DEWET'S BITTER SAYS "FAITHLESS BURGHERS WERE WORSE THAN BRITISH. MITCHELL TO REPORT. Olds, WWtmaii & Katn TAOOMA, Nov. 30. (Special.) The led ger, -which has espoused the cause of John L. Wilson, this morning published the following statement from Mr. Wilson relative to the agreement between him and Senator Foster, by which certain votes were turned to the support of the latter-named gentleman in 1899, resulting In his election over Mr. AnkenyMo the United States Senate: "Some of the newspapers of the state have seen lit to comment upon what thev ar nlensed to term the 'Wilson- Foster agreement in the Senatorial elec tlon of 1S99. By implication they sugr trest that there was something in the un published portions of that agreement that In some manner reflected upon my honor and Integrity. I desire to state to the public that not one dollar was paid, either for expenses or otherwise, to me or 10 anyone reorescntlnsr me. for the votes given by my friends to the election of Senator Foster; neither did senator os tor. nor anyone representing him, pay, or offer to pav. one dollar for the influence of my friends voting for him in that elec tlon. This can be substantiated at any time by Hon. James Wlckersham, of Ta coma. or Hon. W. H. Ludden, of Spo kane, who were present at all the pre-! lmlnary conferences. No Doable Dealing:. "The further statement made that after the agreement was signed It was -shown to the King County delegation lh order to whip them into support of me. Is not true. The King County delegation never saw the agreement enterdd Into between Senator Foster and his friends and Sen ator Wilson and his friends. What did happen was that before any agreement was signed, but not before 50 Republi cans had signed a paper to suoport Mr. Foster, Senator Hemrich came to my room and asked if such an agreement had been entered Into. I said 'Yes,' and he asked If he- could, see the same. I told him 'No.' "He then said: 'Will you not trust to mv honor?' "I replied: 'Placing it that way. Sena tor, you may see the paper.' "He then requested me to permit it to be taken to the King County delega tion. I declined. Then Judge Mount, now on the Supreme Bench, said he would go with them and let them see It, which he did, and returned in a short time. Judge Mount bad no instructions from me, nor were any necessary. He went to accommodate his friend and colleague, 3enator Hemrich. No attempt, so far as I know, in any way or manner was made to coerce King County. Its representa tives simply desired to know the situa tion, and so far as I, or any of my friends, were concerned, there was no objection to laying It before them. Otber Provisions of Agreement. "Much comment "has been made upon the fact that the remaining portions of the signed agreement have not been pub lished. When the fifth article was pub lished" in the Tacoma Ledger, the re- malnlng six, with the possible exception Df one, had, with the years that .had passed since they were framed, become obsolete. That one provided that our of fensive and defensive a llance meant that we should unite to secure the defeat of- Levi Ankeny, which was accompnsnea, and Mr. Foster was elected United States 3enator. The other portions of the much aiscussed agreement provided for the pro tection of the 28 gentlemen voting for him, and that they who were contributing one half to Senator Foster's election should have an equal voice in the patronage of the state; that in King County my friends should be fully consulted; that If Spo kane County presented a candidate for lelegate to the National convention Pierce County should support him; that if the President desired to retain Henry L. Wil son as Minister to Chile there would be no objection; and that, In view of the fact that at a previous time it had been suggested In the event of my non-elec-Mon a place on the Nicaragua Canal Com mission might be obtained, in the event that it shoud be tendered, there should oc no opposition. Faith Kept in Part. "Some of this agreement has been kept, some has not. I do not complain. I know men who enter politics must ex pect to take and give blows. I know ihat there is much to lament In the .-ouKhness bf politics. In a career of 10 vears In publlo life in this state I am rlad to think myself that I was able to lo many acts of kindness, and, from the !act of our being a new state, contribute rery much through needed legislation to ts growth and development, and no com uunlty has less to complain of than ther jeople of King County and Seattle. When ihe animosities created by long battling or political supremacy have passed away, irfd a careful analysis made, I think Pu- ?ct Sound will be willing to do me that justice to which my labors In its behalf entitle me. "Above all and beyond all, I wish It listlnctly and emphatically understood .hat at no time, either In elections or n a Senatorial contest, did I ever offer h dollar forla vote, nor at any time did r nrcmise an - office to secure a vote, I have fought always a fair fight and, vin.or lose. I shall riot do otherwise. "In, the contest that is to take place n January at Olympla, I shall do noth ntr that Is not alike honorable to the -oeonlfi of this state, to the Republican jarty and to myself. To whatever judg nerit the people of this state see fit to -iass upon my public actions and career i cheerfully svbrr-it. I ask only tne com non -Justice of freedom' from attack upon nv nersonal character and motives, and specially of suspicion of sympathy or .nnnc-o.tlon with that contaminating innu nee in politics against wheh my whole -mblic life has been a protest I will lever be a party to the Montanaizlng of his state."

