will be content to wait even that long

An Outlander Petition.
The outlander council, as the result
of meetings held at Pietermaritzburg
and johannesburg, has decided to ad-
dress communication to the British
high commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner,
urging the imperial government to
break off negotiations with the Trans
vaal. The reasons for this action are
that ''the severe distress prevailing
may compel the remaining outlanders
to accept any compromise offered; that
loyal British subjects are becoming dis
contented and that great unrest prevails
among the natives"
It should be borne in mind, however,
that Pietermaritzburg has been the

French Government Finally Manages to
Arrest Guerin, the Agitator.
PARIS, Sept. 21.-M. Guerin and
companions, who have been besieged in
the Grand Occident for the past six
weeks, have surrendered. Preparations
on very large scale had been made
to attack the building and all night
the streets in the vicinity were swarm
ing with troops. M. Guerin was
given until a. IN. to surrender and
shortly before that hour he promised tc
be ready when the time arrived. Pre-
cisely at the hour appointed a captain
of the Municipal Guards raped at the
door of Fort Chabrol. There was a
moment of expectation and then the
door opened. NJ. Guerin calmly pre-
sented himself, meekly surrendered and
was driven to the police depot in an
open cab seated beside the captain of
the guards. His companions were al
lowed to go free. Thus the six weeks
siege ended in
sublimely Ridiculou. Style.
The night was we'll chosen by the gov
ernment, as the excitement over tn.
capture of the fort would undoubtedly
divert attention from the pardon ex.
tended to Dreyfus.
The plan was to attack the building
and arrest Guerin and his band. The
government had given him until il
the morning to surrender and had !;

refused. Troops, Municipal Guards

A LATER SUMMARY
Of Casualties Shows Is Killed and So
Injured.

New York, March 1S.-The most COM
plete list of casualties at the Windsor
hotel fire shows that fifteen persons
were killed and possibly more, with
bodies in the ruins. Forty persons miss
ing. Fifty-two names are in the list of
injured whose whereabouts are known
Three fire engines and a hundred pO-
Hcemen remained all night about the
burning building. These engines poured
six large streams of water on the flames
spite of the firemen. Little explosions
occurred every once in a while from
escaping gas, the pipes having been
smashed all over the lower part of the
building, the only part that was left.
Citizens were kept a block away from
the ruins, as pieces of wall We're falling
every now and then and there was
danger that the portion of wall at the
back of the building and that on the
Forty-sixth street side might fall at
any time. The bit of wall on the Forty
sixth street side tapered to point and
still held two chlmneyS in place. 1t
will be pulled down during the day.
The wall on the rear side, seven stories
high, was still standing, but it looked
as though it might fall with the first
stiff breeze. The wall on the Forty
seventh street side was about two
stories high and that in front on Fifth
avenue about the same height. The
walls showed breaks in them and had
jagged tops, adding to the hideous ap-
pearance of the ruins behind them,
which smoked and steamed and emitted
a bad stencil. Fifth avenue, Forty
sixth street and Forty-seventh street
were impossible. They were covered
with debris from the walls of the hotel
and in many instances f1agstones were
broken by the great crash of stone and
brick.
Gangs of men were kept all night at
the ruins, ready to begin the work of re-
moving the debris, so to find bodies
burned underneath. 1t may be noon be-
fore the work can be begun, delay being
caused by the continual outbursts of
flame and the great heat still clinging
to the debris
Chief Bonner said today that no fire
men were missing.
AT o'clock this morning a few men
were set to work on the Forty-seventh
street side to tear down the wall which
was so dangerous; it could not be al
lowed to remain standing. The con-
tractor said that as soon as possible
he would start the men to overhaul
the ruins. He would have 1, 900 men at
work if that number were needed.
Edward kfllen, milknan, said today
that he had discovered the fire. He
was watching the St. Patrick's day
parade when he saw curtain take fire.
He ran into the hotel and tried to send
in an alarm by means of the hotel auto
matte box, but it would not work. Then
he returned to the street.

THE JURY DISAGREES.
No Verdict in the Brandley Murder
Trial in Chase County.

