CONDEMNED TO DEATH.
Severa. Leaders of the Reform Com
mittee Sentenced.

LONDON, April 8.-Secrei.ary OF
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, announced in the house of conf
mons today that the five leaders of the
reform committee at johannesburg, J.
H. Hammond, Francis Rhodes, George
Farrer, Lionel Phillips and Charles
Leonard, had been condemned to death.
Chamberlain added that upon hearing
the news he cabled to the governor of
Cape Colony, Sir Hercules Robinson,
to communicate the following to Pres
ident Kruger: "This government has
just learned that the sentence of death
had been passed on the five Leaders of
the reform committee and they can
feel no doubt but that your honor will
commute that sentence and have as
sured parliament Of their conviction
that this is your honor's intention"
John Hayes Hammond, one of the
men condemned to death, lis Cali
fornian.
WASHINGTON April 2S.-Perkins
and White were very much surprised
when shown the Associated Press cable
announcing that Hammond had been
sentenced to death. 1t was the i'm
preston that when the plea of guilty
was made an understanding had been
reached which would not mean the
death penalty Perkins expressed the
belief that the law required the death
sentence, but that the government will
commute it. The California senators
will probably ask through the state
department that clemency be shown
Hammond, although White says in the
face of the plea of guilty of high
treason he is not sure that this gov
eminent could make a very strong rep
resentation. The belief is expressed
here that Hammond before returning
to Pretoria had some understanding or
the subject of the sentence to be pro-
nounced and the proceeding that would
follow 1.-THE sentence. 1t is believed he
will not be put to death.

the remains of dead men CHANGED to
see what he supposed was Grape. on
the door knob of the above mentioned
merchant. Now the business man was
under obligations to the other party
in more ways than one, and the I'M
dertaker thought it quite peculiar that
the job was not given him. He went
to the merchant and said with an air
of person who had been sighted:
Who's dead up to your house? l saw
Grape on the door" The merchant
smiled and burst forth in the following
language: What are you trying to
talk about anyway. You nearly took
my breath away, l thinking that some
body had really passed away at my
residence since my departure. The
only way I can explain the presence
of the Grape is that my wife hung a
black veil on the knob of the back
door. today, to be aired" The under
takers jaw dropped and he bid hasty
adieu. His friends have been Jolly
