LARGE FORCE IN THE FIELD
England's Troops Being Poured into
Africa, But Delayed in Getting
ha


to the Front.
London, (By Cable. THE remarkable
declaration Of Mr.. Wyndham, OF the War
Office, In the House of Commons, that Great
Britain will have In fortnight 1870, 900 reg
ulars in South Africa, 1000 Canadians and
Australians, and 10000 South African vol
unteers, is received with wonderment. Or
this total Of $4,000 troops, with 452 guns,
all are now there, with the exception OF
about Is, 900 that are afloat. Beyond COM
parison this is the largest force Great Brit
ain has ever put in tho field. AT the end OF
the Crimean war she had scraped together
$4,000 men. Wellington at Waterlooo had
$4,000.
The general tone of the morning papers IS
that his figures will astonish the country.
Roughly speaking, only $4,000 men are at
the front. Ten thousand others have been
lost, and ten thousand are shut up at Lady
smith.
Excluding these, there are 10000 troops
who have not yet been in action. in addition
to those at sea. Why so many electives
have not yet been engaged Is explained by
the lack Of land transportation and the or
ganization of supplies, to which Lord Rob-
erts is devoting his experience, and Lord
Kitchener his genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight OF these
masses must destroy the equilibrium which
now holds the British forces stationary
wherever they are in contact with the Boei
army.
Lack OF transportation and organization
will not explain adequately why. when gen
erals at the front request achievements,
they get them in rather small numbers.
knowledge is slowly penetrating to l on lon
that large garrisons must be kept in Cape
Colony, to hold down the Cape Dutch. who
as everyone knows, outnumber tho British
residents three to two.
Cable scraps received during the last
twelve hours do not further illuminate the
military operations. 1t is believed In some
rather trustworthy quarters that he is again
assailing the Boer lines.
A further list Of casualties published by
the War Office brings the total from the
crossing of the Tugela to tho abandonment
Of Spion Kop to 1856 officers and men.
Some unpleasant criticism Of the War
Office has been caused by the discovery that
the sights of the Lee-Enflcld carbines are
defective. Old carbines have been supplied
to the outgoing Fourth Brigade OF Cavalry.

A Strange Campaign Kit.

To find instances of the appalling
impracticability distinguishing the
formation of Great Britain's irregular
corps, it is only necessary to read the
list of the kit being taken out by the
City Of London Volunteers. The
officers of this body carry to the
plains of South Africa an air pillow,
cork mattress, canvas basin, canvas
bucket, o tin box of candles, lantern,
filter and host of other impedi.
ments that an American officer would
burn before starting OH q ten miles
march, while the men are laden down
with four pair of trousers, four pair
of shoes, three caps, pajamas, two
large Turkish towels, q filter,
clothesbrush, writing portfolio and
other domestic articles. No wonder
the British forces are not mobile.

BEcKHAM GOVERNOR.

Orders the Removal From Office of the
Adjutant General.
Frankfort, KY, Especial. EXACTLY one
hour after the death Of Mr.. Goebel J. c. w.
Beckham was sworn in as governor OF the
state, the oath being administered by S. ].
Shackelford, clerk Of the Court of Appeals.
1t had been determined to keep secret the
news of the death Of Mr.. Goebel until Mr..
Beckham should have been formally indicted
into office, and the delay was made greater
by the inability OF DR.. Mccormack to leave
the bedroom OF Mr.. Goebel and make the
proper certificate of death. Until this had
been done the Democratic attorneys were
unwilling that the oath of office should be
administered.
The ceremony took place in small room
on the same floor as that in which Mr.. Goe-
bel died, but few doors to the west of it.

NO MILEAGE FEES.
House Committee Decides Against
Roberts Claim.

House Committee Decides Against
Roberts Claim.
Washington, Especial. 1.-The House Com
mittee on Mileage rejected the claim OF
Brigham II. Roberts, of Utah, for mileage
in connection with his contest for a seat IN
the House. Mr.. Roberts put in n claim for
mileage from Salt Lake City to Washington.
1857 miles, and return, at the usual rate Of
20 cents mile each way, making total Of
s1,c3S.sO.
Mr.. Roberts was not present, and it was
understood he had gone to Chicago. Mr.
Cooper, OF Texas, moved that Mr.. Roberts
was entitled to mileage, but on tie vote-2
to 2-this failed. Chairman Barham will
report this action, which, he says, is equiva-
lent to a rejection Of the claim by the CON-
mittee.
AS result Of suggestions in the commit
tee, Mr.. Barham will confer with the Speaker
concerning the recognition of any member
who may seek to secure for Mr. Roberts the
$4,000 usually allowed in contested election
cases. This however, is not the committee
action, but is due to desire to afford op-
portunlty to bring the matter before the
House.

