BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN. OL. X. N .243 DUTTD. MONTANA. MOWNAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1902. PRICE FIVE CT LONO MAKES LONGR EPLY WRITES EXPLANATORY LETTER TO SENATOR KNUTE NELSON. SAMPSON WAS IN COMMAND Courts Settled Question of Prize Money Department Having Nothing to Do With It - Criticism Alto gether Unjust. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Jan. 6.-Secretary Long has addressed to Senator Nelson of Min nesota, a long letter defending the navy department against what is declared to be unfriendly criticism in connection with the distribution of prize money apd boun ty. The letter Is called forth by one from the senator asking for information on this point for the use of a Western newspaper. The secretary declares that the criti clsm that the department has discrim against Admiral Schley in the distribu Inated in favor of Admiral Sampson and tion of prize money and bounty is un just, because the department has no con trol over this matter, the money being distributed from the treasury and all questions of law and fact relative to prize and bounty having been deter mined by the courts. The secretary calls attention to the laws touching prize and bounty as they existed at the beginning of the Spanish war, and says that, though advised by the attorney general that it might make a distribution, the navy department pre ferred to place the matter in the court of claims, and so far from displaying favoritism adopted the most effective means in its power to secure a Just deter mination by the courts of law of the rights of all concerned. Department in No Way Responsible. Touching the claim of Admiral Samp son for bounty at Santiago, the secre tary says the distribution was made un der a decree of the court of claims wlceh he cites and from which no appeal was taken. He further points out that under the prize laws the commander-in-chief of the fleet is entitled to his "one-twentieth" of bounty by virtue of his position as com mander-in-chief, whether he is personally present during the engagement or not. Says the secretary: "As commander in-chief, Admiral Sampson would there fore under the law have been entitled to his share of the bounty for the de struction of the Spanolel ships at Santi ago, if he 'had been on the north shore of Cuba at the time. This was the law, for which the navy department is in no way responsible." On this point the secretary says that the department itself was the first to realize the inequalities of the laws, and to make the recommendations that lead td its repeal, so that a rather amusing feature of the attacks made upon the de partment is that the administration is blamed more than two years after it had cured the evil." The secretary concludes from an ex tract from the report of the auditor of the treasury for the navy department showing the status of the prize money and bounty cases yet unsettled, owing to delays in the courts, and predicting a settlement within the year. The oath was administered to Messrs. Smith of Iowa and Weeks of Michigan, who had not heretofore appeared at this session. No business was transacted. .Mr. Loudensslagher of New Jersey an nounced the death of Senator Sewell, and in so doing he paid a warm and feeling tribute to the "citizen, soldier and states man," whose death, he said, "was the greatest loss the state of New Jer sey ever suffered." He offered the cus tomary resolutions, which were adopted, and as a further mark of respect the house at 12:10 V. m. adjourned. NOT MU XE DOING. Many Empty Benches on the Floor Crowded Golery.

California Inventor Has a Dangerous Glyoerin. Shell. (By Associated Press.) Oakland, Jan. 6.-B. C. Pettingill of this city has invented a glycerine pro. jectile, which, if the claims of the in ventor hold good, will prove of great importance. The mechanism of the in vention is a secret and Pettingill is now negotiating with the United States gov ernment for the sale of the device. The matter will be considered by the ord nance department today. The invention, Pettingill says,is a shell that will carry :without, the least con ceussion from 50 to 200 pounds of glycer ine oil as far as the ordinary shell can be fired by ordinary modern ordnance. The concussion necessary to project the shell, he says, is by his device re fleeted back to the sides of the shell, so that the glycerine oil Is not disturbed in the least. OOLOXBIA'B SIDE OF CASE. Venesuclan Grievances Are Not Found ed Upon Phot. (By Associated Press.) New York, Jan. 6.-In explanation of the note which the Colombian govern ment has sent to President Castro, de claring that the grievances of Venezuela against Colombia are not founded upon fact, a dispatch from Caracas says: The note is considered a dispassionate presentation of Colombia's side of the case. It is evidently an answer to Cas tro's communication to the Chilean min ister at Bogota in reference to Chile's offer of mediation to settle the Colom blan-Venesuelan Imbrogluo. President Castro declared in his con ditional acceptance of the offer of medi ation that Venezuela !emanded repara tion for the alleged invasion of Colom bian troops and for other grievances.

