AS the years roll and the memory of

lature to succeed the late Senator Sew

Griggs. Congressman Gardner, ex-
Sheriff David Baird, of Camden, and
Barker Gunmere, of Mercer, were also
in the field, and while they received a
fair amount of support in the early bal

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Gen. Viljoen, Boer Commnndant,
Made Prisoner by British-Brlsk
Fight Mt Frankfort,

London, Jan. 27.-A report sent by
Lord Kitchener in johannesburg tells
of the important capture of Gen. Il.
Viljoen in the neighborhood of Lyden-
burg, Transvaal Colony, as we'll as the
captures of small parties of Beers
elsewhere.
The capture of Niljoen, who was
Gen. Botha's most able lieutenant
and who has given the British deal
of trouble, has created lively salts
faction in London.
Pretoria, Jan. 2S.--Col. Wilson cap
tured 20 Beers near Frankfort, in Or
ange River Colony, last Saturday. He
was preparing at dawn the next day to
move away with his captlves when a
superior force of Beers made u desper-
ate effort to recapture the prisoners.
A hot fight ensued, in which all but
three of the prisoners escaped and in
which few men were killed or wound
ed on both sides.
Pretoria, Jan. 2s.-Gen. Bruce Ham
ilton, by clever night march, sur
prised lager between Ermelo and
Bethel, in the Transvaal Colony, and
charged the Beers, who fled in all d.
rections and were pursued many
miles. AS result of this expedition
50 Beers and quantity of stores
were captured. The casualties were
small.

THE COLOMBIAN WAR.
Several engagements Are Reported
in Which Liberal Forces
Were Successful,

New York, Jan. 2s.-Gen. Modesto
Garces, special delegate in charge of
foreign affairs of the liberal party of
Colombia, said Monday that he had
received cable advices from Curacao,
the headquarters of his party, saying
that the army under Gen. Soto met
and defeated the conservative forces,
led by Gen. Franjaver, and Jesuit
priest, Padre Espana. after bloody
engagement lasting all day, near La
Cruz, IS miles south of Bogota. Gen.
Soto captured a large quantity of arms
and ammunition and several cannon.
Among the killed was Padre Espana.
Another engagement was at Usme,
about 30 miles east of Bogota, in which
the liberals were also successful. Gen.
Garces' advices also state thatanother
liberal army, under Gen. Folosa, COM
bined with forces from Cauca and Toll
ina, has just entered from the south
the department of Anticquia, former
~ stronghold of the conservatives,
and captured the important city of
Salamina, and that 1t is now in the
possession of the liberals. The city
of Romolina. on the Magdalina river,
about % miles south of Barranquilla,
has also been captured by another
branch of the liberal forces.

NOT YET FREE.
Another Disappointing Delay in the
Release of Miss Stone and
Companion.

Washington. Jan. 29.-The state de-
partment Tuesday received dispatch
from the United States representa-
tives in Turkey regarding the case of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mis-
sionary held by brigands, and her COM
panion, Nine. Tsilka. It's contents
were disappointing, the captives not
having been released, as, was hoped
would be the case from the manner in
which the negotiations looking to that
end had been progressing lately. Off,
Gals are averse to discussing the case
freely, but it is understood the hesita-
ton of the brigands in bringing the
matter to prompt conclusion is due
to their distrust of the attitude as
sumed by the Turkish authorities. The
ransom money demanded has not yet
been paid. The state department will
continue to exert every effort to Sc
cure the release of the women, but
immediate prospects are less reassur-
ing

TRADE REVIEW.
mercial Circles Show No
Novel Changes,

New York. Jan. &-E. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Little of
a novel nature has developed in the busi-
ness or financial situation during the past
week. Conditions of the preceding week
were accumulated as rule, active manu-
featuring plants becoming still more busily
engaged. while the downward tendency
of prices was not checked. Retail trade
is of immense volume, and jobbers have
immense spring orders to fill. Western
cities send the most satisfactory returns.
but nearly all sections are enjoying whole
some activity, even the south showing evil
dence of improvement Wages were VOL
unfairly advanced at number of manu-
featuring plants, hours reduced at others.
There were few labor controversies. while
skilled workmen are in greater demand
than supply. Conditions in the iron and
steel industry are shown by record-break-
ing production at many plants and rapid
increase of facilities at others. When or
ders for rails cannot be taken because de-
livery is desired before the last quarter
of the year. it would seem that new fig
ures of output were assured for 1902.
Structural mills are equally well occupied.

Hartman Testiae..

