British Government Promptly Re
fuses The Old Mans Request.
HIS DEMANDS TOO EXACTING
London Officials Opine That He
Is Not Serious and Question
His Motives.

A London special says: Late Fri
day afternoon it was learned that the
peace rumors were founded on the fact
that President Kruger has appealed to
Lord Salisbury for cessation of hos
tilities, offering at length by cable the
terms which he is willing to accept,
These, however, are not taken seri-
ously, as they include practically moth
ing more than what the Transvaal gov
eminent offered prior to the issuing of
the British ultimatum.
Official circles regard the PROPOSE
tions as merely ruse of the Beers to
gain time and do net consider that
President Kruger is yet ready to con-
slider the weeping demands which
Great Britain will make as reimburse
ment for the loss of life and great ex-
penditure.
It was understood that President
Kruger's advances had met with an
emphatic rejection at the hands of
Lord Salisbury, who is believed to
have said that no such attempt to re-
tain the independence of the Trans
vaal can be considered for a moment
by the British government.
The dispatches from Lord Roberts
headquarters, including those of the
commander-in- chief himself, indicate q
lack of guiding spirit among the
Beers and individual decentralization,
portending disintegration unless it is
speedily stemmed. The flight of the
Beers from Poplar Grove, according
to all accounts, was wholly inglorious.
A Times dispatch from Poplar Grove
goes so far as to assert that the rout OF
the Beers was so complete that the
submission of the Free State is being
timed by the burghers from their un
willing president, and it is expected
that its submission will be made with
in week. The correspondent adds
Probably the Beers wisest course
was flight, but it was most undigni
fed, and is certain to produce conster
nation at Bloemfontein. There is I

BACON TESTS ISSUE
Georgian Presents Amendment to
The Porto Rioan Bill.
EXTENDS CONSTITUTION OVER ISLAND
senator Pettus, Of Alabama. Donouneos
the MEASURE as Illegal and
Hardly Decent

A Washington dispatch says: SEN
ator Bacon, Thursday. introduced an
amendment to the pending Porto
Rican bill, under the terms Of which
that island is recognized as coming
under the provisions of the constitu-
ton of the United States just as soon
as the plan Of government provided
in the bill becomes operative. This
amendment differs from that Of Sena-
tor Davis, which provides for free
trade as if it were simply a gift from
congress.
Senator Bacon's idea is that, what
ever the conditions as long as the
country is under military rule, as soon
as civil government is established, the
privileges of being a part of this gov
eminent shall follow as q matter of
right. To that end be provides that
the rates Of the present tariff law shall
at once go into effect against imports
going into Porto Rican ports from 9TH
er countries, but that there shall be no
tariff taxes against imports going into
those ports from any part of the
| United States.
After Mason, of Illinois, had enter
ed his motion to discharge the com
mittee on foreign relations from fur
ther consideration of his resolution
expressing sympathy for the Beers,
and it had gone over until Friday, I'M
der the rules, Mr.. Pettus, of Alabama,
addressed the senate in opposition to
the pending bill. BE argued that it
was unconstitutional and in violation
of the principles of this government,
as laid down by the fathers of the
country. He congratulated the presi-
dent on the position he had taken in
his last annual message fsvoring free
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
''No sordid politicians fingers had
been put into the ink of that message, y
he said. "The president was honest
and sincere when he distinctly advised
free trade between the United States
and the island of Porto Rico.
4ho puDllC press Is now Trying tO
make US believe that the secretary o.
war is the author of the pending bill
and that the president has acceded Il
the provisions of the measure.
''For one, refuse to believe thil
charge against the president. Though
he may desire re- election, he was
brave soldier, and is an able and gen
erous man. He has acted for the com
mon good of all the people. If he ap
proves your bill, then I may believ,
any vile story against any good man.
Mr. Pettus maintained that the pol
icy of the bill was bad, aside from tn
questions of law. 'It is illegal" h
declared, land is hardly decent"

The warrant on which Coulton was

on an affidavit made by Thomas b.

The Big "I'' in English.

Did it ever occur to you that it
might seem very egotistical for you to
write of yourself with a capital 81"
instead of using the small and less OBJ
trusive one2 The English use of the
capital 81" is one of the oldest features
of the language-to foreigner. If a
Frenchman writes referring to himself
he makes "je" (the French equivalent
of 'I'' with a small 81" So with the
German, who may use capitals to be-
gin every noun; he always uses the
small 81" in writing "ich." The
Spaniard avoids, as far as practicable,
the use of the personal pronoun when
writing in the first person, but he al
ways writes it "yo," taking pains,
however, to begin the Spanish equiva-
lent of our ''you" with a capital. In
English it is surely big 81" and little
''you," as the old saying has it.

Expert Engaged On Ex-AuditOr Hunters
Books MysteriousIy Disappears.
At Atlanta, Thursday, about noon,
H. V. Albaugh, one of the account
ants who had been engaged in examin-
ing the books of 7. J Hunter, the late
auditor of the Atlanta and West Point
railroad, suddenly disappeared, and
relatives and friends were unable to
find any trace of him.
The disappearance is a most pro-
found mystery to those who have made
efforts to locate him, and the fact that
he was working on the books of man
who had himself suddenly left the
city, to be found in a far-away-land,
made the affair remarkable and pecu-
liar.
Added so the mystery there is a
feature which gives the disappearance
of Albaugh pathetic coloring, for he
has left a wife and four little children
without means of support.

The Boer invents little, and till his
military needs became urgent had little
use for the inventions OF others. But
he has learned how to buy up-to-date
instruments OF war, and among his
defensive expedients includes barbed
wire, which he stretches along the
beds of streams exposed to the enemy,
thus expanding he market for that
commodity to our advantage, as Wey-
Ter in Cuba did year or two ago. AS

for fences, being replaced by material
of like sort without the prongs, it may

Identification of the Free State with

Dispatches from the Boer camp at
Glencoe, via Lorenzo Marques, depict
President Kruger as donning a ban
dolier, Selling rife and inviting vol
unteers to accompany him, as he
wished to have a shot at the enemy
himself.
President Kruger is also quoted as
having declared in his address to the
troops that he "did not know whether
arbitration or intervention would end
the struggle, but thai it would end
quickly, within the next month, he
strongly believed"
Meanwhile the British are not stay

In the opinion of the warden of the

EDITOR JOHNSON, of St. Peter, has

Herold's tripod and let some other fel-
low spend his cash III the fight to de-
feat McCleary in the Second. John
was willing to try it but estimated that
fund of 81, 500 was necessary to make
a decent campaign, and as editors are
not rich he thought that the State
central committee with its s35, 1000
picked from the Fusion appointees
should loosen@upon about 81 800. AS
the elongated editor had voted against
one Of the governors pet measures
while a member Of the legislature he
met with opposition from that source,
and the committee refused to come to
the scratch. Now there is blood on
the moon in the Second and the man
who is attempting to govern the desti-
MES OF the whole Populist party in
this State is not nearly so popular as
he was. Minnesota, however, stands
in no danger of losing one Of its best
