T., March 18. This little town is full of excitement over the development of gold mines in tho Sweet-grass hills, fifty-five miles northwest of here. People havo just arrived from tho hills, reporting that miners in Eclipse gulch are making from $50 to $S0 a day. The most of the gold is taken out in the placer diggings, but blue ore has been struck by several parties in the hills, and the country is f uU of prospectors from Helena and other mining districts. If tho present rush continues straitened times must inevitably result, a3 men from aU parts of Montana and Dakota are flocking here in great numbers without making adequate provision for subsistence Frank Stiles, of Chamberlain, South Dakota, heads a party of gold-seekers who arrived from St. Paul yesterday. TheywUl open a mine owned by Stiles m East Butte, and are prepared to locate claims. Beside the gold deposits, which are tho center of interest, the amount of silver in the rock at the hills has led to the organization of three companies the Brown, Ried fc Bell, the Detroit, and the Hazel, which are now opening mines at East Butte in tho hills. Other parties are prospecting for this ore, which exists in well-defined leads all through this region. Actual work at tho mines has, as yet, only fairly begun, but the results are very satisfactory to tho parties working claims. To Alfred Hilles, a Butte miner, is probably due tho credit of the discovery of gold in paying quantities in the hills. He as been working quietly at Middle Butte forneajrly a year, and shows about $4,000 for his labors. About a week ago, however, a general rush commenced, and now tho country is overrun with prospectors, some of whom have absolutely nothing, and supplies cannot be brought in fast enough to feed every body. It looks as if a temporary i;t'innu was inuiuucuu iuo ocl-truss hills, in which the gold has been discovered, are fifty-five miles by wagon Toad northwest of Big Sandy, ana iust south of the international boundary. The bills comprise three buttes. varving in olevation from 7JOO to 8,400 feet. Water and timber are abundant in East Butte, but timber and water are scarce in Middle Butte. Between and around the buttes are broad bottom lands with small creeks. Tho richest placer diggings are at Eclipse gulch, in Middle Butte, and the Hazel mines and gulch in East Butte. Silver, copper, iron and a fine quality of marble have been found, while coal is abundant on Milk river and Saire Rock, to the cast. If the present immigration continues, these mines will be developed in a short time, and prices of food, now at tho top notch, willgoupout of sight. Scarcclyaman at tho mines is getting less than four dollars a day, that being the wages paid, but nearly everyone is prospecting for himself. The one great obstacle here is tho distance from market. Thero are but two lines of railroad here. Dr. Barker, of Helena, and a party of Ohio capitalists, control a valuable property here, and havo decided to devolop these mines next month, taking tho products to Benton or Great Falls. Liko every one else, they aro enthusiastic on gold-finding, and nothing else can be heard around here but tho great strike in tho Sweet-grass hills and the development of tho mines there. ? Battle with an Iusane Man. Los Angeles, Cal., March 18. -Constable Harneshfeger went out to Garvansea village yesterday to arrest an old man named B. S. Sprague. for heating his little girl, fcpraguo snot Harneshfeger through the head, inflicting a mortal wound, and then opened tire on deputies McCutcheon and Jones, who accompanied tho constable. Tho deputies returned to the city and gave Tho alarm. Several parties then started out to capture Sprague. One party overtook him between South Pasadena and -Alhambra. Sprague turned on them and tired shot after shot from his revolver. The pursuers replied with several volleys. Finally, H. A . Patton, register of tho land office, succeeded in heading off the fugitive and called upon him to surrender. Spraguo replied by firing two shots at Patton, both of which missed. Patton then shot Sprague through the abdomen with a rifle, inflicting a fatal wound. Spraguo is thought to havo been insane. Cruelty on Board an Oyster I?oat. Baltimore, March 18. Tho trial of Capt. C. T. Beachamp, of tho oyster boat Z. E. Beachamp, for cruelty to oyster-boatmen, which was begun, to-day, in the United States District Court, brought out startling statements. John Kavalek, a sailor on Captain Beachamp's boat, stated that the Captain had offered to increase his pnv if ho would consent to throw two worthless hands overboard. This testimony produced a decided effect on those present. Kavalek told how tho captain beat John Stciner with a stick of wood, without provocation, and forced him to work w hen his foot was so pore that ho could not put it to tho ground. Kavalek said the fare consisted mainly of half-spoiled beans, with sometimes cabbage, meat, jotatos and cornbread. Decision In a Sewing-Machine Case. Chicago, March IS. Judge Blodgett, of the United States District Court, rendered a decision to-day in the case of the Singer Sewing-machine Company against tho Wilson Sewing-machine Company, finding that the Wilson Company had infringed the fcfcellenberger shut tie. carrier, patented in 1S$0, and perpetually enjoined the Wilson from using tho invention. A master in chancery was instruced by the court to ascertain the damages suffered by tho Singer Compan', and report. m m Important Land Suit Decided. Louisville, Ky., March 18. A suit was decided here to-day involving lands supposed to hold asphaltum deposits ami claimed to be worth $100,000. J. W. Reno, from whom the company formerlv holding tho lands took its name, charged Dr. W. L. Breyfcgle with deception and fraudulent disposition of the company's lands to R. C. Bonnie, and sued for a restoration of the lands to the company. Chancellor Edwards decided in Reno s favor and ordered the lauds restored. Stop that cough.

