and Vinlted Place Where
Doers Had Never Been.
iLQNDQN, .March 4. General Dewet lost
heavily In men and stores by his Incur
sion into Cape Colony, but he seems to
have made a clever escape -with the bulk
of his commando. Apparently Command
ant Hertzog crossed the Oranse River
with him.
General Hamilton, who "was pursuing,
heard that General Dewet was surround
ed at Phllllpstown, northwest of Coles
bers. On arriving there he found the
Boers had not been at Phllllpstown at all,
but had doubled back and were struggling
across the river at Colesburg. Apparently
this is another instance of. defective in
telligence regarding the doings of the
Boers.
The Dally Telegraph has. a dispatch from
Colesburg dated yesterday, which says:
"Numerous columns are still hunting for
Dewet. This place is in a hubbub, and the
troops are marching off In various trains
to press the pursuit further."
Boers Cross the Orange Jllver.

crossed, both men and horses swimming.

to Q,nlt Ships.
MARSEILLES, March 3. A mob of sea
men and stokers who joined the strike of
dock laborers marched to the docks thlg
morning and endeavored to induce the

some disorder before the strikers were
dispersed by the police.
The steamship companies are experien
cing considerable difficulty in recruiting
laborer, .and a number, of ships which
have arrived since the strike began hayo
been compelled to proceed without dis
charging their cargoes. The Peninsula &
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Golconda, from .London, proceed
ed .for India without discharging cargo
consigned to Marseilles, and the same
company's steamer Himalaya, from Co
lombo, proceeded for London unable to
discharge 2000 bales of silk.

tempt to organize a ministry. A regent
Is endeavoring to solve the crisis.
Senor Sagasta, In consultation with
Senor Villaerde, informed him that the
Liberal party would energetically oppose
the -future Ministry, because the solution
of the crisis was contrary to the interests
and exigencfes of the country. He de
clared also that the Liberals would discuss
the budget no less critically, lienor Vll-
laverde replied that the equilibrium of the
budget was the only policy that would be
of service to the. country.
The .Heraldo attacks the .future Cabinet
because, it asserts, power has been placed
in the hands of "a man who will provoke
disorder with, ne-w taxes." .It refers to the
crisis, as 4!the gravest that has occurred
during the regency."

AMERICAN PREPARATIONS PRAC
TICALLY COMPLETED.
Germany Show FevrSIjyns o Lcnv-
In? EnBlIih Anxious Ahont In
temion of French.
PEKIN, March 3. The American prep
orations for" departure are going actively
forward. All supplies, except enough for
two companies, have been packed and
marked for ilanlla. The British plans
contemplate a Summer along the Pel Ho
and a general .removal of forces .leaving
behind next Winter half a battalion of
Welsh fusiliers as a Legation guard m
Pekln,. together with an Indian Regiment
to guard the railroad.
The Germans show few signs of an in
tention to depart, but are endeavoring to
sell 50.000 American and Australian horses,
as .well as a, quantity of camels.
It Is rumored the French Intend to with
draw part of their forces, leaving only an
Infantry brigade, a regiment of cavalry
and some artillery to protect the French
Legation, and to guard the lines of com
munication. A part of this. It Is under
stood, will be employed to guard the
Franco-Belgian Railroad frona Pekln to
Pao Ting Fu.
In French military circles It Is freely
asserted that the Government Intends to
send a force to be stationed permanently
at Hankow, and to guard the other end
of the Luhan Railroad, 130 kilometers of
which have been captured. More, deflnito
information on this point Is awaited With
anxiety by the British, who regard such
an intention with serious misgivings, be
cause it is calculated to bring about com
plications with the Yang Tse Viceroys, If
for no other reason.
Particularly noticeable just now are th
sharp lines drawn between the - various
nationalities at the sodal functions. Gen
eral Gaselee. the British commandor, gave
an elaborate dinner at which only British,
German and 'American representatives
were present. Including Generals, Minis
ters and Secretaries of Legations. M. De
Glers. the Russian Minister, gave a ban
quet at which only Russians, Frenchmen
and Austrians were guests, while the Jap
anese Minister entertained at dinner last
evening all Americans and Japanese. The
officers' club at the Temple of Heaven,
where games and other amusements are
provided. Is attended only by the English.
Americans and Germans, with, the pos
sible exception of a few Japanese on rare
occasions.
The Ministers of the powers now meet
thrice a week, but no business of great
importance is transacted. They are now
going over local claims. The subject of
legation defenses Is also being considered,
although this will be left for final con
sideration until the United States Gov
ernment has reached the decision as to the
legation barrack question, which the Le
gation is anxious to have settled Immedi
ately in order that the building may be
constructed before the rainy season
sets in.

Japan has notified China, -says, the Pe

being granted any , advantages, territorial
or commercial, Japan will require equiv
alent advantages.
"Although. England, Japan, Germany,
Austria, Italy and the' Unltd States have
addressed similar academic remonstrances
there Is every reason to believe China
will sign the Russian convention In full,
Russia having formally Intimated that the
terms are irrevocable. Li Hung Chang is
so deeply committed to Russia that he
Is no longer a free agent, and It Js Im
possible for him to evade authorizing sig
nature. "The text of the convention has not
been communicated to any power, nor
has any power been able to promise ma
terial assistance In safeguarding China in
the event of her refusal to sign the con
vention. With a view to insuring signa
ture, JL de Glers informed Li Hung Chang
that Russia would not participate In the
demand for the execution of the 10 prin
cipal offenders."

