The Battle of Doornkop.

The battle of Doornkop was fought, Jameson's column surrendered, and .To- hannesburg people asked to lay down their arms, which was done on the understand ing from the government that our de- mands would be favorably considered which we were making solely to protect the lives of our women, children and prop erty The government guaranteed pro teetion to all these.
 The conditions of the government were carried out without any demonstration of violence on our part. Nevertheless many prominent Americans and others, num- bering 50, were arrested and prosecuted for sedition and treason under penalties involving imprisonment and cOnhscation of property valued at millions sterling. The detention of all the prisoners is un- justifable and the confscation of property a monstrous oppression.
 Ask our government to urge on the Transvaal government that the demands of the reform committee were reasonable and based on primary principles of the re- public.
 Protest against the treatment of all, and of the Americans in particular. .
 If the Transvaal government persists in its present course, our government can only invoke the aid of Great Britain. as paramount south African power, to coerce the Transvaal, which then forfeits the moral support of sister republic. i This course the Transvaal would fear. | First urge the reasonableness of our claim then warn the Transvaal govern ment of the consequences of loss of sup port and of invoking the aid of Great Britain. which is much disliked by the i Transvaal government.
 | Wire copies of this to Generals Miles and Schofield.

The services were held at the Uni

with u wealth OF floral tributes,
and prominent people were in at

Kingwood, and DR.. VIII NJ. Siyey,
of Tunnelton, were present.
Anthony Dunleyy Garden was
born in Monroe county, OHIO,

had been prominent IN Democratic

to the Legislature in 1887 and

Chief Deputy under U. S. Marshal

signed, was promoted to the Mar
shalship over year ago. He was
well known and general favorite
