SKIPPER CASE DECIDED.
Plaintiff Won-Attorney ". F. Cole
 man Heard Some Testimony.

l
 In the federal court at Little Rock Tuesdy, the jury in the famous Skip per vs. The Union Central Life h. surance Company's case, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Mrs. Skip per was given $10,000 with accrued interest, amounting 70 $2.600. the principal represen ting policies on the life of the late W. F. Skipper, of Baxter, Drew county. Payment on the policies to the beneficiary was resisted by the insurance company on the conten tion that Skipper com- mitted suicide.
 This was the third trial of the celebrated suit. Ia the first acd second trials there was hung jury each time.
 The. case is one ofsthe most inter- esting in Arkansas court annals. w.. F. Skipper, mill man and merchant at Baxter, Ark, was found dead May 13, 1896 It was upsequently claimed by many that he was mur- dered by James Redd and Alex Johnson for the purpose uf robbery
 Redd and Johnson were indicted, tried and convicted of murder in the first degree in the Drew circuit court. They were granted a new trial ty the supreme court. In the second trial the two negroes were again found guilty of murdering Skipper and sentenced to hang on November 27, 1897 Again they appealed to the supreme court and once more the cases were remanded for new trial. Before Redd and Johnson's third trial could be reacE- ed in the Drew circuit court, how ever, a mob entered the jail where the two negroes were confined and shot them tt death.
 The suit was famous one.
 Attorney W. K. Coleman, of thls city, spent two days in the capital listening to the testimony and argu- ments in the case. He says the vic tory is good one for the plaintiffs attorneys, principally Farrar Nc Cain, who worked up all the expert testimony that convinced the jury that the death of Skipper was not a suicide but homicide.
 "The physicians that testified, y said Mr. Coleman, land they are among the best in the state, were about evenly divided as to whether it was homicide or suicide.
 Mrs. Skipper was deserving of the money and I am glad that she received the verdict.

FATE OF A MONSTER.
An Unruly Elephant Is Strangied
During an Attempt to Sub
due Him.

New York, April 23.-"Dick," vi
cious elephant belonging to the Sells
g. Forepaugh circus, was strangled to
death in Madison Square garden Sun
day in a futile attempt to subdue his
belligerent disposition. According to
member of the circus, it was not in
tended to destroy him. Dick was one
of the eight original Forepaugh dam
cling elephants and was trained by
Adam Forepaugh, Jr., nearly 20 years
ago. Until last winter he was one of
the most consistent performers in the
circus, but few weeks ago in Column
bus, o., while preparations were being
made to bring the show to this city, he
began showing a rebellious DISPOSE
ton. When the circus reached Madi-
son Square garden Dick became dam
gerous, and heavy chains were fastened
to his four legs and also to his tusks.
He was taken out of the "Quadrille"
dance, as he was manageable. While
preparations were being made Sunday
morning to move the circus from the
garden Dick started to trumpet. Fear
ing stampede of the Ia elephants,
Lewis Sells, one of the proprietors, de-
cided upon stern measures to subdue
him. Huge ropes were passed around
the giants body and about his neck;
dozen men seized the ends and began
to pull, the idea being to choke him
into submission. Finding that the men
made no impression upon him, Mr.. Sells
had elephants attached to the ropes.
They pulled with such vigor that the
ropes frightened about Dicks neck and
choked him to death. The carcass was
cut up and carted away. 1t took IA
men nearly 10 hours to perform the
TASK. The elephant was about IS years
Of age and weighed 5000 pounds. The
skin may be stuffed and placed in An

WORDS OF CENSURE.
Roberts Structures on Trusted Gen.
erals Published in London.
Butler and Warren Charged with
Incapacity-BOers Reported to He
Retreating-Gen. JOubert's
Successor Appointed.

London, April 18.-The government
has chosen this as the moment to pub
lish dispatch from Lord Roberts
pronouncing censure upon Sir Redvers
Butler and Sir Charles Warren, two of
his most important subordinate COM
manders. This dispatch. written Feb
ruary 10, has been in the hands OF the
war office for five weeks. Just why it
Is published now, in the middle of the
campaign, is not understood, unless t
Is expected that Gen. Butler and Gen.
Warren will ask to be relieved of their
commands. The revelation of their in
capacity must tend to undermine the
confidence of the troops in their lead
ership.
The reports were published in the
Gazette and comprise Gen. Buffers re-
port on Spion Kop and the operations
from January II to January "a and
Lord Roberts comments dated Febru-
airy 10. Lord Roberts deals severely
with Gen. Warren and some others.
Even Gen. Butler does not escape. Lord
Roberts complains that the plan OF
operations is not clearly described in
the dispatches. After sketching Gen.
Buffers intentions, as communicated
to Sir Charles Warren, who command
ed the whole force, Lord Roberts points
out that Gen. Warren seems to have
concluded, after consultation with his
officers, that the f1anking movement
ordered by Gen. Butler was imprac-
ticable, and, therefore, so changed the
plan of advance as to necessitate the
capture and retention of Spion Kop.
Strict Censorship.
A dispatch from Cape Town, under
Fridays date, says: 1.-The censorship
restrictions have been greatly in
creased owing to the movements of the
troops" All the dispatches bear traces
of the strenuous efforts of the CORE
spondents to give their papers an ink
ling of what is afoot.
Beers Retreating.
The Beers south of Bloemfontein are
reported to be retreating. Large COM
mands were seen April 10 near Thaba
N'Chu, moving to the north. Their
progress was slow, however, owing to
the terrible condition of the country.
BY way of Pretoria comes report that
fever is decimating the Mafeking gar
rison, and letter from the mayor of
Mafeking says Lord Roberts asked Col.
Baden-Powell to hold out until May 20.
To Succeed Joubert.
Pretoria, April 81. = Maj Gen.
Schalkburger has been gazetted vice
president lin succession to the late
Con. Joubert) and Gen. Louis Botha

