BoERs PREPARING TO ATTACK BuLAwAYo.

Cape Town, Nov. 24.-From accounts
received OF General Methuen's ight with
the Beers, 1t appears that Beers from
Fanchsm's farm shelled the advance
body OF British on November 22. The
British artillery shelled hill which the
British subsequently occupied.
The Boer main column left Fsncham's
farm during the afternoon and camped
i've miles ahead. Thursday the Beers
fired from the hills. thousand yards
distant, on the British advance force.
Other troop, pushed up and the engage
ment became general. The British ar
tillery silenced the Boer guns. Crossing
the fire zone amidst storm Of lead the
Grensdier guards and Northumberland

summit doing great execution with their
bsyonets, capturing a lsagsr with guns

BRITISH LOSS.
London, Nov. "a The victory OF Me-
thusns advancing column over the
Beers at Belmont has caused as much

have been In decided minority, yet the
total British loss. 22o killed. wounded and
missing, proves the effectiveness OF their
resistance. The fact that no guns and
only forty prisoners were casptured by
the vctors and that the Boer ~ carried of
their dead shows that they retired In an
orderly manner and that, probably, the
Boer casualties we're not numerous.

bursts of appreciation, however, did
not worry the players a bit. And
when, at the end of the first act, Miss
Sylvia Lynden "a former resident of
Portland) was presented with wheel
borrow-load of flowers, great was the
commotion in the house of Cordray.
Few dramas have been presented in
Portland that were better staged. A
decent regard for faithfulness in de-
tail is noticeable, both in the scenic
effects and the costuming. In this
latter particular the company's man
agement is to be congratulated. The
makeup of several of the leading
characters was very creditable in re-
semblance to the originals. Possibly
the most striking of these was John
CarrOlls representation of General
Fitzhugh Lee. Thomas Fitzgerald
brought out most of the good points
credited to the American sailor, divid-
ing the honors with j. p. insolvency.
who, as "Pat," kept the house In an up
roar whenever he had a chance. "Pat"
and "Wun Wing" the chinese cook,
perpetrated by Frank Cotton, we're
about as dizzy pair as ever decorated
the boards at Cordray's. Mr.. SleYin, as
the Spanish captain, Ridley as Weyler,
Phillips as the English naval officer,
and Wickes as Captain Sigsbee, were
all good. Harry Wilson. with his
"pigeon" Spanish, was unique.
The three ladies of the cast gave
most excellent portrayal of the inter
esting characters they represented.
Miss Wilson, as the American girl, put
viYadty and spirit into the part that
made her an animated idol of the gods
in the gallery. The extremely difficult
and interesting role of the accom-
plished Spanish intrigeuse Senorita
Romero, was most creditably taken by
Josephine Mills, and the fair Cuban
refugee, Maria, was in safe hands with
Miss Lynden, whose strikingly hand
some features added greatly to the gen.
eral effect. The play runs through the
week, and it will not be surprising if
the standing room only" sign is dis
played at every performan ce, as it was
last night.

probably about as brazen and con-
temptlble a piece of legislative juggling
IS was ever attempted. 1t is strong
confirmation of the current suspicion
that other attempts are being made to
conceal the actual extravaganza of the
Steunenberg gang. Indeed the present
legislature has made handsome pro
vision for the same purpose. A bill
has been enacted authorizing the sale
of $4,000 of state bonds.
In view of the fact that a Democrat
ic paper has questioned the truthful
ness Of these correspondence respect
ing an attempt made to pay the def
cheney warrants issued by the Steunen-
berg administration and repudiate
those issued under the Mcconnell ad
ministration, it-may be well to repeat
with emphasis that such thing was
sought to be done and would have
been done were it n 1T for the Republi-
can majority in the senate.
The immigration bill passed and
julie Bassett is made the beneficiary.
Moore, editor of che Pocatello Adoance,
thought for spell that he was on the
slate, but he wasn't. He couldn't re
ciprocate political faVors. The appro.
priations made at this session, it is
said, will come very close to the $780,
900 mark.
A bill, known as the anti illusion bill,
passed the house and senate today. 1t
provided that no candidates name
should appear on the official ballot in
more than one place. This bill was too
clearly in the interest of pure politics
to suit the governor, so he vetoed it.
Things have not been harmonious in
the bosom of the reform union of late.
Speaker Evans has been numerically
snubbed by the governors cohorts and
the Silver Republican allies are on the
verge of revolt. Something heavy and
loud is liable to drop now inside of 40
days. Such men as W. E. Borah, Lieu,
tenant Governor Hutchinson and Mart
Patrie will not much longer consent to
bow obediently before the throne of
the Steunenberg- Martin Williams tri-
umvirate. Brains will not always sup
plicate at the feet of averdupois. Per
haps there is nowhere in all history, sa,
cred or profane, such splendid exam
pie of the domination of fat over fac
ulty as is found today in the midst of
the union of silver forces. The legisla,
lature adjourned at p. m. today,

adjournment will occur tomorrow.
Attempts have been made to dis
credit these correspondence because it
was said that the university deficit
amounting to nearly $4,000 is mostly
due to teachers. Your correspondent
was reliably informed that such was
the case, but probably the information
was inaccurate as relating to teachers.
The main fact, however, that is the
$4,000 deficit, was substantially cor
rect.

ARRAY has somewhat subsidized, but the
general disgust over the shameful af-
fair is increasing. New facts are con-
Stantly coming to light which haYe a
tendency to change sympathy and SEN

most generally accepted as correct:
Representatives Averitt and Hess,
Democrats from Fremont county, en-
gagged in a heated controversy in the
house chamber while the house was in
session and Redwine of Lemhi county
was speaking on the code commission
bill. The honorable gentlemen from
Fremont county began to call each
other names when Averitt made an
assault upon Hess with knife, infict.
ing slight wound below the ribs. The
wound might have been serious and
perhaps fatal had not the knife struck
rib. When Hess discovered what
had been done to him, he promptly
knocked AVeritt down. Immediately
the house was in confusion and the
combatantS were separated. 1t is but
lair to state that Averitt claims that
Hess made the first assault, but, in the
opinion of eye witnesses such was not
