BRITISH ARMY
IS GOING NORTH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR CON-
QUEST AND PAC1FICATIoN
OF TRANSVAAL.

New York, April 3.-The news from
Lord Kitchener that General Plummer
has occupied Nylstrom, is taken to mean,
the London correspondent of the Tribune
says, that the British army in South Az
RIGA has at last resumed the northern
advance toward Pietermaritzburg. Nyl-
strom is situated little ways off the
railroad about ninety miles north of Pre-
toria. 1t was held for a few days by
General Baden Powell in August last
year, but had to be evacuated because
the force then at Lord Roberts disposal
was insufficient at once to provide per-
manent garrison and to secure the rail-
way line northward from Pretoria. There
can be little doubt that Lord Kitchener's
latest report indicates the execution of a
comprehensive plan for the conquest and
pacification of the northern Transvaal.
With the occupation of Pietermaritz-
burg, all trunk lines Of railway would ns
lost to the Beers, but there is a heavy
task in protecting another line Of COM
munication, 25O miles long. that would be
added to the burden of the British army.

ST. LOUIS DEMOCRACY.
Multiplicity Of Tickets Did Not Spoil
Their Victory.

st. Louis, April 3.-Complete returns
show the election by plurality of 1855
of RoEa Wells, the democratic candi-
date for mayor. The remainder of the
democratic ticket was also elected by
about the same pluralities, and that
party will control the house of dele
gates. The vote for mayor on the four
principal tickets was as follows. Ac-
Cording to the latest compilation of re-
turns by the police, with one precinct
lnisSing, the vote on mayor at noon
stands: Wells, 43,O12; Parker, 34,S46;
Meriwether 30, 568; Filley, 2121.
The returns indicate that the house
of delegates will be made up as follows:
Thirteen democrats, twelve republicans
and three public ownership members.
Yesterdays total vote was 110,42O, about
10000 les than that cast at the national
election in 1900. There were six tickets
in the field and the independent move
naent drew votes from both the demo-
<rat and republican parties. Compared
with the vote cast for presidential can
d;dates in 1900. yesterdays vote shows a
less of fully 43 per cent for the repub-
deans and go per cent for the democrats.

URGE HIM To
STOP THE WAR
AGUINALDO HAlTING Between
OPINIONS.
He WOULD LIKE TO GIVE UP
BUT DUTY CALLS HIM TO STAY
WITH THE REBELS TO THE
LAST DITCH.

Manila, April 3.-COnstancia ProbletO,
daughter of the former chief of the Ka-
tipunan society, who is president of the
WOman's Peace League, was permitted
to have long interview with Aguinaldo.
She reports having found him in a
quandary, professedly desirious Of peace,
yet reluctant to abandon the idea of Fill
pino Independence.
He seemed unable to make UP his
mind regarding the oath of allegiance to
the United States," she says, because he
had sworn eternal fealty to the Filipino
flag and had been elected leader of the
revolution. He showed disnclination
to assist in ending the insurrection,
though he bowed somewhat to public sem
timent. He wanted a conference in or
der to ascertain the wishes of the Fill
pino people and suggested that a con-
vention consisting of half insurrectos and
half of pacificos should consider the
matter.
Il told him that 80 per cent Of the
population were in favor Of peace and
he responded:
Even SO, my lot is yet with those
uphOding the cause of the insurgents.
With their consent, / would quit but
otherwise, how can I? BY the trickery Of
Americans i was captured. NOW that
am prisoner, I must consider what is
best. Liberty is sweet, but those whom
I would desert would hate me. Hard
is my lot. If paroled I would respect
my word, but sometimes I think exile
and Imprisonment would be preferable.' 1"
When Aguinaldo arrived here as asked
to see Mabini. On being told that Ma
bini was in Guam, he wished to consult
with Chief Justice Arellano. General
Trias and Salaza. the secretary Of the
interior in the so-caled Filipino gov
ernment, who surrendered with General
Trias. They urged him to reflect upon
the ruin already wrought and the woe
and destruction which continuance Of
the war would entail and they advised
him to accept american cltmency. 9th
ers did the same. Aguinaldo stubbornly
held out, but allowed himself by degrees
to be persuaded.
Senorita Probleto says that Aguinaldo
shows distrust of the educated Fill
pinos and is largely guided by the pre-
judices of the lower class.
His wife, mother and sister visit him
daily.

In Atchison and Leavenworth the tenn

H|I,;r
WITH MERCURY
EMBALMING WOULD DESTROY
ITS TRACES,
PATRICK DREW UP THE WILL
WHEN He FOUND THAT TT WAS
NOT SAFE TO CLAIM THE
WHOLE RICE ESTATE.

