Residents and property holders living in
the vicinity of Fourteenth and V Streets
are much exercised over the proposition
10 build a market house. 10 be known as
the Columbia Market, on lots 1 and ?,
square 2s5- A permit was applied fer TO
erect such building by Robert Head and
Francis 2. Perciyal, but the Commission
ers met with legal difficulty In eonnec-
ton with the matter and referred the ap-
plication to their Attorney for an opinion
upon which to base their action.
The Inspector of Buildings raised the
question whether the permit could be is
sued without the consent Of the owners of
more than one-haIf Of the property 'front.'
ing on the south side Of V Street Com
missioner Beach recommended that the At
torney'e opinion be secured on this point
before proceeding further.
Today the matter took another turn,
when prominent resident of Street.
and property holder there, called on
Commissioner NacfarIand. requesting
that action on the application of Head
& PerciraI be deferred until the people
CT the locality could be heard from. Mr.
Macfarland was informed that a petition
would be presented to the Commissioners
against the project, and that the COM
nunity Was very much opposed to the
building of a market house in that To-
cality. They thought it would be not
only a cause of annoyance to the neigh
borhood, but would be the means OF de-
pTeeiating property and giving to The
square upon which the market house
would stand & reputation which would
drive reputable tenants from the houses
which they now occupy.
Commissioner Mcfarland was reminded
that the market houses OF the city at
tract large crowds, especially on the
mornings, afternoons and evenings on
which they are open. These crowd the
! sidewalks, and are more or less noisy
while about the market houses much noise
and confusion constantly centres. The
Commissioners callers thought they
might be able to make such a presentation
of the case as would induce the Board to
withhold its consent to granting the per-
nit asked for.

L 3. Cutler. Superintendent of the Mu-
nieipal Lodging House, has submitted TO
the Commissioners q statement to the ef-
feet that he finds trouble IN retaining the
services of a good man as Waterman for
the reason that the compensation given
is only $50 q month He states that
good man can generally secure a position
somewhere else at better wages, and
leaves Just about the time he learns to be
useful about the lodging house. Mr. Cut
Ter suggests that the position OF watch
man be changed to that Of clerk and the
compensation increased from $50 TO $50 a
month. Mr.. Cutler thinks that a good
man may be secured for the place at $50
a month, and retained in service, so as TO
avoid constant change and the trouble OF
teaching new men constantly In the duties
required.

Butler Will Make Another
Attempt at Relief
OF GEN. WHITES FORCES
Very Serious Fighting IS Ex-

Within the Next

THE PLAN OF THE CAMP AIGN
Seems to be to Divide the Men Who

THE PLAN OF THE CAMP PAIGN

London, Jan. s1.-When the nation had
almost resigned itself to the fall Of Lady
smith there comes from all quarters to-
day an indication that Butler will make
another attempt to relieve the besieged
place. If Daily Nails report OF the Butler
statement that he hoped to be in Lady,
smith within a week can be implicitly re-
lied on, news Of further serious fighting
would be expected shortly. But the pa
pers are 10th to believe what the St.
James Gazette characterizes as "unwar-
rantable boasting." If true, moreover, the
war office throws cold water on the dis
patch this afternoon by issuing state
ment that it has no news confirmatory of
such a move as Buffers reported speech
indicates.
Yet today's dispatches from Ladysmith
and Capetown give strong impression
that there is something more than rumor
in all these reports. So, while all definite
opinion must await further news it does
not seem at all unlikely that another des-
perate effort will be made to succor Gen.
eral White.
A dispatch from the Associated Press
representative ait Spearman's farm dat
ed January 25th describing the fight and
retirement from Spionkop says:
I'VE filed down sadly, but in perfect or
der The Kings Royal Rifles colonel was
struck down at the moment heilograph
message ordering retirement was handed
to him. The enemy is holding thanks
giving services tonight. Surgeons who
ascended the hill were allowed to remove
our wounded. The scene at the top of
the hill was fearful and a terrible witness
to the destructiveness of the artillery. All
day our body bearers were busy carrying
down men,"

PROSECUTIONS CASE NOW ENDED

I The Clark supporters are in high spir-
its at what they claim is the weakness of
the prosecution and the absence of any
reputable witnesses, with the two repub-
lican exceptions.
Geiger made a frightful exhibition Of
himself yesterday and charged corrup-
tion on al sides. including intimations
against Governor Smith and others. He
made bitter attack upon the editor Of
the Anaconda Standard but his state
ments are withheld as matter Of profess
siopai courtesy; besides. they are proba-
bly, false.
The defense begins Friday. John r.
ToOle has not testified. General regret is
Expressed. Major Maginniss, Tom Mar
low. Barney ShaEnahan, Jim Ryan, John
Byrna and Tyler Worden are here
GOverLor Smith in an interview today
stated he would not call an extra sessi IN
Of the legislature in the event OF a va
'cancy. He says he is not here on publ. C

Mafeking Not Relieved.

New York, Jan. 31.-The dispatch from
Capetown which quotes General Butler
as saying he hoped to be in Ladysmith
in a week, is discredited in London. The
report of fighting at Crocodile pool dis
poses of the rumor that the British had
relieved Mafeking. There is no great en-
thusiasm in London over the expected
invasion Of the Orange Free State by a
third British army, for it rs considered
likely that the Beers have planned good
defense Colonel Villebois- Mareuil, the
French strategist, has started for Coles
burg to assist in repelling the British ad-
vance. Confirmation has been received
of the report that the chief Boer shell
factory in johannesburg has been blown
up. For the present the British can do
nothing to help Ladysmith. Some ex-
perts believe that General White will try
to cut his way out. He must either do
this or surrender, for his food supply is
almost exhausted.
1t Is said that upon the fall of Lady
smith DIR. Leyds in Europe and Mon>
tague White in Washington will appeal
for mediation.
The British public seem to have totally
lost confidence in General Butler. The
next big news is expected to be furnished
by the Beers. They have doubled their
energy in the siege of Kimberley and may
be expected to close in on Ladysmith.
There rs no sign except the anxiety of
the British cabinet that any hostile DEM
onstration against England is contem.
plated. Russia and France are sure to
take advantage of Engtand's helpless
ness by grabbing the opportunity in
India. but the czar is living up to his rep
utatiOn as the foe Of war.

Special to the Inter Mountain.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-The case
against Senator Clark came to an
abrupt ending this morning. Campbell
stated he had no witnesses. Witnesses
Hill and Wright were presented for the
prosecution but the prosecution dare not
put them on the stand, fearing, doubt
less, the exposure of the Raleigh Hotel
incident and the attempt to buy testi-
mOny under the noses Of the committee.
Senator Chandler inquired If Faulkner
desired to swear Hill. A negative an
swer was returned. Chandler then stated
that owing to the unreliability of the two
men and the contradictory statements.
they had made the committee would not
examine them.
It is understood that Hill had papers
which would have proved many corrupt
efforts of the memorialists to purchase
testimony, including receipts for the same
already given.
Thus practically ended the prosecution.
General surprise was felt that many wit
nesses now here were excused. The lm-
mon belief was that the Daily side had
many cards up their sleeves, but they
evidently were blank.

New York, Jan. 31.-A special to the

says: There has been long train OF am

losses. There was no panic. The troops
retired from thesnillin good order This
morning several men were shot in re-
