History of United States, in six volumes,
by Edward S. Ellis, which l have in my
library, with considerable care. l am
very much pleased with the work Of the
distinguished historian. He seems to
have completed his task with conscien-
tious care; the arrangement of the work
is admirable and the excellent maps aud
copious margin notes greatly facilitate
the study of our country's history. l
find that all the disputed points of his
tory are treated with fairness and honesty.
The author gives due credit to all the
discoveries and explorers. He imputes
no bad or sordid motives but leaves the
student Of history to form his own con-
illusions from the facts presented.
1t is in this candid spirit that history
should be written. Mr.. Ellis iniparts q
wholesome lesson to all compilers of his
tory. ! sincerely hope that this admira.
BILE work may find ready sale. 1t will,
l am sure, accomplish great amount ot
good in making clear to all students oil
the history Of our beloved country, its
glorious record. He has earned the
gratitude of all honest Americans in thus
presenting to the public an honest work
of study and scholarly research.
With becoming gratitude for the pleas.

Buildings, and he Was En-
thuslaStically Received.
BY THE HELP OF THE LORD
And the valor Of the Troops; occupa-
ton Of Free State Capital
Was Accomplished.

LONDON, March Is, 1850 a. m.-The
first half Of the campaign Sc over.
Lord Roberts arrived AT Modder river
on February Q. he entered Bloemfon-
tein on March 1s, Thus, in little over a
month he has effected the relief of
Kimberley and Ladysmith, the capture
OF General cron1es forces and the
holstlng OF the British flag In the cap
itoI OF the Free State. All this has
been accomplished with comparatively
trifllng losses.
1t ls small wonder that he Is the hero
of the hour in England. All the news
papers euloglze him and congratulate
the country. They talk of the Free
State as having passed out of exist
ence and as being now one Of the shad-
ows Of history.
It Is not doubted that there may yet
be heavy lighting. but the genius of
Lord Roberts is looked to for victory
over all difficulties. His grim reference
to the "late" President steyn is un-
derstood to show that there shall be no
ambiguity as to the position assumed
toward the republics. The fact that
Mr. Frazier late chairman Of the Free
state Raad and leader Of the opposl-
tion to Mr.. steyn came with the depu-
tation to surrender the keys Is re-
garded as extremely significant of con-
siderable difference of opinion among
the Free staters regarding the war.
1t Is said that President Kruger
hates Mr.. Frazier on account Of his
sympathy with the outlanders. The
demonstrations of the Bloemfonteln in
habltants are regarded as good aug
ury for the future British supremacy
1t is interesting in connection with
the rapid advance Of Lord Roberts to
learn that the Russian military attache
with the Beers who were captured by
the British, sent the following telegram
to the czar: II am perfectly amazed
at the energy. In action and the endpr-
ance Of the British infantry. I need
say no more"
There is still no news as to whether
Lord Roberts has captured any rolling
stock. II he has not, then he will be
obliged to wait until the repairing of
the bridges over the Orange river en-
ablcs him to bring rolling stock up.

advance on the Orange river. The

politicians that the enactment Of the
bill, instead Of being a blunder, was tha
shrewdest campaign move Of the age.
He says this defense is In the hands Of
Senator Frye, who will spring It in the
senate In due season. It win be shown,
he says, that the sugar and tobacco
trusts were opposing the bin with
might and main, and that their demand
was for free trade with ell the COLONIES.
It VIII further be shown, he says. that
1t was the intention Of the trusts to
squat" in the colonies and Hood Amer

would have the effect to drive countless
thousands of Iaboring men out Of houso
and home. Even the approximate Ee+

MAKING Law ODIOUS

New York Police Arresting Proprie-
tors Of Fashionable Restaurants
Because They Have No Concert
Hall License-Even Invaded So
cred Precincts of Fifth Avenue.
NEW YORK, March 14.-rhe police
carried out their threat tonight and
arrested the proprietors Of most Of the
fashionable restaurants, including the
proprietor Of the Imperial hotel, on the
charge Of having music in their res
taurants without a concert hall license.
The police also visited such places as
the Hotel Majestic, the Marie Antoin-
ette, the st. Andrew and the Empire,
ordering that the music be stopped.
Intense Indignation was manifested
by some of those who came under tho
severe hand Of the police tonight. and
they were enraged that they should be
designated in the same class with offen-
ders like the proprietors Of the Tiyoli,
the Bohemia, the Cairo cafe and other
places Of unsavory reputation.
The manager of sherry's was com-
PEELED to send his musicians home, ows
ing to the fact that he did not have q
concert hall license. The waldorf-AS-
torIa has concert hall license and the
merry strain Of music was heard in
that vicinity throughout the evening.
The managers Of the Buckingham. the
Savoy and the Netherland, all on Fifth
avenue, also received notice to stop
their orchestras until they secured
concert hall licenses and they compiled
with this order
This action was taken by the polics
after a consultation OF Inspector
Thompson and several Of the captains
at the tenderloin station. Detectives
were sent out about o'clock during the
busy hour at the restaurants and to-
night brought back number OF pEiS-
oners. The prisoners gave ball prompts
ly and were outspoken In their denuns
cIation OF the action OF the police. as
were the patrons Of the restaurants.
Captain Donahue, Of the West Fortys
seventh street police station, sent out
his men to stop all music, but they
made no arrests. The restaurants In
the precinct had to get along without
orchestras. The same treatment was
served out to all the prominent restaurs
ant proprletors in the uptown districts.
A summons was served on Michael
shanley to appear before a magistrate
and explain why he permitted music In
his restaurant on Tuesday night.

