Butte, Mont., Feb. 14—Arthur C. Cardon, representing Thomas F. Cole of Dulath, has taken posseggion of all mines and mining property of F. Au- gustus Heinze and the United Copper company in Silver Bow county which have been in controversy or litigation with the Amalgamated Copper com- pany. This means that peace has come' to the warring copper mining interests of Butte. The announcement that a sale of the Heinze property had been made came in a telegram from John D. Ryan, managing director for the Amalga- mated Copper company, who is now in New York. Mr. Ryan, with his attor- neys, left Butte for New York early last November on the business deal which was consummated during the day. He was closely followed by Mr. Heinze. Since then many reports had heen received that a deal was pend- ing, but no official announcement of the fact was made until the deal was concluded.

London, Feb. 14.—James Willlam Lowther was unanimously re-elected speaker of the house of commons dur- ing the day. In accordance with prece- dent there was no opposition. The house afterwards adjourned without transacting any other business. The swearing in of members will occupy the rest of the week. The new house of commons meets under conditions of unusual interest and evidence of this was seen in the wild rush for seats at midnight, when the spectacle at the centrance of the houses of parliament at Westminster resembled the entry to a pit on the first night of a play by a poptlar author. Nearly 300 of the members are entirely new to ‘parliamentary life as a result of the upheaval caused by the general election and the house of commons police had a difficult task in differentiating between members and Jutsiders who attempted to take ad- vantage of the occasion to view the proceedingsf The formal opening of parliament will take place Feb. 19, when the king's speech will be delivered.

L 1BODY LIES IN STATE. ¥ i Danés Given Final Opportunity to § View Dead Monarch. Copenhagen, Feb. 14—The coffin contdining the body of King Christian was removed at 6 a. m. from the pal- ace to the Christianborg church, where it will lie in state until Feb. 15. The crown prince and other members of the royal fainily, the court officials and army and navy officers followed the hearse on foot through the crowd-lined streets. After a brief service at the church the royal party returned to the palace, leaving the body in charge of a guard of army and navy officers, who will remain day and night stationed at the head and foot of the catafalque. The public will be admitted to the church at stated hours daily. Hours before the church was opened the vicinity was densely thronged with those desirous of .paying their last respects to the body of the old monarch.

Algeciras, Spain, Feb. 14—The re- ports circulating in European capitals that a crisis has been reached at Alge- ciras. ai;g not warranted by-the actuals “conditions here. The negotiations on the police and finance questions are - proceeding uninterruptedly, but have reached a bedrock point, on which neither the French nor the.German delegates show any disposition to yield. This firmness on both sides has caused some apprehension of an even- tual deadlock, but::ithe delegates; so long as the negotiations continue, will not admit that a_crisis has been reached. % Y % Inquiry among: the: American and other delegates showed that they are confident of a successful result. The delegates deprecate the alleged “attempts of the German press to per- suade the public that if the conference fails it will be the fault of France and Great Britain. NO HOPE OF AGREEMENT. Germany. Blames France for Failure of: Conference. Berlin, Feb. 14—Some exchanges of‘l suggestions between ' this and other governments regarding the ‘Algeciras negotiations are proceeding, although there is really no expectation of an agreement. Both France and Germany. have taken seemingly unyielding posi- tions, France for a general mandate in Moroccan affairs and Germany for a combined administration by all the in- terested powers. The view of .the German foreign office is that if France intended to insist on a paramount posi tion in Morocco why did she take ‘part in the conference? If Germany should now agree to give over Morocco to France the efforts of years would be _fruitless and a long period of unrest in Kuropean affairs, it is believed, weould hegin, the issue of which no one ven- tures to-predict. It is likened in offi- cial quarters, however, to the period from 1866 to 1868, when the economic life of the principal Continental coun-: tries was disturbed continuously by fears and rumors of war.

" __Washington, Feb. 14¢—The senate commiittee on naval affairs-has report ed favorably the bill introduced by Senator Perkins to prevent hazing at the naval academy. The bill. amends acts heretofore passed and was rec ommended by the secretary of the navy. It permits the secretary i his discretion to .dismiss midshipmen and regulates trials for hazing, defines haz ing and provides that it sha)l be the duty of all officers at the academy tc report to the superintendent all facts meeting with Mr. Mitchell and ‘his agsociates, but their position, elicited by careful canvass, is, as one president put it, such that “the miners will have to strike or back down.” ‘“We do.not propose,” he said, “to accede to their demands in any way and do not see what else they can do but strike. They are coming into this conference to demand an eight-hour day and recognition of the union, he- sides other things. It was clearly shown in the report of the anthracite strike commission in 1902 “that the miners do not work eight hours a day and the claim is only a disguised de- mand for higher rate of wages per hour. The anthracite commission akso decided that it was the right ¢f the’ operators to employ either union or nonunion miners without discrimina- tion. These are the two main points of the demand the miners’ committee will make and both have been already ‘decided by an eminent comniission and have been adhered to rigorously.” TWELVE HUNDRED OUT. Miners Claim Operators Have Violated Agreement. Scranton, Pa., Feb. 14—The miners and laborers at the two collieries of the ' Jermyn Coal company al Rend- ham. near here, went on strike during the day.
