CLAIM Is REJECTED.
County VIII Not Pay BookvaIter and
MeCasIin What They Demand.

The County Council spent all day yester-
day with the commissioners and architects
discussing the appropriation of $4,000 that
has been asked for TO complete the heat
and power plaBt for the courthouse and
the tunnel from the courthouse to the jail.
The members of the Council say that some
thing must be done to relieve the present
condition for heating and lighting the
courthouse, but Ii has hesitancy about
making another appropriation. until as
surance Is given that the amount proposed
will be sufficient to complete the work.
This is all that prevents action from being
taken, and the Council IS celebrating 10

plans to see that nothing has been left out.
The claim Of Experts Bookwalter and
McCaslin for $44S.1 they claim IS due them
as their per cent. of fees collected, which,
they say, is the result of their investiga-
ton, was rejected. The Council held that
ii could not be determined If the experts
were responsible for the collections, as
many might have discovered their indebt-
edness and paid IL without notification.
The experts went to work with an agree
ment that they should receive Is per cent
of all fees they found due the county,
after they bad been collected.

FIRST GAME POSTPONED
BALL SEASON WILL OPEN AT WASH
INGTON PARK TOMORROW.
Rain Caused Postponement of To-
Days Game-Four Players Re-
Ieased-Quinn and MagOOn Sign.

The steady downpour OF rain yesterday
meant hundreds of dollars loss to the In
dianapolis Baseball Club. The park was
transformed into a sea of mud, which made
it necessary for Manager Watkins to post
pone the opening of the American League
championship season, which was scheduled
to open to-day. The first game with Cleve-
land will be played tomorrow. No work
could be done on the park yesterday, but
if the weather is favorable large force of
men will be at work this morning to put it
in shape for the opening of the season.
Manager Watkins announced, last night.
that the parade preceding the game to-
morrow will start from the Grand Hotel at
Ills and will be headed by the Military
Band, with the indianapolis and Cleveland
players riding in carriages. The line of
march will be as follows: South on Illinois
street to the Union Station. east to Meridi-
an street, north to Monument place. to
Market street, east to Pennsylvania. north
TO Ohio, west TO Capitol avenue, south to
Washington street and east to the park.
The game will be called at 3:15. AS an
nounced yesterday, Manager Watkins will
use Kellum and Dammann in the box
Last midnight the players on the Indian
dpOlS team began drawing SdldTleS, out
before this went into effect Manager Wat
kins released Internationally Frank Fore
man, John Dobbs and Ed Lynch. Pitcher
Foley was also released to Youngstown,
o. Magoon and Quinn signed their con-
tracts and are now regular members of the
Indianapolis team, but it is hardly prob
able that both of them will be carried
throughout the season, as Flynn will be
used as utility man, and only one of them
is needed for second base.
Manager Watkins said. last night that
the fact that he has such good team to
be better weather by and by keeps him
from entirely losing his smiles, as the
cent rainy weather has caused him loss
of at least $3.50 He realizes the fact that
the crowds would be more enthused over
the opening of the season If there had been
games with Pittsburg and Cincinnati,
which were prevented by the rain, and, to-
gether with the opening game being post
poned a day causes him a loss which can
not be made up. But with the team he has
together he is sure Indianapolis will stand
near the top and be such drawing card
that the patronage at Washington Park,
this season, will far exceed the attendance
heretofore.
"watty" still believes he has the fastest
and strongest outfield in the league, not
represent Chicago. The makeup of Chi
cago's outfield is Dowd, Brodie, Hoy and
Mcfarland 1t will cause Mcfarland hard
work to retain q place on the team with
such three strong men striving for posi-
lions in the out gardens

PLUMER WELL INTRENCHED.

