ment as to Courtmartial
 London, April 4-The War Office offi- cials have issued a statement regarding the Australians sentenced for murdering prisoners captured in July and August in the widest part of the Transvaal. eighty miles northeast of Petersburg As a result of the inquiry into the matter. five officers were tried by courtmartial at Petersburg in January, 1902. and were found guilty as being accessories in twelve murders.
 Lieutenants Hancock and Morant were sentenced to death, which was carried out. They were also charged with mur- dering Rev. c. Hesse. but the evidence was not considered sufficient to justify their conviction.
 Lieutenant Wilton was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death. but there were mitigating circumstances and the sentence was commuted to life im- prisonment at penal servitude.
 Lieutenant Picton was found guilty of manslaughter and was cashiered.
 Major Lenaham, compnanding thu Rush. welt carbineers. who became aware of the crimes subsequent to their committal. was convicted of culpably negiecting to report them and was ordered home to Australia. his dismissal being unneces- sary owing to the disbandment of the corps.

HUMOROUS PRIZE FIGHT.
Little Joe Walcott Furnishes Big
 Fred Russell.

Chicago. April 4-Joe Walcott, the well ter-weioht champion. and Fred Russell of Minnesota. went six rounds to draw here tonight. Russell, who Is a heavy weight and a big one at that, was un. able to do anything with Walcott ana it certainly appeared that the latter was entitled to the verdict. having forced the fighting throughout.
 When the men shaped up for action there was such disparity in their sizes that the affair looked ridiculous, Wal cotts head just about reaching Hussei waist line Then men had fought but 8 minute however. when 1t was plainly evident that the little negro was perfectly able to cope with his big opponent ana rather enjoyed holding up Russefs lzo- pounds when they clinched. Before the round ended Walcott dropped Russell with a right on the jaw. In order to land the blow Waicott had to jump on his feet fully six inches. Russell took count of nine and rose to his feet groggy Walcott worked like a beayec to finish the light but the bell gave Russell a much-needed rest and he was in fair shape at the commencement of the next round He appeared timid during the next four rounds and kept well covered, but managed to land several hard swings on Walcotts head.
 WaIcott paid little attention to Rus sells efforts and kept slamming away TOT the latter's ribs with both hands: In the last round Walcott reached Russeii stomach with a number of hard swings and the big fellow became so weak that, although weighing nearly hundred pounds less.

SOCIAL LEGISLATION.

Philadelphia, April 1.-The sixth annual meeting of the American Academy of PO- Utical and Social Science began here to- day. and will end tomorrow. The general topic for discussion is social legislation and social activity The principal meet ing was held tonight when the annual address was delivered by Hon. Martin A. Knapp. chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission. who took for his sub ject Equality of Opportunity in the use of Transportation Facilities.~
 Prof l.. s. Rowe, President of the Academy, reviewed the work of the or- ganization for the year. The subject at the afternoon session was The Child La bor Problem" Addresses were made by F. M. Brewer of this city. on Child La bor in the Department Store:'' Henry White, General Secretary United Gar ment Workers of America New York. on Machinery and Labor" and Hayes Robbins. Dean of the Institute of Social Economies, New York. on The New Souths Rare Opportunity"
 Mir Robbins said:
 1t is fortunate for social progress that he point of view of modern economic thought has drifted so far away from the old-school doctrine of non-interfer- ence that We can take hold of problem like child labor to some practical purpose, without becoming intellectually 1isrepu- table; because It is opposition. The progress of such legislation nevertheless has been extraordinary. the limit allowed for child labor ranging now from to l5 years throughout the arger part of Europe.
 In the United States there are limita- lions on child labor in thirtY-four States and all the territories. To select the greatest manufacturing States as show ing most clearly the possibility of pros perity without child labor. the limit is fourteen years in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Illinois and Indiana.

SENATOR HANNA SPEAKS.
Says the Future of the South is
 Roseate.

