the southeastern part Of the Free State almost

A singular message dated Bloemfontein
April 10, 10:55 a. m, and beginning Via press
censor Bloemfontein," reports an exchange of
shots in the direction Of Dewetsdorp, where the
Beers are said to be concentrating after their
withdrawal from Wepener."
There is nothing else to indicate that the In
vestment of Wepener has been abandoned by
the Beers. Notwithstanding the rain however
the British have made some progress, as De
wetsdorp has been occupied by them. probably
by the advance of General RUndle's Lewiston.
Dewetsdorp Is about twenty-fOur miles from
Wepener.
An obscure message from AliwaI North. dated
April 10, says that General Brabant has arrived
there; but whether he returned alone with

GREAT BRITAIN LOOKING ON.
TTON IN TIE LEVANT.

London April 19-Keen interest is manifested
here in the threatened action of the United
States against Turkey. particularly in view of
the Sultans recalcitrancy in connection with
the increase of the customs dues. The fourth
collective note of the embassies objecting to an
increase of 3 per cent in the duties, on account
of the bad condition of the Turkish finances,
without a previous understanding with the Pow
ers was handed to the Turkish Government
yesterday but Turkey maintains such firm
attitude that the suspicion is growing that some
covert intrigue Is frustrating the effect of the
notes The ST. James's Gazette" says:
II will be interesting to watch the game of
procrastination to which Europe is accustomed,
being PLAYED with the United States. America
has entered the European arena, and. apparent
ly has no intention of standing any humbug
from the Turks Why should She The Eastern
question has terrors for Power with
whole ocean between herself and the Balkans.
The President thinks the Sultan has had grace
enough. But if America sets foot in Asia Minor
perhaps she will find that neither Russia nor
Germany will be Uninterested spectators. From
ourselves she will get nothing but sympathy
and goodwill.

GENERAL ELECTION IMPROBABLE.
SPEECH OF SIR MICHAEL HICKS BEACH AT
BRISTOL.

London. April 19.-The Chancellor Of the Ex-
chequer. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, responding
to the toast to the Government al the Primrose
Day banquet at Bristol, said he could not tell
when a general election would be held and he
was quite certain that nobody else knew; but
if the did not extend beyond the natural
life of Parliament the Government would not
appeal to the constituencies until It was in
position TO know the policy which It would
recommend The speaker said
Lord Beaconsfeld was one Of the first to ap-
preciate the advantages of empire. Imperial
federation is delightful dream, and il may be-
more; but we must not attempt to force
the pace. The colonies have however, given an
earnest of a future time when there may be
some form Of common organization for them
selves and the motheTland, which might control
Imperial policy and give the colonies ade-
quate share in the responsibilities and defence
of the empire.
AS to what the results of the will be to
South Africa can say; but the war bids
fair TO have the greatest results for the empire
and the world. Let Great Britain follow Lord
Beaconsfeld's example, and see to it that when
the is over it shall never. If we can help
II, occur again.

PEACE REIGNS ON MAUI.
HIGH SHERIFF BROWN AND
OFFICERS RETURN
The Trial at the WmuN Court House
a Small Strike at Paa-Hawau and
Kauai

High sheriff Brown. Captain Fox.
Chester Doyle and the seven officers
who went TO Maui returned this
morning ON the steamer Mauna Lua.
The Japanese did not offer any Vio-
lence. Excepting a small strike which
broke out yesterday at Paia the lab
orers of Maui have ceased to cause
trouble. The Paia strike is like the
others but there are only about a
hundred and fifty men in it,
The immediate cause of the trip of
the officers was the trial at Waikiki
of eight japanese who were accused
of having taken part in the recent as
saults upon police officers. The Japs
were i'm an ugly mood and it was fear
ed that they would attempt a rescue
of the prisoners. The men were tried
before Judge Robertson, with Hons.
Coke and Richardson for the defense
and Sheriffs Baldwin and Hayselden
for the prosecution. Five of the men
accused were acquitted. Two others,
| Takeda and Eki, were fined $25 and
costs and Fuyimoto was sentenced to
six months hard labor.
! The Mauna Loa brings reports indi-
eating that peace has also come on
Hawaii. From Kauai reports continue
| to how that the Japs have gone back
| to work, and plantation managers all
over the islands are beginning to think
that the trouble is ended.

The commissions of the Justices and

curv former Justice Writings room.

ly occupy the office of Judge Stanley.
For the present, however, Judge Stan
ley will hold over as Judge Silliman
is still in the east.
At the Executive meeting this morn
ing Governor Dole read a letter from
Mr.. Stevens, legal adviser of the Jap
anese legation at Washington, re-
questing a postponement of the hang
ing of Ihara. A peprieve in this mat
ter had already been decided upon. 1t
is probable that the local government
will recommend to President Mckinley
a Communication of the sentence.
Land Agent Brown gave it as his
opinion that Hawaiian fishing laws
still had three years to run and the
other departments agreed with him.

CHICAGoANs IN GREAT PERIL.
Friends of the Misses Wyckoff Urge
Their Recall.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Action looking
toward the recall of the missionaries
now in northern China, where the Box
ers' rebellion is in progress, will be TAX
en- by the missionary boards of the va
rious denominations early this week.
Dispatches relating the details of the
massacre of Americans have been the
most sought for articles of news by
the church people of Chicago.
Nearly half the missionaries now in
the region infested by the Boxers are
from Chicago. Their friends are clam
oring for their recall, and it is proba-
BILE that such action will be taken by
the mission boards. The main difference
of opinion which has delayed this ac-
ton has been the question whether they
should be ordered back to the United
States or to Japan. At any rate, their
friends will iHsist on their removal
from the seat of war.
Among the workers who have not
been heard from since the insurrection
began are Miss Helen G.. Wyckoff and
her sister Miss Gertrude Wyckoft,
whose father the Rev. j. d. Wyckoff,
lives at Hnsdale. These young women
We're last heard of at Pangchung, city
within a few miles of Picking. DR..
Chauncey Goodrich and wife are
thought to be at Picking.

lege, and his wife are also at Pans-
chung. DIR. Henry ID. Porter, wife and
sister, Miss Mary POrterSwere stationed
at the hospital at Pangchung, but are
thought to be in Picking.
Friends of all these missionaries have
sent them cablegrams imploring them
to leave their dangerous posts, and
wish to have their entreaties seconded
by the commands Of the missionary
boards.

15i. 7Oa votes. "a loss Of S,629. This in itself
is not SO significant. because MeKinley's
loss in 1900. as COMPARED with 1896, was
much greater. But let US make another
com parison. Bryan, as we have said, re-
ceived, in the late election. 146,OSo votes.
The total vote cast for the Democratic
nominees for Congress was 1Gs0GI- Bryan S