CASTRO TO BLAME VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT HAS CAUSED ALL THE TROUBLE. GOVERNMENT LIKELY TO FALL Revolutionary Steamer May Have Landed Troops But News Is Chaotic -Rebel Sail4rs Well Togged Out With Gold Lace. (By Associated Press.) Colon, Colombia. Jan. 6.-General Andreade, the former president of Ven ezuela, who arrived here from Curacat. yesterday, said today in the course of an interview on board a train bound for Panama. "It is not Venezuela, but Castro who is the enemy of Colombia. The Vene zuelans have absolutely no desire for war with Colombia. Venezuela an i Colombia during the past 70 years have always regarded each other as sister republics bound by the closest and most friendly ties, and they are now for tht first time enemies, thanks to Castro's machinations." Referring to the internal troubles of Venezuela, General And.'eade said he was satisfied the whole country was in revolt against Castro, whose govern ment was likely to fall at any time. General Matos, who, Andreade said was an immensely rich, honored man, a perfect gentleman, much esteemed and well supported in many quarters, would possibly be a candidate for the presidency once Castro was overthrown. Andreade added that he himself was unwilling to seek re-election. When questioned on the subject of the Vene zuelan revolutionary steamer Libertador Andreade said he was confident the ex pedition would succeed in effecting a landing on some Eastern point of the Venezuelan coast.

DEATH CAN BE COUNTERACTED Found That Death Is a Germ Which May Be Destroyed by Potasium Salts-Other Important Sci entific Assertions. (By Associated Press.) Chicago, Jan. 6.-E' xperlncuints which it is declared are a beginning of the un raveling of death's mysteries were made public by Prof. Jacques Loeb at the fourteenth annual meeting of the Amer ican Physiologic al society, ut the Uni versity of Chicago. During the lust summer the noted specialist has been continuing his series of experiments with the egs of the lower marine aninials. ccpc cially those of the sea urchin, and in a paper entitled "On the Prolongation of Life of Unfertilized Eggs of the Sell Urchin by Potassium Cyanide," he told it group of the fore most physiologists in America that by means of obsrvatlion of the effects of certain chemicals upon these minute bits of protopn1in he was reany to make a tentative definition of the here tofore unknown nature of death. Death, Prof. Loeb allirmed, was not a negative process, a simple breaking down of tissues, as it has been regarded up to this time, but an active agent born with the birth of the egg, and, destined, if not checked, to gain the utpper hand of the life instinct and bring about extinction. Secret of Eternal Life. But, greater even than the apparent discovery of this death agent in all life substance Is Prof. Loeb's declaration that he has been able to check it in the eggs of the sea urchin, at least, by means of chemical agents. This, it IF held, means nothing less than that on a minute scale the secret of eternal life is in the power of mankind. The experiments, Prof. Loeb said, were simple. Unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin were placed in a weak solution of potassium cyanide and abandoned for several days. In ordinary conditions an unfertilized egg dies in a few hours, destroyed by the death agents born with it. At the end of several days the eggs were again examined and were found to be still capable of fertilizing and of producing healthy animals. In explaining the result, Prof. Loeb said that the "mortiferous processes' were due to the action of certain fer ments of an unknown nature, whose destructive tendency was counteracted by the potassium salts. Several other papers of importance were read during the meeting. Prof. D J. L. Ingle of the iLalversity of Ch(iago, gave the rMtults of his research into the effect t of common salt upon the heart beat. lie affirmed with great emphasis that contrary to the statements of Prof. W. M. Howells of Harvard, salt is the sose agent responsible for the rhythmic ac tion of the heart. GUARDIAN REMISS CITED TO APPEAR AND ANSWER TO CONTEMPT CHARGE. ESTATE