Quebec, March 11.-Col. John f. Gay
nor and Capt. B. d. Greene, who are
charged with completely in the Savan-
nah frauds, spent a quiet day at the
Chateau Frontenac in this city. They
do not appear to be in the least wor-
ried as to the outcome of their cases.
The Provincial Attorney Generals
Department. which has charge of the
administration of justice in this prov
ince, has not received any instructions
as to the arrest of the accused.
Notwithstanding the statement made
by Col Gaynor to-day that he might
return to the United States on the 17rh,
both he and Capt. Greene have secured
the services of distinguished counsel,
who in the past have handled some ia
nous fights against extradition pro-
ceedings in this province.
They have retained to look after their
interests Hon. Jules Tessier, member
of the local Legislature, ex-speaker Of
the legislative assembly, and who some
years acted in a like capacity for j. c.
Emo of New York, and L. A. Tascher-
eau, also a member of the local Legis-
lature and law partner of Hon. Charles
Fitzpatrick, Minister of Justice of Can
ada.
Capt. Green had a long consultation
with Mr.. Tessier tonight. He de-
clined to discuss the case after the
conference.
Col. Gaynor and Capt. Green were

R00SEvELT'S FIRST VETO.
"a Charge of DesertiOn standing
for Forty Years.

Aurns Down a senate Bill to Remove
"a Charge of DesertiOn Standing
for Forty Years.
Washington, March 11.-President
Roosevelt to-day sent his first veto
message to Congress. 1t was directed
to the Senate and the bill vetoed was
one removing the charge of desertion
from the naval record of John Glass
The message was as follows:
There can be no graver crime than
the crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; it is
then high treason to the nation, and
is justly punishable by death. No
man should be relieved from such a
crime, especially when nearly forty
years have passed since it occurred.
save on the clearest possible proof of
his real innocence. In this case the
statement made by the affiant before
the committee does not in, all points
agree with his statement made to the
Secretary of the Navy. In any event
it is incomprehensible to me that he
should not have made effective effort to
get back into the navy. He had served
but little more than a month when
he deserted, and the war lasted for
no effort whatever to get back into the
war. Under such circumstances, it
seems to me that to remove the charge
of desertion from the navy and give
him an honorable discharge would be
to falsify the records and do an in
justice to his gallant and worthy COM
rades who fought the war to n finish.
The names of the veterans who fought
in the Civil War make the honor list
of the republic, and l am not willing
to put upon it the name of a man I'M
worthy of the high position.
Theodore Roosevelt
After the message had been deliv-
cred, Senator Gallinger, from the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, read the re-
port of the committee, on which the
Senate acted. From this statement it
appeared that Mr. Glass enlisted in
January. 1854 wheE only 16 years of
age. and that, having witnessed an act
which compromised the second officer
Of the ship, he was taken ashore in

BRITISH STAND STEADFAST.
Blows Only Stiffen Their Resolution.
Have Got to See the Thing
Through. Said ROsebery.

Through, Said ROsebery.
London, March 11.-Expressions Of
steadfastness have to- day succeeded
those of humiliation which were uni
versally heard here yesterday on the
publication of the news of Gen. Me
thuen's disaster. There is little dis
position to minimize the incident, but
everywhere is heard the determine
ton to maintain the tradition that
blows serve to stregthen and stiffen
British resolution. Lord Rosebery
struck the popular note to-day in a
speech before the Glasgow students.
He admitted that it was heartbreak-
ing after all the expenditure of life,
time and money, but he added:
1T will not dishearten us. We have
got to see this thing through We
must take the blows which fortune
deals us with equanimity, showing
ourselves worthy of better fortunes
Lord Rosebery expressed the hope
that more prosperous times were in
store, and that in the future 'it would
be our proud memory that when our
country passed through the storm we
did not for a moment finch and were
not for an instant dismayed.'
May Have Been Another Defeat.
Reports from the continent that the
defeat of Gen. Methuen was followed
by another fight also favorable to the
Beers, occasion some anxiety, owing
to absence of news from Gen. Gren-
felrs column of 1900 men, which left
Klerksdorp to join Gen. Methuen. 1t
is thought that possibly Gen. Delarey
may have attacked Grenfell.
The war secretary, Mr. Brodrick
when asked in the House of Commons
to-day what steps had been taken in
view of the success of the Beers
against Gen. Methuen, to send Lord
Kitchener reinforcements, said 5000
yeomanry would be Immediately en-
barked, with large drafts of cavalry
and infantry. Lord Kitchener would
be given all the assistance he asked

