Frightened by Policeman at One Place
 Take Clothing from Another

Late yesterday afternoon two wel-dressed young men applied at a boarding house on the northsde, saying they were painters and were going to work at the Southern railway shops They were assigned to a room upstairs to which they were shown.
 It happens that Policeman Smith boards at the same place and he went in to his supper while the two men were in their room. On coming down stairs they met the officer in the hall. A few minutes later it was discovered that they had left the house.
 Later In the evening two men answering to the same description as the two above mentioned secured board at house in lAyondale and were again assigned 10 a room upstairs They made the statement about being painters and going to work at the Southern shops Shortly after the men had gone to this room some one had occasion to pass their room and noticed that it was not occupied. As they had not been seen to leave the house, this created suspicion, and a search was made. It was then found that they had left the house and taken with them several suits of clothes and other valuables in the room. The police of Birmingham were notified, but no arrests had been made up to 2 o'clock this morning.

BYNUM HAD TO WAIT
Senate Again Failed to Confirm His Nom
 inatlon

Washington, March 2S.-The senate today failed to confirm the nomination of Hon. ". D. Bynum as general appraiser of the port of New York. The nomination was debated at some length, and was attacked by Senators Jones of Arkansas, Berry and Money, while Senators Fairbanks and Spooner spoke in MT. Bynums behalf. The opponents of confirmation based their op- position on the ground that MT. Bynum is not a democrat, although nominated as such. They called attention to the Jaw re- quiring that four of the nine appraisers should be of party different from the oth- ef five, and contended that MT. Bynum' $ appointment would be contrary to law. 1t was replied that MT. Bynum had been a democrat throughout his career and tha | even during the campaign of '96 he had been a supporter of Palmer and Buckner, gold democrats. It was stated that MT. Bynum had resigned his position al the head of the gold democratic party in 1898
 Replying, the opponents asserted that MT. Bynum had taken the side of the gold movement in the democratic party for the purpose of defea ting MT. Bryan, and they quoted affdavits from persons who pro- fessed to have heard him say that this was his reason.
 When vote was called for the demo- crats refrained from voting, and thus broke the quorum and forced an adjournment

ts45rAts~s- WEBSTER DAVIS ON NATIVE SOIL
He Talks of the War in South
 Africa.
KRUGER IS AN ABLE MAN
MT. Davis Thinks the Boers Will be Able to Hold Out Long Time
 Despite the Recent
 Reverses. -

New York, March 2S.-Among the passen- gers on the steamer Aller, which arrived today from Genoa was Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the department of i the interior. MT. Davis repeated his previ- ous denlals that his visit to the Boer re- public was of an official nature. He met ; President Kruger at Pretoria, and was greatly impressed by the strength of char acter of the chief executive of the Boer republic.
 MT. Davis believes that the Boers will be able to continue their struggle against the British for considerable time, in spite of the recent reverses He had an oppor- tunity of personally seeing the Boer troops insaction, and he spoke highly of their sol dierly qualities and courage.
 MT. Davis said he was well treated by the Boers. every possible courtesy being shown him. On his trip to Pretoria from Lorenzo Marquez he traveled in the pri- vate car of President Kruger.
 MT. Davis, when interviews purporting to have come from him were shown to him, became indignant. One of the interviews made lMr. Davis say the treatment of their dead by the English was ptiable; that they did not dig graves at all, simply hid ing the corpse under shovels of earth. On another occasion he was made to say that the resistance of the Boers would not be persisted in much longer.
 Has Made No Statements
 Speaking or these statements Mr. Davis today said:
 From the time I left Pretoria to the present time, l have not given my views to any one on the state of affairs in South Africa. What I may have to say on the subject would be said at the present time with my authorization. Talk that my visit was a government mission is absurd. The Ohio campaign was a severe strain, so asked for leave of absence. When I ar rived at Delagoa bay I found that the priv ate car of President Kruger had been placed at my disposal to carry me to Pre- toria, but how it came to be known that I was going there, l do not know.
 My Urea tmept by every one met was all that could be desired. I had the pleasure of meeting President Kruger and President Steyn and Generals Cronje and Joubert and found them all able men. The death of General Joubert will be a severe blow to the Boers.
 Tn the Boer camp along the Tugela l spent many days and had ample oppor- tunfty 10 see tnelr operations. AlihoSl directly across the river we could see the British forces. I saw several of the bat ties fought about Ladysmith,"
 Speaking of the subject of intervention, MT. Davis said he heard the Boers had sent out delegates seeking 1t, but he had not met amy of the ambassadors. G1e said he did not express any opinion as to which side would foe victorious, and in reply to another question he declined to say whether his sympathieS were with England or the Boers
 ''That is simply question which relates to myself alone." said he MT. Davis met the English generals, Roberts and Kitch- ener, on the Modder river and spent some time in their camp.

while yet a young man, the character through which his powers were destined to find their amplest expresslon-the character of Bob Acres-and for that part he.shaped out an ideal that was-original. high, poetic, fresh and lovely. The affection with which his memory is. cherished and the joyous admiration with which his name is spoken throughout this country is a broad and suf- ficient evidence that his conduct of the ar lists life since then has been no less pru- dent and right than kindly, modest, gentle and sincere.

He understood, he said, that the British and possession of our cable cipher. He was not certain of this, but he had since had information which convinced him that his suspicious were correct.

tarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be astonishing. We have often published partial list of these names, and the surprise caused by the first publication of 1t to all people, both professional and non-professional, was amusing. And yet we have never enumerated all of the diseases which are classed as catarrh. Itmust be confessed, however, to see even this partial list drawn up in battle array is rather ap- palling.

Ada Kehan

Miss Ada Rehan will be seen at the Jef- ferson theatre tomorrow night in her great est impersonation of Katherine in "The Tanning of the Shrew."
 Miss Ada Rehan lends her charming per- sonality to Shakespeare's old-tlme comedy, 1.-The Tanning of the Sherew. The play is not entirely as Shakespeare wrote it, but shows modern touch up to date by the master hand of MT. Augustin Daily; but the character of Katerine is just about the same as it was originally written. The part is incapable of improvement, and as Miss Rehan renders it, with all the power del- icacy of manner, and handling of the com edy scenes, 1t Is a great creation. She im- bues 1t with her own lovely presence. and her costuming is not only correct for the period in which the paly was written, but CTS art, which is worthy of admiration for any tme
 The company is a splendid one, and has been In active rehearsal for weeks and the play will be produced with the same style and effectiveness that marked all the Daly offerings. 1t consists of the following George Clark White Whittlesey. Charles Harbury Eugenen Ormonde Wilfred Clark Dewitt Jennings, R. s. Piggott, Clement Hopkins, Miss Mable Roebuck, Louise Ora. per, Vtsginia Navarto, Katherine Clinton Margaret Owen, etc., etc.

Whereabouts of Consul Ha '

Washington, March 2S.-The state depart- ment has heard nothing from United States Consul Adelbert Hay respecting his re- ported visit to Kroonstadt, but it; does not doubt that he has gone to the Free State capital to establish there something in the nature of consular agency. The United States had a representative at Bloemfon- teip before the outbreak of the war, in the person of Alfred Elliott. Elliott, however, was British subject and was obliged to leave town to insure his safety. All of thts territory is within the consular dis trict of Pretoria.
