WEBSTER DAVIS RESIGNS.
Assistant Secretary of the interior waat,
to Help the Boefs.


to Help the Boers.
Washington, ID. c., April 2.-Mr. Da-
Wis formal resignation was sent to the
White House tonight through his pri-
yate secretary. At the White House
no statement was obtainable concern
ing the resignation other than the fact
that it had been received and the off,
cials declined to say whether it would
be accepted.
Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior, to-day rendered his res
ignation.
He will go on the lecture platform
in the interest of the Beers.
In an authorized statement given out
to-day Mr.. Davis says that as result
of his visit to the Transvaal he feels
impelled to tender his resignation as
assistant secretary Of the interior. He
will at an early date deliver lecture
in this city in the interests of the
South African republics.
Mr., Davis feels that this Is the best
way to arouse the enthusiasm of the
American people in behalf of those re-
publics.
Mr.. Davis decided to resign because
of the acceptance of an invitation to
deliver n lecture on the South African
war, and he could not express his
views with such freedom as a private
citizen. The invitation was extended
by non-partisan citizens of Washing
ton, and was not inspired in any way
by persons directly connected with
Boer interests.

Nine Million Brick Combine.

Chicago, April "A corporation en-
bracing majority of the brick man
ufacturers of Cook county has been
formed. The new concern has cap
ital of S9,00O,0O0 and will practically
control the brick market of Chicago
and the neighboring cities. Thirty.six
firms, including all of the large and
important brick yards of Chicago,
have been combined in the deal under
the name of the Illinois Brick Com
pany.
All the individual offices of the thir-
ty-siN firms will be abolished and op-
Grating expenses will be further cut
by keeping n number of the present
yards closed for a time, until the de-
mand for the product requires their
operation.

England Dislike. the Award

London. April p As a nation and
as individuals Great Britain is wroth
over the Delagoa bay railway award.
The average opinion is that this is
merely the latest instance where the
country has got the worst end by
trusting to arbitration. All the high
flown prophecies that an Anglo
German secret African agreement
would become operative through the
decision have fallen fiat, because the
damages against Portugal are so small
that she is amply able TO pay them
herself, without giving either party
TO the secret agreement the opportuni-
ty of bidding for Delagoa bay.

BRITISH ENTRAPPED.
A Detachment Captured With six Guns
Near Bioemfontein.

Near BIoemfontein-
London, April 2.-The extraordinary
run of success which had hitherto at
tended Lord Roberts operations was
broken on Saturday, when a part of
the British force operating east of
Bloemfontein walked blindly into a
Boer ambush and was captured, with
six guns.
Colonel Broadwood, in command of
the Tenth Hussars, the Household cav
airy, two horse batteries and the
mounted infantry under Colonel Pit
cher, was in garrison on Friday at
Thaba Nchu, which is about half way
between the Free State capital and the
border of Basutoland. The British
commander was threatened by the
near approach of large Boer force,
and finding his position untenable,
marched that night to the Bloemfon-
tein water works, lying south of the
Modder river, where he encamped.
This position appears to be on the road
to Bloemfontein and about fifteen
miles from that town.
Early Saturday morning the British
camp was shelled from the rear. Colo
mel Broadwood thereupon sent off
convoy with his batteries, while the
rest Of his force remained behind to
act as rear guard.
The road here crosses deep spruit,
In which the Beers had concealed
themselves.
According TO one account the British
loss was not great, as most Of the con-
yoy We're in the trap before shot was
fired.
Lord Roberts seems to have heard of
Colonel Broadwood's plight very
quickly and he sent General Colyille's
division at once to his rescue. Latest
reports say that Colvllle arrived on the
scene Saturday noon and began she'll
ing the Beers, so that there is some
hope that the guns and wagons will be
recovered.

the city with an invitation to citizens
to join monster procession of nation

the demonstration will be forbidden.

