afternoon the ~can.onading became excit-
lhgly Disk and under cover Of their in
lantry they advanced in three lines to
ascend a row of kopjes which they occu-
pied at nightfall, but later they retired to
their old position. During the night a
score OF shells were fired by the British
n a balloon was sent up to spy out the
Boer positions. The laval guns renewed
the bombardment this morning from a
new position but without result.
The three British positions are old
C~nleveley, a camp near Colenso with a
central position at Swartzkop drift,
where they hold both ba of the river
a point higher up in the direction of
Aunckles. where they have bridged the
river and established an immense COM
missariat. On the summit the terraces
at Swartzkop they have placed five naval
guns and have brought field artillery
across the river to a small kopje on the
northern bank whence they keep up an
1ncessant and terrific cannonade on the
Boer trenches. Since the beginning of
the week communication with different
positions has been kept UP under the or
deal OF this c~a1onnade, the casualties
resulting from this being heavier than
those occurring at C~olenso. One of the
smells from the naval guns killed a father

Union Printers and Freshmen
Against HeilbrOnner.
,T~PRECIPITATES A ROW
An Unfair Shop Lively Argument
Be-Ore Council Committee on
Printing.

The printing committee Of the city
council, Alderman Kelly, --edin n
Ferns, held a meeting this afternoon to
consider the bids for the city printing.
The occasion was one Of much spirit, and
there. were several sharp vocal passages
between employees of the Heilbronner
Printing company and the members OF
the executive committee of the Typo
graphical union. Anger was loosed and
epithets were hurled about the spacious
council chamber with reckless abandon.
but fortunately there were no personal
collisions and the affair ended without
the spilling of blood. 1t was unquestion-
ably the liveliest committee meeting held
since Mayor Mccarthy assumed the
reigns Of the city government. :,
The trouble was precipitated by protest
from the Typographical and Pressmens
unions objecting to the consideration Of
the Heilbronner bid. The protest was
as follows:
''Inasmuch as the contract for the city
printing is shortly to be awarded. we
should like to call your attention to the
fact that the Heilbronner Printing COM
pany is and has for a long time been an
unfair office. In awarding the contract
we would consider it a kindly act on your
part If you woul recognize the union
label and require it to be placed on all
printed matter used by the city. Being
an unfair office, the Charles Heilbronner
company cannot furnish this label.
Taking into consideration the fact that
the said company has been an unfair
Office and has been the cause of more or
less trouble to the printing business fou
several years past, we would earnestly
protest against the awarding of said
contract to the said company, and would
respectfully invite the attention Of your
honorable II committee to the foregoing
facts. Ms
Trusting you will favor only offices
which employ union labor and who are in
a position to furnish the union label on
city printing, we are
Respectfully yours.
BUTTE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION,
BUTTE PRESSMEN'S UNION"
The communication was from the Typo
graphical and Pressman's unions, that 1t
bore the union seals, and was entitled to
some consideration.
IF you gentlemen a Irish blood in
your veins you would have been fighting
before this remarked Alderman Ferns.
1t was decided to recommend to the
council that the contract for publication
be awarded to the Miner at 60 and SO cents
per folio.
The discussion was still in progress
when the Inter Mountain went to press.

THE RETREAT GUARDED
BY Only a Small FCrce-The Report
Tat Euler L.aS Net Ar other Re-
verse is Not Creli:ed-NeWS From
Boer Headquarters.

London, Jan. 23.-2:20 p m.-The ABB
sence of news of yesterdays movements
north of the Tugela river is occasioninG
some additional anxiety, but Butler is en-
gagged in a big operation which will take
considerable time to work out. Even the
slight advance of Warren's forces after
two days fighting does not appear to
have yielded an important advantage to
the British as the captured kOpjes were
evidently ONES held as advanced posts in
order to delay the progress of the British
troops and enable the Beers to complete
their entertainments and mount guns ON
the positions on which they have elected
to make a stand.
It is remarked that the Beers thus far
have used little artillery, from which 1T is
judged their guns are already mounted
on tactical positions from which the Brit
ish will have to dislOdge the republicans
before reaching Ladysmith.
There is no confirmation of the report
that Dundonald has entered Ladysmith
and none is expected. Experts opine
that the Beers would only be too glad to
let him in ~unopposed.
The indignation and disgust expressed
at the blunders and %incapacity of the
yeomanry staff, to whom is ascriblble the
rank failure threatening to overwhelm
the movement started with u a fam
fare Of trumpets, are increasing daily.
Those who We're able to carry the scheme
to success have been met at every turn
with red tape and all kinds Of obstacles
and Sights by the inner circle of titled in
%capables, resulting in scores Of good men
withdrawing from participation in the
plans. In the case of the South Bedford
shire yeomanry a whole company of $50
selected men has disbanded in disgust.
The dispatches posted at the war Office
up to 8 o'c.ock this afternoon though dated
Spearman's camp today contain nothing
but reports of casualties. Butler reports
that the wounded January Goth, included:
Second Lancashires: Captains bod,
Whyte, and Ormond and Lieutenant
Campbell. York and Lancaster regi-
ments: Lieutenants Halford and Duck
worth. West Surveys: Captains Bait,
(since dead)and Warden and Lieutenants
Smith and Wedd. Staff Captain Dallas.
Lord Roberts reports from Capetown to-
day that the war situation is unchanged.

WAR VETERANS.

About 100 veterans of the Spanish
American war held a meeting at Good
Templars' hall last evening and effected
the organization of a Butte branch of
the National organization. Col. c.. F..
Lloyd of the Third U. s. Cavalry who has
been appointed district commander for
Montana of the national organization,
called the meeting to order and explain
ed the objects of the organization. The
necessary papers for the complete or
ganization of the Butte branch had not
arrived. however, and Colonel Lloyd stat
ed that the organization could not be per-
fected until he had the necessary data.
1t was decided, however, to form a tenn
porary organization and open a roll of
membership. Temporary officers were
elected as follows: Chairman, John G..
Heilig; vice-chairman, James E. Weaver:
secretary, j. Vigeant: treasurer, U, s.
Bellevue; sentry, w. G.. Tucker.
The meeting then adjourned until Nom

No News Received.

London. Jan. 23.-The war expert of the
Leader writes in to-day's issue:
Not a word came from Genera Butler
yesterday good or bad. We do not think
he would have refrained from reporting
last night had he had any good news.
One thing only We know-the enemy at
length is out-matched in artillery, but his
supremacy in rifle fire seems to remain.
1t is unnecessary to make any remarks
upon the composition of the staff of the
eighth division (the latest division organ
ized) save that another guardsman is
pushed up two steps by the vicious old
system. This rule commends itself to a
secretary of state for war, most of whose
relatives are in the household troops.

through the town, but did not visit that
portion of the business district and resi-
dence district which is filled with empty
buildings on account of the company's
rule which. 1t is claimed. will be abolished
by the officers who are now here. 1t is
safely estimated that 80 per cent of the
entire division of Anaconda is W iting and
watching for such an order of things. No
changes have yet been made but they are
expected and also the removal Of several
local officers of the company.
