BOERS READY TO FIGHT
Half a Days Notice Is Sufficient
for Them.
IT RESTS WITH ENGLAND
Beers Prefer to Wait Until Grass and
Water Are Plentiful-A Peaceful
Settlement Considered Out
of the Question.

London, Sept. 6.-Advices from vari-
Gus sources indicate that the acute ten
sion in all parts of South Africa con-
tinues. But, unless the Beers take the
initiative. which at present is improb-
able, it is pretty certain that the issue
of peace or war lies solely in the result
of Fridays cabinet council; hence pub
lie attention is centered more upon the
signs of the times as exhibited at the
army stations and the dock yards than
in South Africa itself, though news
from there is eagerly awaited, chiefly
owing to the uneasy feeling that the
Beers might end the diplomatic tangle
by raiding Natal.
1t is reported this afternoon that M.
Chamberlain has sent reply through
Sir Alfred Milner, governor Of Cape
Colony and British high commissioner
of South Africa, to the Transvaal gov
ernment's latest proposal. The matter
is generally understood to be with
drawal of the former concessions and
an initiative agreement for further
conference. 1t seems improbable that
Mr. Chamberlain has done this, as he
would probably have awaited the cabi-
nets decision before taking action, and
even if he has it is hardly likely that his
reply would bring matters to a head
except by irritating the Beers into ag-
gressive action.
The second edition of the Times is
sued this morning publishes a dispatch
from New Castle. Natal, which says
that during yesterdays debate in the
raad regarding the proximity of British
troops to the TranSvaal territory Herr
Delarri, member of the raad, said:
The Beers only require half days
notice to fight"
The correspondent of the Times, con-
tinuing, says: Many conclude that the
defiant tone of the speeches are not un-
connected with the fact that MauSer
ammunition stopped at Delagoa has
now been received.
The Pretoria government admits
that a consignment of cannon is now
on its way from France.
1T is the evident aim of the Beers to
secure time until grass and water are
plentiful. the burghers fully recognizing
that a peaceful settlement of the diftl-
Guilty is out of the question"

HE WAS DRIVEN INSANE
The Same Old Story of Suffering
in Alaska.
DEAD FOOD FOR RAVENS
Fright 'ul Hardships Experienced by
Party of Scientists-Seven Mem
bers of the Expedition
Have Died

Seattle, Wash. Sept. .6-Otto Thews
of Primrose, Iowa, who has arrived here
from Copper river, Alaska, brings news
confirming the reported deaths of seven
members of the scientific prospecting
party of New York. The dead are Ear
hart, Miller, Alderman, Schultz. Peter
siegel, Buttner and Baumgartner
George Hooker. another member of
the party, got out alive, but is badly
crippled with scurvy, which carried
away a majority of his companions
Baumgartner went out hunting one day
and was never seen again.
The most affecting case was that Of
Buttner, who was driven insane by his
sufferings. His weak companions had
to strap him down, but even then they
could not restrain him. One morning
Thews, whose camp was near, found
Buttner sitting out in the snow with
his clothes and hat off. The thermom-
eter was As degrees below zero. Butt
ner was taken inside, but he died in a
few hours The party was camped at
Twelve Mile camp just beyond Valdes
glacier.
Thews also brings a gruesome story
in connection with the finding of the
remains of a jeweler named Smith of
New York, who perished last November
on Valdes glacier. Every exposed por-
ton of the body had been eaten away
by ravens. The remains were identi-
fed to be those of Smith by the cloth
ing and effects found with them. A
purse containing $3.50 was among the
effects.
A prospector named Austed, part
ner of Smith, said a money belt which
contained considerable sum of money
was missing. Thews says he had a
close call crossing the glacier. He fell
into crevasse 1000 feet deep. but the
pack on his back caught him and held
him until his companions could come
to his rescue.

AT THE BANQUET.
Three Large Tables Held the Brilliant
Throng Last Night

Brilliant is the only adjective that
thoroughly describes the banquet given
at the Montana hotel last night.
Three tables were arranged the full
length of the dining room. Against
the west wall palms broke the severity
of the blank stretch Banked against
that wall were masses of roses and
other cut flowers.
Down the long tables frequent bou-
quets of sweet peas, dainty tea roses
and carnations made attractive bits of
color against the white napery and
sparkling cut glass.
Overhead streamers of national colorS
led from chandelier to chandelier. There
We're enough charming feminine gowns
scattered through the assembly to en-
liven the dead black and white of male
attire. Evening dress on the men,
while not the rule, was general enough
to lend a brilliant air to the room.
1t was 1906 p. m. when the orchestra,
concealed from the view of the diners,
struck up a march, a signal for the
opening of the doors and the seating
of the guests.
Beside each plate was a daintily de-
signed menu card, the cover being of
cream color on which, in bronze. was
turkey on pen. with the inscription:

AGUINALO0 NO HERO.
Barrett Takes Exception to Lentz' Flights
of Fancy.

