Treatment of the Boern.

London, June 2S.-Public apathy in
England respecting the South African
war is illustrated by the indifference
with which Secretary Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman's parallel between the
clearing operations in South Africa by
British troops and those in Cuba by
the Spanish generals is regarded. No
body finds it necessary to point out,
whereas the Cubans were driven out
from their homes into encampments,
where they starved and perished from
pestilence, the Beers have been shell
tered and fed in laagers under the
protection of British garrisons. Lord
Miner says that these Boer refugees
have received medical attendance
when they required it, regular rations
have been served out to them and in
many instances their children have
been sent regularly to school.

CRIPPLE CREEK PREPARED FOR
TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONGRESS

Cripple Creek, Colo. June 2S.-A
mass meeting held in the interest of
the Transmississippi Commercial Con-
gress, which convenes in this city on
July 10th, was held in the opera house
last night. The principal speaker was
United States Senator 4. NJ. Patterson
of Denver. Mr.. Patterson was escort
ed from his hotel to the theater by
Mayor Crane and the members of the
local executive committee of the con-
gress, headed by Schreiber's band. The
edifice was crowded to the doors.
Mayor Crane of Cripple Creek op-
ened the meeting with n few remarks,
and after the band had played a piece
entitled the "Transmississippi March"
introduced Charles n. Miller, chairman
Of the local executive committee of the
congress. Mr.. Miller made n short talk
on the objects of the congress and read
report of the work thus far done by
the committee. He stated that 1t
would take $4,000 to properly enter
tain the delegates and that the COM
mittee was working diligently to raise
that amount and doubtless would be
successful. He prefaced his remarks
by stating that w. S. Stratton, who
had expected to be present and preside
at the meeting, was unable to do so
owing to business engagements. but
that Mr.. Stratton was thoroughly in
terested in the project and would lend
it his support.
Judge Graham spoke briefly on the
objects of the congress and closed with
a tribute to Senator Patterson.

MUCH PRIZE MONEY
AWARDED TO THE NAVY

Washington, June 2S.-Justice Brad
ley, in the equity court, yesterday de-
cided the Manila bay and Santiago
bay prize cases. The decision is in
favor of the claimants as to vessels
captured and as to property taken from
the vessels so captured, but against
them as to property captured ashore.
The decision holds that vessels sunk
and afterward raised were captured,
and not destroyed; that property cap
tured ashore is not subject to prize;
that the property taken from the YES
sells sunk and not claimed as prizes
for which bounty was given, is prize;
that the cascoes, or cargo boats and all
floating derricks that We're captured
at Manila are not prize.
According to counsel the claimants
in the Manila cases received n total of
S2SS, 900, divided among about 1000
people; and the claimants in the San
tiago case will get in the neighbOr-
hood of 100000, distributed among
about 1900 persons. These figures,
however. are not final. These amounts
are in addition to the bounties already
allowed by the Court of Claims.
The bounties are for property de-
stroted, and the prize money for what
the claimants have. The bounty given
to the Manila claimants by the Court
of Claims amounted to S191 900, which
is now being paid off, while the $780,
600 awarded to the Santiago claim
ants will be paid off next autumn.
The decision dispOses of both the Ma
Mia and Santiago claims, the principles
involved being similar
Counsel for the claimants may con-
clude to appeal to the Court of Ap-
peals in an effort to gain the points
on which they lost.
All persons who served with Ad-
miral Dewey who are entitled to share
in the bounty decided by the Court of
Claims should send their addresses to
the auditor for the Navy Department,
to secure prompt adjustment.

JURY ON SECOND TRIAL FIND
JESSIE MORRISON GUILTY

Eldorado. Kan, June 2S.-Jessie
Morrison was found guilty of man
slaughter in the second degree, late
yesterday afternoon, for the murder OF
Mrs. Olin Castle. The penalty is not
more than five years, or less than
three years in the penitentiary. One
of Miss Morrison's lawyers immediate
ly filed n notice of appeal Jessie Nor
rison was taken to her old cell in the
county Jail and locked up. There her
father, who had been with her, left
her.
The jury wrangled nearly thirty
hours over the verdict 1t is said that
one juror held out obstinately for ac-
quittal. At night, while the jury was
celebrating the Eldorado band gave a
concert in the city park, near the court
house, and Olin Castle and Hayward
Morrison, Jessies brother, played in
struments side by side.
Excepting for meals the jury was
not permitted to leave the court house
after it retired at 10 n. IN. The jurors
had not even been to bed. Through
the open windows of the jury room
they could be heard constantly talk
ing. Each hour of delay in the return
of n verdict gave added hope to Miss
Morrison's attorneys.
The defense had not hoped for ac-
quittal, but for n hung jury, and pro-
fessed to believe that the twelve men
would be discharged without having
reached Il verdict. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Rees stated yesterday morning
that he believed n verdict would be
found. The prisoners father, who ap-
peared during the trial to have more
anxiety than even the accused woman
herself, was quite cheerful yesterday
morning. Miss Morrison remained at
her home quietly awaiting the out

