Ï ß J. H. LEYSON Jeweler and Optician 221 N. Main St. Butte THE BILL WAS KNOCKED OUT Fellow Servant Law is Still In Effect BUT FIVE OPPOSED IT Vigorous Speeches Mode in the Senate —Work of the Two Houses Today—Biils Introduced. I i à\ ; ^ $ Special to the Inter Mountain. Helena, Feb. 2.—The senate devoted nearly an hour this morning In commit tee of the whole considering Stanton's bill, that if enacted would do away with what has been called the "fellow servant doctrine," as relating to damages sus tained by employes of railroads. The de bate was spirited, hut the measure was indefinitely postponed. Senator Stanton led off with the debate and was followed by Myers, who opposed the bill on the ground that it was an anti-railroad and anti-financial legislation. Connolly f.i I vored the bill, as did Hannah and Norris, gj I all maintaining that the bill was no more w ! than justice to railroad men, who, so long i as the "fellow servant" doctrine is en i»j forced, had no recourse in case they ■ÿ I were injured or crippled for life. Myers was the only senator who opposed the bill in a vigorous speech. He claimed it was but the entering wedge, that if en acted would be followed by legislation applying the same doctrine to mines and mills, all of which will act to the dis couragement of capital and the eventual reduction of wages of those whom it is now said to favor. The bill was even tually defeated, but five favoring it— Stanton, Connolly, Warner, Courtney and Hannah. Norris would have voted for it, but he was paired witli Clark. Stanton introduced a bill making rent a lien upon personal property. Notices of bills: By Myers—Two bills amending the license: also relating to attachments; also to the establishment of a state normal school at Hamilton. By Stanton—Creating a board of sink ing fund commissioners for towns and cities. One bill was introduced in the house by the judiciary committee increasing the number of justices of the supreme court to five. Stephens, chairman of the committee on investigation, gave notice of a joint session at 2 this afternoon for the pur pose of hearing the report. It was made a special order of business. Bills passed: Stone's providing free kindergartens in public schools. Day's providing a lien for boarding and lodging housekeepers.

Walsh's appropriating money for the relief of ex-Sheriff Fransham of Gallatin county. Clifford's repealing the act preventing the sale of liquors on Sunday. O'Brien's appropriating $11,000 for the state orphans' home. Senate joint memorial number 1. pre venting Indians leaving the reservations, was concurred in. f « i -jj A s 4 ÿj Th«> Sugar War Chicago, Feb. 2.—A special to the Record from Detroit says: Tlie commit tee of three Michigan wholesale grocers who went to New York for the purpose of making some arrangement whereby the sugar war might be stopped have re turned home empty handed. They say Mr. Havemeyer of tlie American Refining company would not enter into any sort of an agreement with Arbuckle, Doscher et al., and that tlie Michigan jobbers could buy where they pleased. When | Messrs. B. Brace, Lemon and Sanger of the Michigan Wholesale Grocers' associa tion were in New York they met jobbers from other western cities and a plan is now on foot to organize a wholesale gro cers' trust for the purpose of controlling the trade in the middle west. A meeting will be held in Chicago on February 8 to discuss lhe possibilities of such a com bination. Tori Sloane Was T.ucky San Francisco, Feb. 2.—The Examiner says that Tod Sloane has received a tele gram from New York stating that he has cleaned up $250.000 as the result of spec ulation in Wall street. It is said that before coming west Tod left several thousand dollars with L. B. Bell, a Wall street broker, with general Instructions to invest it as he thought best. No details of how the money was made have been received. Several Chinamen Killed Vancouver, B. C., Feb. 2.—Chinatown, at tlie big Chemainus lumber mills, near Nanaimo, in the Colcentre province, has been completely destroyed by fire and a number of Chinese burned to death. Near their work the Mongolians built a huge fire and proceeded to smoke opium. A cabin caught fire and the flames spread rapidly. They rushed blindly into the flames. Scenes of tlie wildest description were witnessed by the white settlers who went to the rescue. The flimsy shacks burned fiercely and soon they were a mass of smoking' ruins. It was ascer tained that at least two Chinese were burned to death. A number of others were badly burned, and it is reported that several others are missing. Town May lie Humeri New York, Feb. 2.