UTTE. Mont.,- Oct. 21.—There was a lull in the Amaiga- mated-Helnze war to-day, both factions apparently lying on their arms awaiting the. next move of the opposition.

Con- gressman Dixon may become a member, advices from him on the subject not yet having been received. , The members of this mediation’ committee will meet in about four days. President William Scal- F. Augustus Heinze have signified their w.lingness to meet with the committee and discuss the settlement of the issues. As a result of the decision of Scallon to reject all the terms offered by Heinze many of the idle miners are leaving the city for Wyoming and British Columbia. { Scallon’s announcement is interpreted to mean that the shut-down is of long dura- tion and that no rellef is in sight. MEDIATION MAY BE FUTILE. Little, it is believed, can result from the efforts of the mediation committee. Mil- lions of dollars are involved in the issues between Heinze and the Amalgamated Copper Company, and the . sityation is | such that the courts of last resort must | settle the conflict. President Scallon this afternoon issued | another lengthy statement to the: pubiic. | @-isiri-isitls i He severely criticises ‘the course of Heinze and John MacGinniss and declares an attempt is being made to despoil the Amalgamated Copper Company of its in- terests. He says: . “The question involved in the suit of { MacGinniss against the Boston and Mon- tana Company does not relate to the Bos- ton and Montana Company “alone; ‘it is broader. It is whether the Amalgamated Company has any right to hold any stock in these corporations, whether it has any right of property in the stock and wheth- er that stock or its proceeds is to go to the stockholders—to the rightful owners— or, indirectly but effectively by its confis. cation and destruction, to becbme the property of people who have no.interest This committee is composed of | | United States Benators W.

Will Pay Miners’ Union $250,000 if It Arrange for ‘Arbitration. BOSTON, Oct. 2.—Thomas W. Lawson sent a dispatch to-night to Edward Long, president of the Miners’ Unlon in Butte, offering to pay the union $250,000 as a commission for arranging an arbitration with Helnze to settle the price to be paid him by the Amalgamafed Copper Com- pany for all property in Butte with which GHINS TINE WITH PEACE DVERTURES Russia’s Sincerity Is Doubted in Japan. Reported Compromise Does Not Stay War Movements. Mikado Gives Up Hope of Averting Clash With the Czar. PRSP Special Dispatch to The Call. TOKIO, Oct. 27.—Pacific officlal assur- ances with regard to the Russo-Japanese situation should be accepted as purely diplomatic. No compromise has yet been reached. Nothing has occurred to dimin- ish the prospect for an early conflict. Marquis Ito's attempt to find a peaceful way out of theembroglio has utterly failed. A majority of his colleagues have decided that the plan suggested would merely give the time she so urgently needs to augment her military and naval strength in the region of prospective hos- tilities. From an unimpeachable source con- nected with the imperial household it is learned that the Emperor, in whose hands rests the final decision for peace or war, considers the acts of Russia as so flag- rantly hostile as to deprive the situation of almost every hope of peace. Russia is daily speaking soothing words to Japan, but her course, both In FEurope and in Asia, glaringly reveals the hollowness of her statements. Floods in the north of Manchuria have temporarily interrupted travel by rail- road and wagon road and the flow of Russian troops and -munitions of war southward has been arrested. This cir- cumstance has served to show how large and constant is that stream, for the Rus- sians are mow taxed to the utmost to pro- vide for the wants of thelr soldiers. Japanese agents in Manchuria have re- ported fully what is going on and the re- sult is that Tokio is disturbed by gloomy forebodings. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 2. — Mysterious movements of Russians in Korea contin- ue to be reported. A detachment of 200 Russian troops in sald to have crossed the river Tumf into Korea and another con- tingent of forty Russians appeared at Wiju on Friday last and subsequently re- tired. Following the announcement made here vesterday that the Korean Government had protested against the Russian fortifi- cation of Yongampho, on the Yalu River, offictal advices recelved at Tokio tend to confirm the report that the Russians have fortified that place. This may lead to im- portant developments, as the fortifications of Yongampho would be an infringement on Korean integrity BERLIN, Oct. According to the Hamburg Nachrichten, the steamer Bata- via, the largest freighter of the Ham- burg-American line, will go to England, where she will load 10,000 tons of coal and proceed to East Asia. The coal is for the use of the Russian Government. SR SRR A AT REVOLUTIONARY INVADERS TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY Government Forces Are Still in Pur- suit of the Insurgents Who Ap- peared on the Isthmus. PANAMA, Oct. 27.—No news was re- ceived to-day from the Government forces in pursuit of the insurgents who have ap- peared on the isthmus and who are now sald to have come from Nicaragua. Gov- ernor Obaldia has recelved a telegraphic message from Bogota giving orders that the Nicaraguan invaders be punished se- verely. Cablegrams received here from Managua, Nicaragua, says that in official circles there it is indignantly denied that President Zelaya in any way participated in the revolutionary invasion of the isth. mus and that nothing was known of this invasion in Nicaragua. L e e e e o] ) he is connected. Lawson's dispatch says in part: y “Mr. Heinze has repeatedly told me in negotiations that with undisputed owner- ship to the Nipper he could tie up all of the principal mines in Butte for a gener- ation. Mr. Heinze will tell you our nego- tiations have always been unsuccessful, solely because we could not agree on the price to be paid him by the Amalgamated Copper Company. He demands $7,000,000 for all property with which he is connect- ed In Butte, and I have offered him $3,- 000,000 for the same. It is belleved he will take $5,000,000. Therefore, why is it not the fairest and quickest way to leave the affair to arbitration of the difference be- tween the offering and the asking price, $3,000,000 and $7,000,0007 g “I have very large interests in Amal- gamated stock and the Butte camp and it the present disastrous and unreasonable condition continues I will probably, like your members, be ruined. Therefore, I am willing personally to pay your asso- clation a commission of $250,000 for at once and satisfactorily arranging arbitration as above.” Lawson expresses Russia the belief that, through arbitration, the troubles could be | in New York, were actually present at the adjusted to the satisfaction of every one. | scene of the accident. § * o SACRIFICES HORSES AND TRAPS TO AID ACCUSED HUSBAND| Mrs. Blair Disposing of Her Famous Stables.
