Men Gives Up.
Submit Internationally to Gen.

AN ALL DAY FIGHT
Between Mac Donald and a Fed
eral Rear Guard.
Naauwport Mex Blocked to the
BOer Wagons.

Cape Town, July 30-Genera1 Prinsloo,
with 5000 men, has surrendered uncon-
ditionally to the British.
London, July 3O.-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord Rob
erts:
Pretoria, July 29.-n July 26 Mac
Donald fought a rear guard action with
the enemy from early morning until
dark. nine miles outside of Naauwpoort,
in the Bethlehem hills, resulting in his
effectualIy blocking Naauwpoort Mex
to the Boer wagons.
Hunter reports that the enemy twice
checked his advance by holding strong
positions on two neks, one of which was
taken before dark by the scots, the
Royal Irish. the Wiltshire and the
Leinster regiments. Our casualties
were only five or six. The second mex
was taken during the fight by the Scots
and Girards without opposition, the en-
envy retiring closely to Naauwpoort.
Prisoners taken stated that twelve
hundred burghers would surrender if
guaranteed that they would be treated
as prisoners of war and not as rebels.
To this 1 had assented. AS a result of
these operations PrinSloO, commanding
the Beers asked, under a flag of truce
this morning, four days armiStlce for
peace negotiations
Hunter replied the only terms he
could accept were unconditional surren-
der, and, until these were complied with,
hostilities could not cease 1 expressed
my approval and told Hunter on no ac-
count to enter into negotiations
las / am writing a telegram has come
from Hunter saying that Prinsloo had
written a second letter expressing will
ingness to hand over himself, with his
men, saddles, brides and other possess
sions of the burghers be guaranteed
them and they be free to return to their
homes.
Il have replied that the surrender
must be absolutely unconditional, that
all rifles, ammunition, horses and other
possessions must be given up and that
the burghers will be considered prison
erS of war. 1 added that PrinslOo's over
lures will not be allowed in any way to
interfere with Hunters operation which
must be continued until the enemy is
defeated or has surrendered.
A later dispatch from General Roberts,
dated July %, confirms the surrender of
PrinSloO with 5000 Beers.

PoPULIsTs DIVIDED.
Judicial Convention Results in Two
Candidates.

The election of Judge ]. Jay Buck to
preside over the district court of Lyon,
Coffey and Chase counties is practically
assured by the fact that the Demo-
Gratis and Populists, instead of fusing,
nominated separate candidates; w. A.
Randolph by the Democrats, Dennis
Madden by the Populists.
The convention was held at Emporia
Saturday. Half the Democrats voted
for Randolph, half for Madden Eight
delegates voted for each, notwithstand-
ing the fact that only a total of fifteen
delegates are allowed for the three
counties Those who voted for Madden
We're: L. d. Eppinger, J. Frasier and
Douglas OF Coffey county and J. T. But
Ter, H. Blackshere, J. P. Kuhl, John
Moore and L. Cochran of Chase. Those
who voted for Randolph were: T. G.
Whitley, J. Osborn, John Eskridge, S.
s. Larkins. H D. Dickson of Lyon, and
A J. Sutton. s J. Carter and H. L.
JarbOe of Coffey county.
The convention split over the seating
of F. B. krenz over H. L. Jarboe. The
committee on credentials was out for
half an hour discussing the Krenz-Jar-
Doe situation. At the convention that
named the judicial delegates in Coffey
county the chairman was authorized
to appoint them. At that time the ap-
pOrtiOnment had not been made and he
appointed four Later the apportiOn-
ment was made and one more was need
ed Dr. J. ]. Eastman, the chairman
of the Democratic central committee
den. After this the chairman of the
convention appointed H. L. Jarboe.
Jarboe was for Randolph, and it was on
these two that the contest occurred.
When the committee returned it's re-
port was in favor of H. L. Douglas as
a proxy for Krenz. A motion to adopt
was made and H D. Dickson offered a
minority report for H l. Jarboe. A
motion to substitute it for the majority
report was made. Dickson then made
a speech stating the Coffey county con-
ditions and making a plea for Jarboe,
the chairman's appointee. J. D. Fra
6ier defended the Krenz side and then
Carter talked in favor of Jarboe. Then
three or four speeches followed. Sew
eral times the remarks became pointed
~ personal. Butler of Chase finally
drew the convention back into the reg
ular channels by reading certain pass
ages of law bearing on the situation.
H D. Dickson answered him and the
chairman stopped the debate and put
the motion. It was lost and Dickson
protested against the ruling of the chair
and moved that the convention meet at
the Democratic headquarters. The mo-
ton was put and the Jarboe men
walked out. When they had gone Mad
den was nominated. Randolph was
nominated at the other convention.
The judicial committee elected at the
Madden convention is: J. D. Butler.
Chase county; J. D. F'rasier, Coffey
county, and J. NJ McCown- The Ran
dolph convention committee is: S. H.
Iarkins. Lyon county; H. l. Jarboe.