Charlottesville. Va, April 3.-Commis- sioner Hermann of the General Land Off, flee at Washington opened proceedings of the Good Roads Convention today with A speech in which he said that greater improvement had been made in all other modes of travel than by vehicles over the public highway and he urged ener- getic prosecution of the good roads movement
 A telegram of regret was read from Admiral Schley.
 Senator Hanna was introduced by Gen
 eral Fitzhugh Lee as good fellow.
 whose grandfather had been born in Vir-
 ginia not fifty miles from Charlottes-
 yiIle The Senator was loudly applaud
 ed. He said the road question was practical one and the question Of trans portation in this great country of ours
 is n serious one. The surplus products
 must lnd d market. No where had there
 becn greater development industrially
 than at the South. and he would speak on
 Southern development rather than on the
 road question. The South was richer in
 minerals than any other part of the coun-
 try east of the Rocky Mountains and
 Tennessee and Alabama. in his judge ment, some time would be the great steel center of the United States. The interest
 shown in good roads was gratifying to
 him as it showed the people of the South are awake to their own interests. lie
 favored improvement of the waterways
 of the South also.
 Other speakers were Representatives Davis of Florida, Lttlefield of Maine and Tongue of Oregon. The convention came to and end this afternoon.

THE MASSACRE ORDER.
An Interesting Document is Sent tc
 the Senate.

Washington. April { IA little over veal ago the Senate adopted resolution call ing on the Secretary of War for informa- ton tending to show the authenticity am am genuineness of the alleged order Tor the massacre of the foreign residents of Ma niIa on the evening and night of Febru' ary l5. 1899.
 The Secretary of War has just made re- sponse Ia this resolution, all or the. tm' since the adoption of the resolution be ing required to complete the search l1r the necessary papers here and i'll the is- lands. The Secretary transmits a photo graDhic reproduction of the alleged mas sacre order. bearing date of February l 1899. and with this photograph are number of papers intended to demonstrate that it is an absolute copy of an original that actually existed and was issued by the late General Luna. Contirmatory evl- dence on this point, it is stated, is state ment by Aguinaldo affirming the F@nnlne- ness of Luna's signature to the order.
 The Secretary's report states that Luna was at that time Director or Assistant Secretary of War of the Malalos govern ment and commanding general Of the Philippine army operating in the northern boundaries of the city of Manila.

 Nobody is urging any step tna'
 threatens to destroy Southern mill pronts' but it must be insistetE that scientinc im-
 provements of industrial methods IS the onIy safe and sure way to secure profits. not the use of child labor. Neither need legislation be urged on the ground that Southern manufacturers are tnd1nerent and inhumane but simply because It is the most uniform and least costly method the South could of It's own accord aoopt. Applying to all manufacturers 1t would be no competitive handicap upon any or
 them The manufacturers do not see that these operatives when brought ooWn from the mountains into the industrial centers become social and political factors
 in an altogether new sense, and. if allow
 ed to degenerate without educational or other opportunities, they will become
 social and civic menace to the community. For this reason the problem is not one of the South only, but has nationai significance. In a democracy, no con dition is safe which offers a competitive
 advantage ot anything that leads toward ignorant inferior citizenship. In the
 South, that citizenship is now in the
 making, and now is the time or times to safeguard its development.
 Papers prepared by Dr. Edgar Gardner Murphy of Montgomery, on child labor' with special reference to industrial con- ditions in the South. and Mrs. Florence Kelley, General Secretary National Con sumers' League. New York. on legislation and public sentiment in their relation to
 child labor problem. were read during

NOTICE OF A CONTEST.
Warm Fight Will Be Waged Over
 Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington, April 1.-The Post tomor- row will say: Senator Platt of Connec- ticut the chairman of the Senate Com mittec on Cuba, yesterday received two notifications. One from the Democratic side was to the effect that the minority proposed to fight reciprocity at every stage. and had formed compact organi- zation for that purpose.
 The other came from prominent Re publican who stated that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to the bill declaring that reciprocity should be contingent upon the agreement by tho Cuban Government to d treaty with the United States embodying the text of the Platt amendment. the Senator putting his statement on the ground that he fear ed the Cubans. after they had formed a government, would attempt to nullify the Platt amendment. Both notifications were the beginning of the fight that is to be made in the Senate against the en- actment of the measure. Senator Platt suggested that if reciprocity was not to be enjoyed by Cuba until a treaty had been signed and ratified it would post pone until next winter the promised relief for the island
