A CHIVALROUS BOER
General Delarey Worthy of His
Huguenot Ancestors
HOW METHUEN WAS RELEASED
RurGhers Oppose 1t Bitterly, but Are
OverruIed by Their
Commander. Ell
Hev York SUI, ssec1as Service

London, March IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail, dated at Klerksdorp, March
Is, via Pretoria, March 16, gives an ac-
count of General Methuen's disaster. 1T
says that the pompom and field guns That
the Beers brought to bear on the kraal
occupied by some Of the British We're
those captured from Colonel Won Donop,s
column. The pompons sent in 700 SHOTS.
The British infantry were outnumbered
ten to one. -
An exceptionally gallant defense was
made. Men and officers fell round the
guns. Two officers who fell across the
limbers were removed and then the firing
continued. General Methuen mounted his
horse to go and bring UP the mounted
troops, who had retired for some distance.
He was then hit in the thigh and his
horse was killed.
After his surrender General Delarey
rode up and treated him with every con-
sideration and courtesy. He ordered Gen
eral Methuens return to Klerksdorp IN
der the care of his own nephew, with
Colonel Townsend, who was wounded in
three places. Many Of the burghers bit
terly opposed the release OF General
Methuen, and party was sent to bring
him back. General Delarey, however, IN
sisted upon his being set free and carried
the day. He placed two of his wagons al
the disposal of General Methuen and
Colonel Townsend. The correspondent
speaks highly of General Delarey, saying
that he displayed all the old time chivalry
which characterized his Huguenot an
cesters.

moments Of the Polk county convention,
announced his decision to make no fur
Their contest against Captain Hull in the
congressional campaign in the seventh
district, leaves Hull an easy road to ira
vel to denomination in the district con-
vention. 1t is assured he will have no OPP
position OF consequence from now on,
though the republican county chairman of
Story county has advised friends here
that his county will indrose Prouty re-
CARELESS of his retirement.
Judge Prouty's decision to accept the re-
suits OF the primaries, without boiling
the convention, but after making a strong
and thorough exposition of the alleged
frauds committed by the Hull supporters,
has made him many friends Moreover, at
the close of the convention, in announcing
his decision, he made an address of re-
marka bic power, in which he did not re-
cede from his position in the campaign,
and said that he would be in the fight
again in two years. This address won him
commentator from friends and opponents
alike and the feeling in Des Moines now
is that he cannot be beaten for congress
two years hence.
Captain Hull has returned to Washing
ton to look after congressional business
that is urgently demanding his attention
Lacey's Hard Row.
The outcome of the contest, ending as it
has in victory for Captain Hull, is OF
no little Importance to the rest Of the
Iowa delegation in congress. The defeat
OF Hull in Polk county would have been
hard blow to the old guard and would
have encouraged opposition to Henderson
in the third district and to Hepburn in
the eighth, as we'll as to Lacey in the
sixth. AS things now are, it does not ap-
pear any organized contest of a serious
kind can be made against Henderson or
Hepburn. The opposition to Lacey, how
ever, is formidable and he is likely to
have hard struggle to retain his seat.
Several candidates for Lacey's place are
already at work Among these are Repre-
sentative N. e. Kendall Of Monroe county.
Judge Carr Of Montezuma, Poweshik
county, and Judge Sewers of Oskaloosa
Mahaska county. Ex-senator Waterman
Of Ottumwa, Wapello county, is also being
discussed as probable candidate and is
a man Of much strength ~
Lacey is by no means idle and is pre-
pairing for the contest. The recent action
or Secretary Shaw, in appointing R. W.
Clayton Of OskalOOsa, member of the re-
publican state central committee from the
sixth district, to a position in the treas

with other congressional aspirants and
that his appointment was sought by Lacey

Boston, March 17.-Thanks to the eff
cacy of the British censor, the arrival at
Halifax of Boer prisoners Of war on the
steamer Harlock Castle on her way from
Bermuda to England has been allowed to

ALI were fighters under Cronje. They
were at Magersfontein where the famous
Highland brigade was sent in against
the Beers and so cut to pieces that it:was
necessary to organize a new Highland
brigade. When Cronje gave up his sword
and they were taken prisoners, all the
men brought from Bermuda on the Har-
lock Castle were strong and robust men.
Since then they have been inmates of
prison camps, first in South Africa, next
at St. Helena and finally at Bermuda. One
