The Silver City Enterprise after
enumerating the charges made
against the superintendent OF the
territorial prison., Captain Arthur
Trelford, comments as follows: If
the inhuman treatment told is
merely in accordance with accept
ed rules Of prison treatment, as is
asserted by the friends of Trelford,
then there is surely something
wrong with the rules. However,
we do not believe there is any
code of discipline which will APP
prove OF hanging a man up by his
hands for seventeen days and al
lowing him Just enough rations to
keep him alive. The friends OF
Superintendent Trelford are hurt
ing his case If they are circulating
| such a report. We do not believe
inhuman treatment such as is
described above, would be tolcr-
! ated in any prison in America but
perhaps they were referring tc
Russia or Siberia. At any rate,
if those charges can be proved
conclusively, short shrift shout {
| be given Mr.. Trelford.

Cattle Loss Small.

The following clipping from the
Whitebird Independent would in
dictate that the stories Of great loes
Of cattle in this county as reported
in Lewiston and Spokane papers of
recent date were greatly exsg-
created: Will Deasy of John
Day was in the city recently in re-
ply to various questions asked him
regarding the condition of cattle
in that section, said: "Cattle in
the vicinity Of John Day and
Lucille are in good condition there
being plenty Of hay to put them
through in good shape. No cattle
nor other stock have rolled nor
frozen to death to my knowledge"
X. P. Nash, of the firm of Nash
& jones, in speaking Of the loss of
cattle, said: "Our loss thus far
this winter will not exceed one
half of one percent, we having lost
three head out Of 700 head"
F. E. Wyatt, the largest owner
Of cattle in Central Idaho, says:
"My loss will not exceed 8 per
cent"
Gill brothers, Jones & Behean,
Henry Elfers, Holt & Rhoades, G..
j.. Hall, Reed brothers, s. Del
mage and all the principale stock
men OF Salmon and Snake river
sections say the same thing, thus
showing the reports published by
the Lewiston and Spokane papers
to have been grossly exaggerated.

A very pretty party was that
given by The Elite Whist Club ct
their last meeting on st. Valen-
tines eve. Invitations were issued
to many and the regrets received
were few. The playing Of whist
consumed but q part Of the even
ing and the reading Of valentines
in verse proved the great enter
tanning feature. Upon each in
vitstion appeared the name Of
the party 10 whom come "tender",
lines were to be addressed and the
results battle description. Arriving
st . suggestively decorated hall,
the guests were ushered 10 an i'm
provised post Office and mailed
their valentine in as surreptious
q manner a. ever did the most ar
dent lover or designing neighbor.
Suffice to say the mail was on time
and the distributation rapid. A
great deal Of laughter was provoked
and como OF the weaker hearted
ones failed utterly to arise when
called upon. Upon the conclusion
Of this partners were selected for
the playing Of whist BY the gentle.
men shooting at hearts bearing
the names Of ladies. After an hour
at whist refreshments were served
and the winner Of the prize for
for the best verse was Walter
Crosby.
Entertaining, at this day and
age Of the world is fast developing
into On art and there are few more
graceful opponents in the city than
Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Richardson.
This fact was demonstrated last
Thursday evening when Mr.. and
Richardson entertained the 1900"
club ct the home Of F. D. Richard
son. The large, spacious home
had been Hastily decorated
for the occasion and presented y
very welcoming appearance. The
guests enjoyed , few hours at
cards, after which delicate refresh.
ments were served. Some very
clever piano solos by Miss Lulu
Richardson and DR.. 81. v. Riggs
added much to the enjoyment
of the evening. It was without
doubt, one Of the most pleasant
sessions Of the clubs history.
Those present were Messrs. and
Mesdames Bunnell, Riggs, Bone
brake, the Misses Nickel, Schnell,
Stevens, Nickel, and Messrs.
Cote, Harris, Wood, Nickel, Jack
and 6empert.
One Of the leading social affairs Of
the season occurred at the Armory
skating rink Monday night when
the grand masque skating tourna'
ment was held. A large number
Of msskers appeared on the floor
and furnished an unlimited amount
Of fun for the large crowd Of spec
tat0rs. Some decidedly clever cos
tunes and make.ups were in evi
dence. The gentleman's prize wal

