DEWET REPORTED DEAD.

Letter From Prominent Boer States That
Boer General SuccunlDed to a Wound.
General Dewets recent inactivity
has produced the impression among
military men that he is either dead or
incapacitated through illness or
wounds. According to letter from
Pretoria. prominent Boer recently
wrote friend there relating the ter
rible hardships suffered by the Beers
in the field, especially from lack of
surgeons.
"Dewet, for example," wrote the
Boer, suffered the most terrible agony
before he died. He was wounded in
the shoulder by splinter from a shell,
and the wound gangrened in conse-
quence OF 1T being dressed with dirty
rags"
Five Beers captured at different
places recently said Dewet was dead,
but gave a different version of his
death
Against these reports is a statement
of Piet De Villiers, the field cornet re-
Gently taken prisoner in the north
eastern part of the Orange River Col
ony, who said that on the morning of
his capture he took breakfast with
General Dewet.

Big steamers Collide at Seattle.

The Oriental liner kaga Maru and
the German steamship Elba collided
off Five Mile Point, Seattle, in dense
fog. The Elba tore hole in the Kaga'
Maru's hull seven feet in width, but
above the water line. The injured
vessel succeeded in reaching port in
safety Both vessels had loolkouts sta
toned, but owing to the fog neither
could see the approaching steamer
until they were 100 close together to
avert collision. The kaga Maru mar
rowly escaped being sent TO the bottom

DON'T LIKE CONSTITUTION.
Boston Reformed Presbyterian Church
Suspsnds Member For Becoming
Citizen of the United States.

Citizen of the United States.
James jackson of Cambridge, Mass,
who was suspended from membership
in the Second Reformed Presby byterian
church because in becoming an Ameri-
can citizen he took the oath to uphold
the constitution of the United States,
proposes to fight the ruling.
The case is probably one of the
strangest of its kind ever called to the
attention of the people of Massachu-
sets. DR.. jackson is a Scotchman
by birth, but now, after ten years
here, he has taken out naturalization
papers.
Rev. j. NJ Foster, pastor of the
church from which jackson was
ssuspe nded, is quoted as making the
following statement Is regard to the
case:
''We look upon the constitution of
the United States as an immoral docu-
ment and an insult TO the Almighty,
In that it makes no mention whatever
Of God, and claims for the people that
sovereign power which belongs to God
alone. We refuse to accept the con-
stitution thus defective and cannot
swear allegiance to it,"

Panama Canal Company Would Sell to the
United States.

Maurice Hutin, president of the board
of directors of the Panama Canal COM
pany, arrived in Washington Wednes-
day. He called upon Admiral Walker,
chairman of the Isthman Canal COM
mission, for the purpose of bringing
about the disposition of the Panama
company's interest in that partly con-
structed waterway.
The Isthmian Canal commission has
endeavored to obtain positive and
direct statement of what the Panama
company would accept for it's rights.
and Mr.. Hutin's return to France this
summer was for the purpose of obtain
ing information on that point. 1t is
understood that he has now PROPOSE
tion to make to the United States COM
mission, but along what lines 1t is inn
possible to ascertain, as Mr.. Hutin
refuses to be interviewed concerning IL
before acquainting the commission
with the results of his mission.

Annie Rogers, alias Maude Williams,
aged 26, is in the custody OF the police
at Nashville, Tenn, and General Su-
perintendent Taylor of the Pinkerton
agency at Chicago, who is in Nashville,
believes her arrest will lead to the ap-
prehension of the gang which, on July
3rd last, held up Great Northern ex-
press train near Wagner, Mont, secur-
ing over S4o,o 900 in bank notes. He
hopes also to recover much of the stolen
money. A large portion of the bank
bills were unsigned by officials of the
bank at Helena, to which they were
consigned.
The woman came under suspicion by
her actions at the Fourth National
bank Monday afternoon, when she
presented a large roll of new bills of
small denomination, asking for large
bills in return. Noting the bills close
ly, the teller became suspicious, aud
while she was engaged in conversation
the police were notified and arrest fol-
lowed. When arrested the woman
refused to make any explanation of
where the $3.50 In her possession came
from.
The bills were on the Helena bank.
and, though signed, the serial numbers
coincide with those given in the Pin.
kerton circular advertisement of the
robbery. A warrant was sworn out
against the woman, charging her with
attempting to pass forged bank notes
She declined to tell of herself further
than to assert that she was born In
vile Sunday night, from where she
will not say.