BIG FIGHT IS ON.
a Decisive Battle Is Being Fought, 10
L. Probable, Between Brit
ish and Beers.

London, April 23.-It is quite prob
able that by this time Gen. Sir Henry
Rumble has fought a decisive battle
with the Beers. He entrenched himself
Saturday to await the arrival of Gen.
Campbell with the Sixteenth brigade.
That commander arrived Saturday
evening, and news may therefore be
expected at any moment.
London, April 23.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, April n.-Rundle's force
came in contact with the enemy yester-
day, four miles southwest Of Dewets
dorp. They occupied strong positions COW
ering the town. The yeomanry and mount
ed infantry seized another position which
enabled Rumble to drive the enemy or and
occupy the high ground the enemy had
been holding. Rumble advanced this morn
Ing early and Is now again engaging with
the enemy. Our casualties yesterday were
two men severely wounded and Lieut..
OConnor and seven men slightly wound
ed"
1t is still impossible to ascertain the
position of affairs at Bloemfontein or
to learn when the long-expected adj
vance northward will begin. The dis
patches conflict regarding the state
of the preparations. For instance, the
Bloemfontein correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle says that the troops
have been supplied with winter cloth
ing and that the Modder river has
fallen sufficiently to permit cavalry to
cross. The Standards representative
says almost the exact opposite. Pres
ent indications, however, point to still
further delay.
Without attaching undue imPor-
lance to the stories from Lourenzo
Marques concerning the strength Of
the Boer forces, it would almost seem
that the former estimates of 10000
were rather low. The Lourenzo
Marques correspondent of the Times,
under Saturdays date, says: Informa-
ton received from responsible sources
shows that at one time the two re-
publics had 10000 men in the field.
including the colonial rebels. Accord
ing to the same informant, they can
still muster $4,000, of whom $4,000 are
in the Free State, 10000 are in the
Biggarsberg district, and $4,000 in the
districts of Fourteen Streams and
Klerks Dorp. 1t is now believed that
before the war the burgher lists were
deliberately falsified in order to de-
ceive the British intelligence depart
ment.
London, April 23.-The Daily News
has the following from Lourenzo Mar
ques, dated Friday, April 2O.-Gen. De
Wet has been killed. Other European
ambulance corps beside the Irish
American are taking up arms in be-
half Of the Beers. The latter are I'M
able to obtain smokeless powder.
Trenches are being constructed for
eight miles around Pretoria. There
are 50 guns In position at Kroonstad
and seven French guns at Pretoria.
Twenty-Five mines at johannesburg
have been charged with dynamite and
the johannesburg fort has been dis
mantled.

PLANS FOR HAWAII.
Conferees Agree ON Bill Establishing
. Complete Form OF Govern
ment for Islands.

Washington, April 1S.-After ex.
tended meetings unanimous agree
ment was reported Tuesday by the
house and senate conferees on the Ha-
waiiap government bill. The senate
conferees yielded to the house meas
ure, which passed as a substitute for
the senate bill as whole, although a
number of amendments were made.
A synopsis of the measure follows:
The bill establishes a complete form Of
government for the islands, with a gov
ernor and other executive officers, a legis-
lature of two branches and judicial
branch consisting of a supreme court, cir
cult courts and inferior courts. The bill
provides that Hawaii shall be represent
cd In congress by delegate who shall
have a seat in the house of representatives
with right to debate but not vote. The
delegate to congress Is to be chosen at an
election of the people. There is no tariff
provision in the bill. as the tariff laws
Of the United States are extended over
the island. and the territory of Hawaii
Is specifically made "a customs district
OF the United States" with ports of en-
try at Honolulu. Hilo, Hahukona and
Kahului.
AS to the crown lands which have been
source of some controversy, II is pro-
vided: THAT the portion of the public
domain heretofore known as crown lands
Is hereby declared to have been. on Au-
gust II, 1895. and prior thereto, the prop
erty Of the Hawaiian government and to
be free and clear from any trust of or con-
corning the same. and from all claim Of
any nature whatsoever upon the rents,
issues and profits thereof 1t shall he
subject to alienation and other uses as
may be provided nv law"
The Chinese on the island are given ono
year to obtain certificates of residence.
but the conferees struck out the amend
ment inserted by Representative Dear
mond. of Missouri. providing that "all Chi
nese and other Asiatics'' arriving since
the island was acquired by the United
States shall depart within one year or
else be deported by the government. This
latter provision was omitted In view OF
the belief that the Japanese have secured
a treaty status in Hawaii and that their
forcible deportation by the United States
would invite serious and needless breach
with Japan.
