Prediction of Kruger Recalled.

PARIS, March 2S-The Temps
recalls the saying of Mr.. Kruger
that Queen Victoria, Cecil Rhodes
Lord Salisbury, and Joseph
Chamberlain would be in their
tombs before the South African
Republics were Incorporated as
part of the British empire. The
paper thinks the Beers will re-
gard the death of Rhodes as di-
vine judgment. 1t prints re-
view of his career, in which 1t ex.

but says he was devoid of princi-
pie, and was not affected by mas
sacres, plundering and violation
when they formed part of his

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28-Ar
thur Whitaker, an old man
claiming to be on the shady side
of his eighty-sixth birthday, and
S. L. Ryan, twenty-six years old
were brought from New Albany
as United States prisoners last
night by Capt. Tom Halls and
Deputy United States Marshal
Alonzo Boyd and lodged in jail.
Both men had been given hear
ings before United States Com
missioner George B. Cardwill of
New Albany.
Whitaker, who does not ap-
pear to be over sixty years old,
is a peculiar genius. He is
charged with impersonating a
revenue officer and collecting be-
tween IS and $40 from a saloon
keeper at New Albany, where he
was arrested several days ago.
He voluntarily confesses to hav-
ing operated extensively in the
same business in Kentucky. He
claims authorities there have
thirty or forty cases of a similar
nature against him.
II am an old soldier" he said.
I'm a retired officer, too. l
served forty years in the regular
army in all parts of the United
States. have a record that is
hard to beat
The officers do not believe his
story and think he is somewhat
unbalanced mentally. Ryan was
arrested at Versailles on the
charge of impersonating post
Office Inspector and collecting SO
from DR., Zazay. postmaster at
Milan. Ryan claimed he was IN
specting the rural free delivery
mail routes and drew a peculiar
order on the postoffice for alleged
expense money"
The officers also arrested John
Springer and W. H. Ramsay at
Versailles on the charge Of max
ing counterfeit money. 1t is said
they made and passed a large
number of spurious dollars. half
dollars and quarters, and the Off
GERS say they have a clear case
against them. Springer was re-
leased on bond and Ramsay was
committed to Jail at Versailles.
The federal grand jury will
take up their cases in May.

Isolated by a Snowstorm.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 20.-A
letter from Chadron, Neb., un-
der date of yesterday, say S that
town and district east and west
for hundred miles has been
practically isolated as a result
of the snow and sleet storm of
Monday and Tuesday. Telegraph
and telephone wires and poles are
fat in all directions, and not a
message has been received or
sent for three days. In the Black
Hills two feet of snow fell and
trans are badly blocked. Wires
are down In Deadwood, and that
place is nearly cut off from com.
munication from the outside
world.

Widows Will Be Protected.

WASHINGTON. March 26.-The
declaration by the President that
so long as he is in Office no de-
serter will fine favor with him
has excited the interest of organ
izatlons as to what will become
of the widows of soldiers who
deserted, afterward enlisted in
other commands and drew pen
slons for this latter service. The
matter was presented to hiu to-
day by Gen. John P. Donahue,
past national commander of the
Union Veteran Legion and ma
tional chairman of the committee
on pensions of that organization.
General Donahue commended the
stand taken by the President
with regard to deserters, but
wanted to know his views as to
the soldiers widows. The Pres
ident replied that in all cases of
the character mentioned brought
to his attention he would careful.
ly consider the circumstances
and where possible give the wild

Hopeful Of Peace.

LONDON. March 28.-The Dali
ly Mail claims to have informa
ton that the negotiations in pro-
gress between the Boer leaders
in South Africa inspire the great
est hopefulness. The absolute
sincerity of Acting President
Schalk- Burger and his colleagues
is not doubted. They will do
their utmost to bring about a
speedy settlement if Steyn will
agree.
The bishops of London, ST.
Adams and Rochester have ap-
pealed to their dioceses to spec
tally pray on Good Friday "that
both sides may be granted the
temper of peacemakers, and that
Gods mercy and peace may
come" The appeal concludes:
1--WE shall not forget that similar
prayers are being offered in the
Dutch churches at Pretoria.

Valuable Metal Found.

HELENA, Mont, March 28-
Edward Massing, a well-known
stockman of the Snow mountain
country, has made the discovery
of a very valuable, but little
known mineral on his ranch near
the east end of that group. Sew
eral samples of the rock have
been sent to Helena and Butte
and the owners informed that
the quartz runs very high in
strontium phosphates, a mineral
used largely in pyrotechny.
Authorities differ as to the value
of the mineral, varying from
1928 an ounce refined to 1850 a
ton crude. The discovery was
made by the merest accident.

INDIANAPOLIS, March o.
Yesterday afternoon number of
confusing and apparently con-
ficting orders were flashed over
the wires to the trainmen en-
ployed on the Evansville & Terre
Haute railroad, and some of them
were so manifestly erratlc that
an immediate investigation was
ordered at the chief train dis
patcher's Office. The trouble
was explained when it was found
that Joseph Ehret, one of the
most reliable operators in the
employ of the company, had be-
come suddenly insane while at
his key. He was taken from his
work and became so violent that
he had to be confined. He is SO
years of age, and has been in the
employ of the company for 80
years.

