CLEARING WAY FOR SERIOUS PART

state department. can influence the ne
gotiations now about to begin at
Pekin between the ministers and Chi
nese plenipotentiaries on the basis of
the agreement just signed, it will seek
to clear the way Of all minor matters,
and of points upon which there is no
disagreement whatever between the
allies before undertaking solution of
the difficult problems involved in the
settlement of the questions of indem-
nifty, guarantees and commercial
treaties
1t is fully expected that the Chinese
representatives will offer opposition
to almost every point in order to Sc
cure more favorable terms, such as an
understanding to dismantle instead of
destroying the Chinese forts between
Taku and Pekin.

Members Struggle with Bill Re.
vising and Codifying
Postal Laws.

Washington, Jan. 17-This was an
excitingly dull day in the house. The
entire day was spent upon the bill to
revise and codify the postal laws,
which is to be the continuing order,
not, however, to interfere with ap-
preparation bills or conferences, until
disposed of.
It is a bill Of 221 pages and is simp-
ly Erevision of the existing laws.
Some disposition was manifested to
inject into the measure some amend
ments to the present law to the inter-
est of. certain classes of mail en-
ployes, hut such attempt were sue
cessfully resisted.
Just before the house adjourned,
when no quorum was present, Smith
of Michigan offered an amendment to
increase the pay of letter carriers of
the first, second, third and fourth
classes, respectively, to 81, 900, 81, 900,
$500, and 5000. The amendment was
defeated on rising vote, SO to SO, but
Smith made the point of no quorum
and final vote on the amendment
went over.
Ninty- three pages of the bill were
completed today

Decision.

Washington, Jan. 17-Senator Han
mas agreement to withdraw the sub
sidy bill from consideration in the SEN
ate was the chief reason for calling a
senate caucus tomorrow.
Senator Hanna had begun to "get
his mad up" and even his republican
colleagues, who favor the subsidy leg
islation could not control him in his
denunciatioI of certain other 1epubli-
can colleagues, who, in his opinion.
ought to be outspoken for the bill and
Of the democratic members, who are
opposing it against what he says is to
the best interests Of the country. A
breach was forming which threatened
serious damage to republican interests
and hence the caucus call.
Senator Hanna has agreed to sub
nit the whole subsidy question to the
caucus Judgment and to abide by the
result, provided the discussion is free
and fair and is all that either side
could ask.

TORTURED BY F|ENDs
Aged Martin Reich's Frightful
Experience with Brutal
Robbers.

Shamokin, Pa. Jan. 17-Martin
Reich aged 81, who lived alone in his
home here was the victim of brutal
assault by masked burglars early this
morning who subjected Reich to
frightful torture to induce him to tell
them where his valuables were hidden.
The burglars, five in number, over
powered the old man and applied a
red hot poker to his body and feet un-
til he finally told them where the
money could be found This amount
ed 10 $133. 60. After dividing the
money among them, the burglars
pounded Reich and kicked him until

their escape.

WANTS THEIR HELP
Lord Roberts Asks Prompt Re-
sponses to Call for
Ye0men.

London, Jan. 17-Lord Roberts was
entertained privately this evening by
the United Service club, the guests
including Prince of Wales, Duke Of
York, Duke of Cambridge and some
800 officers, and has issued from the
war Office stirring appeal for prompt
response to the call for 5000 yeo-
lnanry, whose past services in Dutch
Africa he highly commends to the
gratitude Of the nation.
The papers continue to hold hope
full view of the South African problem
but they seem to realize chat energetic
action is necessary. The application
of martial law IN Cape Colony and
collection of the inhabitants of the
two republics into camps and placing
Oh short rations those whose husbands
do not surrender show that there is
much work yet to be done.
IL is supposed Lord Kitchener is col
lect .ng his forces for final effort to
crush or capture the commanders on
the tactics which caused the surrender
of General Cronje and General Prinz-
loo. 1t is alleged that the Beers, who
are concentrating at Carolina and
Ermlies, are preparing to descend into
Natal. Reports from the disturbed
districts yesterday show the Beers
have released 294 British, who were
captured at Helvetia and Belfast.
The facts Of the capture at Helvetia
have not yet been allowed to transpire.
It is said that heavy guns will be
landed at Capetown. Information as
to the doings of the invaders is hard
to get.

powers preserve united front in oppo-
sition to any change of the conditions
laid down in the agreement and notify
the Chinese that no further changes
are to be permitted and that the points
are not even subject to discussion, the
way will soon be cleared for con-
sideration of the other topics upon
which it is feared the powers them
selves will find great difficulty in COM
ing together. Still if it should come
to pass that an agreement is impossi-
BILE upon the important matter Of
commercial treaties, for instance, and
dissolution of the concert of the pow
ers should follow, according to the
programme above outlined there will
have to be at least some substantial
achievement, for it is part of the pur-
pose to have the points adjusted re-
garded as beyond reconsideration as
they are settled, and therefore as bind
ing upon the principals.

