GEN. FRENCH GETTING ACTIVE
Dispatch Says Submission of

With Caution.
THINKS BRITISH TOO LENIENT

Bloemfontein. March 22-General
French, with a brigade of cavalry and
mounted infantry, arrived at Thaban-
chu and opened photographic commun-
ication with Masern. He reports all
well.
London, March 23-Colonel Plumer
has apparently retired to Crocodile
Pools and Mafeking seems further off
than ever from relief. This news was
contained in a dispatch from Bulu--
wayo. dated March 18th. The base of
the hospital has been brought back
to Gaberones, though the correspond
ent further says that it is thought the
object of the Boer demonstration of
March 18th and March 10th was to
cover the removal of the siege guns
from Mafeking. General Frenchs ac-
tivity in the Orange Free State may
be preliminary to forward movement
by the army.
A dispatch from Bloemfontein dat
ed March 22d. says that President
Kruger is reported to have issued
proclamation declaring Great Britain

A springfontein telegram published
in the "Times" says:
"The apparent submissive attitude
of the Free Staters should be accepted
with caution. A large proportion of.
obsolete and inferior weapons are be-
ing turned in by them to the British,
giving the impression that large stores

FRANCO-AMERICAN PROTOCOL

Frankfort, KY, March 2S-Seventy-
five extra police officers and deputy
sheriffs guarded the outer entrance of
the court house today while file of
soldiers stood at the doors and passed
on the credentials of persons entering
the room. The cause of this display
of force was the opening of the pre-
liminary hearing of the Goebel sus--
poets. The general public was ex-.
cluded by order of Judge Moore. The
prisoners, republican secretary of state
Caleb Powers w. H. Culton and John
Davis, were brought into the court
room. Commonwealth witnesses were
called numbering forty. The name
of Sergeant Golden was not in the
list. Ex-Governor Brown read the
warrant against Powers, which charg-
ed him with being accessory to the
murder of William Goebel Brown
asked the dismissal of the defendant
on the ground that the warrant was
defective in not stating that the crime
was committed in Franklin county.
Judge, Moore over-ruled the objection.
Eph Lillard, warden of the Frank
fort penitentiary, was the first witness
He was with Senator Goebel when
shot. He looked toward the executive
building, and saw the second window
of the corner room slightly raised.
This was the office of the secretary Of
state He thought the shot had been
fred from this room. There were
several other shots but they did not
come from the same place. The first
shot was evidently from rifle while
the others seemed to be from pistols.
Cross examined by Ex-Governor
Brown, Col Lillard said he saw no.
body in the room from which the
shots seemed to have been fired, nor
anyone in the main door or on the
steps of the building Policemen Win
He arrived as the crowd was carrying
Goebel out of the yard He saw arm
ed men at the entrance of the execut-
i've building, and recognized John
Davis and Berry Howard among them.
Detective Dee Armstrong, of Louis
Vile, said that the military authori--
ties had allowed detectives to enter
the executive building several days
after the shooting and that he visited
various state officers for the purpose of
securing the names of persons in the
building at the time of the shooting
Secretary Powers refused to tell him
who were in the office of the secretary
of state at the time of the shooting
and declined to say who was in charge,
but said he was out of the city.
This afternoon Judge Moore ruled
that the commonwealth must furnish
the defense the names of the witness
es yet to be heard, whether subponaed
or not. County Attorney Polsgrove
then gave the names of F. Wharton
Golden as probable witness.

STILL CONSIDERING THAT BILL.
Now Proposed to Separate Tariff Fea-
ture from Puerto RIcan Bill.

