LONDON, March ga p. m.-The
only news from South Africa showing
activity on either side comes from War
Sentown, north of Kimberley, where
desultory fighting occurred all Sunday,
resulting in the retreat of the Beers
towards Christiana, under shell fire.

The Pretoria account of the skirmish

result that one bugler was slightly

The same dispatch announced the ar

The second edition of The Times pub

dated Monday, March ~, which says:
The blowing up Of bridges by the Beers

All is quiet in the south and west. A
corps of young Beers from the farms
surrounding Bloemfontein, under an
imperial officer, has been detailed for

It is said that when Kruger left

some misunderstanding regarding Lord

Copy of the Document Which
COeur d'Alene Miners Had
to Procure
Before they Were Allowed to
Work Exhibited to House
Committee.
Many Considered Them Badges of
Servitude.-. Travelling Mans
Testimony.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The exam
ination of A. F. Gill was continued be-
fore the Occur d'Alene investigating
committee. In response to inquiries by
Representative Lentz, the witness told
of visit to the "bull pen." At that
time, a prisoner CHANGED to put his
fingers through hole in the side Of the
prison. Thereupon the witness said
colored soldier who was on guard on the
outside showed his bayonet at the pro-
truding fingers, inflicting bloody
wound. A copy of the permit required
of those seeking work in the Occur
d'Alene district was introduced. It re-
cited at length facts concerning the
holder, that he was not member of a
union and that he took an oath
to obey the law. The witness
said he had not taken out permit, re-
garding it as a badge of servitude,
and un-American to require an oath to
obey the law. Representative Jett made
the point that the law presumed that
citizen obeyed the law, until otherwise
proved. The cross examination was di-
rected to showing the permit sys-
tenn was designed to secure an orderly
force Of workmen in the mines. The
witness maintained. however, that it's
effect was to blacklist those who did not
take out a permit, and also to set up an
"oligarchy" or aristocracy of those in
control of the permit system. He said
the class Of miners had deteriorated un-
der the system, so that now women did
not take the night trains, as many
drunken men carrying dirks in their
belts were ON board.
Representative Lentz produced a.
form Of warrant which the witness
identified as the one in general use. It
was in type writing with blank spaces
for the insertion of names and directed
that the person named be taken and
held for violating the proclamation of
the governor of Idaho, declaring mar
tial law and the rules and regulations
of the military district established
Hereunder.
W. r. Shields, commercial traveller,
testified to being at St. Regis, Mon.,
some distance from the Occur d'Alene
trouble when miner named Francis
was placed under arrest by soldiers.
Shields said the townspeople stated that
Francis had worked there for many
months, including the time of the riot,
but he was nevertheless arrested and
taken to the ''pen.'' The witness also
testified to the harshness Of the soldiers.
A recess was then taken until $3.50 p. m.

CROWN COLONIES.

Dutch Republics to BE Administered as
Such If England Gains Control.
LONDON, March 22.-While there is a
lull in the military operations the pres
ent surroundings Of the war show inter-
esting developments. The colonial Of
fee has telegraphed to Cape Town the
text Of the proclamation concerning the
destruction Of property. This will not
be published in London until after its
PRONUNCIATION in South Africa. but it is
known it will convey an intimation
that any wanton destruction of British
property during the war will be re-
garded as warranting a claim for COM
pensation and as justifying a levy upon
private property should the resources Of
the Transvaal republic prove inade-
quate.
The fact that the proclamation is is.
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as significant indication that the re-
publics will be administered as crown
colonies. In this connection it is un-
derstood that the leaders Of the opposi-
ton in parliament now admit that no
other settlement is possible since the
republics insist upon their demand for
absolute independence. ; In view Of this
the efforts of the Liberals will be con-
fined to
Securing in the Settlement
the best treatment for the Dutch popu-
lation, including security against pre-
Acknowledgement.
It is becoming regarded as quite q
settled matter that should the war be
ended, as is now hoped, before June
the government will dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the. country on the
basis Of a stated South African policy.
Should the war drag on dissolution will
be postponed until next spring. In any
event one Of the foremost planks of the
government platform will be army re-
organization.
There is no further information as to
the movements Of Sir Alfred Miner. It
is regarded as certain, however, that he
has gone to Bloemfontein to arrange
for the temporary administration Of the
Free State.
Indications from Natal seem to show
that General Buller's forward move.
ment will not be long delayed.

Is A DEAD SHOT.

Man Who AsSassinated GOebel Said to Be
Certain Notorious NIulatto.
LOUISVILLE, March 22-The stories
growing out of the conference between
Sergeant F. Wharton Golden of the
Barboursville company of the state
militia and the attorneys who are man.
aging the investigation Of the assassina.
tion of Governor Goebel have caused
sensation throughout the state. Golden
will be placed on the stand by the prose-
cution in the trial of the persons already
arrested for alleged completely in the
assassination, but information as to the
exact nature Of testimony he is expected
to give is lacking. Specials from Win.
chester say Golden is still at that place
In company with his attorney. The
two spend most of the time about the
hotel. They see all callers. however,
and talk freely on all subjects except
that Of Golden s reported confession.
II will do all can for my friends all
the time" Golden is reported as saying.
''But I must first be true to myself.
When the time comes will tell all I
know. Whatever else may be said
about me don't think can be accused
Of being liar, coward or Democrat,
and want it distinctly understood that
am not here under guard.'
The Man Who Fired the Shot.
The story is published that Golden
has divulged to the attorneys the name
Of the man who fred the shots that
killed Governor Goebel. The person
mentioned is a mulatto who formerly
lived at Winchester, was prominent in
the French Eversole feud and is known
as dead shot. This man is now sup.
posed to be in the wilds of one Of the
mountain counties. Evidence that he
was in Frankfort at the time Of the as.
sassination was found among papers
taken from Coulton, a clerk in the
auditors Office, when the latter was ar
rested week or SO ago on warrant
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder. Among these papers
are receipts for board bills amounting
to about $500 incurred by 18 men who
were in Frankfort for some time before
and at the time Goebel was shot. In
one of these receipts the name Of the
mullatto mentioned is given. The re-
ceipt in this case is for money received
from John Perkins by Bettina Pittman
for the board Of three men. Perkins is
porter about the statehouse.