OF MISS MAMIE ROGERS James Wilton, the Guardian, Too Ill to Attend to thA Business of the Es tate-Judge M'Clernan Will Remove Him. In the estate of Mamie Rodgers, a minor, Judge Mc lernan tnis morning held a hearing on an order to show cause why James Wilton, the guardian of the young woman's estate, should not be punlshed for contempt of court. The order to snow cause was issued on the petition of the minor, and she was represented in court by Attorney Hour quin. The attorney stated to the court that a big bundle of papers in his hand were mostly orders of the same kind, directed against Mr. Wilton, which had never come to anything. He further stated that there was about $200 owing to the minor from the guardian which he should have turned over to her long before. Wilton'% Health Is Bad. Attorney Thresher, for Wilton, stated to the court that Wilton had been in precarious health for some time, and that he Is now shut up in his house and in a very serious condition. Mr. Thresher suggested that the court make an order requiring Wilton to ren der his final account, and then substitute some one else as guardian who could attend to the business of the estate, say ing that Wilton's remissness was due to his ill health. The estate, according to Mr. Thresher, consists of two houses, which are .old and require considerable attention ,tp keep them In condition. Mr. Bourquin said that he was willingg that the step suggested should be taken, and Judge McClernan made an order requiring Wilton to file his final account in the estate within two weeks. Miss Rodgers is old enough now to nominate her own guardian and will do so. Engineer Killed by Collision. (By Associated Press.)

HE HAD A BIG GUN MAN ARRESTED FOR DRUNKEN NESS GETS INTO JAIL ARMED. HID WEAPON IN HIS STOCKING Pays Five to Ex-Olicio Court andT a Says Harsh Things About the Jail and Custoctians Who Overlook Bets. "0. Milk" was the name put down op* pisite lin offence on the city jail docket. The allan was there because the bearer of it was too far beneath the waves of copius draughts of the thing that sting eth to tell his correct name. 1li had succeeded in conveying the In formation that he was a milk man and had lange dairy interents at some place which was carefully concealed under his hat. He had come to town to buy a few necensaries and Incidentally to indulge in a few luxuries. ilesiden the iiquid cargo, he had aecumulated other things of which the antute city jailer in his role of "Holotnon the Wine" knew not. It was in the morning hours when the snnoke lay heaviest that he was brought into the station and subjected to the usual search for concealed weapons, money and other valuable possessions. Nothing but money was secured in the "frisking." A few hours in the city castile brought realization of his predicament and Im mediately a mennage was sent up stairs to the effect that the cows needed milk ing and that he wanted to get out. He had sufficient money to pay his fine and the jailer kindly marked him guilty and appropriated $15 with which to satisfy the cravings of the court this morning. lie was then brought upntairs and after receiving a healthy cash balance, he began to do things. First he demonstrated the farcical na ture of the nearch when he reached down In his stocking and pulled out a'danger ocus looking "forty-five" which looked as big as a Krupp cannon to the astonished gaze of the jailer and policeman who had searched him. Then he flourished the weapon in ways most careless and de cidedly uncomfortable for the bystand ers. Then he said things nareastic about the manner in whlh he had'heen treated and sneered in lofty manner of the fu tility of a search of prisoners, His parting shot had a.psralytic ef fect on the officers present and the man of milk went on his way without being relieved of his gun, which had all along been ready for use in the jail and which mikht have beded danger for the jailers. "There won't be a man-br woman either-go into that jail with even a dime In his or her stocking hereafter," was the soliloquy of Solomon the Wise, as he re-adjusted !su feelings and smoothed out the creases of his little yellow streak.
