NEYEK MADE A SPEECH

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The late Senator Philetus Sawyer never made a speech in his life. Neither in the house nor in the senate, nor in the Wis consn legislature, nor mayor of Osh- kosh was his voice ever heard in a pub lie speech. He never got any further than to say MT. President I desire to intro duce the following bill" Yet he was an indefatigable worker, introduced many bills and secured a great deal of needed legisa- tion. In the senate he was chairman of the important committee on postoffices and post roads, and a very successful one, too. He was thorough in his committee work and was always implicitly trusted by his asso- ciates in both houses In the house he was a very busy man. He looked carefully after the interests of his friends, and after a few years experience in Washington was greatly consulted upon political questions and policies. He was one of MT. Blaine's closest advisers. Indirectly, doubtless, MT. Sawyer owed his success in politics largely to the prestige his wealth gave but directly it never contributed to his advancement. He was never accused of using his money eorruptly but he was a large contributor to party campaign funds.

SUMMARY OF THE
 CROP SITUATION
Weather Bureau Issues Weekly Statement Showing Pro-
 gress of Planting.

Washington, April 24.-The Weather Bureaus weekly summary of crop condi- tions says:
 The temperature conditions of the week ending April 23 were generally highly fa- vorable, but excessive rains in the south ern states greatly interfered with farm work and caused destructive floods. In portions of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, much replanting will be neces- sary as result of the inundation.
 Corn planting has been generally re- tarded where not completed in the south ern states and the Central Mississippi nessee. Winter wheat is improved with ample moisture and favorable temperature and the crop has made rapid growth in the central valleys and southern states.
 Early sown spring wheat is coming up to good stands over the southern portion of the spring wheat region. Oat crop re- ports are encouraging.
 The continuous excessive rains over the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt have retarded cotton planting and washed up much of the acreage previously planted. In southern Texas planting is well advanced and it is progressing rap idly in the northern portion of the state Planting over the northeastern part of the cotton belt is unusually delayed
 Fruit reports are encouraging.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
 STRIKE SITUATION
Both Sides Express Themselves as Being Perfectly SatIsfi ed-Mr. Pierson, Assistant
 to Powell, Gives Out statement.

T. M. Pierson of the Order of Railway Photographers. assistant to President Pow ell, said yesterday that he had received ad- vices from along the Alabama Great Southern railroad to the effect that none of their operators who had gone out on a strike had made request for reinstatement. He stated that one of the best operators along this line had received message from Superintendent Wickersham offering his position back, but that he was not anx- ious to take it at old prices and condi- tions.
 MT. Pierson says that information is be- ing awaited still as to the action of the trainmen and engineers, who held meetings Sunday, and who discussed the strike of the operators.
 The railroad officials maintain that the strike of the operators is giving them but little concern, and that trains are being run on regular schedule and being handled with no delay. The train sheets show, say officials that the usual amount of business is being carried on, and that there is but little trouble being experienced in the handling of trains.

DEUCE OF RUMOR
 FILLS WALL STREET
Concerning the American Steel
 and Wire Company.
GATES WAS FORGED TO QUIT
This Statement Has Been Made, But No Confirmation or Denial Gan Be Had At This
 Time

New York, April 24.-Wall street is del- uged with rumors concerning the future of the American Steel and wire company Most of the stories tell of the forced with drawal from the company's management of John w Gates These are supplemented by tales that controlling interests in the Federal Steel company have recently ac- quired large blocks of the Steel and Wire stocks, and will, after the directors meet on May ', succeed the Gates contingent in the management of the company.
 While it is impossible to get any authori- tative information of these stories, it is also impossible to get point blank deniais of them. It is said by friends of MT. Gates that he has arranged to sail for Europe at an early date and, according to Wall street gossip, he will stay abroad an ex- tended period.
 The assertion that "Gates will have to get out of wire is made by men whose affiliations are such as to give them accur- ate information. But as to whether or not MT Gates will resign at the coming meet ing, there is neither confirmation nor de- nial of an official character. Reports that the Steel and Wire will advance prices in it's products for export were practically confirmed at the office of the company, where it was thought that nothing in this way has yet been done.

A CITY OF ROSES
Delightful Features in the Transvaa!
 Capital
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
 Pretoria is about thirty-seven miles from Johannesburg, in an upland valley, sur rounded by the Witwatersberg hills, about 450o feet above the level of the sea. The town nestles among hedges of roses, which grow everywhere in wild profusion. Lines of willow trees and blue gums border the hedges, and streams of clear water flow down the sides of the broad streets, which are laid out in straight lines.
 There is quite a continental air about Pretoria The place is lighted with fine installation of arc lamps, which at night tune, as they shine through the foliage, ir- resistably suggest the boulevards of Paris or Brussels. Some of the buildings at Pre- toria are truly palatial First among them comes the "Raadzaal," or government buildings. They have frontage 175 feet wide a depth of 220 feet, and a height of 125 feet from the ground up to the winged figure of Liberty which surmounts the principal dome.
 Altogether, Pretoria will not fail to de- light Tommy Atkins when he has at last fought his way to that deectable place. It will be welcome change from the veldt. +4r

Tacna and i rica

Valparaiso, April A.-The question of Tacna and Africa has entered a new phase. In consequence of some action taken by the Peruvian minister here, the Chilian gov ernment had decided to assert sovereignty over the two provinces by transferring the appeal court from Iquique to Africa.
 Great indignation has been excited against Peru by the publication of docu- ment alleged to have been written by the new Peruvian minister to the United States urging the United States government to compel Chile to fulfill the terms of the treaty of Aeon, which provided that the ultimate ownership of the provinces of Tacna and Africa should be settled by pleb- iscite.

MISS BARTON IS
 VERY INDIGNANT
She Says the Men Practiced a
 Gross Deception
IF HE REPORTS ARE TRUE
She Called Upon Secretary Hay and Explained How and Why the Ambulance Corps Was Sent
 to South Africa
to South Africa

E Washington, April 24-"If the report be true, these men have practiced gross de- ception broken pledge, violated a com fidence which they sought. The humane world will not hold them guiltless."
 This was the declaration of Miss Barton respecting the reported action of the am bulance corps from Chicago, in casting away their red cross emblems as soon as they arrived on the field of war in South Africa, and taking up arms in the Boer cause
 Miss Barton called upon Secretary of State Hay today and explained her con nection with this ambulance corps. It ap- pears from her statement that Miss Bar ton, president of the American Red Cross, was waited upon some time ago by MT. Judd of Holyoke, Mass. who told of the intention of the Irish socialists of Chicago to send out an ambulance corps to the Transvaal. It was pointed out to her that the British side in the war had re- ceived of the outside help, and she was asked to give the outgoing expedition ere dentials and the Red Cross flag.
 Miss Barton gave MT. Judd a letter Of general character, asking right of way and good treatment for the expedition. There were about ffty-eight men in the expedi- ton when it left New York-a proper num- Der for an ambulance corps, but when this party was swelled at Lisbon by about 150 men who had preceded them, suspicion was aroused as to the true character of the men.
 There was still an indisposition on the part of the Red Cross people in this coun- try to believe the first reports of tho breach of faith on the part of this expedi- tion, but doubt on that point has been re- moved by the receipt of Consul Hays cablegram confirming the news dis patches
 It is not felt that the Red Cross of America has been to blame in this matter or that it be held responsible for the actions of a party organized as was this one, entirely outside of the society's own material, nor could the request to aid what appeared to be a laudable enterprise be declined, though it is improbable that any more expeditions of the kind will receive countenance.
