 New York, Mar. 1S.--A good deal of needless agitation has been caused in the war office by Lord Wolseley's sud den descent upon South Africa, says the London correspondent of the Fri bune. The real explanation of his Journey is that Lord Nolseley, when feeling jaded, met Sir Donald Currie and learned that lie would be sailing to South Africa within forty eight hours. Lord Wolseley exclaimed:
 You ought to take me with you"
 Come on," was the reply, and Lord Wolseley went at the shortest possible notice. It is not unlikely that he will see Lord Kitchener and obtain some side lights on the mysteries of the campaign.

ALLEGED THIEVES CAUGHT.
Mystery of Thefts from Railroad i'll :
 Fair Way of Solution.

Fair Way of Solution.
 New Haven. March 1S-At the in- stigation of the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road company, police Have been for several days at work trying to locate the thieves that have broken open cars and taken from them consignments of a variety of goods of one or more pieces Suspicion fell upon the train crew of the Northampton division, as the thefts occurred pretty much in consignments over that division. Late yesterday and early last evening De tectives Daley, NIcGrath, Donnelly Smith, Ward, Dunlap and Captain Cowles visited the homes of four of the crew and arrested them, and gathered up a considerable amount of goods of various sorts which the detectives say they are confident will prove to be stolen property. Some of it they say has already been identified by records Of the shipping department of the railroad company.
 Later in the day Emerson Haight Of Simsbury, a telegraph operator, was arrested here, after he had come in response to a telegram of his super 1OIS. Iue QclecllfeS say IuuL f1dlSuL is probably an accomplce of the train crew. The four men of the crew ar rested are Conductor Charles Wether- bee, Brakemen W. l.. Danforth, Car penter and Arthur Emerson The goods which the police have in charge are rifles, shot guns, revolvers, rolls of cloth, fishing apparatus, brass pat terms, rubber goods, yalises, carpen- ters' tools and masons' tools, q quan- tity of liquors. some clothing, and 8 miscellaneous assortment of odds and ends. According to Captain Cowies the railroad officials think the thefts have been going on for nearly two years The five men were held last night on the charge of theft Their bail was fixed at S1,O00. The case will probably be better worked out in the course of 24 hours and if circum- stances warrant, a grayer charge will be entered. The detectives claim they know where some of the articles stolen have been sold.

sympathy with the enemy. Relief
funds raised in this country had in fact
been distributed through our consuls.
':But why should not the Secretary Of
State use his good offices to relieve the
distress Of the Boer women and children
confined in concentration camps?" asked
sir. Burleson.
Mr.. Hit replied that according to Mr..
Knights letter the Secretary had offered
to help Rev. DR.. Thomas in every way
in his power, but he manifestly could not
do a ridiculous thing. The rules Of inter-
national law upon the question were well
established. The Secretary of State could
not make a demand which on it's face is
contrary to all presidents.
Mr. Brantley, of Georgia, discussed the
question Of Cuban reciprocity. He con-
tended that whatever was to be done
should be done speedily. HE favored reci-
procity. He argued that the South would
benefit greatly from the commerce of Cu-
ba if freer trade existed. Mr.. Brantley
spoke for over an hour.
Mr. Meyer, of Louisiana, sy1id the ques-
ton of reciprocity concerned the wheat
grower of the upper Mississippi Valley;
the manufacturer of New England, Penn
sylvania and Ohio; the stock farmer Of
Kentucky and all our varied industries.
There is, he said, no considerable num-
Der of American people who desire tariff
agitation and controversy The farmers
and planters dread any unfriendly leSis-
lation by treaty. Congress or otherwise.
They care nothing about the success of
the Cuban boom if they are to pay the
piper.
Ia the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-For several
hours to-day the Senate had the ship
stt sdy bill under consideration. Mr..
Mallory, of Florida, made an extended
speech in opposition to the measure. He
analysed the bill carefully and held that
there was no good reason for Its enact
rnent into law, saying he believed it
would. not accomplish the results hoped
fer it by it's promoters. His opposition
was based chiefly on the ground that it
would extend the favor of the United
States Treasury to private individuals
and corporations without a just return
fer the expenditure.
Frior to consideration of the subsidy
measure a lively debate occurred over
IN effort on the part of Mr.. Berry, OF
Al Kansas, to ascertain when the Com
nittee on Privileges and Elections might
be expected to report to the Senate the
resolution providing for the election Of
Senators by direct vote of the people
Nj. sHoar, of Massachusetts,. indicated
SEis vigorous opposition to such a resolu-
ton on the ground that it perverts the
fundamental principle upon which the
Senate was founded.
Mr. Burrows, chairman Of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, said The
committee would take action on the reso-
luton In time to get a vote on it as this
session. A number. of Senators discussed
