Judge Evans, in the United States
court here, overruled the demurrer of
the defendants which brought into
question the jurisdiction of the fed

class of voters the free exercise of
their right of franchise; that con-
gress had the power to pass such

court to see that the provisions of the
statutes We're enforced.
He held that if congress had no,
power to protect the colored people
against intimidation, etc, then they
were left at the mercy of the COM
bination of politicians and brute
force, and that the fact that the cleo

the state were voted for did not in
any wise take away the jurisdiction of
the United State court to protect the
cOlored voters under the constitu-
tional amendments and sections re-
ferred to.

treating Before Frsnch's Troop-NOth-
ing Learned Monday Of the Progress OF
Gen. Roberts Column.

London, Feb. 2O.-The war Office has
received the following dispatch from
Gen. Butler:
''Chieveley, Camp, Feb. 90 yester-
lay moved around the enemy's flank
The queens, who had bivouacked on
The northern slope of Cingolo, crossed
The mex. and supported by the rest of
The second brigade under Hilyard as
saulted and took the southern end of
Monte Christie.
Assaulted by heavy artillery fire on
their front flank and attacked on
their flank and rear, the enemy made
out slight resistance and, abandoning
their strong position, were driven
across the Tugela. / have taken sew
eral camps, a wagonload of ammuni-
ton, several wagons of stores and sup
plies and few prisoners. The
weather has been intensely hot and
the ground traversed was exceedingly
difficult. But the energy and dash of
the troops have been very pleasant to
see. They have all done splendid"
Practically nothing is known of the
progress of Lord Roberts'column dur
ing the last day or two, and specula-
ton as to the ultimate gain from the
recent movements is necessarily I'M
satisfactory when based on belated
kilograms evidently vigorously cen
sored. Many important points re-
main obscure. What has become of
Sen. Cronje's heavy artillery? One
correspondent, it is true, says it was
left behind at Magersfontein and Kim
berley, but it is difficult to believe
D01>
toned a detail of such Importance.
Again the statement that large BOer
force was massing northward of KIM
berley once more raises in the minds
Of some experts the question whether
Gen. Cronjc is really with the force
retreating on Bloemfontein. 1t is
suggested that the latter is really the
Free State main army, under Gen.
Prinsloo, supplemented by portion
of the Magersfontein command, while
the main body of the latter under
Gen. Cronje is trying to secure the
Vaal bridge, at Fourteen streams,
thus barring the way to Mafeking.
1t is difficult to measure the full
Importance of Gen. Buffers move
ments If he manages to seize Hang
wa hill the way may be cleared for
another crossing of the Tugela and
another attempt to reach Ladysmith,
eia the direct road north.
In Cape Colony, Gen. Brahant seems
to be successfully clearing the road
for the advance of Gen. Gatacre.

WITH HER TWO CHILDREN.
Mrs Emma Take, an Insane Woman, Sought
Death by jumping into the Missis-
sippi River ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Feb. 2O-Mrs. Emma
Take, young matron living at 713
Dorcas street, tried to drown herself
and her two little children, Edna,
aged three, and Gus, aged seven years,
by jumping with them into the Mis-
sissippi river. Woman and children
We're rescued with much difficulty just
as they were about to float under the
running ice in midstream by Aloysius
Kock and John Menard, fishermen,
who live at the foot of Dorcas street.
The insane and desperate deed of the
woman and the thrilling and heroic
rescue make story such as seldom
comes to public attention. Inyesti-
cation after the rescue and mother
and children had been taken to the
hospital seems to indicate that the
woman was insane when she tried to
destroy herself and children. She was
recently released from the city insane
asylum.

