There Is a moral principle involved in the so-called negro problem, and the convention must recognize 1t and reck- on with it, counsels the Richmond, Vir- ginia Times. "There are great many negroes in this State who are not quail flied to vote and they ought to be dis franchised. But in dealing with the question of suffrdSe and in dealing with the question of public education and related questions, we must deal justly, in a way becoming the Anglo Saxon race, in a way becoming those who profess and call themselves Chris tlans, and in a way that will command the black mans respect and conff- dence"

The sexton of one of the biggest churches in New York says that he knows more than five hundred women who make practice of attending church funerals. He added that it would be impossible almost to drag these same women to a church wedding. There is something so magnetic in church funerals as to be simply ire eistible to them. Some of these women ever they attend services Of this kind, regardless of the fact that they may have had no acquaintance with the de- ceased or his family.

BURCHERS CHANGE FRONT
Many Enlist with British for
Service Against Former
Comrades.

Bloemfontein, March 11-DeWet is
reported to be moving northward
steadily at the rate of % miles a day.
He should now be west of Kroonstadt.
Several small commands are in possess
sion Of the southeastern portion of
Orange River Colony, from which the
garrisons of Dewetsdorp, Wepenel,
Smithield and Rockville have been
withdrawn.
1t is impossible not to be struck with
the fact that a great portion Of the
former enemies Of Great Britain in
South Africa now frankly throw in
their lot with the British. At Brand
fort, Kroonstadt and Bloemfontein,
companies of e~x-burghers are now
bearing arms against the Beers. They
state their object is not to operate
against their former comrades, but to
defend their homes and property against
marauding bands. Every town in
Orange colony occupied by the British
is soon to become a center of British
influence. extending a long distance in
their vicinity.
Over IS, 900 refugees are now within
the British lines, and many OF them
demand arms and permission to take
the field. If their requests are grant
ed, it will be easy to get 1000 ex-
burghers enrolled on the British side.

ANTHRACITE COAL.
Discovered in Large Quantities on Sage
Creek.

The Fergus County Argus says:
Reports have been brought from Utica
by f. r. Warren to the effect that
anthracite coal has been discovered on
Sage Greek in large quantities by the
drilling outfits which has been located
there this winter under direction of
the Great Northern Railway company.
The coal was struck at the depth Of
400 feet and is Of fine quality. The
bed, which is located near the Snge
Creek Sheep company's home ranch,
covers a large area of ground and will
no doubt prove an extremely valuable
property. This discovery will supply
a long felt want in the country as the
coal which is at present being used is
soft and full of waste, being absolutely
no good for blacksmithing and extrem-
ely dirty for use in the house. An
thracite coal has been up to the present
time too expensive a luxury for coal
consumers in this section of the coun-
try it costing $14 per ton at the rail-
road. This country has no doubt in
ages past once been heavily timbered
and the breaking up of the ground by
volcanic forces and the earthly de-
posits of years have covered beds Of
carbon to a considerable depth, but no
doubt anthracite coal exists in large
quantities and could be found if pros
pected for in a proper manner.

PLEASED NOBLER ONES
Breezy Account by Associated
Press of Bull Fight
at Nice.

Nice. March 11-Ever since the bull
ring opened here a few weeks ago the
people have been longing for an ex-
hibition more exciting than is allowed
by the government regulations. Their
desire, was gratified yesterday, when
without interference by the au-
thorities, a large crowd witnessed an
exhibition calculated to satisfy the
most callous and bloodthirsty.
The bulls tortured were splendid
creatures and fought gamely. One
tossed a Spanish matador named
Robert, who, however, was little hurt.
Another matador was badly gored in
the groin. Three horses, wretched,
blindfolded, starvlings, were disem-
bowled. Two of the bulls jumped the
barrier, causing a panic among the on
lockers, but apparently nobody was
hurt.
Finally Robert, after a dramatic ap.
peal to the crowd, which yelled GRAZ
lily for the blood of the bulls, stabbed
the beast while the ''nobler'' animals
looked on, holding their breath and
glaring in silence at the creatures
fall. Then they believed their ap-
plause, the women showering flowers
and the men coins upon the matadors.

PASS EVANS BILL.

