OH TO LADYSBITH
.Reports Persist That Bullcr Is
Again uvhinr to White's
Ifi'licf,
In Spite of the Government Alle­
gations of Ignorance on the
Subject.
Durban Special Says There Was
Very Severe Fighting on
Sunday.
LONDON, Fob. 6.—Tho war OFFIOC state­
ment, that it
lins
rem veil 110 confirma­
tion of tho report that General Buller
has reerossod the Tu^ela river 1ms failed
to shake public belief that operations of
tremendous importance are proceeding
•at the Tiifjela, and it is thought that
either the denial was prompted by de­
sire, to keep the military movements as
secret as possible until something is ac­
complished or that General Buller is
keeping the home officials in the dark
pending results. It- is obviously ex­
tremely difficult to extract the truth
•from the conflicting statements shroud­
ing Buller's movement. But most
•of the commentators agree that- the ag­
gregate of the items tends to confirm the
belief that movements of importance are
•in progress.
It is true that the correspondents at
'General Buller's headquarters convey
the impression that his main force is
•still south of the Tugela river,
but it is easily conceivable that
the disj latches are so censored
as to convey a false impression. Possi­
bly, though dated Sunday and Sunday
night, the dispatches were written prior
to the movements reported to have com­
menced Friday. This has already hap­
pened on various occasions, dispatches
being retained by the censor and reflated
when actually released.
"Whatever maybe the actual situation,
'there seems no doubt that General Bul­
ler's preparations for a fresh attempt to
relieve Ladvsmith were completed
Thursday or Friday, and though the
'Start was possibly deferred from the
date first selected, it will not be long be­
fore it is definitely known that General
Buller's forces are again fighting their
way towards Ladysmith. Those, how­
ever, who expect General Buller to reach
the beleaguered town Monday night
seem to have forgotten tho presence of
the Boers. The best informed people,
•while sanguine, fully realize that a Erit
ish victory can only be achieved at a
heavy cost.
KNOW NOTHING OP IT.
tWar Ofllce Helieves Buller Has Not Be
crossed the Tugela.
LONDON, Fob. 6.—The correspondent
•of the Associated Press learns from of­
ficial sources that absolutely no confirm­
ation has been received by the war of­
fice of the report that General Buller
has reerosscd the Tugela river, and is
marcliiug on Ladysmith. On the con­
trary, according to the information of
the war office at the present moment,
there is every indication that things are
quiet at the front, and that 110 imme­
diate movement is anticipated.
Regarding the dispatch from Lady­
smith saying that Buller's guns have
been heard there, it is surmised that
some practice may have been going on
with the new batteries which have just
reached the front.
BOERS DROPPING BACK.
Roberta Kepnrts Mafeking All Well on
Jan. IT.
LONDON, Feb 6.—The war office has
received the following from Lord Rob­
erts dated Feb. 4:
"Mafeking well on Jan. 17. Trenches
extended toward enemy's big gun bat­
tery, causing it to be vacated. Enemy
now pushing back on northern, south­
ern and western sides, well out of rifle
fire. Otherwise no change in situa­
tion."
RUSHED ONE KOPJE.
^British Force at Itensburg Makes a Flauk
Movement.
RENSBUKG, Saturday, Feb. 3.—The
New Zealauders, Remington's guides,
and a squadron of Life Guards made a
sweep of several miles along the hills
adjacent to the British right flank. One
kopje occupied by Boers was rushed,
the Boers clearing out after a slight re­
sistance. One New Zealauder was
wounded. Small parties in the distance
Tetreated whenever the British ap­
peared.
FROM LADYSMITH.
Garrison Again Clieered by Hearing Gen­
eral Buller's Guns.
LADYSMITH, Feb. 4.—The garrison
was much cheered by hearing General
Buller's guns yesterday. The result of
the engagement is not known. The
Boers are again massing near Lady
gmitli. also moving another gun towards
8nrprise hill. We are quite ready for
them if they contemplate another at­
tack.
TAKEN BY THE BOERS.
Vgutu Magistracy, Zululand, Attacked on
Jan. 31.
HEAD LAAGER, Ladysmith, Feb. 2.—
With the exception of desultory shots
from "Long Tom" everything is quiet.
Boers with artillery from Yryheid
district attacked the Ngutu magistracy,
Zululand, Jan. 31, and captured the
magistrate and 11 white and 34 colored
.police, their horses, 340 rifles and much
ammunition. The prisoners were sent
to
Pretoria.
REPUBLICAN SIDE OF IT.
Governor Taylor May Make a Pulli
Statement.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 6.—Governoi
Taylor is considering the advisability oi
issuiug a formal and official statement
of his side of the present controversy in
Kentucky politics. He had a short con­
ference with W. 0. P. Breckinridge 011
the subject and will meet with his legal
advisers, Former Governor Bradley and
Judge Yost, who will be here to attend
the session of the contest board, and the
whole matter wiU bo gone over thor­
oughly.
Colonel Roger Williams said that Gov­
ernor Taylor had no communication
with his legal advisers for a week, and
for that reason had naturally refused to
talk.
"Governor Taylor will soon put his
side of the case before the public," con­
tinued Colonel Williams, "and I am
sure it \vi'! ut matters in an entirely
difl'eivn: l.^lir from what they now ap­
pear to be."
The slate troops guarding the capitol
have received their first pay. Over $12,
000 was paid out to tho soldiers.
BITTEIT LABOR STRUGGLE.
Chicago Building Trades and Contractors
Will Try Conclusions.
CHICAGO, Feb. C.—At a meeting of
the Building Trades council, labor dif­
ficulties reached what is thought to be a
crisis. The business agent of the Hod
Carriers' and Building Laborers' union
was ordered to call off men at work in
every building in Chicago where the
new rules of the building contractors
were posted. This means that 6,000
men will be ordered to strike. In ad­
dition to this number 8,000 carpenters,
it is asserted, will walk out next Satur­
day.
This action was preceded by the inde­
pendent action on the part of the Plumb­
ers' union, which called out 2,000 mem­
bers earlier in the day. A fierce strug­
gle for supremacy between employers
and employes is expected.
HOT IN BUENOS AYRES.
Nearly Three Ilundred Deaths From Sun­
stroke In Two I)uys.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—A Herald special
cable from Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
says tho most terrible heat known to tho
residents of Buenos Ayres was expe­
rienced Saturday, the mercury being
120 in the shade. There were 93 deaths
from sunstroke up to 6 o'clock, and over
100 prostrations. A bulletin from Ro
sario says that during the last 24 hours
there have been discovered 8 cases of
supposed bubonic plague.
BUENOS AYRES, Feb. C.—There were
were 219 cases of sunstroke here Sun­
day of which 184 were fatal.
MESSAGES EXCHANGED.
Camps of Buller and White In Constant
Communication.
LONDON, Feb. 0.—The Daily Tele­
graph has the following dispatch from
Spearmans Camp dated Sunday even­
ing:
"Messages are now freely exchanged
between the camps of General Buller
and General White—by night with cal­
cium lamp, by day with heliograph.
The men here are enthusiastic at the
prospect of a speedy advance under
General Buller's instructions. Avery
large supply of provisions for the be­
sieged garrison will accompany the re­
lieving force."

