BR0DRICK THREATENS B0ERS
Government VIII Take No Hall
Measures in Settling War.

London, Dec. lin speaking at
Glasgow tonight Mr.. Br0drick, the
Secretary of State for War, referred
to Lord Kitchener's report upon the
shooting of blacks by the Beers. Mr..
Brodrick said that this report made
it perfectly clear that these murders
were not committed in moments of
passion, but were part of an organized
system to cover the tracks of the enc
my and to prevent possible informa-
ton of their whereabouts.
Dealing with present aspects of the
war, Mr.. Brodrick said Beers had
accepted parole and broken it and that
there would be no repetition of such
actions. Within recent weeks Boer
commanders had shown less regard
for the laws of war than up to the
present time. and these bandits would
before long reach a crisis when they
could no longer be treated as belliger-
ents.
The speaker said that government
was for no half measures in securing a
settlement and that any fresh negotia-
tions must emanate from the Beers.
Mr.. Brodrick confirmed the govern
ment,s decision which had already
been announced, viz, to break UP the
unhealthy concentration camps and re-
move the overflow of concentrates to
the coasts, where attempts would be
made to provide them with more per-
manent shelters

own Death Wound From One.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 11.-To-day
when officers J. C. James and Herman
Youngest attempted to arrest an al
legged buneo steerer, Sid Preacher. the

the first fire he mortally wounded
James, who fell. He then fired at
Youngst, knocking him down and was
on top of him beating the officer when
James raised himself from the gutter
and fired three times, killing Preacher.
James and Youngst died within the
same moment.
Preacher was well known to the po-
lice and had been arrested frequently.
The police have been watching him
closely during carnival week. With
shotgun on his shoulder he went to
the police to-day and complained that
they were interfering with his busl-
ness. The police attempted to arrest
him, when he opened fire on them.
Several hundred people saw the duel.
Tonight a warrant was sworn out
by the deputy chief Of police for j. +.
Breckman Preacher attorney, charg-
ing him with murder, and he has been
placed i'm jail. 1t is charged by the
police that the attorney advised
Preacher to use shotgun in case any
attempt was made to arrest him. Late
in the afternoon boy with two shot
guns and a large number of buckshot
cartridges, which he said he was car
rying to Breckman's Office was ar
rested and the arms confiscated.

five, which has been prosecuting the

ity.
Il shall always believe James VIII
cox instrumental in my daughters dis
appearance. If dead, believe his hand
or his hireling responsible. Some time
when this life shall cease and we shall
stand before the presence of the Great
Judge. l believe we shall learn how
and when he murdered my daughter
and that the justice he may escape
here will be dealt him then.

Southern Republicans Not Agreed
on Crumpacker Bill.

on Crumpacker Bill.
Washington, Dec. ia conference
of Southern Republicans in Congress
was held here tonight at which were
present Senators McComas of Mary
land and Pritchard of North Carolina,
and members of the House from West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Missouri and Maryland. The
chief feature discussed related to the
apportionment of representation from
the South, with particular reference to
Mr.. Crumpacker's bill, which seeks to
reduce the South's representation on
the ground that the negro is deprived
OF his vote The discussion was en-
tirely informal in character and no ac-
ton was taken by the conference. The
talk showed that the members were
not entirely in accord on the question
of their attitude with respect to the
bill. Senaor Pritchard declared his
positive opposition to II. Another
meeting will be held next Wednesday
night, at which II is expected some
agreement will be reached as to what
course the Republicans from the South
will adopt on the measure when 1t
comes up in the Republican caucus.
The Southern Republicans hope soon
TO perfect an organization for the pro-
lection of the interests of that section
coming before Congress.

GOOD MOVE FOR BRUNSWICK.
Representative Brnntley Trying for
an Inside uOute From the Alta
maha.

maha.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Representaive
Brantley, was at the War Department
to-day to see the chief of engineers.
Gen. Gillespie, relative to obtaining an
inside passage way for river boats over
the Altamaha to Brunswick. The Oco
nee and the Ockmulgee rivers form
the Altamaha, and all three of these
rivers are navigable, and have boats
plying on them. At present the only
outlet for these boats to the ocean is
at Darien, the mouth of the Altamaha
river, at which point they can make
no connection with New York
The result is that these boats
endeavor to get to Brunswick
where they can make their New York
connections, but the only way they can
get to Brunswick is through st,
Simons' sound, which is too rough for
them and several of them have been
lost in the sound. Capt. Gillette, en-
gineer in charge of the Savannah dis
trict, says it is entirely feasible to con-
meet the Altamaha river with Bruins
wick by an inside route that will not
cost more than $4,000. He says he has
been over the route, and all that is
necessary to be done is to connect
Plantation and Club creeks which can
be done for that sum. 1t is Representa-
tive Brantley'S desire to do away with
the calling for survey preliminary to
having this work done, as the survey
is unnecessary and would only delay
the work a year or two longer. 1t has
been customary to require such pre-
liminary survey. However. since his
conference with the chief of engineers,
he hopes that by going through the
current session in advance of the river
and harbor bill, calling for specific in
formation from the engineers about
this project, he may obviate the neces-
sity of the survey, and he will offer
such concurrent resolution at the next
meeting of the House.
