TO IMPORT LACE MAKERS.
DR.. Dowle, the Well Known Faith Healer
of Chicago, to Embark In q New
Enterprise.


Washington, May John Alex
Dowie, the well known faith healer of
Chicago, and the general overseer of
the Christian Catholic church." was
at the treasury department yesterday
and had a conference with Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Taylor.
He stated that he had recently pur-
chased at Nottingham, Eng, five ma
chimes for making Nottingham lace,
as well as other necessary machinery,
which he would set up near Wauke-
gan, Wis. He also had engaged under
contract 20 experts in lace making,
and his purpose in seeing the treasury
officials was to learn whether there
would be any legal objection to their
coming into the country. He was in
formed by the secretary that the con-
tract labor laws of the United States
made specific exception in the case of
workmen to be employed in an in
dustry new to this country and as
lace making undoubtedly was new
industry here there could be no OBJ
lection to his bringing over the men
he had engaged. DR.. Dowie stated
that he had 10000 acres of land near
Waukegan where his lace plant would
be established for the benefit of the
members of his church community
and he expected to make the enter
prise very profitable.

London, April 30.--A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Johannesburg dated
Thursday, April 26. says: Personal
examination of the scent of the I,eg-
bic works disaster show that the
foundry was destroyed by the expl6-
zion beyond repair, probably, this side
of the declaration of peace, although
the shell making plant may be trans
ferred to another foundry. II is said
that II workmen are still unaccounted
for. Mr.. Regbe is charged with muir
der. He is suspected by the Beers of
having blown up his works, which
cost 800, 900, in order to revenge him
self for the affront of being compelled
to manufacture munitions of war for
the enemy"

THE GOEBEL MURDER.


Frankfort, KY, May Five of the
defendants charged with completely
or as accessories in the murder Of
William Goebel were arraigned yes
terday before Judge Cantrill. They
were Republican Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, Capt. John W. Davis,
lIarland Whitaker, w. II. Culton and
Richard Combs, colored All of them
entered pleas of not guilty.
Henry 4. Youtsey, who had previ-
ously been arraigned and pleaded not
guilty, was also in court and his at
torney asked for change of venue.
The prosecution waived notice and al
lowed the motion to come up along
with similar motion, filed in the
cases of Powers, Davis, Whitaker and
Combs.
Ex-Gov. Brown insisted that the
motion for a change of venue be
passed on before the arraignment of
the prisoners, but the court overruled
the motion on the ground that the de-
PENDANTS were not technically before
the court until after the arraignment,
TO this ruling the defense saved an
exception. After the arraignment
ex-Gov. Brown, for the defense, ten
dered pardons granted by Republican
Governor Taylor to Caleb Powers and
John Davis and offered them as bar
to the prosecution.
Judge Cantrill said: "The alleged
pardons are not good in law. The
title to the office of governor is in
dispute and the litigation over it is
still pending in court. The motion
to dismiss the indictments is over
ruled"
The petitions for change of venue
were then made. The court adj
journed until to-day before settling
the question.

statement of facts, constituting what
the witnesses would testify to If
called on the stand. The jury is COM
posed Of seven Mormons and one Gen.
tile. The agreed statement was SUBJ
mitted and counsel for the defendant
moved that the court instruct the
jury to return verdict of not guilty.
The motion was overruled and after
brief arguments the case was submit

Prospects Of an Advance Favorable.


Bloemfontein, April 3O.-The recent
operations have tended to clear the
military situation. Gen. Pole-Carew
passing through the country has
brought home to the Free Staters the
fact that the policy of lenfency has
been abandoned. Besides Selling the
stock of farmers, who, after having
given their submission, were found
fighting, he commandered all the avail
able forage, giving receipts for the
same, and this will prevent the Beers
using the resources of the country.
The Beers are now evidently returning
in order to concentrate for oppos-
ing the British advance. Now that
Thaba N'Chu as well as the APP
proaches is strongly held, Ladysmith,
with the unfriendly Basutos lining the
border, is rendered position of ex-
IRENE danger for the Beers, the gray
ity of which will be accentuated from
the moment the British advance be-
gins
1t is understood that the British
will continue to hold Thaba N'Chu,
owing to its strategic Importance, and
especially with view of checking
future raids. The commanders that
had recently been operating in the d.
rection of Thaba N'Chu are melting
away, the Beers quietly returning to
their farms, and many of them taking
the oath of allegiance. Experience
has shown, however, in many cases
that this is only pretense to enable
the Beers to create disturbances on
the rear of the British and vigorous
methods will probably be necessary to
force real disarmament.
The Fight At Israei's Poort
London, April 3O.--A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Thaba N'Chu, de-
scribing the fight at Israe's poort,
says: During the afternoon the bat
tie became general and extended over
frontage of ten miles. At three
o'clock the Canadians advanced in
open order, but meeting with a ter
rife fire, they took shelter in donga.
When they finally captured the kopje
the Beers were seen retiring north
and east with wagons and subsequent
ly when the infantry made dash, the
rest of the enemy fired few shots
and cleared off. On occupying Thaba
N'Chu we found the stores and hotels
oil looted BY the Beers. The natives

London, April 27.-The report that
the Beers had reoccupied Loshof
proves to be untrue. Lord Methuen
10 still there and Gen. Hunters d.
vision from Natal, which was supposed
to be going to Bloemfontein, is ar
irving at Kimberley. This is evidence
that some important operations are
afoot In that district. 1t is under
stood that the reason the Beers did
not destroy the Bloemfontein water
works was that there are many Beers
among the shareholders.
The Beers are showing more ac-
fivity in Natal, They are placing
some heavy guns four miles north of
Elandslaagte.
A body of Bocr prisoners has been
landed at St. Helena. The Neither
lands minister of foreign affairs yes
terday received the Boer peace com.

tial election campaign.

