r OUGHT DESPERATELY
A Story of German Engagement in
 South-West Africa.

Berlin, April S.-The Southwest African correspondent Of the Cologne Gazette. pr. Mollenhof, has sent his paper a letter describing the relief of Omarura, on February 4, from which it appears that both sides fought with desperate courage. When the garrison of Omarura heard the firing of artil- lery of the relief corps, twenty-five of the beleagured force made a sortie against the enemy, who held natural fertilization consisting of a line of cliff-like projecting rocks.
 The Hereros attacked in front and rear" says pr. Mollenhof, "held their ground with marvellous tenacity. When the Germans rushed among them many of the Hereros crept into crevices of rocks where they were bayonetted. Lieutenant Von Knoellewarth received a mortar wound from the Hereros at twenty paces distant and a German cavalryman. searching the rocks for wounded, was killed at a few paces range.
 After being driven from this posi- tion the Hereros took up new one, contesting the ground inch by inch, and leaving a number of dead at every rallying point. After the hottest firing was over, the enemy fired at the Ger man wounded from the neighboring bushes and surgeons dressed the wounds while bullets were whizzing in the air.
 "The Hereros lost about a hundred killed or wounded, of their approxi- mate total of six hundred men. The German loss was eight men killed and ten wounded"

CALVARY RE-ENACTED
An Impressive Easter Service at the
 Russian Capital.

St. Petersburg, April S.-A hundred million of the emperor's subjects today revived the tragedy of Golgotha.
 The Russian capital seemed plunged in grief. The busy hum of the metro polls was gone. The streets were de- serted. All night and morning church bells tolled mcurnfully, reminding the faithful of the betrayal of Gethsemane Peters denial, the trial before Pilate the burden Of the cross, and finally the crucifxion. The scourging and mok- ing of the Savious were impressively re-enacted at Alexander Nevsky cath edral, Antonius, the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg officiating.
 This afternoon, at St. Isaacs' cath edral, was held the solemn ceremony of commemorating the hour of agony. accompanied by the beautiful service of song. The interior of the great cathedral presented a wonderful scene when at last the silver cross, on which was painted a picture of Christ cruci- fled, was borne out through the inner golden gates on the shoulders of the black-garbed clergy to a magnificent sarcophagus erected in the center of the church. The vast congregation, consisting of over ten thousand per sons was on its knees, each person holding a lighted candle Thrice the officiating bishops and deacons circled the bier and then all the lights were extingushed and fer hours throngs of people passed before the catafalque most of them sebbing and weeping.

 Should the republican party pass this bill. wicked as 1t is. a denial os the rights Of representation and par tisan in all it's material details. 70 viu but afford another indecent example of tho suppression Of individual. t-rrl-. torial and national rights to suoser, r partisan ends Even more than that. it is a surrender of power that sover- eign states would exercise In the union if the constitutional methods were foi- lowed in the admission or states Ir minimizes the influence Of the west nrI southwest in the citadel Of federal power in the United States senate.
 We are of the opinion that it ultl- mately will be better for the union thlt the territories opposed to consolidation shall be denied statehood under ta- theory of this bill indefinitely than that the conditions which will be forced t- such unnatural union should exist

HILL AND HARTMAN
The Former Speaks of the
 Ldtter'S Plans
He Doesn't Believe That He Can Secure the Control of the Northern Pacific Railway.

Chicago, April S-In an interview relating to the Northern Securities matters the Record-HeraId quotes J. J. Hill, who was in Chicago today, as follows
 MT. Hartman undoubtedly is trying to secure control of the Northern Pacific. That is easy enough for one to see. However, the states through which the Oregon Short Line and Northern Pacific run are inimical to such ownership and I presume he would be prevented from accomplish ing his purpose by those laws"
 Asked whether Mir Hartman would secure control of the road in the event that the courts sustain his views re- garding the redistribution of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific stock, Mr. Hill replied:
 He would not, in my opinion"
 In the Harriman-Pierce petition it is stated that MT. Hartman received nearly $),OOOOOO together with North ern Securities stock in exchange for Northern Pacific stock.
 When asked why this sum was given>Mr. Hartman, Mir. Hill replied:
 Tt was part of the purchase price of common and preferred Northern Paci- fic stock held by Mir. Hartman He sold his Northern Pacific stock abso- lutely and did not exchange it."
 In speaking of the Pierce suit, ME. Hill said:
 Mir. Hartman claims that it is a friendly suit: That is all 1 know about ft t''Fa7alH7f1
 Speaking generally of the securities decision MT. Hill said:
 The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the circuit court, and in or der to comply with the terms of that decree the Northern Securities com pany is making a rateable distribution of its railway stocks. In view of the fact that there were over 6O,OOO trans fers and retransfers, this is the only equitable distribution that could possi- ply be made. That question, will. how ever, be determined by the courts. Every stockholder has a right to have his legal status determined by the courts if he sees fit. The Union Pacific will have q right in this respect as any other sharehOlder except as their rights might be affected by the Sher- man act"
