They Become che Property OF heh
Of National Reputssion.

The salt lake Tribune Of Wednesday
contained the following: For $4,000,
the properties Of the Battle Mountain
Mining company yesterday passed into
the hands Of A. J. Gilfellen, q former
treasurer OF the United States, and
Matthew vasser. the president OF the
distinguished college which bears his
name. The claims srein Lander county,
New, and there are few prospects from
which more gratifying results have
been derived. II was said by Harry
Joseph yesterday that upon the dump
are thousands of tons Of ore that would
yield at least 5 per cent copper SO in
gold and q fractional amounti in silver,
and that the group affords foundation
for one OF the biggest properties in al
Nevada. The gentlemen who purchased
the group are among the best knowr
in the East, and the people OF Utah vii
generally congratulate themselves
upon their identity with the minins
interests Of the West.

The British forces under General
Butler have succeeded in occupying
Dundee, the Beers ~retreating in good
order.
Gen. Roberts now has an army OF
200. 900 men for guarding his communi-
cations, and operating on a front viz
| tually 200 miles wide, from Fourteen
Streams to Biggersburg. Against this
army the Beers have %, 900 burghers in
the Transvaal and Natal.
kilograms from Kroonstad indicate
that Gen. French's cavalry is keeping
in touch with the Beers, but perhaps
Lord Roberts will be compelled to order
a brief halt of his main body in order
to allow the troops to r~ecuperate after
the exhausting marches of the past
week.
Conflicting reports come from MAIZE
king. A dispatch from Pretoria
announces the fall Of Mafeking andthe
cuccess OF the Beers in storming the
town, while at the London War Office
the report is scoffed at, and the claim
is made that information has been re-
ceiyed which justihes the belief that
the British relief party has reached the
town and that the Boer besiegers were
| compelled to retreat.

Census enumsrators, when they
begin work are supposed to wear
badges, and the Virginia Enterprise
advises its readers to set the dog on
any one who attempts TO take their
census without displaying his badge.
This, of course, will not apply to the
lady enumerators, who are privileged
at all times to wea badges or other
adornments, or to leave them at home
as their fancy may dictate.

Henderson Exsradited.

Silver State: On Wednesday OF last

sued extradition papers for r. Hen
derson, who is under arrest at San
Francisco on a charge of mayhem.
Henderson will be taken to Battle
Mountain for preliminary examination.
He is in a very tight place and il the
charge is pressed it is difficult to see
how he can escape State Prison. The
stories told by those who claim to
know the facts Of the case show that
the assault made by Henderson upon
Holcomb was most cowardly.

JEFFErEs Is STILL CHAMPION.
Defeats Corbesf ~ Coney Island I'm
che Tueasy-fhfrd Reund.

Contrary to expectations the contest
between JiE Iefries sndJ.J. Corbett,
before the Seaside Club 1t Coney Is
land, y. Y, on the night Of May ii
for the heavyweight championship OF
the world, proved q veritable battle
royal and the spectators received full
value for their money. While being
again defeated Corbett made many
friends for himself by the game battle
be put up, and if be succeeds in induc-
ing Jeffries to give him another chance
the fight will attract more attention In
sporting circles than the one usi closed.
Corbett had no difficulty in hitting
Jeffries, but bis blows lacked power,
and the contest soon narrowed into q
question Of endurance. In discussing
the battle Jeffries said Corbett gave
him the hardest fight he ever had in
his life, and expressed surprise at the
endurance shown by the ex-champion.
The end came with the suddenness
Of a shock. The men bad had two fierce
rallies, followed each time by long
range sparring, and were in together
again. They were both fighting last
and hard. Suddenly there was a report
OF a sharp blow and Corbett dropped.
1t needed no count to tell that Corbett's
hopes for the championship again were
in vain. The excited spectators sprang
to their feet, and for a moment there
were roars and calls. The confusion
was but momentary, however, and in
a silence that was most remarkable the
fallen fighter was carried to his corner,
Some one called for cheers for Jeffries,
bat the almost sullen crowd refused tc
give them.

Senator Clark of Montana has
given the country another exhibition
Of his ability to meet and overcome
obstacles. When the Senate com
mittee reported in favor Of declaring
his seat vacant on account of the
improper use Of money in lsecuring
his election. thai body vas up agains;
q dilemma, and action On the matter
was postponed from time to time
until q mean could be decided upon
for disposing of the case.
On Thursday, however, Mr.. CLARK
surprised the august body BY tender
ing his resignation. and at the identi-
cal time he vas addressing the Senate
in Washington. the resignation was
presented to the Acting Governor
of Montana. By some strange CO.
incidence Goversor Smith was
absent in California ct the critical
time and Lieut. Governor Spriggs
was in charge of the affairs of State.
Now Governor Smith has been one
of Clark's political enemies, being
identified With the DAILY faction.
while Lieut.-Governor Spriggs Is a
Clark adherent. When the Senator'S
resignation was presented to him.
therefore, Mr.. Spriggs saw his duty
at 9 glance. and as Acting Governor
of the State, at nee appointed Mr..
Clark as United States Senator from
Montana to succeed himself.
1t was one of the neatess political
tricks that has ever been turned il
this country. Governor Smith
hurried home as fast as steam could
convey him when he learned ol
Senator Clark's resignation, but tbs
deed zas done. and Mr.. Smith vii
have a difficult task to convince ths
DAILY faction that his absence from
the State at so critical 3 period VIC;
purely accidental.
Meanwhile Senator Clark wink
his other eye and is quietly enjoying
his triumph ove his enemies.