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Before the in
terstate commerce commission Sat-
urday f. H. Hartman, of New York,
the main witness of the day, made
many statements that amazed the
members of the body by which he
was being examined. One of his main
points was that consolidation of the
great railroads of the country would
be the best thing that could possibly
happen, SO far as the general public
and the shippers are concerned. Such
thing, he said, would result in do
ing away with all freight rate dis
elimination. Competition by rail-
roads, he added, reduced rates only
for a short time.

MITCHELL REELECTED.
United Mine Workers Chosen
for Another Term.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 25.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell and Secretary
Treasurer w. B. Wilson were reject
ed to their offices in the United Mine
Workers of America at Fridays ses-
sion of the national convention of
the miners. There was not the Slight
est show of opposition, the delegates
being unanimously in favor of con-
tinuing their leaders in Office, as they
had been the day before in voting to
exonerate both Mitchell and Wilson
when the charges preferred by Miss
Mollie Meredith were at issue. Vice
President I. L. Lewis was also re-
elected, though the Ohioans tried to
defeat him. Lewis comes from Ohio.
The written protest against his cleo
ton was held to be unworthy of
formal recognition.
The convention adopted a resolution
appropriating $500 to the national Nc
Kinley memorial fund after pro-
longed discussion.

A DEADLY CROSSING.
Train Strikes. a Carriage Near
Hammond, Ind.
Three Members of a Funeral Party
Are Killed, and Equal Number
Hurt-One Victim Had Just
Hurled Her Child.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-While returning
home from the Polish Catholic Gene
terry, near Hammond, Ind, where an
hour before she had buried her only
child, a baby boy, Mrs. Martha Rolek,
a beautiful young Polish mother, was
instantly killed by fast mail train
on the Michigan Central railroad Tues
day at one o'clock. Two men who were
riding in the same carriage were IA
tally crushed. One died on the way to
ST. Margaret's hospital in Hammond,
the other in the hospital an hour after
the accident. a third man riding in
the carriage sustained injuries that
probably will result in death. The
undertaken and an assistant, who were
sitting on the drivers seat. saved their
lives by jumping. The latter suffered
internal injuries, but they are not seri-
Gus.
Two carriages of the funeral party
had passed over the two tracks. Short
ly after the engineer had whistled at
the target, some 200 feet from the
crossing. he saw the Inflated carriage
emerge from behind number of cars
that INSTRUCTED the view on the side
whence the vehicle came. The air
brake was applied so strongly and
quickly that the air rod broke and pas
sengers were tossed from their seats
by the sudden stacking of the speed.
The carriage was struck squarely in
the center and was carried along the
track a distance of $50 feet. In the
meantime the three men had been
thrown out of the vehicle, but the
woman was borne along with it and
was dug out of the wreck, dead.
The statement of the engineer that
hesounded the usual danger signal and
did what he could 10 avert the accident
by stopping the train was corrobo-
rated by Martha Ferenc, daughter of
farmer whose home is nearby. Pave
Xix, the driver of the carriage, said the
horses became frightened at sudden
escape of steam from freight engine
nearby, and that he could not control
them. He said he shouted to the &C.
cnpants to jump from the vehicle, but
the warning came too late.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
BAND of American Marines Undergo
Severe Hardships in the
Philippines.

Manila, Jan. 29.-The condition Of
Capt. David D. Porter's marines, who
took part in the expedition into the
interior of Samar, is much worse than
previously described. They suffered
fearful hardships and were without
food for several days. The natives
who accompanied the marines claimed
they were unable to distinguish the
edible roots, which the marines did
not believe. The anger of the ma
rlnes against the natives is intense.
None of the latter returned with the
marines. The marines suffered so
acutely from starvation that they
ate, raw. the flesh of two dogs. When
Capt. Porter and the first three of
his men staggered into camp, they
We're delirious, and difficulty was ex-
perienced in ascertaining the where