RECOVERING RAPIDLY.
Presidents Condition No Longer Regarded
As Serious.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE presi-
dents progress toward recovery from
his attack Of grippe has been uninter-
rupted and it is now probable that,
acting upon the advice of DR.. Hickey,
his physician, the official receptions
which were announced for the winter,
as we'll as the cabinet dinners, will be
cancelled.
One or two of the official dinners
may be given later in the season, but
it would be -imprudent for the presi-
dent to undergo the fatigue Of q long
reception for some considerable time.
No definite conclusion, however, has
been as yet reached at the white house
as to which, if any, of the formal func-
tions will be given.

CULLOM'S CLEAR FIELD.
Other Candidates for Senate Withdraw
from Race.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE con-
test among Illinois republican candi-
dates for the United States senate
came to an unexpected close about
noon today by the announcement that
former Governor Tanner and Messrs.
Cannon, Hit and Prince had with
drawn from the race leaving present
United States Senator Cullom a walk
over.
The announcement of Governor Tan
ner's withdrawal came first and was
shortly followed by announcements
from the other candidates. The exact
causes that led Senator Cullom s op-
ponents to leave him a clear field are
not announced, further than that all
candidates and their friends, after
several conferences, agreed that it
would be difficult, if not impossible,
to defeat Senator Cullom and it would
be to the interest of party harmony, as
we'll as to their own interests to with
draw before the matter came to vote
before the caucus tonight.

following resolution: :" The orders

erts and Lord Kitchener Of policy

ate massacre of unarmed prisoners =
The latter clause alludes to General
Kitchener's alleged secret orders to
General DeWet's pursuers to take no
prisoners. Copies of the letters from
the unnamed British army officer con-
tanning these and other charges will
be sent by the committee to Lord Sal
isbury, Lord Roberts and others.

LOSE HEAVILY.
Beers Make Unsuccessful Attack on Col
ville's Column

Standerton, Jan. II - Colville' S
mobile column, marching from New
Denmark to Vlaklaagte, was attacked
by 1000 Beers, divided into two
forces. One force made determined
attempt OH the baggage and the other
on the cavalry constituting the rear
guard. The cavalry was compelled
to retire until protected by four COM
panies of rifles, hidden behind ridge,
who were waiting with bayonets. The
Beers then made n speedy retreat, leav-
ing several dead and wounded from
the heavy British fire Eventually
both attacks were repulsed, the Beers
losing heavily.
The British were not able to pursue
the Beers, owing to the necessity Of
protecting their baggage. Their
casualties were one killed and Is
wounded.

Grinnell, Iowa, Jan. 17-Warren
Munzel, the 1l-year-old SON of Mr..
and Mrs. L. Munzel, has been missing
since last Tuesday evening and cir
cumstances point very conclusively to
his abduction. When last seen young
Munzel was in company of a youth.
They went east and from that moment
all trace of the boy has been lost
The boy is of medium size and wore
a brown checked coat. The stranger
was almost a man in appearance and
may have been older than he looked.
The town is greatly excited and
officers are making every effort to
discover the boys whereabouts. The
sheriff today was in Boone and Mar

PROTEST AGAINST FILTH
Butte Citizen Calls Attention to
Neglected Portions Of the Car
uival CITY,

Editor Inter Mountain: AS we are
soon to have a carnival and all wish our
city to appear to it's best advantage,
would it not be a good step to have
the f1fthiest walk in the city cleaned of
It's rubbish for carnival week at least?
Look at the walk in the heart of our
thriving and growing city that covers
the distance between Dorais' grocery
corner and extends to Broadway on
Arizona street? The filth. dirt and
stencil makes all the clean dogs take the
other side and Chinese alley in Butte
is a paradise in comparison. Also the
street joining south of Lavells barn and
transfer stables have old discarded
wagons enough to fill the largest junk
yards in the city
These things with many others should
be looked after. Some of the alleys
in Butte have not been cleaned of their
last winters filth to date. and may
never be unless some person is notified.
One for the welfare of Greater Butte.
Clean the city! JAS. screen.

attention to the picnickers. Charles
Wedlake was chairman of the picnic
committee and was ably assisted by an
efficient corps of committeeman. A
game of baseball between the teams o.
Meaderville and Twin Bridges was
played and furnished entertainment to
a large crowd that sat around on the
grass and cheered the energetic batting
of the ambitious players. The game re-
suited in a victory for Meadvile, the
score standing Is to 5 at the conclusion
Of the game.
No gambling was allowed, officers of
Madison being on hand determined to
arrest all who violated the law against
gambling. A horse race was one Of the
attractions of the picnic. Two heats Of
the race We're run, the first heat being
a dead one. The excitement of the race
stirred up the sporting spirit of the
crowd and the last train for Butte was
delayed at the picnic grounds so late
that it was o'clock in the morning be-
fore it pulled into the Butte station. ~
