MASONS TAKE IT UP.
WILL PROSECUTE SOME OF ToPE-
KA's CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 20.-The Masonic
order of Topeka, particularly the Knights
Templar, are planning to prosecute local
Christian Scientists, who, they say were
responsible for the death of Mrs. John
M. Terrence. Mr.. florence was, up to
the time of his death eight months ago,
chief clerk in the Atehison, Topeka &; San
ia Fe car service department here. He
was leading Mason. Ills wife died yes
terday from typhoid fever. She was a
Christian Scientist, and, with the local
healers, resisted the demands of her
friends that physician be summoned
Mrs. Whittock, Of Chicago, mother of
Mrs. Terrence, it is asserted, was refus-
ed permission to see her daughter, but
finally entered the sick room.
Mrs. L. e. Whitaker, the scientist in
charge said, testifying at the coroner's
inquest, that Mrs. Terrence was killed
by the shock of the surprise at seeing her
mother, and not by the lack Of medicine.
The coroner's jury rendered the follow
ing verdict:
Mrs ]. M. Terrence came to her death
by peritonitis (generaD, caused by per-
foration of the iTltestines, due to typhoid
fever. The case was under Christian Sci
enlist management, and had no medical
care or treatment. and, in our opinion
she did not have Intelligent care which
would give her any possible chance for re-
covery."

MUST BE INOCULATED
ALL CHINESE OR JAPANESE WHO
LEAVE SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-There are
no new developments in the plague situa-
ton. No new cases have been discovered,
and the situation remains practically un-
changed. This announcement was made
by the board of health tonight.
The incubation of Chinese and Japanese
is quietly going on. From unofficial
sources it is learned that nine japanese
and eleven Chinese were inocuIated with
haffkine yesterday, and twenty-six Jap
anese and fifty Chinese today. At all the
exits of the city doctors are stationed,
and unless a Chinese or Japanese can ex-
hibit certificate of inoculation he is not
permitted to pass the city limits. The
declaration of the board of health that
the plague exists in the Chinese quarters
of the city has produced no alarm outside
of the detention. The chief feature Of the
situation lies in the opposition of the Chi
nese and japanese to the incubation.
The situation of the board OF health ts
that the circumstances do not warrant the
quarantining of the Chinese. nor compel
ling them to submit to inoculation so
long as they remain in the city. Only
those trying to leave the city are required
to be inoculated
The Chinese and japanese as a whole
are opposed to incubation. They have
retained counsel to contest the matter In
the courts should the board resort to for
chile measures.
The Chinese consul general stated that
he would take no action until he is more
surely informed as to the plans of the
board of health, or until some develop
ment in the situation requires him TO take
action.
Business was suspended in the Chinese
quarter today, and knots of Chinese stood
on the streets discussing the situation,
and expressing their determination not to
submit to incubation. They say they
would rather die from the plague than
poison.

and another employe of the hotel off at
the point of a revolver, and escaped on
a horse he had tied to the curbing.

Just before the robbery occurred Kellar
had placed twelve pieces of diamond jew
elry, consisting of rings, pins and studs,
valued at 1920, about $3.50 in money and
checks in the box, preparatory to taking
it to the hotel safe. The confederate at

other end of encounter. and, after the
robber had performed his work, which
consumed about the fraction Of a min
ute, was quick in making off.
Clerk Gessler claims that the robbers
name is Fishback, and that he knows him
well.
The robber is described as being thirty
five years of age, about six feet in height

POLITICS IN HONOLULU
NATIVES WILL NOT AFFILIATE
WITH EITHER PARTY.

HONOLULU, May u, via San Fran
cisco, May 20.-If the directors have any
control over their political destinies the
natives of the islands will not for some
time to come express afilhation with
either of the great parties.
So much was decided by a number OF
them at a meeting held secretly. At this
meeting were men inclined TO be Repub-
licans, and some favorable TO the prin-
ciples of Democracy. A majority how
ever, favored some sort of HaW allan al.
lance, taking in such as were acceptable
TO their ideas. The Portuguese were
mentioned. The idea Of the natives is tc
form an independent party. 1t w2s re.
marked that out Of 1900 votes that could
be mustered, the natives would poll 9,oa0
Some Of these would be lost TO the Repub.
lican and Democratic parties, but with
white and Portuguese allies they would
have large majority.

