General Rumble Is Thought to Be ADJ
Yancing Toward Wepener
BoRRs WANT a REPRESENTATIVE
70 Watch the Interests of Prisoners
Held by British at st Helena
Like Consul Hay Is Do-
ing at Pretoria.

London, April 23.-General Rumble
is apparently advancing slowly toward
Wepener, every step being closely con-
tested by the Beers.
A Thabu N'Chu dispatch, dated Fri
day, April 20, reports the arrival there
of Commandments Dewet and Villiers,
and an attack upon 5000 British under
General Gatacre. The latter, of course,
is a mistatement, and it is probable
General Rumble is meant. The British,
it is added, occupied some kopjes, but
their left wing was driven back. The
Boer loss was one killed and five
wounded
From Brandfort comes the news that
Saturday, April 81, British patrol of
10 men ventured near that place and
suffered the loss of one man killed ard
two men captured, including a Free
Slater, who was leading the party.
A Pretoria dispatch, dated April %,
says that fighting was proceeding
within half an hours ride of Dewcts
Dorp, with no results.
The Transvaal government, it is add
ed, has asked Lord Roberts to be al
lowed to send a clergyman to st.
Helena, and also a neutral consul to
watch the interests OF the prisoners
in the same manner as Adelbert Hay
guards the interest of the British at
Pretoria.
A proclamation has been issued pro-
hibiting the working of the mines on
Sunday and inhicting punishment on
managers paying over G1 a month to
natives.
From Ladysmith comes dispatch
saying all is quiet and that the Boer
guns are silent.
There is nothing further from
Bloemfontein to indicate the progress
of the preparations for the main adj
vance.
At Cape Town a government contrac-
tor named BAN has been arrested for
harboring three escaped Boer prisoners
dressed as clergymen. The prisoners
were sent back to Simontown, whence
they had escaped.

Bankruptcy laws in this country
have never been of long duration.
Three have been passed and soon
afterward repealed. The present
law seems to stand the test of usage
better than any of it's three prede-
cessors of 1901, 1871 and 1867
Propositions arc pending to amend
it, especially in the line of more
stringent regulations against fraud,
but its repeal WAS not sought, as
was the case with the other bank
rupt laws. The law as it stands
certainly results in the expeditions
disposal of bankruptcy cases., for
up to September 30 last there had
been filed some 81 900 petitions, on
which there had been 1859 adiu-
dioations, resulting in 1O,8S3 dis
charges. Thus in fifteen months
half the cases had been finally dis
posed of, which is remarkably eX-
peditious for legal proceedings of
such volume. The amount of in
debtedness out by these proceed
ngs is over $355 100000.

The Hannaites.

The Hannaites recognize the
fact that they must go before the
country in the coming election on
the defensive from every point of
view. They have broken their
pledge they made to the people,
turned war for humanity into a
war of conquest, repudiated the
pledge that General Miles made to
the Porto Ricans, while President
Mckinley has taken back the words
he said at Boston, namely, that the
flag is not to mean one thing in
one place and another thing in
another.
The situation inwhioh the Han
Mates find themselves is very dis
tressing, and they fullyrealize that
a tremendous campaign fund is
their only hope in the coming con-
test. Therefore they have deter
mined to force through Congress
every measure that will enable
trusts and syndicates to raid the
United States Treasury and expect
in return large contributions to
their campaign fund, The cor
ruption of the Hannaite regime
equals that of Rome at its worst.
1t is time for the people to rise
in their might in the name of de-
oency, honesty and Christian civili-
cation and redeem our fair land
from the corrupt rule of the Hanna
ites.-The Watchman.

senator Hoar.

Senator Hoar made speech in
the Senate the other day against
imperialism, in which he said:
ESPECIALLY if 1 could would 1
persuade the great republican par
ty to como back again to it's old
faith, to its old religion, before tits
too late. There is yet time. The
President has said again that his is
only an adinterim policy until Con-
gress shall act. 1t is not yet too
late, Congress has rejected, unwise-
ly as 1 think some declarations for
freedom. But the two houses have
not as yet committed themselves to
despotism. The old safe path, the
path alike of justice and of freed
ON, is still easy. 1t is path ia
miliar of old to the republican par
ty. If we have diverged from it
for the first time, everything in
our history, everything in our own
nature calls us back.
ST, for one, believed and still be-
lieve that the pathway to prosper
ity and glory for the country was
also the pathway to success and
glory for the republican party. L
thought the two things inseperable.
If, when we made the treaty of
peace we had adhered to the pur-
pose we declared when we declared
war; if we had dealt with the Phil
ippine island as we promised to
deal, have dealt, and expected to
deal with Cuba, the country would
have escaped the loos of 5000
brave soldiers, other thousands of
wrecked and shattered lives, the
sickness of many more, the eXpen-
diture of hundreds of millions of
dollars, and what is far worse
than all, the trampling under
feet of it's cherished ideals,
There would to-day have been an
other republic in the east, sitting
Doodle at our feet, receiving from
us civilization, laws, manners and
giving in turn everything the graf
itude of a free people could give
love, obedience, trade. How our
orators and poets would have de-
lighted to contrast America liber-
ating and raising up the republic
of Asia, with England subduing
and trampling under foot the re-
republic of Africa. Nothing at
home could have withstood the
great party and the great president
who had done these things. We
should have come from the next
election with solid north, and have
carried half the south. You would
at least have been spared the spec
taole of great republican states
raising in revolt against republican
policies"
