BoURKE CoCKRAN's SPEECH.
cit Isn't An Alliance; It's surren
der To ENGLAND >, Ee Saws

ct Isn't An Alliance; It's a Surren-
der to England" He Says.
At the recent pro-Boer meeting in
New York, W. Bourke Cochran deliv-
cred the following speech:
Recent events in a distant part OF
the world seem to show that Provi-
denceis moving in a mysterious way
TO bring about its just ends. 1t is the
duty OF every Irishman, of every
American, of every upholder of justice
and civilization to condemn the igno-
bic course Of England in this war
cloud cheers.) This war has damaged
Emgland's prestige as a military power
very greatly, as a moral power ire
trievably. 1t is the greatest war upon
and against civilization in the last 400
years.
yet they tell US that the Beers must
be defeated in the interests OF civiliza-
ton; that they are an unciVilized race.
Why is this said Of them? Is it because
they carry on an effective government
at the lowest rate Of taxation known ?
Is it because in their country educa-
ton is universal, drunkenness is un-
known, divorce doesn't exist, and every
man lives with his own wife? / can
understand a country owning smart
set thinking that nation uncivilized
which doesn't support a divorce court
I would not deny to that set the right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
smartness; but [ would have them see
that though the Beers have not even
ing dress, they have evening prayers,
and though they fear God the fear of
man is not in them. (Cheers).

the United States will take any action
or join in any representations to the
Boer government on the subject. If
Germany wishes to prevent the city
from being RACED to the ground. it is
said, she should herself make represen-
tations to the belligerents. The inter
ests of the United States in Johannes
burg are comparatively small, while
Germany is largely interested in the
mines there.
while 1 cannot speak for the presi-
dent on the subject, said an official at
Washington last night, 81 think it is
pretty safe to assume that this govern
ment will not interfere. Representa-
tons to the Beers and the British
would be a form of intervention and
am sure the administration does not
care to do anything that would have
the appearance of intervention.
From humanitarian point of view
it might be good thing to try to save
the city, but representations made to
the belligerents might meet with re-
fusal to comply with the wishes ex-
pressed. If Johannesburg comes within
the theatre of war, foreign property
there will have to be exposed to the
same danger as the property of citizens
of the Boer republic, and if it is dam
aged l do not see that any redress can
be obtained. 1t is principle of inter
national law that a sovereign is not or
dina1ily responsible to alien residents
for injuries they receive on his terri
tory from belEgerent action"
In view of Germany's inquiries on the
subject it is thought not unlikely that
she will make an effort herself, if she
is unable TO induce other powers to join
with her, to have the belligerents to
agree to protect foreign property in 10
hannesburg at least.

KRUGER SAYS BOERS
WILL CONQUER Or DIE

New York, March 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Pretoria, dated Feb. 10,
says: Your correspondent has just had
an interview with President Kruger. He
shows but little evidence in his counte-
nance of the tremendous strain he is
undergoing.
This war was forced upon us by
England, which has been misled by Ce-
Gil Rhodes and the millionaires who
want the country" he said. 1.-The Beers
yielded as far as possible, until they
saw that nothing but complete surren-
der of their independence would satisfy
England.
Having been forced into the war, the
Beers viii conquer or die. L expect no
aid from other nations. but we are glad
Of sympathy and friendship. The
Transvaal is willing to make peace at
any time, but we want no more con-
ventions. Only absolute independence
is possible. We do not want more ter
ritory, but are content with our present
frontier if we are permitted to live
peacefully. This is all we ask.
THE Transvaal will stipulate in the
peace terms that Natal and Cape Col
ony Dutch now fighting with the Beers
shall be regarded as belligerents and
that some of these men had been cap
tured and were being tried at Cape
Town, charged with treason. This gov
eminent cabled to Lord Salisbury, stat
ing that If such men were treated as
prisoners of war we would make re-
prisals on the British prisoners held
here. Lord Salisbury replied, lodging
the real point, and threatening if we in
jured a single British prisoner to hold
me personally responsible. I suppose
he meant the British would hang me.
Such threats are contemplate, and can
not prevent me from performing my
duty to my country. The Transvaal
government replied today, informing
Lord Salisbury that they despise his
threats.
''There is no truth in the story,of a
among the South African
Dutch. This is not their quarrel. The
Orange Free State is bound by treaty
to aid us. Mr.. Schreiner repeatedly
urged us to yield.
ut is too early to prophesy the out
come of the war or its duration. The
Beers are in Gods hands, and he viii
not let us perish Our total fighting
strength is but 10000, but with Gods
aid we can prevail. l have 500 blood
relatives fighting, and would rather see
them all perish than yield to England,s
unholy aggression. It is liberty or
death. 1 have protected British prop

Cars Message is Said to Be Aimed
at Great Britain.

Berlin, March 2O.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Lokal AnZeiger
telegraphs that the minister for foreign
affairs has prepared an official com
nnunique, which will be published with
in the next day or two. 1t contains
Russia's answer to President Kruger 8
request for intervention.
The communique has been drawn up

France and Germany, and has received
the full approval of the car.
AS regards it's contents, all that the

that the note is directed, with due pre-

is very serious and will certainly not
fail TO make a deep impression.

