EVERY HOUSE IN THE PLACE LOOTED
DISPATCHES from General Butler Tell
ing OF His Recent Successful OPP
erations Against the Enemy.

London, May 15.-General Roberts
has an army OF 100000 men for guard
ing his communications and operating
on a front virtually 200 miles wide,
from Fourteen Streams to Biggars-
burg. Against this army the Beers
have 10000 burghers in the Transvaal
and Natal, and President Steyn has.
perhaps, 5000 burghers under arms in
the Bethlehem district. The Dutch
have fought bravely and made Won
derful defense, but the day Of miracles
has passed. There was sharp Skin
mishing on Friday on the road to
Kroonstad, and Gordon's cavalry bri-
gade acted with gallantry in the final
onset. The town was formally sur
rendered by the Landrost after the
Transvaal burghers had removed the
bulk Of their own stores, blown up
bridge, wrecked the railway station
and done other damage.

TOWERMAN WAS ASLEEP.
His Nap Cost the Lives of Two Train Men
and Five Tramps.

Philadelphia, May 14-Through the
negligence Of a toWerman who lay
asleep at his post a disastrous and ia
tai freight train wreck occurred here
Friday midnight in a tunnel on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. An en-
gineer and fireman were killed and
five unknown tramps are supposed to
be dead in the wreck. The property
loss is estimated at $1S5,00O. The
man who was responsible for the acct
dent, Frank Lamtell, surrendered him
self. He is now under arrest. The
known dead are George Laub, en-
gineer, and George Hinchman, fireman,
both of this city. Their bodies and
those of the tramps are buried be-
meath the wrecked cars.
The tunnel was occupied by a section
of the fast freight, which the engine
was unable to pull up the grade. The
'towerman was asleep and consequent
ly did not set red light, leaving the
white light in place. The second Sec
ton came along, the engineer putting
on extra speed to make the grade, and
crashed into the first section.

Has Resigned His Seat and Thinks He Has
Been Unfairly Treated.
Washington, May 16-Clark of Mon
tana surprised the senate yesterday
by formal announcement that he had
sent his resignation as senator to the
governor of Montana, Clark struck
just at the instant the iron was hot
test. Chandler, chairman of the COM
mittee ON privileges and elections, had
given notice that at l p. N. he would
cali up for consideration the resolution
unanimously reported from the COM
mittee declaring Clark not to be en-
titled to his seat in the senate. A spir
tied contest over the resolution was
expected and every senator in the city
was at his desk.
At 1890, just as the routine bust
ness was concluded, Clark rose and
delivered a sharp arraignment of the
committees action and report an ana
lytical discussion Of evidence adduced
at the investigation, an explanation of
political and business affairs in Mon
tana, and a bitter denunciation of
Marcus DAILY and his friends. Clark
declared his desire to hand down to
his children q name untarnished even
by the breath Of disgrace, and he al
most broke down. Then he read the
letter he had sent to the governor of
Montana rendering his resignation. At
the conclusion of the speech Clark be-
came the center of a group of senators
all DESTROYS of pressing his hand. The
resolution relating to Clark went over.

Movements of May rs.

con May II we moved to Wasch-
bank and Bethune to Pomeroy, while
General Hildyard, from Glands laagte
occupied Indoda mountain. On May
ID sent General Hamilton, with three
battlions up the steep slope Of Withock
hill. The Third cavalry brigade
crowned a hill on each side of the
main road, and Bethune attacked by
the Pomeroy road from three sides.
The enemy hu1riedly abandoned the
position which they had strongly en-
trenched and retired to the Mex in
front of Helpmakaar, whence we hope
to dislodge them tomorrow, as many
of them have retired. We have gained
the summit of the berg with the loss
of only few men wounded. [ ad-

finally being adopted by a party vote
giving congress power to define, regu-
late, control, prohibit or dissolve trusts,
monopolies, or combinations, whether
in the form Of corporation or other
wise.
Text of the Proposed Amendment.
The constitutional amendment as
agreed to and reported to the house
proposes the following as article XVI
of the constitution:
''Section /. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the states,
the territories. the District of Column
bia, and all territory under the sever
Of the United States.
Section 2. Congress- shall have pow
,er to define, regulate, control, prohibit
or dissolve trusts, mOnOpOlleS, or COM
binations, whether existing in the form
of q corporation or otherwise. The sew
eral states may continue TO exercise
such power in any manner not in con-
fict with the laws of the United
States.
section 3. Congress shall have pow
er to enforce the provisions of this az
ticle by appropriate legislation"
Points from the Majority Report.
The majority report favoring the
constitutional amendment says in part:
In our judgment it is the plain duty
Of those intrusted with the laW-making
power to propose and submit to the
people of the states such a remedy as
will enable congress to restrain. and
if need be repress absolutely, all Illegal
and dangerous combinations which
restrain trade or destroy competition,
or which may unjustly harrass or OPP
press labor. Labor has it's
best friend in aggregated capital, cor
porations and combination when fair
1y and honestly formed and conducted.
1T is not the existence, but the abuse
of corporate powers and combined
capital that merits condemnation and
denunciatiOn and demands a remedy.
Such abuses exist. Hence the neces-
sfty for the existence of a competent
controlling and restraining power-a
power of absolute suppression it may
be in a given case"
