BOISE, Idaho. Oct Ex-senator
Shoup has just returned from an off,
cial trip to Alaska, taken as chairman
OF the senate committee on territories,
for the purpose Of acquainting himself
with Legislative needs there.
He is radically opposed to giving
Alaska territorial form Of govern
ment at this time. He says residents
OF Alaska who would have to bear the
burden of territorial government are
strongly opposed to ii, The cost of
maintaining such a government would
be enormous and taxation would be
equivalent to confiscation.
Senator shoup will recommend the
appointment of two more Ul!ted States
judges for Alaska, with an additional
United states marshal and United
States attorney for each new court so
established He will also recommend
the appointment of mere United States
commissioners.

LONDON, oct. H.-(Copyrighted IsS'
BY Associated Press. War, 30 otter
predicted as being the inevitable ell
max TO hopeless things, has ooms al
last. and is now in full swing for the
subiectiou OF a little republic whose
military sun sets and rises az Majubaf
Hin.
Great Britain has set going machln-
cry more powerful than that which
crushed Napoleon and twice as strong
as that which gave her Egypt and the
soudan. General Sir Redvers Butler
has gone. and already Boer bullets have
sung a song Of desperate defiance,
That the next few weeks will be
marked by sharp aghting can almost be
taken for granted. That the result will
probably be for time not too favor
able to the British is also to be admit
ted. The main question Is, How long
are hOstllities to last" Ultimate Eng
lish victory is almost assured by vir-
tue OF her overwhelming strength.
A forecast OF the length and nature
OF the campaign should not be ventured
without knowledge Of the extraordi-
nary circumstances communicated 70
the Associated Press on most reliable
authority, though not hitherto printed
in ngland--namely, that General
Redvers Butler has gone to take entire
control Of the South Africa situation,
He will be as absolute as was Well
lngton, aud less hampered than was
Kitchener. Therefore, not only the con-
duct of the war lies in his discretion,
but also, virtually, the future Of all
South Africa.
Two months ago the secretary Of war,
MARQUIS OF LansdowDe, offered Butler
the command OF the projected army
corps. SIR Redvers gave point blank
refusal unless the war office would
guarantee him between sixty and sew
enty thousand men. He is quoted as
having said on that occasion: Il shall
not be handed down in history as an
other Sir George Colley." His REFER
ence was, Of course, to the defeat at
Majubah Hill.
He also said that II he We're to go It
must be on the distinct understanding
that he could select his own stan and
would be entirely uninterfered with by
the war office. His request regarding
the staff, 1t is said, was prompted by
his suspicion that Lord Wolseley would
attempt to pay off old scores by foist-
ing upon him stan officers antagonistic
to him.
Prior TO Lord Lansdowne's assent,
General Butler freely expressed his
opinion that when he had driven the
Roers into a corner. his hand might be
stayed by a peaee-loving public, or a
well-intentioned war officer. condition

he expressed 1t, his hand was mot one

The following notes are culled from

the river in the Admiral's launch and
visited San Pedro Macati. While at
the headquarters OF Gen. King the boys
stirred up a nest of insurgents, who
sent lively shower of Mausers whistl-

party hastily returned to the launch
and went full speed down the river
