dcrer at Macon.

MACON, Ga, Jan 22.-Two negroes were
shot to death and two white men desperately
wounded as the result OF an attempt to ar
rest negro murderer here today. j. II.
Butler, colored is the man who did the
most OF the shooting and who was himself
shot to death. His victims were Armstead
Bryant, colored shot through the heart and
instantly killed; X. Seltman, white shot
through the stomach and will probably die,
and John Reed, shot in the neck and is in
a prCcaroua condition.
Butler threatened to kill negro woman
and when Policeman PearCe attempted to ar
rest him began to shoot. The negro ran up
Fourth street, one of the busiest streets in
Macon, pistol in hand, shooting at every
body in sight. His first victim was Self
man. then Bryant and last Reed fell be-
meath his aim The sound of the shooting
attracted a number of policemen and citi-
zens When Butler fell four policemen
and fifteen citizens were shooting at him.
Three heavy pistol bullets went completely
through his body and there were other
wounds.
Butler came to Georgia from North Caro-
lima eight years ago and was employed on a
South Georgia turpentne farm. II is said
that about year ago he killed two negroes
at Pinehurst, Ga.

POLICE OFFICERS ON STAND
Defend Themselves Against the
Charges of Interference mt the
Election in Louisville.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 22.-The police
force of Louisville, through four of It's Off
GERS, defended itself vigorously tonight
against the charges of interference at the
November elections which have been
brought against them by the republicans.
Captain Krakel, Lieutenant Wickham,
Captain Wright and Lieutenant Ridge were
the officers and all gave practically the
same evidence. They declared that orders
were issued before the election to the mem
bers of the police force to interfere in no
way with the election, and that the orders
were carried out in good faith. There was,
they declared, no reason why the militia
should have been called out by Governor
Bradley and no particular reason why any
extra policemen should have been sworn in,
as there was no disturbance at any time on
election day Each Of the four officers de-
clared that in his individual opinion the
presence of the militia in the armory de-
tered many people from going to the polls
On cross examination all of them declared
that they did not know the name of any
person who was so deferred,
For two days the democrats have been
talking about a second bribery sensation,
in which an attempt was made to induce
a Goebel man to vote for Taylor and today
some evidence was given before the grand
jury, no indictments being returned, how
ever. The republicans laugh at the story
and delcare there is nothing in it,

DAVIS TRIP A PERSONAL ONE
state nnd Interior Departments Deny
ae is to Perform IA DipIo-
matte Mission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Both the State
and the Interior departments authorize the
most sweeping denial of the story tina:
Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the
interior, is clothed with any diplomatic mis-
sion. 1t is declared that he represents no
department of the United States government
in his visit to South Africa, but is there
in personal capacity. Since his arrival
at Capetown, where he went to visit his
cousin, Consul General Stowe the State de-
partment has been very much annoyed at
the misconstruction that has been placed
upon his visit. 1t was to prevent further
misunderstanding on that score that the de-
partment positively declined Davis applca- =
tion for leave of absence for Stowe, who
wished to accompany Davis to Pretoria. IL
Davis visit had not been purely personal It
Is very probable that he would have been
also enjoinei from proceeding to Pretoria
for 1t was anticipated that representations
as to his purposes would he drawn. 1t is
even now possible that he will receive a re-
minder from the Interior department that
his course is embarrassing to the government.
The State department has sent no instruc-
tions TO MaCrum respecting his attitude to-
ward the newspapers since his departure
from Pretoria for the United States. In fact,
it is said that the department has no
authority whatever over Macrum, who has
passed out of the government service.

stcppage OF all news from the front caused
great anxiety last night in London.

