joined the Beers have been hanged at
Vryburg. The death sentence of a
number of other condemned men have
been committed to penal servitude.
Commandant Lotter, the Cape rebel
whose commando. consisting almost
wholly of rebels, was captured south
of Petersburg in September and who
was sentenced to death, was executed
yesterday morning. He had been tried
and found guilty on eight counts, in
Guiding sedition, the murder of colored,
unarmed scouts, the murder of troopers
in action, the blowing up of railroads
and the c%owhiding Of British subjects
and Europeans. Lotter pleaded that he
was a citizen of the Orange Free State,
but this was disproved.

A DEATH
A Fireman In a Wreck on the Norfolk
and Western Scalded to Death

Roanoke. Va, October lin a wreck
on the Norfolk and Western road near
Dublin. Va, today Frank Lavender, a
fireman on a Cripple Creek passenger
engine, met a horrible death. While
running from Pulaski to Dublin his en-
CINE crashed into another engine at
tached to the real end Of a freight train
which was standing on the main line.
Both engines were badly wrecked and
fireman Lavender, whose legs were
caught by falling from the engines
tender, was scalded to death by steam.
Hanging from the cab window, he begg-
ed piteously for help, but the by-stand-
ers were powerless to aid him owing
to the fast escaping steam.
The blame for the accident is attribu-
ted to the engineer who was unhurt.
1t is claimed he was running too fast
and a dense fog prevented his seeing
ahead. The dead fireman was from
Pulaski and had been married only oae
month.

Appointments at the South.

Washington, October u.-Attorney
General Knox made a verbal report to
the president and cabinet today regard
ing the result Of his investigation into
the Pacific cable question. His conclu-
sion was that under the law Of 1866

States or OF its possessions. The pres
ident and cabinet were convinced by
h verbal report that no executive &C.
ton is called for at this time.
The question of southern appoint
ments generally again came up and the
president reiterated his policy OF APP
pointing republicans. IL suitable appli-
cants could be found and IL not Of ap-
pointing gold democrats. His policy in
this respect meets the approval OF the

OUT OF HER own SPOON
Will Our Government Feed England as
to Concessionsin Ccnqured Countries

washington, October I2.-Attorney
Seneral Knox had a long conference
with President Roosevelt today in re-
gard to the application Of The Pacific
Commercial Cable Company to lay a ca
Die from the United States to the Phil
ippines by way of Hawaii and Guam.
Mr.. Knox advised the president to take
no action at present. but to await fur
ther information as to the purpose of
the company after its cable was COM
pieted to the Philippines.
1t rs deemed desirable to know
whether 1t would extend its own line
to China or would make some arrange
ment with the English that
already has a cable from Hong Kong
TO Manila The attorney general re-
garded il as very important hat there
Mould be a complete line from the
United States to the Philippines and
n continent of Asia, as in case of war
1t might be necessary for the United
states not only to control a cable line
to the Philippines, but also TO control
a line from the Philippines to China
or some other point in Asia.
The matter of the Spanish concession
granted in 1898 TO the English COM
pany giving it an exclusive franchise
for cable connections in the Philip
pines was carefully considered. At
torney General Knox advised the presi-
lent that this exclusive franchise
would not hold. He cited the recent ac-
ton by the Transvaal commission
which held that concessions granted
by the Boer government in the Trans
vaal would not be recognized as valid
by the British government.
