Witnesses Cross Examined.

Washington, March 10. The cross-ex-
animation of Fred A. Martin, miner,
was continued at the Coeur d'Alene In.
vestigation today. He was closely ques-
toned by Representatives Mondell and
Dick as to his presence on the train
which carried the riotous party to Ward
ner. He maintained that he was there
by chance, and had no knowledge of or
part in the attack on the mill. He saw
some armed men and maske Omen, but
the seriousness of the situation did not
appear to him until after the mill was
blown up. At one time, he said, an un-
known man pinned a ribbon on his coat,
but there was no explanation of it's
meaning. From distance he saw the
explosions, and afterward saw one of
the men (Shayne) lying shot on the
road,

The Alaskan Boundary.

New York, March 10.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
no effort is being made to press negotia-
tions for the permanent delimitation Of
the Alaskan boundary, it is said today
that discussion of the subject is in prog
ress between the United States and
Great Britain. In answer to the British
for the establishment Of the boundary at
a point which would give the English
control of practically all the Lynn canal,
Secretary Hay recently sent an exhaust
i've memorandum, which, in the opinion
OF American officials, clearly refutes the
British claim and shows conclusively
that the waterway belongs to the United
States. The British government has not
answered this communication.
There is no doubt in the minds of off,
cials that the loyalty of Canada to Great
Britain will cause the London govern
ment to be more insistent on the claims
Of the dominion. The United States,
however, holds that the Lynn canal is
it's property, and the president has no in
tention of relinquishing it. The ultimate
determination of the controversy will
probably be reached by arbitration, the
character of which will be the stumbling
block in the negotiations.

FIGHT IN KENTUCKY
HAS BEEN AVERTED

Frankfort, March 10.-Secretary of
State Powers and Captain Davis. for
whom warrants were issued last night,
have not been arrested. They are said
to be in the executive building of the
state capitol, and soldiers guarding the
building refused to allow the police to
search for them. saying they had orders
not to admit anyone today. Governor
Taylor and Adjutant General Collier
made no answer to messages sent to
them by the police. 1t is reported Tay-
lor has issued orders for all state guards
who recognise him as governor to come
to the state house, and stirring times are
apparently not far away.
At 10:30 a. m. Sheriff Sutter took the
warrants for the arrest of Powers and
Davis to the state house, and was ad-
mitted to see Collier. He informed COL
lier that he desired to enter the execu-
tive building for the purpose of serving
the warrants. and in the name Of the
commonwealth demanded that he be
permitted to do 90. Collier refused, say

London, March 10.-Charles Williams.
the military expert of the Morning
Leader, says today:
"Gen. Frederick Carrigans staff has
been selected and the names turn out to
be those Of retired officers. Now there is
no longer any need to conceal the fact
that he is going to South Africa by ar
rangement between the government and

for, though he may be some time occupied

publics which may Nil into our hands.

1T is hoped to begin re-embarking the
bulk of the British forces in South
Africa by July l. 1t is said that General
Butler still expects to see the derby run.
but that il too good to be true. Yet
many things may happen in II or II
weeks as things are going"
This, taken in connection with Cecil
Rhodes statement that the Chartered
company would buy artillery for Kimber-
ley. shows conclusively that the company
intends to have arms and an army of
its own.

ADVANCING ON THE

sion from Natal and the assignment of
General White to command the forces
advancing from Stormberg.
White outranks all the generals in the
field except Roberts and Butler, hence it
is likely that he will be assigned to COM
mand the forces now operating below the
Orange river preparing to invade the
Free State. Warren is senior in rank to
all the other division commanders, and
his appointment was due to his own quail
ifications as a general trained in South
Africa.
The only cloud upon the horison for
British eyes is the condition of the Mafe-
king garrison. The croakers are having
much to say about it and assume that
the Boer reports of the capture of all the
forts except one are correct.

Brisk Fighting Near the
Halpmaakdr Ridge.
GEN. HUNTERS DIVISION
Engaged the Enemy Who Are
Said to be Preparing to
Retire From Big
gerSberg.

London, March 10.-The only important
change in the general situation in South
Africa indicated by the news received
up to noon today is that General Butler
is again on the move. The news comes
from the Boer camp at BiggarsberS, dat
ed Thursday. saying:
'Twelve thousand British ere threaten
ing the Boer positions from the direction
OF Helpmaakar, while party of British
scouts was encountered at Waschbank
March g."
This force was probably General Hum
ter's division. and 1t is considered quite
possible that an attempt may be made
to traverse the neck of Zululand into
the Transvaal, thus effecting the double
purpose of outflanking the Beers at Big
gardsberg and threatening Vryhead ana
Utrecht.
The Beers are reported to be at Big
garsberg in considerable numbers, but it
is said they are already sending their
stores to the rear.
General Joubert appears to have left
active service to take charge Of the war
office at Pretoria. Lorenzo Marques sto-
ries attribute his action partly to the al.
legged fact that he has lost both control
Of and confidence in the burghers, and
partly to his wish to push the prepara-
tions for the seige which are supposed to
be being made at the capital.
Lord Roberts has not reported UP to
this hour. but the military authorities
are Of the opinion that General French
must be nearing Bloemfontein. In some
quarters General French is credited with
the design to corral both presidents,
whose exact whereabouts, however, are
difficult to ascertain at this distance.
The war Office is unable to confirm the
rumors of the relief of Mafeking, but the
trend Of belief is that the relief will be
effected within few days.
