Millions eiven Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and auffering. The proprie- j
tore of Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands 'of hopeless
oases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness and all diseases of the throat,
ohest and lungs are surely cured by it.

BELIEF or K1MBEKUEY.
General Methnen Is Expected to
Arrive
There Saturday or Sunday.
London, Dec. 1. While the rumors
of the relief of Kimberley current on
the stook exchange today may be pre
mature in their literal senge, there
seems no doubt that the pressure on
the garrison has been much lightened
by General Methuen's successes and
the actual relief of the place is likely
to be a fact very soon. A clew to . the
urgent reasons which dictated General
Methuen's hurried march may be found
in Governor Milner's hint to the relief
committee at Cape Town to prepare for
the reception of 10,000 refugees, and
indicating that the garrison must have
had reasons to fear the reduction of
Kimberley by starvation and disease.
The most recent news from Kimber
ley and Mafeking are acting in concert
with General Methuen, for at the time
the battle was raging at Gras Pan, both
Colonel Kekewlch and Colonel Baden
Powell made sorties and assailed the
beleaguers. The result, from Pretoria:
Colonel Kekewick inflicted conslder
' able loss on the Boers, two shells kil
ling nine and wounding 17 in a group.
It is reported that General Methuen
resumed his northwest oourse in order
to form a junction with the Kimberley
forces Saturday or Sunday.

FiMionlata to Meet.
OREGON City, Dec. I. The chair
man of the populist, democrat and sil
ver republican county central com mi t
fcRA have each called committee meet
ing to be held in this city December 16.
It is understood that the object of the
meeting so early is to agree on . some
nlan of running a fusion or union
tuket next spring. Some populists
favor inviting the middle-of-the-road-ere
to join the combination, an J hold
one set of primaries and one conven
tion to nominate one ticket on one
platform. Two year ago the populists,
rinmno.rats and silver republican nom
inated a fusion ticket and elected about
half of the county officers, and a silver
republican to the legislature.
Trouble Ahead.
Chicago, Dec 1. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says that
inquiry among the foreign representa
tives develops the fact that the "open
door" policy of the administration has
received a check from European powers
They were asked for written assurances
that in case of a partion of China they
would maintain an "open door" policy
in their respective sphere of influence,
"If we do," they answer, "i,llvthere
also be an open door in the Philip
pines?" . This has placed the adminis
tration in a quandry and it is said
because promises of an open door policy
in the Philippines cannot be given at
the present time.

Financial Legislation.
Washington Dec 1. The white-
house, is overrun with members of
congress today, but only a very few
saw the president. Senator Piatt, of
Connecticut, who is a member of the
senate finance committee, said that
the sub-committee tomorrow would
agree upon term's of the financial bill.'
Piatt says that generally speaking the
senate bill will be an agreementon the
lines of the house bill. He thinks the
passage of a 'financial bill by both
houses a forgone conclusion.

Want to Surrender.
New York, Dec. 1. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Gen

Cayogen valley. He is in telegraphic
communication with the insurgents
over a wire in their possession, and
the commanders of the opposing forces
are considering propositions made by
telegraph, looking to the surrender of

BRITONS SUFFERED
SEVERELY
Casualties at Modder
River Over Four
Hundred
London, Dec. 3. The war office has
received the following from General
Forestier Walker:
"Cape Town, Dec. 1. General Gat-
acre reports no change in the situa
tion. General Frenih made a recon
noissance from Naauwpoort to Ros-
mead. - The troops returned today.
"General Metheun's flesh wound is
slight.' - He is remaining at Modder
river for the reconstruction of
bridges. Am reinforcing him with
Highlanders and cavalry corps.
Horse artillery, the Canadian regiment
Australian contingents and three
battalions of infantry hare moved to
the De Aar and Belmont line."
As surmised, the British dead and
wounded at the hard-fought b&ttle of
Modder river number hundreds. The
war department today gave out tne
information that the total number of
casualties was 452, and the number
killed, 72.
From' General Forester-Walker's
dispatch it is proved that all reports of
Metheun's advance after the battle of
Modder river were premature, though
with the railroad working, he should
not be long in constructing temporary
bridges. His enforced delay doubtless
rill be of considerable service in
giving his hard-pushed columd needed
rest, and in allowing the arrival of
reinforcements which he must be sore
ly in need of, after three such fights,
placing hors de combat upwards of a
thousand men out of less than 7000.

