whom he suspseys of being one of tine six

miles. this side of Rock Creek, Wyo., ON
the 22nd of last June, and for whom there
is an aggregate reward of $4,000 ouIStaIld-
ing. or SS,000 each. a
The name of the man under arrest could
not be learned tonight, but it IS understood
that he answered the description of the
first of the men named in the offer of re-
ward.
The man is said to have given himself
away in a nverSation with a friend. He
was employed on the railroad near Idaho
Falls and was overheard to tell a friend
that he was one of the men who held UP
the Union Pacific in Wyoming last June,
and that there was a reward outstanding
for him. The man who overheard the con-
versation came to Ogden and reported the
matter to Agent CorSe, who promptly told
the sheriff. Their informant was instruct
ed to return TO Idaho, and If the suspect
was still there, to telegraph them This
he did Thursday afternoon. The same
evening Sheriff Layne and Deputy Bailey
left for the north.
Yesterday morning a telegram came
from the officers stating that they had ar
rested a man and it was expected that
they would arrive this evening, but they
did not come.
1t is likely that Layne will arrive tomor-
row morning and then the name and de-
scription of the man will be learned.

ANOTHER SCENE IN THE HOUSE.
Sergeant-at-arms Called Upon to
Eject William Redmond.

London, Oct. 20.-The house of COM
mons, having gone into committee of
supply, the parliamentary under secre-
tary of state for war, Mr. Wyndham,
introduced the supplementary army es-
Inmates. Dealing with the army corps
now going out Mr.. Wyndham said it
numbered $4,000 regulars. all trained
and mature men, including 5000 cav
airy, ia guns. POI wagons, from 5000
to 1000 horses and $4,000 mules.
1t had been necessary to call a por-
tion of the reserve in order to bring
some of the regiments to their full war
strength. The government therefore
had called for $4,000 men. Assuming
that 2l,000 would be effectiVe-and this
expectation had been fully verified-the
British force in the field would consist
of 10000 men with the colors and 21,0OO
reservists.
The cost of modifying 1900 men.
transferring them 5000 miles, equipping
them. maintaining them for four
months in a land destitute of surplus
supplies. MIR. Wyndham said. would be
s7000O00.
Mr.. Wyndham concluded with an
eulogy of the ommander-in-c chief
Lord Wolseley. and of the officers OF
the colonies. The Irish members and
Henry Labouchere alone opposed the
estimates.
Mr.. Michael Davitt. nationalist, char
acterized the war as a "hideous and
damnable massacre" He said there
had never been such magnificent rob-
berry by force. doubtless because the
prize was the greatest that ever tempt
ed the cupidity of the empire"
John Dillon, nationalist, thought that
great country ought to be ashamed
to have to call out its reserves.
William Redmond. Pamellite. vigor-
ously denounced the policy of the gov
eminent. and was repeatedly called to
order by the speaker for rambling. He
contrasted the attitude of Great Britain
toward Venezuela with her attitude to-
ward the Transvaal
In the former case" he said, "the
United States announced that Great
Britain would have to arbitrate, and
the British lion went to sleep. There
has been no arbitration with the Trans
wall because the Transvaal has no
neighbor like the United States"
Proceeding to discuss the vote
Redmond again protested against
the vast sums being spent in
war. declaring that the money ought
to be expended in aid of distressed Ire
land.
At this point the chairman inter
posed, declaring that Mr.. Redmond's
remarks were irrevelant.
Mr.. Redmond persisted in his re-
marks and the chairman asked him to
do, and he was then ordered to with
draw, which order also he refused to
obey.
An uproarous scene ensued, Mr.. Red
mond attempting to continue and his
voice being drowned by the cheers OF

Ladysmith. Finally large force was
10 make a convetging attack on Glen
coe.
The first two items of the programme
We're successfully carried out, but the
'combined operation against Glencoe
failed, owing probably to the fact that
the Boer military organization is too
rough and amateurish to bring large
forces into simultaneous action.
1t is believed that only 1000 Beers
were in the actual action. A report says
that 5000 more were advancing from
Hatting'S Pruit and a battalion of the
Leicester regiment was sent to hold
them in check, but as already cabled
this force is now in retreat.
Not an impossible explanation is the
difference of opinion between the youn-
ger and elder Beers. Where the for
mer We're determined at all costs to
push on and attack without delay, the
older Beers, who wished to wait until
all the columns were ready, had fallen
back to Newcastle and left the others
TO fight alone. AS a result of this
hastiness the Beers were defeated and
lost a, number of guns. 1t is consid-
cred probable that the older Beers will.
in the future, decide the mode of con-
ducting the campaign, and mutual re-
examinations, if nothing else, will ham
per and delay their future actions
1t is almost impossible to overestf-
mate the Importance of this initial vic
tory the result of an engagement in
which, in fairly fought field, discipline
and tactical skill have told heavily Be
sides restoring British prestige it has
proved that the Boer artillery. whether
directed by Germans or not, is practi-
cally valueless.
1t is reported that General Symon's
wound is not mortal. 1t is expected
that his command will now be en-
trusted to Sir Archibald Hunter
While expressing sympathy with the
gallant officer and regret that his serv-
ices are lost to the forces, the edi-
tcrials in this mornings papers are
ringing with songs of victory and ridi-
Guile of the Boer threats to drive the
British into the sea.
The general belief is that the Beers
will now confine themselves to
guerrilla tactics.