TO FIGHT NEW GERMAN LAW
United States Will Adopt Retaliative
Measures on Exclusion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March %
While no policy has been de-
fined as to the course this gov
eminent will pursue in meeting
the new exclusion law of the
Germans, all the measures that
appear to be practicable probably
will be adopted. The matter is
only in the preliminary stage,
but today it progressed so far
that facts and figures bearing on
the trade and the articles of i'm
port from Germany which may
be available for imposition of
similar restrictions are now ready
for submission to the President
and his advisers.
The department of agriculture
has been gathering these facts,
and a list of articles found to be
treated with borax or. other pre-
servatives, against which has
been laid the charge that they are
Injurious, has been completed, and
the question of policy will be
given serious consideration very
shortly. The articles that first
will be considered along this line
are sausages, wines, beers, and
delicatessen. A large per cent
of these, among other things,
have been found to contain pre-
servatives such as might cause
them to be barred on the same
theory as that adopted by the
Germans. The United States
has been excluding for some time
articles containing salicylic acid
and another acid clearly proved
to be injurious, but the enforce
ment of these conclusions un-
doubtedly will be made even more
rigorous.

TO EVACUATE MANCHURIA.
An Agreement Between China and Russia
About Ready Tor Signing.

LONDON, March 29.-The Pc
king correspondent CT the Times
cables that Paul Lessar, the Rus
sian minister to China, and
Prince Ching, president of the
Chinese foreign office, have
agreed on the main conditions of
the Manchurian convention and
that the early signing of the
agreement is expected.
The evacuation of three prov
inces is to be carried out IN three
successive periods of six months
from the signing Of the conven-
ton. Various vague conditions
such as ''if the state of the coun-
try permits" are to be excluded
from the agreement. 1t is stip-
ulated that the convention must
be ratified within three months
from the day it is signed.
The correspondent says that
China is inclined to agree to Ger
many's demand for the extension
of the railway from Tsinan-Fu in
Shan-Tung province, across the
Grand canal at Techau to Ching
Ting, on the Peking-Hankow
line.

MhDE Rash STATEMENTS
His Charges of Bribery Money Being Used
in Congress His Principal
offense.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-ln
the house yesterday. Richardson
the democratic leader, offered a
resolution calling for the apoint-
ment of a committee to investi-
gate the charge made by Captain
Won Christmas, agent OF the
Danish government, who claims
to have made a secret report to
his government setting forth that
he is entitled to ten per cent. or
altogether about half million of
the price to be paid by this gov
eminent for the Danish West In
dies, a part of which he alleges
was used in briblng members of
the United States congress and
other American citizens and for
Substituting the American press.
The resolution was adopted.
The speaker appointed the fol-
lowing committee: DalzelI, Penn
sylvania; Hit, Illinois; Cousins,
Iowa; Mccall, Massachusetts,
Republicans; Richardson. Ten
nessee; Dinsmore, Arkansas;
Cowherd, Missouri, Democrats.
Christmas in his report, accord
ing to the affidavit of man who
claims to have seen it, states
that he was obliged to use large
sums of money to subsidize two
press associations and members
of congress.
Richardson read the transla-
tons from the Danish newspa-
pers, in which it was stated that
Christmas had bribed American
legislators on credit, the under
standing being that they were to
be paid out of his commission as
soon as Denmark received the
purchase money from the United
States. Another paper said
Christmas carried on his negotla-
tons with the members of con-
gress Through G. w. Knott. an
intimate friend of Senator Han
na." Richardson also read ex-
tracts from Christmas report, in
which Christmas set forth that
he had made the acquaintance of
the presidents brother, Abner
Mckinley, and his partner, Mr..
Brown, who he said, is in a posi-
ton to have influence with bust
ness men and statesmen. The
further report of Christmas says
that Mckinley and Brown had
entree to the White House and
knew about the affairs of congress
aud were we'll informed as to
what the members of congress
must be paid to accomplish re-
suits.

AMERICA SOUNDS GERMANY
Kaiser Will Not Oppose Russia in
China.

BERLIN. March 29-There is
high authority for saying that
the government of the United
States has been sounding Germa-
ny as to how far that country
would 60 toward maintaining the
"open door" in China. The pur-
pose of this inquiry was to learn
for the guidance of Washington,
whether Germany, in any event,
would take a resolute stand for
equal trade opportunities. This
inquiry resulted in obtaining from
the very head of the German en-
pire the impression that Germa-
ny, while willing to take an iden,
tical attitude with the other pow
ers for the "open door," would
not, IN a final instance, oppose
something that Russia really de-
sired. This is the first principle
of Germany's exterior policy, and
it applies fully to the East Asian
question.

WARRINGTON, D G. March %
President Roosevelt yesterday
sent to the house a veto of the
bill for the relief of Emanuel
Clauser from the charge of de-

The President says this bill.
like the senate bill in the case of
James W. Howell, not only au-
thorizes the president to act, but
also orders the secretary of war
to revoke and set aside the order
approving the proceedings, find
ings and sentence of a general
court-martial, and to grant an
honorable discharge.
sit appears to imply" says the
president, 'the possession by con-
gress of the power of overruling
and reversing by statute a valid
judgment. If it did not do that,
1t was simply an exercise of the
pardouing power. 1t is question:.
able whether congress possesses
either of these powers, and when
the bill directed the secretary of
war to revoke an order, congress
in fact did a thing which it or
dered him to do"
