LONDON is BITTER AGAIN
More Troops and Incompetency" is
the British Cry.

London, March 11.-London is re-
covering today from the shock of the
news of the capture of Lord Methuen
by Delarey yesterday. Today the gov
ernment is bitterly condemned for this
latest humiliation to the prestige OF
British arms, and the old cry of Sim
competent and more troops" which
followed Methuen's disastrous rout at
Magersfontein three years ago, is re-
vived. The newspapers are demand
ing that new men be sent to manage
the campaign, and on all sides there
is wondermentexpressed at the marvel
Gus strategy of the Boer leaders.
When the extra editions of the news
papers appeared upon the streets yes
terday after the announcement had
been made in the House of Commons
there was rush for them, and the
news spread with great rapidity. 1t
was noticeable that those who pur-
chased them were silent after grasping
the full meaning of this unexpected re-
verse.
The papers fully admit the extreme
gravity involved in such reverse in
Aicted by body of Beers of equal
numerical strength. 1t is recognized
that although the damage is more
moral than material, it will certainly
have the effect of prolonping Boer re-
sistance for many months.
THE OPINIONS oFTHE PREss.
The London Daily News says the
event has scarcely parallel since the
dark, disastrous days when the North
American colonies seeded from Brit
ish control.
The London Standard says this de-
feat comes after q succession of mis-
haps for which it is impossible to ac-
count by mere bad fortune. "When
every allowance is made" says the
Standard, "we cannot Fpt find some
thing not cTeditable to ur vigilance
In these constant surpri is"

Joliets, ILL.,, March 12.--John p
Altgeld, former governor of Illinois
died at seven-nine this morning in a
little room in the Monroe hotel. He
was stricken with apoplexy at the
conclusion Of an impassioned appeal
in behalf of the Beers in the opera
house here last night. He was re-
moved to hotel and never regained
consciousness.
No relatives and but few of his
friends were at the beside The physi-

but while all but DR.. Stewart were at
breakfast Altgeld expired.
The body was embalmed this morn
ing and taken to Chicago this after

SHOCK TO CHICAGO
BY scrpps- -McRae Press Assn.
Chicago, March 1.-THE news of
Altgeld's death came as a great shock
here. Mrs. Altgeld herself is in poor
health and she tainted dead away
when, informed of the news and is
considered as in very serious condi-
tion. Altgeld left an estate of about
two hundred thousand dollars. He did
not belong to any secret orders, and
few clubs. Committees of the single
takers, municipal ownership league,
and socialists called at his office this
morning and asked tobe given a place
on the funeral arrangements.
William Thompson a member of his
law firm said that Altgeld died of over
elation over Delarey's success. In
his speech last night Altgeld declared
that Delarey, Dewet, and their fight
ing farmers we're more important
factor in the progress of the world
than King Edward, who was para
site, while they are pioneers in ex-
tending civilization.

CAN'T GET TOGETHER
The House Republican Caucus was
Fruitlesss

Washington, March 1.-THE fourth
conference of the house Republicans
on the reciprocity question was fruit
less, like those that preceded it, the
conference adjourning at midnight un-
til next Tuesday. The victorySwas
with the advocates of reciprocity, as
the motion to adjourn was carried, 70
to "a, after a motion to amend the mo-
tion to make it sine die ad djournment,
offered by Mr.. Littlefeld, OF Maine,
one OF the leaders of the opposition,
h ad been voted down 81 to 10.
The motion to adjourn was made by
Speaker Henderson and the opponents
Of reciprocity claimed after the ad-
journment that some of their friends
did not care to offend the speaker by
declining to heed his appeal for a
further conference. Earlier in the
evening the opponents OF reciprocity
had insisted on a vote tonight upon
the main proposition.
The session tonight was a stormy
one. Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
offered compromise proposition for
reciprocity arrangement to last un-
til December l, 1908, which he claimed
had the approval and Endorsement of
President Roosevelt. He also said he
had assurances that ifthe house grant
ed a copper cent concession, the senate
would not increase it.
About l30 members were present to-
night. Speaker. Henderson and the
leaders on both sides of the contro-
versy were in attendance. Represent
ative Cannon, of Illinois, presided,
and an arrangement was made for a
division of the time between the advo.
Gates and opponents of reciprocity.
Representative Long, of Kansas, q
member of the ways and means com.
mittee, opened with an exhaustive ar
gument in favor of the 20 per cent con
cession advocated by his colleagues o.
the ways and means committee.
He argued that the maintenance of 6

the proposition of the ways and means
committee, but that the policy of recip
rocity was. "The defeat of this bill, ;
said he, "means that the Republican
party has refused to follow the leader
ship of Blaine, of Mckinley and O
Roosevelt, and it would mean that re.
ciprocity was no longer a part of thu
Republican faith"
He pointed out that the Republican
platform of 1896 referred to the repea
of the reciprocity agreements unde
the Mckinley law as IA national ca
, lamity and demanded their renewa
and extension. The original section

THE DROUGHT Is BROKEN
Rain is Almost Genera Throughou
Oklahoma.

OklahomaCity, Ok, March 1.-THE
first rain in six months fell for six
hours last night. This rain, some
say, came in time to prevent the fail
ure of the wheat crop.
Anadarko, Ok, March 1l-After a
pro pnged dry spell, in which the dust
on Ie streets became from four to six
inches deep, the rainy season has at
last set in. A flooding rain fell last
night and at nine o'clock this morning
a steady shower has begun, bidding
fair to thoroughly soak upthe ground.
Real estate men prophesy that the rain
alone is worth million dollars to the
settlers ~ the new country comprising
Caddo, Kiowa and Comanche coun-
ties, as it will enable them to begin
spring plowing at once. City proper

night. From this point to Fort Worth,
Texas, heavy rain has continued all
day.
Wellington, March 1.-THE first
rain of any consequence for months
began falling here this forenoon. The
past week has been especially hard on
wheat, on account of the high winds
prevailing, and the moisture is very
acceptable. Still heavier rains are re-
ported west and south of here.
Cherryvale, Kas., March ll.-This
county is experiencing the first rain
that has fallen in this vicinity in six
months. 1t commenced early this
morning and slow rain fell through
out the day and up to tonight. Wheat
benefited very much and is put in
good condition for spring growth.
There has been water famine for
the past month and many have beer
compelled to haul water from creeks
almost all wells being dry. Unless the
rainfall continues for several hours
it will not be sufficient to help then
much.
