Quantities of stores and ammunition

of troops to Natal is merely a precau-
tionary measure to secure the coal
mines and is in no way in the nature
of menace. There are no imperial
troops on the immediate border. Ru-
mors of collisions should be received
with caution"
The Times has a dispatch from
Johannesburg which asserts. the delay
is creating the worst possible impress
sion in the minds of the burghers, who
tauntingly assert that while Great Brit
ain deprecates the delay upon the part
of the Beers, she intentionally and I'M
necessarily prolongs the controversy
because she is afraid to follow up her
own game of bluff with arguments of
force
Reports are heard on all sides Of the
eagerness of the Beers to start hosti-
tiles, and the postponement is said to
be wholly due to the restraining in
f1uence of General Joubert. 1t is added
that it is believed this influence cannot
be exercised much longer.

held by the Afrikanders. A strongly
worded resolution was passed asking
the government to recall the colonist
forces on the border, as their presence
there is inimical to peace and is calcu-
lated to cause trouble with their fellow
Afrikanders. A telegram from Premier
Schreiner was read saying the govern

resolution, which was supported by two

Big Timber, Sept. 26.-Fires on the
southwest and west of this town to-
night gave the sky a lurid hue. The
first is probably a prairie fire or a rail-
read snow fence, which will soon burn
out, but the other is a timber fire on
the east side of the Crazy mountains,
which was started Sunday by careless
campers. and has now reached such pro-
portions that unless there is an early
change of the wind there is likely to
be disastrous results to some of the
ranchers in the Norwegian settlement,
towards which the fire is rapidly APP
preaching. The fire is between the
east fork of Big Timber creek and An
relope creek, and will in all probability
destroy an area of so square miles of
fine timber before it burns out. The
flames are plainly visible from this
town, % miles distant The whole east
side of the Crazy range is brilliantly
illuminated and presents an awe-in-

GENERAL GRiGGS EXPLAINS
just What His Letter Said in Regard to
Trusts


Washington, Sept. 26-Attorney Gen.
eral Griggs has written the following
reply to a letter recently received from
Governor Pingree of Michigan:
Il am in receipt of your letter of the
21st instant, asking me to send a copy
OF my opinion to the effect that the
United States congress cannot enact g
law which would be effective in sup
pressing trusts, so-called.
In reply beg to say that I have not
rendered, either officially or unofficially,
any opinion of the kind. On the con-
trary, this department has been en-
gagged in bringing numerous suits in the
United States courts under the Sher-
man act of July 2, 1890, entitled An act
to protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraints and monopolies,' in
several of which cases, notoriously that
against the Trans Missouri Freight as
ISOLATION, 166 U. S. 29O, and against the
Joint Traffic association, III U. s. $50,
the result has been the suppression by
decree of the court of the offending as
ISOLATION or organization.
You may possibly have reference to
a letter OF mine to private citizen,
published several months ago in the
newspapers, wherein l called attention
to the fact that the only jurisdiction
that congress has over combinations or
consultations was in relation to those
which directly affected interstate COM
merce. That this is true, and that it is
the full extent of the Sherman trust
act, you will see by reading the decision
of the United States supreme court in
the case of Hopkins VS.. the United
States. III U. S. SIS, and the case of the
United States VS.. S. c. Knight COM
pany, 176 U. S. /.
You are doubtless aware that it is
not the right or function of the federal
government to interfere with business
transactions carried on within the sew
eral states except upon some ground
expressly authorized by the constitu-
ton. Congress can regulate directly
that which we understand by inter
state commerce. but it has no power to
regulate or control business or COM
merce carried on wholly within the lin
its of state.
81 have called your attention to these
matters not because l assume that you
are ignorant, of them, for you doubtless
understand them well, but only in or
der to explain to you that / have not
given and could not possibly have given
any opinion of the purport expressed in
YOUR letter.

A POOR EXHIBITION.

Score of 20 to B.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, Sept. 26.--The Helena and Bill

here to-day for the benefit of both clubs.

From then on the innings resulted differ
emily, although Helena continued to pile
up runs. The game ended with the phe-

This practically ends the baseball sea-

that from the Helena and Billings clubs
a team can be selected that would worry
anything in the Western league. The
players in the respective clubs left for
home tonight, some going as far as ST.

The Grant made a thorough cruise

she had made for an isolated place on the
