LONDON, Jan. 3O.-History pauses for
a time in South Africa. It is one Of
those unsatisfactory pauses that are
necessarily trying to British nerves as a
sequence to reverses, and it is expected
twill only terminate when Lord Rob-
erts will give the word for Il forward
movement into the Free State, which,
according to the most cheerful view, he
will be unable to do for a fortnight.
Whether he will permit General Butler
to- make another attempt torelieve Lady
smith is quite outside of the knowledge
Of those closely connected with the
war Office. With the troops due to ar
rive next month he may think himself
strong enough to try two large opera
tions. Combining the forces under
Lord Methuen, French and Gatacre and
advancing to them the arriving troops,
I.ord Roberts would have 10000 for the
invasion of the Free State with 10000 to
5O, coo guarding communications and
40, 900 trying to rescue Ladysmith.
4 Troops at Sea and Ready TO Sail.
Twenty thousand two hundred and
twenty-five men and 155 guns are at
sea. Eleven thousand infantry and
"a, 900 cayalry, including 5000 yeomanry,
are practically ready to embark. There
fore the government, without doing
more, can place at the disposal Of Lord
Roberts 4O, 1000 additional men and 155
guns. The further purposes Of the war

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. 31.-The lum-
bermen Of the state are much alarmed
at reports that the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate, which purchased the Northern Pa
cific lands, has cruisers in the lumber
regions endeayoring to secure the best
lands. 1t is feared that the syndicate
will grab all the best ground. The ar
rival of Ex-Governor Clough and other
members of the Clark Nickerson syndi-
cate recently formed in Minneapolis has
added to local lumbermen's anxiety. 1t
is believed that the two great concerns
will shut out local men from lands,
which they hold by slight title. A
strong association here will consider the
situation at IL meeting to be held soon.
Both new concerns are looking around
for sites for mills that promise to BE-
larger than any in the state.

the Frankfort penitentiary, was walk

street to the capitol building. Goebel
being on the right Of the three When
the three men were two-thirts of tho

shot was fired from the third story Of

ball struck Mr.. Goebel in the side and

of them struck close, making the dust
fly from the brick pavement. Both
Chinn and Lillard stuck to their friend,
neither of them moving from his side
until the firing ceased.
Arrested One Man.
Within three minutes after the shoot
ing, line of men was thrown around
the building from which the shots were
fired, with the intention of preventing
the escape Of anybody from the struc-
ture. John w. Miles, an aged citizen
of Frankfort, was standing at the foot
Of the stairway leading from the first
floor of the office building to the west,
when a man, evidently a mountaineer,
came rushing down the steps. Miles
instantly threw his arms. around the
man, and held him, calling loudly for
help. It was close at hand, and no es-
cape was possible for the prisoner, even
had he attempted to make the effort.
Men stood around him on every side
with drawn revolyers in their hands,
and the slightest attempt at resistance
would have resulted in his instant
death. He submitted to arrest very
quietly, claiming again and again that
he had nothing to do with the shooting.
He gave his name as Harland Whitaker
and said that he was in the state Office
building when he heard the shots, and
believing the long predicted battle in
the streets iii; Frankfort had come at
last, hastened out to see what was going
ON. He was searched at once and three
large reyolvers, all fully loaded, were
taken from him. None Of the cartridges
had been exploded and there was no
Ggn Of any Of the weapons having been
in use.
Maintained His Innocence.
He was hurried to the Jail, three
blocks away with al possible speed, for
it was feared ali attempt might be made
