class of 1867 and her paper was charm

flow of soul. There were present the

SENATE PASSES sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Amendment Providing For Beginning Memorial
Bridge Between Washington and Arlington.
(By the Associated Press }


Washington. May 31.--At the conclu-
sion of a session lasting eight hours
the Senate this evening passed the Sun
dry Civil Appropriation Bill. The amend
ment providing for an appropriation of
S. 100000 for the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position to be held in st. Louis in 1903
was continued in the bill, after an un-
successful effort to reduce the appropria-
ton. An amendment was Incorporated
providing for the beginning of the work
on the memorial bridge between Wash
ington and Arlington cemetery to be
erected in memory of the dead Of both
the Union and Confederate armies. While
the bill carries only 100000 for the pro-
ject it is expected ultimately to cost
about 81, 900 900. An amendment also was
added to the measure providing for an
adjustment of certain claims of the
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Vir-
GINA Delaware, California, Oregon and
South Carolina. Only two General Appro
priation Bills remain to be acted upon
by the Senate. the Military Academy and
the General Deficiency measures. 1t is
expected they will be passd by Saturday

NO GUNS CAPTURED
The Boer ENJOYS Are Not
Cast Down.
They Declare Roberts viii Yet Hear From
These Ours and That the Beers VIII
Never Give Up.
lBy Inc Associated Press.l

Eoston. May 31.-The Boer cnvoys were
given warm reception at the State
House this afternoon. They called on
Governor Crane and after paying their
respects 20 I'm were escorted to the
House of Representatives.. A recess was
taken and the members crowded around
the visitors The guests addressed the
House briefly and afterwards spent some
time in watching the routine proceedings.
They did not go 10 the Senate chamber
The ENJOYS did not seem greatly de-
pressed by the news from Johannesburg
and Pretoria Mr.. Fischer pointed out
that the English forces have not captured
a single piece of artillery or any con-
siderable munitions of war from us
since our men have been executing their
mastery retreat" This material has not
ascended into the air, nor has it gone up
in Lord Roberts balloons, and the Eng
lish will find it out to their sorrow | am
afraid. Our guns, supplies, etc, have
been taken along with our troops and
they will yet be used effectually if I am
not greatly mistaken.
The fact that President Kruger has
retreated to Waterfall Bowen and that
this is declared the capital of our gov
eminent shows that our people are stll
determined to win their independence
Our capital is where our President
chooses to make it,
The fact that Lord Roberts annexed
the Orange Free State the other day
means nothing. The United States could
annex Canada by proclamation, but some
thing more effective would have to follow
TO make it fact.
Mr.. Fischer added the statement that
President Kruger would not surrender
while there was bullock cart and six
teen oxen in the Transvaal to transport
him from place to place.
Mr. Vessels expressed much the same
opinion as Mr.. Fischer, but he said that
he looked upon the late news from South
Africa with some suspicion. He said that
if President Kruger had been going to
surrender he would have remained in the
city. while the Beers would not have
carried away their guns and ammunition
if they had intended to capitulate. Rob-
erts, he said, may yet run into a nice
trap.

A TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
Negro Outrages White Woman in Cumber-
land County.
(Fayetteville Observer

tFayetteVllle observer
News reached here last night Of the
most outrageous crime ever committed
in Cumberland county. Messrs. S. b.
Goodwin and Jas. West came to town
hurriedly at midnight and reported to
Sheriff Burns that Mrs. West, the young
wife of the latter and niece of the
former, was criminally assaulted by a
negro man in Flea Hill township yesterday
afternoon They were both sworn in as
deputy sheriffs and returned at once to
get together a posse and go in search of
the fiend.
From what can be learned. it seems
that Mrs West was walking in the yard
near the fence. when she was seized from
behind by the negro, who choked her into
insensibiity. Mrs. West made a brave
struggle and screamed for help but. as
her husband and all the hands were work
ing in distant field, it was to no pur
pose. The negro. who made good his
escape, is described as young, rather black
and well dressed. From the description
given to him. Chief of Police Flowers
thinks he was in this city yesterday
There is intense excitement in Flea
Hill, and. if caught, it is thought the
first lynching in Cumberland's history
will have to be recorded.