Says Be Will Not Resign Bis Position as
Chairman.
New York, Dec. 3 The World to
day published the following interview
with Senator Mark Hanna:
"If anybody thinks I am out of active
politics, let him wait till a fight starts
up and see if I will be. ' I have never
yet shirked a duty of this kind. ' Do
you think a man like me. who has gone
so far in this thing called politics, and
who has worked so faithfully for his
party, would crawl but just before an
other nnHnnal campaign when respon
sibilties ii -v.- vrown heaviest and every
leader is In honor bound to do all he
can. do for the cause? Does any body
suppose T would put myself before the
country on 6uch a proposition?
' "Now, I'll tell you about this .chair
manship of the national republican
committee. You see I am not a mem
ber of that committee; I am simply
chairman of it. - My term will not ex
pire until after I have called the na
tional convention of republicans In 1900
When that convention meets 1 shall
haye to be there as chairman of the
national committee and make my re
port. Then the convention will proceed
with its .business. After this is accom
plished the national committee will be
selected by the delegates from the
various states. . This committee will
then meet to elect a chairman. I
simply ask you, who can speak for me
at this early date and say I am out of
politic? and have declined to accept
another term as chairman of that com
mittee? It is simply folloy if a man
declines a thing before the possibility
of his Accepting or . declining it has
arisen. I certainly shall not withdraw
from the chairman of the national com
mittee before my time is up. You can
put that down as sure."

BOTH PARTIES IN CAUCUS.
Richardson Chosen for Democratic Leader
and Henderson bv the Republicans.
Washington, Dec. 3. The demo
crats of the house of representatives,
at their caucus held in the house, se
lected James D, Richardson, of Ten
nessee, as their candidate for speaker,
after a spirited contest, which lasted
through six ballots. This carries with
It the democratic leadership on the
floor. Richardson has served 14 years
in the house, and is the oldest demo
cratic member, in point of se-vice
except McRae, of Arkansas. The
candidates against Kicbardson were
De Armond of Missouri. Bankhead of
Alabama and Solzer of New York
linpresentaiive Hay. of Virginia, was
elected chairman of the caucus by
vote of 77 to 62 ca$t for McRae of Ark
ansas. It has been cus'.omary for th
oldest member in roint of service to
preside oyer the caucus, and the seleo
tijn of Uay, who has served one tvrm
wa- of unusual honor. The name of
Flortou of Ohio was also presented fo
presiding officer, but was withdrawn
The caucus of the republican mem
bers of the house last night was a cut'
and-dried affair. The selection of
candidate for speaker by the party in
power is usually a very animated af
fair; but months ago ail the other
candidates who entered the field after
the retirement of Speaker Read aban
doned the contest, leaving General
David -B. Henderson, of Iowa, the un
opposed candidate. His nomination
was therefore a foregone conclusion,
and be was nominated by acclamation
The officers of the last house, except
Colonel Russell, the sergeant-at-arms,
were renominated without opposition
Colonel Russell was not a candidate
for re-election, and Colonel Henry A.
Casson, of Wisconsin, was nominated
In his stead.

Cunningham's Third Victim.
Pendleton, Or., Dec. 2. The fu
nerai of Mrs. ouuus J. Worcester, wno
died yesterday, took place today. Mrs.
Worcester is the third victim who fell
from wounds inflicted or fright caused
by C. O. Cunningham, on September
17, 1898. Oliver Young, shot at that
time, fell dead almost instantly. A
woman against whose body Cunning
ham pressed the pistol muzzle, while
he furiously worked the trigger, re
cently died in Grant .county having
aever recove"d' from the nervous
shock. Mrs. 'Worcester, also shot a,t
that time, therefore is the third one
whose death was caused by the mur
derous Cunningham. The homicide
escaped hanging on the plea of in
sanity. Since the day of the shooting Mrs.
Worcester has hovered between life and
death, and her demise was looked for
at any time. - She was the .wife of
Julius Worcester, a mining man, who
for many years has opercted in the
Granite and Greenhorn regions.

