upon this great and specific issue between the
parties we cordially invite the aid and cooper
alton of all organizations and citizens agreeing
with US upon this vital question.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: You could
aid us in greatly facilitating the work of dis
tributing campaign literature if you would
announce in your columns for the informa-
ton of those correspondents who ask you to
send them campaign documents that the
Congressional and State Central Committees
of their States are supplied with large guam
titles of documents for distribution to those
who apply.
The work has been so divided as to place
in the hands of the different State and Con-
gressional organizations the distribution OF
campaign literature, as they have better IA
cilities for knowing where these documents
will do the most good.
Yours truly,

after thirty years residence. The for
eigners struggled for years to get con-
cessions from President Kruger, but
were unsuccessful, and finally in retail
iatlon closed up the mines and let loose
hordes of half wild miners on the COM
munity. These commenced outrages,
and the better class of inhabitants ask
ed President Kruger to do something
to alleviate the evil, but he refused to
do anything. The people then sent to
Jameson, who was in command of the
border police OF Cape Colony. Jameson
started toward Johannesburg, and
Kruger hearing of it gave the people
what they asked. There was then
nothing for Jameson to do, but Kruger
cut the telegraph wire so that Jameson
could not be notified, but would keep
on his advance. A small force of Beers
were sent out to meet him and draw
him into an ambush, where they killed
a large party of his men and forced him
to surrender. Cecil Rhodes is at the
head o. the South African company,
which was chartered in 1889. 1t has
been his dream to get possession of the
entire country south Of the Zambezi
river and to organize a confederated
South African republic with himself at
it's head. He was undoubtedly con-
cerned with Jameson, and probably in
stigated his advance, thinking it to be
a step towards accomplishing his .ambi-
ton. but he SO covered UP all his con-
nection with the affair that it cannot be
proven.

TIL r. GR4fND OPERA.

BY the opportunity given the public
.'Tannhauser' will be chosen, for al
of Damrosch German Opera company
the musical people of this city can show
what their taste is. From the nine
operas in the list it is not probable that
the choice will fall outside the Wagner
works, because neither "Fideltio" or
'Freischutz" have been popular favor
ties of late years, and Damrosch's own
Scarlet Letter" is too new to be well
known. OF the Wagner list it is to be
hoped that neither 'Iohengrin" nor
"Tannhauser" will be chosen, for al
though both are very well done by this

portunity to hear a correct and ade-
quate representation Of one of the great
er works let us do so. When it was
first announced that Damrosch would
come it was given out that die Walku-
re" would be given. This would cer-
tainly show the talent of the singers
to good advantage, and contains several
of the most popular of the excerpt"

also be a glorious treat. The results of

PROFESSOR WEIR,s LECTURES.

Great Opportunity Coming for the Stu
dent If Art and All Others Interested-A
Course of Six Lectures en- the Old Mas
ters.
The course of six illustrated lectures
to be given by Prof. John F. Weir, di-
rector of the School of Fine Arts in
Yale, promises to be a great feature
in the seasons lectures. Prof. Weir
will speak on some of the principal CEN
ters and masters in art, and will give
six lectures in the course at the art
school, The lectures will be given on
successive Thursday evenings, begin
ming with this evening at s o'clock,

Glimpse oe Holland in the Time of
Rembrandt
BY continuous series Of stereopticon
views the subjects and places described
in the lectures are brought simultan-
eously before the audience at they are
referred to in the lectures The pro-
ceeds are to be applied to defraying the
cost of the Woolsey statue. The value
of such lectures as a means of culture
and entertainment to persons of refined
taste can hardly be exaggerated. 1t is
a rare opportunity, which is thus Offer
ed, of combining instruction with pleas
ure.
This series of lectures promises to be
one of the most interesting courses de-
livered here this season, principally be-
cause Prof. Weir's skill, acquired from
practicing in lecturing, in running has
tily over dry historic facts in a lively
and entertaining manner. Prof. Weir's
we'll known ability, knowledge and ex-
perience are a sufficient warrant that
the course will be a thoroughly inter-
esting and instructive one. He is well
known as successful painter, sculptor,
author and lecturer. His course of lee
lures met with great success in Boston
where he recently delivered them.
Tickets for the course may be secured

SIM PINES CRIME.

