New York, May 2.—Negotiations are
pending for the settlement of differences
between Augustus Heinze and /*e
Amalgamated Copper compatjy. Thu
company offered Heinze an attractive
sum l .r his Montana properties and the
proposition received favorable con

In the event of Heinze agreeing . ,
the terms of the Rockfeller contingent
the Amalgamated Copper company will
be free to take out ore in the Butte dis

It is admitted that while more than
one company operates in the district

reason the Amalgamated company is so
anxious to secure control of the copper
mining district of Butte.

a. mounted detachment of police and the
Louisiana cavalry troop, left the St.
Charles hotel at 9:20, after breakfasting
in his apartments with Mrs. McKinley,
and proceeded to the Southern univer
sity, a colored institution, where he was
enthusiastically received by the faculty
and students. The weather today is
clear and warm.
As the president entered the grounds
of the university he was welcomed with
"Hail to the Chief" sung by a chorus of
1,000 school children and accompanied
by the students' orchestra. Welcoming
addresses were made by George Alexis
and Ernest M. Théophile, bright pupils
of the school and the presidnt made a
felicitious response in which he said, ad
dressing the negro children:
Addressed Negro Children.
"I am glad to know that all over the
south where most of you dwell the sates
have provided institutions of learning
where every boy and every girl can pre
pare themselves for usefulness ant
honor under the government in which
he lives. The thing today Is to be prac
tical. What you want is to get educa
tion and with it you want good cheer
and with these you want to foster in
dustry and if you have diese three things
you will have success anywhere and
everywhere. God bless you."
Five thousand negroes attended the
reception, among them the leading local
members of the race.
Where Louisiana Was Sold.
From the Southern University the
president was driven to the historic cab
ildo, where a multitude hod gathered. It
was within the cabiido in the row now
occupied by the state supreme court that
the transfer of the Louisiana territory by
France to Governor Claiborne the Amer
ican commissi ner of President Jefferson
occurred. The l resident was received to
day by Gnxernor Heard, the state offi
cials and the members of the supreme
court promptly at noon and was escort
ed to a seat on the right of Chief Justice
E. Nicholls. President Fortier of the
Louisiana Historical Association was in
troduced by the chief justice and deliver
ed an address on the historical associa
tions of the cabiido. The president made
a brief reply jm.l an official record was
made on the minutes of the visit of Pres
ident McKinley to the court.
Afterwards the president spoke from
the balcony to an immense assemblage in
the streets. A national salute brought
the ceremonies to a close.
Visit New Orleans Battlefield.
The president and his cabinet made
their way with difficulty through the
acres of people surrounding the cabiido
on their way back to their hotel. They
drove through throngs of cheering peo
ple and the president's face was wreath
ed in smiles as he acknowledged the un
ceasing demonstration in his - « honor, and
after luncheon and a short rest, the
party, including many of the ladies,
boarded the big river steamer City of
St. Louis and visited the scene of the
battle of New Orleans. The president's
boat was accompanied by a s,?ore of
gaily decorated tugs and other craft.
The levee on either side were lined with
people. Tfie president's train will leave

During the parade here yesterday aft
ernoon, as the presidential party was
being escorted to the hotel, a wheel came
»CC ol the carriage occupied by Secretary
One of the largest share holders of the
Amalgamated Copper company, ad
mitted today that everything pointed to
a great union which would not only
control the copper industry of this coun
try but of the world. The development
of Butte copper properties, he said, had
been greatly hampered by litigation.
The mines of Montana give promise o:
producing copper in large quantities fo
yoars. The Anaconda mine which ac
cording to the enemies of the concern ;s
played out, will be producing as much
copper thitty years hence as it does
now. This is the opinion of experts.
Early this morning telegrams of in
quiry began pouring into Butte, one
read:
"New York. May 2.—It is reported here
that Heinze will agree with the Rocke
fellers so that the Amalgamated Cop
per company will control Butte terri
tory."
Mr. Heinze was shown the message
and with a characteristic smile he re
plied:
"I have heard nothing about it. I
suppose, though, it is great news."
Hay and Postmaster General Smith. The
carriage was moving slowly, and neither
the secretary of state nor the postmaster
general was injured. They immediately
entered another carriage and resumed
their place in the parade. The incident
escaped general observation at the time
and was not generally known until this
morning.

