PASSPORTS DENIED.
Boer sympathizers In Washington Wanted 600
OF Them.

Application was made by Gustav
Thielkuhl at the state department Sat
urday for 900 passports for members
OF the third expedition to be sent from
this country to the Transvaal by the
promoters OF the Duchessc dc Uze's
legion. He failed to secure the pass
ports.
"He was told" he says, THAT one
reason why he could not secure them
is that they could not be prepared be-
fore December FL, the day the third ex-
petition would sail from New York"
The second expedition, according to
Thielkuhl, left New York Friday. Thiel-
kuhl expects to go on the third expe-
dition, December 81, which will sail in
a specially chartered vessel and will
carry 900 men. The men that are being
sent abroad, he explains, are not armed.
Thielkuhl was employed as mes
senger in the patent office until Monday
last, when he resigned to devote his en-
tire attention to the Transvaal enter
prise. His application to the state de-
partment was for 900 passports for "an
expedition OF miners to the Transvaal." !"
He is a Boer sympathizer.

ENDORSES ROBERTS.
An Ohio Statesman Says Ne Is as Pure AZ
Any Buckeye Politician.

John Q. Abbott, who represented
McConnellsville, o., in the Ohio Senate
for years, as Republican, is home,
after spending year in Utah, as a
member OF the Ute Indian Commission.
Ex- Senator Abbott says:
Il am in favor of giving Congress
man Roberts his seat, because | know
him TO be a morally pure man. Roberts
was member of the Constitutional
convention in Utah, which prohibited
polygamy in the future. He was one
OF the most active advocates OF the
abolition Of polygamy. He did not be-
lievc, however, that il would be right
for men who had been led by a wrong
religion to take unto themselves several
wives to cast them all off, save one,
when polygamy was abolished. He be-
lieved that those who had more than
one wife should care for them as before,
and sustain them in the relations OF
matrimony, into which they had en-
tered. Under the circumstances | be-
lieve this was right.
Roberts is one of the most able men
in all this country. He is as eloquent
as Foraker. and as clean politically, as
any statesman Ohio has ever brought
forth. He arose from the humble walk
OF a blacksmith to his present position.
| believe he is entitled to his seat, and
should have it."

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM AMERICA.
Asuinaldo Has Paper in Which Ne Publishes
EXPRESSIONS Of Sympathy.

General Joe Wheeler, in n personal
letter received at Washington a few
days ago, dated at Angeles, Luzon,
says:
There are more than 20 different
tribes in this island and very few oi
them would submit to Aguinaldo's rule.
Aguinaldo and his generals would like
to govern because it would give them
great power and many OF his soldiers
like the war because for the first time
in their lives they have authority to
carry a gun. They live by taking what
they want from the people. Many oi
them are robbers who rob defenseless
people OF their money and sometimes
murder them. II we should withdraw
there would be warfare and anarchy
in the islands, and the wcll-to-do peo-
Ole would get some strong government
to come and take control.
Aguinaldo publishes paper which
is filled with expressions from people
from the United States who arc called
anti-imperialists and | think were it
not for these expressions the insurrec-
ton would be closed.

Prof w. s. Johnson and C. L. For

telegraph. They succeeded in telegraph

all doors closed and through seven

Another test was made, when the sig

proof vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard in which 80 wires were con-
nected up and about 40 dead wires were
located. Notwithstanding the fact that
this switchboard contained live wires,
the current passed through all OF the
vaults and through this board.
A third test was made, in which the
sending instrument was placed inside
of one OF the steel vaults and both doors
were closed and the combination lock
turned. The signals were then trans
mitted clearly from inside OF the vault
to an adjoining room.

reason has sympathized with President
Aguinaldo, whom he recently acclaimed
