The engagement resulted from the ar

military authorities, locked them up in

not an unusual thing for the police to

tonight that the situation of the county

a conflict could not be avoided.

Dictator Is Expected. !
AS result Of the existing condf-
tions, there is possibility that Russia
may be placed under the rule of dic-
tator within few days. This course
was frequently suggested since it was
evident that the czar and the warning
factions Of the douma could not come
to terms. AS the grand ducal clique
has had the upper hand, it is reasonable
to suppose that their wishes in this re-
gard will prevail.
In spite of the enormous enmassina
Of troops in the capital and the knowa-
edge that the foes Of parliament have

tional democrats are trying to put .
brave face on the situation. They have
further humbled themselves before the
government by abandoning proposal
to send parliamentary commission to

agrarian disorders.

~ ERLIN, July 22.-The official re-
port Of the government concern
- ing the result Of the war
against the native rebels in German
southwest Africa contains appalling de-
tails OF the campaign Of determination
which has been carried on by the Ger
man forces in the campaign against
the blacks.
In the initial campaign the rebels
numbered 10000 men and outnumber-
ing greatly the Germans sent against
them. So soon as the German forces
were able to assume the offensive a
campaign Of ono quarter was inau-
gurated and carried thru Death was
the portion of all rebels and the Ger
man forces were so persistent that
their enemies were soon driven into the
desert, where they persisted by the
hundreds Of starvation and thirst. An
immense area of the arid land is now
strewn with thousands of rotting
corpses and bones from which; the flesh
has been devoured by birds and beasts.
The terror-stricken fugitives dug
holes in the desert to the. depth Of six
feet, using their hands, being without
tools, in the vain hope Of finding water.
After hours and days Of desperate dig
ging, which finally proved futile, they
laid down and died in the wallows they
had created by their own hands.
+, It is estimated that 100000 natives
perished in the desert, of whom many
were aged men, women and children
The campaign is declared to have been
without parallel in point of ferocity
in recent years, and is likely to prove
a strong weapon for the socialists at
the next meeting Of the reichstag.

Crowds Gathering Today.
The supporters Of a dissolution claim
that the emperor must take the risk.
They argue that new elections may give
different results and it is better to
fight than to surrender abiectly to the
revolutionary parliament. The govern
ment anticipated that the dissolution
Of the douma would be accompanied
by tremendous excitement and blood
shed and troops were niassed at st.
Petersburg, Moscow and other centers
Crowds are gathering in the public

the parliament and an outbreak is

II ONDON, July 21.-South African
troubles are taking on danger
GUS phase. The influential
minority in the house Of commons has
been greatly irritated by the reports
Of the slaughter of the wounded and
prisoners in the suppression Of the
Natal rebellion. Private letters have
been published showing that the colo
nial troops frequently get out of hand
and that the. allied native levies are
guilty Of gross cruelties.
The Natal government officially de-.
MED the worst stories, also the bishop
Of zululand' g accusations, but feeling
.conasS Sues to run high.
Apparently nothing can stop the fire
of bitter questions in the house Of com
mons, which are SO framed as to con-
vey stinging censure in every word.
These structures are wired to Natal
and re-echo thru Cape Colony to the
Transvaal, uniting the British and Boer
whites against the mother country as
no other issue would.
Slaughter Appalling.
The Transvaal government Is fully
alive to the possibility Of a general
rising Of Kaffirs and the tension In
Johannesburg is so great as to inter
fere seriously with the normal life Of
that city. The most hopeful element
of the situation is the continued sue
cess Of the Natal field force against
the rebel Zulus.
Several battles have been fought
and invariably the slaughter of natives
has been terrible. Everywhere the ma
tives are showing symptoms Of inso-
lence unprecedented.
Perhaps the most significant devel-
opment in the situation has been the
seizure of 500 assagais and knobker-
rees in the nine compounds.
A hundred reliable native policemen
were detiled to mingle with the mine
workers and ascertain the general feel.
| ing. The discovery Of these weapons
was the result.
Plan to slay Wounded
The widest rumors are current re.
garding the imminence Of a genera
outbreak. One report fixes certaiI
date for the uprising, when the Zulus
and allied tribesmen are ordered te
assegai all white women and children
In consequence, the general nervous
ness and alarm in Johannesburg has in
terfered seriously with business. The
native unrest is the sole topic Of con
i versation in the clubs, restaurants, anc
homes. A number Of men are arrang
ing to send their wives and families tt

MASS MEETING Of
STUDENTS WAS
Hello
Decide to Submit Proposition
of Abolishing Intercol-
legiate Games.

Shall the University of North Da-
kota abolish intercollegiate football
This was the theme under discus
sion at mass meeting of the stu
dents held at the university Thurs
day afternoon, and at the end of
which it was decided to submit the
matter to vote of the student body
at the regular athletic association
election, which will be held some
time next term.
The proposition before the students
is that of abolishing football as an
intercollegiate sport, and make it a
strictly interdepartment game. Anent
this proposition, the board of contro.
has issued a statement. The board
takes the position that athletics
should be put on broader plane, and
that of selecting seven men to play
on the university team, they would
make 1t game in which the entire
student body could take part or, in
other words, have a larger represen-
tation in sports.
Should the board of control plan
be adopted, it would mean a most
radical change. The affairs Of the
football team for the past season and
the one before have been very I'M
satisfactory and thi. fact lead to the
present movement. With the adop-
ton of the plan, next season would
see almost every student in football
toys. Games between the classes ana
departments would be played. There
would be all the way from 20 to 100
students in the game, and much
more interest it is expected would be
taken in the sport.
