London. Jan. IA Capetown dis
patch confirms the report that the
johannesburg meeting on Saturday
was broken up by bands OF armed and
organized Beers, and gives the fol-
lowing account of the affair:
The Beers occupied the building quite
an hour before the commencement Of
the meeting. and from the galleries
threw down boxes, chairs and tables
upon tn e Uitlanders in the arena.
Within 10 minutes terrible fighting was
in progress. The whole interior was
wrecked, the police remaining passive
spectators, and the wreckaCe made 4
huge pile on the main floor of the hall.
At one stage in the fighting the police
caught a young Boer trying to set fire
to the debris, but they liberated him
after a mild rebuke.
AL tHiS point lTeSn contingent OF
Beers invaded the hall, fourshins
sticks and iron bars and attacking
every Uitlander they came across un-
armed. The Uitlanders made for the
door, escaping after terrific scufilc, In

hall they formed up. waiting for fur
ther attack.
The Beers then held a meeting inside

to the police barracks, cheering the
government and hooting the Uitlanders
Huge crowds thronged the streets
throughout the night. The censorship
at johannesburg is very strict. but the
latest kilograms say that many scenes

ugly. when the police commandant
persuaded the Beers to depart. the
English remaining behind and singing
the national anthem. Two Englishmer
who were arrested after the meeting

President Kruger and the Boer au-
thorities are said to be greatly annoyed

Addicks Men Claim Their Candidnt,
the Regular Republican Nominee.

Addicks Men Claim Their Candidate
the Regular Republican Nominee.
Dover Del. Jan. 1.-THE Republican
members OF the legislature, who num-
Der 81 Of the total membership OF 81,
did not agree upon a candidate for
United States senator to succeed Hon.
George Gray. The general assembly be-
gins voting for a senator today, and In
the line Of political procedure a caucus
was arranged for last evening. The
only Republicans who met. however.
were the Union or Addicks Republi-
cans. and Is Of this faction gathered In
the house Of representatives. The meet
Ing was presided over by State Senator
j. Frank Alice. and the members voted
unanimously for j. Edward Addicks.
They contend that their gathering was
the regular caucus of the party, and
that It's outcome makes Addicks the Re
publican nominee In this, however, the
Dupont element does not concur. The
Democratic members held a minority
caucus last evening. and after several
Of that party had withdrawn. owing to
their sentiments on the silver question,
the remainder voted unanimously for
George Gray.
The houses voted separately today, and
the joint ballot of the assembly will be-
gin tomorrow. 1t is expected that at
beast II regulars will vote for Dupont.
The Gray vote will be about Is. Inas-
much as II has been established that
"a majority OF the members present"
can elect senator, the deadlock which
will undoubtedly occur may be broken
before the end OF the 60 days session Of
