RUM0R ABOUT HENNESSY'S
STREET TALK THAT CREDIT
WOULD BE STOPPED is DENIED.

The recent incorporation Of the D.. ].
Hennessy Mercantile company has given
rise to the rumor that the relations here
SO far existing between the Hennessy
company and the Anaconda and Anal
gamated companies would be somewhat
changed.
1t was said on the street that, begin
ming with the new year, no more credit
would be extended to employees Of the
Anaconda company. and that the Hen
messy company would, like other mer-
camille establishments, be obliged to
conduct business on their own merits.
This step it was rumored would be taken
because Of the retirement from active
management of Mr.. Daily n he u b
stitution of some other person by the
Rockefeller people.
Hennessy's big store was closed to-
day, but a number of the office help were
there on business matters.
George F. Barnes, who has charge of
the office, was seen late this afternoon
by an Inter Mountain representative and
denied in toto the truthfulness of the
story.
Mr.. Barnes said that the same system
of credits and paying of mine employees
would prevail in the future as in the
past, with but n slight exception, and
that related to signatures, and was only
a matter of detail.
Mr.. Barnes was very positive in his
statements.

All the political parties agree that a
renewal OF the modus vivendi for another

The fear that Newfoundland would
refuse to renew the modus vivendi has
oeen a bugbear in the imperial govern

mat II constituted the gravest possibility
of complications with France. Thus tho
news that the modus vivendi would be
renewed was received amid the greatest

State Commissioners Give In
tereSting Statistics.
WORK OF DETECTIVES
Report OF Shipments, Recovering OF
EStrayS, and Record of Brands
Good Showing.

The isdom of the last legislature in
enacting a new bounty law reducing the
bounty on some animals and raising it
upon others. notably wolf pups, is bear
ing fruit, according TO the report of the
state board of live stock commissioners
for the year just ending which was filed
with the governor Saturday, says the
Herald:
The report is briefer than usual, cover
ing but half a dozen pages. 1t shows that
during the year 200, 900 head of cattle were
shipped out of the state or slaughtered in
the state. This is estimated to be about
Is per cent. less than last years output.
During the year 0 ,755 estrays were re-
covered at Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City,
st. Paul and sioux City, and the proceeds
derived from their sale turned over to the
proper parties.
The report estimates the number Of
cattle shipped into the state at so, 900.
During the year 1900 brands We're re-
corded. SHIPMENTS of horses from the
state amounted to So 1000 head.
The work of the stock detectives
come in for praise. During the year
so parties were arrested for stock steal
ing. OF this number 16 were convicted,
II are awaiting trial, three have been
taken to other states to be tried, and two
jumped their bail.
The health of the cattle n horses of
the state is generally good, as shown by
the recent annual report Of State Veteri-
marian M. E. Knowles.
Concerning the working Of the new
bounty law the commissioners say that
While the stockmen find their bounty
taxes increased, the results are such
an improvement that they are willing
to stand the extra burden for a brief
time in the belief that the number of
stock destroying animals is rapidly de-
creasing. The bounty fund has increas-
ed so rapidly that it is on a cash ba sis
and the hope is expressed that there will
soon be a sufficient amount in the fund
to begin the payment of some of the old
outstanding warrants.
The report on the whole contains con-
siderable that will interest cattlemen.

New Years At White House

Washington, Jan 1.-The social season
In Washington was ushered in today with
a brilliant New Years reception at the
white house at which President and Mrs.
Mckinley received congratulations and
we'll wishes of several thousand, includ-
ing representatives of foreign govern
ments, ~jurists, statesmen, officers of the
army and the navy and Others eminent
in the social and political life of the capt.
tai. The sun was bright, the air crisp
and frosty. in fact it was an ideal day
for New Years functions. The full ma
rine band in red uniforms were present
and throughout the reception played pa
triUtic airs.

A Battle Expected.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The new
wear opened gloomily for England, with a
record o characterization and disaster in
South Africa to be retrieved at great
loss of life and treasure and with the rep
utatians of generals in the field and of
ministers at home hanging upon the issue
Of battle during the next few weeks.
There is no lack Of criticism n fault
| finding in the press and there are signs of
anxiety in ministerial circles over the
! political effects of additional reverses to
British arms. but there is also a hopeful
feeling induced by fresh proofs of the in
capacity Of the Dutch allies to make use
Of their opportunities. The BOer vic
tories of Stormberg, Magersfonetin and
Colenso have not been followed up in any
instance. There have been no successful
raids on the lines of communication and
Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking
nave not been overwhelmed by superior
numbers inc guns. There is a record Of
Boer failures as well as British defeats.
The budget of news received at mid
night was a light one. The arrival of a
Cape steamer has brought a large mail
and all the morning journals print let
ters from their special correspondents.
The most interesting letters are those
published in the Standard, the Times and
other journals from Ladysmith in which
incidents of the siege and garrison life are
described.
The writer's are wisely reticent on inn
pOrtaht points and deal lightly with the
dangers of the situation. but there is lit
tie doubt that the garrison has been short
of ammunition and the knowledge of this
fact has influenced Gen. Butler in sacri-
ficing his original plan Of campaign and
massing his forces for the relief of Lady
smith, He is still calling in reinforce
ments. for the Majestic has gone to Dur
ban with another battalion and numerous
drafts.
Indications still point to a battle at the
end OF this week although there may be
delays through a mule transport service
which General Butler is evidently organ
izing on a large scale. The Tugela is re-
ported in food from the heavy rains and
the passage OF the river will be most diff
ficult. ,s' g
News from the western border Is mea-
ger. There are belated %ccounts of gun
practice by the naval brigade at Modder
river which Is constantly improving. One
disptech describes the havoc made by a
naval gun which had found the range of
the main source OF the water supply of
the Boer camp.
British accounts OF Baden-Powell's sor-
tie cannot be expected for several days.
The Boer official dispatches stating that
two we'll known British officers. one of
them a son of the prime minister. We're
wounded. have caused much anxiety in
the world of wealth and fashion

Lord Methuen's situation was unchanged
but that the Beers had retired to Coles