ville reservation. The mining town of
Republic, on the northern part of the
reservation, has armed men guarding
every trail leading from the south to
prevent the infected Indians gaining en­
trance and spreading the disease. The

reservation physician from 8 to 12 In­
dians are dying daily.

Logan's Remains at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—In a coffin, draped
with the flag under which ho was killed
in the Philippine islands, the body of
Major John A. Logan lay in state here.
A delegation of veterans of the Civil
war, who had fought under the dead
soldier's father, stood around the casket,
as those who wished to pay a last trib­
ute to the decedent filed solemnly
through Memorial hall. Later in the
day the body was taken to the train and
the journey to Youngstown, O., the
Logan home, was resumed.
Dawson Trail Open.
VICTORIA, B. C.,Feb. 6.—The steamer
Tees has arrived bringing news from
Dawson up to Jan. 30. Dawson men
report the trail open and the railway
clear and in operation. On Jan. 29 a
train wreck occurred a mile and a half
from Skaguay, in which John Phillips
was killed, and several others, all In­
dians, were injured.
Baltimore Pro-Boer Meeting.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.—Nearly 8,000 per­
sons attended an enthusiastic pro-Boer
mass meeting in Ford'6 Opera House.
The principal speakers were Congress­
men Sulzer of New York, Rhea of Ken
tacky, Lentz of Ohio, and De Armond
of Missouri, and Senator Allen of Ne­
braska.

