London. April PC. 6 a m.-The chances that
the Beers who have been investing Wepener
may after all succeed in eluding the net which
General Roberts set to entrap them are greatly
enhanced by the fact that when they raised the
siege and retreated by the Ladybrand road they
were unpursued. This item of news is tele-
graphed by a Times correspondent who has
been with Daigetty. The next forty-eight hours
ought 10 show. however. whether the Beers have
succeeded in reforming in the neighborhood of
Ladybrand with a view to holding the rich corn

probability is that they have retreated toward

Bennett Burleigh. in a dispatch to The Tele-

Post he found all the slide valves Of the new

gines had been carried away by the Beers.
1t is reported from Pretoria that General
Methuen has evacuated Boshof AS his force

The Times correspondent at Lourenco Mar

said John G. Price is the only accredit- ed representative from Alaska, with au- thority to speak for her people, or rep resent their views at Washington.
 ?. That John G. Brady, governor of Alaska, has no authority to speak for or on behalf of the people of Alaska;
 3. That in so far as the legislative re- quirements of the territory are concern ed, the said John G. Brady favors legis- lation to which the people of Alaska are opposed, and which if enacted would result disastrously to the growing in dustries of the territory;
 4. That any views expressed in Washington by John G. Brady are his opinions as a private citizen only, and entitled to no more weight, the very nature of his office excluding him from speaking for the people in represent ative capacity;
 ,. That we are reuncompromisingly op- posed to the passing of the Grout bill;
 6. That we are unanimously in favor of the passing of the Knox bill, which provides for a delegate to congress to be elected by the people;
 '. That a copy of these resolutions and of the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded at once to Hon. John G.. Price for immediate presentation to the committees of both houses of congress and to such other persons as to him may seem advisable;
 WheeIock moved the adoption of the report as read, which motion was sec onded, and after Chairman Delaney had read the Knox and Grout bills the ques- tion was put and theresolutions unani- mously adopted.
 On motion of J. G. Davies a commit tee of three, consisting of Messers. Os- car Foote, J. G. Davies and L. c. Kauf- man, were appointed to prepare statistics showing Juneau as the proper place for the territorial capital, such data to be forwarded at once with the resolutions to Washington.
 It was decided to telegraph Delegate Price synopsis of the action of the meeting.

Agreeable to this call a number of Juneauites assembled in the opera house last Friday evening, Douglas City being unrepresented at this solemn conclave. We say solemn, for such it seemed to be, for the men stood around with their hands in their pockets and a pensive look on their faces, evidently expecting that serious work was before them. There are exceptions to all gen. eraI rules, and of course there were to the above, for way over on the other side of the room stood Ed Russell of the Dispatch who had a smile on his face as long as the cane we carried. MT. Bed doe was the most determined looking man in the room, with Judge Denny a close second. Cough, of the Miner, looked fierce and carried a small, we'll worn reporters book in his hand. Prof. Denny and John Olds were the only signers of the call that we saw there. Geo. Higgins of the Truth was there in his usual quiet way and seemed to be in full sympathy with the object of the meeting.
 Prof. Denny mounted the stage and was ready for business when Judge De- laney was nominated for chairman. Every ybody seemed willing to have the Judge elected and he was chosen with out any opposition. Prof. Denny was elected secretary. The chairman want ed table which was produced.
 The secretary read the call.
 The chairman made a short speech explaining the object of the meeting and thanked those present for the

BY FRANK MCBRIDE.
Independence (Kan.) ) Tribune.

ANGELES, P. l., Dec. 8th, 1899.
 DEAR MOTHER AND FATHER:-Well, we are still at Angeles doing provost guard duty and growing at the fate that keeps us chained to this monotonous life. There is not boy in the com pany but is wild to get out into the thickest of the fray. To be sure we have been out on several "hikes," and are credited with having captured a number of towns, but these military exploits look much better on paper than they appeared in reality. As a matter of fact most of these towns have fallen with firing shot on either side, and the total casualties amount to two Filipinos killed and few more wounded-our forces escaping without a scratch; remember, l am talking now of the 32nd, and not of the American forces as whole. As a matter of fact the American arms have within the past six weeks accomplished more than in all the preceding campaigns.
 Wheaton, Lawton, Col. Bell and Me Arthur have kept the nimble Aguinal-

