The WOOL MARKET.
Holders Do Not 0onoede to Buyers and the
Market Il Steady.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Boston yesterday said: Sever
al Of the large consumers of wool have
been in. the market during the past
week, and they have purchased about
all the medium and low woods, especial
ly quarter bloods, which they could get
at reasonable prices. AS a result of this
almost unprecedented demand for such
woods, the stocks of that grade in this
market must be reduced to a pretty low
point, but there are foreign woods Of the
same grade on the way to this country
which will fill up the gap, and 1t is need
less to say they are more ~obtainable, as
outside of the United States the sup
plies Of such woods are plentiful. Fine
woods are firm, but quiet. Prices gener-
ally are steady and as high as they have
been at any time, and the prevailing
feeling in trade Is one Of confidence and
strength. The holders Of wool will not
concede, and consumers have to pay
full prices when they purchase.

The Big TIMBER CUTTING CONTRACT.
Lumber Enough to Keep the Alamogorde
Mills Running NIGHT and Day.

The Alamogordo Lumber Company
has closed a contract with Moore & Nc
Donald, a big lumber contracting firm
of Michigan, for 200, 600, 900 feet of lum-
Der.
They are to go to work at once. The
logs, scaled, are to be delivered on the
lumber company's road. They will be
brought down to the company's mills
at A~lamogordo and sawed up there.
1t will take two years at least to get
out the number of feet contracted for.
The new firm will bring at once from
Michigan $50 men, in addition to the
ones now at work, and even this force
may be increased later. These new men
will in all probability bring their fami-
lies, and it will mean a sensible addi-
ton to the population, and a consequent
building up of the country.
The lumber company has even now
more contracts on hand for it's lumber
than it a conveniently fill.
1t handles all it's own lumber over it's
own road, and delivers it to the White
| Oaks at this place.-Alamogordo News.

so DECLARES A DISPATCH FROM DURHAM
Spenser Wilkinson Has Little Faith in the
Ability Of the Beers 10 Put Up
Strong Fight Now, Even
at Pretoria.
(By the Associated Press.)

Durham, March 24.-It is learned from
an authentic source that the Boer leaders
are aware that they are beaten, but
think they can hold out for four to six
months, within which time they firmly be-
lieve foreign intervention will force
Great Britain to grant favorable terms,
including independence.
They expect Germany or the United
States to intervene. The mission of
Messrs. Wolmarans, Fischer and Wes-
sells to Europe is to hasten this, so far
as Germany is concerned.
The Boer plans include a stand at
Kroonstadt, the Vaal River and other
points, eliminating in the defense of Pre-
toria, which has been preparing for a
siege. The ranges of the guns have been
tested mines have been laid, and the
forces in the field have not allowed them
selves to be cut off with their heavy guns,
which are needed in the forts at Pre-
toria.
The majority of the Transvaalers are
ignorant Of the gravity of the situation,
and though tired of remaining so long
from their farms, will fight hard, believ
ing that their liberty and property are at
stake and confident of ultimate success.

so DECLARES THE LATTER
Governor Taylor Not Directly Impli-
Gated by His Testimony.
PLAN TO BRING FEUDlSTS TO FRANKFORT
And go Into the Legislative Hall and Kill Off
Enough Democrats to Make it Our
Way" Several People Knew
of the Plan.
(By the Associated Press.)

