TWO DROWNED.
Result of a Panic Among Passengers
at Steamboat Dock in
ST. Louis,

ST. Louis, April 15.--In wild panic
among passengers attempting to
board the steamer Hill City, two men
were drowned in the Mississippi river
and scores were injured. The dead
are: B. Dillham and Ben Smith
(colore6. The steamer Hill City was
preparing to leave the wharf and
large crowd had gathered to get
transportation tickets. The dock
boat, which is large one, was dense
ly crowded by passengers, who were
struggling to get near the steamer.
guard rail extends around the out
er edge of the dock boat, leaving
spaces for entrance to the gang
planks. One gangplank still connect
ed the steamer with the dock, and the
mate stepped out on this and COM
menced to distribute tickets. Imme
diately there was a wild rush by the
crowd, each trying to be first at the
gangPlank. Suddenly there was a
crash as the railing gave away,
throwing a number OF the throng
into the river. Smith, Dillham and
man named Washington were caught
by the undercurrent. Some body
threw rope to Washington and res
cued him, but the other two were
swept away. In the wild rush for
safety many were trampTed on and
injured. The coroner will make an
investigation into the tragedy to fix
the responsibility for the accident.

STARTLING DISCLOSURES.
Trial of Sergeant Mefnson, the First

Manila, April 1.-THE trial Of Sergt.

were taken from a government ware
house and sold by three commissary

BOTH WIN VICTORIES.
The British Take Boer Capital and
the Latter Capture Seventy
Five British SOfAiers.

London, April 1O.-Lord Kitchener,
/ date of Pretoria, April s, says:
"Plumer has occupied Petersburg, with
slight opposition. He captured two loco
motives and 80 trucks.
The capture of Petersburg is re-
garded here as important. The place
is the terminus of the railway, and
has been the capital of the Boer gov
eminent since the evacuation of
Pretoria. The whole northern rail
way is now in the hands of the Brit
ish.
AS an offset, the commander-in-
chief reports that a detachment of
100 men of the Fifth 1ancers and i'm
perial yeomanry were attacked by
400 Beers to the northward of Aber-
deem, Cape Colony and that after
several hours fighting the British
were surrounded and captured, with
the exception of IS who succeeded in
making their escape.
London, April 1.-THE report that
Gen. Botha has renewed the negotia
tions with Lord Kitchener is not yet
officially confirmed, but it is generally
credited and received with satisfac-
ton.

BAN ON AMERICAN BEEF.
BRUSH Government Decides to Use
None But HOMEGROWN Product
for Army Contracts

Washington, April 12.--The depart
ment of agriculture has received a dis
patch from a prominent packing COM
pany of Chicago announcing that they
have just been advised that the Eng
fish government has excluded all beef
except home-bred, from the British
army contracts. This, it is stated, is
to be effective June 1 next
Washington, April 13.-Secretary
Hay has cabled to Ambassador
Choate an inquiry into the reason for
the order of the British government,
measure which excludes the Amer
lean refrigerated beef heretofore
used. This action is taken at the in
stance of the department of agricul-
tUre.
London, April 13.-The British war
office confirms the report that it is 60
ing to try the experiment of supply
ing the army with only ome-grown
beef. The experiment will extend six
months, from June 1.
The director of contracts, Il major,
said to representative of the press:
''The new rule applies only to refriger-
market in London. It will not seriously
affect the American trade, the total
weekly supply for the army is only 200 000
pounds, which is barely two per cent. of
the weekly imports of refrigerated beef
into England from the United States. Mr.
Brodricks action was taken long before
the New Orleans proceedings. It is quite
absurd to suppose that any idea OF retail
iat4on prompted the order, which was due
to natural desire to help some Of the home
industries. The difference in price is very
trif1ing, and we are making that up by
giving Tommy Atkins frozen mutton two
days instead Of one day weekly. If the
plan is satisfactory supply problem
will be greatly simplified, for we often have
complaints and disagreements over refrig
Grated beef. You must not suppose that
we now use no homegrown beef. Alder
shot and some of our other camps are al
most entirely supplied with home grown
beef. We have hitherto used refrigerated
beef as an addition to our rations, rather
than an integral part. We have no preju-
dice against American firms, and we do
not believe they will miss this trade to any
extent, even if it is decided to continue the
experiment"

Two Russian Students Executed for

ST. Petersburg, April 15.-The hopes

blasted by the first act under the new

count of some act obnoxious to the

how these men could overthrow the

DOWNFALL OF AGUINALDO.
Anti-Imperialists Have Lost the Idol
at Whose Shrine They WOr-
SHIPPED.

1t would be interesting to know the
present sentiments of those who have
worshiped at the shrine of Aguinaldo.
That patriot has gone into liquida-
ton, closed the doors of his patriot
shop, and retired from the patriot
business either permanently or tenn
porarily. 1t is impossible to say just
whatyhe will do next.
1t would be difficult to conceive of
Washington taking the oath of allie
glance to the king of England had
a band of red coats descended upon
and captured him at Valley Forge.
Kosciusllo fell desperately wounded,
but he neither took the oath of allie
glance nor submitted to the will of the
oppressor. He even refused favors
and position, retiring into exile. Carl
baldi, Gomez, Kossuth, and all the
other patriots with whom Aguinaldo
has been compared to his temporary
advantage, held out to ultimate vic
tory or exile. Aguinaldo alone, the
general who never commanded his
forces in even one battle, no sooner
lands in Manila than he holds up his
right hand and swears allegiance to
the country he has been defying by
proclama ton for two years.
Doubtless his worshipers would not
have had him do this, but he has shown
more sense than they. There may
have been some excuse for him at one
time if he really did believe American
rule in the Philippines would follow
along lines laid down through the
centuries by Spanish precedent. He
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1901-04-17

had little personal knowledge of the
American character. His followers
here were better informed. He had
been educated in deceit, schooled
in corruption, believing both to be
the rule the world over. The Ameri-
can worshipers of the Malay hero
knew the people of this country could
never become the oppressors of a
weaker nation, and if any administra-
ton should attempt 10 play that role
there would be a lively session end
ing in new administration. Having
once sold out to Spain at a good figure
he may have been ambitious to re-
peat the experience.
But whatever considerations inffu-
enced him and decided his course in
the beginning he now knows he was
mistaken. He can look around and see
the results of American direction OF
insular affairs during a time of gen
eral disturbance, and he is satisfied.
A CLEAN Of common sense has ilIum-
ined his mental vision. It is not at
all probable he ever hoped to make
as much progress towards substantial
| freedom under his own rule in dec
ade as the authorities now in posses
| sion have made in the short time they
| have controlled the affairs of the
islands. By taking the oath he has
practically acknowledged that he has
changed his opinion.
| At the same time his acceptance
of the existing government after con-
| ferring with those who had been out
of the woods and swamps for some
little time, during which they had be-
| come acquainted with the real state
! of affairs, must cause his wOrshipers
| in this country deep sorrow. They
! have believed in him and slandered
| their own country because of that
| belief He now informs them, in eff
/ feet. that he was in error and that
they, who could have known all of
the facts, were willfully blind. He is
willing to accept the situation as he
finds it now, while the echoes Of their
reasonable ratings have not yet died
away. He has become an American
citizen, voluntarily stepping down
from the pedestal to which he was
elevated aforetime by his sentimental
admirers He will probably engage
| in business of some kind and leave
i them to hunt for some other hero
upon whom they may lavish their
