against a lawyer charged with being the
agent of Clark in disbursing money for
corrupt purposes. The charges and coun-
ter charges are so voluminous that the
general public is at a loss to know just
how much is fact and how much is tic-
lion. Senator Clark's own admission on
the witness stand, however, is startling
enough. He gave TO the committee a de-
tailed statement OF expenditures for po-
litical purposes in the campaign resulting
in his election. These amount to $780,
900. And this statement did not include
gifts Of $1,000 each to three mcn who
had been active workers in his behalf.
Senator Clark denied all the charges
of corruption laid at his door, and seemed

Judge jenkins OF the United States

Cronje surrendered. was horn in Gavin
pore, India. in 1882 His early years
were spent in England. He did not know

He received n splendid military cduca-
ton in England. Tho success he won in
the Indian mutiny led to his eventual pro-
motion to be commander-in-chicf of the
Indian army. Roberts is quiet and rctir-
ing. cool and Il keen observer. He says
little and appears to be always thinking

band. His love for his only son did not
prevent his unrcmittins zeal in perfccting

Roberts and his victorious army. For
dix Days the Boer army was practically
vt the mercy of the British, but Lord
Roberts treated the burghers with great
consideration from humane motives.
Surrounded by ten times their number,
cut off from re-cnforcements n sup
plies, subjected to IL concentrated artillery
and machine-gun fire that for ticrcencss
and effectiveness probably has not been
equaled in history, burrowing like rab-
bits in Il river bank, and threatened by n
food that might burst on them at any
Hmc and drown them out like rats, the
Beers held out for over n week, and saw
one relieving force after another brOken
mp and scattered by the superior strength
of the enemy. A week in such Il situa-
tion is Il long time. 1t would have been
q great achievement to hold that position
Cor three days. But they had to yield
at last. Gen. Cronje himself was rccciv-
I'd by Lord Roberts with the greatest
courtesy and sympathy.
Lord Roberts will exchange a large
humber of the Boer prisoners captured
for British prisoners held in Pretoria.
at last accounts the Beers held as pris-
pners 19:: officers and 2,G69 men. These
will he snapped for an equal number of
Boer prisoners. Gen. Cronje will be held
D prisoner Of war at Cape Town. as the
Beers have no officer of his rank to ex-
change Cor him.

Tmrnerse Sums Paid by Quay and
Clark to Enter the Senate
Probably Clark Of Montana and Quay
of Pennsylvania have spent more money
than any other two men in the country
trying to get into the Senate, writes n
Washington correspondent. 1t is said up
on reliable authority that in his contest
for control of the State Of Pennsylvania
five years ago, the contest which resulted
in a Quay victory and the election of
Boles Penrose to the Senate, Quay spent
about 100000. He had to go into debt
for a good part of this money, and then
attempted to rccoup by speculation in
devious ways.
The testimony in the case of Senator
Clark Of Montana, whose right to sit in
the Senate is questioned on the ground
that the election was secured by bribery
on a colossal scale, reveals the existence
Of a revolving state of affairs, to say the
least. The climax was reached when jus
ticcs of the Supreme Court of Montana
testified that they were approached with
offers of brides if they would dismiss dis
barment proceedings then pending

The unconditional surrender of Gen.
Cronjc and his force, numbering 4,oto
men, was officially announced by the Brit
ash war Office early Tuesday morning.
Gen. Cronje, commandant of a Boer
army estimated at from 5000 to 10000
men, reiterated from Moddcr River to-
ward Bloemfontcin, the capital of the
Orange Free State, when Gen. French,
with British troops, effected the relief OF
Kimberlcy. Gems. Kelly-Kenny and
Kitchener managed to head off the re-
treat. Gen. French came to their aid
from Kimberley and Lord Roberts con-

Kept up almost necessarily for ten days,
ending with Cronjc's surrender.

he directed against them. The Outland-
ers paid ninc-tenths OF the taxes and yet
had little or no voice in the government
All that is wanted by the Outlandcrs.
said Mr.. Hammond, is the establishment
of the principle that there shall be no
taxation without representation.
On Mr.. Hammond's opinion. the pres.
cnt strife was forced upon President
Kruger by his inability to longer con-
troll the widespread conspiracy he had
built up against England. Dom Paul,
said Mr.. Hammond, was waiting for n
rupture between Great Britain and
some other power when he would make
his effort to attain independence. For
many years the Beers were actively
pursuing a scheme of conspiracy for
driving the English from South Africa
and We're buying guns, building fortiti.
cations and hiring foreign officers in an
ticipation of IL conflict.
1t might be supposed that MIR. Ham
mond was prcjudiccd in the matter in
favor of the English because of his
participation in movements against the
Beers, but. he claims. this view OF the
matter would be wrong. He spoke as an
American, he said, and put the facts of
the case plainly before his auditors.

News of Cronjc's Surrender Received
with Wild Demonstrations.
The news of Gen. Cronje's surrender
reached London Tuesday morning during
a sudden downpour of rain and spread by
word of mouth almost before the extra
papers appeared. Englishmen thawcd at
once. Absolute strangers stopped in the
streets, shook hands and slapped n
others backs. In Office buildings some
went down the corridors hammerins
doors and shouting the glad tidings.
Many rushed to the telegraph Offices,
while excited tlirongs blocked the Win
dows and flags were run up everywhere.
\ stranger entering London would not
have known the town. The usual staid
Englishman for the moment was insane
with joy. Proceedings on the stock en-
change opened with the singing of God
Save the Queen" and then the jubilant
brokers chcercd Roberts. Kitchener and
everybody connected with the war again
and again.
Pail Mall was thronged, and the war
Office packed with shouting and cheering
crowds. Congratulations were exchanged
on every side. 1t was really the first
chance the public has had to jubilatc. and
no one seemed TO neglect the opportunity.
The fact that it was the anniversary of
the battle of Majuba Hill added to the
effectiveness of the news, carrying rs it
did the averging of the disastrous defeat
the British had sustained nineteen years
ago. Gen. Cronjc's surrender will have
n far-reaching effect. 1t opens the south

On Saturday and Sunday. Feb. IL and
is, an attempt was made to take Cronje's
position by assault. but again the Beers
demonstrated their ability to stand off
infantry attack, and the British were
treated to a deadly fire against which
they could not advance. On Monday,
Feb. 10. Gen. Roberts arrived. He saw
the futility of attempting to storm the
Boer position and ordered a cessation of
these tactics. Instead, he brought up the
artillery around the Boer laagcr and
opened a terrific bombardmcnt, mean
while employing the infantry in an attack
or the Bocr re-cnforccments who were
coming to Cronjc's relief. Until Thurs
day the bombardmcnt continued unabat-