Salt Lake, March 11-.Today, three
days before the legislature comes to a
close, the house, by a vote of rs to II,
after an exciting debate, in which
more than a dozen members particle
pated, passed the Evans senate bill
amending a portion Of the revised
statutes of Utah, relating to prosecu-
lions for adultery. Having passed the
senate last week the document now
goes to the governor for his signature.
This bill has caused more discussion
and more feeling than n measure
introduced in the present session Of the

AND BIG BUMPS ON MANY
HEADS.
DEEDS Of BURLY MADMAN
Drank Warm Blood from Slaught-
cred Fowl Then Sought
Human Gore.

Columbus, o., March 11-Shackled
and handcuffed and badly battered,
John Wilcox, an insane man of almost
gigantic size, was placed in the county
Jail here yesterday. Wilcox inaugu-
rated a reign of terror in Worthington,
this county, and the following are the
results of his maniacal frenzy:
Deputy Sheriff E. O. Buell. at his
home in this city, dangerously injured
Sheriff Charles Pea1ce, lacerated face
Ed, PLAN, criminal our bailiff, con-
fined to his bed from injuries; w. j.
Dawson, Worthlngton, bruised and
mangled; Wilcox's house badly dam
aged by fire; Wilcox's grandson, al
ready i'll with fever, on the verge of
collapse; Thomas hardware store a
wreck, and half the population OF the
little town nursing sore heads.
Wilcox is a prosperous farmer. AL
though melancholy at times, he never
showed any signs of insanity or vio-
lence until yesterday morning, when
his wife killed a chicken for dinner.
The sight of blood made him frantic.
He caught other chickens, cut off their
heads and drank their blood. He then
stripped off all his clothes and started
for Wo1thington.
Mrs. Wilcox telephoned to the
sheriff, who sent two deputies after
the mad man. The officers found Will
cox in Lewis hardware store, and
when they attempted to arrest him,
Wilcox knocked down Deputy Buell.
with a stool. The other deputy fled.
Buell. fell close to a counter which
was used to display a supply of hard
ware, including a large assortment of
butcher knives. Wilcox seized a knife
in each hand and announced that he
would shed Buell's blood. Here Daw-
SOL approached. Wilcox insisted that
Dawson arm himself and the two men
pranced down the main street of
Worthlngton, brandishing knives and
bowling like dervishes. At Wilcox's
request they returned to Wilcox's
home and Dawson kept him quiet
until the arrival Of four more deputy
sheriffs from the city, reinforcements
having been telephoned for.
Wilcox routed the four and then
went after Dawson with a poker and
a hammer. He had half killed the
man when he upset the stove, setting
fire to the house. After putting out
the fire, Dawson ran into the town and
sounded a general alarm. A posse Of
citizens, led by eight deputy sheriffs,
went at once to Wilcox's place and
after a struggle lasting two hours, in
which half a dozen persons were
wounded. the maniac was captured.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

Milwaukee, March 1.-THE most
destructive sleet storm in years visited
Wisconsin Sunday, cutting the city off
from communication with the outside
world and demoralizing railroad
traffic. Railway men of wide exper-
fence say that such a situation has
never before presented itself to them.
Officials of the telegraph companies re-
port that between 600 and 700 poles
are down between Milwaukee and CHI
cago and that it will take a large num-
Der of men several days to repair the
damage.

CAN MAKE ANOTHER ENTRY.
Concerns Homesteaders Who Have Filed
On Land and Never Proved Up.

Concerns Homesteaders Who Have Filed
on Land and Never Proved Up.
A matter of much concern to resi-
dents Of Yellowstone county, who have
taken up homesteads is contained in
the following act approved by con-
gress June 5, 1900. 1t Is estimated
that no less than 100 people are
affected by it, to the extent that it
enables them to again take up another
entry:
"That any person who has hereto
fore made entry under the homestead
laws and committed same under pro-
visions of section z, 1901 of the revised
statutes of the United States and the
amendments thereto shall be entitled
to the benefits of the homestead laws,
as though such former entry had not
been made, except that communication
under the provisions of section 2, 301
Of the revised statutes shall not be
allowed of an entry made under this
section of this act.
"That any person who prior to the
passage of this act, has made entry
under the homestead laws. but from
any cause has lost or forfeited the
same shall be entitled to the benefits
of the homestead laws DIS though such
former entry had not been made:
Provided, that persons who purchased
and under and in accordance with the
terms of an act entitled AN act to
provide for the sale of lands patented
to certain of the Flathead band of
Indians in the Territory of Montana,
and for other purposes approved
March 2, 1899, shall not be held to
have impaired or exhausted their
homestead rights by or on account of
any such PURPOSE"

