Contention Few Would

Mittimus Alleged to Be Faulty.
Remarks of the Court
Thereon.

CHIcAGo, March 80. Upon the de-
cision Of Judgg Dunno, ID regard to the
contention Of the attorneys for Former
Banker p. s. Dreyer, now under a peni-
tentiary sentence, for the embezzlement
of $316, 600 Of the funds Of the West
Park board, who are trying to secure
his release on writ Of habeas corpus,
may depend the liberty Of every con-
vict sent to Joliet since 1895. Dreyer's
attorneys claim that the naittiimus IN
their clients case, which provided
that he should be confined until
released by the state board Of pardons,
was in error, in that the parole law Of
1895 provided that the state board of
pardons had no authority to release,
but only to recommend such action to-
the governor, constituted an error, suf-
fcient to warrant his release. Dreyer,s
attorneys have also raised the technical
point that Dreyer had been twice placed
in jeopardy by the dismissal Of the Jury.
in a former trial before a decision had
been reached
" hen Attorney Mayer finished his:
argument Judge Dunno asked the
states attorneys if the mittttimi were

ply that all prisoners were sent to Joliet
upon this form of nittimus, the court
rejoined:

MAKE SPLENDID SOLDIERS.

Assistant Secretary Davis Has a Good
Opinion of the Beers.
NEW YORK, March 80. Among the
passengers on the steamer Aller, which
arrived during the day from Genoa,
was Webster Davis, assistant secretary
of the interior depar Mr.. Davis
repeated his previous denials that his
visit to the Boer republic was Of an Off
cial nature. He met President Kruger
at Pretoria and was greatly impressed
by the strength Of the chief executive Of
the Boer republic. Mr.. Davis believes
that the Beers will be able to continue
their struggle against the British for a
considerable time in spite Of recent re-
verses. He had an opportunity Of per-
sonally seeing the Boer troops in action
and he spoke highly Of their soldierly
qualities and courage Mr.. Davis said
he was well treated BY the Beers, every
possible courtesy being shown him. On
his trip to Pretoria from Lourenzo Mar
ques he travelled in the private car Of
President Kruger. Mr.. Davis met the
English generals, Roberts and Kitch-
ener,3 on the Modder river and spent
some time in their camp. %.&

Minnesota Senator Pleads for a Revenue
Tax on Porto Rico Rum and Tobacco.
w WAsHINaToN, March 80. The utter
ance Of Senator Davis on the Porto
Rican tariff bill is considered very i'm
portant. His speech was comparatively
brief, but his reasoning was so close and
5cogent that he crowded into small space
an immense amount of well digested
information and careful thought. His
principal proposition was that the nee
essary money to be raised by taxa
ton should not be raised by a
duty levied upon Porto Rican products
but by an internal revenue tax levied
on rum and tobacco produced in the
island. This system, in his opinion,
would better suit the people Of the
United States and those Of Porto Rico
than the proposed tariff and would be
just, equitable and constitutio ional. u
conclusion he said
t'W hat I say, I say with the unalter-
able conviction that am right ght
politically and right economical In
my Judgment the only course for us is
to abandon the pernicious mockery Of a
tariff between Porto Rico and the
United States and return to the path
way Of plain duty. =

No New Developments, However, in the
Goebel Assassination Case.
FRANKFORT, KY, March 80. There
were no developm ments in the assassina-
ton case during the day, though the air
was file. with rumors of more arrests
and other new phases. It was reported
that q prominent man who was sup
posed to be at Winchester would be ar
rested, but dispatches say that the sus-
pected man is not there and that no ar
rest has been made at that point. It is
claimed that the statement made by w.
Fl. Culton to the attorneys for the prose-
cution involved this suspected man, he
having been named by Sergeant Golden
in his statement last Saturday as one of
the promoters Of the movement which
resulted in bringing the mountaineers

Here they armed many blacks to fight
against us, showing all the world how
scanda dalously fraudulent were the excla-
nations Of horror at the idea of our

has hardly been a battle in which the
Beers have not abused either the white
flag or the Geneva cross or both. at

