Conditions on Mi Side.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The English pa
pers have been printing ridiculous dis
patches daily regarding the -interna-
tional yacht race. The Daily Mail,
which a short time ago seriously an
nounced that a number Of Americans
had gone mad because they could not
discover the Shamrock's lines, today
pictures the whole of New York in a
similar condition, saying the Americans
are the most emotional people in the
world, and that in addition to the yacht
race, Admiral Dewey's coming has
made the people 'srenzied with excite
ment."
The English people take all this liter
ally and many unpleasant comments
over Americans lack Of self-control are
heard.

CABINET COUNCIL Is CALLED.

Believed British Plan win Now Be to
Delay Opening of Hostilities in Order to
Give Transports Be6ring Troops Time
to Reach South Africa.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Summonses were
issued late last evening for q cabinet
council, which it is believed will be held
Friday. This is regarded as the result
Of the visit of the premier, Lord Sails
bury, to London, whittier he came yes
terday, remaining at the foreign Office
from $3.50 to $50 p. IN. MI. Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies,
was present in the building at the
same time and as a private doorway

joint deliberations.
The lack of all excitement in official
circles bears evidence to the deliberate
manner in which the highest officials
are handling the crisis. There is not
by any means certainty that the cabi-
net council will adopt extreme meas
ures II spite Of the uncompromising ma
ture Of the Boer reply. This delibera-
ton on the part of the government is
interpreted not only in London, but in
other capitals as a desire on the part of
Great Britain to gain time. while the
transports r hurrying to Cape Colony.
The Berliner Nachtrichen comment
ing on this today, says: sThe special
call is only meant to deceive the Beers.
When England feels equal to the task
of facing the Beers this peaceful tone
will give way to a blatant cry for war. T"

TRANSPORT TARTAR SAILS.

Port officer OF Hong Kong Takes a Hint
from British Foreign ONCE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. B.-Clearance
papers have been allowed the Tartar at
Hong Kong. 1t is expected that it will
proceed to the United States at once.
The information that the clearance had
been allowed came in a dispatch to Adj
jutant General Corbin from Colonel
Metcalf, commanding the Twentieth
Kansas and the troops aboard the trans
port.
1t is supposed that clearance papers
were allowed upon the suggestion Of
the British foreign office to the British
governor at Hong Kong that it would
be unwise to interfere with American
transports.
Another dispatch from Colonel Met
calf states that the Tartar was no more
overcrowded and that the food was as
good as OH other transports leaving
Manila. He said the trouble arose
among the discharged regular soldiers
who were returning home on board the
ship.
Hone KONG, Sept. 15.-The transport
Tartar sailed today with it's full compile
ment of troops, clearance having been
allowed by The British governor.

Besset,e Smashed Langebin.

Missoula, Dec. 14-Gregorie Bessdte,
the well known transfer driver, is
homeless, and all because he smashed
the face Of John Langebin, French
man, with one of his sledge hammer
fists: The men had a sauarrsl in front
Of the Florence hotel Wednesday night
about o'clock, which resulted in
Langebin's receiving an awful blow in
the face. The men parted and went
to their homes, Langebln being accom-
panied by William Courteous. The
men, after arriving at their home, on
the island took several drinks together.
and in talking the matter over, decided
to do up Bessette. 1t was u o'clock
at night that they decided to do the
act, and went to Bessette's cabin,
which is also on the island. They
broke the windows, the SASH broke
all the dishes in the house, the bed
stead, chairs, turned over the cook
stove and broke open, the. door, and
taking hold Of Bessette. they turned
him out. The men were arrested and
were tried this afternoon before Judge

vale, Quisley.