INDIANA wATER-SoAKED
Unuaual storms and cIoudbursis Caused
Heavy Damage. Especially at Points
Along the Wabash River


indianapolis, Ind, June 23.-One
of the heaviest rainstormsfin years
swept Indiana yesterday. The Wa.
bash river is out of its banks and
still rising. Much damage has been
done. At Wabash the water works
are broken and the city is without
water for use or fire protection. At
Treaty. six miles south, Big Four
freight train of IS cars is wrecked
in a washout.
At Fort Wayne there was a cloud
burst. The water backed over many
squares of residences. Electric lines
were stopped and barns and debris
are backed against the bridges. At
Warsaw the big city sewer, under
construction, is filled with drift.
Easements are filled with water. At
Peru there were four cloudbursts and
great damage was done. The gov
eminent gauge showed a fall of over
six inches in ten hours.
Throughout the Wabash valley there
is much damage by the high water
and as the river is still rising more
damage is feared. Crops are over
flowed and the corn will suffer, es-
pecially as nearly the entire valley
is planted, and thousands of acres of
corn will have to be replanted.

LONDON, June IS, 3 a.p.-The posi-
ton of the international forces in the
section of Northern China where 10000
men are striving to keep footing and
to succor the legations in Pekin appears
to increase in peril with every fresh
dispatch. Pekin has not been heard
from direct for fourteen days. The
last dispatch was one imploring aid.
Admiral Seymour's column of 1900 was
last heard from twelve days ago. At
that time it was surrounded midway
between Pekin and Tien Tsin. Possibly
now it has reached Pekin.
The 5000 internationalists at Tien
Tsin were hard pressed and fighting
for their lives on Thursday, and re-
lief force of less than 1000 had been
beaten back to Taku Friday. Observ-
ers on the spot think that 100, 900 men
would not be too many to grasp China
firmly.
The admiralty has received the fol-
lowing from the British rear admiral
ut Taku:
"CHE Foo, June 23.-Only one runner has
got through from Tien Tsin for five days
No information could be obtained except
that the foreign settlement had been almost
entirely destroyed and that our people were
fighting hard"

United States officials in both the Cher.
okee and Creek nations that as they
failed to make an agreement with the
Dawes commission that congress could
ratify, the department will at once put
the Curtis law into full force. 1t is
feared serious complications viii result.

POSTAL FRAUDS EcLIPsED.
Under Spanish Rule Teachers In Havana

Havana, June 23.-The postal frauds
have rather swamped the scandal ex-
listing in the university, which has
been the milking ground for some
of the best-known men in Cuba, who,
as under-professors, received $4,000 a
year each. There were ~ of these
professors and "a assistants, some of
them having no classes at all, and
others only one or two students.
Many of the professors drew other
government salaries. When this was
called to Gen. Woods attention he
Immediately inaugurated reforms,
which resulted in cutting the list
down to 46, including assistants,
which is enough, considering that
there are only $50 students. For in
stance, instruction in Greek was di-
vided into three parts. history, gram
mar and literature. 1t is now COM
bined under one professor of Greek.

ton will be made under any circum-
stances. The railroads feel that very
liberal concessions have already been
made in the way of special reduced
rates for the Kansas City convention,
and they cannot afford to carry any
body free.

The Tartars, who overthrow the ma
tive Chinese dynasty of China in 1914,
are the ruling class in China. There
are in the neighborhood of 100000
Tartars in the empire. The "Chinese
pigtail" dates from the Tartar in
vasion, when the Tartars forced the
Chinese to grow cues after the Tartar
custom as a mark of subsection.
Thousands of Chinese were killed for
refusing to plat their hair. There are,
or were until recently, less than 49,
600 foreigners permanently residents
in China.

or 10000, 900 males of that country
between 20 and As years of age should
begin their long-threatened war
against the outside "barbarians." At

than were ever before engaged against
that country simultaneously in all its
40 or so centuries of history.

South American War Cloud.

KINesToN, Jamaica, June 24.-Prom.
inent Colombians of this place say the
recent sackipg of settlements in Ecua-
dor was the work of Colombian govern
ment troops, who, not being paid, took
this step to raise funds. 1t is said to be
absurd to suppose that Colombia will
declare war against Ecuador. The
former has too much on hand already,
but Ecuador, probably sympathizing
with the Colombian regiments, sees the
opportunity of helping them by declar-
ing war against Colombia and thus
adding to her trcuble&
