DREIFONTETN, Orange Free State,
Sunday, March 11.-Gen. Roberts adj
vance yesterday across the scorching
plains from Poplar Grove to this place,
was marked by the most severe en-
gagement since crossing the Modder
river. The. Beers stubbornly contested
every foot of ground. only fleeing at
dusk. when Lord Roberts threw most
of his troops against the centre of
their weakened line.
At the point where Col. Broadwood
turned the Boer left he found himself
under the fire of their Founders.
The Beers. however. ultimately hoisted
the white flag. When Col Broadwood
advanced he was surprised to find the
Beers had taken advantage of the ces-
sation of fire to escape in the darkness.
The Transyaal prisoners showed they
were entirely surprised by Lord Rob-
erts' tactics.
A Free Slater, whose house President
Kruger occupied during the Boer flight
from Osfontein, said he complained to
the president about the depredationo
of the Transvaalers, whereupon the
president replied:
mo wonder we are beaten. The
burghers entered into the war to fight
for a righteous cause, but now they
have developed into horse and cattle
stealerS."

THE CORRESPONDENCE
Concerning Peace Between the South
African Presidents and Lord Sal
isbury.

LONDON, March 13.-A parlia-
mentary paper, containing the tele-
grams sent to the British government
by the Presidents of the South Afri-
can republic and the Orange Free
State, and Great Britain's reply there
to, was issued this afternoon. 1t
first gives the kilograms sent by the
two Presidents to the Marquis of Sal
isbury, as follows:
eBLOEMFONTEIN, March 5.-The
blood and tears of thousands who
have suffered by this war, and the
prospect of all moral and economic
ruin wherewith South Africa is now
threatened, make it necessary for
both belligerents to ask themselves.
dispassionately and as in the sight
of the triune God, for what are
they fighting, and whether the act of
each justifies all this appalling misery
and devastation?
with this object, and in view of
the assertions of various British
statesmen, to the effect that this war
was begun and is being carried on
with the set purpose of undermining
Her Majesty's authority in South
Africa, and of setting up an admins
tration over all of South Africa, indie
pendent of Her Majesty's government,
we consider it our duty to solemnly
declare that this war was undertaken
solely as defensive measure to main
tain the threatened independence of
the South African republic, and Is
only continued in order to secure and
maintain the incontestible independ-
ence of both republics as sovereign in
ternational states, and to obtain the
assurance that those Of Her Majesty's
subjects who have taken part with US

dent Did Not Know 1T.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The in
vestigation of charges that certain fed
eral appointees are polygamists came
to close to-day by an agreement for
an unanimous report from the House
Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads, which conducted the investiga-
ton. The report has been drawn by
Representative Mcpherson, of Iowa,
and will be presented to the House
and made public later to-day or to-
morrow 1t is understood to hold that
at the time the appointments were
made the President was not aware
that the appointees were charged with
polygamy AS to the facts of the
polygamus status of appointees, the
report states that the common repute
in the communities in which they lived
was that the parties were polygamists,
but that there is a want of definite
and conclusive evidence.

LONDON, Marcn l5.-lne OulIeu
States Government, at the request of
President Kruger and President Steyn,
has offered to the British govern
ment its services as mediator, with
the view of bringing about peace in
South Africa.
The United States Charge daft
fairies, Henry White, saw. Lord Sails
bury at the Foreign Office this eve
ming, and received a formal reply
from the British government, declin-
ing the good offices of the United
States in regard to peace. 1t was I'M
derstood the reasons of the Premier
are identical with those already cabled
to the Associated Press.
The interview between Mr.. White
and Lord Salisbury was very brief,
the Premier combining himself to a
very courteous verbal declination,
without entering into details.
The representations made to Great
Britain were so put that they assumed
nothing of a desire to intervene, but
simply transmitting the communica-
ton made to United States Consul Adj
Gilbert Hay, at Pretoria, with the ac-
companying assurances that anything
the State Department could do in the
interests of peace would be gladly
undertaken The we'll known aver
sion of the British government to any
foreign Intervention does not appear
to have been aroused.
The offer of mediation sprang from
Pretoria, where Mr.. Hay with the
other consuls subsequent to Presidents
Kruger and Steyn sending their peace
cablegram to Lord Salisbury, were
asked to endeavor to secure the good
Offices of their respective governments,
apparently with the view of bringing
outside influence to bear upon Lord
Salisbury's reply to the Boer over
lures. These seem to have been fruit
less, except in the instance of the
United States Consul, whose represen-
tations to Secretary Hay were for
warded, March II, to the United States
Embassy in London, with the instruc-
lions outlined above. These Mr..
White, the Charge d'Affaires PERSONAL
ly presented to Lord Salisbury, who
received them cordially, but without
committing himself to any definite
expression of opinion.
AS the Boer overtures had already
been answered to the effect that no
propositions including the retention of
the republics independence could be
considered, the presentation of the
American offer was already too late,
but the premier apparently, deemed it
a matter Of sufficient Importance to
put himself on record with a formal
reply In the House of Lords to-day,
the premier, Lord Salisbury, read the
British governments reply to Presi-
dents Kruger and Steyn. The con-
Guiding sentence is as follows:
Her Majesty's government can only
answer your honors' telegram by say
ing it is not prepared to assent to the
independence of either the South Afri-
can republic or the Orange Free
State"

