BOER FORCE FADING
Collapse of the Boer Military Organ.
ization In South Africa Is Near
At Hand.
President Kruger Said To Be Waiver
ing, But Fears the Island of
st. Helena.
Doubted If President Kruger Can Raise
Force Equal to $1,000 Men,
All Told.

London, May 30-The Standard has
the following advices from Pretoria,
under Mondays date:
The Transvaal government has
opened, or is about to ooen, peace ne
gotiations. 1t has cabled final inquiry
to it's agents abroad asking whether
any hope exists of aid.
Without doubt the presence of Lord
Roberts with 10000 men at Johannes
burg will hasten the rransvaal deci-
sion.
Dispatches from Lourenzo Marques
yesterday, described President Krug-
er "as wavering, but demanding a
guarantee that he shall not be exiled
to Helena" The fighting burghers
still continue to desert, and the total
collapse of the Boer military organiza-
tion is not far off.
Bennett Burleigh, writing from Lord
Roberts headquarters at Veneering
on Sunday says:
Il doubt il President Kruger can
muster $4,000 men, as many of the
burghers have gone to their homes

HORSE SHIPMENTS.

St. Paul, May 3O.-The rate on horses
in carload lots, in thirty-six foot cars,
has been reduced by the Northern Pa
cific from points in Washington and
Oregon, east of the Cascade mountains,
to $171.50. This rate is to St. Paul.
There is a reason for the reduction of
this rate beyond the mere desire to Sc
cure traffic. On the western ranges
in the states named the wild horse is
eating up all the forage required for
cattle and sheep, which are now being
driven in.
The cattle and sheep industry of
Washington and Oregon is rapidly de-
veloped, and it is considered waste
to allow the horses to eat up all the
fodder. The movement of horses to
the eastern market has been greatly
stimulated lately owing to the low
price at which good horses are being
sold. This movement is largely due
to the efforts Of the Northern Pacific
to rid the west of these countless
thousands of prairie horses.

END OF THE WORLD
That's What the Colored People of
Norfolk Thought Was at Hand
During the Eclipse.
The President and Party View the
Eclipse Under Favorable Conditions
at Old Point Comfort.
Lamps Are Lighted and Fire Works,
Whistles and Bells Add to the In
terest in the Event,

Norfolk, Va, May 2S.-The condi-
tions for viewing the total eclipse of
the sun were perfect. President Nc
Kinley and party were interested
spectators. The totality came with
great suddenness and many spectators
were noticeably alarmed. A few wo-
men tainted and the negroes became
frantic. Many believed the world was
coming to an end. They got down on
their knees and some buried their
faces in the sand. Others rushed up
and down the streets in frantic man
ner with outstretched arms. The
planet Mercury was plainly visible but
Venus was not so clear. Jupiter was
not visible. The corona was the CEN
ter of attraction. 1t was so dark it
was necessary to light lamps. The
steam whistles screamed and bells
were rung.
Atlanta, Ca, May 2S-At 7:4O this
city was enveloped in deep twilight.
The observation of the eclipse was a
complete success. Thousands of peo-
pie crowded around the station and a
large volunteer protection corps was
necessary to prevent trouble and acci-
dents.

'oAlLBOAI CAPSlZES ON SPIRIT
WOOD LAKE, AND A NEARLY
FATAL ACCIDENT RESULTS.
jamestown, May 29.-The sail boat
at the lake suddenly capsized yester-
day when occupied by a party of eight
but owing to the presence of mind of
the gentlemen of the party what might
have been a horrible accident was
averted. Harry Flint, Louis Me
meyer, Mrs. Loomis and two children
were among those in the party. The
boat was in the middle of the lake
when quick as a flash it went over in
strong gust with some of the occu-
pants under the big sail. Mrs. Loomis
and the children were rescued and
placed with firm hold on the boat and
fishing boats near by took off Mrs.
Loomis and the others afterward. It
was very narrow escape for all and
great: credit is due the gentlemen of
the party. Fortunately there has
never been fatal accident on the
lake.

