MILITARY LAW FOR BOER.
Camps in Which Boer Women are
 Kept Guarded With Rifles.


 London, April 25.--J. K Merriman, the former treasurer of Cape Colony, speaking at a meeting of the league oT liberals against aggression and mlll- tarism, said military law, the abnega- ton of all law, was established 1n Cape Colony. The newspapers had not heard of the treachery and espoin- age going on. Respectable people were committed on the evidence of natives alone They were brought up and fined for harmless observations, called seditious,. and the town guards harried them. These things created greater irritation and indignation than actual violence. The press was deliberately stopped and four editors had been sent to jail. The fruits of this policy would be bitter, as the memory of those in suits burned the hearts of the people. MT Merriman detailed instances of the punishment of the Dutch under military law, usually on the testimony of natives and employees. He men toned an instance of q 'scheeky girI' being fined for saying things against the town guards. Martial law and censorship throughout Cape Colony prevented the people of England from knowing the hardships of the Dutch. AS an Englishman, Mir Merriman said, he viewed the policy pursued in Cape Colony with the blackest dismay. If persisted in, South Africa was lost to the British empire. The only thing that could save 1t was recognition that the people wanted self government and were determined to have 1t.
 J. ". Sauer, the former commission- CT of public works of Cape Colony, said the camps in which the Boer wo- men and children were kept were guarded by sentries with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. A majority of the women had been placed i'll them against their will. Their housholds had been burned and their possessions had been taken. He had tried to get the military authorities, through the government of Cape Colony, to permit 200 or 300 women and children camped at Port Elizabeth to be liberated, foou and shelter having been promised them by the town, but the military author ities refused the request.
 Resolutions opposing annexation and crown government were adopted.

MILITARY CHANGES.
Colonel Burpee Approves of the New
 Law in a General Way.

There was quite large and repre- sentative attendance at what was an- nounced in advance to be the final hearing on the proposed military re vision bill, before the committee on military affairs yesterday afternoon, and for the first time the opposition to the measure was developed. The hear ing will be continued at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Among those present were General Thomas McManus, Colonel H. A. Tyler, Captain J. k. Williams, Ma jor Thomas T Welles, adjutant of the Second regiment; General H. s. Peck of New Haven. Major G F. Hurd, Ma jor Louis R. Cheney. Colonel Wilbur F. Coe of Winsted. Colonel l.. F. Bur pee of Waterbury, Captain H Fl. Saun- ders. Captain G. A. Cornell, Assistant Adjutant-G General Landers, Adjutant- General Cole, General Russell Frost, Colonel Ullmanof New Haven. Major James k Crofut, Rinaldo F. Kenyon, M. J. Wise, General Atwood, Quarter master General Newton, Major G. L. Fitch of the Fourth regiment, Colonel Burdett, Assistant Quartermaster-G Gen eral Morgan and Lieutenant Colonel Hamilto1i of the Third regiment.
 Captain Williams called for the read ff1s of the changes made in the bill which had been made since the form CT hearings. They were read by Assist ant Adit1tant- General Landers and explained, largely in reply to questions by Captain Williams, General Newton, General Pack Colonel Burpee, Major Cheney and others.
 Colonel Burpee approved of the gen eral provisions of the bill, a perman- ent head to the force. reduction in rank of governor S staff, etc. The National Guard was top-heavy with a staff larg- CT than that of an army of several corps. The rank of such officers was ridiculously high. The brigade staff was too large. There was no need or a medical director whose duties could be performed by the detail of another medical officer There was no need of judge advocate on the brigade staff or of q permanent provost marshall; he would only be required in camp and could be detailed as now. The reduc- tion in rank of brigade staff officers was right. The judge advocate general should be required to have been "in
 active law pracfice'' for five years. He thought it should be provided that en'
 campments might be earlier than Au gust. He was sorry the bill did not ge further and cut down staffs still more He wished that the New York system
 could be adopted He started to speak
 against the section which strikes out
 the present provision of the law con
 cerning sixty days leeway on dis I charge of enlisted men, but was told
 that that section had been stricker out of the bill.

WATERBURY HAS NO SAY.
Trolley and Telephone Companies
 Have Balance of Power.


 Have Balance of Power.
 The alderman who laughed at the idea of Waterbury thinking that it could get permission from the legisla- ture to issue bonds for the purpose of engaging in the business of building conduits and manufacturing electrici- ty knew more about the ropes than those who differed from him on this subject supposed. "Let us be good natured about these matters said one of the city fathers in the sante-room of the aldermanic chambers to a few of his colleagues the evening the muni- cipal lighting and conduit questions came before the meeting, the finance committee at artford will take care of them. To me it looks like piece of folly to be wasting time in an eff fort to get the finance committee to re- port fayorably upon such measures so long as the trolley and telephone com panieS are out against us" Another member of the board was astonished to learn that Waterbury did not have the right to excavate in the public streets and operate an electric lighting plant without receiving permission from the legislature. Wonder what this wise head said when he picked up his pa per last night and saw that Waterbury got slap from the finance commit tee for having the cheek to make such a request. The recommendation were indorspf by the board of aldermen, signed by Che mayor and the city at torney and the mayor, acting under instructions of the aldermen, appear ed before the committee and pleaded for a favorable report But what did all this amount to? The corporation counsels were there too and the action of the committee is all the proof one needs to convince him of the logic of Mayor Kilduff's remark the other even ing, ssthe corporations own the state. :"

DECEASED WIPES SISTER.
Bill to Permit Marriage Debated in
 British Commons.

r
 British Commons.
 London, April 25.-The house of commons yesterday debated the de- ceased wife's sister bill. There is con- siderable interest in the outcome. When the bill reached its second read ing stage in the house Of commons in 1891 it was carried by POP to 155 votes. In 1896 the bill passed it's third read ing in the house of lords by 142 to 104 votes, but it was afterwards blocked in the house of commons. King Ed wards known interest in the adoption of the measure, it is hoped by it's sup porters, will help it through on this occasion.
 Sir William Gurdon, liberal, in nov ing the second reading yesterday, urged in support of his motion that such marriages were permitted throughout the United States. The opponents of the bill asserted that it was only introduced in the interest of certain rich and influential people who had broken the law and desired to be whitewashed.
 After a long debate for and against the bill Sir William Gurdon moved the closure, which was carried by 29O to 106 votes.
 The bill passed it's second reading by 2T9 to 122 votes.

The instances are certainly numer- ous in which the most successful leaders in the field have been far be. low the averages both in height and weight. Why, the Little Corporal himself would never have become a soldier maybe if his fate had depend ed on one of these war office boards, and it is question whether the na- tion would now have been honoring Little Bobs.'