Undaunted by the verdict of other
communities as to the immortality of
Alphonse Daudet's "Sapho" in its
dramatic form, the citizens of one
western town evidently adhere to the
theory that seeing is believing. The

police Judge. the mayor and divers
members OF the W. C. T. U. occupied
front seats at n "Sapho' performance
in the strict line of duty. of course.
This method Of censOrizing alleged i'm
moral plays may be destined to become
extremely popular. 1t smacks a good
deal OF the Parkhurst method OF pay
ing midnight visits to the Bowery
hootchy-kootchy establishments in
the interest of purity. In other words.
1t gives pious people a chance to sam
pie forbidden fruit under the pretext
Of caring for public morals. and that is
a temptation difficult to resist.

The National Bank of Commerce Of
st Louis, the largest not only in that
city. but in the whole southwest, has
set aside one hundred thousand dollars
toward n permanent pension fund for
Its employees. and has also announced
that henceforth they will share in the
profits of the institution. The fact
would be worth mentioning merely as
piece of financial news. but 1t is still
more significant on account of the rea-
sons which the board of directors give
for their action. I'VE do not look upon
1t as gift" they say. but as a right
accruing from faithful service. which
we believe will be better and more eff
cient in every way when each employe
has such stimulus before him" The
directors are undoubtedly right. Their
action is only another Illustration of
the growing tendency of employers to
recognize their responsibility to their
employees, and an increasing desire on
their part to reward faithful service
and provide for honorable old age. Sue

While the Emperor OF Russia has
been seeking with noble ambition to
reform the warlike habits of European
nations through the reduction of mill
tary and naval outlay, the empress
has also been at work in another field
OF operations, She has been setting
the example of simplicity and economy
in dress at luxurious court. The en-
peror as man of peace found himself
surrounded with soldiers who were
guarding the approaches to the palace,
He disliked military reviews, and re-
duced the number OF battalions en-
ployed for the purpose of protecting
him. 1t was practical method of
letting his subjects know how that he
took little pleasure in the pomp and
glory of military power. The empress.
as the daughter OF the late Grand
Duke of Hesse. had been brought up
in quiet German court. where there
were few great functions and where
princesses We're accustomed to dress,
plainly. She became the central figure
OF the court OF st. Petersburg, where
there were magnificent ceremonials,
and the great ladies were arrayed in
the costliest Partisan costumes. She
has astonished them by the quietness
and plainnesj OF her own gowns on
stately occasions, and by her lack of
interest in the luxurious pleasures OF
a rich and powerful court.

The curious grammatical error-al-
most incoherency-of the famous Mon
roe Doctrine has often been comment
ed upon. Something near parallel to
1t appears In the recently negotiated
treaty between this country and Great
Britain for the construction and con-
troll Of the Tsthmlan canal. The text
OF that treaty provides that ratifica-
tlons Of 1t shall be exchanged within
six months OF the date hereof.or earlier
II possible." And the treaty was writ
ten and carefully revised and re-re-
yised by one OF the most accomplished
literary men Of the age. 1t is perhaps
because the slip is so obvious that it

Pittsburg, Pa, April 3.-From 1900
to 1000 coal miners in the Pittsburg
district and 1900 in the Irwin district
are ON a strike today. All the river
mines were forced to close down and
many of the railroad mines are idle.
In the Irwin mines the men want an
advance of cents per ton. The prin-
cipal trouble in the Pittsburg district
is over the run Of mine rate and the
pay for drivers. The drivers are not
satished with the advance of five per
cent. granted under the Indianapolis
agreement and are asking an advance
equal to twenty per cent.

The traction companies of Chicago

that the paper is not being operated
for the purpose Of direct revenue. Then
what can be the purpose of its own

aided nowadays by newspaper support.
No wonder that the numbers Of those

A AiHANDSOME CHURCH.
Methodist Church Handsomely
Renovated--Artist J.P. Mitch
ell Does the Work.