DUNDEE, Thursday, May 1.-THE
British passed through Newcastle at
o'clock. A few residents were congre-
gated at street corners wearing the Natal
colors. After their walk of twenty-five

Beers have been found on the farms well
supplied with arms and ammunition.
Refugees from Johannesburg say the
Beers are admitting to themselves the
seriousness of the situation and are ask
ing each other what is to be done.
Women are asking to be supplied with
arms and ammunition and to go to the
commanders, saying the British will not
fire upon them.
Muller, former Russian army officer,
refused ESQ per month to succeed Capt.
Stiehl, the captured Boer commander.
A quantity of ammunition was found

PICTURE OF BoERs.

Commissioner Vessels speech was a
vivid picture of the Beers in their con-
test for their rights Of the charity and
devotion which characterized their man
ner, and of the patriotism with which
they all went in to fight their battles. He
felt sure that the audience would admit
that the Boer had many good charac-
tertstics and was not as black as he had
been painted. The English nation ap-
parently wished to act as judge and
jury. He asked the audience whether
the Boer nation had not the right to
claim the support and sympathy of the
United States and of the whole world.
I'VE are doing the fighting in the re-
publics."
Mr.. Wolmarans, who spoke in Dutch
said to the audience that while the en-
voys did expect to be sympathetfcally re-
ceived in this country, vet they did not
anticipate that they would receive such
a welcome as had been shown 10 them in
New York city ard the capital of the ma
ton. He knew, however, 1t could not be
different, because the people of this coun-
try have the same love of liberty and
sense of justice as the. Beers had and
their sympathy would be a help to them
in the struggle. -

WELLINGTON CHEERED.

The speech of Senator Wellington,
which came next, bristled with patriotic
utterances and was cheered to the echo
by the audience. The senator said that
"as Americans we always had held all
men entitled alike to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" If this was true
in America, he asked, why not in South
Africa. Some one in the audience asked:
why not the Philippines also?' to
which the senator added his assent. He
wished God-speed to the ENJOYS in their
mission and success to their cause. He
went on to say that England had been
our enemy at Bunker Hill, Yorktown,
New Orleans, and in the Civil war when
she made an alliance with the enemy
England was no more our friend today
than she was 100 years ago.

RoURKE COCHRAN TOO.

Mrs. Edith W. Lamb here recited THE
Spirit of 76' and presented an American
flag to Mrs. Fischer, the wife of one of
the ENJOYS, following which Hon. Bourke
Cochran, Of New York, delivered an ad-
dress. Mr.. Cochran spoke for over half
an hour. His address was a scholarly af-
fort, touching upon the Monroe doctrine,
the character Of the Beers and a review
of the features of the English affairs. He
strongly advocated upholding the Mon
roe doctrine, recalling Secretary Roots
recent words that we must be prepared to
fight for it, ard adding that the latter
must be gratif1ed at the hearty response
which had been made throughout the
country. Referring to Canada and Ats
proximity to the United States, he said he
believed as an English possession it was
a menace to the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine. AS a possible result OF this
war he suggested that instead of the ex-
tension OF monarchial governments IN
South Africa the consequence might be
the, extension of republican authority
ever morarctial governments. Some
humorous reference was made to the re-
cent action of the senate III closing the
doors while discussing the resolution 0f
sympathy for the Boer republic, which
led Mr.. Cochran to express the belief that
if the day had come when the Americans
were fearful to express their views then
the nations growth had not been IN the
way of true greatness, but Of weakness.
Senator Wellington was instructed by
unanimous vote Of the audience to pre-
sent IN the senate Senator Tcller's reso-
luton of sympathy with the Beers.
Senator Mason delivered the closing
speech.
