New York. Ian. 26.-At n meeting of

made by John Hays Hammond. the

said I'm part: The Beers have always
been. and still are. anxious TO sell their
lands for mining purposes. and topOck-
81 the proceeds.
The reason Of their dSinclinItion TO
work the mines for themselves il easy
10 find. 1t has been widely said that
the mines of the Rand ,the most impOr-
tant gold district in the TransVaaD are
very rich. ON the contrary. they are
low grade mines. The rock contains 80

ginccrS who had acquired on the Pa
Ciiic coast the required knowledge and
experience.

American engineers engaged in the

Obliged by the terms Of our employ
ment tu risk our lives in the defense
OF the interests Of the absent owners
whom we represented. Yet with a feel
ing OF loyalty to the trust repo>ed in
IL. for which think no American
would reproaCh us. We made common
cause with our employers in the at
tempt TO resist the pluuder Of their
property through unjust and unlawful
eNtortiouS.
These extartionS were both innum-
erablc and intolCrable. comprising eN-
orbitant taxation: government grants
to private mOnopOlicS: corrupt admin
i>tratiOn CT legislation; the denial OF
the personal Ught of peaceahle aSSeIn-
bly, for the statement OF grievances.
and the denial OF representation upon
reasonable conditions of franchise for
interests representing more than two
thirds the population. more than one
half the land. more than nine-JenthS OF
the property. and more than nine
tenths the taxes paid in the Trans
vaal.
However. our legal remedy In the
supreme court OF the republic had been

Board Of PnTtlOns.

Tho above mentioned board met
Saturday morning III special session
to consider the cases Of Yep Sow, u
ChiDaman sent to tho State prison
from Esmeralda county number oi
years ago FOR murder ia the second
degree, and the case OF Joseph Dcla.
sentenced for Il term of 20 years for
murder in Lincoln county in October
1895.
Gen. Torrcysun presented the case
OF Yep Sow and the board after ma
turo dclibcratioD extended pardon
to him. Tho old Chinaman was nt
once liberated.
Tho case Of Della il peculiar in the
extreme. During the later part Of
1890 at DcL.amar, nh Indian girl I'M.
der fourteen years OF age was found
dead in Il wagon used as Il sleeping
apartment by Della. DR.. Bryeon
made an examination OF her body and
found that she had como to her death
from many CHuscs. a small bruise
Tas found upon her forehead about
the size OF ten cent piece. a hasty
examination disclosed tho fact tnnt
blood from internal pnris covered her
body and TINT her nerves were para
lyzed. Tho doctor concluded that tho
drinking Of alcohol, tho bruiso upon
her forehead and internal hcmor-
rhagGs caused hor death. Della was
arrested and charged with murder. .
After tho preliminary steps necessary
In nll criminal cascs, Dcla was placed
upon trial, Tho grand jury in the
mean time indicted him upon two
charges. murder and rape. Della wus
tried upon tho murder plnsc OF the
case and under instructions from the
court no was found guilty Of rapo.
The judge then sentenced him TO the
State prison Tor 20 years upon the
grounds TINT the jury had found
him guilty ot murder. No degree OF
murder wns specified aud Della came
to the State prison IN 1895 to servo
his term. for crime for winch he was
not found guilty. Since that time ho
he hns applied for II pardon twice, ono
