HIT A HARD BLOW.

| An Effort Being Made Whereby Living
ston Will Lose Tourist Trade.
The story is just beginning to leak
out about scheme for taking the tour
ist trade away from Livingston and re-
moving the terminus Of the Park
branch run to a point twenty miles east
of here, says the Ii, ingston Post.
Some time ago bond was given by
Timothy Murray Of Butte, the owner of
Hunters Hot Springs. to a syndicate
who will take charge CT the Springs
hotel and operate the resort, presuma-
bly, on magnificent scale. Now, the
story goes, several prominent men in
Montana. who are interested in the new
syndicate which controls the hotel. will
secure the cooperation Of Northern
Pacific officials and build mammoth
hotel near the railroad at Springdale
and pipe the water from the springs,
three miles away to the new resort,
which will be made the headquarters
for the Park tourists and the eastern
terminus Of the Park trains route from
Cinnabar. The feasibility of such a
scheme and the probability that the
railroad would favor plan looking to.
ward combining the attractions Of the
two popular points Of interest for tour
ists-the Hot springs and the Parks
causing business men Of this city, who
are aware Of the movement, much con.
Germ. The tourists trade has always
been looked upon as one of the thriving
resources Of the place and there is every
reason to believe that an attempt will
be made to head off the proposed move
ment when the designs Of the new hotel
company become generally known.

THE COUNTY INSTITUTE

Will Meet Here Next Month-Good In
structors Coming.
The Yellowstone county teaches in.
stitute will be held in Billings, Novem.
ber 1S, IA, and 10, 1899. The day
sessions will be held in the north side
school building. Arrangements are
being made for holding two evening
public sessions in the court house,
when lectures of an interesting and
instructive nature will be delivered.
The instructors this year are State Su-
perintendent Carlton, D. E. Sanders,
president of the state normal school at
Dillon, and Oscar J. Craig, president of
the Montana state university at Mis-.
soula. This is a trio of instructors
that should attract every teacher in

gramme of the sessions, which will be

about thirty teachers will be in at.
tendance at the institute.

'THE WAR is NOW ON
Formal Declaration Made by the
Transvaal Government
Last Thursday.
THE BOERS ARE ACTIVE
Kimberly Seems to Be the Immedi-
ate Center Of Interest-Rail-
way Cut at Belmont.
THE BOERS ARE ACTIVE

Johannesburg, Oct 12.-War wa!
declared yesterday. The formal dec
laratinn occurred at 10 O'Clock thi.
morning.
| London, Oct 16.-The gradual cut
ting off Of outlying points at the scene
Of hostilities in South Africa Of tele
graphic communication has reduced
accurate news obtainable to the mini
mum. Thus far, however, no reliable
information has been received of any
actual fighting except at Klaaipan and
the occasional exchange Of shots Al
various outposts.
There is no lack of circulnstantia]
stories regarding fighting at various
points, but these are scarcely published
before they are denied. The only sal.
lent facts in this mornings kilograms
are that the Beers have advanced be.
yond Newcastle and formed laager
near Danhausser (not Dannpauser)
about 10 miles north Of Dundee, and
that Kimberly is isolated and proba-
bly, invested.
Kimberly has thus become the i'm
mediate center of interest. The last
message from Kimberly prior to the
cutting of the telegraph and railway
by the Beers said: ''All troops at Kim
berly are we'll.
Many stories of brush fighting at that
point are in circulation, but although
the forces are likely to have come in
contract all alleged details must be
regarded as premature and speculative,
especially il the report be true that the
Orange Free State troops are now IN
complete possession Of the railway from
Kimberly to Orange river 20 miles
away.
The alleged virulence of the Boer
attacks upon Mafeking and. Kimberly
can readily be understood when it is re-
allied that Bechuanaland is to the
Beers what Alsaoe- Lorraine is to
France. 1t is, therefore. probable both
towns will be forced to undergo long
and dreary investment before the Brit.
ish are in position to send relieving
columns.
On the other side Of the country the
Beers are closing around the British
outposts and have already come into
touch with them and exchanged shots.
Therefore. more stirring news is expect.

