Democratic Leaders Say It lias Been
a Gn at Success.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-A special to
the WoilJ from Concord, N. H., says:
At a formal conference held in Port
land between Wm. J. Bryan and h:s
prominent supporters, it was decided
that his Eastern trip had proved a
great success and it was resolved that
the trip should be considered as open
in? the frreat campaign of 1900.
Amour those who helped to arrive
at this conclusion were Mr. Bryan,
ex-Governor Altgeld, Congressman
Lentz, cf Ohio: Colonel Drlnkwater
and Colonel Charles I). Lewis, of
Massachusetts; T. L. Morris, member
of tne national committee from New
Hampshire; Henry McClellan, a
prominent democrat of Belfast, Me.;
Frederick W. Plalsted, of Augusta, son
of ex-Governor Plalsted, and members
of the state committee of Maine,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The campaigning will be renewed
immediately In the Western and
Northwestern states. As soon as Mr.
Bryan ends his present Eastern trip
ir. New Jersey next week he will start
for Texas and rejoin his wife and
children. He will rest for a few
weeks and will be ready for the na
tional battle.
Mr. Altgeld, in carrying out the
plans agreed upon, left Mr. Bryan's
party and will proceed to Chicago.
If there Is no change in the program
he will open the fight in the Northwest
wlthm ten days.
Mr. Bryan and ex-Governor Altgeld
in their consultation with the East
ern members of the national commit
tee found out that the Eastern men
were in favor of holding, an early
convention. The earlier the better was
the sentiment brought out at Boston
and Portland.
M'GOVERN ON THE BATTLE.
CHICAGO. Feb. 2. -Terry McGovern,
who last night at Tattersalls won the
clear title to the featherweight cham
pionship of the world by knocking out
Eddie Santry in the fifth round of a
six-round bout, said In an interview:
"Santry gave rne a better fight for
two rounds than Dixon did and I must
ive hint all the credit In the world
for his showing. Dixon worried me
longer and, I think, was able to stand
the pace better. I niuat say that San
try had me a trifle worried in the sec
ond round. Alter that I got the range
ar.d it was only a matter of time."
Eddie t-'antry eaid:
"I thoueht I was fighting at my best
when I was knocked out. The awful
pace McGovern sets is killing to any
man and I honestly think this little
fellow ran whip most of those clever
lightweights we h-ar so much about.
He is the greatest little fighter the
world hah ever known. I am simply
u:iluky to be in the Fame class with
him."
George Hilar, the referee, said:
"I counted Santry out. When I
reached the count of ten, I said "ten,
and out. Eddie; you lose.' He was then
on his hands and knew and did not
have a chance to get up. My move
in g"tling between tne men and wav
ing McGovern off appears to have been
take n as In Heating that I stopped the
fight. That Is not the case and those
who bet thtt Pantry would be knocked
oMt, win. It was as fast a fight as I
ever saw."

DALLAS, Or.. Feb. S William G.
Matters, who murdered Andrew Ray
mond Sink, a wealthy Sherman county
rancher, near Salem, on the Polk coun
ty side of the Willamette river, on Sep
tember IS, 1S9S, was hanged at 10:1S
this morning. He dli-played good
nerve while on the gallows, and be
yond a slight quivering of the chin,
displayed no noticeable agitation.
Mat;ers spent the night In
writing letters, and retired shortly
after midnight. He slept well until
4 SO this morning, when he got up and
resumed his writing. He partook
heartily of the breakfast brought 'ilm
at 7 o'clock. A brother and brother-in-law
of tK condemned man were ad
mitted to the Jail at an early hour, and
talked with him for a few minute. At
10 o'clock Sheriff Van Orsdel went Into
his cell and read the dath warrant.
After the sheriff had llnished read
ii-.g, Magers seemed tilled with nige,
and in a moment of (rvnsy proceeded
to demolish eviry loose Article of fur
niture in his .roll, threatening to kill
any one who molested him. Ho oon
Slew calmer, anil when the ollloers
wont Into his cell to lead him out he
offered no resistance.
At 10:14 he was lead upon the scaf
fold. Sheriff Van Orsdel and Eider
! Barton Riggs. of the Christian church,
leading the way. He was imported by
Deputy Sheriff J. T. Ford and W. E.
Williams, of Alrlie. The death watch
brought up the rear. He walked up
on the scaffold without aid and stood
calmly looking down upon the crowd
below. He was neatly attired In a
black suit, white collar and w hite tie.
Prayer was offered by Elder Hlggs, af
ter which Magers was asked if he had
anything to say. He replied In a voice
shaken with emotion:
"Gentlemen, you are looking upon
an Innocent man. I pray that those
who testified against me will be for
given and that I will meet them in
heaven. I forgive those who have done
me wrong."
When h4 ceased speaking the sheriff
pinioned his arms and legs and quick
ly stepping to the lever, sprung the
trap. The body shot downward and in
12 minutes life was pronounced ex
tinct by the physicians. Dr. R, E. L.
Steiner, of Dallas, and Dr. O. D. But
ler, of Independence.
Some 200 special Invitations to the
hanging had been isued, and most of
them were accepted. The inclosure
about the scaffold was crowded to
overflowing long before the fatal hour.
A flutter of excitement thrilled the
pectators when the twelve Jurymen
who found Magers guilty filed In and
took up their stand within the railing.
Newspaper correspondents were well
represented, and the following sheriffs
were represented: Holden, of Sher
man county; Blakely, of Umatilla;
Dearing, of Union; Alderman, of Tilla
mook; Munken, of Linn; Durbln, of
Marlon, and Henderson, of Yamhill.
W. H. Magers murdered his friend