SENATOR McCUMBER CONFERS
WITH MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE
REGARDING HIS ORIENT TRADE
BILL.
Washington, May Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota was in con-
ference with members of the house to-
day concerning the bill to send COM
mercial commissions to China and
Japan. Consideration of the bill was
recently prevented by the objection of
southern member. Efforts will
again be made to get the bill before
the house. It's friends consider it of
the greatest Importance that the
United States should send commits
sions to the Orient in view of the
splendid markets offered in that paxt
of the world to American products,
The bill has passed the senate, but it
seems to meet objections of some of
the southern members in the house.
1T is strange to find southern oppo-
sition to the bill" said Senator Nc
Cumber. '"rhe cotton industries of
the south would be benefited by the
work of the commission even more so
than the wheat industry of the north
ern states. l am sure the work of
such a commission would be of much
benefit to the industries of the whole
country, and l am informed that an
other effort will be made to get the
bill through the house."

FOR WASHBURN.
MINNESOTA MAN SAID TO HAVE
AN EVEN CHANCE FOR VICE

MINNESOTA MAN SAID TO HAVE
AN EVEN CHANCE FOR VICE
PRESIDENCY.
Minneapolis, May 3O.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent wires:
]. H. Manley, national committee
man from Maine, said yesterday that
the republican nomination for vice
president was between Secretary of
the Navy John D. Long and ex-Sen-
ator w. D. Washburn of Minneapolis.
There is quite sentiment develop
irg for Washburn, and even some of
the Minnesota delegates who have
heretofore been rather Indifferent, may
awake to the fact that there is an ex-
cellent prospect for Minnesota to score
for second place at Philadelphia.
While Secretary Long mas consider
able support, it is said Massachusetts
is not strongly and enthusiastically
for him.
Senator Lodge has his eye on the
presidency for 1900, and it has been
said Senator Davis friends have also
determined to put him forward for the
presidency four years hence.
1t is these rather peculiar conditions
in Massachusetts and Minnesota that
give color to the boom for Dolliver,
Iowa. who happens to get portion of
each delegation right at the outset.
Congressman Fletcher commenced
to do some active work for Washburn
yesterday. He conferred with Man
ley and afterwards had long talk with
Senator Nelson.
1t is said friends of the latter in
Minnesota are requiring him to sup
port Washington strongly.

BISHOP EDsALL.
OP MAKES A PATRIOTIC AD-
DRESS AT JAMESTOWN.

NORTH DAKOTA EPISCOPAL BISH-
OP MAKES A PATRIOTIC AD-
DRESS AT JAMESTOWN.
jamestown, May 5O.-Bishop Edsall
delivered patriotic address at the
Episcopal church here. The bishop
said that, being Memorial Sunday, all
should evidence patriotic spirit, that
it was duty which we all owe to those
who defended our country. While our
first thoughts would be of the veterans
of the late war with Spain we should
also recall those who had participated
in the struggle of '61-G5. There is
every reason, the speaker thought, that
the soldiers who had endured such
hardships for the sake of their country,
should not be forgotten. 1t is because
of the patriotism of their fathers in
1861 that the boys of 1898 were so
eager to enlist for the purpose of de-
Tending their country.
Bishop Edsall expressed the opinion
that it was the solemn duty of all citi-
zens to conserve every right of liberty
and by doing so to have this remain
the grand free country that it is. We
look<on the material side of things too
much and do not think of the necessity
of guarding our form of government.
Anyone who accepts a position in Cuba
or Puerto Rico, who forgets his duty to
his country at this time and becomes
a boodler is guilty of treason and
should be treated as a traitor. The
many heroes who have helped TO make
this land free fought not because of the
salary they received but because of
their love of country.
The United States has glorious
record. In fighting the cause has
always been a righteous one. The
United States has always been for lib
cray and equality. It is our duty to
so live that we shall be worthy of the
heroes we honor.
Bishop EdsalPs sermon was inter-
esting throughout and was appropri-
ate to the occasion.