BUTTE CITY IN DANGER.

| Is Literally Sliding Down Hill, Says a
Correspondents.
The startling fact has become evident
that for several weeks a large portion
Of the city of Butte has been sliding
down hill, says Butte correspondent
of the Minneapolis Journal. The evi.
denoe Of it is seen on a number of large
buildings and residences, including the
county court house and the residence
of United States Senator W. A. CLARK,
which have been cracked and fissured.
Biologists express the opinion that the
buildings damaged are located on a
seam Of rock or earth along which a
cleavage is taking place.
The evidence Of the slide is seen
from the county court house, which is
located on West Granite street, about
half way up the long hill upon the
slope OH which the city is built. and
from that point west two blocks and
south and west near the western limits
Of the city. The heavy brick inside
walls Of the court house have cracked
from top to bottom.
The handsome residence of Senator
CLARK, situated a block and half far
ther west, has been assured clear
through the building from east to west,
and on the west side from the roof
through three stories down to the
ground, at the bottom Of the fissure be.
ing over an inch wide, az II the south.
ern portion Of the house has followed
the slide while the north half remained
solid. The stuooo work and decorative
moulding on the inside, clear through
the house from one sido to the other, ia

A Western Union bulletin received
in this city just about noontime stated
that today's race had every appearance

in addition the Columbia was beating
the Shamrock worse. Another bulletin
received at 80 p. m. says: "Sham-

WATCHING TRANSvAAL.
No Official Information Has Been Re-
ceived Regarding Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The situation
in the Transvaal is regarded by officers
here as critical. Thus far, however, the
state department has not received any
word from any source concerning the
strained condition of affairs, and there
is no disposition to take up such Il
question of neutrality and the care of
our interests in that locality unless the
war issue is actually framed.
Charles MacRum is the United States
consul stationed at Pretoria. He has
sent a number of communications, all
of them dealing with commercial af-
fairs, and has not touched on the deli
cate political conditions existing.
The United States also has a consular
agent, ]. H. Manion, at johannesburg.
but he has not been heard from since
he was appointed. There has been re-
cent reports from johannesburg that a
colored blacksmith, claiming 10 be an
American, had been roughly handled
by the field comets, and that he had
raised the question of his American cit
izenship. and had appealed to the
American representative. The state de-
partment has been expecting to hear
from Mr.. Manion, but nothing has come
thus far.
Admiral Hewison's return will prob
ably shed much light on the condition
of affairs in the Boer country and the
extent of American interests. for while
the Chicago was in South African
waters the admiral spent much time at
Pretoria and Johannesburg. The adj
miral has as yet made no report of his
movements

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS' PLANS.
The League at Boston Issues An Ad-
dress to the Country.

Boston, Aug. 15.-The anti-1mperial-
list League, at a meeting today voted
to issue a pronunciamento. which was
given out tonight through its preSi-
dent, Ex-Governor George S. Boutwell,.
The document asserts that anti-im-
perialist movement has made rapid
progress in the past five months and
declares:
This league is now carrying on the
contest and it will continue to carry it
on, upon the idea and in the belief that
the United States, that the president of
the United States especially, is respon-
sible for the war and that President
Mckinley at any moment, or the
United Staes, acting through him or
through a successor. can bring the war
to an end. 1t is our purpose TO aid in
bringing the war to an end and in adj
vance we reject any and every scheme
of compromise
"Our information and experience JUS
tify the opinion that the body of anti
imperialists the country over will dis
regard the claims of domestic ques-
tions, subordinating them. one and all.
to the single purpose of comprehen-
sive public policy, the purpose to bring
the army of the United States out of
the Philippine islands with the least
possible delay and without delay to
recognize in the inhabitants of the
Philippines, of Cuba and Porto Rico,
the right of self government, agree

of independence and as pledge of the
