BoBR INVADERS MOVING NORTH.


mmandos Find the Orange River
TordnbIe at Almost Every Point
Cape Town, March 26.-Nearly all the
Invading Boer comrnandos are now
endeavoring to get to the north as the
Orange river is again fordable at al
most any point.
Lord Methuen has been very active
recently and from British standpoint
has done lot Of good work. He has
been constantly engaged in minor skir
nishes and so far as reported has not
had u single casualty for several weeks,
while the Beers have had an average
of three killed daily.
On the occasion of the fight near
Wolmaranstad the Beers had an elab-
crate scheme to concentrate a superior
force against Methuen, while his col
umn was incumbered with prisoners,
cattle, etc. Methuen was too quick for
General Delarey, who arrived late, and
the plan fell through.
Small parties of Beers are concen
trating near the boundary of the Grad.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HAWAII.
Bill to Prohibit Afflicted Persons
From Residing In the Islands.

Honolulu, via San Francisco. March
26.-A bill will be presented to the
house to prohibit persons afflicted with
leprosy or tuberculosis from admission
to the territory. Reports from the
board of health show that tuberculosis
has increased in the islands at an
alarming rate, and stringent measures
to restrict it must be taken.
What is regarded as the most impor-
tant measure to come before the legis-
lature was presented in the senate on
March 10 by ID. Kanuho of the native
party. 1t was the dispensary bill, pro-
viding for government control of the
liquor traffic.
The bill differs somewhat from the
South Carolina measure. 1t is not of
such length and eliminates the consta-
BILE or spy system. Officers of the de.
partment are given public authority.
and they alone are expected to carry
ont the provisions Of the act The 9th
or details, as laid down by the South
Carolina law, are observed so far as
they relate to the government owning
and controlling saloons, inspecting liq-
uurs, selling in bottles and not permit
ting drinking on the premises where
the liquor is sold. In addition to con
trolling the liquor traffic the bill also
deals with the opium industry.
The dispensary idea is acceptable Il
! the natives of the islands.

HEARING FOR PATRICK.
lawyer In Court ON Charge of SIay-
ing Millionaire Rice.


ing Millionaire Rice.
New York, March 26.--The long de-
layed hearing in the arraignment Of
Albert L. Patrick for the murder of
William M. Rice, the Texas millionaire,
began in the library Of the criminal
court building. Justice William Ira
vers Jerome of the court of special ses-
sions presided as a committing magis-
trate.
David L. Short testified to securing
an appointment as commissioner of
deeds for the state Of Texas on the
advice of Patrick, from whom he
bought an official seal. He said he
never used the seal ON any documents
other than those he acknowledged fol-
Mr.. Rice nor ever did any work as COM
missioner for any one but Rice.
The hearing is the most serious phase
that the intricate Rice tragedy has yet
assumed. Its complications were indi-
Gated when Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne told the reporters that the
preliminary hearing will occupy al
least two weeks.
Ever since Patrick was arrested, on
Oct. last, he has been prisoner In
the Tombs on a charge of forgery. Fol
this alleged offense he was arraigned
before Magistrate Brann and held fol
the grand jury. Charles +. Jones, Mr.
Rice's valet, was arrested with Jones
and held with him on the forgery
charge. Jones subsequently made {
confession
Patrick was led into court by detect
ives, accompanied by his counsel. Fred
erick NJ. House. His confinement IL
the Tombs has told upon him. He ha'
the prison pallor and looked nervous
and haggard.
Jones followed Mr.. Osborne into cour
and sat down by the side of his lawyer
George Gordon Battle, on the opposite
side of the room from Patrick.

swept through here visited practically
every hamlet in Jefferson county after
passing through this city. Although
no complete list 0f the dead and injur-
ed has been compiled, 1S persons are
known to have been killed and between
30 and 40 badly injured.
Following were the points visited by
the storm: Birmingham, Pratt City,

lawn and Avondale.
At Avondale the dead are: G.. w.
Gardner, white, carpenter; Mamie

the high school building, the commits
sariat of the Tennessee Coal and Iron

rect, as all telegraph and telephone

the larger number of the sufferers are
negroes and the poorer classes of
whites, the suffering among many of

wounds in their efforts to save their
scattered household effects or look aft
er the dead and more seriously wound

been obtained, but this is thought to
be only about half the number who
are hurt.
