RICHARDSON MURDER CASE.
The Trial of stewart Fife Begun at Savannah, Mo.-Defense will
 Fry to Prove Aiibi.

Kansas City. Mo, March n.-A spe cial to the Star from Savannah, Mo-, says:
 Stewart Flies trial for the murder of Frank w. Richardson, his former associate in business here, began Monday. Fife has lost much of the ,almness that he displayed when he arrived from North Yaltimo, Wash, where he was arrested two months ago. He sleeps but little and when he entered the court room to-day he looked worried. Several stories of new and startling developments that are to come out at the trial have been circulated, one of them being to the effect that Flies lawyers will duplicate another man in the mur- der.
 Mrs. Richardson. widow of the dead man, who was acquitted re- gently of eomplieity in the murder, will appear as witness for the de- fense, while her two young sons will be used as witnesses for the state Flies attorneys will, it is said, try to prove an alibi for him.

LORD KITCaENER.s REPORT.
He is Again Compelled to send Re-
 Grets for Heavy Losses.

London, March 1.-The text of Lord kitchener,s dispatch announe- ing the capture of Gen. Methuen is as follows:
 Pretoria. Saturday, March s.-I greatly regret to have to send you bad news of Methuen. He was mov- ing with 900 mounted men. under Maj Paris and 300 infantry, four guns and a pompon. from WXnburg to Lichtenbur@, and was to meet Gren- fell with l,30o mounted men, at Rovirainesfontein to-day.
 ''YesterdaY morning early he was attacked by Delarey's force. between Twe-BoSch and Paimieteknill. The Boers charged on three sides
 Five hundred and fifty men have come in at Maribogs and Kraaipan. They were pursued by the Boers four miles from the scene of action They report that Methuen and Paris. with the guns. baggage, etc. were captured by the Boers. Methuen, when last seen, was a prisoner. l have 10 details of the casualties, and suggest this sudden revival of activi- ty of Gen. Delarey is to draw off troops pressing De Net"
 In second dispatch dated sunday, March 9, Lord Kitchener says:
 Paris has come in at Kraapan, with the remainder of the men. He reports that the column was moving n -s+J, wagons, left I've Bosch at q. Tn. The other, with the mule wagons, started an hour later. Just before dawn the Boers attacked. Before re Inducements could reach them the rear guard broke. In the meantime large number of Boers galloped up on both Hanks. These. at first. were checked by the flank parties, but the panic and stampede of the mules had begun and all the mule wagons. with terrible mixture of mounted men, rushed past the ON wagons. All eff forts to check them were unavailable. Maj. Paris collected 10 men. and oc- cupied a position mile in front of the OK wagons, which were then halt ed. After gallant but useless de fense. the enemy rushed in to the OK wagons, and Methuen was wounded in the thigh. Paris. being surround ed. surrendered at 10 a. m. Methuen is still in the Boer camp"
 Then follows the numbers of the casualties, as already eablcd. The killed include Lieutenants q. F. Ven ming and r. r. W. Nesham. of the royal artillery. who were both killed while serving their guns with ease shot.
 As Lord Kitchener announced that Maj. Paris had surrendered and also telegraphed that he had reached kraaipan with the remainder of the men, it may be inferred that the Boers subsequently released the ma ior and his companions.

TIE DEMAND FOR POTATOES.
Deoiers are Paying q Bonus of Ten Dollars q Car tc Get the Tu-
 bers N here Most Needed.

Chicago, March 11.-So great is the demand for shipping facilities that the potato dealers are paying the railroad companies a bonus of $10 a ear, says the Tribune The dealers have had trouble all season in get ting ears placed when and where they want them, and just now they are particularly desirous of quick ac- ton. The price for seed potatoes is advancing rapidly, and the dealers want to take advantage of the mar ltet before farmers raise the price still further.
 Less than three weeks ago potato seed stock was selling at s cents at loading stations. Now the holders are asking $l.25. The demand is from southern sections. While they raise good table potatoes in the south. they are compelled to come north each season for seed stock

NO DEMAND UPON TURKEY.
The only Action Taken by Minister Leishmnn is to Conservcs the
 Flights of the UniIed states.

Washington. May lit is again specifically stated here that no de mand has been made upon Turkey in connection with Miss Stone'e ease. The action taken by Minister Leishman, as reported from Gonstantinople. was simply to conserve any rights which might be developed hereafter and his note to the Turkish government amounted to nothing more than q statement that the United States gov ernment intended to make a fhor= ough investigation of the incidents connected with the kidnaBine. and at the conclusion of that inyestiga- ton would look for redress to the party uPon whom responsibility was fixed. Ii may be added that the whole trend af evidence so far k very strongly against the BuIsarians. ard no1 against the Turks.

Republican Executive Com mittee.

The republican state executive com. mjttee met at Little Rock on the 9th inst, and made recommendation for the appointment of the following par ties to the offices named: United States marshal of the eastern district, Col. A. S. Fowler, to succeed Hon, Henry NJ. Cooper: collector of inter nal revenue. Capt F. w. Tucker, of Glover Bend, to succeed Hon. H. L. Remmel; John E. Bush. to be receiver of the land office at Little Rock. The following recommendations for post masterships were also made: At Fay etteville, B. F. Campbell; Rogers, w R. Cady; Bentonville, E. O. Lefore Resolutions were adopted condemning the course of the faction known as in surgents, who preferred charges at Washington against a number of office holders. and who. it is said. are respon. sible for the coming retirement from office of one or two leading members of the party. The strength of the in surgents in committee was not strong enough to mar the plan mapped out by the regulars. but the former threaten to carry the fight into the rank and file of the party in general campaign. Col. Foreman, of Texarkana, resigned from the committee, and is succeeded by J. W. Harris. It is the general be- lief that President Roosevelt will re. eognize the committee by appointing those recommended to fiji federal of fees in this state.

Letter to County Examiners.

State Superintendent Doyne ad- dresses the following letter to the county examiners of the various coun- ties
 As you are aware, the Peabody fund for normal and institute purposes, amounting to about 5000 annually, has been withdrawn from our state, owing to the failure of our legislature to make any appropriation for these purposes. You will note from section 7o22 and section 7013. as amended, that examiners are required to hold at least one institute annually. Last year many examiners were enabled, through the cooperation of the teachers, to pre- vide for institutes. which the exam iners themselves conducted. In some instances an instructor was employed, each teacher paying the small amount to defray the expense of this. trust that arrangements will be made by you at an eariy date for an institute in your county at such time as may seem to you most convenient shall be glad indeed to hear from you as early as convenient as to time and place se- leeted .
