Secretary Root had to laugh when
he read the sensational statement
that this government was trying TO
negotiate with AguinaldO. The "De.
gotiation" referred to consisted OF
the forwarding, at the request Of The
government Of Spain, of a message to
General Otis directing him to get i
to Aguinaldo if possible. This mes
sage was demand for humane treat
ment of the Spanish prisoners in
Aguinaldo's hands, and it was &C
companied by a notification that
this government would hold the Fill
iDinOs to IL strict ability for
any mistreatment of prisoners, either
Spanish or American, and, as the
nearness OF his own finish must be
apparent to him, Aeuinaldo is likely
to heed 1t, If it can be gotten to him.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1899.

IT is reported in The Daily Times
that w. G. Leitsch, the popular young
mayor of Columbus, is thus early seek
ing the next Republican nomination
for congressman of this district. and
that on a recent hurried visit to this
city he ''lost no time in hustling around
to repair his political fences This
is the first definite information we
have had of Mr.. Leitsch's intended
candidacy. but we will take it for
granted that it is authentic. The
Times seems to be quite worried as to
the quality of Republicanism posse ssed
by the prospective candidate, but we
can give assurance that no alarm need
be felt on that score, for Mr.. Leitsch
is as good Republican on every per-
tinent question as resides in the dis
trict today, notwithstanding he is
comparatively new acquisition to the
ranks of the g. o. p. However, he is
very welcome one; it is just such
young, active, hustling members that
the party most needs. 1t is true, as
The Times states, that Mr.. Leitsch
has progressed rapidly in the affec-
tions of number Of young Republic
cans here" but we want to also call
attention to the fact that it is not
alone with the young men that he
stands well, but with the older ones
also. He has rare faculty of making
friends and gaining condolences that
are lasting When he first appeared
IN the congressional contest a year
ago last summer he was little known,
but We daresay that now his acquaint-
ance throughout the Second district
will compare favorably with that pos
sessed by any man. His active work
on the stump year ago served him
in good stead and wherever he went
he made most favorable impression.
We predict a brilliant and useful flu
ture for Mr.. Leitsch, and if it is his
intention to seek the congressional
nomination we can assure him the
hearty support of not only those who
stood by him in '90, but of many new
friends who ardently admire his ster-
ling traits and happy attributes.

May Die-One of the Robbers Was
Captured With Part of the Plum
der Or Him-About $3.50 Was
Recovered.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 3.-Two
masked men at o'clock this morning

rooms on the second floor of a block in
the very heart of the business district,
held up fifteen men, looted the tills and
safe and escaped with $1,000 in cash and
bills.
In the chase and consequent capture
Of one of the thugs, Policeman Gemm-
rig was shot in the groin and perhaps
fatally wounded. The two robbers hired
a room in the block in which the gam
bling rooms are located, and for two
days waited their chance. They chose
the time when the gambling was about
to close for the week.
Under the influence of four big re-
volvers the crowd playing at the tables
was ranged along the wall while the
masked men appropriated all the
money in sight On the street below,
within fifty feet of the robbers, were
twenty-five men. The police were
within easy call after the men made
their rush for a hiding place and the
chase began.
Officer Gemmrig sighted the men and
a pistol duel began. Twenty shots were
exchanged and Gemmrig was the only
man hit The robber with the smaller
amount of cash was located in wood
yard and gave up. About $3.50 was re-
covered. Gemmrig was resting easily
tonight.

Reply Will Be impairment.

London, Sept. All the special dis
patches to the London morning papers
from South Africa indicate that the
correspondents have got the impress
sion that the reply of the Transvaal
government to Mr.. Chamberlain lat
est note will be an impertinent rejec-
ton of the suggested conference at
Capetown and a threat to withdraw the
fiye-year franchise offered.
The correspondent of the Times at
Newcastle, Natal. confirms the belief of
its Johannesburg correspondent, Mr.
Moneypenny, that aggressive action is
imminent.
A special dispatch from Johannesburg
says it is understood that the charge
against Mr.. Brakeman. editor of the
Transvaal Leader, who was arrested on
Saturday. will be reduced from sedition
to contravention of the press laws.

Exodus Begun.

