patton Of BloemfOntein.

Bloemfontein, March 16.-General
Prettyman is succeeding admirably as
governor of the town. He issued a proc
lamation today requesting the burghers
within radius of ten miles to deliver
up their arms, assuring them they would
be paid for the confiscation of their
property.
Lord Roberts is about to issue fresh
proclamations which, it is considered
will have the effect of disarming further
opposition upon the part of the Free
Staters.
Mr.. Ceilings has been appointed Land
drost, vice Papenfus, deposed, and Mr..
Frazer will act as mayor.

The inhabitants hastened to the

served as a general holiday.
There is great rejoicing at Bloemfon-

Cape Town, March 15-In an inter-
view published in the Cape Argus, Mr..
Cecil Rhodes is quoted as saying:
Il feel strongly that We can not have
peace in South Africa so long as we
have in the republics a rallying ground
for disIoyalty and disaffection. To go
further, I do not think we can safely
federate till we have had some years of
crown colony government. Personally

WE MUST HAVE EN-.
Government Determined to Own
Those Danish Islands.

Washington, March 16-It is learned
that the purpose of the government to
acquire the island of st. Thomas for a
reasonable consideration from Denmark
has not been abandoned, notwithstand-
ing the statements attributed to the
Danish ministers indicating a decision
not to part with the island. While it is
not contemplated that any pressure
should be brought to bear upon Den
mark on this matter, it is still believed
that the last announcement in the case
is perhaps only an evidence of pur-
pose on the part of the Danish authori-
ties to secure a higher price for the
island than the United States had re-
garded as proper.
It is probable that no active effort
will be made by our government to
hasten the negotiations on this subject,
but having learned that the finances of
the island showed a deficit last year,
of $4,000, in spite of the most rigid
economy in the administration, it is be-
heved that our terms will ultimately be
accepted, if reduced to a concrete prop
osition to pay $4,000 900 for st. Thomas
and St Cruz

SHELDON QUESTIONS.
Secures Opinions From Newspaper
Men About His Experiment.

At a conference between Mr.. Sheldon
and the newspaper correspondents last
night, Mr.. Sheldon turned the tables
and became the interviewer, compelling
the correspondents to be interviewed.
The burden of his question was
whether or not the newspaper men con-
sidered the experiment in journalism a
success. To the question most of the
correspondents replied that it would
have no effect on the secular press, but
it might arouse discussion which would
ultimately result in good.
''Will it result in the establishment of
Christian daily or dailies?" asked Mr.
Sheldon.
There was a difference of opinion on
this point, some of the newspaper men
expressing the opinion that it would
and others expressing doubt.
Il did not expect to greatly influence
the secular PRESS said Mr.. Sheldon.
Il shall be satisfied if the experiment
results in the establishment of one or
more Christian dailies, or even in arous-
ing discussion of these matters that
will result in good"
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
very busy last night, Mr.. Sheldon left
his editorial desk early in the evening
and went out to the Central Congrega-
tional church to conduct the weekly
prayer meeting, as is his custom. He
also has his sermon for next Sunday
morning fully prepared.

.eForgiven and Forgotten.n y

The State Journal was slightly en-
barrassed this morning upon finding
that Mr.. Sheldon had not only censored
a piece of sporting news, but, however
unintentional, carried the censorship to
the extent of preventing the State Jour
nal from receiving a complete copy of
the Associated Press news received
during the night. The contract of this
paper with the Associated Press enti-
ties it, not only to the day news which
comes over the wires between 7:3O in
the morning and late in the afternoon,
but also to a carbon copy of the news
received during the night The State
Journal has always received from the
Capital this matter, but this morning
some of the sporting news was missed
and the telegraph editor was put to the
trouble of getting the matter elsewhere.
It duly appeared in the Associated
Press night report, as shown by morn
ing papers which arrived here today
from other cities. Mr. Sheldon is ex-
cused this time, but it is hoped he will
not do so again.

TRIES TO HIDE HIS WIFE.
Turkish Minister Forced to Seek a
Suburban Residence.

Washington, aMrch 16.-The Turkish
minister. Ali Ferrouh Bey, who has
been such an object of interest since he
returned to this country accompanied
by a. beautiful young wife, his sister
and a Turkish duenna, viii shortly
move his household to remote suburb,
probably Chevy Chase.
The minister has been forced to this
step by the curiosity of the Washington
people. Since his arrival public inter-
est has centered around his home to
such an extent that he has not been
able to take the ladies, even closely
yelled, either to walk or to ride. The
windows of their apartments are kept
closed and covered. so intense is his
fear that some camera fined might get
an opportunity to obtain a picture of
the ladies or the interior of the harem.
This, he has explained, would mean
his instant recall and degradation, since
he promised the sultan that his house
hold would be maintained under the
exact conditions at the American cap
ital as if he We're living under the
shadow of ST Sophia.
This close confinement has resulted
in making all the ladies i'll, and it is
now absolutely necessary to move them
to a residence surrounded by ample
grounds and in an isolated location.
The minister has inspected several villas
outside of the city, but as he wishes to
erect a high wall around the grounds,
many of the owners object to this part
of the contract

mate object of controlling the conven-
ton and capturing the national COM
mittee. They viii be for Bryan, but

MINISTER EXPELLED.
Methodists at Wichita Take Prompt
Action AGAINST Faith Healing.

Wichita, March 16.-The committee
on church conduct of the Southern
Kansas Methodist conference today
took decided action against faith heal
ing. and upon recommendation of
Bishop Vincent expelled a Methodist
minister from their ranks.
Rev S. D. Osborne was pastor of the
First Methodist church at Spearvi1le,
Kansas. Last fall he went to Chicago
and studied faith healing. He received
a diploma and took up faith healing as
a business in connection with preaching.
He so informed Presiding Elder Martin
dale.
The minister today read his letter to
the committee and recommended that
he be relieved from duty. Bishop Vim
cent concurred, and accordingly Rev.
Osborne's name was disconnected from
the Methodist church.
