There were present. besides Secretary

lowed six persons each to select a card
and replace it in the pack, which was
then shuffied and divided into three

sent for by Secretary Shaw himself,
and ne broke tiI3, seal with his own

New Orleans, April 16.-GeneraI Pear
son, the South African burgher. re-
turned from Washington today, in re-
Spouse TO a telegraphed request from
Colonel c. CrOwdcr, who is conducting
the government investigation into the
alleged British army post at Chaimette.
Immediately upon getting here General
Pearson inserted advertisements call
ing upon all Boer sympathizers who
might possess information touching the
conduct of the British camp TO meet
him in the offices Of his lawyers.
General Pearson said he had been
excellently received at Washington,
and that sentiment there had recently
grown very strong for the Beers.
Referring to the assertions made last
night that he had decided the charges
against the British camp were entirely
imaginary, he said that ne had made
absolutely no statements OF his Conclu-
SONS, by inference or otherwise.
Colonel Crowder kept three typewrit
ers busy in his Office today transcrib-
ing the testimony Of witnesses. All
the recent evidence has been largely in
support Of the charges made by Gov
ernor Heard, and some Of it, it is said,
has gone far beyond any allegations
submitted TO Secretary Hay by the gov

deeply Inundated since the, birth of our
own country" A significant portion of
the resolutions was the following:
THAT we. the members Of the Hol-
land society Of Chicago, assembled to
commemorate the birthday of William
the Silent. the great pioneer of civil
and religious freedom, do most heartily
sympathize with the brave and pa
tliotic people Of the Orange Free State
and the South African republics in
their heroic struggle against the empire
of Great Britain to retain their indie
peDdence; that we deprecate the stand
CT the present administration in refus-
ing to permit a resolution of sympathy
such as was passed for struggling
Greece, for Hungary, Mexico and for
the South American republics, to be
considered OF to be passed by either
house Of congress, and thereby express
the true sentiment of the great major
ity of the American people to the brave
nien and women Of the republics of
South Africa; that We regret the policy
OF our government in permitting re-
cruiting camps for the British gov
eminent 10 exist openly within our
territory, in defiance of treaty stipula-

THAT we hope and trust that the
negotiations now understood 10 be
pending may result in an honorable
PEACE, which shall recognize the indie
pendence of those two republics, never
more to be disturbed by a foreign
power"
