REVERSE FOR BRITISH
Beers overpower Fourth Der"
byshire Battalion.
LOSS IS OVER SIX HUNDRED MEN,
Lieutenant Colonel and Several Other
Onacers Killed In E6scting the Capture.
Telegram of Omcial Nature Announces
Defeat of British at Donkerspoort.

LONDON. June 12.-Fifty thousand
British troops are within 80 miles Of
the marauding Beers north OF Kroon.
stadt, and they are expected of course
to make short work of them. Never
theless outside of the war office tele-
grams no one knows what is going on.
South of Kroonstadt there is a wide
gap. The railway is only partially de-
Tended, and as General Kelly Kenny
has hurried all the available troope
northward, the assumption is that there
is danger of a second raid. The loss of
the Derbyshires is estimated at from
600 to 700 men.
A Reuter- dispatch from Mazeru, dated
June II, says: s'Fifteen hundred Beers
surrendered to General Brabant in the
Ficksburg district"
Machadorp has been officially pro.
claimed capital of the Transvaal. A
Lourenzo Marquee dispatch says that
the village has swollen into small city,
the majority of the inhabitants living
in tents.
An official Boer telegram asserts that
the British have been defeated with
considerable loss at Donkerspoort, in
the southern extremity of the Free
State, or Orange River Colony, 10 miles
from Norval's Pont. 1t was thought
that this district had been cleared of
Beers and rebels long ago. The Beers
still cling to Laing's mex, but General
Buller's forces are still working far
around in that direction
Lord Roberts has wired Cape Town
that prior to Wednesday he liberated
151 officers and $3.50 of the rank and
file. The Beers consequently took off
only 900.
Mr.. Schreiner, the Cape premier, had
eight supporters out of 40 at a caucus
called to order the ministerial program.
j. K. Merriman, treasurer, and j. w.
Sauer, commissioner of public works,
have resigned from the cabinet and Mr..
Schreiner's s own resignation is believed
to be imminent
i Food is still scarce at Mafeking, hut
the railway is nearly repaired Sew
enty-two rebels have been arrested in
the Vryburg and Mafeking district.
Sixty men were marched into Mafeking
by two of their late prisoners at Mostia
All of General Herring's forces had
landed at Beira week ago The or.
ganization to invade the Transvaal from
the north is already far advanced. The
Boer deserters who arrived at Maseru
yesterday assert that 1000 Beers par
ticipated in the Rooekrantz engage
ment, that General Olivier was killed
and General DeVilliers was mortally
wounded.
The Daily Mail has the following dis
patch from Accra, dated June 10: "There
is no fresh news from Kumassie, but
persistent rumors are in circulation that
Sir Frederick Hodgson is q prisoner. /"

Speaking of the Inter. State Re
union Association meeting held in
Baxter Tuesday the Galena Repub.
lican throws the following boquets:
The reelection of the old board IL
evidence conclusive of the fact that
their services were appreciated BY
the stockholders aud the organiza
ton of the board was but the carry.
ing out of their wishes as expressed
by their vote. Pres. John N. Cooper
although modest and unassuming
lie whole regiment when he gets on
his fighting clothes, and he had
them on during last reunion aud he
will have them on during the CON
ing reunion. He gives 10 the man
agement ofreunion affairs the sam,
careful, conservative, business tho
ught, that he exercises in the con.
duct of his personal affairs, and to
this fact was due the success oil
last year. "a will be shown In the
report. The stockholders will ga,
amen" TO the action of the board
in selecting J. NJ. Cooper as presi'
dent. The choice Of c. W. Daniels
as secretary, is in direct line with
what we have been saying OF Mr.
Cooper. The intelligent, business.
like. systematic conduct of the Sec.
retary's office last year, was observ'
ed by all aud when the stockhold.
ers unanimously selected him as a
member Of the board of directors
for the next year, they did so with
the full conviction that the board
would make him Secretary again
They did no yesterday, and they
did we'll. That the reelection OF
Ira Perkins az Treasurer, was a
wise move 10 evidenced by the fact
that the board had hard work try
ing to convince him that he had
more money in the treasury than
belonged to them. He ives so anx
ious to convince them that he was
absolutely honest and could beat
any man on earth taking care OF
money that he tried TO ring ia an
extra seven dollar bill on them,
They wouldn't take his money. but
reelected him for his honesty, or
something. The outlook for big
reunion 10 brighter then ever be.
fore in the history of these great
events. Many important changes
WIN be made, all of which will add
to.the comfort and pleasure of the
thousands who gather there every
year. Shoot the chutes, steamboat
incline railway, etc. are among the
features which will probably be ad.
ded+ this summer. The ground will
be permanently plated and in fact
many things will be done to i'm.
prove the grounds, and make the
Nineteenth Annual Reunion the
greatest of all"

In FAVOR OF DEMOCRATS
kentucky Courtof Appeals Decides
Governorship Contest.

Frankfort, April 6.By Associated
Press 1.-The court of appeals today
handed down a decision in the govern
or shin case, in favor of the democrats.
The opinion is by six judges, four OF
whom are democrats and two republi-
cans. One republican, Durelle, dissent
ed.
The opinion holds that the action of
the legislature in seating Beekhaln is
final and the courts have no power to
review it; that Governor Taylor eN-
ceeded his authority in adjourning the
legislature to London, and that the
journals of the two houses of the leg
stature, being regular, cannot be i'm
peached. The Republicans will now
try TO get a hearing before the United
States supreme court. Thirty days
must elapse before the mandate of
the court of appeals. in accordance
with today's decision, is issued.
