NARTIsL Law IN MORE DISTRICTS.


Cape Town, Jan. Sat a meeting
OF Afrikander members of the Cape
parliament yesterday il was resolved
to send Messrs. J. X. Merriman, for
mer treasurer Of Cape Colony; j.
W. Sauer, former commissioner of
public works, and J. +. Hofmeyer, to
England to represent the state of af-
fairs in South Africa to the govern
ment, parliament and people Of Great
Britain.
Gen. Brabant has arrived here to
complete the organization of the CO.
lonial forces.
The Beers boast that their present
incursion is only big patrol, pre-
paratory to an invasion in force by
Gen. Dewet. The latter's influence
over the Dutch is so enormous that
there is no doubt his actual presence
would result in general rising. The
Dutch have unbounded faith that, IL
he had a sufficient supply Of arms and
ammunition, Gen. Dewet, who Is re-
garded as the Napoleon of the cam
paign, would now be able to bring
the war to a successful termination.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
the districts of Calvinia, Clanwiliam,
Piquetburg, Pulbagh, Paarl and Steel
enbosch.
The editor of Ons Landa. the prin-
cipal Afrikander newspaper here has
been arrested on the charge of Sc
ditious libel.
1t Is reported that an influential
peace commission is being formed at
Bloemfontein to interview Gen. De-
wet, Mr.. Steyn and other leaders, to
explain Lord Kitcheners terms and to
endeavor to induce them to yield.

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE,


Jefferson City, No., Jan. s.-Both
houses of the general assembly met
yesterday for the first time since last
Friday, but little business was trans.
acted, as neither house was in ses-
sion more than Is minutes. The house
adopted resolution introduced by
Mr.. Carter, of Grundy, republican,
instructing the adiutant general to
fire salute on January 5, on the
anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans. The resolution contained a
clause indorsing the Sound money
and expansion views" of Andrew
jackson, the hero of New Orleans
Mr.. Murphy one of the republican
members from st. Louis, offered
resolution expressing sympathy for
the Beers. The resolution was adopt
ed without debate and it was placed
on the house journal.
Senator Davisson, of Harrison. in.
troduced n bill for the granting of
powers to circuit Judges to appoint
u committee of three to settle all dis

dnced two years ago, but was killed

RASSIEUR INTERVIEWED.


St. Louis, Jan. SIN an interview
yesterday Commander-in-Chief Leo
Rassieur, of the G. A. r., referring
to legislation for the benefit of civil
war veterans who may wish to Sc
cure employment in the public service,
said to q representative of the Asso-
ciated press;
The very much mistaken idea that
preference Is now enjoyed by all survv-
ors OF the civil war for certficatlon to
and appointment In the civil service un-
der the national government evidences a
lack of knowledge on the subject so gen.
eral that II ought to be corrected. The
fact Is this. Section 1874 revised statutes,
United States, passed March 0, 1885, pro-
vldes that persons honorably discharged
from the military or naval service by
reason Of disability resulting from
wounds or sickness incurred in the line
Of duty shall be preferred for appoint
ment on the appointment Of the civil
Offices OF course, the discharge must
show that It was based on disability
This being so. the law is applicable now
to all regulars and to the volunteers Of
the recent war or those serving In the
Philippines who have been or may be
"honorably discharged from the military
or naval service for disability resulting
from wounds or sickness incurred In the
line of duty" but not to others. There Is
not, and never has been. any preference
enjoyed by men who served out their
terms of enlistment or until the close of
hostllities in the civil war. II man
was wounded 20 times, refusing a dis
charge for disability by reason thereof,
he has no legal preference whatever in
the civil service. The efforts of commit
tees Of the Grand Army during 20 years
to change this in the interest of all who
served faithfully and well, have failed.
