ENGLISH OPINION DIVIDED.
Hay Pauncefote Treaty Causing Talks
of Our RIGHTS.

London, Dec. 23. The Times, IN an
editorial on President McKinley's de-
cision to submit the Hay-Pauncefote
canal treaty to Great Britain, re-
proaches him for shifting a danger
GUS responsibility on the British,
government, anl says:
"The president must bear the re-
sponsibility for any friction that may
ensue. The amended treaty is a
bargain to which we cannot agree and
to which no reasonable American
who takes the trou''', to reflect upon
our side of the question can expect
us to agree.
when Senator Lodge announced
that Americans expect to keep others
out of America, he knew that Eng
land is a Great North American power
and means to remain such a power.
IF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
not adopted in a form acceptable to
us, we shall quietly by our indubit-
able rights under the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty; rights which cannot be affect
ed by any action the American SEN
ate may chose to take"

the community. Every department
of the city government except the po-
lice is doing good work. I will stand
by what have said that the chief of
police could close every gambling
house and pool room in the city in a
few hours. One motive now is to
show that these places are not pro-
tected by the Tammany organization,
and further than that, to show that
a system has existed during this and
the preceding administration that can
be stopped if the police. department
can be induced to act. A commission

A REMARKABLE TRIP,
Captain Grogan Talks of His "Trav-
erse of Africa"

| erSe OF Africa"
What others during the nineteenth
century have attempted in vain a
young Englishman, now at the Shore
ham accomplished successfully, and
that was what explorers and geograph.
ers call "The Traverse of Africa" the
crossing of the dark continent from
south to north, from the Cape of
Cairo The young Englishman who
performed this most notable feat is
Captain Ewart Scott Grogan. He is in
Washington on his way to New Zea-
land, the home of his wifes relatives.
A representative of the Star saw him
at the Shoreham this morning, and
found him pleasant young mar of
boyish face and athletic build. He
said he had been in Washington about
a week, although he had been in the
United States something over five
weeks.

here SO long," he said, "but my broth

and it's officers declared incompetent
Our critics fail to realize that the
South African republic is as large as
all continental Europe. They forget
that the burghers know every foot
of this great country, can follow every
bride path with their eyes shut, can
make dash against the British
troops and then disappear as if by
magic. What would an army of
100000 men avail in Europe? It is
almost the same in South Africa.
Yet England is winning, and only one
end to the conflict is possible. The
burghers would give up now but for
the fact that they are perfectly illit-
crate, know nothing except what their
leaders tell them, and are encour-
aged by tales of great Boer victories
and frightened by stories of what
England will do to them when she
has them in her power"

as late as 1874, and is therefore only
26 years old, having, in fact, celebrat-

fact that the fire in the burning mine
at Summit Hill, which started AZ
years ago, is now under control and
it is said that the next two years will
see it's eXtinguishment.
The fire, which has consumed
about 35 acres of the finest coal land
in the anthracite coal regions has
moved westward toward the Lands
ford. Two immense drilling ma
chimes which have been constantly
probing for the fire have now honey
combed the earth to the west of the
burning portion. Culm is being poured
into these holes and a solid mass
will thus confront the fire.

Against Cashier Ramsey Of

REFUSED TO TESTIFY
In the Whiteside-Mincr Damage Suit-Chief
Justice Reviews Case at
Length.

Helena, Dec. 24.-The state su-
preme court handed down an opinion
dlsmissing proceedings commenced
several months ago seeking to have
the court review the action of Judge
Mclntire of the district court of Lewis
ana Clark county in dismissing Cash
Ter ramsey of the Union Bank and

tOdy, for refusing to testify before a
notary in the Whiteside-Miner dam
age suit. Ramsey, it will be remem-
bered was one of the several bankers
who was summoned to bring his books
belore Albert Loeb, notary public
here, to tell what he knew about mem
bers OF the legislature drawing from
the bank depository bill of large
denominations during the senatorial
night two years ago. Ramsey de-
cllned to produce his books and the
notary committed him to JAIL He was
released on writ Of habeas corpus
Ramsey applied to the supreme court
for writ of review that the action
OF the lower court might be reviewed
and his order revoked, on the ground
that he had exceeded his jurisdiction.
The court, in decision by the chief
justice, dismissed the writ because
it finds that it is not proper method
OF getting case before the court, and
the lower court had not exceeded it's
jurisdiction. The court does not
pass on the question regarding the
right of notary to commit witness
for refusing to testify He reserved
Judgment upon that proposition. The
court reviews at length the writ,
terms it's supervisory power over it
ferior courts as defined by the con-
stitution and different original pro-
ceedings, writs of mandamus, quo
Warranto injunction, certiorari and
the like, and says that while the
court may use any of these writs,
which are appropriate as aids in the
exercise of it's other powers, it may
not prevent them from their legiti-
mate uses or restrict their use to
purposes for which they were intend
ed.

Until Congress Makes Provisions for
Replacement.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The secre-
tary of war, and Quartermaster Gen.
eral Ludington today decided that
volunteers could not return from the
Philippines until Congress makes
provision for replacement. It is ex-
pected that congress will act on this
question as soon as they assemble in
January. 1t is considered unsafe to
the interests of the United States to
have less than 10000 troops in the
Philippines. 1t will be two months
after congress acts until the troops
can be relieved. There are now Co.
600 regulars and volunteers in the
Philippines. Arrangements have
been made to bring home 5000 of
them No other reduction will be
made until congress acts.