The interior decoration of the Metho-
dist church, which was begun some time
ago is about completed and when ser
vices are resumed the congregation will
find that they have one Of the neatest
and most pleasant houses of worship in
the sity.
Ths walls have all been repapered and
tho woodwork given two coats Of paint
All the woodwork, which has been
changed from dingy brown to clear
white. has been striped in gold and con-
tributes to the whole work greatly.
The side walls are dark blue ingram,
which, as is known, is solid color, with
out figures, and lends the appearance to
the walls of being kalsomined. The
ceiling is covered with a very beautiful
design of paper, figured, with the center
piece of solid color. The floor is be-
ing painted light color OF stain.
With the work which has been done
in a strictly up-to date manner, the
house Of worship has been greatly i'm
proved. The artist of the work is John
P. Mitchell, art decorator and painter.
Mr.. Mitchell, although bearing the rep.
utation of doing most excellent work,
has done little better in the perform
ance OF this work than anything he has
done lately and it stands as q recommen-
dation of the character Of work which he
always does.
When the pews are placed in position,
to replace the old break-back affairs
with which the church was formerly
seated, the Methodist congregation may
we'll feel proud of the building in which
they assemble to worship and Mr.. Mitch
oil San feel proud OF the work accomp-
lished by him.

CATTLEMAN MURDERED.
Chris Arney Murdered on Big
Dolores, by Ed Franklin
Both We're CattIemen.

Word was brought to this city this
morning by Ed Gordon, ranchman liv-
ing near the Big Dolores that yesterday
afternoon murder had been committed
at the mouth of West creek on the Big
Dolores, about sixty miles from this
city.
The particulars as far as obtainable
were given to the man who brought the
news to this city, by Ed Franklin who
did the killing and are as follows:
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
franklin who had been working with
Chris Arney, the man who was killed,
went to the home of the latter and de-
manded his outfit. This Arney refused
to give up for some reason or another
and high words occurred between the
men.
Franklin who was after his goods says
that he was threatened and that in his
own defense he was compelled 10 get the
drop On Arney and kill him, which he
did.
Arney was shot just abeve the right
eye and the whole top of his head was
blown OF.
When Franklin left the cabin Of Arney
he went to the place OF a man named
Laker and told him what he had done
and then went to the homo of Ed Cor
don and related to him his story. Cor
don at once went to Arney's cabin and
found him stretched out on the floor,
dead. In his hand he held Winches-
ter rife and revolver was lying few
feet away.
Gordon at once started for this city,
arriving this morning and giving the in
formation into the Office Of the district
attorney.
Sheriff Wallis was informed and he
commissioned Gordon to go the place OF
the killing and bring home the body.
Tho spot where the killing took place is
almost inaccessible for wagons and il
hard road to travel, 80, a. Gordon is IA
miliar with the country, it was thought
best to send him.
Franklin, after giving the information
left the country. az far as is known.
The COW boys are not connected with
any of the big cattle men or cattle cor
porations in that country but were con-
ducting small outfit themselves.
Sheriff Wallis knows Franklin but
he did not know the man that was
killed.
As there was no ono present 1T the
killing, Arney being an unmarried man
and residing alone, all that is known OF
the details OF killing are what has
been told by Franklin himself.
At Arst it looks like self defense, but
this il net certain. There may have
been feud existing between the two
mon and they took the shot gun method
OF settling same.
The body will be brought to this city
where it il probable that an inquest will
be held.

to Denver to meet mining men and ar
range for the inspection Of gold properti-
es in the state with the view to pui chas-
ing the same for an Anglo American syn
dicate consisting of Weiner, Bolt & Co.

derstood that arrangements have been
made for the purchase OF a group OF
properties contingent upon Mr.. Hamm-
ond's approval, the price agreed upon
being in the vicinity Of 100000. 1t il
also understood that Mr.. Hammond will
look over mines not included in the afore
purchase by the same parties. He will
spend flew days in this city visiting.
John Hays Hammond about four
months ago visited all the leading min
fng camps OF Colorado and Utah and in
specting many famous mines. including
the Camp Bird, owned by Thomas Walsh
at Ouray, and the Portland at Cripple
Creek. The sum named would not buy
the Portland Whether or not it would
buy the Camp Bird only Mr.. Walsh can
say, though it has been denied that
the property would be sold to the Ham
mond syndicate.
