Governor Morton Assnilcd.
Wo arraien the administration of Governor
Morton and recent Republican legislatures for
their cxtravacant legislation, whereby the
state taxes have been largely increased and
the burdens of the people augmented. Instead
of reforms, which were promised, there have
been fragrant corruption and misrule; instead
OF economy there has been prodigality; in
stead Of retrenchment there has been increas-
ed expenditure; instead of legisntiop for the
people. there have been protection and favor
itisin for trusts and monopolies.
We charge that the Office of superintendent
Of public works by the present incumbent has
been notoriouely extravagant' corrupt re-
gardless Of law and defiant Of public deccncy.
The Republican legislature has multiplied
state commissions, increased salaries pormit-
ted unnecessary and ruinous special logisla-
tiou almost without limit suppressed freedom

CONFESSIONS PLENTIFUL.
Wisconsin Convict Claims to Have
Killed Gibbs at Buffalo.

WAUPUN, Wis, April 26.-The confession
OF Minnie Allen, the convict, that she mur-
dered Montgomery Gibbs, at Buffalo, in April,
1894 has been repeated by her before the
state board Of control A letter from w. W.
Spearson, of Buffalo, says he has been re-
tained as attorney by the Robinsons, serving
life sentences for the crime, to secure their
release.
The confession Of Minnie Allen is that she
met Gibbs in California. Gibbs refused to
marry her and she lost trace of him. In
April, 1894, she was at the New Tiff house in
Buffalo, and in that city met Gibbs again.
On the night of the murder he took her to
the theater. They left early and while on
Delaware avenue she again asked him to
marry her. He refused, and she asked him
for his revolver. He handed her the weapon
and she shot him, threw the weapon beside
his body and went to the hotel, going from
there to New York. At the Imperial hotel in
that city she left her trunk. She came West,
was arrested in La Porte Ind, for theft
was released because she successfully feigned
insanity; came to Racine and was arrested
and sentenced. She went to Buffalo after the
arrest of the Robinsons to confess, but think
ing they would not be convicted, she came
West. She did not learn of their sentence
until In Waupun prison.

A COLUMN FOR ATTACK

was hastily formed, consisting of 100 whites
100 Cape boys and 100 natives They were
supplied with one Maxim and one Hotchkiss
rapid-fire gun, and were placed in command
of Capt MacFariane. They were speedily
ready for an offensive movement, and thus
commanded and equipped, they sailed forth
from the Buluwayo defenses at o'clock Sat
urday morning. They took direction north
westerly from the town in the direction of
Umugaza river. They had proceeded only
about five miles on this course, advancing eau
tously, with scouts.i in advance and outriders
on each side, when the enemy opened the at
tack. The Matabele force numbered not less
than 3,000 and their attack was eager and
well-directed. The column from Buluwayo
was Just crossing, a small stream, tributary
of the Umugaza, when the attack opened
The overwhelming odds, 10 to 1, hurled upon
the little column, drove 1t back by mere weight
Of numbers, and the advance parties were glad
to retreat in haste across the stream. This
retrograde movement was however, effected
in good order, and, fighting as they went,
drew the enemy across the river.
The Matabele advanced upon the little band
of warriors in formidable array, their line
extending in a crescent formation, the horns
Of the crescent advancing to the front, creep
ing and writhing like a treacherous serpent
seeking to enclose It's prey and surround it in

giving forth fierce Eyelis in true savage fash

the column they afforded an excellent target
for the sweeping discharge of the rapid fire
guns. The engagement which ensued was a
hot and desperate one, and dark, leaping
bodies seemed to epring up as fast as they
were moved down. The Buluwayo force
kept the river in their immediate front. The
firearms did heavy execution among the hos

CAPE TOWN, April 26-The news of Sat-
urday's events in Buluwayo show that the
Matabele are displaying great boldness and
energy in the pursuit of their purpose to
surround the town completely and cut off
all communication with the outside world.
On Saturday morning 1t was found that
the hostile forces sos natives had surrounded
the town on the. north, east and west their
ranks being much too close to the town to
allow of any freedom of action by those with
in. Their lines are being energetically ex-
tended in both directions, and threatened to
close in on the south and cut off communi-
cation with ManEewe and Mafeking, along
which the expected reinforcements and sup
plies of provisions are coming. The pickets
of the enemy were found to be In no case
beyond four miles distant from the Bulu-
wayo lines, and they were giving lively evi-
dences of their improved knowledge of mil
itary strategy over that displayed in the war
of Lobengula by: the way in which they
were throwing up rude Notifications and
earthwork projections beyond which the
native warriors could resist the charge of
the whites. They threatened thus to work
an approach to the town, which was speedily
putting the place In jeopardy. Immediate
steps were perceived to be necessary to dis
lodge the lines of the enemy and drive them
back.
