GERMAN CONSUL GROSSLY INsULTED.
uch is the Report THAI Comes From Cape
Town.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, April 4.-General Colville
and General French have given up
the movement against the Beers east
of Bloemfontein and have rejoined the
main army. Lord Roberts doubtless
deemed it vain to send from ten to
twelve thousand of his best troops in
to the wilderness with a field trans
port in the direction at a right angle
with his chosen line of advance. The
Beers have probably moved elsewhere,
and if to the southwest General Col
Vile could as easily strike them from
across the plains. These differences
still leave the situation bewildering
for the time being. The enormously
superior British forces appear inac-
tive in every part of the war field,
waiting yet probably for the accnmu-
lation of material for swift advance
for the Transvaal frontier.
The local military commentators
and the public to some extent are irri-
tated and confused by the situation.
Details received OF the scenes on
Green Market Square, Cape Town,
Tuesday when Premier Schreiner en-
countered an English demonstration,
show that the Premier, fearing per-
sonal violence sought refuge in res
taurant. He was hooted and tried TO
reach Parliament House protected by
police. The people shouted 'Iraitor."
but he succeeded in reaching the
house. Finally on the people again
singing God Save the Queen" he
raised his hat amid cheers and was
heard to say, Reserve your Judge
ment."
The permanent bridge at the Mod
der River station has been finished.
The first train passed over it Tuesday.
The British garrison at Springfontein
was reused at midnight Monday by
the intimation that the Beers in force
were about to make an attack, but
not a burgher appeared.
A further list of the casualties sus-
tanned by the British officers at Kooru
(Karee?) Spruit, March 31st, adds II
missing and one wounded making the
total thus far 32.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 4.-Convention
Hall where the Democratic National con-

18th, was laid in ruins in less than thirty
minutes this afternoon, by fire. The
structure was doomed from the start and
the firemen early turned their efforts to
saving adjoining property. stih breeze
was blowing and before the fire was sub
dued the Second Presbyterian church, one
OF the finest edifces in the city, the
church parsonage, the Lathrop Public
School, two-story, 10-room building. al
situated across the way on Central street
and a half block of three-story Fat .2ild-
ings on Twelfth street, were totally de-
stroyed Several residences were dam
aged and for a time it was feared that
several blocks of buildings in the resi-
dence district would go
The aggregate loss is 100000, appor'
toned as follows:
Convention Hall, 1926, 900; insurance,
$l55,000.

Parsonage, 5000; insured

Plans are on foot to rebuild Conven-
ton Hall Immediately and nave it ready
for the Democratic convention in ely.
While the fire was still in progress
members of the Commercial Club, through
whose efforts the hall was built, min
gled in the crowd of spectators and be-
gan soliciting funds for a new struc-
ture.
This evening $4,000 had been subscribed
and Secretary e. VI. Clendenning, of the
club. called a mass meeting of citizens for
tomorrow night to decide ways and means
for raising an additional $4,000. The
Hall Association had $4,000 in the bank
ard will have the $155000 insurance for
immediate use, the insurance companies
having offered to waive the usual sixty
day limit and make settlement on de-
mand. The Kansas City Lumber Com
pany that furnished four fifths of the
lumber for the old building has agreed
to duplicate the order at once at the
rate IN existence two years ago, and the
Minneapolis firm that furnished the steel
girders for the immense roof have been
asked 10 duplicate their order.
The fire started just above the boiler
room where some plumbers had been at
work. The supposition is that the blaze
started from q spirit lamp or by the
crossing of an electric light wire.
Convention Hall has been classed as
one of the largest and most perfectly
constructed auditorums in the world. The
building was erected in 1898 at a cost
OF $235 900 which was raised entirely by
public subscription. 1t occupied a piece
of ground 314 by 200 feet, in extent, was
two stories high and built of native stone,
cream brick and terra Gotta,
The Board of Directors of the Conven
tion Hall Company held meeting tonight
and decided to have the hall built before
July 4th, and the work of clearing away
the debris begins tomorrow. That the
necessary funds will be subscribed is not
questioned.

RECEIVERS ARE APPOINTED.
For Southern Home Building and Loan AS
sociation of Atlanta.
(3y the Associated Press.)


Atlanta, Ga, April 4.-Judge Don A.
Pardee, of the United States Circuit Court
has appointed Judge John T. Pendleton
and William Fl. Henderson receivers of
the Southern Home Building and Loan
Association of Atlanta.
The complainants in the bill for relief
are:
Mrs. M. c. Alexander, a resident of
Tennessee; w. S. Bradley, of Virginia,
and A. T. Spaulding, of Texas.
The proceedings were taken by mutual
consent to end litigation, which has be en-
proceeding for some time, and it is cx.
pected the receivers will close up the
affairs of the concern at once. The
amount involved is believed to be in the
neighborhood Of 81 100000
The company has many shareholders
in the Southern States, and It's loans ana
other transactions extend from Texas to
Virginia.
The closing of the affairs of the com
pany will affect vast interests IN some
localities. The bill which has been tied
will be followed by others N the States
where the association operated, and it
is likely that the court, as soon as the re-
ceivers begin work, will appoint core
ceivers for each State where the corpora
ton has assets.
The principal cause of the liquidation
is the excessive taxes, State, county and
municipaCl, which according 70 recent Su-
preme Court decisions have been assessed
against the company.

REPORTED INSULT TO GERMON CONSUL
Premier Sch,einer Hooted at Cape Town. Por-
tugaI Claims That England Has Right
Given by Treaties to Move Troops
Across Her Territory.

London, April 5.--(Thursday- a.
m. 1T looks today as though the
Beers had conceived the audacious
plan of attempting to invest LORD
Roberts at Bloemfontein, or at least to
endeavor to delay his northward adj
vance by harrassing the British lines
of communication.
On his side Lord Roberts is concen-
trating his forces and preparing TO
take every advantage of the bold but
risky tactics of the enemy. He is not
likely, to strike at any of their forces
until he is certain of delivering a
crushing blow.
The situation in the absence of any
official dispatch from Lord Roberts is
both mystifying and interesting
There is little doubt that Lord
Roberts is hampered by the necessity
for re-mounts and transport, and the
loss of the convoy guns and all of
Colonel Broadwood's baggage was q
serious matter. The Beers are now
trusting to what they believe to be
their superior mobility.
The special correspondents at the
front are now denouncing Lord
Roberts policy of leniency toward the
Free Staters. and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy.
A special dispatch announces tnat
Mafeking was still besieged, but safe
on March 27th.
