Eared

Kimberly, Griqualand, Monday, June
16.-Commandant Kemp. General De-
larey's lieutenant, who surrendered at
Mafeking, June II, has arrived here. In
an interview today he gave SONS .nter-
estng figures regarding the war He
said that about $4,000 Beers were in the
field at the ouset, and that only 1,500
out of 5000 available fought at Colenso,
where the Boer losses We're not heavy
AT Spion kop, where the British suf-
fered so much the Beers had only fifty
men killed. In one of the fights outside
of Ladysmith the Beers had fifty-six
men killed and over 100 wounded. Their
loses We're heavier at Brankspruit and
Vlakenfonten. The Beers We're often
worried by the British shrapnel and
lyddite fire, but when entrenched they
did not fear the shells. Members of
the Boer forces often managed to get
into Johannesburg, Krugersdorp and
Pretoria, securing valuable information,
and frequently crossed the blockhouse
lines at night. Commandant Kemp did
not allow Beers of his command to wear
khaki, the British uniform.

| West Virginia, whose opposition or an
| tagonism to the president has been well
| known all winter. He moves in a mys-
| terious way his wonders to perform
and to cover his tracks had the West
| Virginia convention pass q resolution
indorsing the presidents adminstra-
ton. At the same time the senior sena-
tor from West Virginia, a state which
never has raised any beet sugar and
never will. has become the champion of
the nti-administratio ton forces. The old
senators now admit without hesitation
that the purpose of the present cam
paign in the senate is entirely antag-
onistic to the president.
1t has been hoped by the conspra-
tors that if they could bea, the Cuban
reciprocity scheme it would serve to
discredit the president in the eyes of
the people and make them believe he
had no influence in congress. Up to
the present time this attack on the
president has been skillfully yelled,
but within the last two or three days
under the leadership of Elkins, tho
personal factor has been constantly
in evidence, and there is now no doubr
IN the minds of those who are studying
the situation that it Cuban reciproci-
" is beaten, as now seems likely it
will be as the result of q senatorial
cabal which has for its sole object
the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt fol
the republican nomination in 1904
The Older men in the senate tonight
admit there is but slight prospect of
securing vote on the Cuban reciproc-
ity question. They would like to force
a vote il possible, and this is what
Senator Aldrch, the administration
leader, still hopes to be able to do. Tho
difficulty about this is that any one of
the beet sugar senators on the repub-
l1can side or q democrat holding SINH
lar views can stand out to prevent a
vote at this late day in the session.
The administration senator's who are
honestly loyal to the president, have
exhausted every means in their power
to force vote.
1t seems impossible however, to
force the senate to take vote on the
Cuban question. Elkins, of West Vir-
ginia, Burrows, of Michigan, and other
antagonists of the president do not
wish to have a vote and will not con-
sent to it at any time They desire

unwilling to go on record in opposition
to him, because they know that in the
long run the people will be sure to
sustain President Roosevelt as soon az
they understand that he is being made
the victim of Il senatorial conspiracy.
The president himself says that he
will do no more to secure Cuban rec
iprocity. He sent in his recent mes
sage only after a consultation with
the Oldest and wisest sena tors on the
republican side. He did not originate
the policy Of reciprocity with Cuba,
but inherited it from President Nc
Kinley. He has done all ir, his power
to put it thru congress. He will not
attempt any extraordinary means, but
is perfectly willing to appeal to the
people at the next congressional cleo
tons

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
Seven Candidates for the Gubernatoria
Nomination in the Field.

NOMINATION IN tne FlSlQ.
Lincoln, Neb., June 1S.-The republi-
can state convention was called to or
der this afternoon with the seven orig
inal candidates for governorship still
actively in the field and two or three
dark horses, who claim to see a pros
pect of political lightning striking them.
Two days and nights of caucusing has
failed to simplify the gubernatoral fight
and the individual confidence of the
seven candidates is unshaken. An es-
innate OF their probable strength on an.
initial ballot is Robertson. $50: Black,
200; Sears, $50; Mickey, $50; Wilson,
110; Jessen, 100: Dinsmore. 75.
The friends of j. II. Van Dusen,
South Omaha. claim he will have sup
port on the first ballot and few COM
plimentary votes may be cast for Gov
ernor Savage and Former Governor
Crounse. The incident of the morning
was the announcement of the with
drawal of State Treasurer Stuefer as
Candidate for denomination. Five can
didates remain for that position. There
is little interest in the platform, so far
as it refers to national affairs, as it is
generally conceded the politices of the
administrator will be indorsed.

TO DEFEAT ROOSEVELT.
Sugar Beet Senators Thought to Have
That Objec in Mind.

Chicago, June Is. - A Washington
special to the Tribune says:
1t begins to look as If the senatorial
combination which is especially direc-
ted toward the discontinue of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is likely to be successful
There is now no doubt of the fact that
the entire campaign against Cuban rec
iprocity, at least so far as the senate is
concerned, has for its entire object the
discrediting of the president.
For along time it has been known
that clique of fifteen or twenty sena-
tors was determined to beat Col Roose-
welt whenever they could do so in such
way as to do him political injury.
This has been an open secret and it has
only recently become apparent that the
Cuban reciprocity measure has been
made the basis of this personal animos-
ity, of course, is more political than
personal, but 1t is directed entirely to-
ward denomination of President
Roosevelt.

hine undoubtedly is Senator Elkins, of

Blakemore does not get that district
for railroad commissioner. Mr.. Blake
more was in the city yesterday and
while he was not making display
of himself he was around among
friends and talked Il great deal about
his chances for the nomination as
railroad commissioner. That he has
fully determined to be candidate is
not to be doubted. He is confident
that he can get the Eighth district
back of him. But as a matter of fact
one who was at the district conven.
ton at Creston where Hepburn was
nominated states that the feeling
among the delegates was very strongly
for Ketchum for railroad commissioner
and he is sure to get several of the
delegations entire from the Eighth
district. Quite a number of the Eighth
district republicans are anxious to sup
port ketchum.

is getting into deep water. For some

in favor of increasing the price of

has long been 10-cent town and the
customers find 1t hard to go to a Is
cent basis. Quite a number Of tho
BARRIERS who run union shops in the
suburbs where the customers will no4
and can not pay the increased price,
have resisted the proposed increase.
At the last meeting the union issued
an ultimatum that all shops must
charge Is cents and close at O'Clock.
To comply with this means the SHUT
ing UP Of several small shops. The
proprietors are going to continue at the
old rate and make fight against an
increase.