London, Sept. 4-The johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail, who
paints a s,looTny and pitiable picture of
the condition of things there, says.
1T is almost a case of absolute exc
due and panic. Business is paralyzed,
the prices of food stuffs are rapidly
rising, half the houses are empty and
the other sare tenanted by people who
do not pay rent, the landlords being
glad enough to have them as occupants
in order TO insure some sort OF protec-
ton to the property.
1.-The tension has reached the snap
ping point. Bankruptcy and starvation
are staring the people in the face. An
other fortnight of suspense win result
in a complete commercial collapse. The
banks are thronged with people anx-
ious to withdraw their gold and they
are always besieged by those who wish
to get away.
.RumoTs fix the NUMBER of warrants
issued at i47, including the representa-
tives OF all the London daily papers.
Mr.. Moneypenny, editor of the Star, it
is reported. has evaded the detectives
sent to arrest him, and has succeeded
in crossing the border.
1T is believed that the mediation Of
Mr.. Fischer, the representative of the
Orange FREQ State, has failed"

New York, Sept. 3.-The steamer Car
ibee arrived from Barbados today with
thirty-six of the thirty-nine passengers
of the Lamport & Holt steamer Words
worth, from Rio for New York, which
put into Barbados with engines dis
abled. The head of the low pressure
steam chest was blown out, instantly
killing Archibald Thomas, the chief
engineer.
The Wordsworth drifted along for
several days until the engineers de-
partment succeeded in getting steam
in the boilers. The engines were
started and would run for an hour or
so at time and then stop, only to be
again repaired and started. In this
lame manner the Wordsworth finally
arrived at Barbados and transferred
her passengers to the Caribee. Among
the passengers was William G. Bu-
chanan, United States minister to Ar

H.
Ogden, Sept. 3.-The Hot Springs mo-
tor car jumped the track this afternoon
and as result of the accident George
Hart, the conductor, was instantly
killed and William Allmon, a passenger
was injured. The place where the ac-
cident occurred is in Pleasant View pre-
cfnct, about seven miles from Ogden.
The accident occurred at $50 o'clock
There were seven passengers on the
car at the time, but they were so badly
shaken up that none of them were able
to give a very clear account of how the
accident happened.
The motor engine with one car left
the city for the north on schedule time
and was running at a fair rate of speed
From what can be learned, the conduct
or was standing at the rear door of the
car, and just as it was opposite the
residence of John Seaman the rear
trucks left the track. The car imme-
diately began to sway violently as 1t
ran over the ties, and the conductor
according to the passengers, ran to the
front of the car and either fell or
jumped off. The engineer endeavored to
stop the train, but was not able to do
so, the air cylinders having been blown
off the engine either before or just af-
ter the cars left the track.
The cars ran about 100 yards after
leaving the track, and one-half of this
distance being after Hart had fallen
When assistance was secured it was
found that the conductor had been in
stantly killed. The wounds on his body
and head showed that one of the wheels
had passed over his skull and that he
had been dragged for some distance.
His left leg was broken near the ankle
~ II Ia h. Ill 4
The passengers on the car were Miss
Amy Reese, Miss Mary Kirby and a sis
ter of the latter, all of whom live in
Pleasant View, also William r. Allmon,
William Robinson and +. Bruce, en-
ployees of the Denver & Rio Grande,
and w. H. Hubbard of San Jose, Cal
Miss Lily Singleton, who witnessed
the accident, stated that the conductor
ran through the car and attempted to
put on the brakes when he was thrown
off. The car had just passed over a
culvert, and it is thought that Hart
must have been shaken off by the jolt
ing in going over the culvert. Justice
Cragum viewed the body and sum-
moned a coroner's jury, which will hold
an inquest at 10 o'clock this morning
at Richey's undertaking establishment.
Hart was a resident of Omaha, and
his parents have been notified of his
death and asked what disposition they
want made of his remains. Today was
the last day Of the motor car run, as it
is to be taken off tomorrow Before
he started on the trip Hart remarked
that he was glad that it was his last
run. William Allrnon, the passenger
who was injured, is being treated by a
physician. His injuries are not thought
to be serious, but it will be several DAYS
before anything definite is known.
