Cutting of telegraph Wires Makes
Facts From south Africa Hard to
Get.
London Oct. 16.-Cutting of tele-
graphic communications at various
points in the neighborhood of the scene
of hostilities in South Africa made the
receipt of reliable news today-meager.
Many circumstantial stories of CON
hicts are published, but almost imme-
diately denied. The Indications are
that Kimberly is not only cut off from
communication, but actually invested
by the Beers. There are, however, 5000
British troops there, and the Boei
force is thought to be only about of the
same strength, so not much anxiety is
felt concerning it's condition. Numerous
stories are afloat of serious fighting
there, but can not be traced to any re-
liable source.
Members of the stock and other ex-
changes and great banking and under
writing firms assembled at Guild Hall
today, convened by the mayor, to give
an expression of support of the govern
ment in its South African policy Reso-
lutions to that effect were enthusiasts
cally adopted. Patriotic demonstrations
also took place at Birmingham and
other points

laration that congress would provide
for a government of the islands, he
said: you should substitute parlia-

time when the colonies asked recogni-

claim that we had right to the islands
because we purchased them from dis

can not buy the Philippines after we
had armed them to fight Spain. He then
touched upon the silver question and
urged reaffirmation of the Chicago plat

stole Kentuck in 1906.

Bardwell KY, Oct. 16.-Bryan and
party left Carlo. H., this morning at Z.
Bardwell was the first stop and an en-
thusiastic crowd greeted the train. Bry-
an said in part:
Whether the next president Of the
United States is democrat depends
some on what you do in Kentucky this
year. Three years ago Kentucky did
not help the democratic party to any
great extent. believe the people voted
better than the country counted, and
am not sure but what we carried the
state,b but am sure we did not get it.
Kentucky is democratic state and we
have right to expect 1t to go demo-
cratic in 1900. But If the state goes re-
publican this fall 1t may be difficult to
carry 1t next year. You will encourage
the republicans and discourage the
democrats IL you try to divide the dem
ocratic party. You can not whip the re-
publicans by dividing the democratic
party. Do you realize on the triumph
of 1900 great questions depend? Do you
realize what republicans will bring to
this country? Do you realize that this
party is placing the dollar above the
man; that this party is encouraging
wealth and debasing man; do you rea-
lize the struggling poor are becoming
poorer. and the rich corporate power es-
Gaping taxation?"
Bryan vigorously denounced the war
in the Philippines and the present large
standing army. He also at some length
paid his respects to Mckinley. The an.

Detectives and Police Officers Look
ing for Train Robbers at Clinton.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Oct. 16.-All the attention of
the detectives and officials of the
Northwestern Railway Company and
American Express Company have been
focused on this city in the hunt for
clues which might lead to the identity
of the men who robbed the Northwest
ern fast mail Friday night. Saturday
night Northwestern train No. /, which
arrived here at 10 o'clock, brought a
number OF Pinkerton detectives,
Thomas Adams, marshal of DeKalb;
Detectives Mulaney and Burke, of the
Northwestern, and Postoffice Inspectors
Stuart and Gould, to Clinton. on a tip
given by the police hVe which was sent
to the Northwestern officials Saturday
afternoon, and Immediately the search
for slues was abandoned at DeKalb.
The tip was that section foreman on
the Northwestern road found bat
tered gold watch at the Rock Island
crossing, just across the river from
Clinton. The watch looked as though
it had been through an explosion and
is said to have been identified as one
that was in the express safe. This in
formation sent the officers scurrying to
Clinton, abandoning the search at De-
Kaib.
Sunday the detectives and other Of
ficials went to the Rock Island juno
tion and spent all day in searching in
that vicinity for additional clues. They
examined the railway track for several
miles in either direction and also
searched in the woods and corn fields
for the contents of the safe or any other
clue which would assist in running
down the robbers. Just what the Off
cials found has not been made known
but it is said they have enough evidence
to lead them to believe the robbers
have visited this city and that the
search here will be vigorously prose-
cuted. So far no arrests have been
made, but it is said some startling de-
velopments may be looked for soon. In
the meantime the search for evidence
still goes on and will not be abandoned
until the guilty parties are located or
until 1t is proven that the clues OBJ
tanned here are false.
The fact that such a good clue has
been secured here has caused no end
of excitement in this city and the
movements of the officers are watched
with the closest attention.

Clinton. Oct. 16.-Detectives from the
Pinkerton agency, express and North
western Company are still here. The
opinion is general that the robbers are
in this city or near by. 1t is now said
two men who We're let out by the rail-
road company on account of debts are
suspected of the crime. Both live here
and are noted crooks. a pal. who oper-
ates the team, lives in Chicago. The
men said they would get even with the
company and would secure money from
the Northwestern without working for
it. They are perfectly familiar with an
engine and the block system and left
the city shortly before the hold-up.
They have not been seen since. Detec-
tives and the police of Clinton are try
ing to locate them.

Londcn, Oct. 16.-After three days of

A high military official is quoted as
saying that England now has the

of them assume that the delay will be
