London Daily News Views Re-
concentrate Policy.
Says Death Rate in the Camps
Was Never Equalled.
WORSE THAN FAMINES
Cholera and Other Epidemics
Afford Nothing to Match 1t.
Eternal Stain on Name Of
England Is Threatened.

London Nov. 9.-The Daily News to-
day exhaustively surveys the concentra-
tion camps in South Africa with the
following conclusions:
The truth is that the death rate in the
camps is incomparabIy worse than any
thing Africa or Asia can show. There
is nothing to match it even in the NOR
tality figures of the Indian famines
where cholera and other epidemics have
to be contended with. Statistics are pro-
duced in proof of this assertion.
The governments advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth that "the term of employment Will
be one year certain" is prominently dis
played as evidence that the authorities
have no intention Of ending the whole
sale destruction of human life"
The Daily News urges all humane men
not to wait for official reports but to
insist on the camps being broken up and
the people distributed among their
friends, removed to districts where q
fresh attempt can be made, under COM
petent organization and with some re-
gard to the preservation of life-that, or
determination and an eternal stain on
the name of England"

CORRALL.ED NEAR LAWRENCE.
Kansas City, Nov. 9.-A telephone
message from Lawrence this afternoon
reports six convicts have been cor
rallied near that city. Four miles east
of Lawrence three cOnvictS abandoned
their horses at the Kansas river, rowed
across in a stolen boat and now
said to be hiding in the woods. The
sheriff of Lawrence with a number of
deputies left for the scene shortly after
noon. Eight miles northeast of Law
renee on Buck creek, farmers are said
to have surrounded three other con-
victs in the woods and are closing in
on them.
FARMER HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Kansas City, Nov. 9.-At 2 o'clock two
white convicts were reported in hiding
at the Bell school house, eight miles
west of LeavenwOrth and five deputies
had just left Leavenworth for that
place. A farmer just in from the school
house had been held up and robbed by
the convicts.
THE NORTONVILLE AFFAIR.
Nortonville, Kas., Nov. 9.-The fight
with escaped convicts at this place
came about as follows: The five men
were discovered in the barn of Fay
Weishaar, a quarter of a mile from
Nortonville. about o'clock in the af-
ternoon. Weishaar went into the barn
and was ordered out at the point of
guns. He rushed to Nortonville and
gathered a wagon load of men, who
with revolvers, shotguns and a few
Winchesters fastened to the scene.
The convicts saw the men coming and
rushed from the barn. They had two
shotguns and revolvers. The posse pur-
sued them, and a running duel resulted.
The convicts were at a disadvantage
and their shots had no effect, while at
every volley from the posse one of the
convicts fell. After two of them fell,
one being killed, two of the others gave
themselves up, one being wounded, the
other unhurt. The fifth was fully 200
yards away when a man with a Win
chester drew a bead on him and fired.
He was evidently hard hit, but tried to
go on, and a volley was fired at him
and he fell dead. None of the posse was
hurt.

MR. HAYDEN'S STATEMENT
After a recess of ten minutes Charles
Hayden of Holton made a statement to

plea was made for the defendant by re-

THE GAME AT LAWRENCE.
Odds That Haskell Will Defeat the
Crimson Today.

Lawrence, Nov. 9.-The Haskell In
dians and Kansas Jayhawkers meet on
McCook field this afternoon. The red
skins have the best chances to win, but
they may meet with some surprises at
the hands Of Coach Outland's charges.
There is very little betting being done
on the game, and X. u. money is espe-
cially hard to find except at very large
odds.
Coach Outland says his team will
give the Indians a close race, but he
does not expect to be able to win the
game. He is very much pleased with
the progress the team has made the
past few weeks. and thinks that X. L.
rooters will see a great difference IN
the playing of the Jayhawkers.
The practice at Haskell in prepara-
ton for the K. U. game has been IN
progress since Wednesday night and
Coach Ellick thinks his charges are in
very fair condition for the game. The
Indians have had no secret practice,
as they do not expect to have very
hard time to win the game from the
Jayhawkers. None of the players were
seriously hurt in the Minnesota game.
but the cold weather was the cause OF
a good many severe colds, and several
of the players are not feeling in the
best condition

Carlisle vs.. Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 9.-The Indian
football team from Carlisle arrived here
to do battle on the gridiron this after
noon with the naval cadets. 1t is their
first appearance here since 1885 when
they were beaten by the middies by d
score of AZ to 0. Their form this season
makes it probable that they VIII do
better today. especially as the cadets
are wea kened by the inability of Capt.
Nicolls, their star full back, to play the
injury to his shoulder keping him out
of the game.