iams, of the First infantry. headed
the relief expedition in the face of
torrential rainstorm which flooded
the rivers. He succeeded in reaching
the remaining ten men, who would
otherwise have certainly persisted. He
found them all delirious. Two of the
men were discovered in the branches
of trees. barking like dogs. Some Of
the marines are so ill that they are
not likely to recover. Gen. Chaffee
has endeavored to obtain full details
of the trip of the marines, but Capt.
Porter is not yet able to lucidly ex-
plain matters.
1.-THE expedition into the interior Of Sa-
mar. led by Capt. David d. Porter, of the
marine corps, numbered Sc men, 1t had
been absent two weeks. The marines had
been provided with rations for only five
Gays. On January q Capt. Porter and 26
members of his party reached the coast
OF the island of Samar. The other ten
safety was enterta!ned.l
Manila, Jan. 29.-The criticism of
the senate minority report on the
Philippine tariff bill has been general,
both in public and private here,
though many people admit the state
ments made in the report are correct.
Gen. Wheaton's vigorous criticisms
referred entirely to Prof. Schurman's
speech at Boston, though he holds
the professor in high personal es-
TEEN. The statement that a person
who made such remarks here as those
credited to the professor during his
Boston speech would be sent to Jail,
referred merely to the recent sedi-
ton law.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The war de-
partment is not disposed to take any
action respecting Gen. Wheaton's ut
terances which were quoted in the
senate Monday. This is because the
officials, after studying the Manila dis
patch, in which Gen. Wheaton was
quoted are satisfied that the debate in
the senate proceeded upon an entire
misrepresentation of what Gen. Whea-
ton was reported to have said. 1t is
found that Gen. Wheaton did not criti-
else the United States senate or its
committees, and it is thought at the
department that the misrepresentation
on that score arose from a general
statement in the dispatch atributing
such criticisms to other persons than
Gen. Wheaton.

TENEMENT BURNS.
of Ten Lives-Severnl Hurt
by Jumping.

Boston, Jan. 29.-Ten bodies were
taken out of tenement at the corner
of Hanover and Clark streets, where
fire broke out a one o'clock this morn
ing. The building is three stories, of
brick, with laundry on the ground
floor, the upper parts of the building
being occupied by number of families.
The fire had been smoldering for some
time before it was discovered, and
when the fremen arrived a number of
men and women were hanging from
windows and shouting for help. Some
jumped before the firemen could reach
them, and were injured. Several bodies
were found IN the beds, where the VIC
Tins had been s':ffocated by the smoke
as they slept. OF the injured six are
seriously hurt, three of these fatally.
The victims of the fire are Italians.

eminent has given notice that before
it ratifies the treaty it will submit
the question of cession to the people
of the islands. Not much objection
is expected here from these people,
as the treaty is so framed that they
are not called on to surrender their
Danish allegiance, and they may re-
main Danes in fact and in name
while enjoying whatever advantages
in commercial way may result from
a transfer of the islands to the Unit
ed States. The plebiscite will not be
controlled in any sense by the Unit
ed States. 1t is stated distinctly
that the Danish government itself
will take steps to ascertain the incli-
nations of the people of the islands
before the final steps in the transfer
are taken.
The islands are considered of great
strategic Importance. The initial eff
forts to secure them were begun by
the United States during President
Grants administration.
st. Thomas, the largest of the is
lands, is formed by chain of high
hills running east and west. 1t is 10
miles long, measures three miles at
its greatest width, and contains an
area of II square miles. The sea
surrounding this island is filled with
small islets, called keys, which be-
long to it. About two miles to the
northeast lies the Island of st. John,
and some 40 miles to the south is the
third island, st. Croix, or as it is per-
haps more generally known, Santa
Cruz. The port of St. Thomas is a
good one, and it is stated that 200
vessels can anchor there with safety.

TREATY FOR PURCHASE OF
DANISH ISLES SIGNED.
Agreement Will Submitted Ratification
Question Of Cession Will Submitted to People
of the Islands,

Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty Of
cession of the Danish West Indies Is
lands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at the state de-
partment Friday by Secretary Hay and
Constantine Brun, the Danish minis
ter. The treaty will be submitted to
the senate for ratification immedi-
ate,y.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases, the state department officials de-
cline to make public any of the details
of the treaty, SO that it is not possible
to state positively the price to be paid,
though this is believed to be in the
neighborhood of SIS 600 900. 1t is known
also that Denmark has abandoned the
position she was inclined to occupy to-
ward the conservation of the political
rights of the inhabitants of the is
lands, and leaves the United States a
free hand to deal with them, without
pledge of American citizenship or of
free trade privileges. So it is assumed
that the status of the Danish West In
dian islands. politically and CONNER
cially, should the treaty be ratified,
will be similar to that of Porto Rico.
Having gained these points in the ne
gotiations, the state department Off
cials believe that the treaty is certain
to receive the approval of the United
States senate.
It is regarded as strong point by
the trainers of the treaty that the
people of the Danish West Indian
islands are to have voice in this
question of cession. The treaty
itself does not contain any reference
to a plebiscite, but the Danish gov
