LORD KITCHENER
ISSUES AN ED|CT
Captured Beers w caring
British Uniforms Are
to Die.
Peace Terms Which Kruger Is
Said to Be Willing to
Accept.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Dispatches to the
Daily Mail announce that the Cape Town
Guard has again been called out and that
Lord Kitchener has issued an order di-
recting that all Beers captured in British
uniforms be shot.
The Daily Mail gives to-day another al
legged peace scheme which Kruger is said
to be willing to conclude. This would
be on the basis of granting autonomy to
the two republics under a convention
guaranteed by France and Russia in ex-
change for concession to Great Britain
of the Rand district and the gold fields,
which should be regarded as the total
Boer indemnity
The story circulated in the United
States by news agency to-day under
Amsterdam date, purporting to give the
peace terms which the Beers are willing
TO accept and alleging that they are to
be embodied in a formal document for
circulation among the powers, was SEEM
ingly started in an English provincial pa
per and is denied by the Boer delegates
al The Hague.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 1.-THE admins
tration counsel of the iron tribunal will
meet November 20 to decide on the ap-
peal of the Beers against the ruling that
the war in South Africa is not subject to
the courts consideration.

FIGHTS FOR POSSESSION
OF HIS LITTLE ONES
Samuel A. Rhoades, Accused of Kid
naping, Makes Counter Charges
Against Former Wife.

TACOMA, Nov. ia spirited legal con-
test for the possession of Norman Rhoades,
aged 13, and Clara Rhoades, aged Ii, was
commenced here in the Superior Court
to-day by their father, Samuel A.
Rhoades. The latter was arrested last
week in Lamar, Colo, for kidnapping the
boy and taking him out of the State
secretly. He returned to-day in custody
of Sheriff Hartman and is held under
$500 bonds to await trial
In a complaint which he filed to-day
Rhoades alleges that Mrs. Rhoades is un-
fit to have charge of the children and re-
quests the court to award them to him.
He is veterinary surgeon with fair
income and says he is both willing and
anxious to support and educate them.
The RhoadeS were married in Denver
in May, 1855 Later family disagreements
became common and they We're divorced
in San Francisco. Rhoades alleges that
while the divorce suit was pending he was
notified by his attorneys that an arrange
ment had been entered into with Mrs.
Rhoades whereby she was to keep their
son and their daughter was to go to him.
Believing this was settled Rhoades paid
little attention to the case. He found
later that Mrs. Rhoades had sent both
children to Sitka, where they were when
the decree was entered. He understood
/ that under the decree he was to have
the privilege Of visiting the children as
often as he liked, but he says Mrs.
Rhoades has studiously prevented mis- see
ing them.
Upon these allegations Judge Chapman
has ordered Mrs. Rhoades and Sheriff
Hartman to show cause within five days
why both children should not be given to
their father.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK
PLEASING TO FLINT
Senator Satisfied With the Progress
of His Race for Gubernatorial
Nomination.

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. n.-Senator
Thomas Flint Jr. Of San Benito, candidate
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, was in this city to-day looking over
the political field. He was met at the STA
ton by Judge F. w. Gregg and spent the
day in consultation with local politicians.
To The Call representative here Senator
Flint said:
81 am in the race to stay. have visited
many of the cities in Southern California
and 1 have been well received wherever
went. My chances for winning the nomi-
nation are improving every day.
Governor Gage and l are friends, and I
do not expect the fight for nomination will
be anything more than a friendly politi-
cal contest in which the strongest man
will win. I am simply making prelinli-
nary tour of Southern California and 1
expect to visit this city again before
long"
Senator Flint went to Redlands this
afternoon and tonight he is in Los An
geles. Tomorrow he will go to Santa
Ana, where there is a corner stone laying.
While here the Senator held a brief con-
sultation with A. g. Kendall, candidate
for Railroad Commissioner, but no polIt-
ical arrangements were made. Who will
manage the fight in this county for Flint
is question, and as far as can be learned
he has appointed no local lieutenants.

