A NEW COMMITTEE.
Washington Correspondent In
Inmates There Will Be
Some Changes.

Toledo, May 30.-The Blade prints the
following from It's Washington cores
pondent: After the Philadelphia con-
vention the Ohio Republican organiza-
tion will be made. 1t is no secret that
the administration is a bit worried
about the selection of a chairman in
Ohio this year. 1t Is not a scarcity Of
talent but superabundance that
causes the perplexity. If Dan Ryan is
not chosen keep your eye on Senator
w. G. Harding, Of Marion, or Alexander
Kiskadden, of Tifin. Myron A. Norris,
of Youngstown, chairman Of the state
central committee last year has also
been mentioned. There will probably
be a great change in the makeup of the
executive committee. Last years or
ganization was as follows: Charles
Dick, chairman; John r. Malloy, secre-
tary; w. F. Burdell, treasurer; men,
bers, A. d. Alderman, of Marietta; ].
j. Gill, Steubenville; Harry Griffith,
Mt. Gilead; John Huston, Jr., Millers-
burg; A. r. Johnson, Ironton; N. e.
Matthews, Ottawa; w. r. Stewart,
Youngstown; Noah H. Swayne, Tole-
do; Charles p. Taft, Cincinnati; julius
Whiting, Canton, and ]. B. Zerbe,
Cleveland. 1t is safe to say that Taft,
Zerbe and Huston are the only. ones
likely to go on the new committee.

HUDNUT FOUND GUILTY,
Justice Reigner Thinks The
Proof Showed He Did Not
Support His Child.

The case Of Ida A. Hudnut against her
husband for the non-support Of their
child was finished in Justice Reigner's s
court at 10 o'clock Tuesday night after
two days trial. At 10 o'clock Wednes-
day morning the parties with their
attorneys came in to hear the decision
Of the justice. After reviewing the
matter thoroughly the squire decided
that the defendant was guilty as charg-
ed Of abandoning and neglecting to
support his child.
Attorney Rice for the defense filed a
motion for a new trial at once and
it was overruled. He then asked for an
arrest Of judgment and suspension of
sentence till he could prepare to take
the case up. The question came up as
to whether the justice had any right un-
der the law to arrest Judgment and the
lawyers went out to spend an hour
looking up the case.

Washington, May 30.-It is said that
the message received by the state de-
partment from Minister Conger at
Pekin contains information to the eff
feet that the Boxers have murdered
nine Methodist converts at Pachow
and burned several railroad stations
near Pekin. Minister WI, the repre-
sentative of China, is greatly perturb-
ed by the press dispatches. He says
his government will not look with
favor upon the landing of foreign
marines on Chinese soil

not?" he said. Don't they hang in
nocent people here sometimes, but out
side powers do not intervene here on
that account, do they?"
He was asked whether China would
resist forceful demonstrations. He
shrugged his shoulders in reply.
MARINES LANDED.
Pekin, May 30.-Detachments of
French, Russian and japanese marines
were landed at Taku and one hundred
British marines are following suit. The
relief party which went to Chang Hsin
Tien has returned bringing twenty five
persons, including some women and
children who were in danger Of capture
by the Boxers. The Boxers apparently
have no arms, except those captured
from the soldiers.

London, May 30.-London Is restlessly
awaiting Lord Roberts announcement
that johannesburg has been occupied.
Roberts, by the rapidity Of his march
has outstripped the expectations Of even
the most optimistic Englishman. 1t is
believed now that June 1 will see the
British in Pretoria. The advance from
Bloemfontein has been little more than
q parade. The 240 miles have been COW
cred in thirty days, including all halts.
From Boer sources continue to be
heard only stories Of confusion and col
lapse. Nothing more has been received
concerning the British forces from
Mafeking which had been marched east
to Lichtenburg. 1t would be gratifying
to know that Baden-Powell was leading
this force in person, and to hear that he
had captured Pretoria.

And search for the tombs of the brave

AS Forward. march," rang down the

These bodies which were the earthly
homes
OF brave souls which have passed
away,
Are not remembered by costly stones
But what they did while twas day.
They left their homes to make free and
save
This country with its lib'ral hand
And what they did sent a mighty wave
or influence to ev'ry land.
Then to the front with the greatest flag
Ever unfurled in wind or gale,
Which our soldiers did in triumph drag
Through water, plain and mountain
vale.
Unfold It over the verdant mounds
Where soldiers until Judgment sleep:
Which by civil law are sacred grounds,
Over which even flowers weep.
Always remember the soldiers tomb
In 1t tabernacles, a son
Who faced grim death without fear Of
doom,
BY pestilence or strangers gun.
When we forget what the soldier did.
Our land will then have met its doom
Their deeds should not from men be hid.
But heralded forth by voice and run.

London, May 29-Everybody now is
predicting as to the date Gen. Roberts
will enter Pretoria. Some put 1t as
early as the coming Saturday, none
later than four weeks. June 20 is the
favored date. as this is Accession Day,
and Roberts has new weakness for
making big dates coincide with public
dates.
The last dash forward, which, last
night, brought the British army within
a days march of Johannesburg,
furnishes fresh evidence Of the nom
resistance Of the Beers. With the ex-
ception Of some fighting on French's
front on the left, not shot was fired,
apparently, in the advance. This
running retreat, withouteve rear guard
actions looks very much like demorali-
cation.
Dispatches from Pretoria are conflict
ing. Some say the Beers are preparing
tt flee at the first sight Of Roberts.
Others report everybody working over
time on the capital defenses. The
British concentrating at Mafeking are
active. They have occupied Zeerust,
northeast of Mafeking and are also
reported to be marching on Lichten-
burg on the road to johannesburg. An
attack on Pretoria from the direction of
Mafeking is probably not regarded as
impossible by the Transvaalers, and
this may account for their rapid re-
treat toward their capital.
The time is now short for the Beers
to put into execution their threats to
destroy the johannesburg mines. In
some quarters uneasiness Is felt for the
safety of the British in entering the
town, there having been several reports
recently that the Beers were preparing
to blow UP the mines and the British
army at the same time.
AS Roberts will soon control the rail-
road running to Laing's Mex, Butler
should soon be released from Natal to
cooperate in the subjugation Of the
Transvaal.
