British Officer Tells of Their Considerate
Treatment of Wounded.
ARUNDEL, Saturday, Feb. 17.-Cap-
tain Longhurst of the British medical
corps spent a night at Hoblzirks farm
attending the wounded Australians. He
says the enemy were remarkably kind
to the wounded, provided them with
mattresses and gave them all the eggs
they had.
The Boer commander and Captain
Longhurst found that they had mutual
friends in London and were soon on the
best terms. The Beers and the British
wounded fraternized.
After the retirement Of the British
forces the Beers held prayer meeting
and thanked Heaven for their successes.
Then they separated into small parties
and moved to their various outposts,
chanting hymns as they went.
Captain Longhurst says that he was
much impressed by their considerate
treatment of the British wounded.

House Begins Consideration of
the Porto Rican Tariff
Measure.
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee Makes the Open
ing Speech.
Wheeler Resolution Regarding
the Macrum Incident
Passed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The galleries
of the house were well filled in antici-
patton of the opening Of the debate upon
the Porto Rican tariff bill. Before the
bill was called up, Mr.. Dolliver, (Ia.)
from the committee on ways and means,
moved the passage under suspension of
the rules, of the bill reported from that
committee, to amend sections 1886 and
3341 of the Revised Statutes, relating to
internal revenue tax on fermented
liauors
The purpose Of the bill, Mr.. Dolliver
said, was to abolish the smaller pack
ages Of beer, one-sixtb and one-eighth
barrels. The bill, he said was asked for
by the brewing interests of the country
1t would in nowise affect the revenue.
The bill passed without division.
Porto Rican Bill Taken Up.
Mr.. Payne IN. ". floor leader of the
majority, then moved that the house &c
into committee of the whole to consider
the Porto Rican tariff bill.
Pending that motion, Mr.. Payne Of
fered to make an agreement by which
general debate should close on Saturday
next. the bill to be taken up under the
five minute rule on Monday next and
the final vote to be taken at 2 O'Clock.
Mr.. Mccall (Mass.) asked if such an ar
rangement would preclude a vote upon
the bill originally introduced by Mr.
Payne for free trade with Porto Rico,
which was in line with the recommen-
dations of the president in his annual
message.
MIR. Payne replied that that was a
matter for the house and the committee
to decide
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
insisted that there should be a definite
understanding that the minority could
offer substitute. To this, Mr.. Payne
declined to agree.
Passed the Wheeler Resolution.
AS matter of privilege, Mr.. Hit,
Ills.) reported back from the committee
on foreign affairs the Wheeler resolu-
ton calling upon the state department
for information as to the truth of the
charges of Macrum, ex-consul lat Pre-
toria, concerning the opening OF his
mail by the British authorities, and it
was adopted without debate.
The house went into committee OF
the whole with all questions relating to
the close of debate open.
Mr.. Payne, in charge of the bill,
opened the debate with carefully pre-
pared argument in support of the meas
ure. He was listened to with marked
attention.
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) followed Mr..
Payne. He spoke against the bill, say
ing the measure was more dangerous to
the liberties of the people than any
measure ever seriously considered in the
American congress.

DR.. Treacy Corroborates the Tes-
timony of Justice Hunt Of
Montana,
But Says the Offer Was Made to
Test the Integrity of the
Latter.
Had Heard Persistent RumOrs
That Hunt Was Owned
by Daily.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Senator Clark
of Montana gave place at the beginning
OF the session of the senate committee
on elections, as a witness to DR.. William
M. Treacy. The change was made in
order to permit the justices of the sn-
preme court Of Montana to be present
while DR.. Treacy was testifying, as his
testimony was expected to deal largely
with the interview between himself and
Justice Hunt and Attorney General
Nolan.
DR.. Treacy related all his interviews
with Justice Hunt and also with Attor-
ney General Nolan. He began with his
first interview with Hunt, on Aug. 5
last, and his report was practical rep
etition of Hunt testimony, except as to
the amount named. He said that at the
first interview he had invited the Judge
to his offices and had taken him into
his operating room, where the interview
occurred.
Corroborated Hunts Story.
81 told the judge said the witness,
''that had funny kind of proposition
to make to him.
Ihe witness then went on to say that
| he had told the justice Of the arrival in
Helena OF special train and said he
told the judge that there was q party
there that would give $50, 900 if he would
dismiss the Welcome disbarment case.
The judge promptly said that he could
not consider such proposition and left.
He had also seen Hunt later in the after
noon at the latter's own home and had
renewed the suggestion of the forenoon
He said he had told told the judge of
the rumors that he was under Mr..
Daly's influence and that the latter
would insure his reelection. The wit
ness then said he had told the Judge
that if he could decently do so he would
like to see him get the money to be had
out of the case. The judge had refused
at both times to entertain the PROPOSE
ton, as he had at a subsequent inter-
view three or four weeks later.
just a Test of Integrity,
Asked from whom the suggestion
came that he could approach Judge
Hunt as he had done, DR.. Treacy re-
piled:
''They came from no person. I had
AuoWu u1lu lOf Eeu years ana admired
him more than any other man in the
state. Ny only motive was to test his
official integrity and to find out whether
he was all right. I had heard rumors
that he was identified with the DAILY
people, and there were many rumors
unpleasantly involving his name I
wanted to know about that
"Then," suggested Senator Chandler,
''you went deliberately to work to test
the virtue Of your friend as a judge?''
81 did, was the reply, "and I am
very sorry for it,
Continuing, he said that he had ex-
pected more indignant protest at the
first interview than he had received.
Asked what "party'' he had meant to
refer to when he had told Judge Hunt
that he could get 500, 200 or 800, 900 out
of the case, the witness said he 'sdidn't
mean anybody"
''Then you told him what was not
true?''
II did. might as well have told him
that he could get million.''