PLUMER'S COLUMN. Gaberones. April
6, via Lourenzo Marques, April 1.-THE
Boer artillery about Mafeking is well
light four-wheeled carriages. each drawn
by four smart horses, in marked contrast
with those Colonel Plumer fought with at
Crocodile pool. The Beers. too, are well
mounted and we'll dressed and have fit
looking patrols. The grain and other crops
in the district are excellent, so the Trans
walters are not likely to suffer from scare
ity of food for long time.
Plumer's little force is now strongly in
trenched northwest of Mafeking. The
country hereabouts is much easier ira
versed than that the Rhodesians op-
Grating in. The total casualties Saturday
were seventy-eight, but many are conva-
descent. Men and horses are improving in
health as the winter approaches.
Natives report that the inhabitants of
Mafeking are very hungry. Should fly
ing column be dispatched to their relief 1t
will find the country well grassed and
watered as II proceeds northward.
letter has been received here from
Commandment Snyman with reference to
the British wounded and prisoners at the
Boer laager after the engagement of
March 81, from which Ii is learned that
Captain Crewe died of his wounds. Lieu
tenant Milligan is not prisoner and is be-
lieved TO be among those buried by the
Beers. The British casualties were two
officers and six men killed, three officers
and thirty-six men wounded and one off,
Ger and eleven men made prisoners.

AN OBSTINATE WOMAN.
Wants to Go to BlOemfOntein Despite
Lord ROberts's order.

LONDON, April 1S-The Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, in
dispatch dated Tuesday, says: 1T is hoped
that the boisterous weather now prevailing
may delay the Beers and afford us an OPP
portunity of capturing a number of raid
ing bands, as only a few drifts are passa-
BILE. One of the oddities of the situation is
the enormous number of civilians, both
men and women, who now stopped at
Norvals pont. The military authorities
have properly refused to allow them TO
proceed up the line because of the difficulty
of feeding the moving army, which is very
great, and because time is object of in
calcuable importance. Many of these peo-
pie are squatting upon the banks of the
Orange river and looking across longingly.
Some of them profess to have business
here, while others say they are going TO
see relations but many are attracted by
sheer curiosity. Scenes are of constant &C.
currence. One woman yesterday insisted
Upon travelling TO see her husband at
Bloemfontein. The military officers and
railway officials tried to coax her out of
the train. She would not bulge and the
officers retired discounted. Finally her
carriage was detached from the train and
the latest report is that the lady is still
sitting there. while others are watching to
see IL her persistence is rewarded by vic.
tory, themselves ready 10 assume the same

NEW YORK, April 17.-Joseph Jefferson
had ar extraordinary reception at the
Fifth-avenue Theater last night when he
began his New York season with RIP Van
Wrinkle" At the conclusion of the per-
formance Mr.. jefferson was repeatedly
called before the curtain, and In response
TO the demands for a speech said: II thank
you cordially for the reception and ap-
plause which you have given me tonight.
and if L did not address you when 1 ap-
peared before the curtain at the end of the
first act IL was because L did not wish to
recall the thread of the story. 1 played
this before your grandfathers and grand
mothers. 1t is sixty years since first ap-
peared as an actor. j was then but child,
and IL is pleasant, indeed, for me to know
that there are so many young people here
choly at this time. but when 1 discuss
these things IL Is difficult to avoid becom-
ing sad, for the actor can only live in the
memory of those who have seen him. To
them he is a revelation; to others a tradi-
ton. can only say that If / have tarried
here too long, you who come to see me are
quite much to blame as /. but when
am encouraged by such applause and by
an asSemblage so brilliant l must say
have no intention of leaving the stage, and
] must say that / thoroughly appreciate

by saying that / appreciate from my heart

GRAVE ERRORS.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)


Lord Robertss dispatch the position of Sir
Redvers Butler is rendered untenable and
his resignation or a recall is matter of
course. But the government cannot be
credited with arranging the matter with
consideration or generosity.
There was no need to trumpet these
things to the world The dispatches might
have slept I'm the archives for the use of flu
ture historians and General Buffers recall
might have been arranged with diplomatic
delicacy. General Butler was appointed
