A party which passed through the city
sisted of British and Boer soldiers who
fought on opposite sides during the Boer
war and several natives of South Africa
There were about 200 Boer officers and SOL
diers and 12o British, and they fraternized
perfectly. When they landed at Newport
News few days ago General Cronje was
asked if the Beers were prospecting now,
had they fully accepted British rule. and
were they happy? He answered through
an interpreter: THE spirit of peace and
industry has settled over the land. Every
one has his farm back, and the people are
now at work cultivating them. AS in all
countries at the close of a war, there are
some dissatisfied spirits, but the great ma
jority of the people are reconciled and
happy" While the war was going many
Americans, more Jealous than wise, wanted
this government to intervene and prevent
England from "enslaving'' the Beers. The
Democratic national convention of 1900 de-
clared that 1--WE view with indignation the
purpose of England to overwhelm with
force the South African republics" The
conservative sense of the country was that
England was simply enforcing her just
rights, and that the interests of good gov
eminent and of the Beers themselves would
be promoted by her success. Events have
proved that this view was correct.

YELLOW CANDIDATE AND A real

The New York Herald publishes letter
from Mr. Arthur Brisbane setting forth the
transcendent qualities of William r. Hearst
and his paramount claims on the presi-
dency. Mr.. Brisbane is one of the earliest
discoveries of Hearst ard has furnished
the brains and the hot air for his boom
since it was first launched. To give him
nopentity into real political factor than
would have been deemed possible before
the experiment was tried.
In the screed referred to he says:
The American people-like all people-are
interested in personality. If they are asked
TO vote they want to know whom and what
they are voting for. Is there any
other candidate coDspicuousy mentioned

Hearst is known. The entire country
knows him. Every storekeeper. cab driver,
lawyer. doctor-every intelligent citizen in
this country-knows about Hearst, and
knows what you are talking about when
you advocate his nomination for the presi-
dency. What other candidate do they
know anything about?
And this about a man who is serving his
first term in Congress, where he has not
made a speech or introduced a bill, and
who before he went there had never done
anything to win the confidence or respect
of decent people. 1t is true. if the Amer-
can people are asked to vote. they want
to know whom and what they are voting
for but 1t is not true that Hearst is known.

An indianapolis paper yesterday printed
a story to the effect that William Randolph
Hearst would probably withdraw from the
presidential race as a result OF the setback
ne mad received in Kansas on Thursday.
when he secured but six OF twenty of the
delegates from that State to the ST. Louis
convention. The story was based on a
telegram, alleged To have been sent by
Hearst to Andrew NJ Lawrence. man.
aging editor of the Chicago American. and
received by Lawrence while he was in this
city Thursday. This telegram was said
TO contain the expressions, Kansas no
good and Guess had better confine
ourselves to journalism"
Mr.. Lawrence. in a long distance tele-
phone message TO r. NJ. sherwood. one OF
the men in charge Of the local Hearst head
quarters. last night denounced the story
as an unqualified fake and asked that his
denial be given to the Indianapolis papers.
MIR. Lawrence spoke most emphatically
and most explicitly said Mr.. sherwood.
He said that the story was absolutely
without foundation. that no such telegram
had been sent 10 him by Mr.. Hearst, and
that Mr.. Hearst would neither abandon
his campaign for delegates in Indiana nor
withdraw from the presidential race. He
said that he made this statement on the
authority OF Mr. Hearst"
In commenting on the withdrawal story
Mr.. sherwood expressed the opinion that
IT had emanated from Parker sources. and
was intended to hurt Hearst in yesterday S
primaries in this city and county.
/. Taggart, the leader of the Parker
forces in Indiana, discredits the report that
Hearst is about to withdraw from the fight
for the presidential nomination.
Il nave no definite information about the
matter, but L don't believe there's anything
in the story" said Mr. Taggart last night.

a story from Washington to the effect
that Mr.. Hearst is making overtures TO
Judge Parker in which he intimates he will
withdraw from the race if assured that he