—A dispatch to the Herald from Colon, Colombia, says: Ter rified by threats of strikers to tire the town, the merchants have asked for stronger military protection. The rail way officials are confident they could ex tinguish a fire if set, and the authorities have prepared to properly respond to an alarm. The crews of several steamships waiting on both sides of the isthmus to unload have struck. The press hints that serious international trouble is likely to arise because the ever zealous police have beaten some peaceable for eigners, mistaking them for strikers. Several complaints of such abuse are said to have been lodged at the British consulate. Cotton and Tobacco Chicago, Feb. 2.—A special to the Record from the City of Mexico says: C. P. McKie of New York, who is in the City of Mexico on his way to Tlahualelo, in the Durango cotton belt, says that the 1S99 crop will amount to 3,500,000 pounds. In quality he says the Mexican cotton is better than ever, and will range from the "superior" grade to the "good" and "middling." Wilhelm Wolf of Hamburg, Germany, has arrived here on a buying tour. He says that last year Germany consumed 2,000,000 pounds of Mexican to bacco. Since the Cuban supply failed the German manufacturers have been using the Mexican leaf. j WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE IRON TRADE " New Yor, Feb. 2.—The Iron Age, in its weekly review, says: Reports rela tive to pools and consolidations continue numerous. The feeling is gaining ground that the American Tin Plate company is on the eve of consummating the control of the tin bar supply through the pur chase of the plants of the Shenango Val ley Steel company, the Ohio Steel com pany, the Buhl Steel company, King, Gil bert & Warner and the Wheeling Steel and Iron company, having also made long-time contracts with other plants making tin plate bars in the Pittsburg and Wheeling districts. The sheet mills are working on a consolidation similar in its lines to that of the tin plate com pany and the western bar iron com binations. Five of the largest ear build ers are on the eve of fusing, one of the plans being to establish close relations with the principal steel car building con cerns. The cast Iron pipe consolidation does not seem to be making much head way, although more powerful financial interests may yet take a hand in the undertaking. The wire rope market is in a peculiar position, being now in com plete control of the large wire interest, the understanding being that the entire product of only tlie large independent producer is contracted for. In the smaller branches of the wire industry there is much alarm over the future.: Although it is reported that the requirements of the majority of the smaller works are covered for some time to come. In the pig iron markets quiet has reigned so far as the southern makers are concerned. In districts in which northern iron competes, southern prices are now relatively above the market. The additional offers nf large contracts of southern iron for export have been made, but have not been met. Only a moderate business is doing in the central west in Bessemer pig, which remains very firm. The open billet market is nat urally restricted through the fact that lhe large lines are now controlled by the two consolidations, who have made their arrangements in some cases for long pe. riods. Pittsburg reports the sale of one lot of 10.COO tons, and Philadelphia notes a 5,000-ton lot. In the rail trade the only event is the placing recently of an order for from 12.000 to 15.000 tons of girder rails by the Metropolitan Traction com pany with a mill in central Pennsyl vania. The l!rugua.van Revelation New York, Feb. 2.—A dispatch to the Herald from Buenos Ayres says: A group of Uruguayans, headed by Colonel Tezanos, mayor of Isumendi, proceeding from Argentina, has disembarked at Colonia. A police force attempted to oppose the invaders, hut without success. At various points in the republic have occurred uprisings without importance, but the rebels are well provided with arms and ammunition. Inrilnns Will Sue Niles, Mich., Feb. 2—At a meeting of the surviving members of the Pottawatomie tribe of Indians held at Hartford, Charles Pokagon was selected as chief of the tribe to succeed the late Simon Pokagon. Charles is the only son of Simon. Chief Charles declares he will take up and push the claim for valuable property in c'hi cago, which his father believed the Pot tawatomies had a title to. I I I Agalnat tlie Union San Francisco, Feb. 2.—Fred Hess, who sued the San Francisco Typograph ical union to recover $25,000 damages for having been forced out of employment by the union, he being a non-union man, has been awarded $1,200 by a jury in the superior court. Supnly Ship Sail» New York. Feb. 2.