very cleverly plotted 1t was just on
the eve of the last general election,
while, you may recollect, everything
was still utterly unsettled as to the
future unity of the country and of the

then existing Irish party were, to say

REBELLION IN SOUTH AFRICA
CONSTANTLY SPREADING.

Many British Defeats During Fall
Not Reported BY Lord
Kitchener.

London, Jan. 24.-The Daily News
has published, from it's correspondent
at The Hague, whom it claims to have
been very accurate, the following dis
patch taken from private advices:
News from South Africa has reach

increasing daily, that rebellion is on
stantly spreading, and that the colon
lists are joining the Beers in steadily
increasing numbers. The executions

1901, and Commandant Scheepers,
January 10, 1902, have had the result
of deciding loyalists to join the Beers,
whose position is persistently report.

The same private advices assert
that the British suffered a dozen de
feats from September to November
1901, of which no mention is made
in Lord Kitchener's reports.

Manila, Jan. 24.-Both the civil and
military authorities here deprecate

Professor Schurman's Boston speech,
and the minority report in the senate

they say are liable to have a bad eff

General Wheaton, commander of the
department of north Philippines, says
men have been sem to prison here for
remarks such as those of Professor
Schurman and that if what he advo-

mean the expenditure of much treas

water. Now, as before, he adds, 5O,-
600 soldiers are needed here and will
be required in these islands for at
least five years. 1t will be then pos

after the colonies of Holland and
Great Britain, they having proved the

Conflict Of Opinion Regarding Power
to Make Them.

H H.."... ~ "VaNC .w
Washington, Jan. 24.-The sub-com-
mittee on foreign relations which has
had under consideration legal ques-
lions connected with the reciprocity
treaties, today decided to report to
the full committee their opinion on
the treaty making power OF the ex-
ecutive and senate on questions at
fecting tariff.
The contention is made on behalf
of the house of representatives that
under the requirement that all reve-
u laws should originate in the
house that body should cooperate in
the consideration of all measures bear
ing on that subject.
The subcommittee will report, that
in it's opinion, such is not the case,
and will take the ground that the
treaty making power of the president
and senate is unrestricted and that
there is no obligation to consult the
house on tariff questions, when they
are contained in treaties.

URGES HOMESTEAD LAW.
Secretary Root Believes That Fill
pinos Should Be Given Lands.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Secretary
Root today appeared before the house
insular affairs committee to urge the
enactment of a homestead law for the
Philippines. He said there should be
a way to enable the Filipino to ac-
quire title to property and that denial
of that right was, in his opinion, the
cause of much of the present disturb
ance He thought a homestead law
should be passed to permit the natives
to make entry of 100 acres of land as
the maximum, the local government
to fix the minimum. He urged the re-
peal of the Spooner amendment pro-
hibiting the cutting of timber and the
granting of franchises. He said that
industry in the islands should be pro-
NOTED, not prevented. The islands
needed railroads to develop their
abundant of timber, coal
and other minerals.

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS
COLONEL CHARLES H.. BURTON
GIVES TESTIMONY.
Bought Carriage and Paid for Repairs
to Residence From Pub
lie Funds.

Havana, Jan. 24.-In the hearing to-
day Of the charges growing out of
Cuban postal frauds, Colonel Charles
H. Burton, formerly inspector general
of the division of Cuba, testified to
having made investigation of the Cub
an postal department, during which he
had found irregularities in the aud
itor's office, showing double credits
amounting to $4,000. His examina-
ton of the books of c. F. w. Nicely,
he said, disclosed the probable en-
bezzlement Of $45,O 900 during the
months of January. February and
March of 1900, and total embezzle-
ment of about $1,000 since July,
1899. He said this estimate of the
d%efalcation was made from a report
Of the amount paid in by Cuban post
masters and the amount Nicely had
deposited to the credit of the depart
ment of posts.
Cross-examined Colonel Burton said
he had bought a carriage from the in
sular funds. He had put in a bath
tub and heater in his private house,
payment for which was also made
from the insular funds. Other army
officers, he said, had done the same.
He thought he was entitled to a car
riage from the insular funds, but said
he had only the verbal authorization
of General Adna R. Chaffee, formerly
chief Of staff to General Brooke, for
the expenditures. Colonel Burton
said Rathbone had no rank in the
army, but that he held a high official
position.

SALOON KEEPERS TROUBLES
Used Water Too Freely on One Of
His Customers.

His Customers.
Forsyth, Jan. 24.-Thomas Meehan,
a saloon keeper of this place, was ar
rested upon complaint of a railroad
laborer commonly known as "Alkali
Bill" 1t seems that "Alkali' was in
the Meehan saloon in an intoxicated
condition, when Meehan poured some
ice water down 'Alkali's" back. This
was resented by the victim of the
joke, whereupon Meehan proceeded
to beat him. The case will come up
before Judge Dowlin.
When this case is disposed of Nee
han will probably have to answer the
more serious charge of breaking a
boys nose. The name of the lad
could not be learned, but it S report
ed that he went into the saloon after
his father, who was intoxicated. Nee
han resented this, and struck the boy
several times. The young fellow went
to Glendive for medical treatment and
is expected here tomorrow to lodge a
complaint against his assailant.

DUST EXPLOSION IN LOST CREEK
MINES.
CAUSED BY A F|zzLE SHOT
Smoke and Debris Blown 200 Feet
Hiuh and Works on Surface
Wrecked.

Oskaloosa, Iowa, Jan. 24.-As a re-
Greek this afternoon Il dead are in
N im%provised morgue and eight in
jared are in a temporary hospital.
An explosion occurred at the noon
hour and was what is known as a dust
explosion. The miners had just fired
their usual noon shots, n of which
proved to be q fizzle. The burning
powder ignited the gas and the ex-
plosion followed.
Smoke and debris were blown out
of the shaft 200 feet high. Part of
the top works were torn away and the
fans and cages were partially wreck
ed. This made the work of rescue
very slow and it was 3 o'clock before
volunteer parties dared to venture
into the east entry where the explo-
sion occurred.
When they fought their way in, a
horrible sight greeted them. The
dead and injured were terribly burn
ed and mutllated, some OF Lnem al
most beyond recognition. A fire,
which it was at first feared would
prove destructive to the entire mine
had broken out and this added terror
to the spectacle. The fire was finally
controlled and, after several of the
rescue party had succumbed to fumes,
all the dead were found and carried to
the top of the shaft. At the time of
the explosion more than 100 men were
in the mines, but all except the men
in the east entry escaped with only
slight injuries.
The total property damage will be
about $40, 900.
It was nearly 6 O'Clock this evening
when the last of the dead were taken
out and the scenes Of anguish among
the families of the men were mos'
pitiful. Nearly all of the men were
married and leave families in poo
circumstances.
The mine is owned by the Los
Creek Fuel company of this city, ant
has been in operation about n year
