Special to the Register
Cumberland, Nd, February 24.-John
Allen created a sensation here this af
ternoon. Last night Allen appeared
before Justice Gender and asked to be
committed to Jail, stating that he had
a confession to make to States Attor-
ney Pearre. This afternoon, Allen was
closeted with the States Attorney, and
while the officials are reticent it is said
Allen told Pearre there were two men
in this city who murdered Preston E.
Haldeman on the morning Of December
25 1898, as Haldeman was getting off
the train with a satchel full of money
just at daylight to pay the employees
at Franklin mines, this county.
Allen is alleged to have told Pearre
that the men who committed the crime
had threatened his life because he
knew their secret. He says he went to
Jail to protect himself.
After the conference, Allen was taken
back to Jail and it IS rumored that
arrests will be made before morning.
Allen is poorly dressed and aged
about So.
Haldeman. who was paymaster for
Franklin mines, was sandbagged as he
stepped from the train and his satchel
jerked from his hand. ALI efforts to
run down the perpetrators of the crime
have proved fruitless. Allen lives at
Eckhart, this county, and is miner.

NOTHING IMPORTANT
Developed at Yesterdays Session of the
Adams Inquest

NEW YORK February 24.-The inquest
in the Adams case was continued to-day
and proved of less interest than any Of the
previous hearings. Practically nothing
tending to throw light upon the murder
Of Mrs. Adams. or the attempted murder
Of Cornish was revealed. The day was
devoted entirely to direct or implied de-
malls of testimony offered by Cornish.
Molineux was the principal in this respect,
denying many Of the allegations that Cor
nish made yesterday. Col Austin also
made rather an important point la deny
ing that Barnet ever IN the slightest i'm
plicated MoHneux as inferred by Cornish
yesterday. On the whole the testimony
may be said to have been favorable TO

Washington, February 24.-Secretary
Gage said to-day that there was no
truth whatever in the published state
ment that another bond issue was in
contemplation. He pointed out that
there is now an available cash bal
ance in the treasury of over s271,00,-
600. and although the expenditures are
now and for some time are expected
to be in excess of the receipts, the
treasury situation is not such as TO
warrant any apprehension for the near
future.

The First Act of War.

Hostilities have begun in South Africa,
the Beers destroying an armored train and
killing fifteen English soldiers. There is
great confusion in the news doubtless re-
sulting from the fact that the telegraph
lines have been placed under government
control. where they have not been cut in
the field by the Beers. The London war
office naturally guards its secrets closely
and there is much guessing as to the move
ment of troops and the size of armies.
There seems to be grave fear In England
that the Beers will cause a panic in the
Natal towns before they are checked. In
deed, now that the first blow has fallen
the unQuestioned capacity of the Beers as
raiders and fighters is being exaggerated
In the minds of the people and serious dis
asters are apprehended There will prob
ably be some reverses for the English arms
in the earlier stages of the campaign, what
ever may be its final result

And thence removed his silken hat and
said:
What sad reminders come to quench our
pride
OF fond associations swept aside!
Where are the shouters lusty-lunged and

cheer?
My memory sadly searches through the
past;
My friends this year are not the friends of

What strange amalgamations must we

And who shall say before the year is done

It is ineY1tab1e. Il is the law Of nature and
the law Of nature is the law of God"
This is not very far removed from nom
sense. THE peaceful farmers of the Trans
yaal are n6turSn the verge Of being forced

lates to the betterment of their domain. II
England were to triumph completely to-
morrow not a single Boer would find 1t
necessary to leave home. On the contrary,
the inducements for the Boer to remain
and till his soil would be worthy the at
tention and acceptance of any intelligent
man in the world. The liberalIzing of the
so-called Boer Republic means benefit for
the original and every other squatter.
Prof. Dabney believes "a great crime Is
about to be perpetrated." and then adds.
naively, at is inevitable. 1t Is the law of
nature, and the law of nature Is the law Of
God" Why shudder at a crime II it is or
dered of God? Is 1t not almost impious to
charge that the Almighty works through
the agencies of crime His wonders to per-
FORM" When the great poets make Pro-
metheus and Mephisto strike that note peo-
pie of the class of Prof. Dabney are grieved.
Sympathy for the weak is a most noble
feeling. But there should never be con-
fusion prejudice to the rights of the
strong. The weak are not always right.
The strong are not always wrong. Give
each side its due. When the weak are
wrong they deserve and should receive cor
rection. Jack" said one friend to another

The President and the Tauals.

President Mckinley yesterday, in the
course Of his speech at Minneapolis, said
of the Filipinos under American sover-
eighty:
They will not be governed as vassals, or
serfs, or slaves. They will be given a gov
eminent of liberty, regulated by law, hon
estiy administered, without depressing ex-
action. taxation without tyranny. justice
without bride, education without distinc-
ligious worship. and protection in life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
1t may be wondered whether Aguinaldo's
juntas will circulate this forecast from the
highest representative American as freely
as they do the pessimistic utterances of
Edward Atkinson and his associates Of the
Aid Society. They have not thus far hes
itated 10 proclaim all the malevolent pur-
poses of the United States. as declared for
them by their faithful friends of Boston.
Ihey have promised the misguided follow
ers In the Taga1 army that only by contin-
ued fighting could they hope to save their
lives and liberties. They have depicted the
Americans as worse than the Spaniards
And with excellent reason from heir point
OF view, for the Boston anti-imper,aiists
have assumed the role of interpreters for
all the people of this republic and guar
dams of the public conscience and unhap-
PLY for both sides the Tagal .un,ss be-
Heve their ISLANDERS. Just whether they will
show any confidence whatever in the Pres
dents words may therefore depend upon
the hint they receive from their Boston
allies as to the credibility of the chief ex-
ecutive and his reliability as a Judge of
future events and public sentiments.

AKuinaldO's Mistake.

At first glance one might reasonably sus
pect that the latest proclamation of Aguin-
aldo, in which he expresses fervent pray
er for the success Of the democratic party
III the Unitet, States. was a wicked inven-
ton Of the en- emies Of the Filipino chieftain,
or, conceivably, of the democratic party.
Certainly nothing could be more ill-timed
or ill-judged than this manifesto. 1t loses
sight Of the fact that, however much the
people of this country may differ as to the
merits of the struggle in which our soldiers
are engaged in the Philippines. and what
ever may be their judgment as to the ulti-
mate disposition of those islands, the great
majority of our people believe in a vigor-
Gus prosecution of this war. now that it has
been entered upon. For Aguinaldo to pro-
claim his hope that the democrats may tri-
umph in the elections would be to hang a
rather hefty milestone around the demo-
cratic neck. II the American people really
thought that the suggestion was made In
good faith.
