LANDC 9STAKEN BACK
To Kansas BY Sheriff Mende nhall.

10 hdhSdS by SOctlIi meOueHndlI.
George r. Landers, the man who
caused such speculation in Ell Paso
when arrested for tbeft under the
name of Brennan, was taken to Kan
Mendenhall of that city who had the
necessary papers from the governor.
Saturday Landers was adjude ed
insane, lad 1t was held by his attorneys,
Messrs. Bridgers and Wilcox, that
after the finding o; the court be could
not be taken to Kansas unit, after
having been pronounced cured by the
insane asylum to which he would be
sent.
An Interesting question was raised
as to whesher Lenders would be SUBJ
ject to the papers possessed by the
Kansas authorities in the event that he
was found to be of unsound mind.
Sheriff Boone settled the matter by
deciding that he had to obey the re-
quisition OF the governor as supersed-
ing that of the county court. Landers
was accordingly surrendered.
Mr. Mendenhall stated that there are
several charges against Landers o,her
than the one which he had preferred
against him. He believed that evidence
could be produced showing that Lam
ders had concealed more than e75 900
worth of property. Attorney Wilcox
however declares that Landers is des-
titute.

| ROBERTS PROCLAMATION.
Says He viii Hold The $4,000
Boer Prisoners As Hostages.
CAN BE BUT ONE ENDING.

London, Sept. 17.-Lord Roberts in
forms the war Office of his issuing the
following proclamation:
''The late President Kruger, with
Reitz and the archives of the South
Afridan republic has crossed the Por-
tugese frontier and arrived at Lourenzo
Marques with the view of sailing for
Europe at an early date. Kruger for
mally resigned the position which he
held as president of the South African
republic, thus severing his official con-
nection with the Transvaal. Kruger7s
action shows how hopeless in his opin-
ion is the war which has now been
carried on for nearly a year and his
desertion of the Boer cause should
make clear to his fellow burghers that
it to useless to continue the struggle
any longer.
st is probably unknown to the in
habitants of the Transvaal and the
Orange River Colony that nearly Is, 900
of their fellow subjects are now pris-
oners of war, not one of whom will be
released until those now under arms
against us surrender Internationally.
1.-THE burghers must be cognizant of
the fact that no intervention in their
behalf can come from any of the great
powers, and, further, that the British
empire is determined to complete the
work which has already cost so many
lives and carry to a conclusion the war
declared against her by the late gov
ernments of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, war to which
there can be but one ending"

Money the Greatest Need.

Galveston, Sept. 1S.-Adjutant Sour
ry emphasizes the need of money in his
work of clearing up the city. He says
he has no money to pay the men who
are doing the work, and to assist those
who are lacking everything. He says
of the latter: ''Of all the poor people
here not one has anything. A major
ity of them could not furnish single
room in which to commence house
keeping, even though they had the
money to rebuild the room. These
people have absolutely nothing except
what is given to them by the relief
committee. They are in condition of
absolute want, they lack everything
and save for the splendid generosity of
the nation they would be utterly with
out hope"

Port Arthur, its rival further to the

Washington, Sept. 15.-Earnest eff
forts are being made to arrange the
preliminaries for the negotiations
which are expected to settle the Chi
nese troubles. Ii Hung Changes last
message removed perhaps the last OBJ
stacle to the speedy beginning of these
negotiations and the only doubt that

If he can thus manifest the existence

Washington, Sept. 1s.-The tribal

carried into effect at once. Mr.. Hitch
cock, secretary Of the interior, has sent
out definite instructions to the United
States Indian inspector for the Indian
Territory to this effect. 1t makes
known the course of the government
in the clearest language possible. 1t
informs the government officials that
all persons carrying on business in
the territory or feeding cattle within
its boundaries, must pay the tribal tax
in every particular within a
period of ten days after the formal
notice is given of the departments
determination in the matter, or failure
to do SO will result in the eviction of
such persons from the territory and
the closing Of their places of business.
The department has decided to take
no middle ground in the matter but
the terms of the secretary's letter will
be carried out with all the power and
authority of the United States govern
ment. This action was direct result
of the decision Of Mr.. Griggs, attorney
general of the United States, advising
such course and declaring it to be the
legal and proper one.