When it comes to talking about zone
man" towns, Briber Clark should not be
forgotten. There never was worse
lone man" town than jerome, Arizona,
where Clark makes the money with
which he bought the last legislature of
Montana and with which he expects to
buy the next one. Clar!: owns the whole
town and dictates to every business and
business man in it. He says who shall
come into the town and who shall stay
out of it, and every man who goes there
pays tribute to the Clark corruption
fund. Recently he permitted the organ
ization of a labor union there SO as to
make his play as tho laboring mans
friend stronger in Montana, but the
labor union does Clark's employees not
the least benefit, for they work for $3.50
a day just the same. None of the men
dare enter a protest if he wishes to hold
his job. 1t is no wonder Clark comes to
Montana for the purpose of trying to get
elected to something or other. Down in
Arizona he is despised even more than
in Montana, if that were possible. In
Montana he pretends to be the working
mans friend. In jerome there is no
need for him to pretend anything. He
is the whole thing there and runs things
to suit himself

United States senator, the Bee will agree
to have the speech reported and pub

Clark legislative candidates have any
reasons to give why Clark is entitled to
the support of Montana as United States
senator, the Bee will be glad to give such
reasons space in these columns. Now,
gentlemen, if there is any better reason
than the hope of Doodle for the faith
that is in you, the Bee will be glad to
publish such reason. The voters are
anxious to hear you. Now, then, who

Clark's effort to get official endorse
ment of his ticket from the Trades and
Labor Assembly of Silver Bow county
has fallen fiat. That body would have
nothing to do with him and his barrel.
1t is the same way with all reputable
organizations and individuals with whom
the briber tries to do business" There
is not labor organization in Montana
or any other state that can afford to take
up Briber Clark's cause, and the Trades
and Labor Assembly of Silver Bow
county knew it. To tie up with Clark is
to invite destruction sooner or later. The
men whom Clark bought in 1893 can tell
you that and the men he bought in 1899
can tell it to you. His political corrup-
ton fund is as so much poison. It is
sure to kill those who come under its
influence.

an act of the grossest injustice. They
should also remember that there is large
number of people, democrats, who do not
regard with pride" the record of w. A.
Clark, whose principal claim to fame is
his money and the fact that he was
kicked bodily out of the United States
senate as briber and perjurer. There
are scores of men in this county who re-
gard Clark and the methods for which
he stands as the paramount issue in this
state and they are all Independent dem
ocrats; in other words. men who like
William Jennings Bryan, place the man
above the dollar. The Clark supporters
are the men who, like the republicans,
place the dollar above the man.

DIR. Macdonald, the Englishman with

regard to the Beers and the destruction
of republics; S. d. Mccarthy, the Irish
man with Irish feelings towards his Eng
lish neighbors, and E. G. Bjorneby, the
Norwegian republican. form trio the
like of which has never been seen in days
gone by and will never succeed in the
days to come.-The Local Bribery Organ
The bribery organ is right. 1t is a
long time since three such honest citi-
zens have asked for the votes of their
fellow citizens in this county. The usual
plan has been to nominate democrats
who would sell to Clark or republicans
who would sell to Clark. The nomina-
ton of Messrs. Bjorneby, Macdonald and
Mccarthy is new departure. They are
not for sale. Clark can't buy them, and
Carter can't buy them and the Amalga-
mated Copper company can't buy them.
just what the bribery organ means by
saying that they will not succeed in the
days to come, is not quite clear. Sue
cess, as estimated by the bribery organ,
consists in getting as much as possible
of the Clark Doodle, and by that token
it is doubtless right in saying that Mac
donald, Bjorneby and Nc arthy will not
succeed. But ali three of the Independ-
ent candidates have been successful in
achieving the regard and respect of their
fellow citizens and they want to retain
it. They place good name far above
Clark Doodle, and perhaps that is the
reason the local bribery organ feels that
they will never succeed in the days to
come" And, by the way, how success
full has the genial and aristocratic Col. ;
been in pulling the Clark leg?

Cascade county voters will consider a
proposition to bond the county for
100000 to build courthouse. at the
coming election, and there seems to be
no opposition whatever to the PROPOSE
ton. Cascade county needs a court
house and they mean to have good one
while they are about it. 1t pays to have
the best, in buildings or in other things,
but there is no need for extravaganza.
A 100000 courthouse is beyond the
needs Of Flathead county, but court
house that will be credit architecture
ally and ample for the needs of the
county's business is imperatively de-
manded. It will be economy. It will be
business to vote the bonds proposed. A
few days ago, a couple Of desperate char
acters set the county jail on fire. Pro
vided the men had been locked in their
cells and the fire had not been promptly
discovered, what would the result have
been? There were ten prisoners in the
Jail. Had any of them persisted in the
flames Flathead county would have been
liable for heavy damages. The present
Jail is not safe. 1t is nothing but fire
trap and it is rank injustice if not
criminal negligence, to lock up any man
in such a building. Every citizen hav-
ing the welfare Of this county at heart
should vote Bonds, Yes" and see that
all his friends do the same thing.