troops was chosen, and they were re-
enforced by two colored brigades- The
whole was put under the command OF
General Alfred H. Terry. Admiral Por-
ter was to assist the land attack of
the army by an assault on the sea face
of the fort with a body of seamen.
Two thousand volunteers from the fleet
reported for this perilous duty.
On the morning of Jan. 13 the iron
clads of Porter's fleet began to engage
the fort. The monitors went close up
to the works and poured in destruc-
tive fire. In the afternoon the other
vessels of the fleet got into action, and
presently the weight of the fire was
such that the garrison could make but
a feeble reply At nightfal the fleet
hauled off, only the ironclads keeping
up a slow fire during the night. This
bombardment was kept up all next day,
and much damage was done to the
fort. 1t is asserted by prominent mill
tary and naval men of the time that
after the first attack the fort had been
strengthened greatly, re-enforced by
veteran troops and new defenses added.
Colonel Lamb, the brave leader of the
defense, who is still living at Will
mington declares that no new works
were added to the fort after the first
attack and that there were never more
than 1900 men in it at any time.
1t was arranged that the great con-
certed effort should begin on the morn
ing of the 18th. In pursuance of this
plan such a storm of shell was poured
into Fort Fisher as had never before
been seen in any naval engagement.
Before noon the signal was given for
the assaulting column of sailors and
marines to land. These men were arm
ed with old fashioned cutlasses and
pistols, and few of them knew how to
use them. They had been confined on
shipboard for months, and they looked
upon the landing in the light of a lark.
1t turned out quite differently The
garrison waited until the advancing
columns were within easy range, and
then the forts batteries were let loose
with fearful effect. Three hundred fell
almost instantly, and the remainder
beat hasty retreat down the beach.
But the fortress was doomed. 1t held
out until nightfall and then fell into
the hands of the attacking forces. The
bravery of it's garrison stands unprece-
dented in the history of similar events.
Many examples of individual heroism
are accredited to men on both sides.
The hero of the first assault was Brig
adler General Newton NJ. Curtis, who
pushed his brigade within a few hun
bred yards of the works and captured
a battery and all it's men. At the final
assault his bravery was equally con-
spicuous. His brigade led the assault
ing column, and the general was
wounded several times. Just before the
stronghold fell the fragment of a shell
destroyed his left eye.

way between the Confederate states
and the outside world. It's importance
to the Confederacy is shown by the
fact that its capture by the combined
military and naval forces under the
command of Major General Alfred H.
Terry and Rear Admiral David d. Por-
ter was followed by the loss of all the
Cape Fear river defenses and of Will
mington, the great importing depot of
the south, and put an end to further
blockade running.
It was an ideal situation for a de-
fensive stand. Nature, assisted by
some well directed engineering, had
provided a defense which made Fort
Fisher well nigh impregnable and its
reduction 4 proposition not easy of So
luton. In 1862 CoIoneF william Lamb
assumed command of the position.
Realizing the Importance of his trust,
he proceeded at once to strengthen the
works. At the time the Notifications
consisted of several detached earth
works, with a casemated battery of
sand and palmetto logs mounting four
guns. and with only one heavy gun
in the works. Colonel Lamb made up
his mind that the system of defense
was wholly inadequate. He realized
that a few we'll directed shots from a
frigate in the bay would silence his
guns.
So with the men of the garrison and

has received the knotted end of the rope
four times already, to our shame be it
said. She feels that under Mr.. Bryce she
is liable-nay; it is "a cinch,'' in my opin-
ion-that she will get another dose should
the opportunity arise.
1t is quite true, as our British friend
points out, that Mr.. Bryce stood for the
rights of the Beers as against British
encroachment, that he stands for an
unprejudiced and unjaundiced recogni-
ton of Americas good points as
against the conventional British atti-
tude of looking down upon US from a
dizzy height and that he is "pro-every-
thing that makes for progress and en-
1ightenment. But he is not anti British
in any sense unless we accept the theo-
ry held in some instances that to be
British means to despise American and
other efforts toward the achievement
of human liberty.
In politics Mr.. Bryce is an advanced
liberal. No doubt the gentleman who
wrote the foregoing letter is cocksure
Conservative. There are partisan as
perities in England as here, and one
can pardon what appears to be rath-
er excessive use of plain language.
Mr.. Bryce has stood strongly for
home rule for Ireland. He has worked
hard for the cause of popular education
throughout Great Britain. He believes
in the common people. That his atti-
tude in that respect is not that of a
demagogue may be indicated by his re-
fusal of the proffered peerage.
In his private life Mr., Bryce is said
to be genial and agreeable gentleman.
His one great recreation in his earlia-
days was mountain climbing He ha.
scaled many towering peaks. For SOM
years he was president of the Alpine
club. When he wanted a rest from his
labors he would go off into some dis
tant country and climb a peak $4,000
feet high. He thus obtained a wider
outlook upon the world. That is the
keynote of his life
With an ambassador at Washington
who knows America from center to cir
conference and from end to end, as
James Bryce knows IT, and who has
studied ancient as well as modern civ
ilizations-his holy Roman Empire
is another classic-it may be in order
to venture the opinion that the United
States and Great Britain may be able
to get together more readily on Cana
dian and other disputes than they have
been able to do under the ambassado-
rial administration of gentlemen who
follow diplomacy as a trade and whose
chief distinction lies in their titles OF
conferred nobility.