The Paris Bourse Shows No Signs of Panic, Despite Eecent Losses in Copper. Henry George's Land Theories Receive More Than Usual Consideration in EnglandGeneral News by the Ocean Cables. AMERICAN riLGRmS. Tliey Are Received by the Pope and Presented with Silver Medal. Rome, March 18. The Pope to-day gave audience to the American pilgrims. Tho clerical members of tho party assembled in the throne-room and tho lay pilgrims in the adjoining apartments. Bishop Rademacher, Mgr. Sexton and Very Rev. Chas. A. Vissani presented a riehly-bouud address to the Pope, who greeted each with kind word and a benediction. His Holiness gave the priests full privileges and .. power to pronounce a special papal benediction upon their congregations on their return. In blessing tho orillamme carried by the pilgrims the Pope, observing the eagle, said: "America never goes back from anything." Ho expressed the hope that America would soon have a national hospice in Palestine, liko other nations. Tho Pope presented each pilgrim a silver medal inclosed in a handsome case, and in return received many gifts from his visitors. Bishop Wigger was absent on account of illness. He will abandon tho pilgrimage and return to America. The pilgrims are much gratified by the kindness of the Pope. Tho address presented by tho pilgrims was as follows: Most Holr Father Ever since your Holiness, in spired by a happy thought, issued the brief alvaions, uireciiug uuo aucnuon oi mo xitiuuui u those places that were crimsoned with tbe precious blood of our Savior it has taken deep root in the hearts of American Catholics. Their generosity toward tho good work of preserving these holy shrines has increased, nnd an earnest desire has been awakened to worship amid those hallowed scenes. To satisfy that proud desire we have organixed this nrst pilgrimage, which we hope will be the precursor of many others. The love that rills our hearts toward our divine Savior has impelled U3 to undertake so long a Journey, that we may be privileged to visit and venerate the tomb which received the remains of his sacred humanity, and since we profess to be the devoted children of Christ's vicar on earth, we deem it our duty to come to the See of tit. Peter, of whom you are tho lawful successor to kneel at your feet and to pay you our homage, which is promoted by our love and devotion. At the same time we express our Joy for the honor of this reception, but we cannot conceal the sorrow of our hearts at the condition of the times, which Keeps tne common iatner ox tbe raltniui in a state of imprisonment We shaU not cease to raise our fervent nravers that, as an an eel sent from heaven freed St. Peter from prison, so God may decree that the vicar of Christ. 8t Peter's successor, shaU recover that liberty and those rights which are so necessary for the exercise of the spiritual power of thenanacr. to the glory of our holy mother, the church, and the welfare of the soids intrusted to your care. In tho meantime wo supplicate your Holiness to com fort us with your apostollo blessing for the suc cess oi our pugnmage. TIIE COPPER COLLAPSE. The Comptolr IVEscoir.pte Toreed lnt LiquidationPlan for Reorganization. Paris, March 18.At 3 o'clock Comptoir d'Escompte shares were quoted at 1G0 francs, Societo des Metaux shares at 47f 50c, and Rio Tintos at 202f 50c. It is expected that negotiations will be concluded this evening for an advance to tho Comptoir d'Escompte of 4O,O0O,O00f, of which sum the Bank of Franco will advance 20,000,000f without having a prior claim, as in the case of the first loan; tho Rothschilds and tho syndicate of the Chamber 3,000,000f each, and other financial houses tho balance. Tho total of 140,000,000f will be advanced on the condition of the transference of the entire paid-up capital of the Comptoir d'Escompte. Tho Bank of France will have priority to the extent of 80,000,000 francs, It is considered doubtful if the remaining 00.000.000 francs will be covered by the assets from tho liquidation ot the uoniptoir d'Escompte, but tho contributors to the advance will havo priority in the reconst notion of the bank. M. Micheu. formerly president of tho Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed liquidator of tho Comptoir d'Escompte. A commission composed of MM. Hottinguer. Sautter. Andre, fcfoubevran and Bosch had been nominated to compile tne statutes of a new Uoruptoir National d'Escompte, the presideut of which will bo either M. De Normandie, M. Hottinguer or M. Germiuy. Nothing is said about the privilege of priority