MCCOY GOT DECISION
IN THE MCOY-RYAN FIGHT, AND
THE REFEREE GOT A BIFF IN
nIIE A1ncE

in THE MCOY-RYAN FIGHT, AND
THE REFEREE GOT A B1FF IN
THE NOSE.
Chicago, May 3O.-Kid Mccoy was
given a decision over Syracuse Tommy
Ryan last night at the end of the pref
tiest six round fight ever seen here,
but over the decision and what Ref
cree Malachy Hogan said, a free for all
fight resulted and hut for the presence
of large force of police who hustled
the men out of the ring, and cleared
the hall in a hurry it is probable that
the McCoy-Ryan fight would not have
been the most interesting thing on the
evenings program. One clause of the
agreement was that draw should be
declared were both men on their feet
at the end of the sixth round.
Referee Hogan said after the con-
test that he had no such understand
ing and rendered the decision as he
thought just. AS the bell rang at the
end of the sixth round Ryan bleeding
from ear and nose from the Kids
fierce jabs, but comparatively fresh,
started toward his corner.
mccoy wins,' shouted Referee Ho-
gan.
In an instant the hall was pandemo-
MUM.
What do you mean," said Ryan, in
amazement.
Hogan said nothing but climbed
through the ropes.
'You robber, shouted Ryan.
Hogan turned round and just as he
did so Ryan swung his left to Hogan's
face. Quick as a flash Hogan return
ed the compliment with a blow on
Tommy's nose. But before they could
go further the police were between
them.
The Tattersals management admit
ted after the fight tnat the agreement
was correct, but said Hogan's decision
would stand. So far as the fight was
concerned, Mccoy in tie opinion of
large majority, had a long shade the
better of it. Ryan carried the fight
to his man continually, but the elusive
Kid was generally out of the way and
his lightning jabs had Tom bleeding
slightly early in the fight. Ryan
shook the Kid up badly, however,
number of times with right and left
hooks on the stomach and jaw, and
was apparently fully as fresh as his
unmarked opponent at the finish.

SCALAWAG "JOHNSON.n

FARGO WIFE DESERTER A CON-
SCIENCELESS RASCAL, WHO
WILL BE SOME TIME BROUGHT
BACK TO TRIAL.
Fargo, May 3O.-Yesterday after
noon Sheriff Rush arrived from Mer-
rill, Wis, and took charge Of E. G.
Johnson, alias Greenue, Alderman or
Lindblom, and left over the Milwaukee
for the little Wisconsin town, where
a patient wife and sweet faced child
await the coming of the recreant hus-
band and unnatural father. AS the
train left with the wife-deserter of the
numerous names, there were those
among the crowd who watched him
go, that mounrned his departure.
These were the victims of the willy
Establishments of the practiced de-
ceiver. Utterly without principle, as
he is shown to be, he possessed that
winning manner and subtle magnetism
which attracted the fair sex and made
them obedient to his will, as at least
three young ladies in Fargo can tes-
tify.
Durin.: his confinement in the Cass
county jail his air admirers did not
desert him, and proving the old pro-
verb that Love laughs at locksmiths," !"
they overstepped the grim barriers of
locks, bars and propriety and visited
him in his cell.
There is one, however, whose
wrongs are of deeper, more enduring
sort, who did not seek him within the
prison walls, perhaps for the reason
that she is out of town.
Among the papers found upon the
prisoner after his arrest, and which
have been filed away for future use,
are documents of startling and grue-
some import.
There were letters from infatuated
and love lorn damsels, who told of
their undying affection on rose tinted
paper, yet the bits of stationery which
told the story of crime against heav-
en- and the laws of the country, were
receipts for money, paid to a we'll
known physician by a local detective,
who acted as agent for the smooth oily
Johnson.
An abortion had been performed,
and the willy perpetrator of the wrong
had paid for the medical service rem
dered one of his victims, through the
agency of a bogus detective. These
damaging bits of evidence have been
carefully preserved and when the law
OF Wisconsin has been satisfied it is
said that the suave and shifty Johnson
will be brought back to answer to a
graver charge.
1t is safe to predict that those impli-
Gated in the crime will be called upon
to bear their burden of the blame.
