n AGNANIMiTY TO A FOE

Seldom has their been in political
lie such a display of ~magnaniruitv tc
a toe as was shown to w. Z. Sharon
and he Newlands crowd at the meet
ing Thursday of the Silver party
State Central Committee. With a
mao lty Of thirty to nine on the
molten to take the resolution from

Stewart people to have administered
to TIL self confessed betrayer of his
part, any punishment they saw fit.
knoNing that Sharon was not the
real ulP1it and hearing his plea for
mercy. The committee gave him a
week time.
Ever the vote to adjourn the meet
ing fCr one week by the narrow vote
OF 25 10 was a Censure. The senti-
ment Of the committee was so strong
a8airrt Sharon, after he had publicly
acknowledged his guilt, that it is
surpr sing that he should have cared
TO remain longer III the committee.
The rebuke that Senator LIVING
stOn alone administered to him
should have been sufficient to have
made him resign his place. The Sen
ator said, IF that charge was made
'agairst me and I had confessed that
was no longer supporting the plat
form cf the Silver party, I would not
wait to be asked to resign"
Yet Senator Livingston out of
charity voted for the adjournment.
SUI General Kelly, who also
voted or the adjournment, gave un-
equlvocal expression to his views.
He Id that he considered himself
bound by his platform to the support
OIL Sci. ator Stewart and that any nom
inee Q. the Silver party convention or
any member of the committee who
was rot supporting the Senator was
guilty OF treason. He favored an ad
journrlert in the interest Of fair plav.
Attcrney-Genera Jones, who also
voted fOr adjournment, said that if h e
was acting for himself he would un-
ingly vote for the resolution.
He thought it best that an adjourn
ment should be taken to allow the
men be represented to give expires ,
sion to their views.
Governor Sadler was equally posi- {

He, with other Stewart men,
voted o adjourn the meeting.

Cape Town, Oct. "a Although the
war between Great Britain and The
Transvaal has only been in progress 10
days there has been two battles where
the Boer forces and the British have
met face to face.
The first was at Glencoe, where the
Beers attempted to take the place. In
that fight 1900 British troops fought a
force Of Beers variously estimated at
from 1000 to 5000 men.
The Beers were driven from their
stand on high hill with loss of @OO
killed aud wounded. the British loss
was at first placed at about 200, but
was finally cut to 81 killed and 1jl
wounded.
The second battle took place Sunday
at Elandslaagte where the British re-
captured the place.
The Beers weie strongly entrenched
and fought with their wontad bravery.
They seized every opportunity of coming
into action and run to serve their guns
whenever they could get chance
The British captured tine Boer camp
with tents, wagons, horses and also two
guns The Boer losses were considera-
bic, including a number of wounded and
unwounded prisoners. Among the form
er are General Jan Koch ana Pet jon
bert, nephew OF Commandment General
Joubert.
Later dispatches from the front say
that the Boer losses at Elandslaagte
were considerable and the British lost
about 100 men killed and wounded.
A large number of Beers were cap
tured.

between the parties, each having Il
little over $50 to pay. An interesting

get the latter before she agrees to ar

for some time, as both sides are appa.

attack, although from dispatches re-
ceived here it seems 'as If the moye-
ment of patrol, and every cloud Of
dust made by the herd of cattle, were
turned into general advance by both
armies.
The delay tends for good. inasmuch
as it gives time for further negotia.
tions, and today's Indications ap-
parently show a willingness on the
part of the British government to con-
tinue to utilize diplomacy. A we'll de-
fined conviction is prevalent that the
foreign office is trying to discover
way out of the impasse which has been
created by the admitted mistakes and
miscalculations, and it is evident that
the peace advocates and peace counsels
are gaining ground.
While the distaste for war evidently
increases In Great Britain, dispatches
from the scene of possible hOstilities
grow more and more threatening. Ad-
vices from Pretoria describe the Trans
vaal organs as crying for impossible
terms. and President Kruger referring
to the prospective struggle as a means

NEW YORK, Oct. "a special to the

saving the life of an American soldier,
Major-General Otis has granted full
pardon to Domingo Magno, a Filipino
prisoner who was sentenced by a
Spanish court in 1897 for penal servi-
tude for six years for robbery. Magno
suffered confinement for the alleged
offense for four years prior to his trial
and conviction.
During the attact on Manila last
February by insurgent sympathizers,
the prisoner saved the life of an
American soldier. and the provost
marshal-general reported that the
prisoner had displayed good conduct
during the time he had been under
surveillance by the Americans.

which, if true, probably indicates that
the South African Republic is about to

| cablegram from Newcastle, Natal
which says that the farmers that ar
rived there from the Buffalo river
state that the Beers are returning to
their homes; leaving patrols along the
river. The commanders still remain
on the free state border. The dispatch
also says that the Beers do not intend
to attack that place, sud that the
evacuation OF the town was premature.
A dispatch from Durham also states
that the eXitement there has abated.
owing to the Beers holding back from
the frontier.
This retirement of the Beers is what
the British authorities have expected,
as their defective commissariat would
prevent them from long remaining
massed along the border. Telegrams
