from Major John +. Lacey at Wash
ington, the big cannon from the Maria

government to the city of Ottumwa,
will start tonight from the national

some days ago that the gun had al

information was not received to that
effect. Major Lacey's letter however,
settles the matter, and the gun will
arrive in Ottumwa within few days
Major Lacey's letter to Mayor Picker
is as follows:
Washington, April IS, 1902.
"Hon. T. H. Picker

BoERs ISSUE 4 MANIFESTO
Statement That 80, 600 Farm Houses Were
DESTROYED by the British.

Amsterdam. Sept. -. - The Boer
generals, Botha, DeWet and Delarey.
have issued manifesto in the shape
of an appeal to the civilized world.
The generals say that. having failed
to induce Great Britain to grant fur
ther assistance. it only remains for
them to address themselves to the peo-
pie of Europe and America.
The small Boer nation" SAYS the
manifesto. can never forget the help
it received in its dark hours of Suf-
fering. Our people are completely
ruined. 1t has been impossible to
make a complete inventory. but we
are convinced that at least 3o.000
houses on Boer farms and many viii
lagos. We're burned or destroyed by the
British during the war. Everything
was destroyed and the country was
completely laid waste. The war de-
manded many victims, the land was
bathed in tears, and our orphans and
widows Were abandoned. We are ap-
pealing to the world for contributions
to assist the destitute and help in the
education of children"
The generals repudiate all desire to
infiame the minds of the people. and
declare: 1.-THE sword is now sheathed,
and all differences are silent in the
presence of such great misery" They
say the small amount given by Great
Britain, even if multiplied ten fold,
would not suffice to cover the war
losses alone. The amount given by
the British government was $15.000,-
600. 1--WE solicit the hearty co-opera-
ton of all existing committees in the
various countries which we are on the
point of visiting with the object of
establishing satisfactory Organiza-
ton"

MR.. PARKER MAY REMAIN
as HOSPITAL CHIEF CLERK

At the business session of the Hi
nois League of Republican clubs,
held at Peoria yesterday, officers
were elected as follows:
President-Clarence f. Buck, Mon
mouth.
First Vice President-C. J. Fellows,
Chicago.
Second Vice President - Thomas
Hudson, Galva.
Secretary-Harry b. Ward, Du-
quoin.
Assistant secretary-H. Jones, Ipa-
va.
Treasurer - John r. Robertson.
Jacksonville.
There were some things yesterday
at Peoria that did not exactly please
Gov Yates. When the governor
arrived Tuesday night he found him
self in a little difficulty because Of
John W. Parker, retiring president of
the league. Parker is the chief clerk
at the Watertown asylum, a man of
excellent ability and fine record in in
stitution work. H. y. j. Mcdonald.
of Rock Island, was promised Par
ker's place. Yates went over to see
Parker Tuesday night and had a talk,
i'm the course of which Parker offered
Yates n position as one of the dele
gates to the coming national conven-
tion of the leagues.
When the convention met yester-
day Parker made his speech, and in
the course of it said:
'''The young and inexperienced vot-
er is prone to follow an individual
rather than to support the party
platform. He is apt to become a fac
ZIONIST before he is full-fiedged re-
publican. The republican party eN-
lists to better general conditions. and
the large majority of its members
welcome internal improvements. Con
duct your fight for what you think is
right from within the party rather
than carry on ii separate campaign
from detached point which to the
naked eye appears suspiciously like
the camp of the enemy.
1t must, nevertheless. be remem-
bered by the young voter. and by the
party leaders as well, that there is a
growing sentiment in favor of the eff
ficiency instead of partisanship. The
two can be combined, and if they are
united the voting public will ignore
party lines on all but national ques-
tions and consider service alone. The
republican party has already recog-
nized the justice of public opinion in
this direction, and without doubt
will. as usual, be the first to aid in
this advancement"
Gov. Yates. not to he outdone in
generosity. in his speech of the after
noon paid Mr.. Parker some handsome
compliments on his ability and stand
ing. Now the gossips are wondering
if Yates really intends removing
Parker.
