ANOTHER RAID
 BY THE POLICE.
Quantity of Gambling Para phernaIia Secured and
 Three Men Arrested

A raid vas made on four rooms on the top floor of the Metropolitan annex last night and a large quantity of gambling paraphernalia was captured and three men placed under arrest on the charge of gaming.
 The raid was made by Officers Shirley Jordan, Nix, Baker, Philips and Culpep- per, who took the room by storm after stratergic move on the main office where the night clerk was taken in charge to prevent any possibility of an alarm.
 The clerk was held by Officer Baker while the other officers ascended to the top floor and finding the doors to the rooms securely fastened, burst one or them open. The four rooms were con nected and there was great consternation on the inside, and it is believed that a number of the men escaped.
 Two roulette wheels, a number of ta- bles, faro layouts, and other games were captured. with a quantity of cards and chips, all of which were taken to police headquarters.
 John Stay and John Harris, white, and George Stevens, colored, were placed un- der arrest and made bond for their ap- pearance in Police Court this morning.

BOTHA IS WEARY
 OF BLOODSHED
Wants to Meet Kitchener for the Purpose of Discuss
 ing the Situation

London, April 1.-The letter of General Botha, the Boer commander in chief, to Lord Kitchener, commanding the British forces in South Africa. preliminary to the recent peace meeting, casually referred to in Lieutenant General Kitcheners re- port of the negotiations and from which the opponents of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain hoped to obtain some clew of the recent failure of the conferences, was published as parliamentary paper this morning The letter is dated at the commandant generals camp, February 13, and says
 T have the honor to inform your ex- cellency that no one desires more than to bring this bloody strife to an end. I would also very much like to meet your excellency for the purpose of mutual dis cusson to see if 1t is not possible to dis cover terms under which this can be done"
 The remainder of the letter of General Botha merely suggests a place of meeting and arrangements for safe conduct.
 London, April 1.-The British casualties in South Africa for March were:
 Killed, nine officers and 103 men.
 Wounded, twenty-six officers and 27t men.

SAMPSON SAVED
 BY THE TELEPHONE
The Man Who Was Convicted of Forgery Again Escapes
 Imprisonment

Chicago, April 4.-Mchael J. Sampson, formerly chief clerk of the bureau Of special assessments, who was arrested in London. brought back and convicted sometime ago of forgery, was by vigorous use of the long distance telephone today saved for the time being at least, from entering upon his term of imprisonment in the Joliet penitentiary. The Supreme Court issued a mandate month ago re- fusing him new trial and ordering the sheriff to take him to the penitentiary at once. Shortly after noon today Judge Gibbons granted a writ of habeas corpus for Sampson, sstting his hearing for to- morrow. The writ was rushed over to the county jail, but the deputy sheriff and his prisoner had already departed and wild race in a cab through the down town streets to Union depot was without re- suit, as the train had just left. Sheriff Sagerstadt was then hunted for, finally found and the writ served on him. The long distance telephone to Joliet was called into use, the warden of the prison summoned to the wire and requested to stop the deputy and his prisoner at the door on their arrival this afternoon.
 Sampsons fight for liberty has been al- most as remarkable as that of former banker, F. S. Drever, and every legal re- source has been used to prevent his inn prisonment.

Vancouver. B. C.. April 4-According to advices brought by the Empress of Japan raids are reported from the neighborhood of Pao Ting and the Chinese authorities have no power to prevent them Marshal Von Waldersee is said to have issued or ders to the foreign garrison in Pao Ting to assume the offensive.
 On March 8 a collision took place near Pao Ting between German troops and 400 Chinese regulars. Of the latter 52 were killed

 The prosecution of D. M. Carman the American. accused at Manila of aiding the insurgents, remains in statu quo, says the Manila Times, though the case is be- ing gradually prepared for trial.
 It was learned that MT. Carman was brought before the secretary of the mill tary government. but beyond the fact that he was questioned and that some of his explanations were heard, nothing can be learned. From another source 1t Is learned that the safe belonging to Teo- doro Carranzas, which was brought from Pagoranjan by Lieutenant Vaughan re- cently was found. when opened, to con- tain a pile of most discriminating docu- ments.
 News from Corea says that mint build ings at Yong San were destroyed by fire on March 8. It is thought that the con- flagration was incendiary, the trouble eliminating in a strike of the workmen having recently occurred This mint was engaged in casting silver coins for the Corean government, and it is feared the loss suffered by the latter will be very heavy.

