Tramps are a Nuisance.

Tramps are becoming an intolerable
nuisance in Dover. The town is over
run with them, begging daily from
house to house for food. Most of them
are strong, healthy-looking fellows,
able, but too lazy to work. Their pres
ence is menace to the safety of wom-
en- and children left alone, and the
officers should be more diligent in rid
ding the town of these worthless fell
lows. The proper thing to do is to be
ON the outlook for tramps and as soon
as they make their appearance in town
give them notice to leave at once. If
they fail to do so, arrest them and put
them to work ON the streets. When it
becomes noisened around that tramps
are made to work in Dover, they will
give the town a wide berth.

a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell

FOR REJECTED APPLICATIONS
THIRTEEN THOUSAND CASES RE-
JECTED BY THE INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT TODAY
THESE COULD BE REVIEWED
COmmnnder-in-Chie Shaw and Gen.
Daniel Sfckles Are Pushing the
Measure-Chance for
Action.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Efforts are
to be made by the Grand Army of the
Republic to secure legislation providing
for the creation of pension court of
appeals, which is to pass finally on
applications for pensions rejected by the
pension Office and interior department.
Gen. A. D. Shaw, the Communicating
chief of the Grand Army, and Gen. Dan
iel Sickles, of the Grand Army, have the
matter in charge and are in Washington
preparing the final draft Of the bill,
which is to be submitted to the president
and to other legal authority before It's
presentation to congress. This will be
done in a very short time. There are
1900 cases which have been rejected by
the interior department, and these, in
addition TO others that arise from time
to time, will be referred to the new
court. Gen. Shaw believes that favorable
action can be secured on the measure at
the present session Of congress, and its
enactment, he says, Will determine final
ly the cases coming before it and will
remove the necessity for special legisla-
ton by congress except in few instances.

CAPE NOME LAND GRANTS
Aimed at In Little Bill Which
Hermann Turns Down.

Aimed at In a Little Bill Which
Hermann Turns Down.
WASHINGTON, April S.-several bills
which have been introduced in congress
have been referred to Commissioner Her.
mann, Of the general land office, for his
judgment as to their merits One of
these provides that exclusive leases for
mining purposes may be granted to lands
within the territory of the United States
which lie below high-water mark 1t
is proposed to grant exclusive leases
upon condition that a bond OF 5000 be
given to insure proper fulfillment of the
agreement
Commissioner Hermann reports adverse
ly on this bill, for the reason that. while
Cape Nome is not specifically mention
ed in it, the evident intent is to make it
apply there. 1t is held to be contrary to
the policy of the United States govern
ment to grant exclusive leases of this
character to gold fields, and the pro-
viso in regard TO 5000 bond would op-
crate to exclude poor miners from Sc
curing grants.
Another bill upon which adverse report
is made provides for leasing pubic lands
in the arid regions for grazing purposes.
Adverse report also has been made
upon a somewhat similar bill of a more
general and far-reaching nature. which
provides for leasing any available public
lands for grazing. The commissioner SAYS
that the courts have held such action
to be contrary to the custom of hum
dred years, which permits the free use
of such lands by any one and states
that in his Judgment The time has not
come to overturn this policy

ELY COGHLAN DEAD.
SISTER OF ROSE, AND HERSELF
AN ACTRESS, GONE.

NEW YORK, April Silly Coghlan,
the actress, sister of Rose and Charles
Coghlan, died at Stamford, Conn.,, early
this morning, aged thirty-six years. A
short time ago she went to Rochester
to visit friends, and while there was
taken i'll with measles. She returned to
this city in poor health.
In a little while she again fell i'll here
and her sister and brother-in-law, John
T. Sullivan, engaged trained nurses to
take care Of her Her malady developed
into pneumonia. She was taken to Belle
vue hospital.
Tuesday morning she was removed to
Stamford, Conn. There was no chance
for recovery, however and she sank rap
idly. Rose Coghlan. after finishing her
part on the stage here Saturday night
hurried for Stamford and reached her
sisters bedside fifteen minutes before her
death and while she was still conscious
Ely Coghlan was the second daughter
and youngest child of Charles Francis
and Anna Maria Coghlan, of Peterboro,
England. Charles. the eldest, died a
short time ago; Francis, the second son,

British, who did not have time to recover
from their surprise.
CLEVERNESS VS.. CARELESSNESS.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Times, discussing the affair, says:
"All the details only serve to bring out
clearly the marvellous cleverness of the
Beers, no less than the marvellous care
lessness and improvidence of the British
officers, whom, it would seem, no series
of disasters will teach to keep wide
awake.
"The Beers in Col. Broadwoods rear
drove his force into the party at the
drift, exactly as partridges are driven to.
a gun. At the drift itself, as each wagon
descended the hollow, 1t was shown which
way to drive, so as not to block the
convoy. When the guns arrived the trap
was all clear again for their reception.
AS one who was present said: "It was
like a cloak room. The Beers politely
took your rife and asked you to kindly
step to one side. There was nothing
else to do.
The American scout, Burnham, testif1es
to the terrific pace with which the Boer
commanders cover the ground and the
ease with which they change positions.
The Beers are displaying activity in
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-09

the Boer leaders in conference at Reit-
fontein failed probably, as usual, be-
cause of the lack of cavalry. The re-
suits of these serious checks to the Brit
ish arms is that the whole Free State is
up again, and that the Beers are full of
activity over the the entire field.
A belated Boer dispatch says that
bayonets were being made for the for
eign legion under the late Gen. de Vile
bois Mareuil The Beers are boasting
that the Colesberg and Stormberg COM
mandoes, numbering 5000, with ten can
non and $50 wagons. have gotten safely
through, thus performing a magnificent
strategic feat
A Boer account of the Bloemfontein
water works affair says:
Col. Broadwood evacuated Thaba
N'Chu owing to the advance Of Comman-
dant Olivier from the south. The federal
troops found the British camp in peace
full slumber, without sentinel or an out
