Says Only Guarantee of Peace Lies IN
British Suprenacy

Says Only Guarantee of Peace Lies In
British Supremacy.
London, Nov. 30-Addressing a meet
ing of 1000 people in Leicester last ev-
ening, Joseph Chamberlain devoted the
greater part of a long speech to JUS
tihcation of the governments policy in
South Africa and to refutation of the
arguments of the Earl of Kimberley,
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and
Others
According to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman," said Mr. Chamberlain,
we ought to have skulked back to our
holes when Mr.. Kruger refused to listen
to our peaceful representations. That
would have lost us South Africa, weak
ened our hold upon India and earned
US the contempt of mankind.
He reiterated that the war was inevi-
table, although doubtless Mr.. Kruger
would have preferred to wait until Eng
land was involved with some other pow
err"
Referring to the conditions under
which the Gladstone government grant
ed the convention of 1881, he denied that
the grant was made because Mr.. Glad
stone feared a general Dutch rising.
1 lie fedi TedSOIl, lie asserted, was
because the Gladstone government be-
lieved the annexation of the Transvaal
in 1877 occurred under misapprehen-
sion by Lord Beaconsfield that major
ity of the Beers desired annexation. 1t
was afterward proved that this was not
their desire, and the annexation was
cancelled"
Referring to the basis and conditions
Of settlement after the war, Mr.. Cham
berlain said:
II do not like to divide the skin before
I have caught the bear, but I must in
sist that the Beers by their own action
have created clean sheet, upon which
we can write what we please, and feel
convinced that our loyal fellow subjects
in Cape Colony and Natal would regard
no solution as durable which did not
provide beyond the shadow of doubt
for the supremacy of the British flag
the only guarantee of settled peace and
the only security for the just treatment
of all the races of South Africa"

Merchants Demand Protection From
Travelling Dealers.

Merchants Demand Protection From
Travelling Dealers.
Missoula, Aug. 2S.-Local merchants
feel that they are not sufficiently pro-
tected in the matter of license from
the inroads that are made into local
legitimate business by travelling deal
ers who bring here damaged stock.
or a bankrupt stock or a salvage
stock, or whatever they call it. These
itinerant dealrs pay no taxes; they un-
load a lot of stuff upon the public that
would not be looked at by buyers If
found in local stock. They spend no
money in the city and they take out
hundreds of dollars that should go to
the local merchants.
1t is the prevailing sentiment here
among business men and others that
the license that is required of these
transient traders should be made so
heavy as to be prohibitive. This is the
best means of keeping them out of the
town. Their presence here Injuries the
legitimate business of local merchants
and the latter deserve better protec
ton than they receive 1t is manifestly
unfair that merchant who pays taxes
upon his stock and his fixtures; who
lives here and whose money is circu-
lated in the city should be required to
compete with itinerant concerns who
are here to-day and somewhere else to-
morrow The local dealer is here the
year around. He pulls through the dull
season by careful management and, as
soon as business livens up and he sees
fair trade in prospect, some outside
concern with a damaged stock, refused
by the buyers of some other commun-
ity, comes in and stampedes the pub
lie, taking business that by right be-
longs to the merchant whose store is
open IL months in the year.
Local photographers have recently
been compelled to meet. the cheap
prices advertised by a travelling picture
man who had opened temporary quar-
tiers here. This man advertises largely
by means of hand bills, and yet he does
not have these printed here. He sends
his printing order to San Francisco be-
cause he can get 1t for one dollar less
than the local prices,
The people of this, or any other city,
should consider these things. A man
who makes his money in this city owes
something to that city more than the
mere services that he has rendered for
his wages or his salary. This is his
home and he should have an interest
in the welfare of the community. He
can best promote his towns interest by
patronizing home institutions The
man who boosts along these bankrupt
sales salvage sales, fire sales, auction
sales-by whatever name they are
known-is not doing the right thing
by his town. Some means should be
adopted to keep these transients out of
business. In the first place. their Ii
cense should be made so high as to be
prohibitive, and in the second place, cit
items should withhold their patronage
This would soon put a stop to the pir-
acy practiced by these transient raiders
and would result in material benefit to
the city. Missoula people should con-
slider these facts carefully.

Deserter Lew Crawford Did Not Need a
Trial
Missoula, Aug. 2S-Lew Crawford,
alias T. J. Hogan, the arrested de-
serter, was not taken back to the Occur
dAlene country tonight, according to
arrangements. This afternoon Attor-
ney c. H. Hall applied for a writ of
habeas corpus for the man on the
ground that he was illegally detained
and deprived of his liberty. 1t was
claimed that the sheriff arrested him
without any warrant. The argument
upon the application for writ was set
for o'clock tomorrow night, but was
afterwards set forward to tonight at
I o'clock AT that hour the prisoner,
without having consulted his counsel,
said that he was willing to accompany
the officer to Wallace.
When Mr.. Hall came into the court
room he was amazed at the turn of af-
fairs, but he could do nothing with the
deserter and he was taken into custody
by the military and taken to the guard
house at Fort Missoula.

VISITED BY A CYCLONE
Welcome Gulch Swept by
Storm.
TORE THINGS TO PIECES
Large Trees Were uprooted and Pulled
From the Ground 1t Cut
Straight Path Through
the Timber.

Missoula, Aug. 2S.--What is most I'M
usual in Western Montana, a cyclone,
tore things to pieces in Welcome gulch
last week. Glen Whaley, who brought
the news to the Standard, says that
the storm was a very remarkable one.
1t swept all of the timber from the por-
tons of the gulch that 1t traversed,
twisting large trees and small, uproot
ing them, scattering branches and huge
sections of trunks promiscuously about.
Two men who are mining in the gulch
were in their cabin when they heard
the roar of the approaching storm, far
down the gulch. The crash of falling
timber and the awful roaring of the
wind frightened them and gave warn
ing that the storm was an unusual one.
They decided that they would be safe
est under ground and started for that
shelter. They only got as far as the
door, however, when the wind struck
the cabin and drove them back. They
huddled close to the heavy log walls of
the building, expecting every moment
that their structure would be demol-
ished. With an awful crash, two huge
trees fell across the little cab n,
wrecking the roof and covering them
with debris, but the log walls held
firm and the men were not injured.
A short distance above the cabin the
| storm lifted suddenly and the line of
| standing timber that borders the path
of the storm is as straight as if run by
| an engineer. When the men crawled
out of the wreck of their cabin fear
| full sight met their eyes. All around
them were the ruins of the forest that
a few hours before had been standing.
Trees had fallen in all directions, SO
| that the gulch was impossible. Some
of the small saplings had been so pill
able that they had not snapped, and
| these were still standing, but the small
| limbs and branches were twisted about
| the trunks, giving evidence of the ro-
| tary motion of the wind.
The men at once went to work to re-
| pair their cabin and to open the trail
| to their mine, $50 yards away. The
| fallen timber was SO thick that it re-
| quired several days to get the trail
open, even for this short distance.
