INTEREST IN TEST CASE.
Enormous Shipments of Mules and
 Horses to South Africa.


 New York, April 5.--A special to the Times from Washington says:
 "At the War Department much interest is felt in the determination of the case brought in from New Orleans to test the right of Great Britain to obtain supply of horses and mules for South African service in the United States. The impress sion is that the view of the department of state, that the citiens of the United States may sell horses and mules to the citizens of Great Britain without subject ing the government to the charge of viola tion of the neutrality laws, will prevail in New Orleans. If 1t does not the im- mediate effect of a decision favoring the argument of the Boer representatives would, be to create very decided differ ence in the cost of animals to the United States government, and great deal of dissatisfaction among dealers in horses and mules, who have been obtaining prices for animals for two years or more.
 "There were shipped from this country to Africa during the eight months ending with February n,a42 horses valued at q, ,9ss.670. Tn the same period there were shipped. principally to Africa, N,594 mules valued at |, eos. .O4O. In February alone the shipments of horses to Africa were 2960, and of mules to all points, assumed to be chiefly to Africa. 3980. It does not appear that any of these horses and mules went to the Boers. but 1t was maintained that there would be no objection to selling to

They Claim They Wanted to Take College Girls to a
 Duck Supper

April 5.-Ffve young men belonging to the best and wealthiest families of Bowling Green, and themselves members of the city's most exclusive social circles, were indicted by the grand. jury for participating in the escapdes at Potter's College Saturday night in which several young women att tending the college were also involved The young men are Roland Fitch, Willis Potter, Pleasant Potter, Floyd Nahm and Harry Nahm. It is charged that they placed ladder to window of the college and enticed the girls from the college and that when Professor CabeIl. president of the college, fired upon the men they returned the fire without wounding him. The young women are named in the in- dictments. The young men allese that they intended to take the girls to duck supper.

the Boers if they wished to buy and were willing to take chances in having their cargoes captured on the way out.
 The effect of these great shipments of horses and mules has been to run the prices of these animals up far above the usual rates. The United States gov ernment has had to pay the prices estab- lished by the British demand. The rail- roads and the dealers in horses and mules are perfectly satisfied. The Illinois Gen. tral railroad is reported as having sent to New Orleans during the year more than 10000 horses, and this was only one of many roads carrying animals for ship ment to Africa
 Tt may be mentioned that the number of horses required by the British seems large to the War Department, which was staggered by the demand for 10000 horses to be sent to the Philippines

HE RETIRES IN DISGRACE

Berlin, April 5.-Baron von Egeloffstein, hitherto Emperor Williams court mar shal. has resigned his position, and will be succeeded by Baron Trotha, the court chamberlain. The former has been grant ed long leave of absence during which the succession will follow. He retires in disgrace because the Kaiser rightly or wrongly, attributes to him the commun- ication to the press of several recent versions of his majesty's public utter ances that are said to have been dis torted.
 Baron von Egeloffstein, who is wealthy man, will repair to his fathers estate and will become candidate for the Reichstag.

It then proceeds to point out that the constitution awards to the Emperor the right to conclude commercial treaties, and says 1t deems 1t doubtful whether he will do so unless the agrarians force him by unreasonable opposition. The Prussian government has sent a circular decree to all provincial authorities and to the mu- nicipality of Berlin regarding measures which are recommended to lessen the scarcity of dwellings, throughout Prussia. The decree advises that communes should erect at their own risk cheap dwellings, for employees, the laboring population and persons of relatively small incomes It also urges electric lines for quicker sub urban communication, and mentions a number of legal steps that would hinder excessive real estate speculation in which 1t sees very great danger. Finally 1t promises to introduce bill in the Prus- sian Diet dealing with the whole matter | The latest list showing the scarcity of | dwellings accompanies the circular.

New York, April 5.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says:
 The Boers are still active in destroying trains They attacked two trains last Saturday near Johannesburg but were driven off before they could secure any loot. Traffic along the railways in South Africa just now is very uncertain and the reopening of the Rand mines will present serious supply problems. DeWet appears still to be at vrede, notwithstanding the stories of his crossing the Vaal and great precautions are being taken to prevent Botha reaching him or conferring with him.

 MT. Claypool says he has tried to com ply with all the requirements of the union since coming to Birmingham. but that he will now employ such persons as he pleases without regard to the union. In his statement he says:
 Last Monday we were endeavoring to get wire through to Avondale in order to fulfill promise to one of our patrons and in order to finish the work in time we found 1t necessary to employ several negroes to string the wires on the poles. They simply carried the wires up on the that the line could be used temporarily until 1t could be fixed permanently. These negroes did not work with white men and had nothing to do with the regular force of linemen However the linemen kicked and yesterday refused to go to work.
 Since coming to Birmingham our com pany has shown every consideration to organized labor every bit of the work be- ing done by union men at union prices We have employed only white linemen while every other concern doing business in the city has used both colored and white linemen. We believe in organized labor andl tried some time with great difficulty. to live up to its requirements: but when, after all this, we employed a few negroes to meet an emergency and the men acted as they did, it cured us. In future, so far as I am concerned, I shall employ any one I choose, without regard to race, color or union, the only requirement. being ability to do the work"