Vigilance of n Lieutenant Saves Soldiers In

Owing to the vigilance of Lieutenant
Thomas NJ. Baines, Jr., of the Ninth
United States infantry, another mas
sacre of American troops by the in
surgents has been averted. 1t seems
that Lieutenant Baines discovered q

confined, through hole that had been
made in the wall. An investigation
showed plan to fill the Jail with bolo-
men and to call the guard, which would
be necessary to get the door open, and
then attack the garrison. 1t also de-
veloped that the instigators were n

QUESTIONS TO COME BEFORE
NATIONAL LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION
The Division of Ranges Between Cattle
men and sheepnen and other Import
ant Matters VIII be Considered.

ant Matters WIN be Considered.
Martin D. Madden has been selected
as chairman of the committee on ar
rangements for the fifth annual con-
yention of the National livestock
association, which will meet in Chicago
the first week in December.
There is unusual interest in this
meeting, for the reason that the con-
vention will take up some important
questions which will be referred to
congress. The stockmen, it is said,
will ask congress to appoint special
committee to investigate conditions up
on the public ranges and report back
plan for the future government of the
ranges in such way that the conflicts
between sheep and cattle grazers may
be averted. Ranges are becoming so
overcrowded that the struggle for grass
is resulting in almost daily conflicts,
in which bloodshed Is becoming alto
gether too frequent.
Another important question to be
considered is bill providing for gov
ernment inspection and the tagging of
all wool manufactures, to show the
percentage of "shoddy" and cotton
used in all alleged wooden fabrics.
These, and other questions fully as inn
portant, are expected to draw to this
meeting the largest gathering of stock
men in the history of the country.
Mr.. Madden will select committee
OF prominent business men to assist
him in providing entertainment for
the visitors. AS the International Live
Stock exposition will be IN session at
the same time, it is expected there will
be over hundred thousand stockmen

Ten Are Slain and SIX Wounded by In
surgents on the Island of samar.
The following brief cablegram from
General chaffee, reporting the fight OF
the Ninth infantry in Samar Wednes-
day, was received at the war depart
ment Friday afternoon:
"Manila, Oct. 1s.-Corbin, Adjutant-
General, Washington: Forty-six men,
company E, Ninth regiment, Ninth
United States infantry, under First
Lieutenant George w. Wallace, in field,
Lower Canadara, Samar, were attacked
by 300 bolomen, October 1s. Our loss,
ten killed, six wounded; names not re-
ceived. Eighty-one of the enemy left
dead on the field. Enemy beaten off,"
Another dispatch says the remainder
of the company arrived on the scene in
time to prevent further slaughter and
routed the enemy, killing over hun
dred of them. II is believed that the
enemy only retired for reinforcements.
As soon as the news was received at
Catbalogan two gunboats were dis
patched, General Smith going in per-
son to the scene.
The war department officials were
somewhat dismayed at the press report
of the new setback ON the island of
Samar. They had no confirmation
from official sources of the report, but
this was true of the last affair of the
kind, which happened at Balangiga
The Ninth infantry, which suffered
there, was the same organization that
engaged in the latest fight at Banga-
jon.

Eiks' Teeth Pass as Money in Wyoming.

Elks' teeth are becoming the fnan-

try, just south of the Yellowstone park.
They are accepted in exchange for wet

and in this manner large numbers of
teeth have been accumulated and liquor
dealers are laying up large sums from
the sale OF teeth to jewellers and agents,
who dispose of the tusks to members
of the Elk fraternity Every four tusks
represent the death of one bull elk.
Cow elks do not have tusks.
The recent article in Outing concern
ing the slaughter of elk in this state
is attracting widespread attention
among the state papers, and especially
those published in the game regions,
