STOCKTON, .Nov. 16.— Stockton was
jiven a very low rate for electric light-
Ing to-night when bids were received
by the City Council for next year's con
tract. The American River Electric
is building toward this city
and announced that it would bid, so
the Stockton Gas and Electric Com
pany, represented by F. A. Hihn. as
president, induced the Standard Elec
tric Company to make a big cut in its
service and bid to furnish the city
lights for $3 79, the lowest rate in the
United States. The American Com
*pany*s bid was $4 40.
The old , rate now being charged is

build a municipal plant, but the sharp
competition between rival companies
will probably result in an abandonment
of the city's project.

LONDON, Nov. 17. — According to the

issued a statement in which 'he an
nounced the policy of the company. He
said that if an extra session of the Leg
islature were called and proper legis
lation passed insuring fair trials — that
is, impartial Judges to try cases in thu
District Court and review the facts In
equity cases In the Supreme Court— the
mines and smelters would resume oper
ations.
GOVERNOR TOOLE'S ATTITUDE.
Before calling the extra session Gov
ernor Toole addressed a letter to Scal
lon, in which he said that the inherent
Infirmity of President Scallon's propo
sition, as well as of the petitions, was
that which made the passage of the
legislation mentioned a condition prece
dent to the resumption of work by the
several companies. Governor Toole
said that, nowever much he prayed for
a resumption of work on account of the
present and prospective conditions of
those lately employed in the suspended
Industries and the business Interests of
the communities directly affected, he
was firm in his opinion that It were far
better for the State of Montana as a
whole that this calamity, bad as it was,
should continue indefinitely than that
a precedent should be established by
which legislation of a given kind should
be made a condition precedent to the
doing or omission of any act by any
corporation or individual in this State.
Governor Toole made the proposal, so
to speak, to call 'the extra session If
President Scallon and the other man
agers of the works recently suspended
would at once resume operations. Upon
receipt of the letter, President Scallon
and the other managers addressed a
communication to Governor Toole, re
plying in the affirmative. The procla
mation was at once issued, and an hour
later the men were going toward the
mines and smelters in Butte, Ana
conda and Great Falls, In readiness to
begin work on the next shift.
PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
In all parts of the State everything
in the industrial lines is already as
suming its normal shape. The trouble,
however, has only been postponed a
few weeks, and - Helena will be the
arena for the combat, which will dem
onstrate whether F. Augustus Heinze
or the Amalgamated Copper Company
will reign. Heinze Is massing his forces
for battle and will no doubt use all his
strength and energies to prevent the
"fair trial" bills passing, which would
result in his mining litigation being re
moved from the District Courts of Sil
ver Bow County. The Amalgamated
Copper Company is confident, however,
that It can secure the enactment of
such legislation, as it claims a majority
of both houses of the Legislature.
At the session two years ago a "fair
trial" bill was passed, but when it was
attempted to put It into force the ques
tion as to its constitutionality was
raised. The case was taken Into the
Supreme Court, . which rendered a de
cision declaring it unconstitutional.
Heinze was again victorious. It will
now be up to the Amalgamated to have
bills. framed that will stand the test —
that cannot be declared unconstitu
tional by the Supreme Court.
The scenes of two, four and six years
ago, when Heinze and Senator W. A.
Clark were linked together against a
common . enemy, and when they .fought
each other; when Clark was -arrayed
against the late Marcus Daly, and the
memorable fight carried Into the cham
bers of the White House in Washing
ton; when F. Augustus Heinze fought
the Amalgamated . Copper Company
tooth and nail, are recalled vividly
during these v days preceding the special
sesson of the Legislature.
In the meantime, the legislative
halls are being put into order for the
second special session called within
two years; hotels are receiving calls
for rooms and the lobbyist is abroad.
It is expected that each side will have
a large following of the latter and that
they will be "getting busy" within a
short time.
Discretion is the better part of minding
your own business.

