GERMANY AND KRUGER.
Chancellor Won Buelow Explains Em-
perOr's Failure to Receive
Famous BOer.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE imperial chan.
cellor, Count Won Buelow, replying In
the reichstag to a question on the
subject of Mr.. hruger's failure to be
received by Emperor William, said the
government did all in its power 10
ward off war and left the two repub-
lies in no doubt as to the state of
affairs in Europe and as to German
neutrality. When, in 1899, the qrfes-
ton of arbitration seemed not alto-
gether excluded, the government rec
commended it to Mr.. Kruger. He
thought the time had not yet come.
When Mr.. Kruger, later, sought in
tervention, his feelings were too high
ly inflated for the Dutch and German
governments. For the German gov
eminent it was lost time to give I'D
vice. Germany was convinced that
any step of great power at that
moment would be critical and lead
to no result. There was no use for
us" said the chancellor, "to pinch our
fingers between the door and she
hinge" The chancellor added that
when the suggestion of mediation
was made to Great Britain by the
United States in quite gently-word-
ed inquiry, it was rejected officially
and categorically. Intervention might
have led to war.
The chancellor described the reply
of M. Delcasse, the French minister
of foreign affairs, to Mr.. Kruger as:
France will in no case take the IN
itiative, but would not oppose it
when certain eventualities became
known, provided they are calculated
to serve French interests" The chan
eellor thereupon remarked that he
could not have dealt with the situa-
ton better himself. Ovations to Mr..
Kruger in Germany, he pointed out,
would have displaced internationalre-
lations and served no purpose of Mr..
Kruger or of Germany. Germany was
not bound to Great Britain by a hairs
breadth more than Great Britains was
bound to Germany. But to act bhe
Don Quixote against Great Britain
would be piece of folly for which
he would not be responsible.
Although the Kruger matter will
be taken up again in the reiehstag,
Count Won Buelow's speech, evident
ly prepared with great care, was so
overwhelming in its array of power
full facts that it amounted 10
sweeping victory over the entire op-
position. So far as German policies
go, the incident is closed. At all
events, this was the evident opinion
Of the reichstag when adjournment
was taken at late hour.

DEFEAT IS BITTER.
How Hays Diplomatic Victory Is
Regarded in Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 11.--It is now dawHing
upon the German press and public
that Mr.. Hay, the American score
tary of state, has secured an out2and-
out diplomatic victory in obligfng the
powers, Germany included, to Yield
to his arguments in favor of more
moderate terms in the preliminary
joint note to the Chinese peace pleh-
ipotentiaries. This clearly defined de-
feat is especially bitter here, because
Emperor William had set his heart
on imposing the the most humtlfat-
ing conditions upon the Chinese, and
thus emphasizing Germany's power
in their eyes. B.
To Prevent Friction.
London, Dec. 11.--Count Won Wal
dersee is forming an international
commission under German presi-
dent, says the Picking correspondent

monious civil administration and for
the collection Of taxes and customs,
with other duties. The Chinese rep
resentative is Ching Hin, governor Of
Peking. This action is intended to
prevent friction and to prepare the
way for the transfer of the admins
tration of the city on the return of
the Chinese court.

MISREPRESENTATION
Diplomatic Rupture Between Por-
tugal and the Netherlands.

Lisbon, Dec. S.-The minister of The
Netherlands to Portugal and the Portu-
guese minister at The Hague have left
their respective posts. 1t is believed
that a difference has arisen on the sub
ject of the exequatur to the Dutch con-
sui at Lorenzo Marques, which the
Portuguese government has with
drawn. . ~
Kings Toast Causes Trouble.
Tension between Portugal and Hol-
land appears to have been emphasized,
perhaps not altogether unintentional-
", by the peculiar warmth of King
Charles toast to Queen Victoria at the
banquet given Thursday evening at the
royal palace to Vice Admiral Sir Har-
nv Holdworth Rawson and the officers
of the British feet now in the river
Tagus, and by the telegram which the
king afterwards dispatched to Victoria,
thanking her majesty for sending the
feet and for the friendship thus dem
onstrated.
"I beg to record" telegraphed the king,
my great satisfaction at the frank and
loyal alliance uniting England and Por-
tugal."
In the course of his speech, when he
toasted Queen Victoria, the king said
among other things:
England has often shared the efforts and
glories of Portugal. Our mutual friendship
and close alliance are strengthened by his
tory and the blood shed together in causes
which have always been just"
Admiral Rawson replied that the
words of the king harmonized with the
thoughts of the government and people
of Great Britain.
Considered Very Serious.
Madrid, Dec. s.-The impartial says
it considers the rupture of relations
between Holland and Portugal to be
very serious. 1t adds that it was due
to the intrigues of Great Britain, fur
Their asserting that Portugalis now I'M
der the tutelage of Lord Salisbury.
Observers think that the speech and
telegram constitute an intimation to the
world that Portugal can count on
strong support if necessary.
VIII BE Recalled.
The Hague, Dec. s.-While it is not
denied that the minister of The Meth
erlands at Lisbon and the minister Of
Portugal here are temporarily leaving
their posts, it is semi-oficially declared
that there is no question of the minis
tiers being recalled. 1t is explained
that Count De Selin, the Portuguese
minister, is proceeding to Lisbon on a
few days visit to verbally explain the
difficulties which have arisen in con-
nection with The Netherlands consul,
Herr Pott, at Lorenzo Marques.
Says There Is No Rupture.
London, Dec. s.-"There has been
no diplomatic rupture between Hol-
land and Portugal" says the CORE
spondent of the Standard at The
Hague, "and the ministers will re-
turn to the respective courts to which
they are assigned in the course of q
few days"

ture Last Night.

John Orchard. secretary of the Montana
and North Dakota State Sunday School
association spoke at the Mountain View
Methodist church last night to a fair siz-
ed audience. His subject was That
Dreadful Boy" and he gave some good
advice to parents on the bringing up of
their boys. 1.-The boy should be controll-
ed by love and Kindness he said, land
mildly reproved of his errors. The boy
will remember that and if his environs
are right when he is receiving his home
training, the man will be right. If
there is love in the boys home he never
forgets it. Without it the usual channel
of manhood lies along a rough and rocky
road"
EIoMr. Orchard aid Butte is the only city
of it's size in the United States that has
no Y. M. C. A. He thought one should
be organized here. ,t'G#
Organization is being paid to the or
ganization of Sunday schools in morgan
lied counties in Montana. Mr.. Orchard

Sweet Grass counties and performed re-
organized work in Jefferson and park

morrow afternoon at the Baptist church

MRS. LEARY'S DIVORCE.

Kate Leary vas granted a decree of
divorce from James Leary today. Ac-
cording to the testimony of the plaintiff
the marriage of the couple took place in

shown a young man in Centerville more
attention than the law allows one that
has taken upon himself or herself the
vows of marriage responsibility.
Was the accusation true or false?"
asked the judge when TINS point in the
proceedings had been reached.
1t was false" answered the plaintiff.
Mrs. Leary said that in INK her hus-
bland had broken into the house and told
her he would finish her to a 'fare-you-
we'll" and make a pauper of her if she
dill not evoke her decision to not live
with him any longer.
