Opposing Candidates Withdrew From the
Contest without Waiting for Vote.
Springfield, L., Jan. 1s.-At the re-
publican senatorial caucus last night
Shelby NJ. Cullom was nominated to
succeed himself for the long term
in the United States senate.
The contest among Illinois repub-
lican candidates for the United
States senate came to an unexpected
close about noon by the announce
ment that former Governor Tanner
and Messrs. Cannon, Hit and Prince
had withdrawn from the race, leav-
ing present United States Senator
Cullom q walkover.
The announcement of Governor
Tanners withdrawal came first and
was shortly followed by announce
ments from the other candidates. The
exact cause that led Senator Gull
lom's opponents to leave him clear
field are not announced further
than that all the candidates and their
friends, after several conferences,
agreed that it would be difficult, if
not impossible, to defeat Senator
Cullom and that it would be to the
interest of the party harmony, as
we'll as to their own interests, to
withdraw before the matter came to

DEWET CROSSES The YAAL
The Boer Commander Preparing fol
Another Attack.

London, Jan. 1.-THE important
report received from Johannesburg
that General De Wet had crossed the
Vaaal and joined forces with the
Transvaal commanders, if true,
probably means the concentration
of several thousand Beers for anoth'
err big attack.
There is rumor current in Cape
Town that several Boer leaders arc
urging an attack upon the mines
It has been long understood that
General De Wet has been anxious t.
Join the invaders in Cape Colony and
this rumor may be spread to cover
an attempt to break southwark.
AS an outcome of the fact that the
Beers in several instances have worn
khaki, a government notice has been
promulgated in Pretoria prohibiting
civilians from wearing khaki, and no
tifying all persons who wear this
costume, which is likely to be mis-
taken for the British uniform, that
they will render themselves liable to
arrest and Imprisonment.
The response to the governments
call for volunteers is said to be very
brisk in both London and the prov
inces. Defensive measures in South
Africa proceeds apace. Seven thou
sand men have joined the city guard
in Cape Town, and 5000 others have
volunteered in the suburbs. An adj
ditional big gun has been mounted
on Table Mountain.
A small Boer commando entered
Sutherland, cut the telegraph wires.
looted the stores, and then proceed
ed northward.
According to the Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, the
Beers occupied Aberdeen, forty miles
south of CRAFT Reinet, Tuesday.

London, Jan. 1S.-Lord Roberts has
issued from the war office stirring
appeal to the country for prompt
response to the call for 5000 yeo-
many, whose past services in SCUM
Africa he highly commends to the
gratitude of the nation. The authori-
ties continue to hold a hopeful view
regarding the South African sltua-
ton, but they seem to recognize that
vigorous measures are necessary
The proclamation of martha! law
throughout almost the whole OF Cape
Colony, Lord Kitchener's strong
measures against the populition OF
the republics, the placing on reduced
rations of the wives of men in the
field, and similar measures go to
show that there is still heavy work
ahead. British offensive operations
have ceased for the present. 1t is
supposed that Lord Kitchener is col
lecting his strength for u final effort
to crush or capture the commanders
by a repetition of the tactics when
caused the surrender OF General
Cronie and General Prinsloo. 1t IS
alleged that the Beers who are con-
centrating at Carolina and Ermele
are preparing to descend into Natal.
The casualty list yesterday shows
that the Beers have released 297 Brit
ish who were captured at Helvetia
and Belfast. The facts regarding
the captures at Belfast have not yet
been made public: 1t is asserted that
more heavy naval guns will be landed
at the cape. Information as to the
doings of the invaders is hard to OBJ

CUBA A FOREIGN COUNTRY
Supreme Court Says Medley Can Be
Extradited.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Ihe United
States supreme court yesterday an
nounced it's decision in the case of G.
L. w. Nicely, charged with embezzle-
nent of the public funds OF Cuba
while acting as financial agent Of the
department of post Of that island,
holding that Nicely is subject to ex-
tradition.
Justice Harlan handed down the
courts opinion. which was unani-
nous, and Immediately after the opin-
ion was concluded an order was is
sued requiring that the mandate in
the case, explaining Neely's crime
ion embraced a complete review of
the case, explaining Neely"s crime
and arrest and his effort to prevent
extradition to Cuba. The opinion
also detailed the laws relating to ex-
tradition and quoted the act of June
6, 1900, extending the provisions of
section 5270 of the revised statutes
to foreign countries which are oc-
cuped by or under the control of the
United States so as to make the law
cover, among other crimes, embezzle-
ment in such countries. Relating that
the circuit court for the southern
district of New York, to which an APP
rlication for writ of habeas corpus
had been made, had rendered de-
cision adverse to Neely's claims, JUS
tice Harlan said he had then appealed
to this court on the ground that the
act of June 6, 1900, was unconstitu-
tional. Entering then upon his rea-
soning in the case, Justice Harlan
said that there was no dispute that
on June 6, 1900, when the act under
which this proceeding is brought be-
came law, Cuba was "under the con-
troll of the United States" and ''occu-
pied by this government" "The
court" he said, twill take judicial no.
tice that such were, at the date
named and are now, the relations
between this country and Cuba. So
that the applicability of the above act
to the present case-and this is the
first question to be eXamined-de-
pends upon the inquiry whether,
within it's meaning, Cuba is to be
deemed foreign country or terri
tory"
Continuing, he said:
eve do not think this question at
all difficult of solution if regard be
had to the avowed objects intended to
be accomplished by the war with
Spain and by the military occupation
OF that island"
Announcing the courts conclusions
on the status of Cuba, Justice Harlan
said: "The facts above detailed make
it clear that Cuba is foreign territory
within the meaning of the act of June
6. 1900. 1t cannot be regarded in any
constitutional, legal or international
sense a part of the territory of the
United States"

it was found that this city was large
enough to have saloons if the re-
quired number of names could be- Sc
cured to the petition of consent. The
petition was filed with the board of
supervisors at West Union. The anti
saloonists began looking for flaws
and found that in q number of in
stances the date had not been placed
opposite the names on the paper.
These cases were numerous enough
to throw the petition out. AS the
board cannot act on more than one
petition in year, it is knocked out
for twelve months at least.
