FAVOR A SURRENDER
Believed That the Transvaalers
Favor General Surrender
OF the Beers.
Acting President schalkbursef
Now on His Way to
Kroonstad.
Question Of Peace or War Ems
tirely in the Hands Of
Steyn.

Wo1ve Hoek, Orange River. March
25.-The train having on board Acting
President Schalkburger and party
passed this place on the way to KroonS
stad Sunday. They were accompanied
by Captain Marker, Kitchener's aide
de camp, and five other members OF
the staff of the British commander-in
-cllief. The impression here is that the
Transvaalers favor a general surrender
Of the Boer forces.
London, March 25.- Sir George
Goldie, vice president of the Royal Geo-
graphical Society and founder of Nige-
ria, who has just returned from thor>
Hough investigation in South Africa
where he was comforting with Miner
Kitchener and Rhodes and a number on
ether influential men, and brings home
rather pessimistic ideas of the general
situation, from the British point OF
view. Conditions in Cape Colony he
regards as especially dangerous and
considers the most serious British diff
culties have been centered there anoe
will be in the future. While recogniz-
ing the possible Importance of Acting
President Schalkburger's step, he was
convinced the question of peace or war
rests in the hands of President Steyn.
That Kruger and other Beers in Europe
no longer represent Boer opinion. Tho
real difficulty in the path of peace, he
believes, is the question of granting
amnesty to Cape and Natal rebels. The
vague promises of the British govern
ment have not the slightest weight
while the fighting burghers are in their
present state of mind. Goldie advo-
Gates granting amnesty to the rebels
but insists that every one must be dis
franchised for life. This, he declaress
would go far toward allaying the Bit
torness of the loyalists. He estimates
that 100000 armed men will be needed
in South Africa for some years after
the conclusion of peace.

proves A certain Kansas City con-
Germ has been doing a big business in
Iowa, making extrayagant promises,
and when an effort was made to get
after it the managers snapped their
fingers at the Iowa auditor and showed
that their company was nothing more
than a partnership or firm and that 1T
was not amenable to the laws OF Iowa.
Examination of the statute showed this
TO be true. The attorney general, there
fore set out to prepare bill that
would cover the case and compel these
catch-penny schemers to come under
Iowa laws and be regulated. 1t is a
comprehensive measure and will affect
not only the concerns now doing bust
ness in Iowa, but may cover many other
similar cases.
The house pardons committee last
evening made partial report on the
work done. The cases of John Ballew
and Theodore Busheck were acted on
favorably and in the last case the gov
ernor is authorized to grant full pardon
if he deems it right. Three appeals for
pardon were denied, namely, those OF
Christine Behrens, Byron Quinn ana
Jasper Mason. There are eight other
cases before the committee.
-
A good story is being told In regard
to the N1olsberry bill and the way 1T
was not defeated. This is the bill over
which there was a decided difference OF
opinion as to whether or not 1T was
merger bill" and primarily intended to
invite great corporations to make head
quarters in Iowa for the transaction OF
gigantic business. Those who opposed
the bill in the senate were bitter In de-
nouncing it as most dangerous meas
ure and one which would virtually in
yite the Northern Securities Company
to come to Iowa when driven out OF
Minnesota, and elsewhere. The friends
of the bill insisted that it was nothing
more than a bill to bring the statutes
up to date. But be that as it may the
opponents of the bill are alleged to have
gent one of their number to Minnesota
to pay a personal visit to Governor Van
SAINT and get him to write letter pro-
testing against the passage of said bill
as, an insult to neighboring state.
While the emissary was absent the bill

almost unanimously. Whether Van
SAINT wrote the letter does not yet ap-
pear. 1t is now too late.
T The bill to permit the granting of
certificates to those who hold diplomas
from colleges without examination was
discussed by the senate yesterday
afternoon and considerable opposition
arose. Trewin contended that it was
all wrong to make this discrimination
and that every one ought to pass ex-
aminations The bill would permit
the granting Of certificates to those who
have graduated from the State Normal
School and from such colleges as have
the right kind of courses in normal
work.
The house committee on libraries has
voted to recommend the bill by Jones
to destroy the value of the present law
in regard to setting apart a portion of
the takes for school libraries. 1t leaves
the matter optional with the school
boards and not necessary.
The committee on soldiers and or
phans' homes of the house today rec
commended for passage the bill to give
the commandant of the Soldiers Home
the power to appoint assistant sur
geonS.

Captured.
Prediction That the Rebellion
Will Be Successful...News
From the Orient.

Victoria, B. c., March 25.-Marcus
C. Hill, a Yokohama merchant, who ar
rived on the steamer Kaga Maru, is
said to be carrying orders to New York
for arms and ammunition for the rebels
in Southern China.
Hill, in an interview, says If the ca
BILE reports of the capture of six cities
by rebels is correct the movement
which is under direction of Sunyatsen,
will be successful. Before leaving for
America Hill saw the rebel leader and
was told by him that $4,000 troops We're
ready to join the rebellion and would
bring with them modern arms and am
munition. Recruits are flocking to the
rebel standard and there hope is to
reach the city of Canton. Here they
expect to get sufficient ammunition and
arms and treasure to carry on the re-
bellion, which will eventually result in
the overthrow of the reigning power
in China DR.. Sunyatsen believes the
time opportune for a rebellion, the
Chinese being dissatisfied with foreign
domination of the country.

following dispatch described conditions
prevailing in Kwansiko: According to

Der of insurgents being estimated at

of new model. Since the return of
the Chinese court to Pekin, nine million
taels, the aggregate sum of tribute
from the different provinces, has been
exhausted. 1t is reported that 100000
taels were spent to pay railway fees
from Pao Ting to Pekin. The revenue
