10 seems to be pretty well established
that Hands did not know his oompanion's

the only substantial evidence against

one who knew him, the testimony Of
Mrs. Alosher that the man who assaulted
her resemoled In build and general ap-
pearance MoLain and the fact that the

Senator Frye was reelected yesterday by
the unanimous vote of the Republican
Legislators. 1t was deserved tribute to
a man who has served his state and mis-
country not only faithfully but also
with conspicuous ability and distinction.
The same tolerance, which we have noted
in the oase OF Senator Hoar, has been
manifested In this State. The views OF
Senator Hale and Senator Frye on the
Philippine policy are very different, yet
the Republican party has reelected both
of them, knowing them to be honest,
able, and thorough believers in the fun
damental principles OF the Republican
party. The rejection of either one OF
them would lave subjected the State to
"a great and irreparable loss.

to, only just to give you an idea of
the scheming and plotting of British
secret service men and officers to shoot
a brave man in order to have an ex-
cuse to give the Butcher from Omdur-
man a free hand, and you know what
that means when Kitchener gave or
derS to his officers TO take no prison
ers OF war. They have even introduced
the hanging, for they have hanged
prisoners OF war because they shot
Kaffirs who were in arms against them
and this is what they were pleased TO
step further in their latest attempt to
crush the brave Beers. They have
armed $4,000 Kaffirs under their differ
ent chiefs and sent them across the
border to loot cattle and to slaughter
any Beers who would have the n1isfO---
they have slaughtered several Boer
families in Swaziland. They (the En-
glish) have resorted to the lowest
methods OF barbarism in order to try
ana crush these brave people. But the
Beers have pulled them down and hu-
inflated them in a manner such as
they never experienced before. Fight
ing is going on here daily Cherry En-
met, who is in command of the BOar
forces in this part of the country, is
a relative of our iIlustriOus country
man. Robert Emmett. With a handful
OF men he is making a stand against
$4,000 English troops and all the KAT
frs I have previously mentioned. All
those methods are nothing new TO
Irishmen, for they have tried them all
in ireland and failed. But right Will
prevail; the cause of liberty will tri-
umph history VIII repeat itself, and
we viii all live, I hope, to see a decIa-
ration of Independence and a United
States of South Africa.
The Irish Yeomanry got a great
hammering. 1t did not take the Beers
long to bring them to terms 1t is
only a pity that 1t was not done to
them ia Ireland long ago instead Of
paying chem rents. Time nor space

DRAWS THE COLOR LINE.
Grand Lodge Of Masons at Tacoma
Wash, Takes Action.

Tacoma, Wash, June 12.-The grand
lodge of 1Iasons today rescinded the
resolution adopted two years ago recog-
nizing negro Masonry. The action Of
the lodge at that time was severely
criticised all over the United States.
and as q result the next session of
the grand lodge attempted to return to
the old established principles, but the
resolution was so far fully drawn that
sister lodges refused to construe il as
an honest expression. Today the lodge.
in unmista1able- language, made its
position known.
Another attempt was made to let
down the bars of the liquor question
50 that MasOns could. engage in the sa-
loon business, but it was almost unani-
mOusly voted down. It was decided to
levy an assessment of so cents a year
on each member to create a fund to es-
tabIish a Masonic home This VIII
raise about SO 600 annually in the grand
lodge alone, and the grand chapter and
grand conmandery Will also contribute,
while the Eastern Star auxiliary have
a fund already started. The location
OF the home viii not be determined IN
til the fund is entirely raised.
