Every Contingency ltut This Olio

Constitution.
"WAsniNTiKis, .Ian. 21.—Tho reports
of the (•(iiniuiili't' on privileges and elee
tions in tin* case of M.S.Quay, who
claims a sent in the United States sen­
ate on the strength of an appointment
from lie governor of Pennsylvania, liavo
No Intention to Provide For Tills.
"Every contingency is thus provided
for, except the sole contingency that the
legislature will fail to perform its sworn
duty. Against a contingency of this
kind the l'ramers of the Constitution did
not intend to provide."
After discussing at length the circum­
stances under which the Constitution
was framed, the majority announces its
conclusion as follows:
"We think that the fraiuers of tho
Constitution never contemplated nor in­
tended to provide for a case where a
state by its own deliberate act should
deprive its legislature of the power
to fill an entire term at its
beginning. In our opinion they never
intended to give the governor of a state
the power to fill the entire terms by
original appointment, unless possibly in
a case where rhe legislature had chosen
and the person elected had refused to
act or died before qualification. In
other works we conclude that tho power
of appointment was not to be exorcised
unless the vacancy occurred in a recess
of tlie legislature and was occasioned by
some casualty like death or resignation." I
Tlie report then quotes numerous
precedents, beginning with that of Ken
sey .Tolms of Delaware, in 1704, and
closing with the ease of Henry W. Cor-1
bett of Oregon in 18'.)S.
The minority report takes the opposite
view. Quoting Section 3, Article 1 of
the Constitution, the minority say that
the failure of the governor to call the
legislature to elect a senator does not act
to deprive the governor of the power of
appointment.
THE ROBERTS CASE.
Great Crowds Assemble to Uear tlie Ar­
guments iu tlie House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Enormous
crowds
were
present to witness the open­
ing of the debate iu the Roberts case.
Fully three-fourths of the spectators
were women. Nearly every member
was in his seat a few minutes later,
when "Mr. Taylor, (O.) chairm.au of the
special committee which investigated
the ca=e, arose from behind a desk
stacked high with legal authorities, and
manuscript, ana called up the case, and
made an argument on the lines of the
majority report. Mr. Littleton fol­
lowed with an argument for the minor­
ity view.

INCREASE OF ARMAMENT.
Kins Oscar AsUs for New Artillery, ltiflcs
and Ammunition.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 24.—In the Swedish
builget, which amounts to 150,000,000
kroner and is the largest on record,
King Oscar asks for 40 new batteries of
artillery by the end of 1903. One hun­
dred thousand new Mausers are to be
manufactured and 50,000,000 cartridges
to be in store within four years. A
credit is asked for a trial mobilization of
the army reserves.
Another important item in the budget
is the railway appropriation of 20,000,

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—William Jen-
Mr. Bryan breakfasted with ex-Gov­
ernor Hogg of Texas, W. J. Gardner,
one of the leaders of the Chicago plat­
form Democrats, and James Oliver, ser
geant-at-arms of the Democratic na­
tional committee. Mr. Bryan had a
number of callers during tho day, but
tho hotel was by no means crowded.
One of Mr. Bryan's callers asked him
what he thought of O. H. P. Belmont as
a vice presidential candidate.
"I am not saying a word about candi­
dates just now," he replied.
Adheres to tlie Chicago Platform.
A reporter asked Mr. Bryan later if
there was any truth in tho statement
in a morning paper that he was gradu­
ally abandoning the silver issue.
"I am tired of denying thoso stories,"
Mr. Bryan answered. "I will keep
right on in tho same line I have fol­
lowed all along. I have adhered to my
belief in the Chicago platform, but of
course I do not object to tin-owing in
some more issues for good measure."
Sir. Bryan was the guest of honor in
tho evening at a dinner given by O. H.
P. Belmont at his residence on Fifth
avenue. The dinner was private, no
reporters being admitted. Mr. Bryan