Seattle, Sept. 6-Former United
States Minister to Siam John Barrett
delivered an address here tonight un-
der the auspices of the Seattle cham
Der of commerce on the subject of
Oriental commerce from Pacific coast
standpoint. He prefaced his address by
a reference to the recent speech of
Congressman Lentz in New York as
follows:
Congressman Lentz is reported to
have said If you murder Aguinaldo
you destroy one of the heroes of the
world
II would ask Mr. Lentz how he
makes such heroism consistent with
the facts; that Aguinaldo in 1896 ac-
cepted bribe of $4,000 from the
Spanish government to leave the Phil
ippines and forsake the cause for which
Mr.. Lentz thinks he has fought for so
unselfishly; that he appropriated most
of the money to his own use and was
sued by some of his fellow patriots,
both of which are matters of recorded
history; that he refused to exchange
Lieutenant Gilmore and fellow prison
ers OF the navy when he was asked to
do so as a matter of humanity by Ad-
miral Dewey; that he permitted and ia
vored the publication of papers and
circulars that lied about America and
Americans and that he persistently mis-
Itu MS pSOplc ny lelilIlR IHefn thaI Al
miral Dewey recognized Filipino inde-
pendence when he knew that the ad-
miral had never done so in any way
whatever If all this makes a hero,
Congressman Lentz's standards can
not be those Of American people.
Aguinaldo is clever, shrewd and has
executive ability. I once sympathized
with him, but when ! had become per-
sonally acquainted with all these facts
l have mentioned, my views were cor
rected. Perhaps if Mr.. Lentz had made
study of Aguinaldo's career he might
think otherwise"
In travelling across the continent Mr..
Barrett said he found, talking with all
classes of men, an unanimity of opin-
ion in favor of carrying the war to a
successful and inevitable conclusion.
The only divergence of opinion was
found in the matter of the final dispo-
sitiOn Of the islands.

Union presents to her people equal
advantages with Montana. Nature
has done all it is possible to do to
make this the home of a happy and
contented people. Montana's noun
tains and hills are filed with all the
precious metals; all the useful miner
ais to bring wealth and prosperity to
the people are there. Her broad, roll
ing prairies, covered with the richest
of verdure that, when the sun of sum-
mer time shines upon them, furnish
nutriment for tens and hundreds of
thousands of cattle and sheep, and her
millions of acres of fertile land invite
the agriculturist and horticulturist
to make their homes in our state If
all the agricultural lands in Montana
were gathered together in one body we
would have an agricultural community
as large as the state Of Iowa.
But, in addition to these natural
advantages. there is no state that can
boast of a more healthful, sustaining
and exhiarating climate than Mon
tana. All enjoy health in this state.
There is no miasma, no malaria. Her
waters, pure and limpid, come from
the everlasting SHOWS on the peaks that
touch the sky. This is picture no
artist has yet portrayed; those mighty
crags, clothed with eternal snow. the
pensive valleys that lie between invit-
ing a contented, happy and rural peo-
pie.
1t is surprising 10 me that among
all these editors of Montana there
have not been developed more poets to
sing the praises of Montana 1t is true
the bard of Sour Dough has done all
that he could. While We are here sur
rounded by the creme de la creme of
the press Of the state, / want to i'm
press upon them the necessity for their

bard who sits at the end of this table
Terkes). Seriously,#I | believe there is
no people on EARTH who should be
prouder of their home state than those
living in Montana. Aside from the ma
tural resources and without patting
ourselves on the back as seeking fiat
terry, there is something in the spirit
of the people that is not met with else
where. Whenever you go out of Mon
tana and meet Montanan he greets
you in a whole-souled brotherly spirit.

for three months, during which it has
been very much exposed to the rains.
Seventy-five members of the regiment
have re-enlisted. All the Iowans par
ticipated in some Of the fighting be-
tween Malolos and San Fernando, and
not one of them was killed in battle;

contented people; more so than any
other | know Of Her men are ever
ready to respond to the dictates OF man
hood, to assist brother in need, to
maintain the honor of the country and
the flag"
AS an instance of this the governor
referred to the ready response last year
to the presidents call for volunteers
and to the fact that Montana's was the
first regiment mustered into the vol
unteer service. In speaking Of them
he said:
You have all followed the history of
this regiment. You know how, from
the plain of Caloocan to the hills and
mountains around San Fernando that
regiment marched and encountered all
ina ginable dangers without once show
ing the white feather They are now
on their way back, and with the good
ness of the all-wise Ruler they will be
returned to the commonwealth they
love and that loves them. This much
| have said in praise of the manhood of
the state"
Then paying tribute to the woman
hood of the state, Governor Smith
closed. He closed. saying: with such
inspiring themes as these l implore that
they (the editors) be more mindful of
the blessings that surround them in
Montana, and that they sing its praises
abroad"
The POSTMASTER next called upon
Judge c. c. Goodwin of Salt Lake, who
spoke upon The Pioneers" The distin-
guished journalist began by saying that
he was very thankful to the governor
for saying that all the speeches hat
came after his would be uninteresting.
At that time the speaker thought he
had reference to Colonel Sanders par
ticularly, but that was before the toast
master had made his speech.
Speaking about pioneers" said
Judge Goodwin, Il believe everything
good that can be said of them has al
ready been said better than can say it.
At the same time they are very dear to
us. We know from the number of them
that are passing away we won't he
making speeches here long"
The judge told a story of a commit
teeman of the salt palace celebration in
Salt Lake. A Boston man came out
there and asked this committeeman if
the salt was impervious TO the weather.
That word impervious was a sumner.

Helena, Sept. 6.--Jack Burke, brick
maker, known in Anaconda died within

Washington. Sept. 6.-After an unusu-
ally long period of peace, trouble has
again appeared in Venezuela and a
revolutionary movement is now in
progress The information has come to
the state department from an unofficial
source, but one believed to be trust
worthy. The extent of the movement
is not known here, but as there have
been for some time past rumors of dis
content it would not be surprising If
this last manifestation should prove to
be of large proportions.
