were telegrsphed June 1, 1899. His re-
port was as follows:
Since the trouble in Idaho originated
in hostile organizations known as labor
unions. 1 would suggest a law to be
enacted by congress making such
unions or Kindred societies a crime.
Surely history furnishes an argument
sufficiently in favor of such a course -
After the closing Of the session Chair
man Hull of the committee advanced
towards Mr.. Lentz, who, during the
morning. had brought out the testi-
mony to show that General Merriam
had advised the president to regard
members Of labor unions as criminals
and said:
How much further are you going
to extend this investigation"
Mr.. Lentz drew himself up, pointed
his finger at Mr.. Hull and replied: I'm
til all the outrageous facts, sir: have
been brought out, and tell you that if
the charges are sustained this investi-
cation win be prolonged until we reach
the Impeachment of the president of the
United States, William Mckinley"

By Associated Press

Washington, March 14.-Feeling ran
high at the Occur dAlene investiga-
ton before the house committee on
military affairs today. and there were
several spirited exchanges between
Chairman Hull and Representative
Lentz.
George Cornell was on the stand re-
lating his experience during imprisOn-
ment, which differed only in detail
from those of other witnesses. One of
his recitals was as 10 an old soldier,
who. because Of brutality of the negro
soldiers toward him. took his Grand
Army button from his coat and with
tears In his eyes threw it away. Cor
nell said he made a memorandum of
the affair. but the book was taken from
him. and he saw it afterward in the
possession Of Bartlett Sinclair, the
governors representative during the
troubles
Mt Sinclair. who was present, arose
md declared there was no such sol
dior as had been described. Mr. Lentz
protested against statements not under
oath. He also gave notice that he
would call on MI. Sinclair TO produce
an his books 10 locate this alleged sol
dieT entry.
Chairman Hull here interpOsed to re-
mind Mr.. LentZ that he was not the
entire committee and was not in
position individually to order the pro-
duCtiOn of books. This was the pro-
vince Of the committee. and without
such action Mr.. LentZs notice amount
ed to- nothing.
Information Called For.
Mr.. Lentz stated that this was tba
usual notice that books referred to in
testimony would be called for. He
asked that the committee make the re-
quest and without objection this was
done. Mr. Lentz also moved that the
committee call for all rolls, records.

in The bull pen,' the charges against

The report shows that the president
was informed of the fact that Smith
was an avowed polygamist before his
confirmation. said c ngre ssman Swan
son, who heads the Democratic minor
ity of the committee.
1T also shows that there were no in

Of the postoffice department under
which charges of polygamy and unlaw-

serious enough TO be even noted by the

May Be Heavy Fighting.
1t is not doubted that there may be
neaYy hghtlnS, but the genius of Lord
Roberts Is looked TO for victory over
all difficulties. His grim reference to
the late" President Steyn is under
stood to show that there shall be no
ambiguity as TO the position assumed
toward the republics.
The fact that 1fr. Frazer. late chair
man Of the Free State Rad and leader
OF the opposition 90 Mr.. Steyn. came
with the deputatiCn 70 surrender the
keys, is regarded as extremely signifi-
cant OF considerable difference of ODin-
ion among the Free Staters regarding
the war.
1t is said that President Kruger hates
Mr.. Frazer on account of his sympathy
with the OutlanderS- The dsmOnstra-
tons Of the BlOenfOntein inhabitants
are also regarded as a good augury for
the future Of the British supremacy.
1t Is interesting, in connection with
the rapid advance Of Lord Roberts. 10
learn that the Russian military at
tache with the Beers who were cap
tured by the British. sent the following
telegram to the car:
Russian is Amazed.
Il am perfectly amazed at the en-
ergy in action and the endurance OF
the British infantry 1 need say no
more
There is still no news as to whether
Lord Roberts has captured any rolling
stock. If he has not yet, then he viii
be obliged 10 wait until the repairing
Of the bridges over the Orange river
enables him TO bring rolling stock up.
The British continue pressing their
advance on the Orange river. The
Beers still hold BeIhulie bridge. on the
north side of the stream, but their
trenches are dominated by the British
artillery Heavy firing is in progress
and there has been some skirmishing.
Lord Kitchener seems TO be very sue
cessful in reducing the extent Of the
Dutch rising.
A dispatch to the Daily Nail from
Bloemfontein, dated Tuesday evening
at O'Clock, says:
Surprised the Beers.
I'VE surprised and outfanked the
enemy with irresistible force over
night. General French held the enemy
north and south Of BlOemfontein, while
Lord Roberts despatched a prisoner. on
parole, threatening to lombard unless
the city surrendered. The tOWnsunen
became alarmed. President Steyn and
the chief members of the executive
council fed and proclaimed KrOonstadU
10 be the capital.
''Steyn fed TO Winburg. At last only
5000 fighting men remained. and in
the morning, many finding themselves
so weakened. broke their guns. Others
fed The remnant still Shelled Gen
erai French at dawn, but the oppOsi-
ton soon collapsed
Eight locomotives and much rolling
stock were captured. The BOer organ
ization is collapsing, and the breach
between the Free Staters and Trans
walters is widening.
Major General Prettyman has been
appointed military governor Of BlOem-

washington. March 14.--Most start

committee on military affairs which is
investigating the Idaho bull pen" out
RACES. This astounding revelation was
that General Merriam advised the pres
f5ent. in a report to Adjutant General
Corbin. 20 make the organization Of Ia
Dor unions a crime.
The statement Of this fact brought
the startled Republican members Of the
committee 90 their feet with vehement
pr5tpstau0ns that the president had not
approved the recommendation.
Another feature Of the meeting was a
character showing the infamous man
ner i'm which the prisoners were treated
during the continuance of martial law
Of the penitentiary. But the Merriam
idea of freedom was the feature of the
