Durham, says:
H. NJ. S. Widgecn brings from Del
agoa Bay number or British amlou-
lance men who were captured at Dun

prisoners taken from the British irreg-

Several Americans among the civ
ilians complain bitterly that their cen
sui at Pretoria ignored their represen-
tations, although no charge had teen
preferred against them"

was every indication for general dis

WASHINGTON, D. c., January T.
Early this week there will be filed with
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections a supplementary brief in the
protest of John T. McGraw and others
against the seating of Nathan B. Scott
as Senator from West Virginia.
This brief, which has been carefully
prepared by McGraw's attorneys,
Welles, Bennett & Welles, materially
strengthens the case already made, es-
pecially as to the question of United
States Senator, the contention being
that majority should be one of all the
members of the Legislature and not
merely of those present or voting. Some
very interesting decisions and prece-
dents bearing on this point and sustain
ing McGraw's contention will appear in
the brief. The remainder of the brief
is taken up with REPUTATION of the ar
gument contained in the anonymous
document, commonly imputed to Elk
Senator Faulkner, which was presented
in behalf of the Scott side of the con-
troversy.
The subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
which was to have determined on a
course of procedure in the Scoot case,
has been unable to agree, and the whole
matter will come up before the full
committee, in all probability after the
conclusion of the Clark case. 1t is
probable that Hon. J. G. s. Blackburn.
who will soon be chosen Senator from
Kentucky. will appear in behalf Of Mr..

The Cape Town correspondent Of the

dated January 5th, with the excitement
caused by rumors of a Dutch coup,
which the authorities pronounced base
less. says:
"A local paper to-day asks if it be
'baseless' that the guards OF all the
public buildings are trebled every
night, that the patrols scour the roads
converging at Cape Town, that troops
are encamped at Greenpoint. that the
volunteers sleep under arms and have
received orders to rendezvous instantly
on hearing guns fired from the batter
les.
To-day the authorities issued
notices warning the public of the dan
ger of being fired upon if they APP
proach posts guarded by sentries at
night time and do not stop when chal-
lenged. The public has also been no.
titled that all boats approaching the
British cruiser Niobe, anchored in the
bay, must carry light or take the risk
of being fired upon from the cruiser"

| VIII Extend Aid of Some Sort to
the Beers, But VIII DO No Act
Contrary to the Laws of the
| United States.
| WASHINGTON, January THE ma
tional officers of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians met in this city to-day, and
later issued the following statement to
the public:
| THE national officers met in Wash
ington, to discuss demand on the part
of large majority of the representa-
tives of our 10000 members that the
order render some assistance to the
Beers in the Transvaal. 1t was agreed
to render any assistance compatible
with our loyalty as American citizens
and which would not interfere with the
neutrality laws of the United States.
We were impressed with the splendid
precedent shown by the Republic in
going to war with Spain to free Cuba
from the oppression Of that country.
We believe that American sympathy Is
with the Beers, and that we are acting
in accord with the principles which
urged the United States to carry the
flag in struggle for the liberation Of
the gallant Cubans. Our people would
flock to the Armies Of America if the
government marched to the assistance
Of the South Africans. 1t is unneces-
sary for the Hibernians to proclaim
their loyalty to the United States, but
it becomes them to state that no act
of theirs will be contrary to the laws.
Knowing the character of the British
government, its cruelty, its ambitions,
we are DESTROYS to assist the citizens of
a sister republic in their struggle to
defeat English aggression. What kind
of aid will be given we cannot state
at the present time, but certainly it
will be of a practical nature and ac-
ceptable to the Beers government
| Were this nation the antagonist of
England. we could from our ranks send
fifteen to twenty thousand regiments OF
the best fighting material the world ever
saw. In fact in any just cause in which
| the United States may see fit to draw the
sword, the society would respond as 1t did
| in the former wars.
| THE Irish regiments Of Illinois, Mich
| igan, Massachusetts and New York were
! largely recruited from our ranks, and In
some of the regiments of United States
! regulars recently sent to the front are
| divisions Of the A. O. H., duly affiliated
with the parent order in this country. The
! order at large are hopeful that the gov
eminent will yet rise to the wishes and
! hopes of the Irish-Americans and extend
to the brave Boer the sympathy France
| gave to this country IN z.

The Congressional Apportionment.

The announcement of the population of
the United States made by the census bu-
reau, says a Washington special to the New
York Times, has started speculation
about the effect on apportionment for mem
bers of Congress. The increase or decrease
in State representation depends on the feel
ing of Congress which is yet to be elected.
1t is quite certain, however, that several
States will lose. One of them is Nebraska
which has gained only 10000 population.
Another is Maine, which has gained only
$4,000. Nevada shows a falling off in popu-
lation, but is safe for she has only one Con-
gresham now.
The greatest gamer under the conserva-
tive estimate of an increase to 100000 to
each representative would be Pennsylvania,
which would gain three congressman, bring
ing her number up to 81, New York would
gain two, reaching the total Of 81, Kentucky
Maryland, South Carolina and Virginia
would each lose a congressman, which
would not be offset by the gain of two in
Texas, Maine and Vermont would each lose
congressman, though Massachusetts
would gain one. Illinois would gain two
making her representation "a. OF the other
great middle states, Indiana, Ohio and Min
neSOta would each lose one.
There is hardly any doubt that the new
apportiOnment will not be made on any
less basis than 100000.

Not Very Far.

The following verses, accompanied by a
beautiful wreath, were placed on the coffin
of the late Mrs Gladstone By the Princess
of Wales:
1t seemeth such little way to me
Across to that strange country, the Beyond !;
And yet not strange, for it has grown to be
The home of those of whom | am so fond :;
1t makes it seem familiar and most dear
AS journeying friends bring distant
regions near.
So close it lies that when my sight is clear
l think l almost see the cleaning strand;
] know feel those who have gone from here
Come close enough sometimes to touch my
often think but for our yelled eyes
We should find heaven right round about us
here.
And so, for me, there is no sting to death
And so the grave has lost its victory;
1t is but crossing, with abated breath
And with set face, a little strip of sea
To find the loved ones waiting on the shore,
/ cannot make it seem day to dread
When from this dear earth l shall journey
out
To that still dearer country of the dead,
And join the lost ones SO long dreamed
about
love this world, yet shall love to go
To meet the friends who wait for me,
know.
never stand above bier, and see
The seal of death set on some well-lOved
face,
But that think one more to welcome me
When l shall cross the intervening space
Between this land and that one over there
One more to make the strange Beyond
seem fair.
