ARMISTICE BETWEEN
KITCHENER And BOTHA
BOER COMMANDER AND HIS MEN
WILL SURRENDER-DEWE g..
IRRECONCHABLE.

LONDON, March 9.-The Daily Chron-
icle, referring to the armistice at Pre-
toria says:
We learned that the untiring agent of
bringing about the arrangement was Mrs.
Botha, who was deeply affected by the
present plight of the Beers and did her
utmost to induce her husband to accept
the British terms. The meeting of Feb.
q was limited by Gen. Botha's request
to know Lord Kitcheners terms.
Lord Kitchener replying that general
amnesty would be granted to all who
surrendered, and to all prisoners except
those of the Cape Dutch, who being Brit
ish subjects, had fomented uprising. Gen.
Dewet and Mr.. Steyn were, however, ex-
pressly excluded from the amnesty Lord
Kitchener further promised that if peace
was concluded the government would as
sist in rebuilding the farm houses and
other buildings destroyed under military
eXigencies, would reinstate the lawful
owners and would help them stock their
farms. Those guilty of acts of treach-
cry would be excluded from these bene-
fits.
Gen. Botha appeared satisfied with the
conditions and the armistice being ar
ranged, he proceeded to consult his Of
ficers, a vast majority of whom accept
ed the terms.
Dewet and Steyn both remained ir-
reconcilable. They declined any terms
Dewet adding that on his part the war
had become one Of revenge. and he in
tended to do all the mischief he could
1t is probable that the original armis-
tice of a week has been extended. 1t Is
believed the remainder Of Gen. Botha S
officers have now been won around and
that he is likely to make formal submis-
sion to Lord Kitchener March II, when
his force will surrender to Gen. French.
According to our information LcrS
Kitchener's dispositions made the speedy
capture of Gen. Bothas forces quite GER
tain. Gen. Botha frankly accepted the
situation, and was treated by Lord kitch-
ener at both interviews with the greatest
consideration. The negotiations between
Lord Kitchener and Gen. Botha are in
allegiance, says the Pretoria core spand-
ent of the Times, wiring Wednesday.

CHICAGO, March S.-A highly sensa-
tlonaI attempt to rob the home OF Will
lam Mclaughlin, the millionaire coffee
merchant, 81 Rush street, was made to-
night. Scores of shots were fired and
Frederick Mclaughlin, a son of the mer-
chant, narrowly escaped death. The
residence is i'll the fashionable district
of the North side. With bullets from two
reVolVers flying about him, young Nc
Laughlin stood on the front porch of his
IatherS house and caught a burglar who
had entered the residence as the thief
slid down the porch pillar The escaping
burglar, whose two contederates were
shooting at Mclaughlin, drew his re-
volver. Pressing it to McLaughlin's alb
domen, as he landed at the bottom, he
pulled the trigger, but the cartridge
failed to explode. Mclaughlin strucz
the burglar blow that sent him reel
ing TO the ground. AS he struck his
man, Mclaughlin grabbed the revolver
from the burglars hand and fired at him
as he fell. Then followed the escape of
the two men who had stood guard. Thcv
rode east on Ontario street in a buggy,
each man firing his revolver. The man
deserted by his companion. ran badly
after them, followed by Mclaughlin and
MS prother-in-law, Gen. M. D. Harding.
FUsILLADE OF BULLETS.
AAIer running block the purSuerS
were forced to halt for the men in the
buggy made stand at Lincoln Park
boulevard and Ontario street, and open
ed a fusillade while waiting for their
wounded comrade to join them. When he
got into the buggy the three lashed their
morse and went south on Lincoln Park
boulevard. Mclaughlin followed shout
ing as he ran. His shouts were heard
by Charles c. Keene, a candymaker at 67
Lincoln Park boulevard, who opened fire
on the fugitives, but failed to stop them.
The men in the buggy kept up the fire
until they were given free passage. The
robbers had obtained no booty at the
Mclaughlin residence.
Frederick Mclaughlin is secretary and
treasury Of the Costello Chocolate com
pany, a graduate of Harvard college and
well known in society circles.
A servant girl had discovered the bur
glar in the upper part of the house.
Alarming Frederick Mclaughlin, she also
startled the intruder, who started to
leave the house as Mclaughlin reached
the front door.

YOUNGERS ARE PLEASED
SATISFIED WITH DEMING BILL AS
PASSED BY THE EEOUSE


SALTWATER, March ESPECIAL >
When the bill which carried with it the
possibilities of a parole for the Younger
boys was defeated in the house two years
ago, Cole and James Younger accepted the
inevitable in a manly manner and had
naught but kind words even for those
who opposed and voted against the meas
ure. When informed of the action of the
house on the Deming bill, Thursday
night, they were greatly pleased, and out
of the darkness that has surrounded
them for many years they saw a ray of
nope. They were thankful to their
friends who were instrumental in getting
the bill through the house. and they had
no word of fault to find with those who
voted against the measure. On the other
hand they spoke well of everybody. and
will now await the action of the senate
and are hoping that it will also pass that
body.
The amendment to the bill, which pro-
Vldes that there shall be a unanimous
concurrence of the board of pardons was
not dIstasteful to the Youngers, and to
Warden Wolfer they expressed them
selves that they thought it might be even
better that way, inasmuch as they be-
lleved the board of pardons would act
justly and honorably by them.

FAULTS OF THE ARMY.
BRITISH SECRETARY OF STATE
FOR WAR DISCUSSES THEM

LONDON, March 9-In the house of
commons last night Mr. Brodrick. secre-
tary for war, prefaced his introduction
OF the army estimates for 19O1-02 bv saw
ing that the war in South Africa had
brought to light many faults. even In
those portions of the army system which
were believed to be best He complained
of the scanty and reluctant support that
the governments proposals for strength
ening the military army had received in
the house of commons.
Mr.. Brodrick said that the estimate for
the year, apart from the war estimates
amounted to 229, ,6S5, ,O0O
The artillery was obviously insufficient
and the field artillery must be supple
mented by heavier guns. The army must
be provided with a much larger body of
mounted men and the musketry men
body needs improving.
Drill needed improving. 1t was a ques-
tion between the voluntary and the com
pulsory systems He adhered to the form
under which 10000 men had offered them
selves for the war. Compulsion, he said,
would be like applying the spur to
willing horse, and would be disastrous
The government could not hope to get rid
Of European entanglements. 1t could
not shut out the possibility of having to
dispatch forces to defend the British pos
sessions abroad

THE attention of all honest soldiers and

les disgrace all, bring about curtailment