moved northeast, the greatest severity
being experienced in the neighborhood
of Thirty third street and Larimore
street. Although perhaps fifty build
ings were more or less damaged, no
body was seriously injured. Persons
who were caught In the storm had mar
row escapes, and Mrs. Amanda Geary,
who lives at Thirty third street and
Grand avenue, probably escaped death
by being absent from home. Her
house was picked up and scattered
over a square of ground, bits of the
furniture being found in a neighbor-
ing field. Telephone and electric wires
in the path of the storm were
strewn over the streets and a great
number of poles were torn out. Frank
lin School. one of the largest in the
city, had to be abandoned temporarily.
A large chimney was blown into the
roof, which eaved in and demolished
the interior of several rooms. Small
buildings We're blown about and sew
eral barns were torn to pieces.
The Monmouth Park Methodist Epis-
copal Church was literally torn to
pieces.
The Emmanuel Hospital was badly
damaged by a large chimney being
blown through the roof. Several
greenhouses were wrecked by the hail
Nearly all the skylights were blown
off the Coliseum building.
Several near by towns in this coun-
ty report the worst storm for years. 1t
was particularly severe at Valley and
Elkhorn and at the latter place a I'm
ion Pacific train was struck by fall
ing coal chute and considerably dam
aged, although none was injured. At
Florence. three miles north of the city,
and where the city water-works are

buildings from their foundations, but
the water works plant was not af-
fected.

Claims.
Norfolk, Va, March 1.-THE Board
of Trade tonight adopted resolutions
upholding the decision of the arbitra-
ton board in the street car strike, and
declaring that both parties to the diff
ficulty should at once come to an agree
ment and call the strike off.
The strikers are still confident and
in a statement issued tonight declares
that there was a tacit understanding
between their committee and the
Chamber of Commerce that the oath
of union men would be respected in
the findings of the arbitration board
and bring their letter accepting the
board into evidence to substantiate
their claims. The letter accepts arbi-
tration under the conditions laid down
by the strikers committee in a con-
ference with the Chamber of Com
merce the day previous.
To-day the first point yielded since
arbitration was decided upon, was
made by the strikers in a letter to the
street car officials in which they agree
that charges against street railway en-
ployes must be proven to the satisfac-
ton of a committee, one to be appoint
ed by the Norfolk Street Railway and
Light Company, one by the employees
and these two to select a third to hear
evidence. The decision of the commit

port, from Central American and Mex
lean ports, brings details of a recent
disaster between LaLibertad and a
point thirty miles north of Acajutla.
Without a moments warning a terrific
tidal wave burst over all the length of
the coast, and when the Newport

that SO bodies had already been re-
covered and buried. No possible esti-
mate of the full loss of life could be
made.
The wave went entirely over the bar
riers that had been built along the
coast, swept the towns of LaLibertad
and Acajutla, carrying away the fresh
water pumps of the latter place.

Warfare Insured and "A Fair and

Washington, March lie H. Wes-
sells and A. D. w. Wolmarans, the
Beer delegates in this country, had
a talk with President Roosevelt to-
day at the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting. They called to pay their re-
spects and to say goodbye, as they
will leave for Europe about the goth
instant, after visiting Chicago and a
number of other places.
In the course of their interview they
stated that they desired to particu-
larly make known to the President
that they neither asked for, desired,
nor expected intervention on the part
of the United States or any other
country.

printed about our mission to this coun-
try since we came TO Washington, !"

is that we are trying to get interven-

Die, and as matter of fact we do
not want it. What we do want how
ever, and what we have laid before
the American government, is a request
that civilized warfare be insured in
South Africa. That is all we want
now. We have not put before the au-
thorit1es any request that this plan or
that plan be adopted to insure the
carrying out of Ne rules of civilized
warfare, but we will leave that who'll

steps 1t sees fit. We want a fair and
square fight.
President Kruger is not seeking in
tervention in Europe, and all stories
of that kind may be denied whenever
they are seen. The Beers have moth
ing to lose and all to gain by keeping
up this fighting. They may call it
guerrilla warfare if they want, but it
is at least humane warfare"

Washington, March 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Finance did not COM
plete the consideration of the war rev.
enue repeal bill to-day. A number of
amendments were adopted at to-day's
meeting, hut they deal almost entirely
with the phraseology and the opinion is
still expressed by members of the COM
mittee, that the effect of the bill when
reported from the committee, will be
the same as was intended by the
House.
One of the amendments agreed upon
by the committee changes the provis-
ion of the bill affecting tobacco AS
the bill passed the House 1t took no
cognizance of the reduction of 20 per
cent. made in the tobacco tax in the
last session of Congress, the effect of
which ii is believed by members of
the Finance Committee would be to
reduce the tax to 81. so per hundred
whereas the intention was to place it
at Sc, the antewar rate. The Senate
amendment. corrects this error. The
committee also discussed an amend
ment, leaving intact the tax on buck

Methods, However.

rain prevails all over the state to-
night reports from the Panhandle and
West Texas being that the drought is
relieved. In North Texas the fall
ranges from two to six inches, while
in South and East Texas the fall is
nearly as good. Two tornadoes have
done damage in Dallas county, but
wires are down. and it is impossible
to get details beyond the fact that two
people are known to have been hurt,
thought to be fatal. At Greenville a
schoolhouse was torn to pieces by cy-
olonic disturbances shortly after school
was dismissed. Every one escaped
with the exception of one little girl
and she was not badly hurt. The rain
is worth much to the state, as the dry
weather was becoming a very serious
matter
