American eX-Consul at Pretoria, APP
peared before the House Foreign AZ
fairs Committee to-day and told OF the
alleged indignities he suffered at the
hands of the British during his in
cumbency. When he gave out his
statement here some weeks ago dcclar-
ing his official mail had been opened by
British officials, Representative Wheel
cr. of kentucky, introduced u resolu-
ton for an investigation. 1t was sub
scquently arranged that the Foreign
Affairs Committee should take the
matter up of its own motion without
any direction from the House, and Mr.
Macrum was summoned to Washington
to testify. Mr.. Macrum is n slight man
about 30 years of age. lie was asked
by Chairman Hit TO make such state
ment rs he saw fit regarding the open
ing of his mail by the British censor.

He explained that when he asked for
4 leave OF absence he desired to come
home for private business reasons. and
also because he desired to place before
the United tates Government certain
facts which he deemed 1t essential
should be known here. He understood,
nc said, that the British had posses
sion Of our cable cipher. He was not
certain of this. but he had since had
information which convinced him that
his suspicious were correct.
He also desired information as TO his
course when the settlement came at
the end OF the war. Further, he had
a petition from some American resi-
dents in the Transvaal asking that the
United States maintoin absolute neu-
traity which he wanted to present to
the State Department. The petition lie
read 10 the committee. 1t was signed
by Gordon. the consular agent at Jo-
harrisburg.

Asked as to when he was first sat
isfied that his mail was being tampered
with he said that war was declared Oc-
tober 10. He did not receive any mail
between that date and the second week
in November. Ordinarily he had a box
Of mail every week.
Ibid other people receive mail during
that period?" asked Mr.. Williams OF
Mississippi.

Macrum.
Pressed for specific information as TO
how he got the intimation that the
British were opening and DELAYING his,

to inquire of Cape Town why it was be-

mandant Olivier has 5000 men and is
north of Ladybrand.
Immense quantities of stores have
now been accumulated at Bloemfon-
tein, and Lord Roberts infantry is
seemingly about to move. An impress
sion, which can BE- traced IN the War
Onicc, is abroad that the advance VIII

parties arc lowering near I3locmfon-
tein, but Lord Roberts has one nun
dred and thirty-fire miles 10 cover be-
fore reaching the great position which
iha Beers are preparing at ErGon-
stadt.
Moving ten miles Il day is probably
the best he can do with field transport.
Therefore he can hardly engage Tie
Beers in force for two weeks. The re-
construction of the railway behind him
may even delay an Invasion OF the
Transvaal until Nav. Meanwhile all
the important towns IN the Free State,
within Lord Roberts raa II. are be-

Ir. Il. Henry Jones wants Consti-

it understo that the Constitution
which is the product of that convention

said the people should exercise the
greatest care and discretion in choos-
ing delegates to the convention. Men
put in such places do not always vote
to represent the peoples views. If the
politicians are allowed to choose the
delegates, the convention will be rep

election next tan, ana as his hold upon
the stats SEEMS n no wise diminished.
he Is likely to be returned. Bacon. Of
Georgia, also counts on carrying his
state again, although Fleming Du Big
non. talented and brilliant lawyer and
orator. has entered the lists against
him. Knute Nelson, OF Minnesota,
seems also certain OF return. his popu-
larity being universal, while Senator
Warren, Of Wyoming, has the tide rum
ming his way. His state has enjoyed IN
unusual share of the prevalent prosper
ity, owing TO the advance in the price
OF wool. Senator Frye. OF Maine, and
Senator sewell, of New Jersey. Will be
returned without opposition.
VIII Support Hoar Anyhow.
The case Of Senator Hoar. who will
also be a candidate for reelection. pre-
sents a curious phase Of politics He is
against the administration on its Phil
ipplne policy, and when the Philippine
question comes before the senate. will
critlcIse the President with unsparing
hand. He has already placed himself
ON record, but will got yield an inch un-
III the battle has been lost. Notwith-
standing this, the pride of the state is
centered In him, and he win be re-eiect-
ed without opposition. Many of the
politicians would gladly see him sheIved
but they know that any attempt to de-
feat him would be resisted by the peo-
pie, and would prove futile.
II Senator McMillIn is to have a fight
on his hands in Michigan 1t is not yet
apparent, and his friends confidently
predict his re-electlon on evidently good
grounds. Pettlgrew. of South Dakota,
cannot, on the other hand, be returned
except after the most strenuous efforts,
with the chances against him. His
state has been giving increased Repub-
llcan majorities ever since 1895, and the
action Of the PopullSts in SELECTING a
city in his state as the place for holding
their national convention, will hardly
have a saving effect. Senator Carriers
fight in Montana win depend largely
upon the outcome Of the charges now
pending against Senator Clark. sena-