in tc!egraphic transmission. The crowd at
the War Office stopped until late, but re-
ceived no news. The Leaders expert says
Nothing material is to be added to the
story OF yesterday. Not a word from Butler
would have refrained from reporting last
night had he any good news. One thing
only do we know, that the enemy is at
length outmatched in artillery, but his SUI
premacy in rifle fire seems to remain
at is unnecessary to make any remarks
upon the composition of the staff of the
Eighth division, save that another guards
man is pushed up two steps by the vicious
old system and absurd rule that guardsmen
must be commanded by guardsmen, and as
there are two battalions of guardsmen in this
bridage this rule commends itself to a sec
retCry of state for war most of whose rela-
tlveS are in household troops"
In private an editor says Methuen got
command because he is guardsman.
The Posts expert says: 1T should be re-
membered every British critic shares the
hopes Of his readers and ill hesitate to say
a word that might be interpreted as un-
favorable. The comment by the German
military critics shows that some of the best.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22,-The first witness
in the Molineux trial today was Dr. Henry
T. Loomis, who performed an autopsy on
the body of II. C. Barnet. He has made a

Caolegram-Special Telegram DIR. w. j.
Leyds, the Transvaal envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary in Eu-
rope, dictated the following important
statement just before leaving here today on
"A diplomatic mission to Paris and Berlin:
In view of the new and critical phase
into which the war is now entering, | send
TO the people of America few words on
the subject of any eventful proposals in re-
gard to the suspension of hostilities. a de-
sire LOT Whlch appears to be gaining strength
on both sides of the Atlantic
Let me say at the outset that am
as confident as ever OF the ultimate triumph
OF our cause. A temporary success of the
British arms would merely have the effect
o. intusng fresh vigor into our men and
strengthening their determination to hold
out at whatever cost
While the actual fighting strength of
beth forces is only now about equal, England
might even double her army now in South
Africa without crushing our powers of re-
sistance
But however resolved to continue the
struggle, we have ever been desirous TO
take advantage OF any turn in affairs which
might leave the door open to terms OF honor
able settlement
i am grateful to Mr.. Stead and that con-
siderable portion of the public, both Rrit
lsh and American, who are urging the dis
continuance of the war on terms satlsfac
tory to both belligerents.
Although not signatory TO the peace
conference, the Transvaal has ever been
wiling to profit by that portion OF The
Hague convention which invites friendly
interference on the part of a neutral bower
Moreover indications have not been want
ing since the outbreak of hostilities that
President Kruger would never bar the door
10 resumption of those negotiations which
were broken-if not through the bad faith
OF the British government, at least by an
unfortunate misunderstanding which
friendly conference nigh al Shat tins, have
settled.
But 1t is not our place-especially while
England is hurrying fresh troops to South
Africa-to make the first advances. Past
events absolutely preclude such a course
and am equally confident of the future.
Yet this does not alter the fact that
President Krugers attitude is, and will re-
main, one of conciliation, and that he
would be both ready and desirous to treat
on any terms which assured the South Af-
rican republics that independence so much
insisted on in a British statement during
an early period of the negotiations"

FIGHTING Must HAVE TAKEN PLACE
Butler Not Likely to give Beers Time
30 Strengthen Entrcnchmemts.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-4:15 a. m.-General
Butler has reported nothing of his operations
on Monday and official and press intelligence
leaves the British bivouacked Sunday night
on the ground they had won after two days
fghting The War office turned everybody
out of the lobbles at midnight. Apparently
Lord Lansdowne was as much without news
all yesterday as other persons were. Mill
tary men assume that fighting must have
taken place and that Il was probably more
severe than on the two preceding days. Cen
eral Butler would not be likely to give the
Beers leisure 10 add to the elaborate en-
trenchments, to arrange their artillery and
to concentrate their forces
The special correspondents Sunday night
were allowed to send the announcement that
sumed tho following day and hence official
and popular anxiety is at high tension The
British military experts all share the hopes
OF their leaders and. as Spencer Wilkinson
points out. they hesitate to say word that
might be interpreted as unfavorable. Mr..
Wilkinson refers to the cooler judgment OF
German and Austrian critics" which meaus
that some OF the best judges look upon
General Buffers enterprise as a forlorn
hope, as merely a continual strain OF fight
ing which may prove too much for the phys
ical energy OF the troops engaged
The Daily Chronicle military expert says:
Even when battle IS won in a single
day as a rule pursuit is only possible when
fresh troops are available But in this in
stance It is not question OF mere pursuit,