BERLIN,
LONDON, Jan. 24.—There is nothing
here to confirm the report on the Berlin
boerso of the defeat of General Bnller oi
the rumor on the Stock Exchange of
this city of tho capture of two British
battalions by the Boers. The fact that
General Buller was heard from during
the morning, when he sent lists of cas­
ualties to the British troops, seems to
disprove these stories.
KIMBERLEY, Sunday, Jan. 20.—The
Boers continue an active and heavy
bombardment of this place.
HEAD BOER LAAGER, Ladysmith,
Monday, Jan. 22.—Thequarters of Gen­
erals White and Hunter were smashed
by a shot from "Long Tom." It is not
known whether any of the occupants ol
the building were killed.
LONDON, Jan.' 24.—Field Marshal
Roberts reports from Cape Town that
the situation is unchanged.
VERY LITTLE PROGRESS.
British Were Evidently Only Opposed bj
Kiier Outposts.
LONDON, Jan. 24.—2:20 p. m.—Ab­
sence of news of Monday's movements
north of the Tugela river is occasioning
some additional anxiety, but General
Buller is engaged in a big operation
which will take considerable time to
work out. Even the slight, "advance of
General Warren's forces after two days
fighting does not appear to have yielded
an important advantages to the British,
as the captured kopjes were evidently
only held as advanced posts in order to
delay tho progress of the British troops
and enable the Boers to complete theii
entrenchments and to mount guns on
the position on which they have elected
to make a stand. It is remarked that
the Boers thus far, have used little ar­
tillery, from which it is judged that
their guns are already mounted on tac­
tical positions from which the British
will have to dislodge tho republicans
before reaching Ladysmith.
BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 2f». 1900.
Jan. 24.—There are rumora
on the bourse that General Buller has
Buffered defeat.
LONDON, Jan. 24.—It is reported on
the Stock Exchange that two battalions
of British troops have been captured by
the Boers.
There is no confirmation of the report
that Lord Dundonald has entered Lady­
smith, and none is expected. Experts
opine that tho Boers would only be too
glad to let him in unopposed.
Indignation and Disgust.
The indignation and disgust expressed
at the blunders aud incapacity of the
yeomanry staff, to whom is ascribable
the rank failure threatening to over­
whelm the movement started with such
a fanfare of trumpets, are increasing
daily.
Those who were able to carry the
scheme to success have been met at
every turn with red tape and all kinds
of obstacles and slights by the inner cir­
cle of titled incapables, resulting in
scores of good men withdrawing from
participation in the plans. In the case
of South Bedfordshire Yeomanry, a
whole company of 170 selected men has
disbanded in disgust.
The dispatches posted at the war of­
fice up to 3 o'clock, though dated Spear­
man's Camp, Tuesday, contain nothing
but reports of casualties. General Bui-
ning.s Bryan arrived in Jersey City from reports that tho wounded Jan. 20 in
Washington during tho morning and

good feeling all around.

Not Credited by War Office.
LONDON, Jan. 24.—The officials of th«
war office entirely discredit the Stock
Exchange stories, also the report ol
Lord Dundonald's entry into Lady
smith. They think the former rumors
were circulated for Stock Enchange pur­
poses. Tho officials said to a represen­
tative of the Associated Press that no
decisive news was expected for two or
three days relating either to the relief
of Ladysmith or a conclusive victory or
defeat as the operations at present being
conducted by General Buller were nec­
essarily of a lengthy character.

THE "NECESSARY" MAGAZINE
The best-informed men and women In the world use the AMERICAN
MONTHLY REVIEW OF REVIEWS to keep well informed, and call
it the necessary and indispensable magazine. In the busy rush
of to-day ambitious men and women must know about the important
questions of the month, and not only this, they want to know about
them at the right time. When the whole country is puzzled over the
gigantic combination of trusts, a well-informed article is printed in the
AMERICAN MONTHLY, giving the facts, and its editor discusses the
theory when the Dreyfus affair is in everyone's mouth, the best story
of Dreyfus and the great case comes out in this magazine.
Every month, in The Progress of the World," Dr. Albert Shaw
gives a comprehensive picture of the world's history during the pre­
vious thirty days. In the departments, the valuable articles and books
that have been published during the past month are reviewed and
quoted from, so that the readers of the AMERICAN MONTHLY can get
the gist of them. In every issue nearly a hundred pictures are printed,
including the portraits of the men and women who are making the
history of the month.
To be thoroughly well informed helps any man or woman in his or
her work. A subscription to the AMERICAN MONTHLY REVIEW
OF REVIEWS represents an investment for the best kind of profit, as
well as entertainment. One subscriber has just written: Count me
a life subscriber, and when you send me a number beyond the limit of
my subscription and secure no renewal from me, consider it a notice of
my death."

A Liberal Offer.
Tho Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded tho largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. As an all 'round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is tho best proof of
its ascendency.
What tlie Daily Tribune is to the city
people tlie Twiee-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of tlie peoplu of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers' Tribune,,
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm­
er's daily. It is a condensation of tho
news for the three days preceding tho
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
Tho Farmers' Tribune does not pre­
sume to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies tho place just
outside of the sphere of tho home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the liighest
value to a largo majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune lias made ar­
rangements with the publishers of The
Farmers' Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
oiler we ever made.
If you are now a subscriber for tho
Tribune we will send you The Farmers'
Tribune (twice-a-week) with your paid
in-advance renewal of subscription to
the paper. You thus get the two papers
for S1.2"). Xo stronger inducement
could be olTered.
Tho same oiler is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
oifer. It will not be continued long.
You cannot aU'ord to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub­
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
get with it The Farmers' Twice-a-Week
Tribune free.
