ENGL1sHMEN ON SITUATION
IN CAPE COLONY.
TREACHERY AND ESPIONAGE
Two Former Colonial Officials Ad-
dress London Meeting Of
Liberal Leaders.

London, April, pa. X. Merriman,
the former treasurer of Cape Colony
and who is now a representative Of
the Afrikander buEd in England.
speaking at a meeting of the leaders
of the liberals today against aggres-
sion and m%ilitarisn said that military
law, the abnegation Of all law. was
established in Cape Colony. The news
papers had not heard of the treach-
cry and espionage going on. Respec-
table people were arrested on the evil
dence of natives alone. They were
brought up and fined on harmless OBJ
servations, called 'seditious" and the
town guards harried them. This com
plant caused greater irritation and
indignation than open violence. The
police was deliberately stopped and
four editors had been sent to Jail. The
friends of the police would be bitter
as the memory of their insults touched
the hearts of the people.
Merriman detailed instances OF the
punishment of the Dutch under mill
tary law, usually on the testimony
of natives and employees. He men
TONED an instance of a cheeky girl
being fined for saying things against
the town guards. Martial law and
the censorship throughout Cape Colo
ny prevented the people of england
knowing the hardships of the Dutch.
Fol an Englishman, MI. Merriman
said, he viewed the policy in Cape
Colony with the blankest .dismay. If
persisted in South Africa was lost to
the British empire. The thing that
could say it was the recognition OF
the fact that the people wanted self.
have it.
j. w. Sawyer, former commissioner
of public works Of Cape Colony, said
the camps in which the Boer women
and children we're kept were guardeu
by sentries with loaded rifles and fixed
bayonets. A majority OF the women
had been placed in them against their
will. Their homes had been burned
and their possessions had been taken
He had tried to get the military
authorities through the government OF
the colony to permit 200 or 800 wo
men and children camped at Port
Elizabeth to be liberated, food and
shelter having been promised them by
the town, but the military authorities
uenied the request.
Resolutions denouncing the admins
tration Of tne crown government were
adopted.

200 citizens of Springfield. The exact
time Of removal had been withheld

The temporary vault was so thorough

AN EXPERT MARKSMAN
Crazy Electrician Kills One Man
and Seriously Wounds
Several Others.

Portland. Me-, April 24.-One of the
bloodiest tragedies in the history Of
portland. in recent years, occurred
this afternoon on the fourth floor of
the building occupied by the New
England Telephone company. The
Principal actor in the affair was Geo.
H. Brainerd, foreman electrician, who
mas been employed by the compaaj for
almost 20 years. For some unknown
reason and without the slightest prov
ocation while chatting with his fell
low workmen, he whipped out a A.
calibre revolver and opened fire on
the party around him. He is evil
IDENTIFY an expert marksman, for in
the brief space of time he killed one
man outright, fatally wounded anoth-
er nan and probably fatally wounded
two others. Then he made an attempt
to kill Deputy Marshal w. A. Firth,
when that officer tried to put him
under arrest. The man who was
killed outright was l. H. Farnham, of
Boston, electrical engineer of the New
England Telephone company. Earle
Buxton. another victim. died lat the
hospital tonight. Elmer q. Lane, OF
Merchaic Falls, and James Wads.
worth of Lewiston, are believed to be
fatally injured. The only charitable
motive that a be assigned for the
crime is insanity, yet neither before
nor after the tragedy did Brainerd ex'
hibit any marked evidence of mental
arrangement.

Chicago, April 24.-Shortly after Pc

chief witness. After adjournment
Nelson re-entered the court room and

Messenger, ran into the hall. There
he fell, but continued firing at the off.

ristration because they were unable to
present birth certificates showing their
exact ages, although there had been
no question that they were old enough.
General Whltside has given orders
to the commander Of the rural guards
to visit the registration Offices and
to investigate these charges. The
city authorities object to this, declar-
ing that it amounts to military inter-
ference and they protest vigorously.
At registration Office this morn
ing the police refused to admit Major
Shelley. commander Of the rural
guards, but as he was acting under
General Whiteside's orders he disre-
garded the police, entered the Office
and received the complaints Of the
minority members Of the board. The
other members left the office, but re-
turned later.
The republican press bitterly at
tacks the action Of the military gov
ernor. asserting that 1t is interference
and that the military are in alliance
with the nationalists.

ON A TECHNICALLY
Defense in Eastman Murder Trial
Scores First Strong
Point.

Cambridge, Mass. April 24.-The
government lost its first critical point
in the admission of evidence against
Professor Eastman of Harvard col
lege, who is on trial in the superior
court, charged with the murder of his
brother-in-law, Richard Grogan, Jr.,
this afternoon when Judge Gaskill de-
cided that certain evidence in regard
made by Grogan when he was dying
was not admissible in a certain form.
which tended to confirm an opinion
and not a fact that Grogan had been
killed or murdered. The point raised
by Mr.. Elder for the prisoner, was ap-
parently unexpected by the attorney
general.
Lottie Broughton, a witness. was
asked to repeat what she had heard
Grogan say, her testimony having
already gone beyond the point where
it was shown that Grogan was wound
ed.
Elder, in opposing. said he antici-
pated the answer to be: Charles.
you have murdered me-" and to it he
objected as incompetent evidence, on
the ground that it was Grogan's opin-
ion, not a specific declaration of the
dying a On the same ground he
objected to the evidence already pre-
sented, winch in effect was an opinion
and not a bare statement of fact.
Attorney General Knowlton took the
opposite ground but the decision was
against the government in almost
every particular, the exception being
that the identical words OBJECTED to
were allowed to stand in the direct
testimony of Mr.. Titus, druggist, who
saw the struggle between Grogan and
Eastman n heard the former SPEAK

ANARRoW ESCAPE.
Attempt to Wreck the North Coast
Limited Near Belgrade.

Last Sunday evening the WestbOund
North Coast Limited had a narrow
Escape from being wrecked close to the
storey siding, on bridge No. 1872, and
it was only owing to the fact that No.
4, eastbound passenger was late that
the disaster was averted, says the
Bozeman Republican. No. 4 was late
sunday evening and No. IL being the
flyer had ne right of way, and SO No.
4 had been ordered to pull into the
Storey siding to allow No. IL to pass.
Inc crew Of No. 4 going into the sid
ing noticed a tie lying across the main
track, ana upon Investigating the mat
ter found it had been secured to the
rails by T irons. No. II was due in a
few minutes but the crew managed to
get the tie off the track in time to al
low the limited to pass.
The party or parties who placed the
obstruction on the track must have
oone so in broad daylight, and either
wanted to wreck the eastbound or
westbound passenger trains, thoughjt
is probable the flyer that it was intend
ed for. The sheriff and city police
have been Investigating the matter
and hunted the town owe yesterday
to try and find out whether there were
any suspicious characters in town who
might have committed the crime, but
up to this date no clue whatever has
been discovered giving any light upon
the subject. AS usual the railroad
people kept the matter as secret as
possible hoping thereby 1t is presumed
to be able to capture the miscreants
who placed the tie on the track. The
company has just offered a reward OF
$1,000 "for the arrest and conviction
Of the parties who, OF the evening OF
the 21st day of April, 1901, placed OBJ