in subscribing being extended to the shareholders of the original concern. London, March 18. Tho failure of the London agents of the Societo des Metaux to meet its engagements compelled tho forced sale of 150 tons of copper. The idea spread that the whole of the society's metal would bo thrown on the market immediately. Such a thing cannot happen, however, because the banks hold it as security against advances, and will only realize on it on opportune occasions. The following has been received from Pans: "Ihere is no sicnof a panic here. On tho contrary, prices are firmer, and both the jsourse and Petite liourse closed very calm, Rio Tintos being quoted 277 francs, and oociete des Metaux at u irancs.77 Small Losses in the United States. Pittsburg, March 18. A Pittsburg rep resentative of one of the heaviest copper dealers, in speaking of tho collapse of the foreign syndicate, said: "The failure allects every consumer of copper in this country just tho same way as a drop in the price of any commodity would affect a holder. In other words, if a house has 1,000 pounds of the copper which cost 10 1-2 cents, the syndicate price, and it goes back to 10 or 13 cents, he loses tho difference. Further than that, I do not believe American dealers will lose anything: in other words, riiv rernllertmn i that none of tho paper or certificates of the e liuiLiiiri ,uo urm 111 iuim coumry. jseiore the syndicate was formed eonner until nt. 11 to 11 1-2 cents, and was forced up to 10 1-2 Ami even I 1-2 cents for small lots m New York. As a result, copper goods advanced. Consumers, however, did not lieliev in tViA durability of thesyndicate.and bought only from hand to mouth. Therefore, the amount of copper in this country to-day is unusually small, and losses on tfiis account will not be sulhcient to cripple any one." HENRY GEORGE'S THEORIES. They Ar Attracting Wide-Spread Attention and Study Among Englishmen. London, March 18. The certainty that tho land theories of Henry Georgo aro at tracting wide-spread attention iu England just now and are being studied to an extent hitherto past belief, is abundantly manifested by the fact that tho gentleman is being courted, feted and consulted to a degree that would turn the head of a man of less perfect mental balance. Since his arrival hero Mr. George has been sought out by men who, a few years ago, would have felt ashamed to have incurred tho suspicion that they had even wasted sulhcient time to read his book, not to speak of giving serious consideration to his ideas, and there is a well-founded suspicion abroad that several oi vue leauing memoers ox tno new

London County Council havo a decided leanings toward tho practical application of his theories to the future disposition of municipal lands. Another unmistakeable proof of the hold which Mr. George has secured upon the popular mind is furnished by tho fact that tho Times has deemed it necessary to denounce two members of Parliament who dared to signify by their presence at a reception to Mr. George by the Radical clubs, Saturday evening, at least, their appreciation of his exceptional abilities. When Mr. George's "Progress and Poverty" was published in its tirst addition, the Times complimented the author by reviewing tho work to the extent of a page. Upon this occasion the paper remarked that although it was forced to dissent from the doctrines laid down by the writer, it was impelled to admit that the work was one of the most important of tho centurv. adding that upon some future occasion Mr. George would have to be 'reckoned with " Manifestlv tho Times

has reached the belief that the time has arrived when Mr. George should bo "reckoned with," and the suspicion is abroad that tho paper's present attitude in the matter indicates that tho Conservatives are becoming alarmed at the growth of tho single-tax apostle's popularity in England, and are preparing to counteract it by disciplining such public men as exhibit the courage of their convictions by extending the hand of welcome to men who prefer seciiik nungs as xney are to looniug ai luem through tho refracted lens of Toryism. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. .liiuiiionai uetaus i;oncemiiifr me Kerens a T J r. m a a At Rioting at Chin Kiang, China. Washington, March 18. The Secretary of Stato has received from Mr. Kennedy. United States consul-general at Shanghai, a report on tho recent riot at Chin Kiang, China. It appears that on Feb. 5 tho con sul-general received from Consul Jones, at Chin Kiang, telegraphic news of the riot, and tho threatened attack on the consul ate, and a request for protection. As there was no American mau-of-vrar immediately available. the British eonsul-irrncral was commniiieated with and a British man-of-war was started from Shanghai, on Feb. 0. for Chin Kiang. On that day the British consulate and four other houses at Chin Kiang were burned and the office of the American consul crutted and loott d bv a mob of about 0,000. Mr. Jones and family escaped injury. These facts were commnnicatedto our minister at Peking.