COMPMCATIONS MAKE
LAWSUIT INTERESTING
Contest Over Will in San Diego En-
The direct cause of the shutdown of
the Amalgamated properties in Mon
tana on October 12 were two decisions
recently handed down by Judge Wil
liam Clancy in Butte. One gave the
Minnie Healy mine to F. Augustus
Heinze. This is valued at $10,000,000
and the case was being tried for the
second time. ¦ In the first trial Judge
Clancy decided In favor of Heinze and
the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, which sent it back for a new
trial.. Judge Clancy again rendered a
decision in favor of Heinze and another
appeal will be taken. The second de
cision was the one which prevented the
Amalgamated Copper Company voting
any of the stock of the Boston and
Montana Company, an injunction be
ing issued against the company. This
suit was instituted by John MacGin
nlss, agent for Heinze.
The Amalgamated Copper Company
then claimed that it could not obtain
fair trials in the Judiciary of Silver
Bow County and announced that until
legislation was enacted Insuring: it fair
trials It would close Its works. The tlo
up came and more than 20,000 men were
thrown out of employment, either di
rectly or indirectly. In Butte alone it
cut off a pay, roll of $25,000 a day. Rail
roads laid off their fright crews for
merly engaged in hauling ore to the
smelters and coal from the mines;
storekeepers discharged their clerks
and various industries. were paralyzed.
The Cokedale coal, mines shut down
and lumbering crews In Western Mon
tana were discharged. Business in
Butte was practically suspended and
the effect reached even Into Utah and
W,yoming, where coal mines drawn
upon by the Amalgamated felt the
effect of the storm. ; . ,
Shortly after the shutdown President
William Scallon of the. Anaconda Cop
per Mining^ Company, in response to an
inquiry from the Butte Miners' Union,
TWO FAMOUS DECISIONS.
In accordance with Governor Toole's
letter from President William Scallon
of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany, the latter's properties in Butte
and smelters in Anaconda and Great
Falls have resumed work and more
than 20,000 men who have been idle
for two weeks are again employed.
How long this condition will last is not
known and many persons are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the legislative
session. If that body fails to pass laws
to relieve the present situation in the
courts the public, shudders even to
think of what may be the next move
in the greatest copper war ever waged.
From the time of the closing of the
Anaconda Copper Company's prop
erties in Montana petitions from labor
organizations throughout the State', to
gether with lengthy documents from
other organizations, poured into the
executive office in Helena asking Gov
ernor Toole to call an extra session.
Twenty were received in one day and
they came from all portions of North
ern, Central and Western Montana.
Petitions and letters received repre
sented almost three-quarters of the
population of the western half of Mon
tana, and as the wishes of the people
were thus conveyed Governor Toole
called an extra session.

! DEBATE OPENED BY PAYNE.
Payne opened the debate, urging the
passage of the bill. Payne said that no
harm would be wrought' to the sugar
industry by the legislation now pro
posed and likewise the tobacco industry
could not be harmed by ..the proposed
new arrangemc-nt. He added that, no
industry would be affected by the per
fection of the treaty. He said, in reply
to an inquiry, that he did not expect
new industries' to, be established while
this question was being agitated.
; . "Our national pride appeals to us to
pass the bill," said Payne, in conclu
sion. ; .. , .. * . . ;¦
Williams denied that the minority de
sired to amend the bill in. order to.kfll
the treaty.. He read the minority rfe
port, giving the reasons why. the mi
nority desired to amend the 'bill. Wil
liams held the Republicans responsible
for the fact that the treaty was not- in
effect to-day. Referring, to Payne,
Williams said: ' \ .. . „ -
"As to that part of his 'speech 'which
advocates this bill upon Its merits," it
is almost as sudden a conversion " as
1 that of St. Paul on his way to Damas
cus; it is almost as sudden. an occur
rence as was the recent birth of the
new republic of Panama." ; .
Williams spoke only a few minutes,
reserving the' right to class sJhe debate
for the minority.
ATTACKS TARIFF POLICY.
With the announcement of the vote
Williams asked for unanimous consent
to propose an amendment to the rule
for an aye and no vote on tho amend
ment reported by the minority, with
twenty minutes' discussion fan each
side, a vote then to be taken on the
bill. Payne objected. The House then
went into committee of the whole With
Sherman of New York in the- chair.
The short debate which preceded the
adoption of the rule was followed by
several speeches on the merits of the
measure. Payne opened the debate in
a speech whose keynote was that the
measure would not affect injuriously
sugar, tobacco or any other interests.
For the minority. Representatives Wil
liams of Mississippi, Swanson of Vir
ginia and Robinson of Indiana made
speeches criticizing the Republicans
for their tariff policies and the exces
sive taxation of the duty. Robinson
predicted danger to our foreign com
; merce from higher foreign tariffs un
; less we Incited tariff reforms, and de
clared the tariff question again would
become a burning political issue.
I DAiZELL REPORTS THE RULE.
Dalzell (Republican) of Pennsylvania
i reported the resolution providing that
! the bill reported from the Ways and
[ Means Committee should be considered
I to the exclusion of other business until'
; 4 o'clock Thursday, when a vote should
I be taken without intervening motion.
Williams of Mississippi, speaking for
j the minority in opposition to the rule,
! declared it was about the most drastic
j rule ever Introduced in the House, as
! it shut off all right to perfect the bill.
, He said that the minority desired to
offer an amendment which proposed
i to strike out ' the "double-barreled
i pledge" contained in the bill. Ap
; plause from the Democratic side greet-
I en the statement that the bill tore down
] one-fifth of the schedules built up by
i the Republicans. The amendment it was
i desired to offer was the one decided
upon in the Democratic caucus on Sat
urday night.
Dalzell, replying to the charge that
j the rule was a most drastic measure,
] reverted to the time when the Wilson
i bill was pending, Crisp being Speaker,
J saying that he commended the minority
j to a study of its own parliamentary
I history.-
Williams demanded the ayes and
noes on the adoption of the rule and
they were ordered. The rule was
adopted, 176 ayes to 155 noes. . ,
cial session, adopting a
doture rule by a party vote, with the
exception that six Republican mem
bers from Michigan and California
Joined the minority In opposition to the
rule. The Democrats opposed the rule
on the ground that it was drastic and
prevented a vote being taken on any
amendment . to the, bill, while 'the six
Republican vptes cast against ¦ it in

