Young and Smith Acquitted.

! After a hearing Of eleven days
before Judge L. S. Woods in the
Circuit Court at Henderson, |. w.
Young and David Smith, charged
with the murder of Aleck Larue,
have been acquitted. About three
years ago Larue shot and killed
John Young, a brother of |. w.
Young and a brother-in-law of Dave
Smith. He was captured after a
few weeks and landed in the Chester
county jail at Henderson. On the
night of April 18, 1899, a mob ap-
peared at the jail and attempted to
carry Larue away to lynch him, but
he fought back so effectively that
they gave up and a member shot
him, leaving him for dead. Larue
died in q few hours, but lived long
enough to accuse Dave Smith and
I. w, Young of his murder. They
were tried at Henderson, but the
trial resulted in a hung jury, four
being for a verdict of guilty and
eight for acquittal. He was tried
during the past two weeks, and after
eleven days the jury returned YER
dict of not guilty. Some of the
most able lawyers in West Tennes-
see took part in the case, which has
attracted widespread interest.

While the Schalk- Burger Party
is on It's Mission.

Wolve Hoecj, Orange River Colony,
March 25.-The train having on board
Acting President Schalk-Burger and his
party passed this place on its way to
Kroonstad Sunday. The Transvaal gov
ernment officials were accompanied by
Capt. Marker, Lord Kitchener's aide de
staff of the British chief
in South Africa. The impression here is
that the Transvaallers favor general
surrender of the Boer forces.
AN ARMISTICE REPORTED.
London, March 25.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle this morning asserts that an arnis-
tice has been arranged pending the dur
alton of Schalk-Burger's S mission to Gen.
against ~DeWet, Delarey and Botha will
be suspended. The three generals have
agreed to observe the armstice honora-

1t is believed continues the Daily
Chronicle that the envoys. after ac-
quainting Botha with the result of their
mission, will again confer with Lord
Kitchener although no arrangement for
the second conference has actually been
made
Amsterdam, March 25.-It is is believ-
ed in Boer circles here that the move
ment of Acting President Schalk-Bur-
ger is the result of a communication
from the Boer representatives in Eur
ope. A former member of the Trans
vaal government said last night:
After the exchange of the Dutch
English notes a conference was called
for February. This conference was at
tended by Mr.. Kruger, DIR. LeydS an1
the delegates and it was decided to
send six emissaries to South Africa by
different routes with dispatches for
Stein and Schalk-Burger, giving them Il
detailed account of the situation One
of these agents ought to have arrived
about this time. Documents lately re-
ceiyed from Schalk-Burger indicated
that peace terms had been recently is
sued by the leaders in South Africa, but
the leaders declared they could not ac-
cept anything less than the terms de-
manded at Middleburg, by General
Botha, February 2S, 1901. and especial
ly the point of complete amnesty for
Cape rebels, because the greater part
of the commandos actually in arms are
composed of Cape insurgents.
THE fact that the Beers in the field
are inclined to compromise their de-
mands for absolute independence" con-
tinued the speaker, seems to be indi
Gated by the plan Schalk-B Burger has
outlined for the government of induStri-
al centers. This consists of a British
board of administration with proper
tional Boer representation"
HOPE CHANGED TO CONFIDENCE.
Amsterdam, March 25. Abraham
Fischer, the Boer delegate, in an in
terview today gives variety of reasons
why the Beers in the field should be in
accept terms less advantageous than
those previously demanded. The latest
report from President Steyn, received
under date of February Is says:
Last year we fought hopefully; now
we are confident, and will fight, not to
the bitter end, but to a happy end"
The Boer forces have plenty of every
thing except clothing.
