PRESIDENT MAY AID
B0ER IMMIGRANTS
Lack $50 Necessary to
Enter U. 6.

Washington, July 17.-It is expected
that the president will personally in
tervene in behalf of the officers of the
Boer army, now detained at Ellis Is
land by the immigration officials be-
cause in the eyes of the law they arc
paupers. The possession of $50 in
money of any realm under the sun
would entitle the Beers to land until
it should seem probable that they
would not become apublic charge with
in six months after their admission.
The Beers at the immigrant station
were prisoners of war in Barbados
and were released when peace was con-
cluded. In the peace terms 1t was stip-
ulated that the British government
should return them to their homes in
South Africa and, according to the
statements made by the members of
the British government, it is the in
tention to faithfully execute that, as
well as every part of the agreement.
But the British officials have not
vet been able to provide transporta-
ton for all the prisoners. Those now
at Ellis Island got impatient and start
ed for the United States on their own
motion, only to find that those who
nave suffered LOT tHe sake OF ilDerty
are not welcomed to the land Of tho
free and the home of the brave un-
less they have got $50 in their pockets.
1t is within the discretion Of the
president, it is believed, to waive that
provision Of the law. hence the ex-
pectation that he will do it. The
Beers are now British subjects, but
the British ambassy here is not in the
least interested in the stranded pat
riots.

BY Maho ming Candidate
and Retainers.
Mr.. KENNEDY CALLS
Upon Messrs. Grant. Smith
and Otbers--Asks Support
Of Stark Deiegatlons a.
Second Choice.

There was meeting Of the clans in
Canton Tuesday when James Kennedy,
the congressional aspirant from
Youngstown, entered Canton and held
srndry conferences with the political
lights in this city. Kennedy was ac-
companfed by his cousin, Judge James
b. Kennedy, and Harry Robinson, the
latter the law partner of Judge George
ARIEL, of Youngstown, who will present
Kennedy's name at the Salem conven-
tion.
Visits were paid to T. Harvey Smith
and James ]. Grant, the two Stark
county candidates, Julius Whiting, Jr.,
Judge Isaac Fl. Taylor and other poll
ticians of Canton. All the people who
are visited by the Mahoning county
candidate state that politics was not
entered into in the conversation, but
that it lay very near the surface.
The three Youngstown visitors reach
ed Canton during the morning. They
visited julius Whiting at his Office and
the state committeeman piloted them
about the court house and the various
offices in the afternoon.
Kennedy is making an attempt to Sc
cure the support of the Stark candidates
as a second choice in the convention.
There were whispers of deal between
him and Smith during the visit yester-
day but this is emphatically denied by
Smith.
During the visit of the Youngstown
politicians in the treasurer's office Tues
day afternoon. Judge Kennedy asked
Smith if he would support Mahoning's
candidate in preference to the Colum-
bana man as second choice after
Stark county.
Smith stated after the conference
that he would refuse to make any
promises. "The nomination will come
to Stark county" he said confidently.
Does that mean a deal between
yourself and Kennedy for a Stark
county dark house?" he was asked.
No, this is not a race in which a
dark horse will enter" stated, the Mas
sillon candidate.
This visit was adjourned to the Office
of James j. Grant Mr. Grant as
sured Mr., Kennedy it is stated, that
his delegation will be secure and that
there was no possibility of having
them go over to Smith.
Smith and Kennedy combined could
60 into the Salem convention with
1873 delegates, according to pres ent
count, and IL Grants delegation could
be broken up to the extent of ten
votes nomination could be secured.
All the candidates are vociferous in
denying any deal for the nomination,
hut rumor has Smith and Kennedy in
for some sort of a combination.
The Youngstown trio left Canton in
the evening and went to Massillon.
where an informal reception was held
in the Conrad hotel. On Wednesday
morning the delegation repaired to AL
lance and remained in that city for
some hours.

mittee In Sandusky county, headed by

tails of which were left in the

ed by Chairman Dick in a few days.

Tho congressional situation is one
of increasing interest. There are ru-
mors of all kinds of combinations, but
the fact of the matter is that if there
are any such plans maturing, they are
not beirg given out to the public.
Apparently the most confident man in
the race is Kennedy, of Mahonins
county. He has his solid delegation
and equity claim that is expected 10

county delegates are denying all ru-

that recently, when the chief nurse OF
small base hospital in Southern Luz
zon was sent away there was great
struggle among the five nurses remain
Ing for the vacant position, which
meant distinct increase in pay. Each
one of the five came to the office of the
surgeon in charge, to show cause why
she should be appointed chief nurse
and why none of the others was en-
titled to that distinction The young
Solomon in charge was up against it;
but gave the following decision: Each

The Spanish journals relate the per-

ences of young Spanish woman
named Isabel Caporal, who in six years
has lost by death six husbands, and
now awaits in modest patience her
wedding day with seventh. In 1894
Senorita Isabel, then a young girl of
81, emigrated to New Orleans and soon
married a theatrical manager named
Free man, who died in few months
FROM yellow fever during a starring
tour. In order the better to conduct
the company the widow, after a few
weeks, married one Of the actors,
Spaniard named ttany, who was fatally
stabbed on their wedding night while
tryAlg to mediate in a brawl in the
boarding house. Three weeks later an
othAr of the actors led her blushing to
the altar. He was a Mexican named
Lopez with whom the offended laws of
his country had a crow to pick Ar

from a train, was killed, and for the
third time in twelve months poor Isa-

strongest feelings of humanity and
willing though they may be to exert
themselves, they may, nevertheless,
make a failure where before they
scored a success. The great thing is
to understand the people, and as Off
Gals are constantly being moved about
in the way of promotion they are apt
to make use of experience previously
gained when they really ought to be
commencing again almost at the bot
tom. This no doubt largely explains
the failures brought to light in the
famine administration a year ago; ter
ribly hard conditions were imposed
where the people were unable to bear
them, and far too easy ones where they
were much more favorably situated.
This at once raised the question
whether it is not possibly to govern
so vast country more largely by it's
own inhabitants in accordance with it's
own wants and traditions. That does
not mean establishing representative
institutions and placing the mere ma
chinery of government in the hands of
the natives; it is quite possible, indeed
that the latter has been done to far
too great an extent already The low
er branches of the civil service have
been thrown open and the ambition of
the native seems to be to obtain
government situation, where he is soon
drilled into all the red tape of the off,
cial class. In this way thousands of
them came to be employed in famine
administration and were much more
reluctant to break through the stipu-
lated regulations than the Englishman

risk of being cashiered, whereas an
