He Writes From Pretoria Stating Facts
Connected with His Arrest.
Chicago. Jan. 31.-A dispatch from
Washington says: Senator John p.
Jones has received the following mes
sage from John Hays Hammond. who
is in jail a. Pretoria, South Africa: II
was arrested with 81 others, charged
with sedition and high treason. The
circumstances are as follows: The his
tory of the Transvaal is that Of a small.
unenlightened, retrogressive communi-
ty. The government is a narrow OH
garchy, with inefficient administration.
The population, including many promi-
merit Americans, comprises more than
twice the number of the governing
class They are the wealth producers,
Capable of all industries, yet they bear
n.ne-tenths of the taxation. They have
no voice in affairs, are excluded from
franchise, have no municipal govern
ment, no participation for the children
In the public schools. This condition of
affairs has prevailed for years All pc
titbons for redress of grievances and
remonstrances to the Boer Legislature
were treated with scoI'n.
I'm December the leading citizens of
Johann esburg. including all the promi-
nent Americans, constituted reform
committee to obtain constitutional re-
dress and ISSUED a manifesto of their
demands. having first hoisted the
Transvaal flag and having sworn TO
maintain the integrity of the republic.
White agitatfng the questions constitu-
tionally. the Jameson incident occurred.
1t was quite dlsasSocfated from the re-
form movement. On Dec. 81 the gov
eminent sent a. committee to Johannes
burg asking the reform committee to
send a deputation to Pretoria No I'M
derstanding was arrived at.
The battle of Dornkoop was fought.
JamesOn's column surrendered and Jo-
hannesburg people were asked to lay
down their arms. This was done on an
understa nd!ng from the government
that their demands would be favorab bly,
considered, which were made solely to
protect the lives of our women, child
rem and property. The government
agreed TO this. The demands OF the
government were carried out without
any demonstration of violence on our
part Nevertheless, many prominent
Americans and others, numbering so.
were arrested and prosecuted for sedj-
tion and treason, under penalties in
volving imprisonment and conflscation
of property valued at millions sterling.
The detention of all the prisoners Is UNI
justifiable, and the conaiscation of prop
eT-ty monstrous oppression
ASK our government to urge on the
Transvaal government that the de-
mands of the reform government COM
mittee were reasonable and based on
primary principles of the republic"

The App'icatlol Denied.

Special D!spa tch 10 the Standard.
Boise. Idaho, Jan. 3l.-State Engineer
Mills has reported unfavorably on the APP
plication of the American Falls Land,
Irrigation and Power company for the
withdrawal OF 100000 acres of land in the
Snake river valley for reclamation under
the Carey act. The state board of land
commissioners will deny the application.
This is the company Of which Charles T.
Palmer of Chicago, now in Pocatello. is
president. Some have confused IL with
the American Falls Power & Canal COM
pany, whose application for the with
drawal of 5000 acres has been favorably
acted upon. The state engineer finds the
plan not feasible and the cost named I'm

TO Be INVESTIGATED
A COroner'S Jury Will Lock Into
Thomas HOCkiDg's Death
HOW HIS CASE WAS TREATED
The High PrIestess of the Christian
Scientists Says She AdmInis-
tered Prayer and r aith-The
Unfortunate Man Died.

Coroner Richards will commence an
investigation at the Butte undertaking
rooms at 10 o'clock to-day to inquire
into the death OF Thomas Hooking, who
died in the students treating room, f"
at the Columbia block on Thursday
afternoon while undergoing treatment
by the Christian Scientists under the
leadership of Mrs. Anna Crowley, who
is the high priestess of the Scientists.
The dead mans relatives, with the ex-
ception of those who are Christian Sci
entists themselves. are very much
worked up over the manner of his death
and they propose TO make Mrs. Crow
ley tell what she did TO earn the $50 or
$40 that Hooking paid her for treat
ment Hocking's sister and brother-in-
law. Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Morcom Of
No. III Pearl street, are firm believers
in the efficacy of prayer and faith and
the other dogmas of the Christian Sci
ence belief, and they have professed a
willingness to tell all they know about
the case and about Christian Science as
well on the witness stand.
DIR. Blackburn, who attended Hook
ing up TO last Friday, when he turned
himself over to the Christian Scientists,
refused to issue a certificate of death
and notified the coroner that IL was a
case which demanded an investigation
The dead mans friends and relatives
also insisted on an investigation, and
the corner acceded to their requests last
evening. Hooking was a great sufferer
from asthma, and on Friday he called
on DR.. Blackburn, who prescribed for
him. He went from the doctors Office
to the home of his sister, and DR..
Blackburn heard no more of the case
until he was asked to sign a certificate
of death. Hooking was one of the fol-
lowers OF Christian Science and Mrs.
Crowley commenced to treat him at his
sisters home. Later on she suggested
that she could give him much better
treatment if he would move to the
Christian Science rooms in the Column
bia block. He went there last Tues
day and was placed in the students
treating ROOM" in which he died Thurs
day. 1t is stated that Hooking paid her
in advance, the prices agreed on being
81 each for the first u treatments, then
81 each until $35 had been paid, after
which he was to be treated free until
cured. The coroner subpoenaed Mrs.
Anna Crowley and several of her stu
dents last evening, and IT is likely that
all OF the details of the Christian Sci
ence treatment will be brought out to-
day Mrs. Crowley told the coroner
that she uses no medicine, but cures by
prayer and faith alone.

CAPTAIN HEALY'S CASE.
The Dispatch Announcing His Dis

81 can't believe the report, and l won't
until it is confirmed"
Such was Frederick A. nealy's comment
on a published telegram announcing his
fathers dismissal from the United States
revenue service. The popular young bar
rister was much grieved and incensed at
the report, and finds it impossible to give
credit to ii.
eff my father had been dishonorab bly,
dismissed in the high-handed fashion
which the dispatches indicate" ne re-
marked, ''sureiy he would have received
some notice of it. He has near and dear
friends in Washington, who would see to
it that the earliest news, good or bad as
to the result of the inquiry would reach
hin without delay. 1t looks as though
the dispatch had been evolved from the
fertile brain of some one of the gentry
who trumped up the charges against my
fla, her, which the testimony at the trial so
trium phantly refuted.
Messrs. Henley and Costello, Captain
Healy's attorneys. also regard the dis
patch as meriting no high degree OF
creoence.
III Captain Healy had been thrust out
of the service" remarked Mr. Costello
yesterday, 1--WE would have heard of it
before now. 1t seems to me the most that
can befall the captain is transfer, or per-
haps only a reprimand. Until we receive
some confirmatory intelligence we cannot
repose any confidence in the dispatch"
