Subpenas Said to Have Been Received
in the Clark Case.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 27.-It is reported here
that several Montana witnesses have
already been subpenaed by telegraph
by the sergeant-at-arms of the United
States senate, to go to Washington and
testify before the senate committee on
elections and privileges in the Clark
case, but some Helena parties reported
to have received such messages are
communicative. Among those said
to have been thus called to Washington
are State Auditor Poindexter and State
Treasurer Collins, Fred Whiteside, W.
A, Clark and H. l.. Myers There is
another report that United States Mar
shall Woolman has list of prospective
witnesses to summon and that he is
waiting orders from Washington before
serving the papers. The marshal re-
fuses to say whether the report is true
or false and absolutely declines to fur
nish any information on the subject
Despite this it is believed that the pa
pers are to be served in the state in the
next two or three days. The reason
for the secrecy is presumed to be
founded on the fear that certain parties
wanted by the committee may seek to
eyade service,

Washington, Dec. 27.-General Gilbert
S. Carpenter. who was recently con-
firmed as brigadier general in the reg
ular army, has been placed on the re-
tired list on his own application. after
80 years service. His last service was

PLANS MAKING FOR
A RAID INTO CANADA
Organizsd Movement Toward Crossing
the Boundary With Well Equipped
Army of Trained Soldiers.

New York, Dec! 27.-Relative to the
attitude of the Irish revolutionary soci-
cites toward the government of Great
Britain at the present juncture of af-
fairs, the Evening Post to-day quotes
an officer of the Clan-na-Gael as say
ing:
England can only be made to feel
by physical force, and we're now going
to give her some Boer treatment. We
did intend going out and sinking that
first expedition from Canada to South
Africa, but thought it better to wait a
little. We can mobilize our men with
out much difficulty for an attack on
Canada, and we are fairly well armed
las well as the United States troops
in the Spanish war. We have lots of
Springfield rifles, and are handy with
the bayonet. No decision has been ar
rived at yet Everything will depend
on the immediate future. We have
either regiments or companies all over
the country, and are fairly we'll drilled,
and a great many of our men are in
the militia. The Ancient Order of Hi
bernians has really nothing to do with
this. It numbers about $50, 900, and
majority of its members belong to our
organization. All of It's officers do, and
SO, of course, 1t will act with us. We
have lots of men in the regular army
camps or clubs in every post-and
even If they were sent against US to
stop us on the border. they would eth
er march across with us or give us
blank cartridges.
"If 1t is decided to attack Canada,
we shall do all in our power to keep
matters so secret as not to embarrass
the government until we are on the
border. The French population in Can
ada would be with us, and there are
numbers of our own countrymen ready
to welcome us. Canada would be an
easy mark. We would have the Cana
dian loyalists on the run in a week."

ENLISTING RECRUITS.
Two Boer Agents at Work in New York
City.

City.
New York, Dec. 27.-The work of en-
listing men in this city to take the
Boer side in the war is in charge Of
two agents, who operate in saloon
near police headquarters. The leader
in the movement is Gustav Simon, a
Boer recently arrived from the Trans
vaal. Associated with him is a young
German, Henry Scharff, who has lived
many years among the Beers and who
reached New York a week ago from
Pretoria. Simon owned several hotels
and saloons in Johannesburg: these
were closed up when the war began,
and being incapable of active service
in the field, he came here in the interest
of his country. Scharff, his companion
in this work, was among the first to
come out from the Yukon country with
news of the Klondike gold fields, and
has mining interests there and in the
Transvaal. Since his return to the
Transvaal from Alaska he has been in
the confidence of the Boer leaders, and
he has been sent here on this special
mission

Washington, Dec. 2T.-Word has been
received here recently that the Mexican
government has abolished the export tax
on coffee. This is expected to have con-
siderable effect in the United States by
increasing the receipts of Mexican coffee.
At present most of the Central Ameri-
car. coffee-growing countries raise part
of their government revenues by taxing
coffee exports. But with the prosperity
Mexico has enjoyed of late it has been
determined to reduce the revenue taxes,
and coffee has been one of the articles
selected for an abolition of tax.
