did in the nighttime of June II, 1899,
break and enter Fleener's restaurant
at Hedrick, for the purpose of commit
ting public offense, to-wit, larceny.
The evidence on the part OF the state
tended to prove the confession on the
part of the defendant that he had got
Fleener's restaurant; the fact, however.
that the building was broken and Ell
tered was not proved by any other evil
denee than that OF his confessions, and
under our laws man can not be con-
victed OF crime unless other evidence
has been produced to prove the corpus
deficit other than that of the confess
sions of the defandant. This, in SUBJ
stance was part of the courts in
structions. The case was submitted
to the jury Immediately after dinner
and it was out only short time when
a verdict of mot guilty" was returned.

the state and Hugo Goeldner ably rep
resented the defendant.

TRANSVAAL AFFAIRS.
Cape Town LOyalfsts Indorse Alfred
Miners Position.


AT Cape Town Africa, yesterday evening
a meeting of 1000 royalsts, under The
presidency of the mayor of Cape Town. was
held and adopted, with enthusiasm, resolu-
lions supporting Sir Alfred Miner governor
of the colony and British high commission
er in South Africa, in his recent negotia
lions with President Kruger. and thanking
the Canadians and Australians for their Of
fers of assistance. An immense overflow
meeting was also held
The former, at which Right Hon. Sir John
Gordon Sprigg, former premier of the col
ony, and numerous other political leaders,
We're present, was addressed by several Jo-
hanneSburgers.
Sir Gordon Sprigg also addressed the
meeting, declaring that unless Sir Alfred
Miner was absolutely supported there was
danger that the Cape colony would secede
from the empire. He declared himself con-
WINGED that Great Britain was solidly be-
hind the imperial secretary of state for the
colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, whose re-
cent speech before the unionists of Bir-
mingham, England dealing with the Trans
vaa1 problem, he warmly commended.
/. The conferences between President Kru-
ger and Fischer, member of the executive
council of the Orange Free State, who was
the bearer of compromise suggestions from
the Free State, in the matter of the dis
putes between the Transvaal and Great
Britain, have been concluded at Pretoria.
The general impression is that Fischer's
mission has been successful. He afterward
conferred with Mr.. Conyngham Greene, the
British displomatic agent at Pretoria.
The Pail Mall Gazette says 1t has discoy-
cred in London two members of the Clam
na-Gael from the United States. who are en-
route to the TransvaaI and trying to enlist
money and men in support of the Beers
The Johannesburg correspondent of the
Standard says:
President Kruger, 1t is understood here
persists in his demand for arbitration as
an Essential condition In any settlement
In the meantime the Transvaal continues
buying provisions and war material. and II
has arranged with the Netherlands Railway
Company to have absolute control of the
railway lines IN the Orange Free State in

Governor Roosevelt of New York contfn-
ued his eastward journey yesterday spend
ing the day in Milwaukee, where he was
given an ovation. He participated in
flower parade that was witnessed by 200 900
people, and was entertained royalty by the
officials of the city ard its citizens alike
In the afternoon he was the guest of the
chamber of commerce and delivered an adj
dress. In the course of it he spoke as fol-
lows
AT the end of the nineteenth century as
this country moves along on the road to
greatness, she has many serious problems
to face, and when she needs men to carry
out her purposes she can call upon men of
the best thought and WISDOM just such men
as l am now addressing. You of the great
west hold in your hands the future of this
nation. 1t rests with you, and you will |
know, show yourselves equal to the task
We always have with US our home prob
lens, and we should aim always to get into

genius or brilllancy atone for a lack
of the element OF feariessness, of decency.
