 The land court does not meet again until October when an order for dis misal will be made. Unti1 that time no entries will be made upon the land nuless Chief Justice Reed should is sue an order during recess, which he has power to do.

In few seconds MT. Kelly was hurled through the air at rapid rate and landed against the further side of the room, where he was found by those who came to investigate the cause Of the explosion.
 He was unconscious for a few days and for some time his life was de- spafred of. Upon his regaining con sciOusness it was found that his hear ing was entirely gone and his eye- sight greatly impaired He also com plains of severe pains in the back part of his head
 The pillows upon which he was sleeping were blown through the roof of the building and large hole torn in the floor. It is miraculous how MT. Kelly escaped with his life.
 The Mexican was captured shortly afterward and is now confined in jail awaiting the action of the authorities. MT Kelly is able to be around. The drums in both ears were cracked by the jar from the explosion. Mir Kelly is quite well known in Bis bee. being employed at one time by J. s.

 Some time ago MT. Kelly had some trouble with a Mexican in Sonora and shot the Mexican, inflicting a flesh wound. As the shooting was done in self defense MT. Kelly was allowed his freedom by the Mexican authorities But the Mexican, says the Bisbee Orb, still remembered him and had been waiting for a chance for revenge, so one night last week he secured a stick of giant powder with fuse and cap and while MT. Kelly was asleep he inserted the powder underneath Kelly's pillow and lit tn fuse, thsn made his escape

James A. Fleming: The Black War rior company proposes to build the Phoenix-Globe toll road since the peo- pie of the valley have not seen fit to subscribe the amount needed for this enterprise. Surveying will begin at once and the road will be finished as soon as possible. At the Black War rior camp the principal interest cen ters in the construction of the leach ing plant, which is rapidly assuming form. We hope to begin the produc- tiOn of copper bullion by the middle of next month, and when the works start up the force at the mine will be greatly increased. We will probably employ ssventy-fve more men th8n we have now.

DEFENDS THE BOERS.
Mason Makes an Urgent Appeal for His
Resolution of Sympathy.

Washington. Dec. 11.--An appeal by
Mason of Illinois for an expression of
sympathy for the Transvaal republic
in it's war with Great Britain was the
feature Of the senate proceedings to-
day 1t was the first formal address
delivered in the senate this session and
was listened to with thoughtful atten-
ton by both the members and by a
large gallery of auditors.
The resolution upon which Mr.. Ma
son based his address was referred to
the foreign relations committee, Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts,, considering
it 200 delicate a question, in view of
the position of this government, to pass
upon without serious consideration.
No business of Importance was trans
acted by the senate.
The announcement of the intention
of Mason of Illinois to address the sem
ate to-day on his resolution expressing
sympathy of the senate with the South
African republics in the war with
Great Britain drew a large crowd to
the senate galleries. In the absence
Of President Frye Plat of Connecticut
occupied the chair.
Hoar presented the resolutions of the
Massachusetts legislature in favor of
a constitutional amendment providing
for uniform hours of labor in manu-
fauctures in the United States.
Mr.. Mason then called up the resolu-
tion he introduced a few days ago. ex-
pressing the sympathy of the senate
with the South African republics in
their war with Great Britain and eX-
tending to them the hopes Of the SEN
ate for the success of their arms.
While his address at times was vehe-
ment, he confined himself during the
greater part of the time closely to his
manuscript, speaking at all times with
force and vigor. In opening he said:
tThe war between monarchy and re-
publicanism began in earnest July 4,
1776 and no treaty of peace has ever
been concluded, nor will ever be until
the question is settled right. The mon
archial trust company, though often
auarreling among themselves, have al
ways agreed on one thing that repub-
lie is a mistake"
After quoting extensively from Dan
iel Webster's speeches in support of
his position, Mr.. Mason continued:
But we are told that England was
our friend in the war with Spain. How?
Her~people were our friends because
her people are Christian people, her
government has never been our friend
except for the purposes of its own.

but truth compels The statement. So

to divide the union, but the brave,

THE MoLINEux CASE.
The Blue Paper Traced Back to His
Possession.

The Blue Papsr Traced Back to His
Possession.
New York, Dec. 11-Roland B. Mol
ineux, on trial for the murder of Kath-
erin ]. Adams, was visibly perturbed
this morning when the prosecution
called to the witness chair Mamie Me-
lando, formerly fcrewoman in the
Newark paint factory of which Molin-
eux was vice president. She was ques-
toned concerning note paper kept by
Molineux in his rooms at the factory
and testified that this paper was of
robins egg blue, with crest of three
silver crescents interlaced. This same
paper was used in a certain incriminat-
ing letter whose authorship Molineux
denies. Miss Melando testified that she
had discussed the crescent crested pa
per with Barlow S. Weeks last Janu-
airy, weeks before Moineux was ar
rested.
Mr.. Weeks had sent for her The
woman was a reluctant witness, being
a friend of Molineux and evidently
aware of the Importance of her testi-
mony.
While Miss Melando gave no direct
evidence against Molneux, testimony
was evidently considered by the prose-
cution as establishing the identity of
Molineux and the mysterious person
who wrote to the medical company.

