have an artillery the strength of
which is already being felt

TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON.
Sentence Imposed on "Bfll" Jennings
for Train Robbery.

HARTvILLE, Mo-, June 3.-Twenty
years Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary was the punishment imposed by the
jury here to-day in the case o. "BilP' Jen-
nings, otherwise Harry Glenn, another Of
the gang which robbed Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis express train at Macomb,
No. on Jan. 8 last. Jake Fegely and John
Kennedy had previously been convicted.
Jennings, or Glenn, IS the man whom the
detectives believed to be "Bill' Ryan, of the
old James gang, but in this they prove to
have been in error. The convict is a hard
ened criminal and has served terms in the
penitentiaries at Salem, Ore; Saltwater,
Mimi, and in Nebraska, in each case for
violent crimes. While In jail in Kansas City
charged with highway robbery the old GRIM
inal made the acquaintance Of Jack Ken
nedy, who was also in jail, and 1t was
through Kennedy that he became identified
with the Cracker Neck band Of train rob-
bers. Before his case was given to the jury
to-day Jennings created a scene in the
courtroom. He declared that his attorneys
had proved unfaithful, and that they were
willing 10 see him railroaded to the peni-
tentiary. He demanded new lawyers and a
retrial. but Judge Cox refused to heed his
demands.

British Troops I'm south Africa Not to

LONDON, June 23-The secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain,
in the House of Commons to-day, in an
swering a question, denied the government
was reinforcing the British troops in South
Africa to total of 10000 men.
The Shropshire regiment has been or
dered to hold itself in readiness for imme-
date embarkation for Cape Town.
A dispatch from Cape Town to the Out
look says: 1.-The tension is extreme. Busi-
ness is at standstill and the general feel
ing is that England must promptly bring
matters to an issue. The league will have
no difficulty in preventing meetings sup
porting Sir Alfred Miners attitude. the de-
sire being to refrain from embarrassing
the imperial authorities. The Orange gov
ernment is urging the Transvaal to make
further concessions. Many people consider
that Sir Alfred Miners franchise proposals
are useless without the granting Of twelve
seats in the mining centers and the right to
speak English in the Volksraad. Otherwise
it will be impossible to select representative
men. Failing these concessions the Jo-
hannesburgers say they prefer treaty pro-
vidng security and judicial and educa-
tional reforms.

four seats to the representation of the gold

CHICAGO, June 23-Mayor Harrison de-
clares that Illinois may decide whether Will

letter he has written to d. Turnbolt, a
Democrat Of Lincoln, Ill. Mr.. Turnbolt
wrote the mayor asking him why the per-

ernor and the mayor should not be settled
so that united Democracy could work for
the national ticket next year. The letter In
part follows:
II agree with you thoroughly that Gov
ernor Altgeld and i should settle our per-
sonal Misunderstanding through personal
means. This is acting on the theory that
We nave any personal misunderstanding. As
Tar as am concerned / have absolutely no
personal differences with the Ex-Governor.

sonally would despair Of success in carry
ing the State of Illinois for the national
ticket OF 1900. Mr.. Bryan will undoubtedly

General Alger is in the race and to stay
to the end" said the Governor, "and you
can say in the strongest English you can
write am with him heartily and propose
to do all can personally and with my
friends to aid his candidacy. As General
Alger put it to me. he will be a candidate
il he has assurances for no more than one
vote in the Legislature. Alger Is on the
right side OF the two greatest questions
Of the day. 1 said to him that / could not
personally support a man who would not
declare himself on the right side of those
two public questions. The two questions on
which / wanted 10 know his position are
those of trusts and election OF United States
senators by direct vote of the people. I
wish to say that the general is absolutely
sound on both these questions. General
Alger believes firmly that United States
senators should be elected by direct vote
of the people"
