KRueEn TALKS 10 REDMOND.
Says He Regards. Irish as Brothers i,
Oppression.

London, Aug. 19.-The Freeman's
Journal of Dublin publishes an inter-
view between Kruger and William Red
mond in Hilverson, Holland, in the
course of which the former president Of
the South Afrocan republic, expressing
gratitude for Irish support, said he re-
garded the Irish as .brothers in oppres-
sion," and urged the nationalist mem-
sbers of the British parliament to con-
tinue their efforts in the cause of JUS
tice and truth" When asked concern
ing the effect Of Lord Kitchener's re-
cent proclamation and of Chamber
Ilain's speeches. Kruger said:
My people are not to be frightened by
such proclamations or speeches They
will only encourage them to continue
fighting. The British have used armed
natives against the burghers from the
beginning, but we have not used armed
kaffirs. 1t has always been against our
principles to use the black men against
the white,
Kruger emphatically denied the exist
ence of a Dutch conspiracy against Brit
ish influence in South Africa. When
asked regarding Great Britain's promise
as to treatment Of the Beers after sur
render, he said:
II know Great Britain's promises. You
in Ireland ought also to know them.
The British promise to lend US money to
put things right. Then. II it were not
repaid, our land would be taken. They
ask US to allow rope to be put around
our necks and to call that freedom. We
should be slaves"
After expressing his firm conviction
that God, in good time. would give the
Beers deliverance. he remarked: Even
now we could rebuild our country. but
to do so we must have full independ-
ence." He emphasized the word full"
When asked about farm burning and
the concentration camps, he exclaimed:
why do they fight women and chill
dren? There are our own men to fight
against. do not believe the British
people know what is being done in their
name. If they did know. they would
stop IT." Kruger said nothing had been
definitely settled on the subject of
visit to the United States. According tc
Redmond his appearance bellies the idea
that he is breaking up, either mentally
or physically

Brussels, Aug. 19.-The Petit Bleu

reserves the right to have recourse to

The fact that Phillips is to be put for

the Sixth district adds interest to the
attitude of the Jasper county delegation
which is headed by Gen. James B. Wea-

would like to go on the ticket as a can

FAST CRESCEUS
LOWERS RECORD
Worlds Trotting Time
on Half-Mile Track
Surpassed.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 11.-Cresceus this
afternoon lowered the worlds trotting
record on a half-mile track a quarter Of
a second. The record was previously held
by himself, having been made on the To-
ledo track a year ago, 1t was 2:09A. He
trotted for the benefit of the charitable
institutions of the city and more than
40 700 people gathered to see him. The re-
ceipts were SIS 900.
Cresceus got a very slow start. and Mike
the Tramp, the running mate, led Cresceus
to the first turn, when he pulled out and
Cresceus swung in the trail With the run
ner at the wheel CresceuS buckied down to
the work in hand. On they went in the
same relative positions and they passed
the quarter in 52ih. AS he made the turn
into the home stretch for the first half
mile there was deafening applause from
the thrOng, but CTesceus only increased his
speed. They flashed under the wire at the
half just one minute and four and a half
seconds after the word had been given.
The three-quarter pole was reached at
1861
Then they came into the stretch again,
and the runner pushed the stallion a lit
tie harder, Ketcham calling him TO
even greater eXeTt1ons and finally swung
the whip over his back, careful, however
that not even the snapper touched the
velvety skin. The horses went under the
wire in 2:0915, which is the fastest mile
ever trotted on half mile track.

STOCKTON, Oct. u.-At the close of
twenty hot rounds, Referee Ed Smith of
the Reliance Club, Oakland, tonight gave
Jack O'Brien of New York the decision
over Rufe Turner, the Stockton fighter
The men fought at 1873 pounds and gave
pretty battle from start to finish, with
honors even, according to general opinion
but the referee decided for O'Brien. Tur-
ner laid back the first six rounds and
made a waiting fight, with O'Brien bor-
ing in at all times. After the sixth it
was give and take.
O'BTien showed clever blocking and ring
generalship, but did not have the force to
give knockout blow at any time. He
worked at Turner's stomach during the
entire fight, but the colored fighter was as
fresh at the close as his white opponent
The only Touchdown in the fight was in
the eighteenth round, when Turner
slipped and O'Brien caught him a short
left in the stomach. The colored boy took
the count. Turner's mistake was in lay
ing UP the first six rounds in an effort to
protect his friends, who bet on the second
line. In that time O'Brien obtained a big
lead on points