—The supply ship Solace sailed today for Manila, having on board seven army officers, fifteen cadets from Annapolis and a large cargo of supplies for Dewey and the army. The Solace will touch at Norfolk for more ammunition. a is is DEWEY OUGHT TO BE ADMIRAL Reasons Given For the Neces sity of Doing It. RANK WITH Who Now Take Precedence Over Him --Filipinos Not Capable of Self Government. CADCirMCDC rUKcIuliCK J _ Chicago, Feb. 2.—Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lee of Richmond, Va., who were tlie guests of Admiral Dewey on his llagship, the Olympia, for a week in the early part of December, are at the Auditorium an nex. Mrs. Lee is tlie daughter of ox Senator Davis of West Virginia and the j report was current a short time ago that she was the bearer of a message from Rear Admiral Dewey to President Me Kinley urging for state reasons that he be appointed admiral. Mrs. Lee pro nouneed the story to be absurd and with-I out the slightest foundation. She was at q of flr>cf jn 11 Dii pi** 4 tfi ill'll it pniiid a mss ai ni st io unuostand tnat it count have originated, hut afterwards said it in the the is is of are a must have started from a personal letter. She wrote to a friend in this country, in which she expressed the opinion that Rear Admiral Dewey should be promoted to the position of admiral, both out of re gard for the best interests of tlie Ameri can occupation as well as for tlie purpose of removing what was a source of much humiliation to him because of his being outranked by the admirals of other navies. Because of this fact and because of the duties imposed by naval interna I tlonal etiquette, Admiral Dewey was j made to appear in the light of an inferior I as compared with Admiral Dietrich of ! the German navy or the admirals of other I countries, whenever they should visit 1 Manila. : Mr. and Mrs. Lee said it was the opinion I of the American officers and other intelli gent people at Manila that when the I natives come to a better understanding] 'of the Americans the present prejudice will disappear and the natives will be come earnest supporters of American rule.. They say it is idle to talk of thej Fütrinos being able to "aintam a gov i eminent of their own, that outside or their leaders they are exceedingly igno ! rant and would be the tools of selfish and i unscrupulous leaders, who would soon ! plunge the Islands into a state of anarchy through their struggles for leadership. ARE DELAYED BY THESNOWSLIDES Denver, Colo., Feb. 2.—All trans-conti nentai railroad lines leading through Colorado are tied up by the snow. East bound trains from Salt Lake on the A at to Colorado Midland and Denver & Rio Grande railroads are stalled at Glenwood Springs, being unable to progress further because of the snow on the tracks. The westbound trains on these roads have pushed through the drifts as far as Eng le Pass, where they are blocked. Train No. 1, on the Denver & Rio Grande ran into a snow slide near Shoshone, about nine miles from Glenwood Springs. The mail car telescoped the tender and the baggage car was jammed into the mail car. the mail clerk and baggage master were badly injured. Their nam s have not been learned. The slide which caused tlie disaster is about 100 feet long and 15 feet deep. The road will pro bably be blocked until late this after noon. The Denver & Rio Grande east bound train No. 2 and the Colorado Mid land train No. 6, east bound are lying at Gleirv.'ood Springs hopelessly blocked by a heav snow slide in the Grand Canon about oine miles east, it is snowing very heavily. The train crews are apparently prepared for a long wait. The weather is mild and favorable to snow slides. FIïb Hoys Arrested San Francisco, Feb. 2.—Five boys, the youngest 12 years old, and the oldest 16, I have been arrested by Special Officer Thomas Madden of the Southern Pacific railroad company on a charge of at tempting to wreck a train. All live with their parents and claim to he employed at the glass works. M'hen arrested they were near a basket of rocks placed on the I track just before a train was due. The boys say they were "playing Chinaman." I They say one of them had the basket of rocks on his shoulder playing thot lie was carrying eggs and the others were trying to throw it off. They say a train had just passed and they were not near the track when they were arersted. I» n Severe Hliezarri Boise. Ida., Feb. 2.—One of the most sever blizzards in the history of Idaho, is raging in Lemhi county. A message from Red Rock, Mont., the Junction, states that all traffic over the stage line to Sal mon e'itv has suspended. Great loss of stock is reported and several people caught in the mountains, it is feared, have perished. Many Settler» Affected Duluth, Minn., Feb. 2.