KITCHENER SURROUNDS BOERS.
Now Feared That Dutch Would No
 Resist Call of De Wet

KtSISC CdII or Dt Ntt.
 Cape Town. Jan 24.-General kitch- ener is disposing great forces semi circularly, his extreme left resting on the sea, to circumvent the Boers. The columns move simultaneously in touch with each other. The greatest danger of the situation is the possibility of General De Vets appearance in Cape Colony. It is believed that none of the Dutch would resist his personal call to arms. They think the fame of Napoleon and Wellington paleS in the presence of his military genius. Among a number of captured letters is one from General Hertzog to President Steyn, asking for 1000 unmarried young men to enter Cape Colony and beat up recruits.

SEQUOYAH'S PORTRAIT.

The Fort Gibson Post says that
prominent in the Cherokee exhibit
at the 81. Louis exposition win bel
a large portrait Of sequoyah, the'
inventor of she Cherokee alphabst.a
Too much honor cannot be bestow-
ed upon ssquoyah's memery but
il ia not likely atirue portrait cf
bis features will ever be ohtained.
We are satisfied that no portrait Of
the American Cadmus was ever
made. The impression that Ss-
quoyeh's portrait was painted by
caain. the great German artiss
who SSirs@a a number of western
scenc,cisore than fifty years ago,
aud that it Is now in the Royal
Museum at Berlin, Is without ioun-
dation. Mr.. W. j. Weaver, Of
this city, who was well acquainted
with Sequoyab, wrote, several
years ago, to a friend in Berlin,
requesting him to visit the museum
and ascertain if the portrait in
question existed. The request was
complied with, but the inyestiga-
ton disclosed the fact that while
the museum contained the por-
traits of several noted Indians,
that of Sequoyah was not among
them. The picture of Sequoyah
which sometimes appears in books
aud magazines is the creation Of
an artist who never saw the Amer
ican Cadmus, and whose only
knowledge of Indians has been
obtained from books of felton,

The main contention Of the de-
Tense ia the Nelson murder caee,
in asking new trial. was the die
covery OF new evidence. II intro
duced many aliidavits on this
point. Among them, Patrick Dob
bins in mis- affidavit testified SUBJ
stentially that he had on one oc-
ycaeion heard Albert Morris say
that he would kill John Nelson on
sight and that he saw Morris at
tack Nelson.
Ferguson Lemon, Of Vinita. /.
T., also swore that he bad heard
Morris threaten to kill Nelson at
the first opportunity.
George Vann, Of Cofleyville in
his affidavit, for the defense. tesii-
fed that he had met Morris in Col-
feyville just few minutes before
me killing and that Morris asked
him IL he had seen Nelson. That
Morris further said that be was
looking for Nelson end would kill
him. on sight. Yann bad made
contradictory statements for the
state. To o4set ihis the defence
undertook % prove that Nann had
been made drunk by emissaries
Of the state before sssiiiying. The
cour, refused to let Vann so on the
stand to show this.
The state introduced many alii
davits in rebuttal and among them
were afidaviis from the best peo-
pls OF Nowata showing that no
Patrick Dobbins lived near No
wala as claimed.
The defense claimed that error
had been committed by the bailia
in the handling Of the jury by leav-
ing them alone at times and allow
ing them to separate. The state
introduced the alIidavits Of eight
out Of the twelve jurors stating
that they had talked to no one and
that no one had talked to them
during tie trial.
The motion for new trial was
oyerruled aud the court suspended
sentence on Nelson for three weeks
to give the defense time 10 get the
Transcripts ready to appeal the case

Having made the best contest l
could to win long delayed represen-
tation for the Tidewater section In
the executive branch OF our State
Government, | have been solicited
by many friends in both counties to
stand for reflection to my present
Office. 1t has been urged that, in
view OF the great Importance OF the
next Assembly's work, following on
the adoption, or PRONUNCIATION, oil
Dew Constitution, my position on the
standing committees OF the Senate,
my eight years experience In that
body, and my acknowledged famili-
arity with our Tidewater affairs,
would make me an available and
timely representative OF our East
ern Shore interests. In addition to
this, as a member of joint commits
sion to report upon certain interstate
rights between Virginia and Mary
land as to our oyster and fish inter-
ests and as chairman of the Peniten-
tiary Commission, l must be neces-
sarily very closely identified with
much important work during the
coming session. therefore offer my
services to represent the interests OF
the Thirty-seventh district, during
the next term, to the best of my abil-
| ity. My official record is before the
public, and l shall be doubtless
Judged on that record rather than
ON the merit of any mere pledges OF
promises may here put forward. |
shall therefore beg the nomination
OF the Democratic party by what
ever method may be determined
upon.