A BIO AFFAIR.
Important Coiisolldatlon of Copper In
terests. NEW YOltK, Feb. 2,-Tho United
Metals Selling Company, which was
Incorporated a few days ago under
New Jersey laws with a capital of
15.000.000. is a highly Important organ
ization. It is learned that the com
pany will absorb the firm of Lewlsohn
Bros., of this city and thtt It will
handle the entire output of the Amal
gamated Copper Company as well as
the other large business now conduct
ed bj Lewlsohn Bros.
A member of the firm of Lewlsohn
Bros., cor.flrmed the report thnt that
Arm would be absorbed by the new
company. The new concern will In
effect be an expansion of the business
ot the firm with the difference that
other capitalists in the Amalgamated
Copper Company will also be Inter
ested. The new company, it Is stated,
would not aciulre any other Interests
in this city than the firm of Lewlsohn
Bros. The I5.0O0.0o0 capital is all In
common stock.
The directors of the company nre:
William Rockefeller, Henry H. Rog
ers, Leonard Lew Isol n, Adolph Lewls
ohn and Charles C. Beatnan. .
Of these gentlemen, the first two
nimed are known to be heavily Inter
ested in the Amalgamated Copper Co.
Leonard Lewlsohn and Adolph Lewls
ohn are of the Arm ot Lewlsohn Bros.,
and Mr. Beaman Is a member of the
law firm of Everts, Choete A Beaman.
Officers will be elected In a few days.
Messrs. Lewlsohn Bros., aside from
their large business in this and other
metals, are the largest handlers of
coppfr In the country. Among the
mines whose output is sold through
them and which will now, It Is under
stood, be sold through the United
Metals Selling Company, are the fol
lowing: Lake Superior mines The Tamarack,
Isle Royal, Arcadian and O.iceola, and
the Kearsarge.
Montana mines The Amalgamated
Copper Company (Including the Ana
conda, Washoe, Parrott anil Colorado
Smelting and probably others); the
Boston & Montana and the Buttte &
Boston.
Arizona mines United Verde (owned
principally by Senator W. A. Clark),
the Old Dominion and the Arizona
Copper Company.
Utah The Utah Consolidated, other
wise known as the "Highland Boy."
The amount of copper sold through
the firm named at the pit-sent time is
said to be nearly seventy per cent of
the entire output of this country, or
over 300,000,000 pounds annually.
Among the mlnej for which Lewls
ohn Bros., have not been the selling
agents and which, It is believed, will
not sell through the new company,
are the following:
The Calumet and Hecla, which, next
to the Anaconda, Is the largest produc
er of copper In the woild. The Inter
ests Identified with the Amalgamated
Copper Company are said to have
made a formal offer of $100,00,000 for
this mine, but it was refused.

Iowa, writes:
"My wife and I hava used two bottles of Paints Celery Com

rheumatism ar d proved a good regulator of the system in general
and a tonic for the nerves. In my own cose I have found it a cure for

this trouble it has given me almost instant relief."
The human system in old age must have a largo

mining properties are those controlled
by the Helnzes, especially the Monta
na Ore Purchasing Company, which Is
engaged In extensive litigation with
several mining companies In which the
owners of the Amalgamated Copper
Company are Interested,
In Arinona are the so-called Phelps
Dodge mines, Including the Copper
Queen. These are also summed to be
wholly Independent of tho new com
pany as well as of the Amalgamated
Copper Company. Ever since organ
ization of the Amalgamated Copper
Company, It has been reported that
the leading Interests In thnt fTK.OOO,
040 corporation had a far wldtT amal
gamation in view and the organiza
tion of the new Helling company Is
recognized by many as strong con
firmation of such reports. It Is wide
ly believed that the controlling Inter
eHtu in the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany now own large amounts of
stock In the Boston & Montana: the
liulte & Boston, and the Utah consol
idated and that these properties may
eventually be merged with the Amnt
gamated with a further large liicreusp
In the capitalization of the latter.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-A report has
been received in this city to the effect
that Marcus Daly had resigned the
presidency of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company, that he had been suc
ceeded by O. M. Hyams, general man
ager of the Boston & Montana, and
that a settlement at an early date of
the extensive litigation now going on
among tho copper companies of Mon
tana was likely. Mr. Daly was inter
viewed in this city upon the subject.
He said:
"I don't know where this rumor or
iginated. I am certain nothing is
known about it at the ofllces of the
American company or of the Amalga
mated company. It Is not true. Tho
Amalgamated company Is tunning
along satisfactorily. It is paying divi
dends. The stock Is nil right. It hns
suffered perhaps like all other securi
ties, but It will be bettor."
Questioned regurdlng W. A. Clark,
he said:
"V011 have read In the papers about
the fight between the multi-millionaires
Daly and Clark, but It Is most
ly nonsense. If Mr. Clark's fortune
and my fortune were rolled Into one,
I doubt If It would come to anything
near the figures often mentioned. The
fight against Mr. Clark in Montana is
-ifv.tv
SV v
being made by the young men. I have
nothing to do with It."
Mr. Daly was asked about his pros
peels for racing next season. He re
plied: "I don't know yet what I shall do.
I have a number of horses, but the
experiences of the last year or two
have not tended to make me an en
