JAMESON RAIDERS SERIOUSLY ILL.
WiIIOughby and White Are Wasting
Away in Holloway Prison.

London, Jan. A.-It is reported that the
government has instructed two eminent
members of the medical profession to ex-
anime and report upon the physical con-
dition of Sir John Willoughby and Major
Robert White, the remaining two of the
Jameson batch of raiders who are still
confined in Holloway prison, having yet
several months of their sentences to serve
Each prisoner has lost in the neighbor-
hood of 40 pounds, while Major White is
suffering from nervous exhaustion, in
somnia and general weakness aggravated
by close confinement. If the report of the
special commission bears out the report
of the prison physicians, it is probable
that the two officers will be released at an
early date.

Prefers an Oregon Jail to an Illinois
Hangman's Moose.

Portland, Or, Jan. 2S.-The Chicago au-
.hor1ties will be compelled to wait three
son axtradite George
years before they cam u - s.s.,l,,
Betz, alias John Bingham, who Is wanted
there for murder. Betz Is under sentence
Of three years in the Oregon penitentiary
for burglary, but in order to allow the
Chicago authorities to take him on the
charge Of murder, Governor Lord issued
pardon.
Judge Sears of the state circuit court,
before whom the charge was called today
on writ of habeas corpus, held that the
warrant of extradition from the governor
of Illinois was imperative, as it was
signed by Governor Lord of Oregon before
the governor issued the pardon to Betz.
He also held the pardon was imperative
until Betz accepts it. Betz has not ex-
pressed an intention of accepting it, and
1t is probable he will serve his term in the
Oregon penitentiary.

New York. Jan. PA special to the
Press from West Point, N. Y, says:
Bones by the hundred have been I'M
earthed right under the officers club
rooms. They are all human bones In good
condition, but nobody knows when they
were placed there or how they got there.
1t might have been a half century ago,
but the probabilities are, judging from
the stories told by old residents, that they
are the bones of soldiers killed in the
revolution. 1t is known that spies and
tories hanged on the plains were buried
by the patriots where the school now
stands. What disposition will be made
of the bones is not yet announced, but it
is likely they will be buried in the ceme-
terry.

1t is noticeable that in the 1897 models
there is a reduction in the use of bolts

in the frames, but the crank hangers
