A REHEARlNG

Petition In the Special School q
Tax Case.
Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.

Helena, Oct. 13.-Attorney General
Nolan expects to make application to
the supreme court for rehearing of
the Hilburn VS.. Great Northern case
by the decision of which the supreme
court Monday declared illegal all spe-
cial school taxes raised by a vote oc
the district. He is preparing state
ment to be presented to the court set
ting forth why he believes the court
should modify i's decision. He will
probably make the application next
week.
Superintendent Carleton is receiving
numerous inquiries respecting the
scope Of the decision. He says that
from what he has learned he believes
that two-thirds OF the schools will be
affected. He says that If the court
dofs not see fit to modify its decision
he believes that strong representations
should be made to the governor to call
the Legislature together in extra ses-
sion TO remedy the defect in the stat
ute and not deprive thousands of school
children of the state OF the benefits of
full terms of school during the two
years intervening before the next regu-
lar session of the legislature.

test the mobility and efficiency of his
forces. All the men are well and the
weather Is fine

smith to the Standard and the Daily
Telegraph dated Thursday, heavy
storms have begun and forage is scarce
on the veldt. Therefore, nothing is ex-
pected to happen for a few days unless
the Beers should threaten the line of

guns and the Beers II.
The Daily Nails correspondent, tele-
graphing Friday evening. says: II learn
on good authority that the Beers are

had early i2tiHfation of the intention Of
the Beers to destroy railway bridges
over IA streams and sent adequate
forces to protect these points. The re-
suit was that the Beers postponed their
attempt.

Causes Trouble in Canada.

Toronto, Oct. IA special from OF
tawa to the Mail says: The ministerial
situation created by the Transvaal in
cident has about resolved itself into
this: That if the government sends Il
Canadian contingent to South Africa,
J. Israel Tarte will resign. The minis
ter of public works has already made it
pretty plain in his newspaper publica
tions and by speeches that he regarded
the participation by Canada in any one
of England's foreign entanglements, as
he is pleased to term the trouble, as a
phase of imperialism that Quebec Hb-
erals will not tolerate. To-day he spoke
out in the council to the same effect,
and with the result that another days
delay is added to the long period Of
government inaction which Is creating
discomfort at home and disgust in the
mother country.

New York Oct. 13.-Congressman-
Elect BrinGham Henry Roberts from
Salt Lake. Utah, who is in Brooklyn,
came East over a week ago on aprivate
visit. He will remain about week
longer and then go to Philadelphia and
probably to Washington. Speaking to
q reporter, he said that there was no
indictment against him when he left
Utah that he knew Of. nor did he
know that there was now an indict-
ment He had broken no law, he said.
That he had r plurality OF wives was
true, but he had married them before
the manifesto of 1890. There had been
no plural marriages since then. nor
would there be any. Any infringement
of the statutes would be disciplined
by the church as quickly as by the
laws Of the land. Mr.. Roberts said
his visit to Brooklyn was merely a
friendly one to the people Of his own
religious faith. They were here to
preach the gospel and did not desire
to be brought into any controversy
which might affect him.
Speaking of his election to congress,
he safd it had been accomplished in
dependent of the church, as he had re-
ceived the greatest number of votes
from GentiIes, and it had been an cleo
ton Of the people. He had no fear
about facing congress or any misgiv-
ing in regard to the outcome of the
situation.