antagonistic to beet sugaxvlnterests.

WASHINGTON, : Nov. 16.— When' the
Senate convened ' to-day several petitions
protesting "against Senator Smoot retain
ing his seat were presented and deferred
to the Committee on Privileges arid Elec
tions. After a short ' executive • session
tho Senate adjourned.
More Petitions Against Smoot.
The resort says that If the amend
ment Is adopted the minority would
gladly vote for the bill; but, even if de
feated, they recommend its- passage,
"because," the report Plates, "we think
that the good to be done by- Its passage
will far overbalance the evil which will
result from a failure to take advantage
of the opportunity to diminish the pow
er of the sugar trust." ¦
"Because," the report says, "in .our
opinion we would thereby deprive the
great sugar trust of this country of
some of , its power to extort from the
consumer, curtail Its power to bear
down the price "of the raw material,
thereby injuring the sugar planter, and
lessen its ability to dictate to wholesale
and. retail dealers in sugar the manner
In which they shall do business and the
price at which they shall sell refined
sugar."
Robinson of Indiana, taking as his '
text a treasury statement, argued f
against the Republican policy, which, j
he said, was that of excessive taxation. |
At 4:44 o'clock the committee arose j
and the Speaker announced the follow- j
ing members bf the Committee on En- |
rolled Bills: Wachter of Maryland, j
Burke of Pennsylvania, Wilson of 1111- !

MINORITY REPORT IS FILED.
A minority report setting forth the
views of . Williams of Mississippi,
Swanson of Virginia, McClellan of New
York and Clark of Missouri on the
Cuban bill was filed in the House to
day. Cooper of Texas, also a member
of the minority on the Ways and
Means Committee, presented a lengthy
-report condemning the Cuban treaty
in toto.
Cooper does not believe Cuban reci
procity will benefit either Cuba or the
United States. In his opinion, he says,
there also are grave doubts regarding
the constitutionality of the bill.
The proposed legislation. Cooper says,
is both undemocratic and unrepublican
— undemocratic, because the bene- i
ficiaries are the sugar refining interests ;
and some other special interests, and |
the benefits they will receive will have j
to be made by an additional tax on the
whole people upon some other article;
unrepublican, in that it deliberately j
seeks to injure and Interfere with a
home industry by lowering tariff rates
which protect that Industry, and thus
directly inviting and stimulating a for
eign industry. The treaty, he says,
violates both the principle of the tariff
for revenue and tariff for protection."
One of the strongest objections to the
bill lies against the*extraordinary sup
plemental provision prohibiting the
House of Representatives from making
any further reductions in the duty on
sugar during the life of the treaty.
Legislation such as is proposed in this
bill, he declares, will assuredly anger
and alienate other friendly powers.
TEXT OF MINORITY REPORT.
The minority report, signed by four
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee, states that the bill
should be amended by striking out the
provision that no reduction in sugar
duty should be made during the life of
the treaty, declaring that one Congress
has no right to bind succeeding Con
gresses, and, by inserting an amend
ment, striding out the differential on
refined sugar. .-. ' t
passed in other countries in retaliation I
for the Dingley act. He. insisted that
unless concessions were made from the
present tariff before long - all \ Europe \.
would be combined in commercial war
fare against the United States. He dis- [
cussed Chamberlain's policy, saying I
that 55 per cent of our foreign trade j
was with the United Kingdom and her \
colonies, all of which, he said, was t
jeopardized by this policy. Swanson j
then discussed the evil 'which he said j
resulted from the failure of this coun
try.to negotiate. a treaty .with Canada.
The exclusive policy of the Dingley act,
he declared, would destroy our for- !
elgn commerce, arfd" he remarked that j
the Republican party would never mod
ify it. •.