Missoula, Dec 1s.-The old Quigley
plant will soon be moved out of the
state and the town that sprang into
existence in q few hours will be no
more. Several of the workmen who
have been at work taking down the
shipment are In the city for a few days
and will remain here awaiting orders
from Fraser s. Chalmers of Chicago,
who are the owners, and who are dt-
recting the movements OF the men. The
large air conpressors which were
placed at the mine, seven miles from
the town, are all ready for shipment.
the air compressors are also packed
and waiting for shipment. The heavy
ore crushers, built at the ore bins at
the foot of the mountain near the mine,
will not be shipped out of the state,
but it is understood will be sold to min
ing companies in the state. This means
that whoever purchases them will be
able to save the freight, thereby saw
ing a large sum of money. The track
which was laid almost to the mine is
entirely taken up with the exception Of
a mile or two. The heavy wire that
was to have been. used for the trans
mission of power to the electric ore
cars is ali taken down and will be ship
ped to the East as soon as hauled to
the station at Bonita. At the mill near
the town will be found some of the
finest machinery that has ever been
shipped to the West. The large water
wheels that were to furnish power for
the dynamos and the standing pipes in
the end of the mill have all been taken
down and will be packed and shipped
as soon as word Is received from the
owners at Chicago. A large amount of
the machinery will no doubt find its
way to different parts of the West.

NEGLECT \ / Of A MOTHER
Her Daughters Appeal to the
County for Help.
CANNOT REMAIN AT HOME
It Was Alleged That Mrs. Hesley Put
/ the Little Ones Out OF the House
One Night-The Older Child
Will Hustle for Herself,

There are more bad men than wo-
men, and men are worse than women
as a class; in other words, the stand
ard Of morality is lower among men
than women, who are the conservators
of morality, and the principal force in
society for the uplifting and uphold
ing Of mankind. And that leads direct
ly to the proposition that bad woman
is more wicked than bad man, and
a greater weight upon the social body.
Yesterday the two little daughters
OF John Hesley, sent to states prison
lately for six months for the killing Of
John Currie, applied to the board of
county commissioners for aid and care
on the ground that their mother Is not
a fit or competent person to care for
them, and neglects her duties toward
them as a mother.
The little girls, IA and years of age,
respectively, presented themselves at
the Office of the county commissioners
and the older made personal appli-
cation to Commissioner Clark that the
commissioners make provision for the
care of the hitler girl, saying that she
could get work and take care Of herself
probably.
The tale she told was one to arouse
pity for her and her sister and regret
at the condition of decentralization into
which their mother has fallen. She
stated to Mr.. Clark that she has been
living with Mrs. Hawkins. resident
of South Butte, for two weeks, being
unable to remain at home, for the rea-
son that her mother lives in dissi-
pated and disorderly way. She said
that her mother put her little sister
out of doors few nights ago, and that
the little one, homeless, was taken in
by Mrs. Harrington, a neighbor, out
Of charity.
The Orphans home is crowded at
present and the commissioners are in
receiptsof a letter stating they cannot
care for any more children. For that
reason the county commissioners could
not send the little girl to the home at
this time. So Commissioner Clark gave
the older girl an emergency order for
groceries and deferred taking action
In the case. The commissioners believe
the older girl is disposed to do right
and will take care of herself If given
an opportunity. The case Of the little
girl is a fit one for the consideration
of the Associated Charities. If she Il
cared for till her father is liberated
he will take care of her afterward prob
ably.

roll because they were the children OF
railroad men and according to some
newly discovered system of classifica-
ton, should be listed as "foaters' and
dropped off. The superintendent con-
sidered the matter, but up to date his
decision has not reached this far Havre
people claim the charge to have been
made by jealous minded residents Of
rival town.

Birmingham, June 1.-The stock market
opened active and weak and dealings show
ed the general characteristics that were
presented yesterday. There were no addi-
tons to the situation in the way of new
developments, and the absence of future
cases of yellow fever in the south was
accounted favorable, though it had little
effect upon trading. Dealings for foreign
account were on both sides. Soon after
the opening the pressure of selling SEEM
ed to abate somewhat and firmer tone
was apparent. Sugar rallied sharply and
still advanced on London buying Southern
Railway and Louisville and Nashville were
firm. The market was active and unsettled
in the morning. with very sharp declines in
Tobacco and Western Union. The break
in Western Union in advance of the divi-
dend declaration caused rumors to circu-
late that q reduction in the rate was
probable. The local traction shares con-
tinued heavy and the recession in stand
ard issues attained material proportions.
