Mays Landing r.. j., March 27.-
What appears to have been a brutal
murder was brought to light to-day
by the finding of the body of Mrs John
ROch, in a strip Of woods near Estell-
vile. small town two miles from this
place
A man familarly known as "Spikey'
Jones while on his way to work found
that a tree had been felIed across the
path which he usually follows. Be
meath the tree the earth had been heap
ed in peculiar manner Jones curiosi-
ty was aroused and he commenced dig
ging in the pile of dirt. After remov-
ing few inches Of the soil he came
across the naked foot Of a woman.
Without waiting to investigate further
Jones hurried to this place and in
formed Sheriff johnson Of what he had
found. The sheriff summoned Justice
lizard and the county clerk, and with
Jones acting as their guide they made
their way TO the sept where the foot
had been unearthed. After removing
a few inches OF earth they came upon
the body of a woman. The body was
clad only in night dress and wrapped
in two old sacks. A handkerchief was
wrapped UlghIY around the meek ana
she had every appearance of having
been strangled to death.
An investigation was made and it was
found that the dead woman was Mrs.
Roch, the wife of a man who had
formerly lived in little cottage about
two hundred feet from where the
body was buried.
Suspicion pointed to her husband as
the probable murderer and a search
was made for him, but it was ascer-
tanned that he left yesterday for Phil
adelpbia in company with his little
girl. 1t is the belief of Justice lizard
and Sheriff Johnson that the woman
was buried while she was yet alive.
She was last seen alive on Sunday. The
family came to Estellville from Phila-
delphia about a year ago.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OFF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY

motion to strike from the pending ap-
preparation the proposed change of the
date of assembling the New Mexico
legislature from December to May
Mr.. Hill bitterly denounced the pro-
posed change as a political trick
which had been "sneaked into" this
appropriation bill, in order, as he
claimed to postpone the meeting of the
Democratic legislature, in the hope
that a Republican President would be
elected and the political control of the
Territory changed.
Mr.. Elkins protested against the use
of the words "sneaked in" The eE~
change between the Senators was very
animated, but Mr. Hill persisted in the
use of his adjectives.
Later Mr.. Brice sought to question
Mr.. Elllins, when the latter brought up
the offensive personal dispatch which
had been sent to Mr.. Brice from New
Mexico. The debate took wide range,
Senators German, Faulkner, Cockrell
and other Democrats attacking the pro-
vision as political, while Senators FL
lins, Carter, Cullom and other Republi-
can Senators defended it. Mr.. Cullom
sought to table Mr. Hills motion, but a
motion to this effect failed-2l to 90,
whereupon Mr. Cullom yielded to the
Hill motion, and the New Mexico pro
vision was struck out.
At the close of the day the Senate
passed the Legislative Appropriation
bill, carrying $21, 100000. Aside from
providing the usual appropriation, the

UPRISING IN TRANsvAAL
AN OUTBREAK OF THE BOERS
AGAINST THE BRITISH.
The Transvaal and Orange Free State
Make Common Cause Against
Great Britain.

