BLOWS DEALT At A BANQUET.
Redmond Says Royal Visit VIII Not
Mitigate Irish Misery.

London, March 20.-At a Nationalist
banquet az the Hotel Cecil in London this
evening, John Redmond, leader of the Ma
tionalist party in the House of Commons,
who presided, said he regarded the last
nine years of public life in Ireland as a
hideous nightmare.
"Our reunion is sincere" he continued,
"and there is nothing, humanely speaking,
which the eighty-six Irish members of
Parliament cannot obtain from the exigen-
cies Of the British parties. 1t is incredi-
BILE that British statesmen can be so blind
to the teaching of history as to imagine
that serious practical grievances can be
mitigated by a royal visit to Ireland or
by a British celebration of st. Patrick's
day"
Mr.. Redmond denounced the war as the
most damning of which here Is any re-
cord in history" but he evoked tremendous
enthusiasm when referring to the gall
lantry of the Irish soldiers.
Edward Blake, member of Parliament
for South Longford, who proposed the
toast, '1reland, a Nation" was greeted
with hostile cries. A disturbance ensued,
and the police were called in to retsore
order
Amid the uproar stewards were sent for
to secure quiet. A scrimmage followed
and blows were exchanged. After a sharp
tussle quietude was obtained.
Later, while Edward McHugh, member
of Parliament for South Armagh, was
speaking, a small corterie renewed the in
fight. Many ladies' were present and be-
came greatly alarmed. Ultimately the po-
lice overpowered the disturbers and eject
ed them.

KRuGnR's REPLY TO ROBERTS.
Denies That Beers Made Improper
Use of the White Flag.

London, March 20, 7:15 p m.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received at the
war office from Lord Roberts, dated
Bloemfontein, Monday, March 10:
~ have received the following reply
90 my telegram of March II, to the pres
idents OF the Free State and South Afri-
can Republic:
Your Excellency's telegram reached
me yesterday. / assure nothing would
grieve me more than that my burghers
should make themselves guilty of a deed
such as that laid to their charge by you.
l am however, glad to say that you must
have been mistaken, l have made per-
sonal inquiry of Gen. Delarey, who was
in command of our burghers at the place
mentioned by you He denies entirely
that our burghers acted as stated by you,
but he says that on Saturday the date
being illegible, the British troops when
they were abont fifty yards from our
position, put up their hands as well as A
white flag, whilst at the same time your
cannon bombarded the said troops, with
the result that Commander Debeer was
wounded. Yesterday morning the heaa
commandant wrote In his account of the
battle as follows;'
The soldiers hoisted the white flag
but were then fired at by the British can
mons and compelled to charge
perhaps 1t is not known to your ex-
cellency that the same thing happened at
Splon kop. where, when a portion of the
troops hoisted a white flag and put up
their hands aud while our burghers were
busy disarming them, another portion of
the troops fired on our burghers; but some
of the British troops were killed 1t has
also been reported that at the last battle
Of the Tugea English cannon fired on
troops who had surrendered.
with reference to the explosive bullets
found in Cronje's laager and elsewhere,
can give Your Excellency assurance that
such bullets were not purchased or allow
ed by the government. /, however, have
know many Of the burghers OF this state
and of the South African Republic took
a large number of Lee -Metford rifles and
dumdum and other bullets from British
troops
May ] request your excellency, as the
cable is closed to me, to make my reply
known TO your government and the neu-
trail Powers by cable.
Estate President"
The dispatch from Lord Roberts con-
cludes as follows
"As to the inquiry into that matter
proves his honor's allegations to be un-
founded and as / personally saw the hold
ing up of hands which he denies, / have
not thought It desirable to continue the
correspondence."

POLITICS AND PISTOLS.
Caused Lively but BIOodIess street
Duel in Kansas City.


Kansas City, March 20.-A dozen shots
were exchanged and lively sprinting
match was INDUCED in, in the north end
this afternoon when three Republican
canvassers attempted to investigate al
legged fraudulent registration from the
rooming house above Election Judge John
Pryors saloon at 55S Walnut street.
Republican canvassers with two news
paper reporters entered Pryors place TO
verify the registration of twenty-five men
designated as living in the rooming house
kept by Pryor Pryor drew a revolver
and started for Scroggins, who had taken
the Judge to task at the primaries be-
cause of alleged Irregularities. Scrog-
gins. followed by Noland, dashed into the
street, while Canvasser Morris covereI
Phil McCrory, Pryor's partner who had
grabbed a gun and started to mix in.
While Morris kept McCrory inside the
saloon, behind the bar of which a dozen
loungers sought cover, Pryor, Scroggins
and Noland emptied their revolvers with
out effect at each other in the street.
Pryor was arrested tonight.

FATE or JOHANNESBURG.
Proposition That Both BeIIigercnts
Leave II Alone.

