ENGLAND's REPLY TO BoERs.
No Question as to Tenor of the Ex-
Dected Note.

LONDON, October lit cannot be
doubted that Englands reply will be fiat
rejection of President kruger's demands
and that at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon. the
English time an actual state of war will
exist.
Fridays cabinet counsel will have to deal
with the military situation. and parliament
will have little else to do but to sanction
the necessary credits.
Speculations as to the outcome Of the
crisis have now given way in the newspap-
ers to the discussion of military and STRAIT
egical matters
As the British troops continue landing
in South Africa and advancing to the front
it Is quite possible, according to the terms
of the Boer ultimatum, that hostilities have
already commenced, as Kruger has every
thing to gain by an instant advance. Tn
til the arrival of the army corps it is prob
able that the British will everywhere re-
main on the defensive.
Looking at the complicated nature OF
matters, it is almost useless to speculate
at the present stage. but sharp fighting is
likely to occur at Mafeking. whore Colonel

WARRANT OUT FOR ROBERTS.
Utah Representative to Be Prosecuted
on Two Charges

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Salt Lake says: The polyga-
nous Representative-elect Roberts has van
ished from Utah. He may not return for
some time, if at all. However. reouisition
papers will bring him back. He is to be
charged with two felonies, of which polyg-
amy forms the basis, and two misdemean-
ors for unlawfully living with his plural
wives.
The evidence in the polygamy cases will
rest upon the testimony of several respon-
sibe witnesses already secured. In case Of
failure to convict in Utah, aflidavits have
already been drawn to bring a record of the
cases to Congress.
When Roberts learned some weeks ago
of the systematic effort being made to Sc
cure his arrest and of the abundant evil
dence, as shown by aflidavits. he took
fright. He hastily left Utah about a fort
night ago and tonight it is known that he
learned of the plan for his arrest just be-
fore his departure.
1t was announced in the Mormon church
organs here that he was going to New York
to view the Dewey parade, and that later
on he might go to Chicago and then to
Washington. But it has been impossible to
learn of his presence in either of those cit
les and his exact address cannot be OBJ
tanned.

FORESTER ACQUITTED.
Court Room Packed-Jury Returned
Verdict in Less Than a
Hour. !,

When court convened yesterday after!
uoon the court house was crowded with
spectators to hear the pleas in the For
rester case. Prosecuting Attorney A. A.
Jayne made the opening address for the
state, and spoke from 2:45 until :25.
He was followed by H. S. Wilson, for
the defense, who spoke from 80 until
$50. Court then adjourned until 80
p. m.
1t is estimated that when court con-
vened in the evening there were over
five hundred people present. Every
seat in the house was taken and tie
aisles were filed with men and women
anxious to hear the closing arguments.
The room became 30 crowded that at
z 80 an order was issued by the court in
structing the bailiff not to admit anyone
further. After this order was issued full
ly two hundred applied for admission,
but were turned away. Pierce Mays
made the final plea for the defense, and
spoke for nearly two hours when A. s..
Bennett addressed the jury until IL 80,
making the final plea for the prosecu-
ton.
Some very eloquent and forceful
speeches were made, and the large au-
diences was very attentive during the
entire afternoon and evening.
The court then instructed the jury,
who adjourned to their rooms at II :55,
and within fifty-five minutes brought in
verdict of not guilty. The ballots being
taken, the first resulted in a vote of
nine for acquittaI, two for manslaughter
and one for murder in the second degree.
On the second ballot the jury stood
eleven for acquittal and one for man.
slaughter. On taking the third ballot
kall agreed on acquittal.
Forester was brought into court and
when the decision of the jury was an
nounced to him, tears came to his eyes
and he seemed overjoyed. He SHOOK
hands with the jury and number who
| were in the court room, and then lef
for the hotel to break the news to hi

tested cases ever tried here, and ont
which has perhaps caused more wide
spread interest than any previous one

fcrop is anything but encouraging. Mr..
Boon brought to this Office this morning
some branches of apricot trees, the buds
of which are as dead as a door nail, and
the branches have every appearance of
being in the same fix. The peaches and
many of the grape vines we've badly
nipped at his place. Mr.. Schanno in
forms us that he judges about seventy
five per cent of the peach crop will be
failure, mostof the early Crawford be-
ing beyond hope, while the apricots
were also badly injured. AS to other
fruit, he thinks there is good show for
a fair crop.
About the most important personage
at the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s dock is
"Jack,' the wharf boat dog, who is the
property of Mr.. Eastwood, but who,
with his important air, really wears the
purple, and lords it over his subjects at
the dock. One might say that he puts
on great deal of tdog," but one thing

grasps it in his teeth and jumps around
in TIE endeavor to wind it around the
piles, some times holding it till the rope
tightens and takes the bark off of his
mouth. He is always more anxious to
be on hand when the Dalles City arrives,
and has been seen to turn up his nose
when the Flyer comes in sight, knowing
full well there is no .'hand out" for him
there. During the tie-up this winter
when he could not reach the wharf boat,
his attics were amusing and he was like
a water-dog out of water. Heis terror

the pet of ALL and the doggondest dog
in the bunch.

HOW JONES GOT HIS HORSE.
Or the Story of Midnight Reception.

Or the Story of Midnight Reception.
 For long time our ever faithful drayman Jones has been laboring under a sort of one-horse disadvantage, and visions of future wealth and attiuence would flash ftfully before his eyes, and again away, leaving him always just the same one-horse drayman.
 While Jones is musical, he is not poetic enough to be resigned that this should ''go on forever" so he bought another horse down below and this ac- cession to his greatness was expected on the last Al Xii. Now Jones has some of the sore thumb propensities ill his makeup, and when the Al-Ki whistled for the Douglas wharf he wanted to be on hand. So, instead of his usual chris tian manner of retiring, last Monday night found Jones locked in the arms of Morpheus, with his pants on. The Al-Ki came, and whistled; and Jones slept on.
 Kind friends, however, who admired the white horse-and were not averse to red-headed girls-took the spotless animal in hand and, with great eclat, escorted him to the residence of the aforesaid Jones, who, awakening from his slumbers, rushed forth and beheld his lovely steed, and immediately insists ed that he should be christened. This was done so thoroughly that even the most reserved were ready to own the superior qualities of the noble beast.
