GEN. BAKERS DEATH
AT BALLS BLUFF
PrOposed to Erect Monument
on Spot Where He Fell.

Fifty years ago tomorrow, October q,
1861. occurred one of-the first battles Of
the civil war, within a comparatively
short distance of this city, at Balls
Bluff, Va, near the Potomac River.
One of the first to fall at that battle
was Gen. E. D. Baker, & personal friend
of Lincoln, a veteran Of the Mexican
war, and at the beginning Of the civil
war a Senator from Oregon. His first
speech in the Senate was in defense of
the Union, declaring that It must be
maintained at any cost. He went from
the Senate into the field, commanding a
California regiment at Harrisons Island,
in the Potomac With his regiment he
crossed the river and attempted to carry
blum held by the Confederates, being
killed at the head of his troops.
The present designation of the place of
his death is fence post stuck in the
ground, to which a little piece of board
is nailed, with these words. THE spot
where Gen. Baker was killed October q,
1861"
1t is proposed to start a movement for
the purpos- of erecting a simple but suit
able monument to Gen. Bakers memory
on the place where he fell.

TOBACCO TRUSTS
PLAN Is OPPOSED
Independent Interests Rally
to Fight Combine.

New York, Oct. 1s.-A rattling skirnish
fire of opposition to the tobacco trusts $
plan of disintegration and reorganization
came from many directions to-day, some
of them from sources that the trust had
thought would not join in the war
against its proposal now before the
United States Circuit Court for ap-
proval Important among the days
events were these:
A secret conference of representatives
Of ali sorts of Independent tobacco in
terests at the headquarters of the Ma
tional Leaf Tobacco Association, 141
Maiden Lane, at which it was determined
to intervene at the public hearings to
be begun october 80.
The Imperial Tobacco Company of
Great Britain, Limited, petition the
United States Court for permission to
join others in the intervention. in spite
of the fact that in its so-caIled disso-
luton plan the trust claims to have re-
leased the British concern from the
hard and fast agreement under which
the foreign corporation has been COM
pletely shut out of the American market.
The Imperial Company seeks the disso-
luton of the agreement by which it has
been prevented from purchasing more
than a limited quantity of leaf tobacco
in the United States.
Arrangements were made for a confer
enCe in New York Of the attorneys gen
eral Of North Carolina, Virginia, and
South Carolina to study the pending
plan Of dissolution, with a view of pro-
tecting the interests OF the bright to-
bacco producers OF those States

TR0UsSEAU BURNS UP,
Wedding VIII BE Postponed Be-
cause of ErIebacher Fire.

somewhere IN the city a wedding and
us joys must wait dreary weeks be-
cause a brides trousseau vanished in
thick smoke at 4 fire in Gustave Erie
bacher's cloak and suit store, at 1122 F
street, early yesterday morning. Erie
bacher declines to give out the name of
the bride-to-be, but he was fully conf
dent that the wedding bells will not
ring on time. The watchman on the
beat sent in the first alarm. The mem
bers OF No. 16 Engine Company also
sent in an alarm when they saw the
flames were shooting clear up through
the third story.
Leaving the trousseau totally out of
the question, Fire Marshal Nicholson
told the reporters the fire had damaged
the building AMI stock somewhat close
to 5000, although Mr.. Erlebacher, re-
viewing the ruins OF his late business,
would say nothing at all. A gas stove
is believed to have burned all night and
in some way set fire to things in the
workroom.

much is there and for this reason no
estimate was attempted in the an
nual report of the company. ! read
the story of the report of the COM
pany in the White Pine News. and
that was the real story. That was
the story which should have gone
out in the first place, for the report
was open to the newspapers as we'll
as to the stockholders. From those
first publications the people consider
ed that 1.36 per cent cooper was

states without equivocation, that the
figures are for net recovery; and
that is exactly what the report
means
The present work is directed to-
ward the opening up of the Alpha
ores, in order to get the property
upon a producing basis as soon as
possible, and this will be, | think, in
about two or three months
Mr.. Kennedy was told that the
people of the district were most
anxious to know when and where the
coneentrator and smelter We're to be
built.
THE eoncentrator will be provid-
ed. without doubt" he responded; !;
''and If possible. upon our own
ground. In this regard. the sub
jeet is covered fully in the report of
/ Mr.. Mills. general manager of the
company 1t depends upon the
amount of water which il developed
in the Alpha workings. If there be
sufficient water to operate the con-
centrator the latter will be put up
on the property; if not another To-
cation must be found for it.
Mr. Mills. in his report says:
while We will certainly get a large
! flow of water when we tap the Alpha
workings. yet it is uncertain what
the coming water will be that can
be counted on for a steady supply
to furnish a concentrator for the
porphyry ore of the company and for
smelter. but this question will be
fully solved early in this coming
year" 1911.)
President Cole, in his report says:
1T is expected that the Giroux prop
erty will be producing high grade
direct smelling ore within the next
! three or four months (the report is
dated Feb. ~ and We are now
negotiating with the railways for
reasonable rates on the ore to smell

smelling proposition is fully solved