serious state of affairs in the far east. but
it is evident that it is to be reckoned
with US as an important factor in the

able that the disturbance in trade result
ing from the course of events in China
in the last two months may not show
itself for some time. Already, however,
the -four trade west of the Mississippi has
suffered. The great Lancashire industry
of England has reached the point of dis

doubted that serious disturbance of bank

place. Unless there is very decided change
for the better in the Chinese situation the

Quotations for loans are low at this CEN

FATHER FOILS ELOPERS.
Lovers Overtaken by Girls Parent
After Flight of 300 Miles.

Nashville, Ill, July 3O.-After a flight
of more than 300 miles and three unSuc-
cessful attempts to get married, Charles
Calder and Miss Ida Marston, a young
couple from the Blue Grass region of
Kentucky, were separated by the irate
father of the would-be bride today and
returned to their homes still loyal low
ers. The couple alighted from a Louis
Vile and Nashville train this morning
and applied at the county clerks office
for a marriage license. They gave their
homes as Todd county, KY. A short
time before their arrival the county
sheriff received a telegram to apprehend
an clipping couple answering their deS-
cription, and on the strength of this the
clerk refused to grant the license.
Not discouraged by the failure, the
young man engaged a carriage and,
evading the watch of the officials, start
ed for Pinckneyville, twenty-five miles
south. Within an hour after they de-
parted MarstOn, senior, arrived in this
city hot on the trail of the fugitives. He
stated that they had left Todd county
last night, and he had followed within
two hours after they had departed. He
said his daughter was but II, and
should never marry Calder Marston
had come to Ashley on the Illinois Cen
trail and then driven to this place.
Learning of the couples flight from
Nashville, he procured a fresh team
and, accompanied by a deputy sheriff,
started in pursuit, but the lovers were
not overtaken. They reached Pinckney
Vile an hour ahead of the purSuerS, and
but for telegram sent to the county
clerk of Perry county the couple would
have secured a license and been mar
ried before they could have been appre-
hended.
Disappointed. but hopeful. the couple
boarded a north-bound Illinois Central
train on the st. Louis branch of the
road and rode as far as Coulterville.
There they changed to the Illinois
Southern and again came to this city,
leaving the father far in their wake.
The couple loitered through the court
house and found the deputy clerk on
duty, and not the least bit disconnected
by their first failure, they again APP
piled for q license. The deputy was
suspicious. however, and during the
conversation the sheriff recognized
them and informed them they were in
his care until the parent of the girl ar
rived The father was wired and ar
rived here at night. The three returned
to their homes, though the would-be
groom went on another train. His part
ing shot to the sheriff was, There are
other chances. and the next will be
successful

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN BOLT.
Burton Forces Withdraw in Johnson
Miami District.

It's fashionable now for defeated can
didates for offices to bolt and walk out
of the convention by the action of which
they should abide. This is particularly
true on the part of the supporters of
the candidates for United States sen
ator. They have bolted two conven-
tions, one at Junction City a week ago,
and another at Olathe Saturday
The fusionists in the meantime are
getting their organization into shape
and are preparing to present a united
front to the enemy while the ranks of
the Republican party are being torn
with dissension because of the effort of
a man to get into the senate.
The Burton forces withdrew from a
convention at Olathe Saturday and
nominated a man from johnson county
for senator. The district includes
Miami county, which is for Baker

Attempt to Break Deadlock.

The Republican judicial convention at
Concordia which cast over 1000 votes
with a single change in the deadlock
which occurred on the first ballot, has
adjourned and will try again at the same
place, August IA.
Washington, Republican and Cloud

supported, without a WAIVER, for over a
week, its favorite and there was at no

Another effort will be made in Concor-
dia, and a county convention or two
which takes place between now and the
time of reassembling is expected to
solve the muddle.
