Nothing Has Been Done Toward
 Relief of Mafeking.
HEAVY COMMANDMENT CONTINUES
Mail Accounts of the Capture of Gen eral Cronje Show the Rapidity With Which Lord Roberts
 Changed Plans

London, March 26.-4:15 a. m.-Except for the unfortunate occurrence" as Lord Rob- erts calls it, which resulted in the killing of Lieutenant Lygon and the wounding and capture of Lieutenant Colonel Crabbe, Lieu tenant Colonel Codrington and Captain Trotter, the campaign presents no new features The mishap to the guards offi- cers is testimony to their bravery. but not their discretion. They met party Of five Boers, whom they tried to capture. three of their comrades were hidden, and within five minutes every member of the British party was hit.
 Apparently little progress is being made toward the relief of Mafeking. private telegram from a lieutenant at Kimberley, dated Wednesday, March 2l, announces that he was on the point of starting for Mafe- king, presumably with the relief column
 General Sir Forestier-Walker and Prince Alexander of Teck, have left Cape Town for Mloemfontein. It is reported rom La dvsmith that Van Renan's Pass bristles with guns.
 Mail accounts Of the capture oi oehei e'i r,ronie just received, bring out interesting noints as to the rapidity with which Lord Roberts changed his plans when he found that General Cronje had escaped from Ma eersfontein, where it was originally intend ed to attack or close in upon him. Lord Kitchener was sent forward to intercept him, and at the battle of Paardersburg Lord Kitchener seems to have shown that he is better as an organizer than as fighter, for 1t was at his order that the British infantry repeated the blunders or other generals, attacking entrenched G3oers. who allowed the Britishers to get within a thousand yards before opening fire. As the British had absolutely no cover, they lost heavily and uselessly, and were compelled to fall back momentarily with some amount of confusion and to withdraw their transport to safe dis tance.
 This fact makes significant commentary rpon the rumors that have been in circula- ton of some coolness between Lord Kitch- ener and Lord Roberts, which is said to lave accounted for the former being sent to Prieska to suppress the rebellion.

PREFER AN EMPIRE WITH GOLD.
So Bryan Thinks of Anti-Imperialists Who
Reject the Democratic Platform
INV the Asociated Press }

Lincoln, Neb, July 17.-Wiilam J. Dry
ans attention was called today to the
fact that some anti-imperialists, had ar
nounced they would be opposed to MIN On
account of the silver plank in the plat
form and he was asked as to whether this
fact would seriously affect the antrim
peralist vote. He said:
Several gold standard opponents CT
Imperialism have already announced
their intention to support the Democre tic
ticket although the anti-imperialistic
league has not acted officially. In such
a matter each individual is governed by
his own views as to the relative impor
lance, of the issues. The Democratic
platform declares the question of imper-
ialism to be the paramount issue. II
any opponent of imperialism refuses to
support the Democratic ticket, because
of tho silver plank it must be because
he considers the money question more
important than the Philippine question;
that is, he prefers a gold standard en-
pire to bimetallic republic. When the
test comes, | believe that those who
adhere to the doctrine that governments
derive their just powers not from SUI
peTior forces, but from the consent of
the governed, will support our ticket even
though they do not endorse the silver
plank. A large majority of the Demo-
Gratis believe that a restoration of BIZ
metallism would prove blessing but
the anti-imperialists who dispute this will
admit that any evils that might arise
from bimetallism could be corrected more
easily than the evils which would fol-
low from the deliberate endorsement of
militarism and Imperialism"

A GREAT RALLY AT DUNN.
(By the Associated Press.)

Georgetown, Ky, July lin the trial
completely in the Goebel shooting, Finley
Anderson testified that on January oath,
Caleb Powers told him the corps of
mountaineers which was being organized
was going to Frankfort to intimidate the
Legislature, and if necessary, to kill
enough Democrats to give the Republicans
majority He said:
Powers told me, Goebel would never
live to be Governor, and said he (Powers)
would kill him if nobody else would
Witness said he heard Powers and
others talking about Goebel wearing a
coat of mail but some of them said that
he could be killed anyway Powers was
in conference with ex-Secretary of State
Charles Finley, Wharton Golden, Robert
Noakes and others. On cross examina-
ton the witness became considerably
confused, admitting that he had called on
Colonel t. c.. Campbell of counsel for the
prosecution in Cincinnati. Witness ad
mitted securing a position in Cincinnati,
but denied that it was due to his willing
ness to testify In this case.
Lucy Brock, of London testified that
she knew the defendant we'll, and had
corresponded with him for over two
years past Powers called on her in
January. He told witness he was getting
I'D crowd of 1000 mountain men to go
to Frankfort, 80 that in case the DEM
ocrats robbed them of the State offices,
they would take care of themselves"
Witness said Powers told her the plan
to take the 1000 mountain men to Frank
fort was Governor Taylor's creation.
Senator Newton Franzier, of Shelby
county, who was standing between the
legislative and executive buildings when
the assassination occurred, declared the
shots were undoubtedly fired from the
executive building.
Captain Hawn, of the Barbourville mill
tary company, testified as to the CONVEX
satiors between himself ard the Powers
brothers touching the movements of the
company. John Powers asked him if he
would not turn over the company to one
of the lieutenants and he agreed to do
so. Caleb Powers told him he wanted
the company and other mountaineers to
go to Frankfort for the effect it would
have on the Legislature.
Captain Watts, of the Williamsburg
Company, also told of a conversation with
John Powers relative to taking his COM
pany to Frankfort. He declined to do
so except under orders.

Kinston, N. c., July 17.-Butlers
henchmen are scattered broadcast
through Green, Lenoir, Jones and Onslow
counties a dirty sheet miscalled,
THE White Man" bearing upon its
title page only the place of
publication: Raleigh, N. c., purporting to
be published by a concern at that place,
but no endorsement nor author to give
it credit; simply sheet of lies sent out,
evidently by Butler, or by his sanction, to
fool the white man. But it proved a
boomerang at the hands of Messrs War
rem and Pollock last Friday and Satur-
day in Jones county Sand sheet con-
tanned the following lying item:
. 1t was charged at Trenton by Mr.. H.
III Seawell, Populist, and the charge can
be proven to be true, that the White SUI
premacy club at Tuckahoe, Jones county,
had for its president a negro. The charge
was not denied
When these reached Tuckahoe, many
of the citizens, had not seen or heard
of this SANDER, and were justly indig-
nant; as it was Known to
many of them who heard Seawell at Tren-
ton when he spoke at that place on June
30th, that he made no such charge, and
that there was not the least foundation
for it,
Hon. George Noble, the present member
of the Legislature being the president
of the White Supremacy Club at Tuck
ahoe, and that fact being we'll known,
there was no occasion to make such a
statement ecept to lie upon and SANDER
these good people. Butler has over
reached himself in this as many Populists
and Republicans in that section have an
nounced their determination to support
the amendment, after seeing the perfidy
of their leaders.