New York, March 2O.-Much concern
is. being shown by the German gov
eminent in the threat made by Mon
tagu White that the Beers will destroy
Johannesburg to prevent it being made

against Pretoria. The Berlin authori-
ties will strongly oppose such action be-
cause of the damage which will be done

more favorable ground. Even when we
had good ground we worked II In a very
careless manner, and left large percent.
age Of values. What we left then would
today prove profitable ground II worked
with up.to.date ideas and modern ma.
ehinery.
"The conglomerate, or 'webfoot' bed.
rock Is, no doubt, false bedrock, and the
probabilities are that the diamond drill will
yet disclose ever richer ground beneath
than we found above. There Is no ques.
ton In my mind that the volcanic over.

less deeply. In other parts Of the country,
and notably California, they are cutting
through hundreds Of feet Of lava and find.
ing pay channels that are sometimes won.
derful In richness. The same conditions,
no doubt, exist here.
again, In early days we left thousands
Of acres Of ground because It was too flat
or too deep. Much Of this would today
give handsome returns on dredging. Our
quartz veins are large, and most Of them
carry free gold. The formation being
soft, there has been a wonderful denuda.
ton or wearing away Of the surface, re.
sultng In the deposit of large quantities
Of the precious metal in the creek and
gulch bottoms. This accounts for the ex.
tensive scope Of our placer diggings.
"Go where you please, In any part Of
this section, and you will find large de.
posits Of auriferous gravel This you will
find even on top Of the highest mountains,
and IN most places It carries considerable
gold. Except In few instances these
gravel deposits are as yet but little ex-
plotted.
"Quartz mining Is the most important
industry In this section just now, but the
time Is not far distant, In my mind, when
placer mining In this section will be car.

II was 90 years ago. Modern mining
methods will yet take millions Of dollars

Millions Have Been and viii Be Taken
Out In This District.

e.. r. Barnhart Is the name OF 4 pioneer
prospector and miner Of the Granite dis.
uict, who believes that there Is still un.
told wealth in the creek bottoms OF this
section. "Don't overlook the placers" Is
his injunction 10 mining men.
In speaking OF the possibilities Of the
creek bottoms OF this camp the other day,
Mr.. Barnhart said:
"WhIe the quartz Of this district Is now
occupying the attention OF mining men,
we should not overlook the possibilities Of
the rich placers that yet lie untouched.
We worked miles and miles Of creek bot.
tom In early days and obtained wonderful
results. The exact amount Of gold taken
out Of this section with primitive methods
Of operating cannot be approximated, but
no doubt Il ran into the millions. In many
places we worked only the most favorable
patches, for whenever we found the
ground too deep OF the boulders too large.

FIGHT FOR TERRITORY
Columbia Southern Seems to
Have Inside Track.

The work Of blocking out railroad ter.
ritory In central Oregon goes merrily on.
II would seem that the Columbia South.
ern holds the winning hand, as II has
filed articles Of incorporation and rur pre-.
liminary surveys from Prineville east to
Canyon City and from Prineville south
TO Lakeview, while on the other hand,
the rival party Of surveyors, supposed to
be working In the interest Of a tanscon.
tinental line, have scarcely made any
headway. The latter party Is somewhere
in the vicinity Of Warm Springs ieserva.
ton.
In the minds Of those who closely fol.
low railroad matters, there seems reason
10 believe the Columbia Southern, which
will be known as the pioneer road Of cen.
tral Oregon, has recently made new de.
parture. Its policy heretofore has been to
extend its line few mines each year. II
started south from Biggs on very little
capital, and by turning its earnings into
construction work, has succeeded In reach.
ing Shaniko, very near the heart Of Ore
gon. During the last month, however,
the road has departed from It's conserva.
tive policy, and at one fell swoop scooped
In the whole Of central Oregon. II has
been alive to the advantages Of this large
Inland Empire for some time, and II looks
as II Il has made others interested In the
matter. The "othrrs, I" II seems, have nd.
vaneed the necessary cash and told the
company to "go ahead and make things
hum"
II appears that the company has been
working to get the Inside track" In the
new Inland Empire, and that It's plans
were precipitated by the arrival on the
scene OF rival party OF surveyors.
BY getting into Prineville and filing It's
articles OF incorporation the Columbia
Southern has captured the base Of sup.
plies for central Oregon. That is the
s,ragetic point, and, In fact, the key that
unlotks the trade OF central oregon. An
opposition line could not hope to do bust.
ness with the Inland Empire unless II were
In on the ground floor at Prineville.
However, because the company has filed
articles Of incorporation and run prelimi.
nary surveys, II does not follow that the
roads are to be built right away.
a large number Of the stockmen Of the
interior are bitterly opposed TO railroad
building across their grazing area, and
will oppose all Entertainments, but the
business for a railroad Is there and this
prejudice may possibly be overcome SO
that work will not be delayed too long
