South Dakota Democrats.

Sioux Falls. S. D., March 12.-
Mem bers of the South Dakota
state democratic central COM
mittee are in session here today,
in response to the call of Chair
man Pussy. The purpose is to
decide upon the time and place
for holding the state convention,
but of more interest than this rou-
tine work is the discussion as to
what position will be taken by
the democrats in the campaign of
this year. Under the provisions
of the law passed at the last SEES
sion of the legislature for ballot
reform, there can be no complete
fusion between the democrats
and populists, unless either party
consents to lose It's identity in Ia
vor Of the other. The law pro
videS that any ticket placed on
the ballot must be under one
party name II the other and the
same name cannot appear twice
on the ballot. This will force the
"reform element to unite under
the name of populist or democrat
and place their ticket under the
one head, or else form a new

B0ER DELEGATES
MAKE COMMENT
Secretary DeBruyn Gives Out
Out a Short Statement
of Conditions.

Washington, March 12.-Fhe
two Boer ENJOYS, Wolmarans and
Vessels, aud secretary peBruyn
were notified today Of the Boer
victory and the capture of Lord
Methuen. Speaking for the two
ENJOYS, Secretary De Bruyn
gave out the following statement:
"We can suggest nothing
stronger as proof that the Beers
are still in the field and fighting
hard for liberty than the fact that
a force of over 1000 British SOL
diers has been captured by the
,-atriots, and over 500 prisoners
taken. This shows that it is
hardly guerilla warfare that is
going on in South Africa, and
that the so-called scattered bands
of Beers seem peculiarly able to
overcome far Superior forces Of
the enemy"
London, March l2.-Delarey,
who has proved himself to be the
most able of all the Boer gener-
ais, has within a fortnight gained
a second decisive victory.
His first victory was the Cap
ture of Vondonop's convoy when
the British casualties in killed,
wounded and men made prison
ers totalled 632, and he has / low
added to his laurels by the cap
ture for the first time through
out the whole war.
