Dutch Republics to Be Administered as
Such If England Gains Control.
LONDON, March 22.-While there is
lull in the mill tary operations the pres
ent surroundings of the war show inter-
esting developments. The colonial Of
fice has telegraphed to Cape Town the
text Of the proclamation concerning the
destruction of property. This will not
be published in London until after it's
PRONUNCIATION i'm South Africa, but it is
known it Will convey an intimation
that any wa11ton destruction of British
property during the war will be re-
garded as warranting a claim for CON-
pensation and as justifying levy upon
private property should the resources of
the Transvaal republic prove made
quate.
The fact that the proclamation is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded
as significant indication that the re-
publics will be administered as crown
colonies. In this connection it is un-
derstood that the leaders of the opposi-
ton in parliament now admit that no
other settlement is possible since the
republics insist upon their demand for
absolute Independence In view of this
the efforts of the Liberals will be con-
fined to

the best treatment for the Dutch popu-
lation, including security against pre-
disfranchisement
It is becoming regarded as quite a
settled matter that should the war be
ended, as is now hoped, before June
the, government will dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the country on the
basis Of a stated South African policy.
Should the war drag en- dissolution will
be postponed until next spring. In any
event one Of the foremost planks of the
government platform will be army re-
organization. -.s -"

IT,, -. The Man Who Fired the Shot.
The story is published that Golden
has diyulged to the attorneys the name
OF the man who fired the shots that
killed Governor Goebel. The person
mentioned is a mulatto who formerly
lived at Winchester, was prominent in
the French -Eversole feud and is known
as a dead shot. This man is now sup
posed to be. in the wilds of one of the
mountain counties. Evidence that he
was in Frankfort at the time Of the as
sassination was found among papers
taken from Coulton, clerk in the
auditors Office, when the latter was ar
rested week or so ago on warrant
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder. Among these papers
are receipts for board bills amounting
to about $500 incurred by Is men who
were in Frankfort for some time before
and at the time Goebel was shot In
one OF these receipts the name of the
mullatto mentioned is given. The re-
ceipt in this case is for money received

Last summer Tommie Jones and me
Were climbin' all around,
And found a birds nest in a tree
Away above the ground.
We took the little thing away
With all the eggs inside.
And oh the words ma had to sayi-
Just sat down and cried.
.'You wicked, naughty boy" she said.
ITO pain the birdie so!
Oh He that watches overhead
VIII punish you, knowl
It was sin to take the nest
And rob the bird Of joyl
Now promise God you'll DO your best
To be a better boyI"
30 when said my prayers that night
I promised God I'd do
kThe best I could to make It right
As ma had told me to:
carried crumbs out every day
And left them at the tree,
md tried to get the bird to stay
And make 1t up with me,
bhe few away last fall and that
Was all seen or heard
About her till they brought mas hat
Home yesterday! That bird
Was there as fine as life. stuck through
With wires you couldn't see
To make her look as though she'd new
Down from the nearest tree!
II God hates Tommy Jones and me.
AS ma let on that day,
I'd kind of like to know what He
Above us has to say
About the one that went and shot
The little bird like that,
And also of the one that's got
It fastened on her hat

able probability that he would be in.
He was not in. however, and the real
estate man went out bitterly disap-
pointed.
He left a note asking the lawyer to
call him up. and the lawyer called him
up and learned that he. had "just this
minute gone out" Then the whole
thing was gone over with again.
AS the matter now stands the two
men are quite intimately acquainted
with each others stenographer.
"Oh, it's you'll" says the young wom-
an who attends to the real estate mans
correspondence. "Of course l know
your voice. No, he isn't in,
but I'll tell him to call you up when
he comes in. know it won't
be any good, but we might as well OBJ
serve the usual routine. Per-
haps you'd like to call.
Well, really couldn't say-not with
any degree of certainty, but I'd be very
glad to see you. No, I don't
think you change much as the years
go by, but, then. seeing you SO often.
l might not notice it. Yes, I'll tell Mr..
Campbell; he'll be glad to hear from
you, know. I'd give a great
deal if he could. He says he'll raise my
salary when he does"
Mr.. Campbell holds similar dialogues
with the lawyers stenographer. Some
times he comes in and finds penciled
note lying on his desk. It is lunch in
vitation. He picks it up and glances
at the familiar handwriting, and then
sighs heavily. Seating himself in his
swing chair, he places his heels care
fully on his blotting pad and allows
himself to sink into a mournful reverie
that brings back to him the once IA
miliar face of his friend of night.
The lineaments of that face are grow
ing hazy and indistinct now. The real
estate man is beginning now to be
afraid that he would not know them II
he saw them on the street.
And the lawyer is haunted by sim
liar fear.-Chicago Daily Record.
