CAPE Town, Dec. 13.-It is reported

dribbled through seem to indicate that

ing that the British and Beers were in
touch in both directions Monday.
There is no confirmation of the report
of another day-long battle along the
Modder river Monday, but possibly
there has been presumption of fighting,
as reported by General Cronje, as the
searching lyddite shell fire of Sunday
was probably a preliminary to an ad.

gestion that the British have made a
sweep, by way of Helpmakar, and are
preparing to attack the Beers north of
Ladysmith in the rear.
Ignorance of British Intelligence.
A message from Naauwpoort, dated
Monday, Dec. ii, says that General
French has apparently no inclination to
withdraw his advanced troops at Arun-
del, as feared might be the result Of
General Gatacre's defeat. General
French reports that his artillery, Dec.
II, forced an advance post of the Beers
south of Colesberg, to %evacuate its posi-
ton and seek refuge behind Vaalkop.
There is great indignation in Great
Britain at the ignorace the British are
displaying in estimating the Boer
strength in Cape Colony. Experts aver
that $4,000 Beers will have to be driven
out of the colony before the passage of
Orange river can be commenced.
The Rhodeslan force advancing to the
relief Of Mafeking reached Gaberone's
fort Dec. 2, and found the Beers had
evacuated the place. The Rhodesians

Jerry Us Washington special says:
1t is probable that North Dakota sen

tween General Allen and Major Hamil-
ton in selecting a North Dakotan for

Endorsed by the legislature for some
position in Washington. and efforts

of a division in the census office. hut
that failed. He is now being pushed
by his friends for Il good senate job.
Major Hamilton has heen here for
some time looking over the field. He
wants to be reading clerk, the position
paying $4,000 a year. Just what North
Dakota will get has not been deter
mined. 1T is possible that Hans
brough, as a member of the senate
steering committee. may he able to
land Il good place for himself, and Nc
.Cumber. In the event that he does
lie will relieve himself of some embar-
aSsment as both Allen and Hamilton
will then be appointed.

Dr.. L. E. Benson, who has been away
from Barnes county for several years,
rather unexpectedly dropped in mere
Tuesday morning and has since been
kept busy shaking hands with old
friends, says the Valley City Times
Record. The doctor has been in Alas
ka since leaving here and has interests
in mines at both Dawson City and
Cape Nome, the new mining district.
Judging by the appearance Of the dia-
mOnd horseshoe which he wears in his
cravat his experience in that country
has not been improbable. His visit
to the states vas accidental. He came
to Vancouver this fall to purchase ma
chinery and provisions and expected
to return to Cape Nome as soon as his
business was completed. He did not
like the appearance of the boat on
which he was figuring to make the
trip and consequently, as it was the
last boat of the season, will not go
back till next spring.
