A Candid Statement Prom Mr.. Martin.
The following statement of Hon. f.
w. Martin ia self ex planatory and needs
no comment:
To the Custer Chronicle:
My attention has been called to an
article in the Lead City Call or August
70th, in which it is stated that COM
rhittse from four labor unions waited up
on me in 1894, and that I made them
the following statement: "Your scale
Of wages is too hishl You are blind
to your own interests. you keep your
hands off and let US reduce wages to
Sl.75 per day, there will be more work
for twice a many men. $l,75 is enough
for any working man to receive" and,
in later edition of the same paper ]
notice the following sentence has been
added the foregoing: about the only
difference would be that they would
not have SO much money to throw over
the bar for whiskey."
Mhst of the campaign stories erianate
from the councils Of that paper are SO
gross and improbable as not TO deceive
anyone, whether personally acquainted
with me or not. This article, however,
charges me directly with making GER
tain subject, and tleniters of labor
Unions are entitled to know the truth
about it. I never made any such state.

the time stated, or at any time.
never entertalned views bf the kind at
ttibuted to me in that article. Dur.
ing the past twenty years l have en-
ployed numerous miners in, think
every year, and hsye always been glad
to pay the full miners wages. 1t has
always been my custom to pay full days
wages for the tihte Of laboring men sub.
poened as witnesses, instead of the in
significant allowance made in the statute
1t Is greatly to the credit of the Black
Hills county, that the wages of the Ia
boring men haya been kept so high, and
I sincerely hope they may never be re-
dnced.
| The other statements Of the article re
ferred to are absurd and are likewise
wholly false. Very Truly,

EnxIand's Gloomy Outlook.

London, Jan. lit is strange to note
that as the new year dawns for Grea.
Britain the greatest army she ever put in
the field remains passive in South Africa,
held at bay by two of the smallest repub-
lies on the face of the earth. while at
home, in spite Of the large volume OF trade
and apparent prosperity, her financial in
terests are in a state OF instability not
seen since the Barring crash. All Europe
is yelping at her heels, and the necessity
for Americas friendship is recognized on
all sides. Papers and people that for
years have been ready with jibe for
Americas good will no longer make any
attempt to belittle the desirabiity OF Sc
curing her friendship.
America" says the Globe, usually hui
morous at the expense of all things trans
Atlantic, with crop OF 542,O0O,O0O
bushels of wheat, is especially in posi-
ton to help us"
The economic shoe already begins to
pinch the military foot Not very seri-
ously, but enough to suggest grave cogi-
tations as to what would happen if Great
Britain would war with a great power.
The fact that the government has char
tered so many transports has resulted in
a rise in the price of bread, while coal is
rising by leaps and bounds TO famine
prices. 1t is such unpleasant results as
these that silence the scoffer at things
American and induce such a yitupera-
tive publication as the Saturday Review
to say: "The Americans have had their
eyes open as to- the possibilities of for
eign policy and are taking sounder, be-
sides a cooler view, of the situation They
are not less friendly to us than before,
but the insincere element has been elimi-
mated and has left a reliable substratum
of good WILL which confederation the
Saturday Review under different circum-
stances would have construed into damn
ing evidence Of the insincerity of Ameri-
can friendship.
1t must not be inferred that this view
is held by many of the sincere English
friends of America, who now point to
what they are pleased to term its great
friendliness as proof of what they have
always maintained.
With such a serious outlook for the
coming year, it is hardly surprising that
articles appear under the heading "Aro
We Decadent?' and similar strains. On
the other hand, there is still a small Sec
ton of the press and public which de-
votes its energies to senselessly abusing
the Beers and predicting the speedy en-
try of the British into Pretoria.

RUSSIA VERSUS ENGLAND
STARTLING STATEMENTS MADE
Threatens Occupation of Herat II
the British Take over De1agoa
Bay-May Lead to Another War
Secret Treaty Between England
and Germany.