London. March 2).-Gen. Roberts and
Gen. Butler are still inactive, pending de-
velopments at the theater Of war.
Considerable interest Is attached to the
fate, of johannesburg. Commenting on the
reported consultation between Secretary
Hay and the German ambassador at
Washington. DR.. von Holleben. as to a
proposition that both belligerents be urg-
ed to leave johannesburg alone, the Pail
Mall Gazette says:
This time DR.. Leyds has, as we may
without improperly assume, put about
the tale to the effect that the German
ambassador at Washington and the
American consul at Pretoria are concoct-
ing a little scheme of German interven-
ton. That is really a glorious yarn and
one which shows to what desperate
straits the enemies of this country are re-
duced. Just imagine a government which
has formally declined all outside inter
Vention permitting Germany to dictate
the course of Lord Roberts march to Pre-
toria The German foreign office knows
better than to invite the snub 1t would
infallibly receive If it ventured to whis-
per so preposterous a proposal in Down
ing street"

TO BECOME CROWN COLONIES.
ULTIMATE FATE OF TRANSvAAL
AND FREE STATE.

Il H"cts "htch forecast England In

walls Resources Are Not Sufficient.
kruger's Reply to Roberts.
London. March 2l. 4:5O a. m-While there
is lull in the military operations, the
present surroundings show interesting de-
velopments.
The colonial office has telegraphed to
Cape Town the text of the proclamation
concerning the destruction of property.
This will not, be published in London I'M
TIL after its PRONUNCIATION In South Az
rica, but it is known that il will convey
an intimation that any wanton destruction
of British property during the war will
be regarded as warranung a claim for
compensation and, as justifying levy
upon private property, should the re-
sources OF the Transvaal Republic prove
inadequate.
The fact that the proclamation is issued
by the colonial office is regarded as a
significant indication that the republics
will be administered as crown colonies.
In this connection it is understood that
the leaders, in opposition in Parliament
now admit that no other settlement Is
possible since the republics insist on their
demand for absolute Independence. In
view of this the efforts of the Liberals will
be confined to securing in the settlement
the best treatment for the dense popua-
ton, including security against their dis
franchisement.
REORGANIZATION of the Army.
IT is regarded as a settled matter that
should the war be ended, as is now hoped,
before June, the government will dissolve
Parliament and appeal to the country on
the basis of a successful South African
policy Should the war drag on dissou-
tion will be postponed until next spring.
In any event one of the foremost planks
Of the government platform will be army
reorganization.
There is no further information as to
the movements of Sir Alfred Miner. 1t is
regarded as certain, however, that he has
gone to Bloemfontein to arrange for the
temporary administration of the Free
State.
The reply to Lord Roberts warning as
to the use of the flags of truce is com
mented upon as impertinent and ridicu-
lous and Lord Roberts course in closing
useless discussion is commended as
wise.
Indications from Natal seem to show
that Gen Buffers forward movement will
not be long delayed
The government has decided that Maj
Gen Sir Frederick Darlington shall com
mand a colonial force of 900 including the
$500 men Mr.. Chamberlain asked from
Australia.

OBJECTIONS TO LOUD BILL.
1t Seeks to Greatly Limit Second
Class MafI Matter.

Washington, March 20-The House to-
day entered upon the consideration Of the
Loud bill to restrict the character of pub
lications entitled to cent per pound rates
as second-cIass mail matter.
The bill has been before Congress for
several years. Mr.. Loud defended the bill
in a lengthy speech. The other speakers
were II. c. Smith OF Michigan, in favor of
she bill and Messrs Little of Arkansas,
Bell Of Colorado, Henry of Mississippi,
Stokes of South Carolina and Brown OF
Ohio, in opposition to ii.
It was arranged that general debate
should continue to-day and tomorrow and
on Thursday until o'clock, when the
bill should be read for amendment under
the five minute rule until O'clock when
the vote shall be taken.
lis main provision cuts Off from the
privileges Of second-class mail matter
which pays one cent per pound, publica-
tions purporting to be issued periodically
and to subscribers but which are books
or reprints of books, and defines the con-
ditions under which a publication shall be
admitted to the mails as second-class mat
ter.
Mr.. Loud said the government was los
ing Si5. coo, 600 In the handling Of its Sec
ond-class mail matter. This bill cutting
off some Of the abuses would save the
government SD,O00,OOO annually. Ihls meas
ure or one more radical had been recon-
mended by every Postmaster General since
1887.
MIR Loud said that one cent postage
could never come until every class Of
mail matter paid the cost of handling 1t.
Mr. Little Of Arkansas. who opened the
debate. said that his opposition turned
upon its hostility TO the general policy pur-
sued by the government heretofore, or
encouraging the ready dissemination of
literature He said there would be abuses
under any system, and said that the de-
felt should be wiped out by reducing ap-
propria tions for railroads transporting the

FIELD RULES WITH BECKHAM.
But There Are TWO Questions Yet to
Pass Upon In the Case.

PasS Upon III the Nase.
Louisville, KY, March 20.-Judge Field
to-day sustained the demurrer of coun-
sci for Gov. Beckham and granted the
motion TO strike out certain parts OF the
amended reply of the Republicans in the
consolidated gubenatorial contest suits.
With this went a judgment, signed by
Judge Field in conformity with this de-
cision and the former one, sustaining the
first demurrer and motion to strike out
This judgment is interlocutory, not final,
and two questions of fact still remain to
be passed upon by Judge Field: Was or
was not Gov Beckham of the requisite
constitutional age? Was or was not Gov.
Goebers death before or after the Legis-
lature had declared him the legally elect
cd Governor Of the comm Onwealth?
When Judge Field passes on these two
points. dispositions ca which are now be-
ing taken, the next step will be an appeal
by the Repu blicans to the Court of APP
meals.