.THE FIRST DAY
OF CONGRESS
Opening- of the Fifty-
Sixth Session of the
House.
Washington, Dec. 4. The opening
of the Fifty-sixth congress at noon to
day attracted that widespread atten
lion wnicn always attacnes to tne an-
nuar assemblage of the national law
makers. There was added interest in
the event thio year,' for' many far
reaching questions waiting 'considera
tion .;ave unusqal Importance to the
return of congress. Aside from this
the Roberts' case introduced a phase
which promised something outside of
the ordinary developments of an
opening day.'
Early in the day the throngs began
converging at the capitol. The day
was bright add propitious and the
thoroughfares leading to the building
presented a gay and animated ap
pearance. Within the building all
was bustle and excitement. Long
before the hour for calling the house
to order, the outer doors were open to
all and through these flowed con
tinuous streams of humanity until the
great corridors, galleries and rotundas
were fairly packed.
As early as 10 o'clock the conspicu
ous figures of congress began to ar
rive aud this served to give the wait
ing throngs a temporary diversion.
General Henderson went direct to the
speaker's private office, where be
shared his time with the house leaders
and with those pleading for admission
cards. Representative Richardson, of
Tennessee, the democratic house
leader, was also early on the scene,
conferring with his lieutenonts.

ANOTHER BLOODY BATTLE.
Boers Mow the British Down While At
tempting , to Cross a Bridge.
London, Dec. 4. The Daily Chron
icle publishes the following dispatch,
dated Wednesday morning, from its
correspondent at the Modder river
camp: " '
The severest engagement our col
umn has yet had and probably the
severest-of ;he whole campaign, was
fought yesterday on the banks of the
Modder river-." '-TBe"battk was" waged
fiercely for nearly 14 hours. The ene
my occupied a strongly entrenched
position, their front extending five
miles along the bank of the stream.
They were well supplied with artillery
and fought desperately.
"The battle started at daybreak, our
guns shelling the Boers' left. . - The en
emy; replied with artillery, Hotchkiss
and Maxims, and the artillery duel
lasted some hours. Then there was a
brief lull in the enemy's operations, of
which we immediately took advantage.
The infantry advanded across the plain
towards the river in two brigades.
The guards on the right were met by
an awful bail of bullets from the ene
my's sharpshooters, posted close to the
river on the opposite bank. Ours had
no cover and were simply mowed down.
It seemed impossible to live through
the terrible fire, but the brave fellows
did not retreat an inch. The Boer fire
was horribly accurate, and they most
have numbered at least 10,000.
The Scots guards advanced 600
yards before they were fired on. Then
they had to lie down to escape the
deadly fusilade which lasted without
intermission throughout the day. The
Highlanders made several attempts to
force a passage of the river, but they
were exposed to such a murderous, en
filading fire that they had to retire
after they had suffered terribly. Sub-.
sequently a party of the' guards got
over and held their own for hours
against a vastly superior force.
"The British guns kept up a heavy
fire all day and fearful havoc was
wrought on the Boer positions, the en
emy r-eing forced' to fly from their en
trenchments. Night put an end to
the terrible bloodshed. The infantry
brigade was dreadfully cut up. The
Boers retreated at night, taking their
guns with them, and we are now occu
pying their positions. The enemy's
loss was tremendous."

Big Strike Near Sampler.
STJMPTEB, Or., Dec. 4. A few days
ago, while running a crosscut in tne
main tunnel of the Last Loaf mine, op
erated by the Van Anda Mining Com'
pany, a 40 foot ledge of clean, high-
grade ore was encountered on the 250-
foot level.
On Noyember 12. In the same level,
the miners on the property pushed
through a 19-foot vein of free milling
ore. From latest reports tne leage is
widening. This places the Van Anda
Company among the big things of
Sumptercamp.
To cap the climax, however, on No

back, another claim of the Van Anda
group, finished cutting through a six
foot vein of $35 ore on the 300-foot
level. The tunnel where the crosscut
was made Is 275 feet long and Manager
Ralph Blewett has ordered drifting h

completed for the Installation of a 10

May Help Consumptives
Chicago, Den. 4. The Tribune says:
A new serum, which it is claimed
will show the presence of tuberculosis
long "before it would be possible to
detect it by the microscope, the ?-ray
or other methods now in use has been
invented by Dr. A. J. Jenkins, of this
city. He does not claim to have dis
covered a new cure, but that the use
of the serum aids competent physicians
to detect the presence of the disease in
its earliest stages, and in time to ef
fect a cure by good sanitation and
plenty of outdoor exercise. It makes
it possible to discover whether or not
a case is true consumption, no matter
how early or light the attack.
