THE WISE.YOUNG CONTEST.

As stated in the Gazette of that day,
consideration OF the Wise Young cleo
ton contest wss resumed 10 the House
OF Saturday and occupied the renal =
der of the session.
Mr., Weeks, of Michigan, criticised
election methods in various southern
States, and compared them with the
methods 10 the north.
This was vigorously resented by MIR.
Cooper, OF Texas, and Mr.. Terry, OF
Arkansas.
Mr.. Burke, of Texas, presented the
case in behalf of The contestee. Mr..
Young. He said this case amounted 10
proposition to disfranchise city of
10000 Inhabitants (Norfolk) because of
the illegallty of not exceeding 140
votes.
Mr.. Hull replied to q statement by
Mr. Burke that Mr.. Hanna, chairman
of the republican national committee,
had held that Mr.. Holland Was the
regular candidate of the republicans in
the second congressional distric, OF
Virginia.
Mr.. Hull said that Mr.. Hanna had
made no such decision. The congrt s.
sioual committee had charge of that
matter, and had decided that Mr.. Wise
was the regular candidate. The fact
was, Mr.. Hull said, that the reppbli.
can State organization in Virginia
vas anxious to keen the republican
party large enough only to fill the
federal offices in the State. To this
end he was satisfied the organization
had interfered against regular republi-
can candidates for Congress notably
in Mr.. Wise's district, and also in that
Of Er, Walker.
He concluded with the statement
that Mr.. Wise was ss regularly CAT
didste of the republican party as any
man 10 the House.
Mr.. Lnney, OF North Carolina, spoke
10 support OF Mr.. Wise.

NOTHING shows the folly OF human
nature more glsringly than mournful
complaints, in free and equal country
where the majority rules, of the ipJus-

Time to choose for their law makers
men who are subject to the malien In

free the interest of the people to those

THE FACT that the republicans apd
,ba democratic deserters in Kentucky
have kept that State in condition OF
murderous anarchy for months, and are
intent upon continuing to do SO indeh-
nitely. shows what they would 90 10
all tho other once Southern States II

democrats of that State are less dis
posed to resort to violence to enforce

COMMISSIONERS OF VALUATION
The Auditor, Second Auditor and
Treasurer were in session for some
time en- Saturday and appointed six ad'
dilionsl commissioners OF valuation.
The board has decided to make no fur
Their announcement Of appointments to
the office of commissioner OF valuation
until the commissions have been actual
ly issued. The blank forms OF the COM
missioners have not been printed. Pre-
tests are being made against many OF
the appointments, and it is said that ii
the people OF some of the counties and
cities had been consulted the commits
sioneIs named by the board would have
been repudiated. The action Of the
board in making Toe appointments so
hastily and without consulting the peo-
pie is also being severely criticized and
threats are made that the members of
the board will be held to account at the
next election. The terms of the COM
missioners expire in 1904. Each is re-
quired to give bond of S. 900. The

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Following the recent peace pro-
posals of Presidents Kruger and Steyn
to the British government comes the
news that they have asked the inter-
yention OF the Powers to prevent
further bloodshed in the south African
war. A dispatch received yesterday by
the London Daily Mail from Pretoria,
marked censored by the Boer gov -rn-
ment," and the correctness of which Is
not doubted in London, states that
Kruger aud Steyu called into confer
ence the consuls at Pretoria last Friday
and asked them to invite the interveD-
ton of the Powers.
Newspapers 10 Berlin, Vienna and
Rome, where official sentiment 10 fav-
orable to Great Britain, state that there
i, no prospect of intervention. The at
,ltude of other powers is uncertain.
Both France and Russ are reported 10
be making active preparations for pos
stole war.
In London there are reports that
there is difference of opinion among
the cabinet members ss to peace terms.
Il is believed, however, that theie
terms will soon be formulated.
The Beers VINO are seeking to harass
Lord Roberts fought stubborn rear
guard action, which lasted all OF Satur-
day. The fight occurred ut DreifoDteip,
in the Orange Free State, % miles
northwest of Bloemfonteip. Lord Re-
berts reports that the Beers lett lO2
lead on the field aud the British Cap
tured about 20 prisoners. A partial
list of killed and wounded British OH
GERS sent by Lord Roberts indicates that
the British loss was also considerable.
After an all day fight the Beers retired
iD the night, as parallel columns OF Brl-
fish troops threatened to envelop them.
On Sunday the British advanced to
Aasvogel kop, but 20 miles from bloem-
fOnten.
Beer reports state that the fall OF Ma
fekjng is certain, and that the Beers are
preparing for final assault upon the
town,
British advices from Capetowo state
that the Dutcn revOlutionisls 10 large
numbers are laying down their arms
O her cape reyolutionists are leaving 10
ioin the Beers 10 the Free State.
Sharp fighting is reported at Lady
Grew, in which the revOluti0nists are
said TO have suffered heavy losses. IL
ls stated in some London dispatches
that the reported flight of the Beers In
the 6ght at Poplar Grove, Orange Free
Slate, last Wednesday was not a flight
at all, bnt an orderly retreat: that the
Boer force consisted OF but 5000 men
and was intended to harass and watch,
not to fight, Lord Roberts army OF
40 900 men or more; that the Beers lost
only a few men, a cannon which broke
down and few boxes of ammunition.
The Beers as yet show no signs Of
abandoning Natal, 4 considerable
force of them is reported to be still
south of Ladysmith. A body OF British
troops reconnoitering towards Help
makaar, northeast OF Ladysmith, en-,
countered hot fire near Pomeroy and
retired.
The British war losses up to date as
reported 10 London are as follows
Killed, 2.4lS; wounded, S.747; died OF
disease, 1,029; missing, 3,4S3; total, To-
