A MAGNIFICENT
RESPONSE MADE
All Parts of the State Will Be Repre-
sented in Butte at the Reception
OF the Volunteers.

The press of the state is responding
magnificently to the appeal made by
Chairman Mantle at the press banquet
to aid in the welcome to the volun-
teers. Captain w. A. More of the Hell
ena light artillery called on Chairman
Mantle yesterday to say that he would
be over with 40 men in uniform and two
cannon to take part in the reception
and parade. All they ask is that the
railroad company will haul their guns
over for them. This the company will
no doubt do. They will fire the salutes
for the occasion.
The committee on red fire are re-
quested to get together for the purpose
of making prepare tons to have a plen-
tiful supply of the materials for that
very necessary article.
The following is from the mayor of
Bozeman:
"Bozeman, Mont, Sept. 10. 1899 Mr..
George w. Irwin, Secretary Reception
Committee Montana Volunteers. Butte,
Mont. Dear Sir.-In answer to your
communication received a few days
ago l think it likely that Bozeman peo-
pie will charter a special train and go
to Butte in quite a body to assist in
welcoming the volunteers. At least
that is the talk among a number ut
present. We would expect to bring the
Gallatin county boys home with us and
give them reception mere.
Very truly yours,
w. M. AWARD"
L. J. Browning wrote to Chairman
Mantle intimating that there was a
feeling that the engineers had been
overlooked in the preparations to well
come the volunteers and the chairman
has written him as follows:
Mr.. l.. ]. Browning, Sand Creek,
Mont: My Dear Sir.-Your favor of the
= NJ, Ir,r tv,n h a c
been turned over to me for reply. In
answer I beg to say that 1t would graft
fly the committee of arrangements and
l may add, all concerned, If the Mon
tana members of Company K, 3rd bat
tallion, second regular United States
volunteer engineers could be present
upon the occasion of the reception to
the Montana volunteer infantry. We
should very much like to have them
here in body to participate in the pa
rade.
TT has been an oversight that you
have not been invited before this, and
not from any intentioal neglect. The
volunteer engineers are entitled to all
the praise and all the honor that be-
longs to the volunteer infantry, or the
volunteer cavalry. They have exhibit
ed the same loyalty and disinterested
patriotism that has characterized all
the brave men who volunteered at their
country's call.
Il sincerely hope that you will COM
municate with the members of the
company individually and convey to
them the invitation to be present, or
If you can furnish me with their ad-
dresses, / shall take pleasure in writ
ing to each one of them personally.
For my own part, should be great
ly pleased to ses every Montana volun-
teer present when the boys come home
from Manila, making it sort of re-
union of all who have participated act
lively or otherwise in the war.
Thanking you for your letter, and
again extending to you and your fell
low members of Company K. most
earnest and cordial invitation to be
present, ] am yours sincerely,
LEE MANTLE, Chairman"

Wool Auction Sales.

London, Sept. 2o.-The offerings at the
wool auction sales to-day numbered l5,O67
bales, including a good selection of
Queensland and new crop. The latter
was in better condition than the 1898 crop
and the home trade and the contineEt
were eager bidders for this grade. Scour-
ed merinos were well represented and
sold principally to Yorkshire at hardening
rates The continent operated reservedly
and is evidently waiting for the opening
of the Australian sales next week. Swan
River sold readily to the home trade.
Lambs were in exceptionally strong de-
mand and merinos sold at Is per cent. adj
vance. Crossbreds were in steady re-
quest at prices ranging from 10ni5 per
cent. higher, Yorkshire taking the bulk
Fine greasy crossbreds were quickly dis
posed of. Medium low crosSbreds were
largely represented and brought out
keen competition, with the home trade
the best buyer at decidedly harder rates.
A good selection of washed cross stripes
was taken by the home trade at an adj
vance of 10 per cent.

Beers Are Prepared.

London, Sept. 20--Great Britains re-
lations with the Transvaal remain I'M
changed. and as far as the former is
concerned the situation is not likely to
take on new phase until after Fri
days cabinet council. Whether the
Beers will be content to wait that long
without ending the suspense with hos
tilities, depends upon circumstances.
The Morning Post contained dis
patch from Pietermaritzburg, Natal,
dated Sept. 10, saying:
Il have never known the situation to
be graver. The Beers only await two
days rain on the veldt before beginning
hostilities. They are determined on
war and consider they can expect
nothing else after the last dispatch,
and are prepared to face the conse-
quences."
The correspondent then describes in
detail the Beers elaborate border prep
arations, which appear more thorough
and formidable than heretofore believed.
He says the Orange Free State officers
at Pretoria have devised combined
plan of action which, he adds, includes
Selling Majuba, Laings Neck and New
Castle, Natal, the moment the ulti-
matum arrives.
The secretary of state for the colo
MES, Joseph Chamberlain, spent the
day at the colonial office. He looked
completely worn out by anxiety.
dispatch from Pretoria says that
at a meeting of Belgians there, corps
was enthusiastically formed to help the
Beers in case of war.
Secretary of State Reitz is quoted
saying that in case of war the aliens
could remain in the Transvaal provided
they guaranteed their good behavior.
The presence of the Orange Free
State officers at Pretoria is confirmed.
Numerous field comets are at the Boer
capita1

Last night Officer Laughrin gathered

and addresses as Dennie Lewis (col-
ored), $50 South Main; George Bath, SO

Chief Lavell dropped into the station
just as the jailer was leading the boys
out of the office toward the women's
department.
What have you boys been doing?"
he asked
"Nothin'; just settin' down in front Of
Medins, sayin' nothin to nobody, or
doin' nothin' tall" replied the spokes-
man.

One New Case of Yellow Fever.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Aug. S.-One
new case of yellow fever developed at the
National Soldiers home yesterday. There
were no deaths. This is the official re-
port. The case found yesterday is the
first reported since last Thursday night.
There is now no doubt that the backbone
of the yellow fever epidemic is broken,
and in two weeks it is probable that the
scourge will be a thing of the past. The
quarantine, however, will be raised be-
fore that time, as the situation is imprOv-
ing so rapidly that it will be unnecessary
to block business and traffic after the
next few days. A house to house canvass
of Phoebus by Surgeon White and his
assistants developed no new cases or any
under suspicion.
