LeydS Is Confident.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The North German
Gazette this afternoon says DR.. Leyds,
diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, who
has arrived here for the celebration Of
the emperor's birthday, was received by
Count Won Buelow, minister of foreign
affairs. today.
The Lokal Anzeiger publishes the re-
port of an interview with Leyds, in which
he is quoted as saying his presence in
Berlin has nothing to do with politics,
but is due merely to an invitation to a
diplomatic dinner which he had received
from the imperial chancellor. He pro-
posed to remain some days, but had no
political designs.
Regarding mediation, Leyds said the
Beers had no occasion to appeal to any
one. Everything was going splendidly.
AS to the conclusion of peace his personal
opinion was that Great Britain would
have to return large portion of the ter
ritory she had seized from the Beers and
the federal republics would of course OBJ
tain every guarantee that not a hair Of
the heads of their kinsmen would suffer.
No words, he continued, need be wasted on
the absolute independence of the two re-
publfcs. Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kim
berley, Leyds added, were simply pris-
ons, with the sole difference that the Brit
ish had to consume their own provisions

MANY UNCERTAINTIES.
IN THE SITUATION AT WASHING.
TON-MANY OF THE WITNESSES
HAVE GONE HOME.

Special to the Inter Mountain,
washington, Jan. 27.-There are painful
uncertainties in the situation Each side
wishes some of its witnesses would die.
Some witnesses wish they were dead.
others will wish they were dead. The
rest would rather meet "a ghost than be
inter sogated by Senator Chandler.
Tn Daily people are very busy, but
they are working for wages and revenge
not Justice. Their enthusiasm is greatly
diminished by. the information from
Butte that Mr.. Hyams is general man
ager Of the Anaconda.
The Clark side is no better off. The
whole case rests on Faulkner, who rea-
Lies that the testimony so far has been
very damaging and will unseat Mr..
Clark unless all the charges can be rebuff
ted. The evidence Of honorable men like
Senator Mckay seems unimpeachable.
The prosecution still has cards up it's
sleeve. The refusal of several Daily wit
nesses to testify creates much CONNIE mt.
H. @. Collins was excused on the score
OF family Illness but the real fact is that
he bucked at the last moment and told
the lawyers he refused to testify as de-
sired. He was excused.
Tyler Worden has gone away without
testifying for some unknown reason
Other witnesses insist on telling all or
nothing and the prosecution hesitates to
put them on. The Raleigh hotel Incl
dent is playing an important part.
1T is not denied here by some men that
the question of Mr.. Daly's testifying will
be decided b. the committee unless his
evidence is voluntarily rendered. He
was out riding in New York a few days
ago. presumably in good health and spir-
it's, having largely recovered from his re-
cent accident.
Good humOr prevails between the law
yers witnesses and reporters. The bat.
tie will be resumed Monday, all parties
being reinforced and strengthened by the
five days rest.
Deep regret is expressed here by all
Montana men over the affliction Of Sena.

ALL FEEL GLOOMY.
BRITISH PEOPLE CAN NOT AC-
COUNT FOR THE LATE RE-
VERSES OF BULLER.

New York, Jan. 27.-Dispatches from
London say that the military experts,
newspapers and people in the street take
a gloomy view of the situation on the
Tugela, 1t being the general belief that
Buffers flanking movement has failed as
completely as his frontal movement Of
last month.
The idea prevails that the war office
has had news which IT is keeping from
the public and the list Of casualties which
was given out yesterday does not cover
the losses Of General Warren from "the
annoying fire" spoken Of by General
Butler.
Since the flanking movement began, ON
January 10, General Butler has reported
60 killed, $50 wounded and 60 missing. It
is remembered how his casualty list grew
from day to day after the defeat last
month. and it iSsfeared the losses OF the
past few days have been frightful.
Butler is criticized for the form of his
message, which reads as though he were