Cottonwood Falls, March 1S-The jury
in the case of the state against Harry
Brandley after being out for 48 hours
were discharged yesterday afternoon by
Judge Randolph.
The trial had lasted a week and was
bitterly contested by the attorneys for
the state and defense.
The history of the case is peculiar On
the night of July "a, about o'clock,
Frank Rynard, a hired man working
for Captain Brandley, the father of the
defendant, Harry Brandley, was shot
and instantly killed by some person
unknown.
Captain Brandley's home is southwest
of Matfield Green in a comparatively
isolated portion of the county surround
ed by hills and this made it easy for the
party who committed the murder to
escape undetected.
Back of the murder was romance
which led up to the arrest of young
Brandley on the charge of killing
Rynard.
daughters, with one of whom, Miss Pearl
Rynard became greatly infatuated, and
it is said that the girl was not averse
to his suit, although she denied this on
the witness stand during the trial
Captain Brandley did not oppose the
young mans suit. He said he had mar
ried the one he cared for and his daugh-
ter should do the same as long as the
man was respectable and of good char
acter.
But Mrs. BrandIey, the mother of Miss
Pearl, violently opposed the match,
having higher aspirations for her
daughter, it is said, than marriage with
a farm hand, and once discharged Ry-
nard, but Capt. Brandley reinstated him
again.
Harry Brandley, who was not living
at home but occupying a ranch house
a few miles away, was also opposed to
Rynard and sided with his mother.
On the evening of the murder young
BrandIey had been at the home ranch
and talked with his mother and it is
said both spoke bitterly of Rynard, as
witnesses testified he had done on other
occasions But he left the house be-
fore the fatal shot was fired.
When arrested a chamber in young
Brandley's revolver was found empty,
the bullet wound corresponding in size
with the one which killed Rynard. At
the trial it was proven that the de-
fendant had fired that at a coyote some
DAYS previous to the murder.
The evidence seemed so incomplete at
the preliminary examination that Judge
Randolph threw the case out of court.
But enemies of young Brandley insisted
that he be tried and produced alleged
new evidence.
The most damag ging evidence against
him was furnished by Cecil Richards,
who worked for Brandley's father at the
time the murder was committed.
The evidence, however, was thrown
| out and Richards was arrested on a
charge of perjury.
Judge Randolph says there was not a
| single sentence of positive evidence
against the prisoner; it was all circum-
| stantial and not strong at that. Posi-
| tive evidence was introduced showing
| that Brandley was at home asleep in his
| bed at the time the murder was COM
| mitted. He has been admitted to bail
| in the same sum as before the trial.
| Whether there will be another trial or
is vet unknown.

BINDING TWINE PLANT.
John Seaton Expects Good Results
From the Lansing Experiment

Atchison, Kan. March 1S.-Represen-
tative John Seaton said today that he
expected the Kansas Denitentiary to
turn out probably million pounds of
binding tWine for Kansas before the
next harvest. The $195, 600 appropriated
for the new plant, supplies and running
expenses is now available, and the peni-
tentiary board, which has the matter
in charge will hold a meeting March %
to arrange the prices to be charged dur
ing the coming season and also to order
the plant and supplies.
Capt. Seaton says great haste will
have to be made if the plant is put in
operation in time to supply next sea-
sons demand. He was in Kansas City
yesterday with the penitentiary warden
on binding twine business. The warden
has received a request from Vermont
for carload of Kansas binding twine,
but no binding twine will be sold out of
the state so long as the demand remains
unsupplied in the state.
Seventy-five men will be employed at
first, but the force will be gradually
increased to three or four hundred. 1t
is generally believed that the peniten-
tiary binding twine will sell at about 8
cents pound this season. Binding
twine sold as high as Is cents a pound
in AtchiSon last season.

Indianapolis, March 1S.-The most
riotous scene ever witness at public
meeting in Indianapolis occurred last
night at a mass meeting of citizens at
Tomlinson hall in the interest of 3-cent
fare agitation.
When the doors were opened 1.500
hired thugs and heelers rushed into the
hall with the 3-cent people.
Fully 1890 were jammed in the build

POPE LEO is FAILING.
The Doctors Have Decided Upon An
other Operation.

London, March 1S.-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Daily News says:
1.-THE pope was present at the delivery
of a Lenten discourse by his special
preacher, many cardinals and prelates
in attendance, but in accordance with
ancient custom, he sat behind a screen
invisible to ALL
The Rome correspondent of the Times
says:
Il am able to confirm the report that
the pope'S strength has never recovered
from the shock of the operation. AL
though there is no reason to apprehend
immediate danger, his continued weak
ness is causing grave anxiety at the
vatican. Still it is hoped that careful
nourishment and skillful nursing will
facilitate a complete recovery, as a
minute examination today revealed no
symptoms of organic disease. 1t is the
pope's physical depression and absence
of elastic vitality that suggests doubts
of his powers of recuperation.'
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says:
THE pontiffs desire to utilize all his
energies in efforts of forced vitality is
frequently followed by complete COL
lapse. Such an experience occurred last
night when he was carried to his bed
by four men, as the doctor wished to
avoid the least shock to the patient
ANOTHER OPERATION.
Paris, March 1S.-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Figaro says the pope's s
physicians have decided upon another

tunity for clash.
The consul speaks In high terms of

pressed satisfaction with the course
pursued. He makes no mention of in
