Great Falls. April 3.-If there is a
spot on the inhabited globe where they
love Joke it is in and around Lewis
town. No one escapes. be he of high
or low degree. and oftentimes the joke
is carried to a limit which tries the
victims soul In consequence the aver
age Lewistown man looks at one sus-
piciously when a statement is made
and starts a quiet investigation of his
own later. In fact the practical joke
is a close rival of the morning cocktail
in Lewistown and if anything is about
two laps ahead. So when Billy Ora

week from Gilt Edge and confided to
his friends that he expected to become
married while in town the friends won

The story was sent to Gilt Edge and
friends there Immediately called up
Lewistown by telephone and inquired
of w. ]. Rafter who also happened to
be in LewistOwn, as to the facts in the
case. Mr.. Rafter Immediately assured
the Gilt Edge people that Graham was
really about TO become a benedict. 1t

drive to Gilt Edge. The circumstances

Review of Situation,

New York. Dec. 9.-Reviewing the An
glo- Boer situation the London cores
pondent of the Herald says: Such dis
quiet as was caused in London by the
news that Gen. Methuens communica-
tions had been cut at Gras Pan was fleet
ing, for information reached the war Of
flee at midnight that the British COM
mander at Modder river had again been
heard from. 1t was also learned that
General Darlington had arrived at Mod
der river to take command of the cavalry,
presumably taking up with him the ma
jor portion of a brigade. /,
Almost simultaneously came brief dis
patch indicating that the long expected
advance for the relief of Ladysmith had
begun This important news was con-
tained in an agency telegram from Pre-
tOria. saying that an official report from
the Boer head laager near Ladysmi;h
vancing on ColensO. From the date OF
| the dispatch, Thursday, it would appear
that the northward movement from Frere
began on Wednesday.
The Boer positions on the Tugela had
not been attacked up to Wednesday
night. No confirmation OF this is forth
| coming, either from the war Office or from
newspaper dispatches, but it is eviden,
| on reading some of the lat,cr that the
hand of the censor had been al work.
On the Natal side there is good reason
| to believe that an action is imminent. This
| difficult work of bridging the rugslsl river

| tions, in which heavy arms are being
mounted behind masonry.

London, Dec 9-While SO far as the
actual British advance is concerned this
mornings dispatches show little change
i'm the situation, the authorities antici-
pate from the announcement that the
howitzers and cavalry have reached
Methuen and that Butler has received
the heavy artillery, for which he was
waiting, that the advance will no longer
be delayed
News of important battles by both gem
erals is expected soon. The fact that
Butler has ordered 200 stretcher bearers
from PietcrmaritZburg 20 assist the reg
ular ambulance corps indicates that he
anticipates sharp fighting.

sent by White, presumably showing the
disposition Of the Boer forces and the
vulnerable points.
The engineers at Frere camp have done
a good weeks work in completing a

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Washington, Dec. 9.--The close of the
first week of congress ends the initial
round of the Clark-Daly senatorial con-
test with the principals in their corners
and their seconds tanning them vigor-
ously
The Introduction of the protest signed
by Smith, Collins, John r. Toole, Stiff and
others was wholly unexpected by the
Clark people who We're surprised that Car
ter consented to introduce it.
Anaconda claims first blood on that ac-
count, bu Butte claims the first knock
down in the previous admission Of Clark
to seat.
The records We're ransacked for a prece-
dent which would justify some senator in
objecting to the oath being administered,
as in the Roberts case, but no senate pre-
cedent was found, nor is it certain that
any senator would have assumed such
responsibility in advance Of unbiased in
vestigation and report.
The protest of Clarks enemies present.
ed by Carter may be followed by others,
but in view Of contradictory statements
Of the Montana situation and the alleged
animus of both the Clark and Daily fac
tons, competent authorities assert that
the senate will take nothing for granted
will ignore all elimination and recrimina-
ton, and will do it's own investigation
under an able, honorable and impartial
committee.
Whether either side sincerely desires
this course of procedure remains to be
seen. The only thing now certain is
that the people of the country will have
a view of the hideOus interior workings
of the Montana democracy under pres
ent and past leadership, and of the per-
sonal feud which has finally been brought
to the national capital for investigation
and fumigation. owing to the rivalry of
the two copper kings, who, like Tamasese
and Malietoa of the South seas, have
| finally got all their people in arms
| against one another and lost what they
! fought for.
ClarkS seating was Il severe blow to
| the hopes of his enemies, while the pro-
! test of some state officers and some state
| Legislators was a counter of considerable
! effectiveness.
! Mr.. DAILY is in New York, closely
watching events. and relentless in his
purpose to unseat his rival. Mr.. Clark
is in Washington, apparently confident,
! but nervous, and in reality as uncertain
| about the result Of the game as the
| master politician who has been on his
trail for twenty years.
! To the casual visitor the situation is
| interesting, to the MOntanians it is
| alarming to the Washingtonian it is

| sort of fellows are you in Montana
Haven't you got copper mines enough to

Lydditc Guns Arrive.

New York, Dec "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The first six
Of the IS Howitzers sent from England
after an inexplicable delay on slow trans
ports, arrived several days ago at Cape
town and as there is no record of the
transshipments to Durham 1t is probable
that they have gone up the country to
Lord Methuen, although it is not known
whether they passed Gras Pan before the
railway was cut by the raiders. The re-
naming IL have gone to Durham, where
they viii probably be landed on Tuesday.
These guns are equal to the best artillery
in the possession of the Beers and are ca
pable of discharging at long range lyd-
dite shells of 80 pounds. 1t was worth
while for both General Butler and General
Methpen to wait for these powerful guns

bility that the siege has already been
raised. The fact that from the end of
last month dispatches from Colonel Pa
den-Powell and various correspondents
have been coming through from the be-
leaguered town very much quicker would
appear to bear out the belief that the
siege became weaker since General Cron-
je's force was called south to reinforce
the Beers at Modder river and around
Kimberley. A message from Magalopye
says preparations had been completed for
an advance in force for the purpose of re-
pairing the railway and restoring COM
munieation with Mafeking. A dispatch
from Modder river dated last Monday
said that the whole Mafeking commando
had joined the Kimberley forces. Final
~ telegram from the Orange river under
date of Tuesday says that reports are
current that Mafeking has been relieved.
