that Mr. Kruger and DR.. Leyds have in
their possession $2,500,00O.
General Botha requested them to turn
over this gold for the beneht Of the Boe-
people, but DR.. Leyds refused, averring that
the money was to be used in upholdlng
the Boer nationality ia the future.
General Botha has notified DR.. Leyds
that unless the gold is given up legal

Session.
cFrom a stan correspondentl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30--(Special Tele-
gram.) )-Senator Warren OF Wyoming ar
rived tonight and is at the New willard.
The senator believes that congress should
not attempt a revision of the tarif at this
time. II am not in favor at this time OF
any attempt to revise the existing tariff
schedule and do not believe that any legis-
lation along that line can be successful
at this ession l believe however, we
should pass some legislation during the
coming session to put curb on trusts. In
the matter OF dealing with trusts congress
will be largely guided by such recommenda-
tions as President Roosevelt may make in
his message"
Senator Warren dsclaimed having any
knowledge of any illegal fencing of the
public lands in Wyoming by cattlemen.
"Of course there are vast cattle ranges in
my state but that the cattlemen are lille
gally occupying public domain has not been
called to my attention. and as to alleged
fraudulent entries by widows or others l
know nothing of it,"
NJ. p. Keefe of Cheyenne arrived in
Washington today. Mr.. Keefe is mayor of
Cheyenne and comes to Washington to
confer with Secretary Root regarding his
contract for the erection Of barracks at

War department and city Of Cheyenne are
in controversy as to the water supply for
the proposed new quarters. Mr.. Keefe will
call upon Secretary Root and General Lud-
ington tomorrow and the various points in
controversy will be discussed The War
department desires to erect two additional
barracks at Fort Russell. contingent upon
certain concessions of the c1y of Chey-
enne as to the water supply.
Congressman Lot Thomas of Iowa, ac-
companied by his wife and daughter, is at
the Riggs house having arrived late Sat
urday night The Storm Lake congressman
says that while there is some agitation in
Iowa over the question of tariff revision,
he does not believe the people will seri-
ously object II the tarif is allowed to
stand as at present. A majority OF the
people of Iowa, he believes are in favor OF
modification of the steel and iron sched-
ules and also are in favor of free lumber
but beyond this he doubts whether the citi-
zens of the Hawkeye commonwealth would
be in favor of tinkering with the tariff
under present prosperous conditions.

GREENvILLE, ILL.,, Nov So.-At Poca-
hontas today Albert Ethridge, aged IS,

SAY LOW WATER WAS CAUSE
Experts who Examine Chicago Ex-
pIosiOn Put blame on Dead
Man.

CHICAGO, Nov. aO.-An investigation
into the explosion of Swift and Company's
boiler plant yesterday was begun today by
mechanical experts, representing the city
and private interests Although those con-
Quoting the investigation were reticent II
is said that Owens was responsible for the
catastrophe.
The great force OF the explosion led to
the conclusion that the water had been
allowed to get low in the boilers and that
when an effort was made to supply the de-
fciency the explosion followed.
Acting on Che policy that he did not care
to commit himself until sure of his
ground, the city boiler inspector refused
to give a specific cause for the explosion.
After certain tests as to strength OF the
metal of the wrecked plant are completed
Mr.. Blaney says he will make his oficial
report.
The coroner has also begun an investiga-
tion, although the inquest proper will not
be heard until December 10.

SENATE TO TALK NEW STATES
Trusts, Tarin and Reciprocity Will
Also He Taken Up During
Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S0-The admission
Of the territories OF Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Arizona as states OF the union will
probably be the subject OF most Importance
to receive attention by the senate at the
coming session.
After the omnibus territorial bill passed
the house last season It's friends in the
senate we're so insistent on action and so
strong in point of numbers that in the
interest OF other pending legislation
unanimous agreement was reached that the
committee on territories should report next
Wednesday. December 3, and week later
the bill will become the unfinished busi-
ness OF the senate. This means that un-
less the measure is displaced by vote or
by unanimous consent IT will occupy the
first place on the senate calendar until
disposed Of.
II is the current expectation that this
program will be carried out, whether the
committees report is favorable or unfa-
vorable, as the agreement contemplated
consideration. regardless of the character
OF the report.
There is no definite information as TO
what the committees decision will be but
at the last session all the republican mem
bers OF she committee except Senator Quay
voted to defer consideration, while Sena-
tor Quay and all the democratic members
voted for immediate action, the result be-
ing a majority of one for postpOnement II
Is known that some OF the republican mem
bers favor an amendment OF the bill so as
TO provide for the admission OF Oklahoma
only, and It Is the prevailing opinion that
the committee will divide on this propo-
sition, all republican members except Sem
ator Quay being considered favorable to II.
However. the transpositlon OF one repub-
lican vote would insure the report OF a
bill TO admit all three territories.
A protraoted debate is probable, The
friends OF the house measure claim to have
the support of all democratic senators and
