KiICHENER'S PROCLAMATION.
Tells Rurghers They Can Return
Home-Can't Drive Them Back.

London, Dec. 27.-2:3O a. m.-The
paucity and obscurity of the dis
patches from South Africa give rise
to renewed anxiety Apparently the
disturbed area of Cape Colony ex-
tends further south than it did last
December, and Lord Kitchener does
not appear to have made much sue
cess as yet in driving back the invad-
ers
The war Office received last eve
ming the reported capture of yeo-
manry near Britston. A Burghersdorp
dispatch has a mysterious reference
to an unfortunate mistaking of the
enemy for Brabant's horse, which re-
suited in the sounding of cease firing
and enabled the Beers to occupy all
the commanding positions the Brit.

mtnt.'
General Clements success against
the Beers in the Magaliesburg re-
giOn is also doubtful, the last dispatch
reporting that it was considered ad.
visable not to force the Beers from
their position"
The British press continues in the
main optimistic but the condition of
affairs brings home the enormous diff
| ficulties that will face Lord Kitchen
er in patrolling and policing such i'm
mense tracts of land even when the
Beers shall be finally subdued.
| The Daily Mail, which makes a
strong appeal to the government tc
face the facts and send Lord Kitch
ener more troops" says: There is a
real risk of being lulied to sleep by
carefully censored messages
Lord Kitchener, according to a dis
patch from Johannesburg, has ISSUED
proclamation dated Pretoria, De
cember 20, announcing that burghers
who voluntarily surrender will be al
lowed to live with their families ir
the government laagers until such {
time as guerrilla warfare has suffi
ciently abated to admit of their re
turning in safety to their homes. The
proclamation also promises that al
property and stock brought in at tine
time of surrender will be respected
and paid for if requisitioned by The
military authorities.

DEAD MANS SHOES.
Late Auditor Morris Place Offered
Cleveland Man.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The presi-
dent has rendered to Fred Rittman,
of Cleveland, Ohio, the position of
fourth auditor of the treasury, made
vacant by the tragic death of Auditor
Morris. Rittman, for the last 20
years, has been engaged in the bank
ing business in Cleveland, and was
previously auditor of railroad ac-
counts. The condition of Samuel
Mcdonald who killed Auditor Morris,
is worse today. The change is due
to his renewal of efforts to thwart
the measures necessary for his recov-
cry. He refuses to take nourishment.

SHAFTS YOUNG ASSAlLANT.
Was After Moral Effect, Not Blood
But Got Life Sentence.

The trial of SalsOu, who attempted
to assassinate the Shah of Persia
during his stay in the French capital,
which has just terminated in the con
demnation of the defendant to penal
servitude for life. reveals some pc
culiar phases.
The evidence in this case disclosed
the fact that the anarchist had really
no intention whatever to kill the
shah. Indeed, it was shown that
the defendant was glad that no blood
was spilled
During the examination it was elic
tied that Salsou had no accomplices
and never attended the meetings OF
the anarchists.
There was something strangely pa
thetic in the court room scene OF
this beardless youth of "a years OF
age, accused of heinous offense
against society for which punishment
worse than death awaited him. He
seemed of a timid. unsophisticated
nature.
You are an excellent soldier" said
the presiding judge. you have good
certificate from your colonel. You
were a model corporal, obliging to
your comrades and respectful to youl
chiefs. Why did you not maintain
your character?'
II studied the anarchistic doc
trines," replied Salsou. Nov | am
a true defender of France; | am a
soldier of the revolution: a defender
of the people"
Inquiry proves" continued the
Judge, that you were sober young
man, never indulging in alcoholic Ii
quors. You had no bad habits, never
stayed out late at nights, but that
you spent your earnings in anarchis
tic literature and that you danced fol
joy in your room when the news
came of the assassination of the King
OI Italy. is LnlS true .
1T is true, but you cannot expect
me to grieve over the death of an
enemy of the people"
rs it not also true that since 1894
you have been contemplating some
coup that would make you famous
and that you bought a revolver fol
this purpose?'
Il love to be armed. Anarchy has
many bitter enemies"
In the course of the examination
regarding. the attempt on the shah's
life the presiding judge asked.
why did you desire to kill the
shah?"
Il wanted to render myself usefu
to the anarchistic cause. | bore NJ
grudge against the shah personally
! aimed my pistol above the shah:
head. was glad that the attacl
had it's moral effect without the shed
ding of blood"
The trial was a brief one
Within five minutes after the jur,
retired for deliberation they returned
with look of ineXOrable severity
Their judgment they claimed wa
mitigated by extenuating circum
stances. For this reason he will no
be executed but be imprisoned TO
life at hard labor.
Salsou showed no emotion eXcep
an expression of slight surprise, a
he heard the verdict, which, unit
death, deprives him of freedom.

Matters Political. Bryan thought
to Have Gained Ground
In the East.

Chicago, June i A Washing
ton dispatch to the Record says {:
G. NJ. LambertOn Of Lincoln,
Neb., formerly assistant secretary
of the treasury, says that Mr..
Bryan is growing stronger as "A
candidate in the East every day,
but is not so strong in the West
as he was four years ago, because
of the decreasing interest in iinau-
cial questions. The people have
discovered by practical expe-
rience that the free coinage Of
silver was not essential TO pros
perity, and many who formerly
belonged to the Republican party
are coming back in Nebraska, ,
Kansas, Colorado. Dakota and
other Western states. In the
Eastern states Mr. Lamberton
thinks Mr.. Bryan Wi command
practically the cu'!"" normal
strength of the Den % attic party.
Those who voted for Palmer and
Buckner no longer have any fear
on the financial issue, and no lon
ger hesitate to vote for Bryan on
that account.
II think, from what | hear"
said Hilary \. Herbert Of Ala
bama, "that Mr.. Bryan Will poll
pretty much all the Democratic
votes at the next election. al
though some of those who voted
for Mr. Mckinley four years ago
will do so again for the same rea-
son. 1t makes no difference who
the candidates are or what the
platforms are, the Democrats will
carry all of the Southern states at
every election until the negro is
eliminated from politics. When
that event occurs the white pop
ulation will divide into two fac
tions on political questions, as
they do up in the North. As
long as the negro is allowed to
vote he will be on one side and
the white man on the other"

That night Maj. March's men

reaching Lagat, 40 miles distant,

Aguinaldo's papers are very
important. They show that he
took refuge in Isabella province,
where he remained until he es-
tablished himself at LabOagan,
province of Abra, where he pro
posed to direct the rainy season
operations. Until recently he was
ignorant of outside events, max

Whereabouts of Kruger.

Lorenzo Marques, June q
President Kruger yesterday was
still at Machadodorp, about half
way between Pretoria and the
Portuguese frontier, on the rail
road between the Transvaal
capital and Delagoa bay. Boer
commands totalling about l0,-
600 men held Thursday all the
positions and hills around Pre-
toria. Another large command
was at Bronkhurst's spruit,
about 40 miles from Pretoria,
on the railroad leading to Del
agoa bay.
Telegraphic communication
with the Transvaal is closed to
the public. Feverish excitement
previls here, owing to the al
most total absence of news from
either side.
The object of the trip here Of
Frichie Eloti, President Kru-
gers son-in-law, and DR.. Hey
man, the presidents physician,
appears to have been to place a
large amount of gold in safety.