New York, Dec. 30.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The announcement of the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger that under the secret stipula-
lions of the treaty, Germany will take Por
tugals Asiatic colonies and the territory
north of Zambesi, and that England will
take Delagoa bay, is the most startling
news of the day. The authority is not Of
fetal, and the statement of the concerted
action OF the two powers against French
and Russian occupation must be accepted
firms it. The alleged payment of 25,00o,-
600 marks for Germany's share in this
territorial trade also seems doubtful. Some
disclosure of this kind has been expected
in diplomatic circles for several weeks,
since the necessity for shutting off the
supplies of arms and ammunition for the
Transvaal has become apparent with the
prolongation OF the war.
While the Russian press forecasts the
occupation of Herat as the first conse-
quence of their occupation Of Delagoa bay,
the French journals are curious to know
what the Washington government will do
regarding the seizure of American vessels
by the British navy. Whatever the action
may be, the reports that Mr.. Choate has
interviewed in the matter are premature
and unfounded.
The British prize courts will, without
doubt, be allowed to do their work precise
ly as the American prize courts operated
during the war with Spain The questions
of contraband of war and neutral rights
will be argued in due course. Russian and
French rumors that all neutral powers
will intervene if England takes effective
measures for cloing the back door against
the entrance of contraband of war into the
Transvaal are colored by the general be-
lief that there is secret agreement with
Germany relating to any emergency which
may arise on the east coast.

Suffering From Paresis.

New York, Dec. 30-A special to the
World from Boston says:
Congressman Boutelle is now in the hos
pital for the insane at Waverley, seven
miles out of Boston. When he was brought
to Boston last Monday night it was the
intention of the attending doctors to place
him in the Claiming sanitarium at Brook
line, private institution. He was refused
admittance there, the inference being that
his case was more desperate. one than
the management cared to be responsible
for. From thoroughly reliable source il
was reported that the congressman is suf.
fering from psresis.

Worlds Big Boats.

The English marine publication the
syren, says: I'VE British pride our
selves that the aggregate tonnage OF
British ships approximates to the total
merchant tonnage owned by the re-
naming maritime countries Of the
world, but there is another phase of the
matter where a comparison with other
nations places us In a position other
than first. 1t appears we have only
eieven vessels Of over 10000 gross tons
headed by the Oceanic, with her H.
ooo tons. But Germany has twenty
tnree vessels In that category. The
United States is the only other nation
with vessels above 10000 tons, and she
mas four. The biggest ship owned by
france Is 1898 tons, while Norway's
greatest ship is of 1927 tons gross. In
speed Great Britain is right ahead Of
her competitors, having thirty-one YES
seis with speed of twenty knots or
more; Belgium has six, the United
o'a'es four. Germany and Holland
enree each, France two and Russia one.

Spokanes Won.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 3.-The Spokane
high school football team are champions
OF Washington. After defeating every
team in eastern Washington that would
play them, they came to Tacoma and de-
feated, by score of 5 to 0, the Tacoma
high school eleven, the victors of western
Washington in their class. Fine team
work characterized the playing OF the Spo-
kane boys and won their victory. With
the state championship in the balance,
both teams played fair, hard game, and
both are eminently satisfied with the re-
suit. Spokane's thorough practice work
for three months past, under Coach Hol-
zell, had put the team in splendid shape,
and though the local team played desper-
ately, they were slowly but surely beaten
down. No one was injured on either side.
Spokane's victorious eleven will return
home with colors flying high.

Dutch Regiment From Iowa.

Chicago, Jan "A special from Orange
City, Ia, says;
An entire regiment of soldiers is said to
be en- route from the Dutch colony in this
(Sioux) county to join the Beers in the
Transvaal. If seemingly well authenticat-
ed accounts are to be believed, the organ
izers OF the force are shipping the men
out three or four at time by different
routes. The money to hire and equip
them was all raised in or near Orange City
and Sioux Center. DriInng has been IN
progress in remote parts of the county for
some time. 1t is said only picked men
have been accepted.