Special Dispatch TO the IntelligenceF.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March H.
The coroner'a jury which sat at Red
Ash, to hear evidence as to the cause Of
the explosion in the mine there, to-day
at noon returned the following verdict;
ave, the Jury, ind that B. B. Long
and others came to their death by rea-
son OF an explosion of gas in the Red
Ash mines, In the county Of Fayette
and state Of West Virginia. on the 9Th
day Of March, 1900, caused by lack OF
proper ventilation on this date"
This verdict was signed by R. j.
Thrift, Isaac Dodd, ]. A. Collins, 9. q.
Brown, B. E. Bare and Lee Trimble,
who constituted the jury.
The inquest was commenced Tuesday
morning about II o'clock. Twelve Wit
nesses were examined, and several Of
them were recalled, some being on the
stand as long as an hour. The interTo-
eating was done by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Dillon, OF Fayette. and Chief Nine
Inspector Paul, Coroner Montgomery
Of Fayette, presiding, The testimony
showed the condition of the mine from
the beginning Of It's operation, about
1898, up to the morning Of the explo-
ison. It was conclusively proven that
gas was found IN It, at various tines
and in various quantities.
It was also proven, however, that the
air fan was constantly kept in opera
ton all Of the previous day (Mcnday>'
and that 1t had been started up before
the men entered the mine. The evil
dence tended to show, also, that the
men entered the mine before the fan
had been IN operation long enough to
clear the mine Of gases. The fact that
the fan might have been operated at
the time by power from the Rush Run
mine, would not, 1t was brought out
have affected the operation of the fan.

nent possesslon of It. Mr. Teller held
that this government could make the
outlying territory Into states or could
hold It as colonies, as It saw fit; while
Mr.. Turner maintained that the United
States could not hold colonies or depen-
dencles. Aside from the constitutional
questions, the two senators were in
practical agreement. Both were oppos,
ed to the pending bill, and both ob1ect-
ed to any Of the insular territory be-
coming part OF the United States or
any Of its inhabitants citizens Of the

REPUBLICAN SENATORS
Lining Up on Puerto Rican Tarih
Biil-senator Elkins Takes Promi-
uent Part in Debate.

Lining Up on Euereo hAssIn Es.tElL
Biil-senator Ellins Takes Promi-
nent Part in Debate.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. March a.
The Republican senators in caucus to-
day reached a partial agreement on
Peurto Rican legislation. The house
bill appropriating 100000, IS to be
taken up and passed Immediately. The
bill for a civil government Of the is-
land Is to be taken UP and disposed Of
as soon as possible and the tariH bill is
to be delayed for the present while a
committee Of seven senator's to be se-
lected by Chairman Allison is to tryto
compromise differences on the revenue
bill and secure measure which Re-
publican senators generally can sup-
port. This partial agreement was
reached after a caucus lasting from 2
o'clock until $3.50.
The temper of the debate to-day was
much mllder than that of yesterday. AS
soon as 1t was generally understood
that the tariff features of the legisla-
tion were to be postponed the discuss
ion reverted to the governmental fea-
lures Of the bill and upon this subject
the time was mostly spent. Senator
Foraker explained many features Of the
bill and was frequently INTERCEPTED 50
that he was on his feet great deal Of
the time.
Senator EIlsins said that he favored
leaving not only the question Of the
revenues, but the government Of the
island as well, to the President. He
thought the island would be much bet
ter off under military rule for the next
two years than under any government
that could be devised by Congress. He
partially counselled delay. 1--WE will
know o lot more about this whole
question in a year or two years than
we know now" he said, "and the is-
lands will be as well taken care of dur
ing that time as they would be under
any legislation we may pass"
Senator EllSins said that haste was
not necessary and earnestly supported
the proposition to delay the tariff bill
and said he thought the governmental
bill might well be delayed, too.
Senator Foraker said that the ques-
ton of dealing with the islands was be-
fore Congress and he for one thought
Congress should act. The committee on
Puerto Rico had given great deal Of
time to the subject and felt sure the
bill prepared would meet all emergen-
Giles.
There was general unanimity as to
the wisdom of providing for immediate
action on the 100000 relief PROPOSE
ton, the opinion Of all senators being
that measure should be passed for hui
name reasons.
Senator Hoar talked at considerable
length about the legal phase of the
question. expressing the opinion that
the senate could not act with too great
dellberatIon iQ considering SO momen-
tous subject.
Many other speeches were made in
the same line, notably by Senators AID
rich and Mason.
At this point, the suggestion Of a
committee was made and as soon as
the authority for It's appointment was
given the caucus adjourned sine die.

TYE coRoNRR's VERDICT.
Two More in the Mine are Not Yet
Accounted for.
AZ Aasoclnted Press.


BY Associated Press,
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March H.
The coroners jury, which has been
hearing evidence as to the cause Of the
recent disaster at Red Ash mine, to-
day returned the following verdict;
I'VE, the jury, find that B. B. Long
and others came to their death by rea-
son OF an explosion of gas in Red Ash
mine in Fayette county, W. Va, on the
9Th Of March, 1900, caused by lack of
proper ventilation on that date"
Evidence at the inquest showed that
the men entered the mine before the
fire boss had examined and reported on
its condition, also that there was some
probability that the workmen leaving
the mine on the night previous to the
explosion left one or more venilating
doors open. Up to date a total of forty
seven dead have been removed from
Red Ash mine. Others taken out,
though badly injured, will recover.
Only two more known to have been in
the mine are not yet accounted fora