Washington, March 23-The repub-
lican caucus committee in the senate
today authorized Senator Foraker to
propose a separation Of the tariff fea-
ture from the Puerto Rican govern
nt4btal bill, and attempt to pass the
house tariff bill without amendment.
The program is to vote down all
amendments, if possible, and pass the
bill as 1t came from the house without
any changes whatever The element
in the republican ranks of the senate
favoring free trade with Puerto Rico,
decided in conference today, to op-
pose any action looking to an early
vote and to ask for further time in
case the question should come up.
Washington, March 23-The senate
committee on interstate commerce
today granted hearing to Judge s.
H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Texas, gen.
eral attorney of the Cattle Raisers' as
sociation of Texas, and T. W. Tomlin-
son. railroad representative of the Chi
cago live stock exchange, in support
of the pending bill for an amendment
to the Interstate law They contend
ed that the proposed changes would be
of great practical value in the correc-
tion of determinations and preventing
undue preferences on the part of rail-
roads.
Judge Cowan also advocated pass
age of the bill extending to forty hours
the time in which cattle in transit may
be confined.
The senate agreed to the conference
asked for by the house on the diplo-
matte and consular bill. Pettigrew's;
resolution. requesting that the presi-
dent, If not incompatible with public
interest, send to the senate itemized a
statement Of the expenses of the Phil
ippine commission, together with the
amounts paid the commissioner, was
agreed to.

Allison. Tillman, who voted for the
bill as it passed the senate and as a
member of the committee on appropri-
ations voted favorabiy to report It,
vigorously opposed the conference re-
port. He expressed regret that the
senate conferees yielded to the con-
tention of the house conferees, particu-
larly in agreeing to enlarge the pur--
pose of the measure by providing for
aid and relief of the people of Puerto
Rico.
The debate on the Puerto Rican ap-
preparation bill was participated in by
Senators Spooner, Gallinger. Tillman.
They took wide range, covering the
southern race question, Hawaii and
the Philippines. Spooner took TILL
man to task for the use of the express
sions which made the colloQuy quite
interesting.

further privileges The power OF the
labor unions OF the United States is
far greater than can be mustered by
tlawaii's private interests. United
States legislators would be untrue to
their constituents and American prin-
ciple, II further concessions were made
to the peculiar labor conditions of this
territory.
Hawaii should be gratiiled that the
territorial bill as 1t now stands Is so
thoroughly Americanized. Having re.
fused to discriminate in our favor as
regards labor, 1t will be practically i'm
possible for the sugar interests that
seek discrimination against our pro-
ducts to be successful.

That Thos. A. Edison used to walk up
and down every night in front Of the first
house he lighted with electricity until the
lights were extinguished, for fear that the
house would burn down; and we are sure
that any Insurance man present, If his
house were wired and lighted in the same
way as that first building would be a
e cd deal more scared than was Edison.
In the short space Of time that has passed
since then so many improvements have
been introduced that now house lighted
by electricity is better fire risk than with
any other artificial light.

NO CONTRACT LABOR.

Apropos of the destruction of the
contract labor system by the United
States Senate, the Advertisers remarks
would indicate that Hawaii Is not only
not ready for an American form of
government but will not be for some
years to come. The people of Hawaii
and United States Senators are unable
to understand how the proprietor
of the Advertiser establishes
a consistent connecting link between
the utterances of his ante-annexation
pamphlet and post annexation editor
tails. The Advertiser editorial remarks
are a direct refutation of statements
of the pamphlet.
The Bulletin and the business COM
munity at large do not share the fears
expressed by the government organ re-
sulting from the absolute wiping out
Of the contract labor system. With
the great majority this act of Congress
was anticipated as foregone conclu-
sion. They asked for an American ter
ritorial government, and every man of
average American integrity and sense
knows that the people of the United
States will not countenance any form
OF contract labor In any territory
whose citizens receive the full rights
and commercial privileges of the Unit
ed States government.
Many. II not all, recent agreements
made with Japanese immigration COM
panies provide that in case Of labor
ers deserving their places shall be fill
ed by the immigration companies
While under the territorial law it may
be impossible to force the companies
to fulfill their agreements. no serious
difficulties need be anticipated in con-
nection with Japanese laborers, who.
as has been shown recently, readily ac-
quiesce to the advice of their consul.
BY the time the territorial bill is
In force Hawaii will have had nearly
two years in which to prepare for
changed conditions. II this period has
not been improved except to make
larger importations Of contract Japan
ese. the people of Hawaii cannot rea-
sonably expect the Senators and Con-
gressmen Of the United States to grant