HELD PRISONER
At PORTO RICO
Authorities Place Labor
Organizer Iglesias I'm
der Arrest.
President Roosevelt Cables to
Learn Cause of His
Detention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. n.-Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, to-day saw the President
to protest against the arrest of Santiago
Iglesfas, who was sent to Porto Rico by
the federation to organize the working
men of the island.
Before Iglesias left the United States
Gompers explained to the President the
purpose of his visit and asked that Gov
ernor Hunt be notified that his mission
was not to stir up strife, but simply to
organize labor along legitimate lines. At
tnat time he told the President that Igle-
s1as, during the Spanish ascendency, had
opposed the Spanish regime and had been
imprisoned, having been liberated when
the american troops reached San Juan.
BY the Presidents direction Secretary
Cortelyou wrote to Governor Hunt con-
corning IgleSiaS' mission. That letter
was dated October 49, Last Saturday
Gompers was surprised to receive the fol-
lowing cablegram from Iglesias:
was arrested when 1 stepped ashore.
NO warrant was shown. Am ignorant of
charges. Remain in jail"
This message GomperS showed to the
President and the President Immediately
the cause of the arrest
During GomperS' interview to-day he
spoke to the President about labor organ
lzat1on, the extension of the eight-hour
law and the alien contract labor law.
GomperS was especially anxious that the
President should recommend the re-enact-
ment of the Chinese exclusion act, ard he
came away impressed with the belief that
the President would do so.

OBJECT TO THE INDIANS
DOING WORK ON ROADS
terror Department With a New
Labor Problem.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA labor prob
lem such as has arisen only rarely in the
Indian service confronts the Interior De-
partment as result of the action of fifty
Indians of the San Carlos (Arizona) res
ervation, who under the leadership of the
agency farmer went to work on roads
near the reservation.
Official advices received by the Interior
Department to-day announce that citi-
zens of that vicinity met last night and
finally demonstrated against the employ
ment of Indians on road work outside the
reservation. No details were given. It
is said here that the construction work
on which the Indians have been engaged
is not being done by the Government 1t
is supposed that the basis of the objec-
ton is competition by persons supported
by the Government. The San Carlos IN
dians have the reputation of being indus
trious and hard working. A full report
has been telegraphed for.

RAILROAD WINS
LEGAL Sk|RM|SH
United States Supreme
Court Makes an I'm
portant Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia decision
was rendered by the United States Su-
preme Court to-day in the case of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
Company versus the Board of Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners of Mis-
souri,. The case came to the Supreme
Court on a writ of error from the Su-
preme Court of the State of Missouri and
the decision of the lower court was re-
Eersed. The opinion was handed down by
Justice Brewer. The principal issue was
on the issue of the removal of the case
to the Federal courts The case involves
the legality of the charge made by the
railroad COMPANY for transporting pas
sengers and freight across it's bridge over
the Missouri River at Bonneville Mo.
The State law fixes the rate for carrying
passengers in Missouri at 8 cents per
mile, and 1t seems that the railroad COM
pany attached an extra charge Of 25 cents
for their transportation across the bridge,
and that an extra charge was also made
for freight crossing the bridge. The prac-
tice was attacked by the Railroad Com
missioners and suit brought in the courts
to enjoin the railroad company. In the
Supreme Court Of the State the law was
sustained. Application was made to re-
move the case to the Federal courts on
the ground that the company is a cor
poration of Kansas. The motion to this
effect was overruled by the State Su-
preme Court, and 1t is this opinion that
is now reversed. The case therefore goes
back for further proceedings.

STEAMER STRIKES
SUNkEN ICEBERG
Panic Seizes Upon the
City Of Topeka's
Passengers.