KEEP ORDER AT CAPE NOME.
Reasons Given Tor Sending Troops to the
New Mining District.

Reasons Given Tor Sending Troops to the
New Mining District.
WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-Some inter-
esting facts in connection with the new
mining district Of Cape Nome, Alaska,
are contained in an appendix to the re-
port of Major General Miles, just pub
ished by the war department.
Captain E. S. Walker. Eighth infan-
try, who visited Cape Nome, reported
that when he arrived there last sum-
mer a so-called miners meeting had been
held for the purpose Of declaring the OF
ganization Of the mining district to be
illegal and that the entire mining dis
trict should be thrown open and the dis
trict subject to relocation.
Dispersed the Meeting.
Lieutenant O. L. Spaulding, Third
artillery, who was present with six men,
announced that he would give the
miners two minutes to withdraw the
resolution, and if this were not done he
would disperse the meeting. The reso-
luton was not withdrawn and Lieuten-
ant Spaulding cleared the hall at the
point Of the nayonet.
81 ascertained,' Captain Walker
states, "that number of men, repre-
senting, it must be presumed, the men
who organized the meeting, had taken
station in the hills back of the place
Anvil City-in proximity to mining
locations. AS soon as the resolution
should have passed, a bonfire was
to be kindled in town and this was
to be signal to the men in the hills to
rush to creeks and attempt to locate
claims-on properties where men were
actually engaged in reaping the reward
OF their privation and energy, claims
actually recorded and on many of which
time and capital had been invested"
1t is to prevent recurrence of any
such plots during the coming mining
season that the department. has issued
orders for five companies of the Seventh
infantry to proceed to Alaska, making
nine companies that will be stationed
there.

Fight for Democratic Convention is Be-
tween Milwaukee and Kansas City.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20. - Allen W.
Clark Of the national Democratic COM
mittee passed through the city during
the morning en- route to Washington to
attend the meeting of that body which
will be held during this week. The
purpose OF the meeting is to select a
time and place for holding the national
convention.
II believe said Mr. Clark, 'that the
coming convention will be the largest
gathering ever seen at a Democratic
national convention. Reports coming
to national headquarters from nearly
every state in the Union announce large
delegations, and as the convention will
be held in the West the far West and
South will be more largely represented
than ever before.
Kansas City or Milwaukee.
"Where, in your opinion, will the ma
tional convention be held?''
''The contest is between Kansas City
and Milwaukee, and from present indi-
cations one of these cities will get it.
Kansas City is putting up strong fight
for it and the trend of sentiment at the
present time seems to be in that direc-
ton. 1t may be, however, that some
other city will be sprung when the COM
mittee meets and neither one of those
mentioned will be successful"
''What date do you think will be Sc
lected for holding the convention?''
81 am confident the convention will
be held early"

One Result of the Recent Blizzard in New
York City.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The total snow
fall Saturday was seven inches. The
storm caused little inconvenience in this
city and being unaccompanied by severe
cold did not add greatly to the suffer-
ings of the poor. Indeed the snowfall
was blessing to the unemployed, CIV
ing work to thousands of men in clear
ing the streets and sidewalks.
So far $4,000 carloads of snow has
been removed. This is equivalent to
cleaning about 60 miles of street. It is
claimed that this really breaks the rec
ord, only 1000 carloads of snow being
removed during the first day Of the big

WHEREABOUTS OF CRONJE.

London Experts Figure That He May Not
Have Gone Very Far. ,s55s.sses
LONDON, Feb. 20. Practically nothing
is known of the progress Of Lord Rob
erts' column during the last day or two,
and speculation as to the relative gain
from the recent movements is necessar-
ily unsatisfac ctoryt when based on belated
kilograms, evidently vigorously Acen-
sored. Many important points remain
obscure. What has become of General
Cronje's heavy artillery? One CORE
spondent, it is true, says it was left; be-
hind at Magersfontein and Kimberley.
but it is difficult to believe Lord Rob
erts would not have mentioned a detail
Of such Importance. Again the state.
ment that large Boer force was mass
ing northward Of Kimberley once more
raises in the minds Of some experts the
question whether Cronje is really with
the force retreating on Bloemfontein.
1t is suggested that the latter is really
the Free State main army, under Cen
eral Prinsloe, supplemented by a por-
5tion8 Of the Magersfontein command,
while the main body of the latter, under
General Cronje, is trying to secure the
Vaal bridge at Fourteen Streams, thus
barring the way to Mafel1ing. Il.

1t is diffcult to measure the full i'm
