The death of General Villebois Mareuil was, in Captain Leon's opinion, a very great loss to the Boers. Louis Botha, the new eommander-in-chief, he characterized as 'capable and daring general, upon whom ahe Beers could reckon on considera- bly,"
 When his opinion of the British generals was asked, he replied:
 They are absolutely worthless. Their in- competence surpasses all belief. The err TOTS they have committed are enormous and incomprehensible."

GOOD NEWS FOR SHIPPERS.
Changes of Importance to BE Made
In Freight Classification.

Changes of Importance to Be Made
I'm Freight Classification.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-That changes or
an important character will be made IN
the freight classification is assured.
After two or three advisory sessions with
the traffic managers Of the principal
trunk lines, the members of the classi-
fication committee have settled down 10
a thorough overhauling of such parts OF
the new classification as was complained
of by the manufacturers and shippers at
the recent hearing. The trunk lines have
tacitly agreed to adopt a friendly policy
toward the shippers, and the numerous
protests and requests filed with the Gas
sification committee will be used In form-
ing cases of complaint as far as possible
On authority that is indisputable the
statement may be made that many OF the
requests of the shippers will be computed
with, and the official classification Will De
revised on liberal lines. In every instance
where the operation of the existing scale
of rates is shown to be seriously detrl-
mental to any particular industry
change will be made, and the merchan-
disc concerned will be classified more ad-
VantageouSly.
There is good reason to believe that the
prospective revision of the official classi-
fcation will include considerable les
sening of the differences between rates
on car load lots and less than car load
lots. Upon the existing wide differences
rests one of the chief grievances OF the
shippers. 1t is said changes will be made
In this part of the classification that Will
satisfy the greater portion of complaints.
The classification committee Is likely to
he In daily session relative to the read
iustment of the classification for two or
three weeks.

Rival Tribes Blame Each Other for
What Has Happened.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. s-Samoan ad-
vices received by the steamer Alameda to-
day are to the effect that the agree
ment between the three powers, as to the
division Of the Samoan group, has caused
but little real trouble though the Malie-
toa and Mataafa factions were somewhat
discontented, the Mataafans blaming the
Malietoans for causing the trouble which
brought about this result and vice versa.
Reports were received in Apia that at
Aana and Savaii the followers of Ma
taafa, chagrined at tho news of the di-
vision of the, islands, resolved that the
Malietoan adherents, who had returned
to their homes, must be driven out of
these districts, and large force of Ma
taafa men attacked the homes of the
Malietoans, routed the residents out, set
fire to the buildings and later drove the
inhabitants to Saliemoa.
On Dec Capt Tilley, Of the United
States navy, notified High Chief Faivae,
of the island of Tutuila, that under the
terms of the agreement between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many the Samoan group would be divided
between the United States and Germany.
and that the island of Tutuila, Manula
and the other islands east of Upolu would
come under the protection of the United
States. Capt Tilley assured the chiefs,
through Faivae, that the United States
would protect the natives and give them
good government. and that 1t would
hold the chief responsible for any trouble
that might occur.
Capt Tilley's proclamation was received
with quiet and order, and no apprehen-
sion is felt that trouble will follow at
the inauguration of the new regime.

SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Active Search for the Slayer of
William GOebel.

3.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. 1.-Two men
suspected of completely in the murder of
Gov. Goebel were arrested in board ng
house today. The names are Silas Jones,
of Whitley county, and Gottschalk, Of
Nelson county. The men are said to have
slept in the executive building fer time,
and they will be kept in confinement until
something more definite is known as to
their whereabouts at the time of the as
sassination. Both strongly deny any
knowledge of the murder
John Gottschalk, of Nelson county, VIII }
was arrested with Silas w. Jones, sus-
pected of completely in the assassination,
was released from custody tonight.
The authorities expect to obtain i'm
portant evidence regarding the assassin of
Gov. Goebel from Sias Jones. Jones has
already made partial confession. He
declares that he personally knows moth
ing Of the crime but says that Harlan
Whitaker, who was arrested immediate
ly after the shooting, while running from
the executive building, from which the
shots were fired, knows great deal
about the crime.
1t is believed that Jones gave more In
formation than that regarding Whitta-
ker, and what he told the police may lead
to further arrests In the neighbour BOD of
Richmond, Madison county, Ky.
Gottschalk and Jones are cousins. The
latter says he came with the noun
taineer excursion. Both are said to have
slept in the executive building the night
before Goebel was assassinated. Jones
saws he applied to Taylor and Findlay for
pay for coming here. He says this was
promised, and by others, in advance, but
they would not settle, and he could not
pet ont of town. He said he did not
know what he was brought here for
Although the detectives have been ex,
amining and cross-examining Jones' out
siders have not been permitted to see or
talk to him. The detectives believe this
to be the most important arrest yet
made. Jones is said. to have been sleeps