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-THE Lynn Canal
steamer City of Topeka, Captain Oleson,
steamed slowly into the harbor this
morning with her stem bent and gaping
hole near the load-line. The steamer col
lided with sunken iceberg in Taku Bay
on the up trip on the night Of November g.
A binding snowstorm was raging at the
time, and when the shock came some of
the passengers, believing the ship was go
Ing down, made frenzied attempts to get
into life-preservers. 1t was soon found
that, although several iron plates broke
through, there was no immediate danger
The steamer was taken to Douglas
Island after the accident for an investiga-
ton, and it was decided that the Topeka
should be allowed to return to Seattle
without cargo or passengers. The extent
of the damage is estimated at about $4,000
besides the loss of trip and the necessary
expense and delay that must ensue while
the vessel is being repaired.
On account Of the accident the Topeka
did not call at Skaguay, and therefore
brought no late news.

E5ERIOUS HITCH
IN NEGOTIATIONS
Railway Magnates Differ
Over Northern Pacific
Settlement.
Unexpected Difficulties Met
in Financing Burling-
ton Road.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Mail and Ex-
press says: The delay in the announce
ment Of the terms of the Northern Pacific
settlement, it was learned to-day is due
TO the inability so far to agree upon the
details for the control of the Burlington
and the surrender of the Northern Pacific
i, preferred stock owned by the Union Pa
cifc.
This is the ground for the current re-
port that there had been a hitch in the
deal, and it caused a considerable selling
Of Union Pacific stock. When It was an
nounced that the main points of agree
ment had been settled, reference was
made only TO the decision of Messrs. Hill
ana Morgan TO give up half-lntsrest IN
the Burlington TO the Union Pacific and
TO permit the retirement of Northern Pa
Ciflc preferred stock.
In their efforts TO determine how the
Burlington should be financed they met
with unexpected difficulties, although it
was agreed by both sides, it is said, that
q proprietary company should be organ
lied for this purpose, as well as another
proprietary company for the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific. There was
a disposition on the part of the Union Pa
cine TO surrender its Northern Pacific
stock in exchange Tor shares in a new
proprietary company, but members of the
Hartman syndicate objected to paying a
large amount OF cash for a one-half inter
est in the Burlington.
The price Of 500 share was thought to
pe 100 large ana II all caSh were PAID Tor
the Burlington it would mean an outlay
Of 500, 600 900, which was entirely different
from what the Hartman people had in
mind.
It was said to-day that the most likely
way out Of the difficulty would be the sur
render Of the Union Pacific holdings of
Northern Pacific in exchange for an in
terest in the burlington. The former are
about S17,000,O00. par value, and are said
70 have cost something more than that
n ffgure.
But if the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern accepted the exchange the
Northern Pacific Company would be buy
irg its own stock. 1t is believed that the
Two proprietary companies will afford a
method Of getting out Of this dilemma,
but at the moment things are not pro-
crossing very rapidly.

WED DESPITE OBJECTION
OF YOUNG LADY'S PAREN rs
Returned Philippine Soldier and His
Betrothed Scoff at Paternal
Wrath

SAN JOSE. Nov. ia pretty love ro-
nance, in which Tom Murphy, a re-
turned Philippine soldier, and Miss Annie
Thole are the principals, has just come
to light. For five years Papa Thole's re-
fusal to consent to a marriage delayed
the ceremony. On August 27, however,
the young couple went to Oakland and
welded. This they kept secret until a
few days ago, when they decided to ask
fol the forgiveness of their parents. The
young lady's parents were obdurate, and
even ordered Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy away.
Murphy first met his sweetheart while
employed in a laundry belonging to the
girls parents. After few weeks they
became engaged, but her father objected
to Murphy because of his wildness. Miss
Thole refused to give him up, and prom
ised Murphy that if he would quit drink
ing she would marry him.
The Spanish war broke out about this
time and Murphy enlisted in one of the
State regiments and later went to the
Philippines with the Thirty-fifth United
States Volunteers. He abstained from
drink and each month sent his betrothed
the major portion of his SIS 60. By strict
attention to duty Murphy arose to a non
commissioned officers post.
When Murphy was mustered out last
year he and Miss Thole again went be-
fore her parents to ask their consent but
paterfamilias still refused Finally they
decided to wait no longer and the trip to
Oakland followed.
