the curling smoke and listened for the

Every Thanksgiving night she en-

of the imagination. She saw child at

Alleged That There Was SyS-

London, Oct. 12.-The Pretoria cor

following interesting dispatch:
From an English telegraphist who
was controller of telegraphs for the
Transvaal learn that there was sys-
tematic tampering with all kilograms
during the war in order to misrepre-
sent operations in favor of the Beers.
He says that Mr.. Kruger was con-

quiries as to how many of the British
had been killed, and that Gen. Cronje,
after the fight at Magersfontein, wired
Mr.. Kruger that he had counted many
thousands Of British dead on the bat
tlefeld.
EARLY in the campaign Command
ant General Joubert appealed to Mr..
Kruger to stop the Beers lOoting, but
he received no reply. Later on he wired
from Colenso advising the president to
sue for peace. Mr.. Kruger replied:
Have you lost all faith in God?'
"On another occasion when the Beers
were suffering severe reverses Mr..
Kruger wired to all the generals that
10000 men were coming to their assist

SAY MAGISTRATES
SELL " JUSTICE !"
Charge Of Corruption in
Philippine Courts
II est Americans From The United
States Will be Substituted for
The Native Justices

Manila, Oct. 12.-The administration
OF Manila's civil courts by Filipino
magistrates which has long been scan-
dalous, is now attracting public atten-
tion more than ever and has been
brought to the Taft commissions at
tention with requests for rectifcation.
The courts arc composed of four JUS
tices of the peace and four primary
courts. The magistrates are all Fill
pinos and developments have proved
that the incumbents are utter failures
as administrators of Justice Evidence
is in the hands of the authorities
which, IL Is claimed, will show that
the magistrates have been guilty of the
grossest corruption and malfeasance
in office. One magistrate was recently
suspended on suspicion of criminal
abuse of power and attempt to defraud.
The monthly collection Of fines of
the four native justices is estimated
at $4,000. They deposit less than 500
monthly and are alleged ~ appropri-
ate the balance OF their collections. Il
is further claimed that the magistrates
are in collusion with the native police
in compromising offenses on the basis
of cash for freedom" and that in many
Instances magistrates who committed
men to jail over year ago are now
liberating them without trial. 1t is
said that there are over so established
instances where prisoners have bought
their freedom from the guards convey
ing them between the court room and

TROUBLE OVER
REQUISITION
Say That Rockefeller Cannot
be EXtradited
NO PROOF OF CRIME SHOWN
Board Of Directors Of the Standard
Oil Company Wanted in
Texas
NO PROOF OF CRIME SHOWN

Albany, IN. Y, Oct. 12.-There was
quite a good deal of a mix up here yes
terday over an attempt to straighten
out the position Of the requisition of
Governor Sayre, Of Texas, for the per-
sons Of William Rockefeller and other
members Of the board Of directors Of
the Standard Oil company. Several
statements were given out variously
alleging that Governor Roosevelt or
Acting Governor Woodruff had taken
final action in the matter, but it is
definitely ascertained that the only
action taken in the case was by Judge
Joyce, the governors pardon clerk, who
merely gave to Governap Sayers' coun-
sci an opinion that unless his papers OF
requisition could state that the per-
sons wanted had been in the state of
Texas and had committed a crime there
they could not be taken from this state.
Judge Joyce gave this opinion to Mr..
Cullen Thomas, of Governor Sayers'
counsel, two weeks ago, when that gen.
tleman came here looking for the gov
ernor, and it was given on the ground
that decision Of Governor Flower,
made in 1894 in the same case, was
now the prevailing opinion. Governor
Flower had refused extradition asked
by Governor Hogg on the decision of
United States Supreme Court Judge
Harlan that a person could not be
taken to a state for trial unless hav-
ing committed a crime in that state in
person.
So far as Governor Roosevelt is con-
corned, he has not acted in the matter
because of absence from lne state. Mr.
Woodruff who is governor in Mr.
Roosevelt's absence, said; at does
not seem proper for me, as acting gov
ernor, to dispose Of such an important
case. A three weeks delay, to my
mind, would have but little effect
either one way or the other"