 Louisville

Louisville, Ky, April 4.-Gen. John B. Castleman who was colonel of the First Kentucky Regiment and was later ap- pointed by President Mckinley to be a brigadier general of volunteers, and Wal ter S. Forester, managing editor of the Louisville Commercial, fought on the street today. No blood was shed and the affair was quickly over. There had been bad feeling between them since the Spanish war when MT. Fores- ter was assistant adjutant general of Kentucky. They met face to face in Fourth avenue today, when General Cas- tleman struck Forester in the face For ester struck back and General Castleman fell to a half-recumbent position. Friends stepped between them and each of the combatants proceeded quickly to his of- flee.

WHITE LINEMEN
 LAY DOWN TOOLS They Refuse to Work With
 Negroes THIRTl-FIVE MEN ARE OUT 
Were Employed by Peoples Home Telephone Company-Matter Will
 Be Taken Before Trades
 Council Unless Settled.

Between thirty-five and forty linemen employed by the Peoples Home Tele- phone Company have gone on a strike the telephone company disposes of several negro linemen now at work in and around the city.
 The men who have quit work are mem- bers of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and are associated with the Birmingham Trades Council. It seems that the constitution of the organi- zation expressly provides that no negroes shall be allowed working cards, or, in other words cannot become members of the brotherhood
 Some time ago the Peoples Telephone Company employed several negro line men, and as they are not union men the white linemen have refused to work with them.
 A committee composed of F. Woods, H. Smith and E. w. Bullock called on MT. Pazack, the superintendent of construc- ton of the telephone company, yesterday and asked him to remove the negro line men. One of the strikers said last night that the Superlntenuent refused lo hsleh to their demands and they consequently laid down their tools
 The matter will be brought to the at tention of the Trades Council at a meet ing to be held next Sunday and the union linemen say they expect some action to be taken in their behalf They claim that they were being paid s225 per day and that the negroes are paid $15O per day for the same work.
 As result of the strike local construc- tion work has been partially suspended but the regular operation of the telephone lines has not been interferred with.

WANTS REMAINS ExHuMED.
Lady Cook Desires No Question as To
 How Her Husband Died.

London, April 4.-The Echo says it un- derstands that in consequence of certain unpleasant rumors. Lady Cook, widow of Sir Francis Cook (formerly Tennie c. Claf1in), has applied to the home secre tary to have the body of Sir Francis ex- humed. Sir Francis Cook died on Febru ary 1T.
 Friends of Lady Cook say that false stories have been circulated by a person not related to Sir Francis but who was disappointed at not being remembered in his will. Lady Cook desired that the exact cause of her husbands death, which was senile decay Che was S4 years of age at the time of his death), shall be officially certified, so that hereafter, in the event of her death, nothing can be alleged against her. The relations ber tween Lady Cook and her late husbands family are quite cordial.
 Lady Cook who is living in Kensington, London, made the following statement to the representative of the Associated Press this evening:
 Since the death of my husband there has come to my knowledge a very thor OuBHly ldiu pidIl, Coilceileu bCiOio 'iAS death, to attack his reputation for the purpose of blackmail. It was about to be put into execution when he died. Some parties to the conspiracy expected to secure large amounts of money during his life. His suddend end prevented a fulfllment of these hopes. The con- spiracy reached a culmination by the cir culation of rumors that Sir Francis died an unnatural death and owed his demise to me, the conspirators hoping in this fashion to blackmail me.
 Had INaot been a woman of world wide reputation I could have afforded to let these calumnies die. My own health is extremely poor; should I die now these lies might go on forever. I have there fore resolved to refute them now.
 T propose to go to the full limit of an autopsy if necessary In order that the world may know how baselSSs these stories are. In this l have the full CO., operation of all my step children"

RUSSIA WON'T PARTICIPATE.
Recall of Fleet From Touion Is Caus-
 ing Comment.

