise the present
house Of commons would b. elect
ed triumphantly. and rs it is there
is but little doubt as to the re-
election Of that body. England is
getting tired Of the useless upper
house Of parliament and this may
b. its death blow.