Frankfort, Ky, March 24.-"John
Powers told me they had two niggers
here to kill Goebel. They were Hook
err Smith and Dick Coombs."
This statement was made today by
+. Wharton Golden, a frail, consump-
overlooking Kentucky mountaineer.
while on the witness stand in the pre-
liminary examination of Secretary of
conspiracy to kill Goebel. Golden
told a story of the events leading up
to the murder, that, if subStantiated
will, in the minds of those connected
with the prosecution at least, proba-
bly, go far toward the contention of
the Commonwealth that the murder
was the result of plan i'll which sew
eral prominent men were involved.
Whether the defence will seek to i'm
peach Golden's testimony in this pre-
liminary examination is not known.
as the attorneys for the defence Will
not talk on the subject, but unless
such attempt is made the Common
wealth will rest its case, both County
Attorney Polsgrove and Attorney
Campbell being satisfied that enough
evidence has been presented to hold
the defendant on the charges.
Golden, who claims to have been a
friend to Secretary Powers and his
brother John Powers, for years, gave
testimony that was particularly dam
aging to John Powers. but he also
brought in the names of many others,
including Charley Finley, w. IL. Gull
ton and Governor Taylor IN his story
of the bringing of the mountaineers
10 Frankfort previous to the assassi
nation.
Governor Taylor. however, was not
directly implicated, and the attorneys
for the Commonwealth intimated to-
day that they do not expect to have
his name brought forth prominently
in the story of the alleged conspiracy.
Golden, was not cross-eXamined to-
day, and adjournment was taken at
an early hour this afternoon on ac-
count of his physical condition, the
witness having a slight hemorrhage
during the morning, becoming so
weak under the strain of the e4arf
nation in the afternoon that he beg
ged to be allowed a respite.
He was quite nervous at times.
Golden's testimony tended to show
that plan was made to bring Sew
eral hundred regular mountain
feudists'' to Frankfort who. would, Il
necessary. as Golden expressed it. go
into the Legislative hall and kill off
enough Democrats to make it our
way"
The testimony did not show that
the alleged plot to kill Goebel was
part of the original plan, nor did it
contain the names of those who con-
ceived that idea. but the Common
wealth sought to show by Golden's
conversations with various people that
not only John and Caleb Powers. but
others as well had full knowledge OF
the alleged plan of assassination.

lBv The Associated Press

London, March 24-Spencer Wilkinson.
reviewing the situation at the seat of
war for The Associated Press at midnight
says:
''The two points of acute interest here
just now are Mafeking and the Boer col
umn trekking from Smithfield and Roux-
vile along the Basuto border
about Matching we are in the dark
Colonel Plumer has but handful of men
and is not strong enough to attack Com
mandant Snyman and raise the siege.
Commandant Synman therefore has at
tackled him and Colonel Plumer has pru-
IDENTIFY retired, expecting no doubt to re-
turn after Commandant Snyman, when
ever the latter goes back.
Lord Roberts never forgets small
things while attending to great things.
1t may be taken as certain that he knows.
how and when he shall have Mafeking re-
lieved supposing the garrison can hold
out but he does not disclose his plans
in advance.
General Methuen has been nearly a
week near Fourteen Streams, probably
waiting for troops enough The Boer
general who is hoping to get past Gen
eral French up at Kroonstadt may be
caught and made to fight but with few
thousand mounted men he ought to be
able by temporary disposition to elude
the British If he stands to fight he may
be detained for some time.
Lord Roberts has now been more than
ten days at Bloemfontein. He seems to
wish to settle the country behind him
before going on. Probably, too, he has
extensive preparation to complete. His
next campaign will go into the dry sea-
son, when the nights are often very cold
and the veldt is dry and bare. He will
want his men equipped for this season
and his transport service qualified to be
as nearly independent as possible of grass
and water.
THE design no doubt is that General
Butler in the next advance will move
simultaneously with Lord Roberts. Gen
eral Butler perhaps is not yet ready.
Lord Roberts will shortly have the
Eighth division and may also form of the
troops by now available, new Tenth
division. He will then have in his own
hands 10000 men and General Butler will
have 100000
1.-The former force need not necessarily
be moving all on one line, for it would
be as easy to form a third column to
cross the Vaal River at Kimberley and
turn any Boer defense on that river. In
view of these figures and the krown
power of Lord Roberts as leader, |
attach little Importance to the Boer de-
clarations that they will make big fight.
If they stand before they are driven into
Pretoria, | expect they will be enveloped
They may defend Pretoria, but that can
help them but little. 1t will be ques-
ton of weeks.
Lord Roberts may be looked for north
of the Vaal at the end of April and be-
fore Pretoria, if the Beers fall back to
that place in the first half of May"