CABINET MEMBERS WILL AC-
COMPANY PRESIDENT.
PLANS OF WESTERN TOUR
Include Establishment of Regularly
Equipped Office Aboard
the Train.

Washington, March 1.-THE presi.
dent has given definite assurance tc
California friends that he will 20 tc
the Pacific coast in the spring. He
expects to leave here the latter part OF
April or early in May. The outlook
now is that the party, which will in.
clude members of the cabinet and the
Ohio delegation i'll congress, will &c
out by the Southern Pacific route,
stopping first at New Orleans. Several
stops will be made in Texas. There
is talk that at Ell Paso the president
will meet and shake hands with Presi
dent Diaz of Mexico. Stops on the
coast will be numerous.
The return will be made by a north
ern route. Altogether five or six
weeks will be consumed making the
trip.
President Mckinley will start for
California according to the present
programme on Tuesday, April 80.
He will proceed up the coast, probably
as far as Washington and will return
through the northern Rocky mountain
states. One important arrangement
which has been suggested is for the
presidential party to take a steamer
from Duluth and make the lake trip to
Buffalo in order to visit the Pan
American exposition there. Arrange
ments will be made for the prompt
transaction of important business that
may arise while the president and
cabinet are en- route and a regularly
equipped office with the force of
stenographers, clerks and telegraph
operators, will be established aboard
the train.

SOUNDS NOTE
OF WARNING
PRESIDENT HADLEY SEES DAN
GER IN TRUSTS.
MENACE TO PUBLIC LIBERTY
Legislation Must Break Them
or Emperor Will Rule
at Washington.

Boston. March 11-President hadley
of Yale college, in a discourse in the
new Old South chucrh last night, de-
clared that unless the trusts were
broken through legislation there would
be an emperor in this country within
25 years.
1.-THE development of a public con-
science was his topic, and in the
corsue of his remarks he said: "There
is an appalling contrast between our
methods of dealing with each other as
individuals and the low standard OBJ
served in dealings as between different
parts Of the whole organization of So
ciety. Competition used to prevent a
man from practicing great %extortions
upon his neighbors, ever if he wanted
to, and in politics we had at least a
rough form Of relative justice.
"But today, with our industries or
ganized into trusts and the imperial
istic spirit developing in politics, the
general development of the principle
Of trusteeships will become appalling,
unless we cultivate a higher standard
Of morality than ever before.
"Trusts have got to be regulated by
public sentiment and that public senti-
ment is not merely the opinion of any
particular part Of the whole people,
but is a readiness to accept, in behalf
of the community, restrictions, indie
pendent of the question of whether
you or I should be personally harmed
nv these rdstricfionc
"You say the community will not
be governed by this principle. We
must expect that the community will,
however. for the alternative is an m
peror in Washington within 25 years.
"Public affairs can no longer be
played as a game, but must be directed
By the intelligent and active public
conscience, individual effort is help
less and hopeless.
"The public conscience must be
awakened, as 1900 years ago Christ
awakened it, and it can be, if we con-
tinue to preach the gospel which He
preached" .-

FOR CONTRABAND TRADING.

Manila, March Sit is reported
that the small steamers Oriente and
Carmal, plying on the Passig river
and Laguna de Bay, have been seized,
it being alleged that they were trad
ing with the insurgents. C%ontraband
articles were found aboard the steam
ers. The Oriente had been seized
previously, but had been released, the
charges against her not being sufficient
to justify her being held. This time,
however, the evidence of illegal trad
ing is stronger. The authorities are
determined to stop smuggling on
Laguna de Bay and other arrests may
follow.

tiercely. Kelly, hopelessly beaten,
went down thrice without a blow in
the second round. He was disqualified