London, Dec. II, 4:40 a. m.--No fur
ther news had been received to remove
the mystery overhanging General Gata-
cre's retreat from Stormberg. He has
not vet forwarded the promised addi-
tiotla1 message and the censorship has
prevented the correspondents from ex-
planning the matter. While it appears
Gatacre is inclined to overwork his
men, Lord Durhams remarks are con-
sidered as in rather bad taste. Until
General Gatacre has given his explana-
tions it is felt that considerable allow
ance must be made for the extreme diff
f1culty of getting intelligence in coun-
try, whose inhabitants are in strong
sympathy with the enemy.
Stormberg is described as a stronger
position than Laing's Neck. The only
road winds through lofty hills and
f1anking is impossible. Colesburg is
also said to be an almost impregnable
position and as no troops are available
to reinforce the columns acting in those
directions, it becomes evident that Cen
eral Gatacre's misfortune or error will
delay the invasion of the Free State,
perhaps some weeks. 1t is exceedingly
probable that he will be compelled to
retire on Queenstown and to wait for
reinforcements which can hardly reach
him until Sir Charles Warren's divis-
ion arrives at the Cape. The first de-
tachments will sail Saturday next.
Even If General French is not COM
PEELED to retreat he will be obliged to
pause in his advance.
1t now seems certain that the sew
enth division, which is being nobilized
at Aldershot, will also be sent to South
Africa.
No news has yet been received con-
firming the Boer report of the capture
Lord Methuen's column. 1t is just two
months since the Transvaal ultimatum
was delivered. Nine engagements have
been fought and the British have lost
566 killed, 2,027 wounded and 1877 miss
ing or prisoners.
The war Office has issued a notice
that after January l a deduction will
be made from the pay of soldiers serv-
ing in South Africa, in the case of pri-
Yates four pence per day for wives and
a penny for each child, in the case of
sergeants eight pence for wives and
two pence for each child. These sums
have thus far been paid by the gov
ernment. The order indicates. the be-
one.
Itsis announced from Cape Town that
the Beers have succeeded in repairing
the Leewufontein bridge between
Stormberg and Burghersdorp, which
the British destroyed on retiring.
Commandant Swanepol, who COM
manded the Boer forces at Stormberg,
has been replaced by a Scotchman
named Robertson.

voring the Beers in their conflict with
England. Governor Poynter presided
and speeches were made by G. M.
Hitchcock. candidate for United States
senator, Governor Poynter and others.
Among the resolutions adopted was
the following: Resolved, That we en-
ter emphatic protest against the al
lance expressed of understood betwean
the government of the United States
and that of Great Britain and we pro-
test against any courtesies being ex-
tended to the government of Great
Britain by our civil or military auth
critics to the detriment of the heroic
people of the South African republics
now fighting for the same principles
that the American patriots fought for.'

Arrested for Swindling.

New York, Dec 11.-o. w. Roper of
Newark, N. j., was arrested to-day by the
federal authorities and commA,ed to iaii
in default of 5000 bonds. The charge is
based upon an allegation that he was us
ing the mails for swindling purposes, and
it is claimed that his scheme was far
and away better than Millers Franklin
syndicate in that he took in plenty of
money and seldom, if ever, took paid any
out, except for running expenses. The
authorities have so complaints drawn up
against him and say that they can get
thousands of them if needed.

DEMAND FOR MONEY.
Bankers Are Puzzled Over the Financial


New York, Dec. 11.--There was great
demand for money to-day, Is per cent.
ruling for some early transactions A
large bank. which has made heavy loans,
marked up those outstanding to 10 per
cent. and scrutinized closely the collateral
offered for new transactions at higher
rates.
One Wall street bank requested from
% to % per cent margin, besides from 10
to ID points to spare on the stock. for
100000 loans.
Fifteen or 20 per cent. on good indus
trials was accepted on this basis where
the borrowers name was satisfactory.
In all from 600 to $40, 0OO,0 900 was
called and paid off. two or three millions
loaned at 6M7 per cent; large supplies
then loaned down to Per cent. Sterling
exchange advanced 4 per cent for de-
mand bills.
While bankers We're puzzled over tho
money situation here and abroad, the
prediction was made that the demand
bills would rule higher throughout the
week, with no prospect, however. of
touching the export point. One of the
largest foreign exchange houses reported