—Hundreds of settlers are affected by the decision handed down by Judge Lochren involving the title to about 1,000.000 acres of land in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. The decision gives tire t'<>__ ° the land to the J Northern Pacific r. 75 ' company. The suit was instituted Î- government to have restored to tl A lie domain the lands in question on o ound that they had been inadvertei -* itented to the railroad company. -p efense of the railroad was that tin % > were a part of its grant and in tl » 1 nf the ease tlie matter was hinged «< e interpréta tion of what was the terminus of tlie Northern Pacific, iad. Judge Lochren holds that tl'i inus of the railroad is at Ashland \ _crefore that tlie road is entitled to the lands, arguing i ,hat thp ,itle extends as far as its ter-j J ; minus. The secretary of the Interior de partment held that the grant to the j Northern Pacific road terminated at j Duluth. This is directly contrary to Judi Locbren's ruling. A NOTED CHEMIST GIVES HIS VIEWS Cincinnati, Feb. 2.—Prof. John Lloyd, a noted chemist who lias just re turned from Washington and who lias read all the testimony of the war investi gating commission, says: "About twelve years ago in searching for an antiseptic drug for preservation I was led to experiment with salicylic 1 ri ! acid aml SO( i ium boraeie. It is known salicylic af . ui bas a sweetish taste. That he I bora ,, ic has an scmi-alkalish taste: j neither are bitter. The reaction is not a new digcovery f or> in following it up, li at found it a mat ter of record but it was not . - , ,, n]a) . god upon . e. Johns wrote a paper it on u n nd it can be found in the Archive in ! 213-216 re I country and shall plat j experiment of years in the hands of tlie I Cincinnati branch of T . .ic 7 o\ 'no Der Pharmacie, volume 23 < lSi.,1 [ pages If equal amounts of borax and salicylic acid (or equal weights of each) are mixed, the mixture is bitter. If the mixture be dissolved in water the solution is bitter and yields a bitter product on evaporation that imparts an intensely bitter after taste, approaching colocyntli in persistence. 1 think in view oi the turn things have taken that, these facts should be matter of public record in this the result of my the American of I Chemical society." Senate Proceedings Washington, Fell. 2.—Platt (New York) laid before the senate tlie resolution the i adopted by the legislature of New York urging the immediate ratification of the peace treaty. In this connection Chand be- I j er called the attention of the senators ! tf) s j m jj ar resolutions adopted by the thej , , of Ncw Hampshire. ' Perkins and Faulkner were or ' named as a committee on conference toi ; the senate on the consular and diplomatic ! appropriation bill. Tillman offered the following resolu tion, which was adopted: ••That the president be requested, if not incompatible with public interest, to in , . , , „ „ , . _ form the senate whe. her any franchises or concessions of any character are be i ing. or have been, granted by any mu j i by which they have hern granted.' | At the conclusion of the morning busi the ! j j at ' a I ' ! 1 is ] liieipality in Cuba or Porto Rico since the military occupation thereof by tHe United States; il so, what they are loi', what length of lime and the aulliority ness Spooner addresssed the senate upon the Vest anti-expansion resolution.

The senators from Connecticut (Platt) and Colorado (Teller) have fully presented the views 1 entertain." Work of the House Washington, Feb. 2.—Two Dills of minor importance were passed by the house this morning and that body then resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill. HAVE RETURNED FROM MANILA San Francisco, Feb. 2.—The steamer Coptic arrived from Hong Kong and Yo kohama, via Honolulu, today, bringing a large number of army and navy officers ! ■ j at of 1 Japanese government. Mr. Scrymser says, j is willing to go into tlie proposition under ; certain conditions I from the Philippines. I sengers was John A. Scrymser, of the Pacific Cable company. In an in terview he expressed himself as encour ; aged to hope the cable would be main j tained and operated by the United Slates I government. He was of the opinion that I private capital would not take the risk j of such governmental control. Scrymser I ! was of the opinion no American cable I j could land in the Philippines or on the ! ; Asiatic coast without the consent of | ! English companies, which have control ; ling contracts with the different govern- ' ; ments, some of which run until 1949. The j is Lieutenant C. G. Calkins, who stood on the bridge with Dewey during the bom bardment of Manila, was a passenger on the Coptic, with a number of other officers of tlie army and navy.
