DENVER, Col, Nov. 1S.-At a mans

cluo circles, and others. They all spoke
IN strong terms, condcmning what was
termed the "Llmon atroclty." and also
denounced the sensational display Of
newspaper stories concerning 1t. The
audience was stirred at times almost to
'olous demonstrations OF approval.
Resolutions adopted admit the diff

crime for which Porter was punished.

ROOSEVELT PLACES
VAN WYCK ON THE RACK.
Charges Preferred Against the Mayor of New York
City by the Governor for His Connec-
tion With the Ice Trust.
MAY Be REMOVED FROM HIS HIGH OFFICE.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-Governor
Roosevelt has prepared the following
memorandum Of the charges against
Mayor Van Wyck, OF New York city, in
the Ice Trust matter:
There are three wholly distinct sides
10 the Ice Trust matter.
IN the first place. there Is L general
question whether the American Ice
Company, dealing as 1t does in y neces-
sIty Of life to the poor people of New
York. was one into which 1t was proper
for public spirited man TO enter. This
Is, OF course. not a question for legal
action in any shape. or form. Moreover,
st Is unnecessary to point out whether
the corporation is legal or illegal, proper
or improper In character. 1t is an act
Of utter hypocrisy on the part of any
public man to denounce trusts in gen.
eral and this trust in particular, in the
platform and on the stump. while he,
at the same time. in his private capa-
city, holds stock or has held stock In the
trlst that he thus tenounces.
Why Attention is Called.
Attention is called to this feature
simply because an effort has been made
to show that unless legal action against
the trust or some of Its stockholders
can be taken these same public men are
to be exonerated.
Second: There Is the question
whether or not the existence of this So
called Ice Trust Is In violation OF the
antitrust law. This. Of course, can
only be decided by the courts
"on May 2Sth, 1900, the attorney gen
eral instituted proceedings to annul the

The statement made by NJ. LerouN,

Gov. PIngree Onizzed.

The feature of the second day of the
trial of Gen. A. +. Marsh at Lansing
was the introduction of an order issued
by Gov. Pingree, authorizing Quarter
mastcr-General w. l.. White to advcr-
tise for bids to equip the national
guard. The governor, on the witness
stand, admitted the genuineness of the
order, but remembered but few of the
facts surrounding the same, except that
the national guard was badly in need
of equipment. The efforts of the de-
Tense were directed to show that Gen.
Marsh implicitly trusted Gen. White
and accepted his word regarding mill
tary board affairs without question.
The letters of Gen. Marsh and Col. SUIT
ton, asking Attorney-Gcncral Oren for
an opinion as to the proper way TO dis
pose of the surplus military stores pur-
chased under the Spanish war fund
act, were introduced as evidence.

TRANsvAAL WAR ITEMS.

Gen. Clements entered Philippolis at
noon on March %. He assembled the
burghers, addressed them, and read
Lord Roberts proclamation in Dutch
and English. The future of the Free
State, he declared, would have to be
decided by her majestys advisers, but
the burghers might be certain that the
late government at Bloemfontein would
never be restored. He advised all the
inhabitants TO accept the inevitable
and to obey all the orders of the mill
tary and other authorities duly APP
pointed, intimating that the landdrost
and sheriffs had been reappointed nm
der the queen. The burghers began
taking the oath of allegiance and sur
rendering their arms.
President Kruger issued proclama-
ton on the 22d anneXing the Free
State to the Transvaal. Mr.. Steyn
Immediately issued a counter procla-
nation declaring the Free State intact
1t is rumored that Mr.. Kruger and Mr..
Steyn will meet at Kroonstadt in the
Orange Free State, on April 4, TO dis
cuss the future program. The feeling
between the Transvaal and the Free
State is very bitter.
1t is reported from Pretoria that a
scheme has been arranged for the ANAL
gamation of the Transvaal and the
Free State. Kruger will become pres
ident of the federated states and Steyn
commandant-general of the Boer army.
The flag will be the same as that of the
Transvaal, with an additional Orange
color. Although this story is not con-
firmed, it is not improbable.
A dispatch from Bloemfontein says:
The late allies are now bitter foes. So
strong is the popular feeling here that,
were it desirable, n large body of Free
Staters would take the field and fight
Immediately against the Transvaalers.
The total British losses to date, Mar.
%, exclusive of the invalids sent home,
are 16, 41s in killed, wounded and miss
ing.
The Beers blew up the railroad
bridge which crossed the Modder river,
IA miles north of Bloemfontein, on the
10th.
Lord Roberts has cabled from Bloem-
fontein to the effect that many Free
Staters are anxious TO give up.
