DESPITE all warnings, the chances
ere that the Porto Rican bill will
pass the Sepate substantially un-
changed. The Republicans are wed
ded to their trust idols and prefer to
antagonize the country rather than
antagonze the men who will sub
scribe to the campaign funds, on the
principle that it is easier to fool the
people than to fool the millicnaires.
But they may find that they are
mistaken.

Il o o INQUIRY.
Cadet Keller Tells of the Celebrated
Prize Fight Between Himself
and BOOz.

West Point, n. Y, Dec. 22.-The mill
tary court-martial inquiry into the al
legged brutal cases of hazing, which
are said to have caused the death of
Cadets Booz and Breth, will not be able
10 finish its work this week. An ad-
journment until Wednesday or Thurs
day will be taken after to-day's ses-
sion, and the remainder of the testi-
mony probably will be secured by the
end of next week. Friday the story
of the fight between Keller and Booz
in Fort Putnam, on the 9th of August,
1898, was told by Keller himself as well
as by some of the seconds and the
sentinels who were posted to watch
for officers who might interfere. A
letter was read in court from Rev. DIR.
Allison, Of Bristol, Pa. 1t was written
in reply TO the one published from
Cadet Burnett, president of the Y. N.
C. A. at the academy. DR.. Allison says
that Booz was not a man to read novels
hidden In a Bible. Nothing adduced
In the evidence Friday showed that
there was any brutal hazing practiced
at the academy.

BoLDEsT INCIDENT OF WAR.
the British Who Had Sur
rounded Him.

Bloemfontein. Dec. 20.-The details
of Gen. De Vets escape from the en-
circling British columns show that
it was one of the boldest incidents Of
the war. When Haasbroek's COM
mand joined De Wet December IL.
some IS miles east Of Thabanchu, Gen.
Knox was only about an hour distant
and the Boer situation appeared des-
perate. But De Wet was equal to the
occasion. Dispatching Haasbroek
westward, to make a feint at Victoria
mex, De Wet prepared to break
through the British columns at
~Springhau Mex pass, about four miles
of broad, fiat, unbroken ground. At
the entrance were two fortified posts,
while artillery was posted on
a hill eastward, watching the
Beers. Suddenly a magnificent
spectacle raj presented. The
whole Boer army, of $500 men, start
ed at a gallop in open order through
the mex. President Steyn and Peit
Fourie led the charge and De Wet
brought up the rear. The British
guns and rifles ratified necessarily.
The Beers first tried the eastward
route; but, encountering artillery,
they diverged and galloped to the
front of the hill to the westward,
where the fire of only a single post
was effective.
The whole maneuver was a piece Of
magnificent daring and. it's success
was complete, in spite of the loss of
a 15-pounder and 25 prisoners.
The British force detached after
Haasbroek came in contact with his
commando at nightfall. The burgh-
ers were scattered and Welsh yeo-
manry galloped among the retreating
Beers, using their revolvers and the
butt ends of their rifles with great
effect.
An incident Of the fight was the
gallop Of a British ammunition wagon
right through the scattered Beers,
the gunners using their revolvers
freely.
London, Dec. 22.-The war office
made the following announcement Fri
day evening: In view of the general
position in South Africa, the following
reenforcements of mounted troops
have been arranged. Eight hundred
will start next week. Two cavalry
regiments have been ordered to leave
as soon as the transports are ready.
The colonial police will be increased to
10000. Detachments will leave as fast
as they are formed. Further drafts of
cavalry will be despatched at once.
Australia and New Zealand have been
invited to send further contingents.
Three thousand extra horses, beyond
the usual monthly supply, have been
contracted for.
Cape Town, Dec. 22.-Gen. Brabant,
commander Of the newly-raised CO.
lonial division, has been ordered to the
front and will start to-day. At Thorn
dale Gen. French has routed $500
Beers, with four guns and a pompon.
Thorndale is 16 miles west of Krugers-
dorp. The fight took place December
10. The British had IA wounded, and
the Beers fed in disorder, with about
so killed. The Beers who invaded Cape
Colony had in most eases pack horses
in addition to those they rode. All
were in the pink of condition. They
Communicated all possible clothing
and stores at Venterstad.

Operators have gathered the i'm
preston from interviews with coal
miners and their representatives, that
at the meeting in Ottumwa, in Feb
ruary, to arrange a scale for the year
commencing April 1, the miners will
not de mand an increase in the price
for mining coal. Instead it is claim
ed that the most important demand
will be for a clause fixing the pitch
of he'screens. AT present the min
ers are paid 80 cents for every ton of
coal passing over the screen, in most
of the districts of the state. The
amount of coal passing over the
screen depends largely in the size of
the openings in the screen, all of
which is covered in the present scale
and in which no change will be ak
ed, and the pitch at which the screens
are set. 1t is stated that the miners
will ask for a greater pitch than the
present. Operators and miners are
generally of the opinion that the con-
ference will last only two or three
days. Last year the conference at
Des Moines lasted nearly a month.
