POWER FOR DULUTH.

New Company Which Will Utilize the
Water of the Cloquet.
DULUTH, March 15.-The Highland
Canal and Waterpower company has
entered the field for the development of
water power, to be supplied to Duluth
and vicinity. The men who appear in
the organization thus far are Charles
Cokefair and his son, Francis Cokefair,
a civil engineer Of New York City.
The plan is to bring the water in the
area northeast of Duluth in this and
the Lake counties, which flows into the
Cloquet river, to the top Of the hill in
Duluth, where it will be 750 feet above
the level Of Lake Superior.
This drop will give enormous power,
and with the amount of water that can
be obtained, $4,000 horsepower will be
developed at once, and if desired it can
be made $4,000.

Each Successive Witness in the
Ceur d'Alene Investigation
Tells of Cruelty
Undergone by the Miners at the
Hands Of the Troops-.Some
Spirited Exchanges
Between Committee Members Re-
lating to Conduct of the
Investigation.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Feeling ran
high at the Ceur d'Alene investigation
before the house committee on military
affairs and there were several spirited
exchanges between Chairman Hull and
Representative Lentz. George Cornell
was on the stand relating his experience
during imprisonment, which differed
only in detail from those of other wit.
nesses. One Of his recitals was as to an
old soldier, who because of brutality of
the negro soldiers toward him, took off
his Grand Army button from his coat
and with tears in his eyes, threw it
away. Cornell said he made memo
randum Of the affair, but the book was
taken from him, and he saw it after
ward in the possession of Bartlett Sim
clair, the governors representative dur
ing the troubles
Mr.. Sinclair, who was present, arose
and declared there was no such soldier
as had been described.
Mr.. Lentz Protests.
Mr.. Lentz protested against state
ments not under oath. He also gave
notice that he would call on Mr.. Sim
clair to produce all his books, to locate
this alleged soldier entry. Chairman
Hull here interposed to remind Mr..
Lentz that he was not the entire COM
mittee, and was not in position in
dividually to order the production of
books. This was the province of the
committee, and without such action,
Mr.. Lentz' notices amounted to nothing.
Mr.. Lentz stated that this was the
usual notice that books referred to in
testimony would be called for. He
asked that the committee request, and
without objection this was done. Mr..
Lentz also moved that the committee
call for all rolls, the record, etc., show
ing the names of those held in the ''bull
pen, the charges against them, etc.
The committee went into executive ses-
sion to pass upon the motion.
Retainer From steunenberg.
At the executive session, the commit
tee voted to 5 against calling for the
immediate presentation of the rolls,
records, etc., of the "bull pen." It was
agreed, however, that General Merriam
and others be requested to present any
such papers when they were heard.
When the open session was resumed,
the testimony was soon interrupted by
another exciting controversy. One of
the attorneys present in behalf Of the
State of Idaho, occupied a seat near the
head of the table, and Mr.. Lentz re-
ferred to the outside coaching" which
was going on. He also questioned the
attorney as to whom he represented, by
whom he was retained and what re-
tainer had been paid. The answer was
that Governor Steunenberg had given a
$3.50 check as retainer.

A LONDON COMMENT.

Onsr Of Mediation Considered to Be .
Political Move.
LONDON, March 15.-Regarding the
United States offer of mediation, The
Globe says:
The incident is of interest only in the
light it throws on American politics.
Republicans and Democrats alike, are
always prepared to risk the friendship
of England in the party game. We
may preserve amicable relations with
the United States and it is to be hoped
we always shall do SO, but an alliance is
impossible. We were brought to the
verge of war four years ago, for the sake
Of Mr.. Cleveland's reelection, and a
pretext for diplomatic quarrel will
never be wanting while the anti. English
elements of the republic have to be con.
ciliated.

ference report.

SENSATION OF THE CAUCUS.

Senator Davis Refuses to Be Bound - to
Porto Rico.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 15.-A Wash
ington special to The Times says: When
the Republicans assembled in caucus
Senator Davis was among the first to
speak. He said that he would not be
bound by any caucus. He said that he
understood that the meeting was
for a conference and not caucus.
He said that the electoral vote of
the State Of Minnesota depended
upon the Porto Rican matter and that
he did not propose to trade that away
lightly. To make this expression he
was compelled to interrupt Senator
Hanna, who was making statement
for the Republicans. It was the real
sensation of the caucus.