"As to trusts, which the democrats
make an issue in the present cam
paign, cannot see why they have
any right to say that they are the
champion of antitrust measures. Ev-
cry law against trusts that has been
made has been made by the republi-
can.party. We agree that all large cor
porations should be put down when
they destroy competition and injure
labor. There is only one way to stop
them, and that is to give congress the
power to stop them and prohibit their
doing business in one state when or
ganized in another. This question was
brought up in congress recently in the
form of constitutional amendment,
and was promptly voted down by the
democratic members, with Bailey, of
Texas, at their head. Therefore, they
have no right to say that they are
against trusts. Their position is like
that of thief running and crying:
stop thief"

Grant, Gen. Arthur Gen. Garfield, and
now have Major Mckinley, all OF whom
have been soldiers; and yet the liber-
ties of the people have not been sub
verified by the army
81 have a warm friend in Washington
in the person of Captain Lamberton,
of the United States navy. He was
Dewey's chief of staff at the battle of
Manila. He arrived at Hong Kong
and reported to Dewey for service the
next day after the declaration of war,
and found the American ships being
loaded with ammunition, which had
been sent over from this country just
In time by far-seeing assistant secre-
tary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt.
He had found out that the fleet under
Dewey was badly in need of ammuni-
ton and had sent some to
Hong Kong, with orders to
the captain of the ship to turn the am
munition over to Dewey. This was
Dewey turned it over to the Spanish
wonder we call him our Teddy With
vast wealth he took up by choice the
life of a cowboy. He served his coun-
try ably in the navy department TAX
ing the second place in the depart
ment. When the war broke out he
raised regiment and took the second
place in that, being under Colonel
Wood. After the battle of San Juan,
Wood was made brigadier gen
eral, and only then was
Roosevelt made a colonel. Now,
he takes the second place on the
republican national ticket, but in 1904
we will call him from the second place
to the first and elect him president of
the nation.
About Alleged Imperialism.
Bryan says that somewhere along
the line imperialism has erept in.
Where is it that the parties separate?
Bryan himself left his regiment in
Florida and came to Washington,
where he lobbied and secured seven
teen democratic votes for the ratifica-
ton of the treaty win Spain. In this
way he approved of the measures of
the treaty. These had been consider
ed by the joint commission of the two
countries, and it had been decided that
since the American arms had de-
stroyed the power of Spain in the
Philippines we must take the respon-
sibilities for the actions of the natives
upon ourselves. Until after the time
the treaty was ratified the parties in
America were of the same mind. Then
the question of imperialism obtained
| it's start in the following way. The
Tagal soldiers under Aguinaldo at
tackled the outpost of a Nebraska regi-
ment, and a battle ensued, in which
men were killed and wounded. The
next day Aguinaldo issued an official
declaration of war against the United
States. That declaration has never
been recalled, but until it is our flag
will never be hauled down in the Phil
| ippines nor our men recalled from the
islands. When peace is established,
we will deal with the Philippines as
will be best for them, but not one in
habitant of the United States thinks
for minute of the founding OF an en-
pire in the Philippines"
Major Lacey closed his address with
an eulogy of Mckinley and Roosevelt
and plea for honest and conscien-
tious voting on November 6.

From Wednesdays Daily.

Hon. George II. Woodson, one of the
ablest colored men in the state, deliv-
cred an address before the colored
voters of Keb last evening. There
was good crowd present who enthusi-
istically applauded Mr.. Woodson's
pointed remarks on the political issues.
Those who went from Ottumwa were
John Harris, Joseph Mosely, Attorney
S. E. Holton and Joseph Hopkins.
When the party arrived in Keb they
We're well received. They proceeded
to the school house where both Mr..
Woodson and Mr.. Mosely spoke. In
the course of his remarks, the former,
referring to the candidacy of A. C.
Steck for congress on the democratic
ticket, said:
II am friend of Judge Steck and l
think he is friend of mine. A man
so well bred as Judge Steck deserves
to be in better company than he could
find on the democratic side of the
house. Mr.. Lacey will be in good
company because he belongs to the re-
publican side of the house. And, as
you know, the house of representatives
is actually divided by wide aisle,
with the republican sheep on one side
and the democratic and populist goats
on the other. Beside we owe it to
ourselves to spare him the embarrass-
ment which would be forced upon him
by Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas. The very first
thing upon coming into the hall after
taking the oath, Mr.. Steck would be
compelled by these gentlemen, if by
chance he should succeed in being
elected, to stand UP and be counted in
vote against brave Colonel Hender-
son, or the speakership of the house.
He would have to vote against giving
congress power to deal with the trusts.
He would have to vote against cut
ting down the representation in
congress from certain democratic
states on account of their disfranchise-
ment acts against the negro as provid-
ed in the Fourteenth amendment.
He would have to vote with his
party on every measure affecting the
welfare of the country and the race.
"Thus would his votebe as dangerous
to us and to the financial and CONNER
cial interests of this district and state
as the vote of the congressman from
| Senator Tillman's home in the second
district of South Carolina. Ii Mr.
Steck will do all these things, his
party in congress will hail him as the
| "Ceure de Lion" of the Iowa deiega-
ton. If he refuses he viii be entirely
useless as a congressman. from their
standpoint. His party leaders will sit
down on him and his constituents at
home will hear of him just twice-once
when he leaves home and again when