TO TAKE POWER FROM PRIESTS
One of tho First Acts of the. New Philip
pine Commission VIII BE to Provide
New Registration Law.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-One of the
first things to be done by the new
Philippine commission will be to pro-
vide a new registration law in the
Philippines. This act will be another
long step towards divesting the clergy
of its tremendous power, and it will
relieve the people of oppressive
charges. AT present all births, deaths
and marriages are registered by the
parish priests, and a fee of 81 for
each certificate is charged When the
Philippine commission was in the
archipelago it was requested to pro-
cure the enactment of a law of this
kind. This will give justices of the
peace and clerks of courts authority
to perform duties of this kind now
done by the priests. No expense Will
be incurred by the government in
granting this wish of he Filipinos, as
enough fees will be collected to cover
all outlay.

Brant, a detective of Sioux City, Ia,
has commenced suit for 1904 against
the estate of John Collins on the
ground that the deceased hired him
to watch Mrs. Collins lest she fall in
love with a younger man. Brant says
he performed his duty faithfully for
1,20S hours at an agreed price of so
cents an hour, and adds that he is
confident it was his vigilance which
prevented anyone from alternating the
wife's affections. 1t Will be remem-
bered that John Collins was murdered
in this city two years ago and his
son. John HeEry Collins, is serving

ENGLAND AND THE CANAL.
The Hepburn Contention That the Clayton
BuIwer Treaty Was Nullified Il Not Ia
ken Seriously by British Diplomats.

London, Feb. 20.-The Hepburn Mic
aragua canal report, maintaining that
Great Britain nullified the Clayton
Bulwer treaty by securing control of
the Suez route to the far west, is not
taken seriously here. The views of
the British government on the sub
iect were expressed by a high official
who said:
Officially, of course, it is not nee
essary to consider any such argument,
as Washington has already recognized
that the treaty has not been abro-
gated by the fact that they have re-
quested a modification of it. Apart
from this, Mr.. Hepburn's argument is
illogical and far-fetched. The cabinet
would have stoutly denied that the
Clayton-Buiwer treaty was either alb
rogated or lapsed, had any such con-
tention been raised But 1T was not,
and of course, we can not. now recog-
nize any such argument

Traqsva al Representative Said to he Fig.
uring German ProtectOrate
for the Beer Republic.

Washington, Feb. 2o.-It is said in
diplomatic circles that DR.. Ledys had
for his sole purpose in going to Ger
many the establishment of German
protectorate over the Boer republic.
1t is claimed that the German
emperor has been approached and
asked to form protectorate over the
Boer republic. The Beers, it is said,
realize their defeat at the hands of
England will be the ultimate result
of the present war. They wish as far
as possible to maintain their indie
pendence, and for this purpose will
voluntarily come under the protec-
ton of the German empire. 1t is
stated that President Kruger prefers
a German emperor rather than an
English ruler. The overture made to
the German emperor was done in the
first place to try and create a rupture
between England and Germany. This,
however, was avoided, it is under
stood that Emperor William declined
to consider the proposition. at least

Davidson, supposed to be from Gins
gov, KY, committed suicide at the
Hotel Huston in this city The land
lord discovered the body in Davidson's
room. Davidson evidently was very
deliberate in his act. He placed a
chair near his bed and pillow upon
it. He then took the washbowl and
placed it between the bed and the
chair. Then he lay on the bed, wrap
ping the handle of his razor with his
handkerchief and cut his throat from
ear to ear, the blood dripping into the
bowl. Not a drop was found on the
floor or upon the bedclothes or chair.

Action by the National Cow ention.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 20.-A few addf-
tional members of the populist ma
tional committee arrived Monday but
the representation for this after
moons meeting fell far short of the
early estimates. A conference began
in Chairman Buffers room at the
hotel shortly before noon in an effort
to harmonic the two factions, but it
is likely nothing will be agreed upon
until the formal session of the full
committee. The southern delegates,
particularly those from Texas, will be
satisfied with nothing less than in
dependent action. In this, their
strongest supporters are from Ken
lucky and Ohio. The forecast of the
action of the committee is, however,
that Chairman Butler will be en-
powered to call the national conven-
ton for the same time and place as

Charles E. Macrum, fcsmer United
