Bloemfontein road crosses a tributary
of the Modder river.
A dispatch from Lorenzo Marques
dated today announces the arrival there
of Captain Haldane of the Border High
landcrs and Lieutenant lie MeSurie
of the Dublin Fusiliers, who escaped
from Pretoria after periious adventures.
It appears that after Winston ChurchiiPs
escape, the sentries were doubled, cleo
tric light was installed, additional bar
ricades were constructed and the Off
GERS were confined in the model school
after $50 p. m.
Captain Haldane says that after sew
eraI unsuccessful ATTEMPTS thew s11c-
ceeded in cutting off the electric light,
but even then the street lamps preclud-
ed an attempt to escape, and they de-
cided to hide in the space behind the
building to which a trap door had r1rev-
had been announced that the officers
would be removed elsewhere in a few
days when it was hoped that the two
men would be able to escape
But the removal of the prisoners was
postponed, and the two men in the
damp, Subterranean dwelling began to
despair and commenced digging in diff
ferent directions in the hope of finding
a suitable exit. The work was most
ardu0us, as they had only a screw
driver and a skewer with which to dig
the ground, which was as hard as rock.
The imprisoned officers March 15, heard
would be removed the following day.
After passing twenty days under
ground in cramped position and sub
sisting on a little food and water SUD-
piled by some of their fellow prisoners,
who were in their confidence, their de-
light at the good news was indescrib-
able. The following morning they heard
the officers above leaving and all day
long the room was filed with curious
visitors looking at the clever caricatures
on the walls drawn by the prisoners.
When evening came the noise ceased
and Haldane and lie Mes driere crepr
to the trap door. They were so weak
that they could hardly walk, but grad
ually recovering they made their way to
the court yard, got over the ratings and
reached the street.

MACHINISTS WIN.
Return to Work Nine Hours for
Ten Hours Pay.

Chicago. April with the blowing
of the whistles in the machine shops
of Chicago for the beginning of work
today thousands of machinists resumed
the work interrupted some weeks ago
by a strike. About half of the five
thousand five hundred men who went
out resumed their labors this morning,
and the manufacturers said that as the
differences had either been settled or
put on a basis to be arbitrated. the re-
mander of the machinists would uh-
doubtedly return in struggling lots dur
ing HE next two or three days. The
agreement entered into recently by rep
resentatiVes of the manufacturers and
the men was ratified yesterday at a
mass meeting, the vote being S,208 in
favor of ratifying the modified agree
ment and 1896 against it. The strike
has cost the men half a million dollars
in salaries, while the loss to the manu-
facturers through inability to complete
contracts cannot be readily calculated.
The men have been granted a nine
hour day with ten hours pay.
Fifty thousand members of the build
ing trades council learned that their
fellow workmen in another trade had
gone back to work with feelings of
envy. By reason of strikes and lock-
outs they have been out for over a
month, yet the settlement of the

tractors seems as far aWaV as ever

TO ENJOIN COLE.
Clay Center Brings Suit to Pre-
vent Purchase of Parsons
Asylum Site.

A petition was filed before Judge Hazen
in the district court Saturday night at
o'clock to enjoin and restrain State Audi
tor George E. Cole from issuing warrants
for SIS. 900 in payment for the land at Par
sons condemned by John Seaton and
Michael Heery to be used as the location
for the new asylum. The hearing has been
set for April Il.
The petition is brought by the state
of Kansas on the relation of A. P. Jet
more, county attorney" and was filed by
Coleman and Williams of Clay Center.
The petition says in part:
And the plaintiff AYERS that the said
John Seaton and Michael Heery have no
authority as a board of public works for
the state of Kansas; that said board OF
public works has ceased to exist by rea-
son of the fact that for more than four
years it has performed no acts, no duties.
and has not been recognized or treated
by the state of Kansas, nor by the gov
ernor OF the state, oI the legislature OF
the state, and of the members of the
board itself, the said board ceased to ex-
1st and had no legal existence. Ihat IN
the year 1897 the said John Seaton re-
signed as a member of said board and no
person was ever appointed IN ms STEAD
and the full term for which the said John
Seaton was appointed for said board has
long since expired ana no successor has
ever been appointed That the term of
office for which said Michael Heery was
appointed has long since expired and no
| person has been appointed in his stead
That the said pretended board has no
president. no secretary and has no exist
ence as q board and no authority as such.
plaintiff further AYERS that said pre-
tended condemnation of the said HEnds
was made without proper advertisement
and notice as required by law and that
/ no notice such as is required by law of
| the intention of the said Heery and Sea
! ton to condemn the said lands or to ap-
| praise the same or fix the values thereof
4 was ever given or published in any news
paper nor in any other manner provided
/ by law.
THE plaintiff further AYERS that more
/ than four years had elapsed since the be
! ginning of the term as members Of the
| board of public works Of the said John
| Seaton and Michael Heery and that if
any law of the state of Kansas purports
to confer upon the said John seaton and
| Michael Heery the right to hold said Of
| fees for a longer period than four years.
I the same is void and unlawful, being in
! contravention of Section of Article Is. Of
| the Constitution Of the State of Kansas"