Danbury, March 4.-To-day Deputy
Sheriff Casey of Croton Falls came to
Danbury and subpoaened Mrs. F. NJ.
Brown to appear against Sam Pine, the
noted colored burglar and horse thief,
at White Plains, n. Y, where he is now
held on the charge of rape. The crime
was committed on the person of Mrs.
Brown herself, when she was Miss Slo-
cum, and keeping school in Westchest-
er county, N Y. Mrs. Browns friends
counsel her to appear against him, and
there is every probability that she will
be present at Pines trial. The crime
was committed fourteen years ago.
Since that time Pine has been confined
in the Bridgeport and Hartford jails
and prison working out a sentence for
burglary.

| form a Vigilancs Committee.
| New Britain, March 4.-The fire de-
partment was called out again tonight
at Sis to answer an alarm, the third
to-day, and the fourth since last night
This time there is not the least doubt
that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. The blaze was located in
the garret of the three story frame block
of Councilman Mcclure on Hartford
| avenue. When the department arrived
the flames We're already coming through
the roof. With considerable difficulty
they succeeded in eXtinguishing the
| fiames, when, to their CONSERVATION
they discovered that another blaze was
raging IN the cellar under the grocery
store on the first floor. On reaching
| the scene of the second incipient blaze
| they found a bundle of kerosene soaked
rags burning on top of two kerosene
! barrels.
The flames were extinguished just in
| time to prevent an explosion AS a re-
| suit of this last fire the whole city is up
in arms, and no effort will be spared to
bring the culprits to justice. One arrest
was made this morning of a suspected
character, who, it was thought, might
! be connected with the fires at the fac
| tory Of the Russell & Erwin company
| but there was little hope at the time
of convicting him of arson and now
| there is much less. The suspected eul-
prit is Russian Jew, who came here
from New York last Friday. A signifl-
cant fact connected with to-nights fire
is that the six double tenements in
Councilman McGuire's block are occu-
pied by Russian Jews also
| The authorities of the city have deter
mined that the safety of the city shall
not be risked, and extra orders have
| been issued to the police to be on the
! lookout for all suspicious parties The
citizens of the city have formed them
selves into bands to watch and protect
their own property and that Of the
places where they are employed Three
attempts have been made to fire the
factory of the Russell & Erwin COM
pany during the last twenty-four hours
The culprits tried to accomplish their
purpose twice in broad daylight to-day.
This industry is perhaps the largest in
New Britain, and it's destruction would
paralyze the place. The total loss to
this one concern is fully 100000 The
help has been laid off indefinitely, and
| it will take nearly month to repair
| the damage caused by the incendiarism
The city officials believe that the fires
are undoubtedly the work of a gang.
1t IS also said on the street tonight
that fire was discovered in the Strick-
land hotel last night and again to-day,
but that it was extinguished before any
thing serious could come of it upon both
occasions. The police are on duty here
tonight. The fire department expect
ed to be called out again before morn
ing, and few of them will sleep in their
beds tonight. There are perhaps forty
families who occupy rooms in the Nc
Gllire block. The damage to that
building will amount to several thou
sand dollars. The man arrested this
morning gave his name as 3. Blattner,

A demonstration was attempted this
afternoon by the students of the uni

and the disorderly proceedings were
speedily suppressed. Later 400 students
of the school of medicine and a number
of citizens who had joined them were
dispersed by the police. They soon re-
assembled, however, whistling and jeer-

several of them attempted to strike
him, whereupon the lieutenant drew
his revolver. The police and gendar-