New York, April 3.-Chas. F. Jones. the
valet-secretary of VIM. NJ. Rice, the rich
Iexan, resumed the giving of testimony
today IN the proceedings against Albert
L. Patrick who is charged with causing
R1ce's death in order to obtain his prop
erty by means of a will, deeds and checks
which 1t is alleged We're forged. Jones be-
gan today by relating that on Monday,
the day following Rices death, four men
We're representing themselves to be law
yers, called at the flat and asked uues-
tions concerning the circumstances sur
rounding the death. Jones told Patrick
he thought these men We're detectives.
The next morning Jones went to police
headquarters. When he returned home
he found number of detectives in the
place. On Tuesday afternoon he was
taken to police headquarters, where he
was questioned. He found Patrick also
at headquarters. Patrick told Jones he
had discovered the will witnessed in his
(Patrick's) Office and number of bogus
letters We're written on the will matter.
On this occasion Jone stestified, Patrick
asked when Rice had last been given
mercury.
Il told him on Thursday" said Jones.
Patrick then told me that there would
tenn at the time of the autopsy and that
the embalming fluid would kill all traces
of all the aolic acid which was vegeta-
BILE poison
Witness then told of DR.. Curry having
come to the apartments on Tuesday
where he met Patrick. The two had a
long talk which Jones did not hear. The
co-called Patrick will,' was then
brought up. Jones said he had told Pat
rick that the provisions for Rice's rea-
tives interest which was discovered on
the day following Rice's death We're too
small and that it would be impossible to
get it probated Patrick Jones said, then
had the o-called Patrick will drawn. The
witness related at length the incidents Of
| the day when the body Of Rice was Gre
mated.
While the testimony about the will was
being given, Captain Baker Of Texas, who
was an executor of the 1896 will entered
the trial room. He carried a bundle OF
papers and some typewriter matter and
said he might be called as witness.
From the events of the day when the
body was cremated Jones passed over the
happenings of October 4, the evening OF
the day he was arrested.
Jones said he was taken to police head
quarters at about 10 o'clock in the even
ing and was taken downstairs and lock-
ed up an hour later. He said before he
was locked up that he made a statement
which was entirely fictitious and of which
he could not recall even the salient
features.
Jones then told how Mr.. House had
been appointed lawyer, both for Patrick
and himself, and the events surrounding
their commitment to the Tombs. From
here Jones passed to his attempt to cons
nit suicide.

Merritt TALKS
. OF REBEL CHIEF
CALLS HIM A CATS PAW OF
CLEVER LEADERS WHO KEPT
IN THE DARK.

Chicago, April 3.-Gen. Wesley Merritt
who recently returned to Chicago, afte,
a western trip with the Commercial Club
tXculsion party, said in regard to the
capture of Aguinaldo:
"Of course there can be no doubt it will
prove effective in lessening the opposi-
ton to the American forces, still he is
only one man and never has been the
great dominating personality among the
insurgets. The fact of the case is that
while he is undeniably exceedingly clever,
he has been in reality the instrument of
lot Of shrewd leaders. The moral eff
feet of his capture will be good, but the
most hopeful feature of the situation is
an apparent realization on the part of
the leaders that continued resistance to
our forces is useless"

RELATIONS ARE FRIENDLY.
Germany and Italy Will Not Be Egged
Into War.

Berlin, April 3.-The Lokal Anzeiger
says that the conference between the
imperial chancellor. Count Won Buelow
ana Sisnor Zanardell1, the Italian pre-
mler at Verona, yesterday, which was
of considerable length, was intended to
remove the false impression created by
insinuations in the French press regard
ing the relations between Italy and Ger
many.
The paper interprets the meeting az
proving the continuance of thoroughly
friendly relations between the two coun.
tries and says that the leave taking OF
the two statesmen was cordial.
In official circles it is admitted that
while the meeting at Verona was acci-
dentel, the relations between the two
countries were discussed,
Senior Zanardelli. it is said, gave en-
tirely satisfactory assurances.

FULL
Of LIVE WIRES
PITTSBURG is A NETWORK OF
DEADLY WIRES.
WORST STORM EVER KNOWN
SNOW BLOCKS ALL BUSINESS
LIGHT, TELEPHONE AND CAR
SERVICE STOPPED.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 3.-One Of the
worst snow storms ever experienced in
this region began early to-day and soon
telegraph, telephone and trolley car serv-
ice became practically suspended. Miles
of poles are down, making the streets
literally a network of wires. The fall
ing wires throughout the outlying por-
tions of the city made it extremely dan
gerous for pedestrians. teamsters and
street car men, but up to noon no fatali-
ties have been reported. The damage
in the city will be very heavy.
The clinging snow has broken down
all the wires along the Pennsylvania
systems tracks between East Liberty
and Huntington. Trains are stalled at
various points, the dispatchers are un-
able to straighten out the tangle and
the whole division is more or less. para
lyZed. The snow upon the mountains
is from u to Is inches deep and is SO
heavy that it has brought down poles
and wires all along the road under its
weight. Extra engines have been re-
quired on all the trains and unless the
snowfall ceases soon blockade is threat
ened.
The Buffalo and Allegheny Valley sys-
TENS is in almost the came condition.
On the Western New York and Penn
sylvania divisions the snow is from 10
to IL inches in depth, the wires are down
and train schedule has been abandoned.
The trains on this road are late to-day
anywhere from 40 minutes to two hours.
On the main line of the Pennsylvania
block signals are refusing to work and
the melting snow is turning the streams
to torrents. Engineer J. w. Gilchrist, OF
train No. 19, which, although double
header, came into this city one hour
late, said his cab windows We're COM
pletely buried in snow five minutes aft
er the storm began ana that is was inn
possible to see the front Of the locomotive
during most Of the trip. The mountain
streams are rising with marvellous ra-
pidity and washouts can be expected all
along the line. The Pennsylvania lines
west are reported in very fair condition,
with only slight delays in the passen-
ger traffic: but the Baltimore and Ohio
eastward is in the same confusion as
the Pennsylvania. The wires are down
and the road in the vicinity OF Cumber-
land is said to be almost blockaded ny
snow. Trains from the east are from one
to three hours late.