WYOMING FOREST FIRES.
Them-sheeP Herders and
Flocks in Danger.

Saratoga, Wyo., Aug. 2O.-The for
est fires continue to rage in the
mountains between Battle Lake and
Grand Encampment, and those towns
and the numerous mining camps and
sheep camps are threatened with de-
struction. The herders were forced
to drive their flocks high up in the
mountains to get feed, owing to the
scarcity of both feed and water on
the plains below, and it is feared
that many of these herders have been
surrounded with their flocks by the
flames. The timber is as dry as tin
der and burns fiercely. Nothing can
prevent the progress of the flames ex-
cept heavy rain.
1t is estimated that the loss thus
far, exclusive of the millions of feet
of fine timber, will be over 100000.
Miners have joined the forest rang
ers in the work of fighting the fires.
Their combined efforts, however seem
to be of no avail.

GALLANT JAPANESE TROOPS.
The Little Men Have Won Unstinted
Praise for Their GalIantry
and Dash.

London, Aug. 20.-Military men here
are much impressed by the accounts
of the extraordinary gallantry and
efficiency displayed by the Japanese
troops in China, though it does not
surprise those who had opportunities
of seeing their behavior during the
last war with China.
A British naval officer, who was at
tached to the Japanese quarters dur
ing that campaign, said that combined
steadiness and dash he thought the
japanese were equal to the best regi-
ments of any European army. In the
present brief operations they have
already covered themselves with hon
or. At the battle of Pei-Tsang the
manner in which the Japanese cavalry
charged strG~ght at a Chinese battery
and sabred the gunners is described
as magnificent. Their fault is that
they are too impetuous, and lose men
through their reckless courage, but
in this war, as in their previous con-
hict with China. they have shown that
no drawer troops and more enduring
soldiers can be found in the ranks of
European armies.

A MINNESOTA TRAGEDY.
His Wife and Two of His
Stcp-ChiIdren.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 20.-An Ar
lington (Minn.) special to the Dis
patch says:
Last night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, Theodore Wallart, a farmer
living three miles from town, killed
his wife and two of his step-children,
a girl of 16, and a baby, and seriously
wounded his 10-year-old step-son. He
then set fire to his barns, destroy
ing the stable, with nine horses, a
corn Grip and a full hay barn. Three
years ago Wallart married the widow
SJarnbers, and for some little time
they had been having trouble. The
wife had recently been trying to Sc
cure a divorce, and had taken means
to prevent Wallart from coming to
the farm. Sunday morning, after
practicing in the woods with a re-
volver, he returned to the house and
entered by one of the windows. His
wife evidently was alarmed by the
noise, and was shot and killed as she
was leaving the bed. The baby was
found dead on the lounge, the girl
on the floor of her bedroom. A Sec
ond boy was seriously wounded, and
has been brought to town, where it
is feared he may die.
Wallarttook to the woods after the
crime, and has not yet been located.

EARTHQUAKE IN ALASKA.

The steamer Clutch, which has ar

that an earthquake, on August 10,
shook Skagway for 70 seconds and
was even more severely felt in Daw-
son. All the way down the river the
shock was apparent, and at several
places was particularly well defined.
At Dawson two small government
buildings. in course of construction
were toppled over.
Arrivals from the Stewart river,
half way down the Yukon to Dawson,
saw the mountain there was split in
two. One stream was damned up,
partially, by fallen rock and il turned
into the newly formed canyon
through the mountain. Five miles OF
this stream and two miles of the sec
ond tributary of the Stewart were
left dry.
