Referring to Boutell's statement that Roosevelt would be the Repub- lican nominee, Williams said: “You have gone so far you cannot g0 back and you are going to stand pat on him.” In answer to a question by Boutell, Williams announced himself positively on the silver question. “Conditions are such that the silver question has been relegated to the rear,” he declared, amid Democratic applause.

Boutell received close attention of both sides of the chamber and when he spoke of the passing of the last trace the North and South he was loudly applauded on both sides. Boutell was humorous and grave, pathetic and poetic. Williams in his reply was likewise humorous.

The joint wage conference with the operators will begin to-morrow. The operators will make the assertion | that, while the miners are not asking for an increase in the mining scale now in. effe; the run of mine bases and the difffrential of 7 cents flat would mean a heavy increase. The. present mining contract. covering all opera- tions in four districts, will expire on April 1. President Mitchell pyactically de- clined. an increase of $2000 a year in his salary when a resolution was intro- duced to increase it from $3000 to $5000. ‘When put to a vote it seemed that fully two-thirds of the House voted aye. He declared the resolution lost, and when there was a call for a divi- sion he ignored it. With a rap of his gavel, he declared the motion lost and closed the debate. Several delegates objected, saying that they desired to go on record as favoring the raise, and they were told they could submit their | objections in writing.

C. Wiedemeier. A gapiag wound above the right temple, from which the blood was still oozing, and 38-caliber revolver lying alongside the body indicated the cause of death. Tha Coroner was notifled and the body was removed to the Morgue. The dead man was well dressed and bere every evidence of refilnement. About 380 in gold and greenbacks was found in the pockets of the clothing, also 30,000 shares of miscellaneous min- ing stock in various Colorado com- panies. The identification was estab- lished by the mining stock and several letters. A bill of sale for a tailor shop at 1533 Ninth street from John Lune- burg and a card bearing the inscrin- tion J. B. Arnold, 792 Capp street, were also found on the body. Corporal Lewis of the Sixty-fourth Company of Coast Artillery, stationed at Fort Miley, said he saw the deceased about three-quarters of an hour before the finding of the body and thought his actions were peculiar. Up to a late hour no one had appeared at the Morgue to claim the body and i* is not known whether any relatives reside in this city. A letter from Man- itou, addressed to Otto Wiede- meier, Alturas, in the same State, in reference to some stock certificates, may shed some light upon his identity.