JAMEsON's OPPORTUNITY.

His Work at Ladysmith Did Much to Re.
store Him to Favor.
LONDON, March ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: DIR.
Jameson was down with enteric fever
and critically i'll when Ladysmith was
relieved. A private dispatch received
here by prominent South African
states that he has rallied and is likely
to recover. DR.. Jameson was anxious
to have military command in the
campaign, but as the leader Of the raid
he was excluded from the service for
political reasons and was not welcomed
when he arrived at Ladysmith few
days before the investment of the town.
His opportunity came. When the gar
rison was fever-stricken he reverted to
medical practice and did 10 mems
work in caring for the fever patients
and the wounded soldiers.
ENJOYS Are High Ohicials.
The peace ENJOYS who have arrived
at Lourenzo Marques are high officials
in the two republics. Mr.. Wolmeras is
member Of the Boer executive council
and blind follower Of President
Kruger, who has implicit confidence in
his fidelity. While nearer 40 than 80
years old, he fought as youth in the
first war Of independence, and was Bit
terly hostile to the outlanders and re-
formers. The South Africans describe
him as an astute and crafty man, who
has learned all he knows about politics
from Mr.. Kruger. Mr.. Fischer has been
state secretary Of the Free State and
has exerted a strong influence over the
Dutch leaders in Cape Colony. He had
the reputation Of being strong Hadvo.
cate Of peace a year ago. but President
Steyn carried him into the war and has
been faithfully served by him.
The ministers, having the moral sup
port Of the united nation, are indiffer-
emit to the appeals which the Dutch are
making for foreign intervention,
whether in Europe or America. They
confidently expect Lord Roberts to go
from Bloemfontein to Pretoria and are
resolute in fighting the battle Of the
United Empire. They will regard the
intervention Of any European power as
an unfriendly act. precisely as the
Americans would have done at the close
Of the war with Spain when the British
government refused to NEEDLE in what
did not concern it.
There. is evidently the hope on the

AWAIT The NEWS
British Public Confident That
Roberts Should Now Be at
!. Bloemfontein.
Another surmise Is That There
Has Been More Severe
Fighting.
Salisbury's Attitude on Peace
Proposals Is Generally
Approved.

LONDON, March ia few hours
should bring important dispatches from
Lord Roberts. No word has come from
Bloemfontein, although sharp fighting
is believed to have occurred since the
commander-in-chief was last heard of.
London confidently expects the occupa-
ton Of the Orange Free State capital
has occurred as previously forecasted.
In the meanwhile attention turns to
Mafeking. That hamlet Of the plains
can scarcely hold out much longer. The
news of Colonel Plumer's approach has
given substance to the rumors Of it's re-.
ief, but those best informed are inclined
to think the relief is more likely to be-
come accomplished by Colonel Peak
mans column from Kimberley.
Private advices have set forth that
Colonel Plumer had almost given up
hope Of accomplishing anything more
than harrassing the Beers, though since
they were written, it is possible that the
diminished numbers of the investing
force may have rendered Plumer's task
more feasible.
Judgidg from the lack of news, every
thing is quiet in Natal, while from
Herschel comes the statement that the
total collapse Of the insurgent colonists
is imminent.
General Cronje, according to a Cape
Town special, sails for st. Helena March
10, accompanied by all the Paardeberg
prisoners.
Cecil Rhodes is suffering from catarrh
Of the stomach and is unable to sail for
England.
Natal dispatches recount the greatest
satisfaction is felt there at Lord Sails
bury's reply to the Boer president's IS
peace overtures.
A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg,
published in the second edition of The
Times, says:
"The reply, especially the last para
graph, relating to independence, has
been received in Natal with a feeling
Of great relief, and is dispelling all
doubts
A private dispatch from Johannes
burg has been received in London dated
Saturday, March 10, contradicting the
reports that the mines are flooded and
all the machinery broken, and asserting
that all is well.
