low during bis incumbency of Office.

took the oathSof Office he stated with
much defnitantss: "it shall be my
aim to continne absolutely unbroken
the policy of President Mckinley for
the peace land he emphasized that
word), prosperity and honor Of the
country" ! I
The president gathered together
some personal friends in Buffalo and
those members of the cabinet who
we're there and gave them such ideas
as he has already formulated for the
conduct of personal affairs and his
own policy. I'm no sense are they

Alleged Traitor Out OIL Bail.

Manila, March BY direction of Cen
eral Macarthur d. NJ. Carman. an Ameri-
can contractor, who was brought into Gus.
tody February 5, charged with aiding the
Filipino insurgents, has been released on
$4,000 cash bail. Major Kulp, medical
officer, certified that Carman was sick
man and that further confinement was apt
to cause his death. General G. ID. Davis,
provost marshal of Manila, says that the
case has been very carefully considered be-
fore the release was ordered, as it estab
lished the precedent in the Philippines of
permitting persons charged with aiding
and abetting the insurrection to be at
large. Carman is under surveillance in
Manila. He is allowed special privileges
besides those allowed by civil law else

Boise, March 3-In committee of the
whole the senate reduced the appropriation
for the Buffalo exposition from $4,000 to
$4,000. The bill making a legislative re-
apportionment for the state was passed by
the senate by party vote. There is
much feeling over this bill, as it is claimed
that it is unfair.
Another bill passed by the senate is
house bill aimed at the bureau maintained
in the Occur dAlenes for employment of
miners. 1t provides that no employment
bureau shall be maintained unless the COM
missioners give their consent. The element
favoring the miners union side of the con-
troversy has control of the board of Sho-
shone county. Hence the board will wipe
out the agency if it stands the test of the

robber smashed the plate window of May
or M. d. Whites iewelry store in Bridge
street. He snatched two cases of rings set
with diamonds and other stones valued at
$1,000 and made good his escape. The rob-
Der evidently was cognizant of movements
of people in the store, as last night, for the
first time in months, the place had been
left alone. Frank White, brother of the
proprietor, usually sleeping in the rear,
was away. The crash of breaking glass
Weakened every one within blocks, but so
quickly was the work done that the bur-

DOER WAR IS ABOUT OVER
BRITISH NEWSPAPERS VIEW
RumOrs of the Surrender of Bothn
aud Not BOer Resistance the Rea-
s0n-War Officials Think Differ
ent-Germany Against Plague.

London, March 4.-The war in South
Africa has again reached stage which
the British newspaper critics are pleased
to call the eve of the termination. Ru-
mors of the surrender of General Botha
and the collapse of all the Boer resist
ance flourish, to the great benefit of the
South African stocks.
That those who are most responsible for
carrying on the war do not share this
optimism is evident from Mr.. Broderick's
unofficial utterances and the conversation
of his friends, including Lord Roberts
Their carefully prepared campaign Of
thorough organization, which has been
quietly maturing during the past six
months, is beginning to have its first re-
suits and they are practically satisfied.
The new concentration of troops referred
to so enigmatically by the correspondents
at the front is only one Of the many steps
for which General Kitchener has so long
been preparing. That it will lead to the
complete disintegration of the more i'm
portant Boer units and possibly to the
personal surrender of Generals Botha and
Dewet the British war office earnestly
hopes
General Kitchener is almost as reticent
toward his chiefs in Pail Mall as to the
general public. When he has taken Gen
eral Botha into his camp the war office
expects to hear of it, but not before. As
an official said to an Associated Press
representative grimly: "Armistices are
not in General Kitchener's line" The
meeting of General Kitchener and Sir
Alfred Miner at Pretoria, probably oc-
curing Sunday, is generally taken as
likely to result in the establishment of a
more permanent form of civil government
in which the services of martial law will
be somewhat tempered in several sections
of the country. But neither in London nor
in South Africa are the British officials
shutting their eyes to the fact that they
have long job ahead of them.
Later.
London, March 5.-General Dewet
lost heavily in men and stores by his
incursion into Cape Colony, but he
seems to have made clever escape
with the bulk of his commando. Ap-
parently Commandant Hertzog crossed
the Orange river with him. General
Hamilton, who was pursuing, heard
that Dewet was surrounded at Phillips
town, northwest of Colesburg. On ar
irving there he found the Beers had
not been at Philipstown at all, but had
doubled back and were struggling
across the river at Colesburg. Appar-
emily this is another instance of defect
i've intelligence regarding the doings
of the Beers.