great honor of being selected to preside as it's chairman.
 Things were mighty cool around there about this time. The chair stat ed that he was awaiting the pleasure of the meeting, but there they sat, cold, frigid, frost-like, as it were.
 The silence became oppressive, but was soon thereafter broken by MT. Beddoe who. moved the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions. The chair named this committee, Davis, Beddoe, Russell, Foote and Denny.
 At this time in stepped Mayor Blu menthaI, surrounded by about twenty of his friends. He stepped forward and asked the chairman what the com mittee was to do. The chair explained the object of the meeting and went the Mayor one better, he re-read the names of the committee. Judge Delaney looked very solemn when he read the names of the committee without re- quest, but he knew that the Mayors feelings toward one member of the committee were such that the two would not knowingly bathe in the same ocean.
 A recess was then taken to give the committee a chance to prepare its roast.
 The committee on resolutions re- ported the following:
 Be it remembered that on the ninth day of February, 1900, in pursuance of notices published in the daily and week Iy newspapers in the city of Juneau, District of Alaska, mass meeting of the citizens of Juneau was held at the Opera House, Juneau, for tho purpose of considering resolutions adopted by the citizens of Skagway, with refer ence to certain proposed legislation, by congress, which legislation, if enacted would deny the people of Alaska the right to elect representative to con gress, and for the purpose of taking such further action as shall best aid our delegate, Hon. John G. Price, in carrying out the will of the people as expressed by the recent Alaska terri torial convention.
 Whereas, the resolutions passed at Skagway, by the people in mass meet ing assembled as aforesaid, are hereby adopted in their entirety.
 And whereas, it is the sense of the mass meeting that the enactment of the Grout bill which provides that the sec retary of the interior shall appoint the governor or secretary of Alaska as delegate to congress would be a viola tion of our constitutional right to elect our own delegate, and would tend to perpetuate the pernicious influences which have for so many years directed the economic and political destinies of Alaska, and have retarded it's growth and hampered the development of it's resources;
 And whereas, in the performance of his duties as the properly accredited representative of the convention afore- said, John G. Price has experienced op- position from John G. Brady, governor of Alaska, who has thrown the weight of his official influence in a direction contrary to the expressed will of the people of Alaska, thus seriously threat ening to frustrate and make non-efect- i've the labors of said convention.
 1. Therefore be it resolved: That the

do on a continuous rout, and it looks as if the iusurrectionists could not last another month. When we came here, this was the "fring line," and the far thest point to which our troops had ad- vanced Now we control the railroad to it's terminus, 100 miles to the north, and having driven the "Gugus" into the hills, controlling the entire western part of the island north of Manila.
 It's this feeling that the war is prac- tically over that makes us boys impa- tient to mix up in at leastr one good scrap, but the chances are beginning to look rather dim. Part of our company and the biggest part of our regiment are out on an expedition now, under Gen. Grant, who is our brigade com mander, but there is little hope of their mixing up in any of the big battles as they are so far behind the main col umns. Life here is one dreary monot- ony. We have to guard about dozen soldier prisoners (white): and like number of natives, and keep the town clean. I am on duty every other day, and of course half my nights are dis turbed. Nevertheless, l am enjoying splendid health and altogether am en- toying life as much as possible. Our food is fairly good, and our quarters in the best houses in the town. The town is now full of natives, who have return ed to their homes and opened up their places of business, and they are allow ed local governments native mayor and council have been elected and in- ducted into office The natives around here seem very friendly, and have wholesome respect for Uncle Sam's re- serves. It seems to me that there will be but little trouble in governing the islands when the insurrection is once put down.
 But one thing impresses itself on the soldiers mind before he has been there long-no matter how dense he may be, or what his previous prejudices may have been, and that is that the natives are entirely unfit for self.government, and that the islands are so richin nat ural resources that we would be worse than foolish to give them up. It is an actual fact that I have not struck a soldier that is opposed to holding the Islands, and scarcely one who does not think that the war was conducted as successfully as the circumstances would permit. The boys are for Me Kinley regardless of party affiliations.
 wish could describe to you the natives in their native toggery, their indoIence aud good nature. They are naturally intelligent and bright, but without the least ambition, and the women are far from possessing the charms and graces with which some imaginative soldiers have endowed them. have been more surprised in regard to the climate than anything else. This is now the dry season-it has not rained for nearly four weeks but it does not get hot except in the middle of the day, and then it is only in the sum- The nights are cool, and I have slept under a blanket ever since I have been on the Island. I am told, however, that it gets hotter as the season advances.

THEY nET TO ABSOLUTE.
Juneau and Douglas City Issue Call for Mass Meeting. Backing up Delegate
 J. G. Price.

The bill introduced in Congress to give Alaska representation in the lower house, not chosen by the people, is re- garded with much disfavor by the peo- pie of this district, and in the opinion of the News, very properly too, for if we are to be represented at all we should be permitted to choose by ballot or convention the person most acceptable to the people. The demand of the peo- pie, however, is so reasonable that we do not apprehend Congress would give us representation that we do not desire. To bring this matter before the au thorities at Washington, Juneau and Douglas City issued the following call:
 MASS MEETING.
 A mass meeting of the citizens of Ju- neau and Douglas is hereby called to meet at the Juneau opera house, on Friday evening, Feb. 9th, at o'clock D. m. for the purpose of considering the resolutions adopted by the citizens of Skagway, with reference to certain pro- posed legislation by Congress, which legislation if enacted would deny the people of Alaska the right to elect representative to Congress and for the purpose of taking such action as shall best aid our delegate, Hon. J. C.. Price, in carrying out the will of the people as expressed by the recent Alaska ter ritorial convention.