Its legal decease will, six months hence, again place the country face to face with itself. Then you and I will again bo ready to continue the struggle in behalf of liberty, which is denied, and of law, which is trampled upon." Grief of Rudolphs Parents. London, March IS.

Bishop Keane. president of the new Washington University, yesterday pre sented to the Pope two gentlemen of W ashington who contributed munificent sums to tho institution. It is stated that each subscribed 81,500.000. The Pope thanked them warmly for their magnificent gifts. Forming a Salt Trust. formation of a salt trust now seems to bo assured. C. F. Burger, representing the east ern manuiacturers engaged in the formation of a national salt trust, came here in January and had a conference with the manufacturers at the annual meeting of the salt association, but no conclusion was reached. Subsequently, tho president and a member of tho executive hoard of tho Michigan association visited New York. investigated the situation, and a proposition was made for the formation of a trust, the basis of which was the purchase of all plants operated independently of saw-mills, the product controlled by tho Michfc gan association and manufactured in connection with mill plants to bo turned over to tho national trust at stipulated prices. This proposition was laid before a secret meeting or Michigan manufacturers, last week, in this city, and tho members present voted to o into a trust on the basis proposed. The idea is to shut down all works whero fuel costs so much that there is only a narrow margin of Erofit, and the product of each district to e regulated by the area it can control, this being, of course, regulated by freight rates. Burger is now here, and the details of the trust, or syndicate, as it is called, as ? referable to "trust," are being, arranged, 'he entire salt-producing territory of the country will be included in the trust, which is said to have a capital of $23,000,000.

Cardinal Taschercan Comforts nis Holiness and the Latter Returns Grateful Thanks. Montreal. March 18. A letter bearing on the temporal power of the Pope was re cently forwarded to his Holiness, signed by Cardinal Taschereau, the very Rev. L. D. A. Marechale, V. G., administrator of the arch-diocese of Montreal; tho very Rev. O. IJouthir, V. G., administrator of the archdiocese of Ottawa; Mgr. Lafleche, of Three Rivers; Mgr. Rachine, of Sherbiooke; Mgr. Moreau, of St Hyacinthe; Mgr. Lorrain, of Pontine; Mgr. Gravel, of Nicolet, and Mgr. Begin, of Chicoutimi. After referring to the great joy tho signers of the letter and their flocks experienced at his Holiness s jubilee, they declare that they are "painfully aflected by the criminal efforts of those who deny the rights of the Holy See." Then the letter states: In our name, and in the name of the clergy and of the pople confided to our care, we protest ajrainst the injustices committed ly the enemies of the sovereign Pontiff. Tliey violate the law of eternal justice, they wound the risrhts of citizens, they oppress the rights of the church by the most iniquitous of persecutions, while at tho wine tirue they glorify themselves as lming the friends of liberty. They grant unrestrained liberty to all errors and to the worst societies, but they ojpose with great fury the Catholic doctrine, relifrious bodies and the Holy fcee. Anyone may say and publish with impunity all that he pleases against the rights of the holy Koiaan Church and its beloved pastor, but very lieavy penalties aro imposed not only on Catholic laymen and clergymen, but even on the successor of the prince of apostles every time lie undertakes to defend or to Bimnly make known the undeniable and divine rights of the church. Wc adhere with all our heart to the declarations and protests relative to the temporal domain of the Iloly tee which you, our holy father, the sacred college and the faithful of the whole world have so often made. They assure his Holiness that incessant prayers will bo ofiered