BOER MOVEMENT
 NOT IMPULSIYE
ACTION WAS EVIDENTLY ADVISED BY REPRESENTATIVE IN EU- RoPE-KRUGER HAD A HAND IN THE CONFERENCE.

Amsterdam, March 24-It is believed in Boer circles here that the movement of acting President Schalk-Burger IS the re- suit of a communication from the Boer representatives in Europe. A former rep reeentative of the Transvaal government said today:
 After the exchange of the Dutch Eng nsh notes a conference was called for February. This conference was attended by MT. Kruger. Dr. Leyds and the dele gates, and it was decided to send six emissaries to South Africa by different routes, with dispatches for Steyn and Schalk-B Burger giving them detailed ac- count of the situation. One of these agents ought to have arrived about this time. Documents lately received from Schalk- Burger indicated that peace terms had been recently discussed by the lead CTS in South Africa, but the leaders de- clared they could not accept anything less than the terms demanded at Middle burg (By General Botha, February B, 1901) and especially the point of com plete amnesty for Cape rebels. because the greater part of the commanders ac- tualiy in arms are composed of cape m- surgents-
 -The fact that the Boers in the field are inclined to compromise their de- mands for absolute Independence" con- tinues the speaker, ''seems to be indicat- ed by the plan Schalk- Burger has out lined for the government for industrial centers. This consists of a British board of administration with proportional Boer representa tion"

MANY CASES OF
 LEPROSY IN U. S.
CONVEYED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER, SUCH CONVEYANCE BEING MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE SOUTHERN COAST.

Washington, March 24-The Secretary of the Treasury today sent to the Senate the report of commission of medical officers of the marine hospital service ap- pointed to investigate the origin and pre- valence of leprosy in the United States The report shows PTS cases of leprosy in the United States distributed by states as follows:
 Alabama 1, California N, Florida 24 Georgia 1, Illinois 5, Iowa l, Louisiana 155, Maryland l, Massachusetts 2, Min nesota 20, Mississippi 5, Missouri 5, Mon- tana l, Nevada l, New York 2. North Dakota 16, Oregon l, Pennsylvania 1, South Dakota l, Texas B. Wisconsin 8.
 Of the total number 176 are males and 102 females; 145 American born 120 for eign born and the remainder uncertain It is stated that 1Ss of the cases were contracted in the United States, but the opinion is expressed by the commission that this number is too large and that some of these cases were brought from abroad.
 The commission says that leprosy is conveyed from one person to another in the United States, such conveyance be- ing most markedly noticeable in the states of the Southern coast; that a large ma tority of the cases in the United States (33 per cent are at large; that at present only P of the cases are isolated and pro vided for by the states or cities in which they are located, and that many of those now at large. if not all, would be willing to be cared for by the public if proper leprosaria existed for their treatment and comfort. The commission recom- mends the establishment of a retreat for lepers, and expresses the opinion that 1t should be in the arid southwest or in a similar region farther north. or on an island in the gulf of Mexico or on the Pa- cific coast.
 Of the 155 cases reported from Louisi- ana 101 are In Orleans parish and S7 in the leper home at Iberville. Of the seven cases in New York four are in Kings county and three in New York county. The commission expresses the opinion that the figures given do not represent the total number of lepers in the country because they say that the loathsome character of the disease causes persons affected to conceal 1t as long as possible. They also express the opinion that it is most frequently contracted by inhaling dust where lepers have been located.

CAPITAL CRIME
 NOT COMMITTED
ONE OFFICER GIVES DAMAGING
 TESTIMONY AGAINST MAJOR
 WALLER, WHO IS ON TRIAL BE- FORE coURTMARTIAL, MANILA.

Manila, March 24-At the continuation today of the trial by court martial of Major Littleton T. Waller of the marine corps on the charge of executing natives In Samar, Lieutenant John H. A. Day. of the marine corps asked permission to amend his evidence, saying 1t was an investigation to which he was a party.
 The judge advocate, Major Henry P. Kingsbury of the Third cavalry cross- examined Capt. David D. Porter of the marine corps, who said it was his im- pression that General Smith had given Major Waller the power of life and death over prisoners. Capt Porter said that while he was with Mayor Walters com mand he did not see any native commit any act which he thought should be pun ished with death Captain Porter said Sergeant Quick was with him and that the sergeants report was consequently gathered from what he had heard from members of Lieutenant Williams party.
 Answering a member of the court mar tial Captain Porter said that General Smith did not explicitly give Major Waller the power of life and death over prisoners and that treachery should be punished with death.

BoERs WORK IN HARMONY.
Report of Friction Between Civil and
 Military Officials is Unfounded.

The Hague, March 24-Regarding the fears expressed in the British Press that the Boer generals would not be inclined to recognize the authority of the civil government of the South African repub- lies in case the latter decided to open peace negotiations, well informed persons here declare that such apprehension Is unfounded. They point out that the Boer civil and military authorities have always worked in perfect harmony and that MT. Schalk-Burger and the government could not have proceeded to the Orange River Colony via Midd1eburg and Pretoria without at least the consent of General Botha-
 In conclusion it is said that the final decision as to whether serious peace over lures shall be made rest entirely in the hands of the burghers, who will have to decide 1t at public meeting
 Armlstice Established.
 London, March 8.-The Daily Chronicle this morning asserts that an armistice has been arranged pending the duration of Schalk- Burgers mission to General DeWet and that offensive operations against DeWet.

WHIPPED MAYOR
 AND THANKED GOD
YOUNG WOMAN FOLLOWS IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CARRIE NATION AND WILL NOW MAKE A MOVE
 ON THE GOVERNOR OF KANSAS.

Topeka, Kan, March 24.-NIss Blanche Boise, a protage of Mrs. Nation, horse whipped Mayor Parker In his office at the city building today. Three times she slashed the Mayor and then he sprang at her, gripped her by the throat, choked her, tore the rawhide out of her hand and pushed her into the hall. As Miss Boise was thrust out of the office of Mayor Parker she exclaimed: "Thank God I've done 1t; I've horsewhipped you, and now I am going to horsewhip the Governor"
 Before beginning her horsewhipping Miss Boise gave the Mayor severe scolding and accused him of being re- sponsible for the fact that the joints are running openly in Topeka and for the recent murder committed in a saloon.
 She then pulled the horsewhip from the folds of her dress and struck the Mayor three times across the head and should CTS. Miss Boise is a nurse by profession. She is about 35 years of age.
 When seen by the reporters after the affair Mayor Parker refused to discuss 1t. The woman who whipped him talked freely. She said .,
