London, March IA special dis
umn Of British troops from Zululand
has entered the Transvaal and has
been daily skirmishing with small par
ties of Beers. The force consists of
mounted infantry, Natal scouts and ar
tillery, all commanded by Major
Prendergast. The column first crossed
the border on Feb. %. 1t now occu-
pies an entrenched position on Catasa
hill, nine miles within the Transvaal.
Dutch in Rebellion.
A dispatch from Cape Town says:
NEARLY the whole Of the Dutch pop
ulatiOn of the Prieska and Kenhardt
district are in rebellion. Many Of the
Dutch from neighboring districts are
reported to have joined them, notably
Piet MoOlman, who will lead the reb-
els to Brandhles. Lucas Steinkamp,
commanding the Beers, is reported
marching on CarnavarOn. 1t is be-
lieved that GOrdonia and Victoria West
will rise. 1t is thought that the total
number of men in arms will exceed
5000. The general opinion of loyalists
is that strong force of British will
be required, as reverse would spread
the rebellion"
To Dampen Mischievous Agitation.
While. waiting for the important de-
velopments which are daily expected
to occur in the Free State rumors of
peace recur The second edition of
The Times contains dispatch from
Cape Town which says there is a cry
ing need for an explicit statement by
the British ministry that nothing
short of annexation is intended in or.
der to "dampen the mischievous agi.
tation that is going on under the pre-
text of a demand for peace"

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
Delegates to the First National Conven
ton Meet at Indianapolis.


ton Meet at indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind. March 6.-The
first national convention of the Social
Democratic party, for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for president
and vice president, met here in Reich
veins hall. About fifty delegates
were present Many were expected to
arrive during the day. Several of the
delegates carried proxies.
The two matters of Importance be-
fore the convention are the nominal
tions and the absorption of the Social
list Labor party, which is n 'bottling'
section Of the Social Labor party, of
which Daniel De Leon of New York
was the dividing power. His side was
sustained in court in q controversy
over the party emblem. The "bolting''
section named J. Il. Hartman of Call
fornia for president and Max Hayes
of Cleveland, O., for vice president.
1t is proposed that the Socialist La
Dor party, with approximately $1,000
members. amalagamate with the Social
Democrats and accept the nominees of
that party. There is also some talk
favorable by State Secretary Walters
of the POpulist committee of Il fusion
with the middle-of-theroad Populists.
e. V. Debs. V. L. Berger and other
leaders say, howver, that the Social
Democrats will enter fusion with no
party, but will absorb any. 1t is now
believed that Eugene V. Debs will be
made the presidential candidate. If he
should be nominated Hartman will
likely be the candidate for vice presi-
dent.
