REFUTED BY BADEN POWELL
Mrs. Kruger and Mrs. Steyn Were
Both Literally Treated BY the
British at Pretoria.

New York, Aug. "A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon.
don says:
The charge has been made that Mrs.
Kruger was subjected to unkind treat.
ment by the British and was prac'
tically held prisoner.
Gen. Baden-Powell now asserts that
Mrs. Kruger, since President Kruger
left South Africa for Europe, up to
the time of her death, was in receipt
of $3.50 a month from the British
government, and that she also had
the free use of a government carriage
and government horses.
The Mafeking hero also states that
Mr.. Steyn, wife of President Steyn
of the late Orange Free State, was
paid 100 month by the government
and likewise had the use of a car.
riage and horses.
This latter statement is said to be
confirmed by a letter from Mrs. Steyn
to a niece in Scotland, in which she
wrote, II never lived so well in my
life"

SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.
Interesting Censu. Figures,

The only southern states the figures
Of whose race populations have been
reported for the census of 1900 are
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ken
lucky and Maryland. Going back to
the census of 1870, the first after the
civil war and after the freeing of the
negroes, it is seen that in all the
states mentioned, with the exception
of Louisiana, there was white ma
jority. In each of those states the
white majority has steadily in
creased; while in Louisiana, which
started OUT with a negro majority,
that has decreased until this state has
acquired u white majority. The fol-
lowing figures are worth noting in
this connections:
