KRUGER ALONE OPPOSED 1T.
At Recent Conference the Boer Counsel.
ors Advised Immediate Reprisals In
Return for British Executions.

Vienna, Oct. 23.--The Poster Lloyd
says it learns from The Hague that
Kruger, Leyds, Vessels, Wolmarans
and Fischer held a council of war ut
Villa Carracasa, to consider what an
swer is to be made by the Beers to
the executions in South Africa. They
have no doubt that diplomatic pro-
tests are inadequate. All present at
the meeting except Mr.. Kruger, says
the report, advised immediate repri-
sals-that for every Doer prisoner ex-
ecuted a captured British officer be
shot. Mr.. Kruger opposed this plan
on the ground that he did not wish to
give the campaign the character of
a war between savages, although it
had already become a war of extermi-
nation.

CALLS FOR A PRIEST
czolgosz, as the End Approaches,
Seeks Spiritual Consolation.
He Was Early In Life Baptized Roman
Catholic, But Now He Refuses To
Give Up the Teachings of
Anarchy.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. 33.-Leon Czol-
gosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinlcy, who is awaiting electrocution
in the prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, fully real
izing that his death is now question
of few days, has asked for spiritual
consolation and yesterday afternoon
received visit from Rev. L. Szardin-
ski, a Polish priest of the Roman
Catholic church. CZolgosz's request
for priest of his own nationality
was made known to Warden Mead in
the morning. Father Szardinski,
who is pastor of the st. Stanislaus
church, Rochester, was in this city at
tending the forty hours devotion of
st. Alphonsus church and was asked
to visit the prisoner. Yesterday
afternoon he went to the prison and
remained there about an hour. Dur
ing the interview Czolgosz said that
he had been baptized in the Roman
Catholic faith i'm the Polish church
in Detroit. He had abandoned the
church early in life and had lost all
faith in it's teachings. Father Szardin-
ski urged him to renounce his belief
in anarchy and return to the faith OF
his early years. Czolgosz declared his
inability to do so. and he was in
formed that unless he could the con-
ISOLATION of the church would be de-
MED him. The priest urged the con-
demned man to consider the matter
carefully. CZolgosz assured Father
Szardinski that in case he determined
to accept the offices of religion he
would send for him. but he did not
hold out much hope that he would re-
nounce the doctrines of anarchy.
When State Superintendent OF
Prisons Collins was here he had n long
talk with Czolgosz, President McKin-
ley's murderer. Czolgosz refused to
admit any acquaintance with promi-
nent anarchists. "Why did you kill
the president?" Czolgosz was asked
swell, got tired of his going around
talking about prosperity. 1 did not
see any of it. L could not get job"
did you ever ask the president for
work." Eyes, 1 saw him at Canton
and asked for job, but he told me
he could do nothing for me-" did
YOU ask anyone else for a job?"
"Yes, / asked several people, but
could not get anything to do"
1t has been stated that CzolgOsz had
read several books from the prison
library. This is not true, as he can
neither read nor write. He told SUI
perintendent Collins that he had never
attended public or parish school,
nor church of any denomination.

There died in Vienna the other day
a woman who claimed to be the cham
pion man-hater of the world. This
was her boast during her lifetime,
and as yet her title stands undisputed.
Marie in her will decreed that no
male person should have anything to
do with her burying. She must be
laid out, preached over, and carried
to the Genet cry by women, a woman
must shovel dirt on the box other
women had hailed her up in, and her
gravestone must be chiseled by a