TO ABOLIS H THE LIKIN TAX
Rockhill Determined to Stop Petty Tax
Robbery by Provincial Officers to
Pay Their Salaries.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 2.—It is believed
here that the hitch which is said to
have arisen at Pekin over the proposi
tion to increase the Chinese customs
duty to meet the indemnities demanded
yb the foreign powers is caused by the
broaching by Mr. Rockhill of his plan
for the abolition of the likin duties as
a condition for his acquiescence in the
customs increase.
The United States government has in
teh past admitted a readiness to permit
the Chinese to increase the customs
rates providing there was no discrimina
tion between th powers. Minister Wit
says that the present five per cent rate
is totally inadequate to provide a sink
ing lund for a new loan.

THE HAVILANDS
BUTTE FAMILY MAY SHARE IM
BRAY CLARK'S $25,000,000.
A VERY OLD ENGLISH FAMILY
Vast Wealth to Be Divided Between
Relatives of Man Who Made Mill
ions in Australia—Famous as
Makers of Fine China—A Number
of Them in Montana.
A story conies from Denver to the
effect that the Havilands of that city
are probably numbered among the heirs
to $25,000,000 left by Imbray Clarke in
Australia, to whom all of the old family
of Havilands are related by the mar
riage of Dorothy Haviland to Mr.
Clarke. The Denver Havilands are now
endeavoring to figure out whether their
relationship with Mr. Clarke is near
enough to entitle them to some of the
vast wealth left by that gentleman. If
they succeed in doing it, Denver will
not be the only place In the United
States favored, for Dr. Willis Henry
Haviland of this city will then be just
as closely related to Mr. Clarke as will
be the Denver Haviands.
They all spring from the same family
and their antecedents can be traced back
1000 years. The family tree, however, Is
In the possession of Frederick Haviland
of New York, the well known importer
of Haviland china, of whom Dr. Havi
land of Butte is a second cousin. They
exchange letters.
Dr. Haviland was seen at his office
last evening and shown a clipping from
a Denver paper in regard to the estate.
After reading it the doctor smiled and
said that while he was a member of the
Haviland family he though the relation
ship existing between them and Mr.
Clarke was most too remote to entitle the
family to the estate. 'My parents," said
he, 'came from the New York family of
Havilands and we are all related, but I
do not know just what our relationship
is. Frederick Haviland, the New
York importer of Chinaware, and I ara
second cousins. We correspond with each
other."
The doctor then produced a letter he
had received from the importer and read
itt. Then continuing his remarks he said:
"Frederick Haviland has the family tree
and will know whether the Denver Havt
lands and myself are entitled to share in
the vast estate. There are also a lot of
Havilands in Michigan, all descendants
of the family, and two others' in Mon
tana."
The story upon which the Denver
Havilands base their claim to ■Çie
Clarke millions Is that the wife of fin
bray Clarke was Dorothy Haviland,
daughter of Kate Haviland, who was at
one time well known through the south
and came from the New York family.
About eighteen months after the mar
riage of Imbray Clarke and Dorothy
Haviland a daughter was born to the
young wife in San Jose, Cal. Dorothy
Haviland died and the father, who was
passionately in love with the mother, lin
gered on the verge of insanity for weeks.
Finally he rallied, but refused to see
the child, whom, he insisted, was the
cause of the mother's death. He ordered
that she be placed in a private home, and
sailed two weeks later for Australia.
Now the great Haviland family, whose
head is in New York is scattered. and
among them the Denver and Butte Havi
lands have a good claim on part of the
immense imbray Clarke estate of more
than $25,GQO,QOO.