Senator Blackburn and his party
reached here from Frankfort shortly
after noon and were met by the Demo­
cratic leaders here and the Republican
conferees. The latter then went into
private conference, and at 1 o'clock,
Lieutenant Governor Marshall sent
word to the Democrats that they would
not be ready for a joint conference until
5 o'clock.
The New National Gnard.
General Castleman, the Democratic
adjutant general, was more close
mouthed than ever concerning the form­
ation of a new national guard. The
fact that such a force may not be needed
has checked these plans, which had pro­
ceeded as far as the organization of one
battalion of the first regiment, under
Major J. F. Gregory. The men, it is
Baid, have all the equipment they need,

here, awaiting orders from the party
leaders.
Doth Sides Believed Sincere*
It is believed both sides are sincerely
trying to find a basis on which negotia­
tions for a peaceful settlement may be
conducted, but the difference between
the stands taken by the two parties is
so radical that progress is necessarily
Blew.
The events at Frankfort within
the past 24 hours have made for peace,
and an amicable adjustment of the trou­
ble
is expected. Governor Taylor's
statement that the order convening the
legislature at London has not been re­
voked, is not regarded by those who
know the the nature of the latest peace
negotiations as less ning the chances of

SOME MISUNDERSTANDING.
Democrats Thought the Whole Legislature
Would Meet at Frankfort.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 6.—There has
evidently been a decided misunderstand
ing between the leaders of the Demo­
cratic party and those of the Republi­
can party regarding the session of the
legislature to be held at London. The
Democrats state that they were given to
under stand that the session at London
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Major General,
William Woods Avcrell, the last of the would bo abandoned, and that tho legis
great cavalry leaders of the Union lature would meet here in the capitol
army, died at Bath, N. Y., aged G8. He building. Governor Taylor, who was
was one of the inventors of asphalt pav­
ing and in 1898, after 17 years of litiga­
tion, was awarded §700,000 by the appel­
late division of tho supreme court as his
share of the products of the Barber As­
phalting company.
difficult of access early in the day, an
nounces positively that the London ses­
sion will not be abandoned but declines
to say whether or not the Democratic
members of the legislature will be al­
lowed to meet in the capitol.
Adjutant General Collier would not
Bay whether or not the legislature would
be permitted to meet, but called special
attention to the fact that since Saturday
no demand had been made by the mem­
bers of the legislature for the right to
meet. He allowed it to be understood
that they would not be molested, saying
that it was ample time to decide what
to do when the demand for admission
to the grounds had been made. Hereto
fore the attitude of the military has
been that the legislature could not meet,
and that there was no need of their de­
manding to do so.
On the other hand, it is unquestiona­
bly the understanding of the Democrats
that tho legislature as a whole would
meet in the capitol building, and that
the Republican members would be re­
called from London. Acting upon this
understanding, messages were sent to
all Democratic members to return im­
mediately in order to be in readiness for
work in the morning.
On all the morning trains the Demo­
cratic members of the legislature came
pouring back into Frankfort. Messages
were sent them telling them the next
session of the legislature would be held
in this city, and urging them to return
at once. It is expected that by after­
noon all of them will have returned, ex­
cept a few who will remain in Louis­
ville for the pnrpose of attending some
conferences.

LOCTSVILT,E, Feb. 6.—Up to noon the
Democrats bad not definitely decided
upon their plans for the immediate fu
ture, either as to Governor Beckham
or tho legislature. An important con
ference is to be held which is likely to
go far in determining the course of
events and the policy of both sides. At.
this conference, it is stated Lieutenant
Governor John Marshall, Attorney Fair- wmi
leigh and probably Attorney Augustus
E. Willson will represent the Eepubli

Beckham, Speaker Trimble, ex-Governor

A Liberal Offer.
The Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is tho
Minneapolis Tribune. As an all 'round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is the best proof of
its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the city
people the Twice-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune,
is to that great majority of the people 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. 11 is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers' Tribune does not pre­
sume to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside of the sphere of the home paper,
and in this capacity it is of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest.
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar­
rangements with the publishers of The
Farmers' Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer 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 S1.25. No stronger inducement
could be offered.
The same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage of this
offer. It will not be continued long.
You cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in your sub­
scription to the Bismarck Tribune and
