No One Was Injured,

Cape Town, Jan. 17.-Telegrams from
Johannesburg are censored; but so far
as ascertainable nobody was seriously
injured in the disturbance between the
Burghers and Afrikanders, and the Brit
ish residents there who held a public
meeting to ventilate the grievances of
the Uitlanders, and which resulted in a
free fight, Efforts are being made to
trace the instigators of the affray. Two
Englishmen were arrested, but they have
since been discharged from custody.

ADDICKS' AUTOMAT0NS.
Nominate Him for Senate in So
Called Caucus.


Dover. Del. Jan. 1.-THE Republican
members of the legislature, who number
Il of the total membership of 50, did not
agree last night upon candidate for
United States senator to succeed Sen
ator Gray. A caucus was arranged, but
the only Republicans who met however,
were the union, or Addicks Republicans,
and 10 of these gathered in the house Of
representatives.. 1t was rumored that
several regular, or anti-Addicks Re
pubIcans. who favor the election of Col
onel Henry A Dupont. would go into
caucus. but they did not do SO.
fractional lines were strictly drawn,
and the regulars took no action what
ever in the selection Of a candidate.
The union meeting was presided over by
state Senator Alice. who is the union
Republican state chairman, and the
members voted unanimously for j. E.
Addicks. They contend that their
gathering was the regular caucus of the
party and that its outcome makes Ad-
dicks the regular nominee.
In this, however. the Dupont element
does not concur. The Democratic men,
bers held a minority caucus, and, after
several of that party had withdrawn,
owing to their sentiments on the silver
question. the remainder voted unani-
mously for George Gray.
The house will vote separately today,
and the joint ballot of the assembly will
begin on Wednesday. Aside from the 10
Addicks voters, it is expected that at
least II regulars will vote for Dupont.
The Gray vote will be about 16. AS it
has been established that majority
of the members present can elect a
senator. the deadlock, which will un-
doubtedly occur may be broken before
the end of the 60 days session of the
legislature.

New Haven. Jan. 1I.-Professor w. G.
Sumner OF Yale university last night
addressed. a large audience on the sub
jeCt of The Conquest of the United
States by Spain" II was an arraign-
ment of the expansion view, and pointed
out that, although the United States had
signally defeated Spain in "A military
war, yet the absolute unpreparedness
of this country for the problems now en-
forced upon us for solution was quite
otherwise than in keeping with ordinary
cOnquests. Spanish ideas and Span
ish policy must of necessity, in a meas
ure, enter into American policy, and we
are by force of circumstances compelled
to adopt the principles Of the old world
COlOniZing nations. He said that the
late war was nothing more nor less than
political jobbery, but it was carly found
necessary to find other arguments for
the peoples inspiration and support.
We now know, he said, that the con-
ditions reported in cuba were not true;
that We were not justified in our haste.
4 policy of haste is not statcsmanlike,
and now, all that lies beyond our own
policies is poorly advised and can lead
only to disaster.

talents for that kind of work. of which
we shall henceforward have more to
do than formerly, and the agents to

Washington, Jan. 17.--1n answer to Il
direct question, Secretary Alger, at the
close of the official day said that the
war department had taken no action in
the case of Commissary General Eagan,
and he declined to say one word as to
his intentions in the matter 1t was
apparent during the day that this matter
was receiving attention, and in fact the
commissary general himself spent some
time closeted with the secretary.

Three distinct lines of action We're
talked of as within the lire of prob
ability. The first was a strong letter of
reprimand to be addressed by the presi-
dent himself to General Eagan, stating
that but for the immunity he had prom
ised all witnesses before the commission
he would have courtmarualled him.
The second line was an actual court
martial, with the third court of in
quiry The purpose OF the latter would
be, it was said, to place upon military
tribunal the responsibility for deciding
whether or not General Eagan should
be tried by a cOurtmartial.

Looking back over the statistics of
1898, the criminologist of the Chicago
Tribune reports a gratifying decrease
in the crimes of embezzlement. for
gerry, defaulting aud bank -wrecking,
the amount OF last years stealings for
this country being little more than
half as much as in 1897 and lower than
any year since 1883. Such decrease
in crime is a pretty good measure of
the improvement of the times.