Berlin, April 4.-The recall of the Russian fleet from Toulon is consid- cred here to denote Russia's desire not to participate in the festivities in which, though she is the ally of France, she would have less share of attention than Italy.
 A semi-official note issued this after noon says:
 Germany has in no wise attempted to interfere with the Franco-Italian meeting at Toulon. She regards Italy's appearance there as a mere call of politeness in return for the French naval visit to Cagliario.
 Germany has reason to believe that Russia also regards the departure of the Russian fleet from Toulon as de- signed solely not to hinder the free exchange of Franco-Italian civilities."
 The Berliner Post, in the course of an obviously inspired article this even ing, gives expression to similar opin- ions.

Wilmington, Del, April 4. The New York and Texas Steamship Compary's steamer Denver was launched today from the Harlan and Hollingsworth Compan, $ yard. In the christening, instead of breaking a bottle of wine over the vessels prov, the imperial Japanese custom of le- leasing white doves from box as he steamer started from the ways was fol- lowed. Miss Mary P. Mallory, daughter of the president of the Mallory Line, re- leased the trap of the box in which the doves were confined.

ROBERT MASON ARRIVES.
Noted Counterfeiter Ready To Serve
 Out His Sentence.

Columbus, O., April 4.-Robert Ma son, alias A. J. Martin, one of the most noted counterfeiters in the country and probably the last of the old Miles Ogle gang, which years ago gave the secret service officers so much trouble, arrived at the penitentiary tonight to serve a ten years sentence for coun- terfeiting. This is Mason's fourth term and will probably be his last. He is past the age of so years. The fed eral grand jury returned an indictment against Mason at Cincinnati this after noon. He was at once arraigned be- fore Judge Thompson and pleaded guilty. He made a long statement to the court, in which he admitted his previous crimes and terms in the peni- tentiary and said he could not resist the temptation to resume work as soon as out of prison.

Washington, April 4.-Although so far without official confirmation, the report that the Spanish Council ap- proved the draft of the new treaty of commercial friendship between the united States and Spain finds credence here. It is believed that American imports to Spain. which, since the war, have paid almost prohibitory maxi mum duties, will secure substantial reductions that will result in enlarged trade. t .s-.4z..as

Question of Dealing With the Guilty
 In China Is Vexinq.

Berlin, April 4.-The Pekin correspond ent of the Frankfurter zeitung wires the substance of an interview he has had with the German minister to China, Dr. Mumm von Schwartzenstein, who is rep resented as having said
 Great difficulty is caused by this ques- tion of punishing the guilty. Russia will not abandon Prince Yuan because she owes Manchuria to him. It is impossible to designate Prince Yuan as a rebel, inas- much as the Empress Dowager is still too powerful She will continue to direct with Prince Yuan China's future fate
 The developments regarding Prince Tuan's negotiations with Russia fully ex- plain the impossibility for Russia to abandon him."

Cleveland, O.. April 4.-Thirty- car penter contractors have agreed to turn down the demand of the Carpenters Union for an increase In wages of 5 cents an hour. They are willing to pay 30 cents an hour. If this offer is not accepted the contractors threaten to employ non union men,
 The offer of 30 cents has already been refused by most of the union men who are now on strike on all work on which the concessions demanded have not been made to them The result promises to be one of the largest strikes which the build ing trades has ever had in this city.
