w AIFS in DEMAND.
Many Applicants For the Children
Brought Here From New
York.
Homes Found For Eight Youngsters
and the Demand is Then Far
From Being Met.

The Pilgrim lobby this forenoon re.
sembled the scenes attendant upon a
convention of some sort, in the neigh
borhood of 100 people having assembled
there. The reason for the gathering
was the presence in the city of an agent
of New York juvenile asylum and
several children for whom he was seek
ing desirable homes.
announcing that the agent would be
in the city today with carload OF
waits brought people from all sections
of this and adjoining counties who de-
sired to secure children. Mr.. f. Wright,
western agent for the New York juve-
nile asylum, with headquarters in Chs
cago. was in charge of the children, as
sisted by his son, Mr.. Charles Wright.
They started to Iowa with twenty three
children, but by the time this city wa
reached all had been disposed of except
eight. These We're four boys and four
girls, ranging in age from to II years.
They We're bright and neat appearing
children, and there was a general eff
fort among the large number OF appli-
cants to secure first choice.
Mr.. Wright is very particular re-
garding the families in whose care he
places the youngsters. and every appli-
cant was compelled to answer list OF
questions as long as on the average

lpany No trouble was found in finding
what are believed to be good homes for
the eight children brought here. some
of them being given to Hardin, Story
and Marshall county families. There
was much disappointment on the part
/ of some of the people because, they
could not be supplied, but their applica-

cerned, but two of the girls who are

the cannon on the parade ground at

Presidential salute. signifyfng that
President Mckinley had arrived at the

In the party were President and Mrs.
Mckinley, Vice President and Mrs.
Hobart and son, Attorney General
Griggs and Mrs. Griggs and their two
daughters and Secretary of the Inte-
rior Hitchcock.
Mrs. Mckinley presented handsome

but the heavy, dropping lids give them
a triangular shape. The prevailing ex-
preston of his countenance is sad.
Still it shows mental serenity. His de-
fects are diffuseness, too great facility
and drawn-out style. He does not
force his conviction in swift. strong
flashes. He is not graphic and never
goes direct to the root of the matter.
But he is not tedious The beautiful
voice saves him from that. 1t makes
the listener patiently follow him
through the mazes of argument, deduc-
ton and demonstration. His arrange
ment of arguments is cumulative.
The presiding judge rubbed him often
against the grain and often begged him
not to be diffuse, not to speak so
much about his own concerns, but to
keep to the Dreyfus affair. Picquart
! respectfully accepted these reproofs,
saying he only spoke of his own con-
Germs in order to vindicate his char
acter and to prove himself a creditable
witness. He spent two hours yesterday
and four to-day in giving evidence and
remaining guardian angel of Dreyfus,
standing between him and the i'm
/ placable enemies who sit on the front
seat of the witnesses.
In this row are Generals Mercier and
Roget, and many field officers who are
still unheard. How bitterly and
hatingly they eyed Picquart to-day.
General Billot, however, did not ap
parently share in their ferocious feel
ings. He seemed unruffled by Pic
quarts statements Billot was on the
staff of Bazaine in Mexico and escaped
from Metz. He is a born politician,
and is always guided by the instinct of
! self-preservation. But he is not bad
man. He took from Metz to lures in
1870 a commission as colonel which
| Marshal Bazaine had signed, showed
it to Gambetta and then tore it up.

the authorities held no strong evidence
against the Indian beyond the fact that
he was believed to have had a gun.
which he had mysteriously disposed of
in some manner when he was arrested.
1t has since been learned that Estu-
dero, on the day following the murder
of Veitinger, attempted to steal young
squaw at Ell Cajon, not far from Vel
fingers place, and became involved in
a row with another Indian who de-
Tended the squaw. In the trouble the
woman's protector secured possession
of the gun which Estudero attempted
to use, and this has since come into
possession of Sheriff Jennings, along
with much other evidence which al
most conclusively fixed the crime upon
Estudero.
The gun is believed to be the weapon
formerly owned by the murdered Ger
man, and which could not be found in
the ruins of the burned cabin In the
effort to find this gun deputy sheriff
was compelled to travel hundreds of
miles over the mountains of Lower
California in a search for the Indian
who took it from Estudero. The dep
uty also brought back information that
will be of great assistance to the au-
thorities. Sheriff Jennings claims
that stronger circumstantial evidence
against Estudero would be hard to
find

companied by fog in which the Erin
lost sight of the Shamrock. Heavy seas

LINGTON HOTEL WASHING
TON. Aug 1S.-In a report re-

LlNGTON HOTEL, WASHING
TON. Aug. 1S-In a report re-
~ ceived at the Navy Department
from Rear Admiral Howison,
that officer describes the tension exist
ing between the Transvaal and Great
Britain and his report indicates that
war may be precipitated by the hot
EeGdedness of the Beers.
Though Rear Admiral Howison was
not sent to the Transvaal upon any
diplomatic mission he went to that
country when the Chicago arrived at
.Delagoa Bay last month and Joined the
ship at Cape Town, after having made
a careful study Of the conditions pre-
vauing in sections through which he
passed. Because cf the important
recommendation made by the rear ad-
miral and his statements respecting
the conditions Of the Outlanders. the
authorities are disirclined TO make his
report public. 1t would not be surpris-
ing in the event of war if the British
Government requested the United
states to take care of its interests in
The Transvaal and a ship from the
South Atlantic station win undoubtedly
be sent TO Delagoa Bay 10 look out for
American interests.
According 10 Rear Admiral Howison
there can only be one result of a war
between Great Britain and the South
African republiC-the absorption of the
latter country. The Beers are deter
mined. however, to fight for their indie
pendence. They migrated years ago to
their present homes in order TO escape
foreign domination and. they are de-
termined to maintain their independ-
ence or die in it's defense 1t is appar
ent that Rear Admiral HowisOn sympa-
thizes with the Outlanders, as he says
they pay five-sixths of the taxes and
represent three ffths Of the wealth of
the country There is no doubt. he
thinks. that the Boer Government is
very favorably inclined toward Amert-
can citizens. But it cannot extend priv
ueges To them not accorded TO citizens
Of other nations because of the appli-
cation of the most favored nation
clause and the necessity of treating all
foreigners alike.
Rear Admiral Howison describes the
raineo as fabulousIy rich. and devotes
portion OF his report to the charac-
teristics Of the Beers. He says they
are very superstitious, and mentions
the declination of the Volksraad to pass
a bill for Kidding the country of the
grasshopper scourge and for overeom-
ing the effects Of drought the reason
given being that it would be unwise to
attempt 70 thwart the will Of ProYt-
dence.
1t is apparent from reading the rear
admiraTs report that he believes the
Beers have put themselves in, as good
condition of readiness as possible, but
II is evident he sees but one outcome
to a war-their subjugation.

Colonel Panizzardi makes use of that

Recent Wholesale Discharges Have
Caused the United Machinists

tonight. Frederick Kunzelman, an
official of the local Machinists' Asso-

sale discharges at the ship yards were
made for the purpose Of intimidating
the men, Recently 500 employees were
discharged from the various depart

that many more would follow The
reason given by the firm was the scar

man asserts that the machinists are
not affected by this shortage and that
there is enough work to keep them busy
for two years. He says further that
the employees were preparing to de-