Capetown, March Dispatches re-
ceiyed from Buluwayo, Matabeland,
to-day indicate that the uprising in
that part Of the colony is much more
serious than the authorities will adj
NIT.
The kilograms from the front yes
terday merely outlined a revolt of
few natives in the Inseza and Filabusi
districts, the massacre of some white
settlers, including commissary Bent
ley and the dispatch of small force Of
volunteers to the scene Of the disturb
ance. The dispatches to-day show that
the disturbance is widespread and be-
coming more alarming as time passes.
An extensive uprising of the natives, it
is now understood, has taken place and
the revolt is likely to spread to other
parts Of South Africa. The. settlers in
Matabeland are focking into the
towns, which are being placed in a con
dition for defense.
The opinion is expressed here that
the outbreak in Matabeland ison eof the
outcomes of the jameson raid and the
defeat inflicted by the Beers upon the
British. The news has spread far and
wide in greatly exaggerated form and,
coupled with the arming Of the Beers
Of the Transvaal, and Of the Orange
Free State and the exodus Of Beers
from other parts of South Africa into
the two Republics, has excited the ma
tives who are being led to believe that
the British are to be driven ont Of
South Africa
The Transvaal and the Orange Free
Lii
gainst Great Britain in which they are
being secretly encouraged by German
agents, who, for some time past, have
been actively intriguing against every
thing British. Nobody here believes
that President Kruger viii ever go to
England and close observers Of the sit
uation do not hesitate to express the
opinion that the British will soon have
a nasty war on their hands. The Beers
are daily becoming more and more
defiant and the question Of demanding
a large indemnity from Great Britain
as the result of the Jameson raid is
openly discussed and the Beers say
that in the event Of the refusal of Great
Britain TO pay the amount required,
the property of the Uitlanders WHO
took part in the demonstration against
Transvaal will be confiscated.
That Great Britain intends to main
tain her protectorate over the Trans
vaal, nobody here for a moment doubts,
as to relinquishsi it might prove a disas-
ter the full significance of which can
only be judged by those familiar with
the politics Of South Africa. But, it
is also generally admitted that The
Beers are determined to declare their
complete independence and that the
war preparations in progress at Pre-
toria are the preliminary steps towards
this declaration.
Other adyices received from Bulu-
wayo to-day say that there was great
alarm here on Wednesday and Thurs
day caused by a report, which turned
out to be false, brought into the town
at midnight, that the natives were
within half a mile of the place. The
women and children were ordered to
the court house, the men were all arm
ed for the defense of the town and
scouting parties were sent in all di-
rections.

and to give,to the people of that island
peace and self-goyernment.
Massachusetts Republicans have
never undertaken to pledge or bind
their delegates to a National conven
ton. We do not intend to do so now.
But we think it fitting to declare our
decided preference among the candi-
dates for the Republican nomination to
the presidency. We present to the Ma
tional convention for nomination as
President, and we urge all our dele
gates to give their earnest, united and
active support to a fearless leader,
tried in many hard conflicts, a man Of
National reputation, unwavering con-
victions and great Abilities the Hon
orable Thomas b. Reed, of Maine"
Four delegates-at-large to the Ma
tiOnal Republican convention were
then elected as follows: Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Nahant; w. Murray
Crane, of Dalton; Eben S. Draper, of
Hopedale, and Curtis Guild, Jr., of
Boston. They were chosen by accld-
nation.
Chairman Mccall asked Senator
Lodge to address the convention while
the tellers were counting the ballots
for delegates-at-large Mr.. Lodge, in
the course Of his brief remarks, said:
Every right-minded man must know
that a free silver bill will never pass
Congress. The day Of concessions is
passed. We have been very easy with
the silver men, but in the last few
months they have taken a tariff bill by
the throat-a bill which had no silver
question in it, and strangled it. Hence
we must take a firm stand on this ques-
tiOn."
Mr.. Lodge also reiterated what he
had said recently in the United States
Senate, upon the advisability of inter
yention in behalf of Cuba.

FUSION PROBABLE IN TEXAS.
and Populists May Com
bine ir Lone Star State.


Austin, Texas, March 27.--A report
is current here and it has appeared in
some of the Texas papers that the
leaders of the Republicans and Popu-
lists have a scheme to fuse, the RePub-
licans to vote for the Populist nomi-
nees for State offices and the Populist
to put Republican electors on their
ballots.
If this fusion is accomplished it will
endanger Texas as a Democratic State
this year. Two years ago the Demo
cratic vote for Culberson was 207267,
Populists vote 152,731 and Republican
59,001. The figures show that the COM
bined opposition two years ago had a
majority of over 500 and this has been
greatly increased since by defections
from the Democratic ranks.
This fusion movement it is said was
put on foot at Dallas some weeks ago,
bv Edward Green, w. X. MalSensou
and others and Populists here say it
win successfully be CARED out.