THE Beers ACTIVE,
The Communication of the British
at War.ent0n Threatened.
HORSE SICKNESS BREAKS CUT.


London, May THE Beers are
now showing uncommon activity
west of Bloemfonten. They are in
force between Fourteen Streams and
Kimberley. On Sunday they occupied
Windsorton, west of the railway, and
now threaten to interrupt the COM
munication of the British force at
Warrenton to the north. This, too,
at time when Gen. Hunter is about
to start on 200-mile march to MAIZE
king, probably with 5000 men.
To the east of Bloemfontein the
Beers Sunday night were still holding
the hills near Thaba N'Chu, while be-
hind them long wagon trains, loaded
with wheat for the Boer army in the
north, are moving through Lady
brand. The British captured one
Boer convoy on Saturday but its size
is not mentioned in the dispatch,
which barely announces the fact.
Wepener, lately the scene of inces-
SAINT fighting, is deserted. Gen. Bra
bant and Col. Dalgety having moved
northward.
4 dispatch from Maseru, dated
Monday, says: "The Basutos are a
second time astounded to see the
Beers peacefully retiring with herds
which the natives think should be the
booty of the British, who are said
to be the conquerors."
According to information from
Maseru the main body of the Beers
reached Leeuw river, due west of
Ladybrand, Sunday, small parties
trailing behind at intervals of ten
miles to protect the rear and whip
up their herds. Slight outpost actions
take place daily beyond Karee siding,
where the head of the British invasion
is cautioned.
African horse sickness has broken
out in Gen. Buffers army. 1t proves
especially fatal among freshly ar
rived animals. The Bloemfontein
correspondents point out that the
deficiencies in the veterinary depart
ment cause thousands of losses.
The war specials yesterday consist
ed chiefly OF detached scraps, the
favorite introduction of the military
commentators and editorial writers
being that, as only scant news has
been wired, something big is prob
ably about to happen.
Beers Buying Provisions
London, May 1.-The Lourenzo
Marques correspondent of the Times,
telegraphing Monday from Pretoria,
says: Part of the machinery of the
Begbie works has started again. The
federal governments continue to buy
enormous quantities 'of provisions"

AFRICAN War NEWS.
Criticisms Heard in London Ab,u,
Lord Roberts Slow Progress.
PROSPECTS OF ADVANCE FAVORABLE.


London, April 2S.-In Commandant
General Louis Botha the Beers appear
to have found capable successor to
Joubert. As the result of his insight
and quick decision it may be assumed
now that the retreating commanders
have gotten safely away with the
transport. Meanwhile the advance to
Pretoria has not begun. Small won
der is il that muffled complaints and
criticisms are beginning to be heard
here and there against Lord Roberts.
Two-thirds of his entire force have
been employed in effecting this small
satisfaction, and the probability is
that the whole force must be again
concentrated on Bloemfontein before
the main advance begins. As similar
raids on the British communications
are likely to be repeated it is evident
" stiI far cry to Pretoria.
The significance of Gen. Hunters
division going to Kimberley, where
mounted troops are also arriving
daily, is now said to be a serious at
tempt to deal with the strong Boer
forces ON the Naal river, now threat
ening TO retake Rarllly, and then an
endea,or to relieve Mufeking. 1t will
be borne in mind that Gen. Hunter
paid hurried visit to Lord Roberts
at Bocmfontein.
Euigher. Fighting Reluctantly
London, April 9s.--l'lfe Bloemfon-
TEN correspondent of the Morning
Post, telegraphing Thursday, says:
Most satisfactory progress has been
made in the accumulating of stores
during the present week. Supply
park now presents respectable APP
pearance. The prospects of general
advance are more, favorable.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Times telegraphing Thursday,
says: There appears to be little
chance of infictng effective punish
ment on the retreating Beers. Com
mandant General Louis l}otha, who
arrived at DeWets dorp Monday, re-
allied the situation at once and or
dered the immediate withdrawal of
the Beers both from there and from
Wepener.
The Boers slip Away.
London, April 2s.-The Daily Chron-
icle has the following from Vaalbank,
dated Wednesday, April 25: "For two
days the Beers have been fighting a
series of rear guard actions. Crossing
the Modder here and holly pursued
by Gen. Anderson they got into the
kopies southeast of the crossing and
narrowly missed being captured by
Gen. Rumble, who was coming from
that direction, but, on sight of his
ADVANCE, tney turned eastward ana
slipped away between Gen. Anderson
and Gen Rumble. A prisoner just cap
tured asserts that President Steyn
was present during Mondays fight
at Slangfontein, east of Leeuw kop.
He had shaved his beard, so that he
was not easily recognizable"
Prospects Of an Advance Favorable.
Lorenzo Marques, April 2s.-The
commanders ordered to the front are
obeying reluctantly. One burgher,
who has escaped injury in number
of battles, admits that the Beers have
fired on the Red Cross frequently.
The sending of Gen. Cronie to st.
Helena has greatly enraged the Beers.
who are said to be more than ever
determined to fight to the death.
