London, Aug. 24.-The Saturday Re-

steps We're actually being taken IN

threatened tariff war With the United
tates.
I'VE understand the American inva-

There is no doubt North American
interference in South American affairs
may in the future lead TO European
activity We do not regret this, as we
have always pointed out that Europe
ought not to allow hel$elf to be ellm-
mated from South American concerns.
"It would be well if the various states
Of the southern continent would agree
to settle their own quarrels and remove
the excuse for North American inter-
ference"

"The letter suggests to Senior Palma

B0TKIN AND ARMSTRONG nECLARED STATE CHAMPIONS ON
THE BUTTE COURTS AFRER DEFEATING HILLMAN AND
CHESSMAN OF HELENA.
~ oTKIN AND ARMSTRONG,

- oTKIN AND ARMSTRONG, the
r. whirlwind team of Livingston
succeeded in winning the state
championship in the tennis doubles, j;
the tournament this morning defeating
Hillman and Chessman of Helena in q
hard-fought battle. The score was ~
8-6, ST, GA. MI
The game was witnessed by one Of the
largest crowds that has attended at any
time. The outcome of the game was ac-
ceptable, owing to the personal popu-
larity of the two Livingston men.
Neither team was quite up to it's tour
nament form, and it is possible thai
more than one game has been played
during the meet that brought out the
strongest points of the players. But al
the players are more or less foots3re
from long playing on the hard courts
and the long strain of the tournament.
However, it would be an error to say
that the game was not a good one.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-24

Nothing could be further from the
truth. All the players were on their
nerve, and played from start to finish.
Armstrong. as usual, convered the
rear end of tn court, with Botkin near
the net. chessman was the net man for
the Helena team, he being the quicker
player of the two, while Hillman COW
cred the rear court in his usual mas
terly style.
Livingston won the first set handily,
but the second lasted much longer, be-
ing won by score of 8-6.
Helena tok the third, and gave a
game fight for the fourth, holding the
victors almost even, by score of GA
Livingston, being winner of three sets,
was declared the winner.
The trophies consist of two beautiful
cups, identical in every respect, one
for each of the players. The winners
will, in all probability, be on hand to
defend their title next year, when the
tournament goes to Helena.

CRIPPLES FOR THE BRITISH ARMY

From detailed complaint which II is
alleged has been made by Lord Kitchener
to the war office it would really appear
that the last patches of imperial yeo-
manry sent out to South Africa actually
included cripples and men afflicted with
heart disease. There has been shocking
carelessness in many instances in medi-
cal examinations and general testing OF
the imperial yeomanry.
No one asserts that there were not any
thoroughly suitable men among the later
reinforcements. but it is evident that
there are many utterly hopeless cases.
and If parliament were sitting attention
would surely be drawn in the house OF
commons to the serious waste entailed
by the cost Of sending out impossible
material.

ROUSSEAU CABINET VICTORY
Possible Meeting Of the Kaiser and the
Gear Regarded in Berlin as
Significant.
(By Associated Press.)

(by Associated Press.)
Berlin, Aug. 24.-"When the French
government heard rumors Of possible
meeting of the kaiser and the czar II
made very possible effort to induce the
czar to come to France" says a govern
ment officer.
There is no doubt the acceptance OF
president Loubets invitation by the czar
is great success for the Waldeck Tous-
seau cabinet, which is now identical with
the republic.
"'We do not think the cars visit is in
any way directed against Germany. If
1t is directed against anything it is, first
and foremost, against the opponents OF
the Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet and the
adversaries Of the republic.
"'Howeved, it is not impossible the
Chauvenist elements, in order to hide
their defeat from the French people, will
try to draw the czar into some anti-Ger-
man or perhaps ntiEnglish demonstra-
tion.
But" he added with sharp emphasis,
las far as Germany is concerned, we are
persuaded that the czar will never let
himself be drawn into any anti-German
manifestation"

ONDON, Aug. 24-The capture of a
large Boer convoy Of ammunition
- and provisions is the chief feature
of the war news. The weakness of the
military guard protecting the convoy,
when supplies are scarce and cannot be
easily replaced, is fresh sign of exhaus-
ton.
The pro-Boer journals are still assert
ing that the black men will be armed and
stationed in block houses after the close
of the war. but there is no authority for
the rumor. This is only another way of
saying that the Beers never can be SUBJ
dued, for block houses will not be needed
when the last band of guerillas has been
dispersed and peace been restored.

is now described by an English journal
as purely personal affair, rather than
rupture Of diplomatic relations. The
sultan will not be humiliated by coercive

The English press is convinced by the
departure of the French Mediterranean
squadron for the Atlantic manoeuyers
that the sultan will be allowed the time
required for borrowing the amount neces-
sary to pay the French claim.

livelier theme and the attempts to