Maxims in ambulances in order to get

do at Modder river also, and at Kim

When we entered Jacobsdal, it looked

Ex-senator Sawyer was. born in Rut-
land county, Vermont, Sept. 20, 1916.
When about a year old, he moved with
his parents to Essex county, New York,
and in 1S47 he settled in this section,
where he has lived ever since. In 1858
he embarked in the lumber business,
through which he amassed a. fortune
estimated from one to two mil lions. His
first political honor was his election as
an alderman to the city council, and
afterwards he was chosen mayor. In
1864 he was elected to congress, where
he remained for 10 years, and in 1881, !,
he was elected to the United States sem
ate, which position he held for three
terms. He was alWaysa stalwart Re
publican and his counsel was eagerly
sought both in state and national poll
tics. His public bequests were numer-
Gus and generous, amounting annually
to thousands Of dollars. There was
scarcely q public or charitable move
3ment in which he did not head the list
of donors. 1t is expected that large be-
quests will be provided by his will for
charitable, educational and philan-
thropic purposes.

Julian Ralph Makes Some Very Strong
Statements. WI
s LONDON, March 80. The most serious
Indictment of the Boer method Of war.
fare which has yet appeared in England
comes from Julian Ralph, the Ameri-
can war correspo lent, in a letter from
Kimberley published in The Daily
Mail. It is in part as follows:
II is O war steadily and stealthily
planned by the queen d Dutch subjects
and the Dutch republics for fully 20
years. For between four and six years
they have been equipped for it. They
began purchasing arms and planning
defenses before the JaIneson raid Let
no one fool you with q falsehood. about
that. Finally President Kruger begged
President Steyn to declare war three
years before President Steyn consented.
Next rid your mind of the notion that
you are crushing two farmer republics.
There is, note farmer in the two conn-
tries and only one, the Free State, was
q republic in any way except misnam-
ing. These people are herders Of
cattle, sheep and goats, like the
Israelites of old, and the Afridis,
Turks and Balkan peoples Of today.
His (the Boers) so-called farms are as
nature made them, merely reaches of

Preparation.
Core ondent J Julian Ralph Gives
the Beers q Very Bad
Name.

LONDON, March 80. Conjecture as to-
Lord Roberts movements from Bloem-
fontein3 is the topic Of the day and is.
likely to continue SO, if the British
command -chief in South Africa
conceals his movements as carefully as;
he has done in the past. April 2 is set
by various critics as the probable date
Of the departure Of the main army from
Bloemfontein. It is pointed out that.
there will then be over weeks hard
marching before Kroonstadt is reached,
though there seems no certainty that
Kroon onstadt will entirely u occupy Lord
Roberts attention. The advance, when
it does occur, will probably be made by
parallel parall columns, along broad 'front.':
The movements Of the cavalry force
and part Of the infantry towards Glen
can an !! scarcely be construed as an actual
advance, although they und ndoubtedly
point to the imminence of such a step;
But only small part of General Gata-.
cre's forces have yet arrived at Bloem-
fontein, and until that movement is
completed it is not likely Lord Roberts
will start for Pretoria.
Reason For the Halt. 3.
The latest news from Bloemfo fonteini
contained in q dispatch in the second
edition Of The Times, and dated March
2S, again dWells upon the necessity for
not making a premature advance. This
correspond dent, who on several occasions
seemed to have been chosen as. the
,mouthpiece Of Lord Roberts, cables:
1T should be clearly understood that
the present halt in the vicinity Of
Bloe emfontein is absolutely necessary as
a military precaution. It should be:
borne in mind that we are about to
enter upon q new phase Of the opera
hons, with the main communications
through a recently occupied hostile
country, and that the recent successes
necessitated q great expenditure Of
horse power. Here and in Natal we
shall move on the commencement Of the
South African winter, and must be pre-
pared to face the results Of the first
frost upon the animals, which may be
affected with horse sickness. 1t would
be suicidal to push troops forward until
they are equipped to meet the exposure
of winter. Horses, clothing and food!
we must have.'' N
The correspo ondent adds that the Boer
forces have been, re-equipped and he
is fully convinced that 150, 900 foreign
troops have been landed to aid the re-
pubics
