ment OF land office fees and commissions
only. He also introduced a bill that b, s
been before congress for the past three
sessions for renewing annuities to the
Sisseton and Wahpeton and Santee
Sioux, with the Pettigrew provision for
the payment Of attorneys fees stricken
out. A bill comforting jurisdiction on
the United States district and circuit
courts over crimes committed on Indian
reservations has been introduced by Mr..
Gamble. It will relieve this state Of
great expense il it becomes 9 law. All

SOME UGLY CHARGES.
British Accused Of Barbaruus Pract ices
At Elandslaagte.

British Accused Of B~Arbarous Practices
at Eiandsiaagte.
New YORK, Dec. Ga dispatch 10
The World from London says: Ugly
charges are made against British SOL
diers at Elandslaaste by u correspond.
ent Of the leading Amsterdam paper,
Algemein Handelsblad, who visited the
Boer prisoners aboard the guardship
Penelope, in Simons bay. 1t is alleged
that the prisoners and the wounded
were robbed of everything valuable,
even wedding rings, and that in one
ase a Beers finger was cut off to get a
ring. The correspondent says:
Never have l thought Englishmeu to
be such brutes. Imagine that about w
men were behind a kopje when 3OO
Lancers attacked them. The Beers had
to surrender to such overwhelming
numbers and threw down their wea-
pons in token Of submission. But the
captain Of the Lancers shouted, Kill
the -" whereupon a tremendous
massacre ensued. Sousenthaler, the
only prisoner among them, was spared
because he had remained fat on the
ground"
Remarkable confederation of this
charge is furnished by a letter written
by Private Dolan of the Fifth Lancers,
about obviously the same incident at
Elandslaagte. He describes how the
Lancers charged a kopje. adding:
"As soon as they saw the Lancers
they threw up their rifles aud ammuni-
ton and cried friends But it was no
go, for they fired on the Red Cross, and
we had no mercy for them"

Official Paper OF CITY aKD COUNTY.
rRkMs Up SUBSCRIPTION

A great deal has beer said iu republi-
can papers OF the state about the man
agement OF the soldiers home at Hot
Springs under Col. Linn, especially on
corning his interference with the old
soldiers voting in hat town. Z. DAILY.
an old soldier and inmate Of the home.
writes to his home paper, the .Alpena
Journal. Of the lst inst. concerning the
matter. the following which is no doubt
much nearer the truth thar anything
the republican papers have had on the
subject:
The board OF management, at whose
head is Col. Clough, thought that those
who had homes elsewhere had 10 right
TO vote the town or county ticket. The
only one who did anything to stop the
soldiers from voting vas Col. Clough, a
red hot republican, who wrote q letter to
forth the reasons OF the writer and OF
managers in taking the stand they did.
You must remember that Col. Clough is
presiding elder 10 the NJ. f. church and
aired hot republican, and one OF the
three men who pas ed the famous reso.
lutions condemnlng Gov. Lee for asking
the president for the return OF our boys
from the Philippines-so there IA no
politics 10 the matter whatever.
1T is SAID Linn vent before the cleo
ton board OF the city and demanded
that the old soldiers names be stricken
off. Now what Linn did do was TO have
his " name taken off, and made no
demand in reference TO any other man
except to state the action OF the board.
| heard Linn tell the doctor on the
morning OF the election that aLy who
could not walk could ride in the home
wagon to the polls and vote l heard
him say this.
ut Is further said some OF the old COL
diers have found fault. Yes, that is
true. Several have been fired since l
came here Tor persistent drunkenness.
Others find fault because the colonel
and his honored lady, the mstron, are
trying to have the men act az gentlemen.
All are not republicans; many are popu-
lists, and they are not the ones that do
the kicking. either. II the statements
we're true, Linn would have done wrong.
But the statements are false and only
false
