BRITISH FORCE HAS
TAKEN PETERSBURG
TURE-BOERS ALSO TAKE
SOME PRISONERS.

LONDON, April 9.-Lord Kitchenor re-
porting to the war office under date of
Pretoria, April s, says:
''Plumer has occupied Petersburg with
slight opposition. He captured two loco
motives and thirty nine trucks. He took
sixty prisoners, capturing a seven pound
er and destroying 2lOC0O cartridges, 1000
rounds of seVen-pounder ammunition anj
a considerable amount of powder and
dynamite
The capture of Petersburg is regarded
here as important. The place is the
terminus of the railroad and has been the
capital of the Boer government since
the evacuation of Pretoria. The whole
northern railway is now in the hands of
the British.
According to Lord Kitchener's dispatch,
only one officer and one man were killed.
The Beers evacuated the town during
the night prior to Plumer's arrival, after
blowing up two trucks laden with am
muniton Lord Kitchener further re-
ports the capture of sixteen prisoners,
fifty horses and the depot of war stores
at Boshmanskop, Orange river colony.
AS an offset the comn!ander-in-chtnf
reports that a detachment of a hundred
men of the Fifth lancers and imperial
yeomenary were attacked by 400 Beers
to the northward of Aberdeen, Cape
Colony, and that after several hours
fighting the British were surrounded and
captured, with the exception of twenty
FIVE who succeeded in making their
escape.

NO AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACH
ED IN THE INDIANA BLOCK
COAL DISTRICT
STICK ON PRICE OF POWDER
OPERATORS REFUSE TO GIVE IN,
AND MINERS ARE EQUALLY
STUBBORN
NATIONAL OFFICERS ANXIOUS
Fear That the Disagreement in the
Brazil Mines Means the Begin
ming of a Long and Cost
ly Tie-Up.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 9-The national
executive committee of the United Mine
Workers continued its work all day.
According to a statement given out at
national headquarters the condition of
affairs in the block coal fields of Indiana
is extremely critical and all the mines
are closed.
The powder question is still the cause
of all the trouble, and it is said that the
miners are unanimous in their attitude.
The clause in the agreement between the
miners and the operators recently made
concerning the price of powder has praC-
tically precipitated a strike at Linton. a
strike which violates any articles of an
agreement will not receive the support
cf the national organization, and a strike
among the block coal men may encour-
age the bitumnous coal miners, who
nave already evinced tendency to evade
certain regulations contained in the
agreement reached at Terre Haute.
WITH ANXIOUS EYES.
The situation in Indiana is attracting
the attention of the national officers as
sembled here, and they await the out
come with anxiety. President Van Horn
of the bituminous miners organizati- n,
was expected to make a report on the
conditions of the bituminous fields this
afternoon, but failed to arrive. The Off
GERS of the Block Miners association
were in consultation with the operators
at Brazil this afternoon. Clay county
contains nearly all the block mines in
the state and the miners number nearly
5000 members.
The national committee tonight wired
the committee of miners at Brazil that
it could not advise them to sign contracts
unless the powder question was elimnat-
ed. This telegram was read at a joint
meeting of miners and operators at Bra
zil and caused an adjournment.
The operators refuse to recede A
strike is now on and long lockout is
predicted.
Miners say they agreed to accept last
years scale as provided for by the Co
lumbus agreement, which the operators
refuse to concede, while the operators
contend that the miners are on strike
by refusing to accept the scale as agreed
upon in District II.

In the Loughborou0h case. He
said in that connection that the power
Of congress over territory does nol cease
when 1t is organized and brought under
the United States, but that he did recog
nize that there is a distinction in the
control under the differing circumstances.
The Solicitor General then discussed
at some length the different uses OF the
words United States He was fol-
lowed by Attorney General briggs, who
IN the course OF bis address said: Barr
ing the stipulations of treaty and the
construction of personal rights, there is
no difference between the status OF
and Arizona
While the Attorney General was dis
nussing the rights Of Congress TO levy
taxes, Justice Brewer interrupted to ask
If, in the opinion of the Attorney Gem

Constitution to have one tariff rate in
the States and another In the territories.

that IL was.