up for his protection and conclude by asking the apostolic benediction for the clergr and faithful of both provinces. The following is th rcSly from the holy father. Pope Eeo XIII adressed to his Eminence, Cardinal E. H. Taschereau, Quebec: Dear Son The apostolic absolution and blessing he on you. Wo have received a letter filled with allection and repect for us. as well as with zeal and pastoral solicitude, which, in concert with tho other prelates of the provinces of Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa, you have addressed to us. It is extremely proier, in virtue of the sanctity and the grandeur of your office, to vindicate the liberty and the rights of the apostolic chair and to demand an account for the malice of those men who only seek to lessen the. dignity of the sovereign Pontiff to cover tho Catholic religion with scorn, and to turn away its hervants from their duty by the fear of penalties. Your letter has caused us the more pleasure, becauso it displays an admirable unity of sentimentand even of language and expression with those which wo have received on the same subject from the bishops of several other countries. This unanimous agreement affords us no licht consolation. It shows us that divine power which unites into one body all the parts of tho Hock or our land, nothing being more secure and calculated to conquer the audacity and baflio the designs of the enemies of the church, who desire above all tilings to create dissension among tho faithful.

Dr. John Vanbibber, who attended Mary Anderson during her stay in Baltimore, last week, emphatic ally denies the report that her mind is affected. "I am always very averse," said he, "to say anything about the symptoms of my patients, as such matters are confidential: but in tho face of these absurd reports about Miss Anderson, I am glad to enter an emphatic denial. Miss Anderson is in an abnormal nervous condition from overwork and insomnia, and is suffering from a nervous trouble that has given her great pain. She is not auiroring from any mental ailment whatever, nor has sho shown any symptoms of such trouble. She is weak and nervous, and unablo to 6tand the severe strain of her part in tho play she is in this season, and it is better that she should take an extended rest.', Fiiiladelphia, March 18. Miss Mary Anderson is reported to-night to be steadily improving. Her brother says that tho reports as to her mental condition are altogether wrong, and that at no tirao"has his sister's mind been affected by her illness.

Her father died when she was very young, and her mother shortly after married Dr. Hamilton Griffin, who has sinco been known as the manager for his talented step-daughter. When Mary was an infant the family left California and settled in Louisville, where she developed a strong passion for the stage. She made her first appearance in November, 1875, after only two jears of study. The critics went into raptures over tho wonderful taleut she diplayed. and her tour was a continued series of triumphs. Sho made her bow to the New York public in 1877, and althought many of the critics found fault with her mannerisms and deiicient stage education all had toadmit that she was born an actress. From that time on she had greater triumphs ou the stage than any other living actress. Endowed with great beauty, having a clear, musical voice and intensely dramatic mind, sho leaped to the very first ranks of histrionic success without having to climb the difficult ladder which stands in pearly every debutante's way. At length she determined to test her ability by appearing before an En?lish audience. Many predicted failure, jut Mary was as great a success thero as in her native land. In Galatea, Ingomar, and other parts, she took London by storm. Miss Anderson has amassed wealth, is the heaviest tax-payer in Long Branch, N. J., owns property in New York, stock in several railroads, and is the possessor of a $100,000 yacht. Thowholoof her fortune was made by herself, and has been well and carefully managed. Sho made herself famous in England by refusing to meet the Prince of Wales unless he was accompanied by his wife, and 6till later by returning to a titled admirer a diamond necklace, saying that she could not consent to receivo any presents of great value. , She lived free from scandal, doing her work as a good, honest Christian. Mary has always been a devout Catholic, aud spent large sums of money among the poor of the cities sho visited. Ex-Governor lllair Serlouly IU. Jacksov, Mich., March 18.
