The little news that comes through from
South Africa tends to give the impression
that the people of the Orange Free State
are heartily tired of the war, welcome Lord
Roberts and give him every facility they
can to RI organize the country and put it
on a peaceful footing. President Steyn,
however, is still bellicose, and threatens to
shoot every man who signs an agreement
of submission to the British.
Richard P. Leary, governor of the island
of Guam, recently ceded TO the United
States, has issued proclamation abolish
ing slavery in the island. He says the sys-
tenn of peonage permitted during the late
Spanish control in the island, is system
of slavery, and as such is subversive Of
good government, is an obstacle to progress
sive civilization, a menace to popular lib
erty, and a violation of the sacred priv
leges guaranteed by The constitution of the
United States.

The sensational murder of William Goe-
bel and the large reward offered for the ar
rest of his assassin have attracted unusual
attention to the Kentucky tragedy, and it is
not unnatural that many stories purporting
to tell all about the killing are being
printed. Some of these may be founded on
fact, possibly the actual truth has been
told, but it is impossible to know this in
advance of a judicial inquiry, and, there
fore, the best course to adopt with all the
reports that come from the scene of the
crime is TO treat them with Indifference I'M
I'll proved PHILADELPHIA Record.

The bodies of Alfred Stout and his wife
were found Sunday night under the snow
in their barn yard, at Hetlerville, Columbia
county, Pa, both horribly mutilated. In
the same yard where the bodies were dis
covered a savage bull is kept with a num-
Der of other cattle, and it is the supposition
that while at work in the yard Mr.. Stout
was attacked by the brute. His wife, it is
thought, went to his assistance, and both
we're gored to death. Mrs. Stout's neck
was broken, and her body stripped of
clothing The husband was mangled al
most beyond recognition. 1t is believed
that the bodies had lain there five days.