BIRD GETS A NEW TRIAL.
Alaska Man Who Is Said to Have
Committed Murder In a Passion.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. The action of
the Supreme Court, in reversing the de
cision of the District Court of the United
States for the District of Alaska, In the
case of Homer Bird against the United
States, again opens, up a. story of many
repulsive details. Brlefly.stated the case,
as, recited by the attorneys for Govern
ment. Js as follows: , .
"The defendant was. charged with and
convicted of the crime of imurder.. The
defendant originally came from .the City
of New Orleans, where, in. March, 1S9S, he
joined with Charles Shefller, R. L.' Pat
terson and the deceased, J. H. Hurlln, In
a prospecting tour for gold In tho Terri
tory of Alaska. The four men each agreed
to furnish ?GO0, but Shefller failed to put
up his quota, and Bird furnished 51000.
and the remainder of it was contributed by
Hurlin. and Patterson. --The party sailed
from San Francisco May 2L 1S9S; reached
St. Michael in July, and about a week later
started up the Yukon River. It is appar
ent from the testimony that during the
progress of the journey serious difficulties
had arisen between the partners, which
were partly due to, differences of- opinion
as to the respective shares of the part
ners in the joint enterprise and the quar
relsome disposition of the defendant. As
a result of these differences, Shefller, Pat
terson and Hurlin determined to leave
Bird.
The attorney goes on to relate the story
of how Bird, on the morning of Septem
ber 27, became Involved with the other
men of the party and In a passion shot
Hurlin, killing him Instantly, and then at
tempted to take the life of Patterson. The
attorney then continues to argue:
"It also developed tnat after-the shoot
ing. Patterson, In fear of his life, pro
fessed friendship for Bird, apd nsked him
to spare his life, and Bird relented so far
as he was concerned. The murder was,
therefore, an inexcusable atrocity, and
unless the defendant has been unfairly
convicted his sentence should stand."
The counsel for "Bird made the point
that the jury which tried Bird had been
illegally impaneled; that improper evi
dence had been admitted and Improper ar
guments made, as well as errors-in the
Instructions of the court to the Jury. All
of these various points were contested by
the attorneys for the Government, but In
spite of their best efforts the court re
versed the action of the lower court and
remandea the case. ,
FORMER PORTLANDER WINS
Snlt Over Alaska Mines Decided In
His Favor,
WASHINGTON. March 2S. The United
States Supreme Court. In affirming the
decision of the District Court for the Dis
trict of Alaska, In the case .of Dan Marx
against William M. Ebner; has sustained
the interests of a former resident of
Portland. Or. Briefly reviewed, the case
as stated by the attorneys for the appel
lant Js as follows: .
"August 20. 1SS9, the Takou Mining &
Milling Company owned 13 mining clalm3
at Juneau. Alaska, and On that day mort
gaged the same to Sainuel Coulter for $98,
405 91. Eight of .said 'claims were subse
quently sold tcr Syfctester FarreH. "Coul
ter sold and asslgrylfsald mortgage to
Willis Thorp, ,who attempted to foreclose
the same by publlcatlon.,and who after-
warus uenverea io me respondents a aeen
which purported ta convey all at said
property to" the respondents. FarreH and
the Takou Mining '& Milling Company
conveyed all of said 13 mining claims to
this appellant. The appellant commenced
this suit to redeem, from said mortgage,
and directly attacks the foreclosure pro
ceedings, and for the purpose of exposing
Its Invalidity, a complete copy of the
record Is Incorporated In appellant's bill
of complaint. Respondents' demurrer- to
the bill was sustained, and the bill dis
missed, whereupon -the appellant brings
this appeal. Therefore, If said foreclosure
proceedings operated to pass the title to
said property, the decree should be af
ilrmed, otherwise the decree should bo
reversed. Appellant claims that the fore
closure proceedings and the decree there
in are void, and the objections to snld
record will be presented here in the order
they appear therein."
DEMAND ABSOLUTE SLAVERY
Violation of Contracts for Which
Negroes Are in Penitentiary.
COLUMBIA. S. aTMarch 3. Unusual
revelations are expected today when the
grand jury of Anderson County reports
to a special sitting of the court upon the
investigation ordered February 15 by Gen
eral iJeanette. The, following facts, will
be brought to the attention of the court:
That In tha convict penitentiaries In An
derson County were found negroes guilt
less of greater crime than refusing to
comply with labor 'contracts, which de
manded absolute slavery. These contracts
should not have been held lawXul. and the
negroes, though never taKen before a
magistrate, were hy physical force kept
in bondage and made to wurk as felons.
The contracts signed by these Ignorant
negroes were negotiable papers. A land
owner having a negro bound to him for a
year's work could sell" his contract to a
third party.
The. attention of the court was directed
to this matter by evidence in the. trial
of Charles Newell, a planter, whose, farms
are worked by, convicts. Newell was
charged with murder, having sho Will
Hult. a negro, trying to escape from his
stockade, when it was shown that the
negro had never bqen convicted. of a crime
before a Magistrate or a Judge.

isn't too short, isn't in the least