CALL BUREAU, 140C G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Con
verse J. Smith, special agent of the
customs service, stationed at Boston,
who was mentioned as the possible,
choice for Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury before the appointment of
Keep, resigned by wire to-day, f Secre
tary of the Treasury Shaw immediately
telegraphed his acceptance of the res
ignation. His resignation follows hard
upon the Inquiry made by the Treas
ury Department into the operations of
his office in connection with the case of
the Glasgow Manufacturing Company
of Boston, the alleged operations of
which have, it is estimated, cost the
Government hundreds utf thousands of
dollars. The attention of the Treasury
Department was directed to this firm
several months ago by evidence that it
was selling imported lace goods at re
markably low figures— so low as to
cause the suspicion that the goods had
not paid the full amount of duty re
quired by the Dingley law.
Smith, being the \ special agent in
charge of the investigation of irregu
larities at the port of Boston, was di
rected to investigate the case. In duo
time a report was received from him
saying that there was no ground for
suspicion and that the Glasgow Manu
facturing company was all right.
The Treasury Department was not
satisfied and Special Agents Ralph
Clayton and Solon Norton, on duty at
New York, were directed to go to Bos
ton and make an investigation entirely
independent of Smith and his force.
They did this and the result was^ the
seizure of thirteen cases of imported
•lace goods and the . accumulation of
evidence that. the department believes
to be sufficient to convict members of
the Glasgow Manufacturing Company
if not also some men connected with
the Government service.

CBUTSEB GOES TO KOREA.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 16.— Appropria :
tions for the foreign missions in the
United States was the subject consid
ered by the general missionary c6m
miuee of the Methodist • Episcopal"
church this morning. Perhaps the most
interesting discussion concerned a pror.
posed increase to the Pacific Japanese
Mission, which includes the work
among the Koreans in the Hawaiian
Islands. The discussion brought out
the statement that the Japanese Gov-'
ernment, fearinj? that the increased Im
migration of Japanese to those islands
might bring about exclusion laws .of.
some kind, has by indirect means'
BTeatly restricted this immigration;.
The restriction had, it was stated, led.
the planters to appeal to- Korea; for
10.000 field laborers. A large number,
of Koreans have responded, among 1
them many converts to the Methodist,
faith, and as a result a Korean church
has been started-- . The committed' toV

.VALLEJO, Nov. 16.— On the trip up
from Honolulu to the navyyard
the distiller ship Iris brought the
remains of the late Paymaster Stew
art Rhodes, U. S. N. News of his
death at the United States Naval Hos
pital at Honolulu as a result of an
operation for appendicitis was con
veyed to his mother a couple of weeks
ago through a cablegram received by
Commander F. J. Drake, at whose
home, on Mare Island, she has been a
guest for some time past.
When the Iris reached the yard the
body was taken to the hospital building
and there lay in state until yesterday
afternoon, when, at 3 o'clock. It was
taken down to the tug Unadilla. a com
pany of marines and the Mare Island
station band acting as escort. Aboard
the tug brief services, at which were
present most of the officers and ladies
of the yard, were held at 3:30 o'clock.
Chaplain A. A. McAlister officiated. At
the close of prayers "taps" was sound
ed, and immediately thereafter the
Unadilla, with her colors at half mast,
steamed slowly toward San Francisco,
where the remains were placed in a
vault at the Presidio. They will be
shipped later to Cleveland, O., where
the Interment will be made. .

fully warranted in offering: to pay $500 ia
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Lencorrhea, Femals Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair aad
reasonable trial of their means of core.

« There are thousands of sick women draKtef
out a weary, miserable existence, who would b*
well and happy did ttaev but have my experi-
ence with Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Prescription,*
writes Mrs. Annie Leamaa, of 106 Jackson St.,
Atlanta, Ga. "Four years aro I was nearly
dead with inflammation and ulceration. I en-
! durcd daily untold aronjr, and life was a burdca
to me. I had used medicines internally and
externally until I had made up my mind that
there was no relief in si?ht for me. A friend of
mine endorsed your * Favorite Prescription,' and
I determined then to give it a trial; It took
patience and perseverance for I was in a bad con-
dition, and had to use your medicine for nearly
four months before I was cored, but what a'
chanjre it brought ; from despair to happiness "i
from misery to the delightful, exhilaratfaar feet-
ing that only health brings. I would not change?
back for a thousand dollars. Your •Prescrip-
tion* is a grand medicine, I wish every dot
woman would only try it and be conTraced."
