There comes from Pretoria, the Boer
capital, information of lively and un-
pleasant interest TO Americans, since
IL affects fellow countrymen and
seems to point to condition Of things
decidedly wrong. 1t will be remem-
bered that a correspondent named
Lynch was taken prisoner by the
Beers some little time ago, but re-
leased, as he was a non-combatant.
Mr.. Lynch was confined in Pretoria
for while, and he confirms the state
ment that number Of Americans are
In prison there. They have written
repeatedly to the United States consul,
they declare, but have not received
the slightest notice 1t would be inter-
estlng to know whether this is due to
the negligence Of that official or to
the fact that the letters Of the inn
nrisoned men have been intercepted
by their jailors. Either horn Of the
dilemma is an unpleasant one for the
prisoners, and it would be we'll that

Finding It entirely impossible to

manded information with the idea
that the republicans would oppose It,
so that they could say that the ad-
minlstration was afraid to allow reso-
lutions Of inquiry to be passed. The
answer came quickly and by unani-
nous vote both houses called upon
Secretary Gage for information con-
.cerning banking operations which he
was anxious to give. Then the same
Lentz, who turned into a silver demo-
crat with remarkable rapldity after
having been a gold champion, and
who has been making himself ridicu-
lous by constantly seeking notoriety
Of some kind, was insistent that the
question Of the appointment Of polyg-
amists TO office in Utah should be
investigated by a special committee.
EIe thought the republicans would not
dare 10 have an investigation made.
His resolution for it was at once re-
ported back to the house and amended
so that the investigation should be
made by the committee ON postoffices
and post roads, because the two cases
where it was claimed polygamlsts had
been appointed by the president were
those of postnasters. This also elm
mated the pestiferous Lentz as rar-
~ 10 the investigation, as he is not on
the committee on postofIlces and post
roads. The house surprised the demo-
cratic minority by passing the resolu-
tion as amended without division.
President Mckinley is said to have
expressed a wish that his appoint
ments IN Utah might De investigated

not afraid for the searchlight TO be