A. II. Carlton, president of the First
National Bank of Cripple Creek,
which has subscribed $1,000 TO the en-
tertainment fund, was the next speak
er. His remarks We're brief and 10 the
point. He urged the necessity of the
citizens of the camp doing their duty
in the matter of entertaining the visi-
tors.
Following him, Senator Patterson
was introduced. Mr.. Patterson is
charter member OF the Transmissippi
Congress ond in detail explained its OBJ
jects and the vast good the body is do
ing for the states west of the big river
He said that the meeting of the Or
ganiZation in this city would be Of
benefit to the camp and the state Of
Colorado. and also to the entire West.
He touched on the apathy of the ma
tional government toward the states
west of the Mississippi river and of
the little amount of money which had
been appropriated for use in the West
as compared with the vast sums ex-
pended by Congress for the improve
ment of the eastern states. He be-
neved that the Transmississippi Com
mercial Congress by its efforts would
bring about n different state of affairs
and stated that at the session in this
city resolution would be passed re-
questing the National Congress to Gre
ate the office of secretary of mining,
the same to be Cabinet appointee
He closed with n glowing tribute to
the Cripple Creek district referring to
it as the camp which practically saved
the state during the gloomy days of
the panic.

In the Interstate Park near Taylor's
Falls, Minnesota, mas been discovered
a singular group of giants kettles"
or pot-holes, covering an area of two
or three acres and ranging in diane
ter from less than foot to 25 feet, and
in depth from one foot to S4 feet. They
have been bored in exceedingly hard
rock, and in many cases they are like
wells in shape, the ratio of width to
depth varying from one to five up to
one to seven. Mr.. Warren Upham as
sribes their origin to torrents falling
through glacial "moulins" at the time
when the northern territory of the
United States was buried under ice. AS
with similar pot holes elsewhere,
rounded boulders are occasionally
found at the bottom of the cavities.

The passage of the Ding.ey bill led
to events nearly as extraordinary. This
measure, 1t viii be remembered, was
passed at an extra session called for
that express purpose. Thomas B. Reed
determined that no other business
should be considered. He held the SEN
ate by the throat through a refusal TO
} appoint the committees. Jerry Simp-
son and J. Hamilton Lewis were eter-
nally on the war-path, and oratorical
displays were frequent and pungent.
Anon they were bitterly personal More
than once were the services Of the ser
geant-at- arms required. The burden of
the contest over the Dingley bill fell
on Joseph w. Bailey and Benton Nc
Millin. Bailey was a good match for
his adroit antagonist, and McMillin
fought like Scotch Highlander. Ding
ley lacked the magnetism Of Reed and
Mckinley and his voice wanted
strength and tone, but his logic was
condensed and his facts regimental. 1t
was a display second only to that at
tending the Wilson bill and one that
recalled the palmy days of the measure
championed by Mr.. Mckinley.
Undoubtedly there are surprises in
store in the new House of Represen-
tatives. One was developed on the
very threshold of the last Congress.
II came in the person of Mr.. Dingley's
successor, Charles e. Littlefield. He
sprang into being like Minerva from
the brain of love. It was a revela-
ton to the old members. They gazed
at each other in establishment. If a
dragon-fiy foot wide and twelve feet
long had flown through the chamber
their surprise could not have been
more apparent. Littlefield showed the
courage of his convictions by taking
the unpopular side of a question that
had aroused the entire country. He
espoused the cause of Brigham II.
Roberts, the member from Utah. The
case was apparently prejudged against
Roberts. The Speaker had refused to
swear him in and the clerk failed to
call his name when seats were drawn.
Unusually acrid was the discussion.
Roberts was Stunned by most of the
representatives as though he were a
leper. And yet he appeared duly ac-
credited, the same as his colleagues.
What made the scene more painful
was the presence of his daughter in
the galleries. A young lady of beauty
and refinement: she was placed under
the ban by her own sex, who had
aroused the popular feeling against her
father. While denying even the shad-
ow of sympathy with polygamy, the
new man from Maine took his stand
upon broad constitutional ground. 1t
was the speech of a great lawyer. In
felicity of expression, thoroughness of
detail, incisiveness of argument and
depth of research, it might well have

heaviest artillery were on the other
side and the battle was lost
Even more thrilling and imposing
were the scenes attending the eonsid-
Grafton Of the Wilson bill. The cul-
mination was reached on Feb. /, 1894.
The galleries were packed and the
floor was crowded with distinguished
visitors. There were giants in the
arena. Tom Reed made the longest
speech of his life. He consumed an
hour and a half 1t was his browning
effort in Congress. He had no sooner
taken his seat than Speaker Crisp call
ed William Henry Hatch Of Missouri
TO the chair. descended from the desk,
and took the floor in reply TO Reed.
He was greeted with prolonged ap-
plause from the floor and galleries. The
Georgian was on his metal and sur
passed the expectation of his friends.
AS he retired to the cloak-room he
was overwhelmed with congratula~
tions Amid wild cheers William L.
Wilson arose to close the debate. His
pale face and fran figure were entire
ly free from excitement. Nerves and
mind were under complete control ana
his voice rang out clear and defiant.
Warming 10 his work, the face re-
gained it's color, and the light hair fell
over his forehead. II was a speech
seasoned with pleasantly and replete
with political philosophy. Ornate ana
apparently unstudied, it clothed party
spirit with patriotism, and appealed
to every free trade heart. This is a

sion. This is a roll OF freedom, and

floor before the vote could be taken.
