They assert that the South African repub-
lies have shown themselves to be worthy
of liberty and that they will continue to
struggle to the last breath against Great
Britain'S attempt 10 annihilate their ex-

cIudes as follows: I'm the name of JUS

TO come to our aid in this supreme moment
and save our country. We commit our
selves TO God, trusting that our prayers

BURNS PENALTY SEVERE.
Restrictions by Coast Judges Mean
Practically a $4,000 Fine.

San Francisco, Cal. Feb 9.-The stew
ards of the California Jockey club dealt
out a large dose of punishment to Jockey
Tommy Burns, one of the most success
full riders in America, last night. After
hearing testimony of the defense they
ruled that he confine his riding tc Burns
& Warehouses; and J. W. Schorrs sta
bles until May l, and from then until jan
uary l, 1901, to the brewers stable alone.
AS Burns is never without a mount
when the weights are within his reach
the ruling practically means fine OF So
600 and perhaps more. Burns offended the
Oakland judges by refusing to ride Sly
after he had put Hanlons colors on.
While waiting for the bell to ring ne
heard that the mare was lame, and hay
ing been put upon several badly condl-
toned favorites that meeting he lost his
temper and rushed away.
Burns was not accused of fraudulent
practices. In fact, the jockey has sus-
tanned an enviable reputation since he ac-
cepted his first mount. His ardent and
intense desire to win races frequently has
involved him in trouble. Horsemen here
regard the sentence as bordering on ex-
tortion.
