FOUND GAS TURNED ON FULL.
Young Man While Asleep Had Close
Call.

A young man who boards at one of
the hotels had rather narrow escape
from asphyxiation yesterday morning.
Upon retiring at late hour he failed
to turn off the gas entirely, and was
soon sleeping heavily. An hour later
his roommate entered and was nearly
Frustrated by the nauseovs gas, which
filed the room completely. Throwing
open the door and windows he set
about arouslng his friend, whose deep
and heavy breathing alarmed him no
little. But for the timely entry of the
late arrival tragedy might have been
written here, but fortunately the sleep

SIX COMPANIES FOR COLUMBUS
Special Military Train Carried the
Soldier Boys.

To the pattering of rain drops the
Americas Light Infantry, twenty-four
strong, marched through the muddy
streets yesterday morning to the Cen
trail depot, en- route to Columbus with
the Fourth Regiment to take part in
the fair festivities there.
But for the beastly weather the COM
pany would have gone with full ranks,
as forty men expected to take the trip.
The tram arrived q half hour late
and brought five companies. Each
had special car, and the Light In
fantrY and their friends were we'll pro
vided,for. Mr.. J. FL. Plount, travelling
passenger agent, went in charge of
the special.
The soldier boys doubtless had a
good time in Columbus, despite the
weather. The special train is sched-
uled to reach Americas at 3 o'clock
this morning.

Reiterates His Intention Not to Accept q
Vice Presidential Nomination.
WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Governor
Roosevelt was with the president about
half an hour during the morning. He
arrived at the White House shortly be-
fore II o'clock and was at once shown
into the cabinet room. On leaving the
White House the governor said that he
had nothing to communicate and cour-
teously declined to be interviewed.
Later on, however, a close friend Of
the governor and also Of the president,
stated that the president and members
Of the administration generally are in
full harmony with the governors pur-
pose not to allow his name to be used
in connection with the Republican vice
presidential nomination. They were
convinced that he could. do the party
greater service in the campaign as a
candidate for reelection as governor
Of New York than as a candidate for the
vice presidency. It can be stated posi-.
lively that he. will not permit his name
to be placed on the national ticket.

STERNER POLICY.

Lord Roberts Trying to Prevent Guerrilla
Fighting in British Rear.
CAPE Town, May 1O.-The Boer losses
at Brandfort are now reported to have
been much heavier than was at first
understood. After the battle British
patrols visited the farm houses in the
surrounding district, all the members
were taken prisoner while the horses
and guns were removed. Lord Roberts
is thus adopting sterner policy with a
view of preventing guerrilla fighting in
the rear Of the British. Horses are now
commandered and farm houses where
guns are found are destroyed, while the
men are arrested.

British Admiralty Has Heard Nothing Of

LONDON, May 10.-While the ad-
miralty has not yet received an official
report in regard to the boarding Of the
American ship Sea Witch by a boats
crew from the British warship Wasp,
while in Portuguese waters in Delagoa
bay, other government dispatches from
Lourenzo Marques incidentally mention
that the Sea Witch was in trouble,
which, coupled with the fact that she
signalled for tug, leads the British
officials to believe that the cause Of the
mistake in boarding her chiefly lies
with the Sea Witch.

the Canadians, with a part of General

About 5000 horsemen were probably
engaged in this advance. General Hut

General French's force, had q sharp
fight. This was on Monday when he
reached the river and saw the Boer
conveys OH the other side and pressed
forward intending to cross and capture
them. The Beers, however, opened fire
with from eight to ten guns, forded the
river above and below, seemingly in
thousands and sought to envelope the
British. General Hutton fell back sew.

other British cavalry reinforced Hutton.
During the night the Beers retreated,
not further contesting the crossing.
The Boer attack on General Hutton

among them. Nevertheless the British
advance rolls on steady. General Broad