That is the keynote of the Boer General Dewet's book, entitled 'Three Years' War," published by Archi bald Constabld & Co., In London, ana dedicated by the Boer General to my fellow AUblects of the "British Empire.'

RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS. Some Difftcufty in Arranging Them First in Fall of 1004. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Dr. George R. Parkin, the commissioner who is charged with the distribution of the Cecil Rhodes scholarships In the colonies and the United States, returned today from England on the Cunard steamer Campania. "There are some 200 scholarships to be distributed in the States and colonies." said Dr. Parkin. "I have been at Oxford for several weeks, trying to get the wishes of the Oxford authorities as to the manner of distribution. There are 21 colleges at Oxford, and each wants such scholarships as are awarded it to come under its own peculiar rules of entrance and so forth. Some prefer to have post graduate and others under-graduate scholarships. For the next year I shall be kept busy visiting and consulting with leading educators of the states and col onies as to the best methods of select ing candidates for the- various scholar ships which are allotted to their several districts'. Each of these scholarships car ries with it $1500 a year for three years, and It is an interesting question just what class of men are going to apply for them. The first beneficiaries will go to Oxford In the Fall of 1904, consequently the final awards will be made early In that year." SNOW DEEP IN TEXAS. Wild Animals Are Driven Out and Eat the Sheep. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 30. Snow fell steadily here for several hours today, cov ering the surrounding bills. North, of here In the White .Mountains of New Mexico, snow is four feet deep and wolves and other wild animals have been driven to the valleys of the White Oaks coun try in search of food. The beasts have preyed upon the herds of sheep and losses have been severe. Snowfall in Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. SO. The first snowfall of the season occurred today In Central Pennsylvania. It was wet and melted almost as fast as it fell. In some places the snow fell at the rate of an inch Tin hour. Inch of Snow in Maryland. CUMBERLAND, Nov. 30. More than an Inch of snow covers this section tonight and almost mld-WInter conditions pre vail. All incoming trains are covered with snow. Indicating that the storm Is more than local. ratlve only serves to bring Into strong relief the fiery passages over which a strone man literally bows out soul in pathetic resret or bitter denunciation. In thus taking the public into nis con fidence, Dewet loser nothing of the glamor with which his exploits In the field sur round him. In criticising he spares no one: Boer and Briton come equally under the lash. Dewet declares that, whatever the English people may have to say In discredit of General Buller, he had to operate against stronger positions than any other British General. Throughout the work the Boer General has hut sugnt praise for Lord Roberts and little more for Lord Kitchener. General Knox al most the only British General who seems to have struck Dewet as a commander with real military genius. Of "Tommy Atkins" he has many kind. ly words to say, and he declares: The British were far from being bad shots." The comparative immunity of the Boers from harm, Dewet constantly and most fervently attributes to the Interposition of God. "If any reader," he says, "la anxious to know how it was I kept out of the enemy's hands. I can Instantly answer. although I may not be understood, that I ascribed It to nothing else than this It was not God's will that I should rally to the enemy's hands. Let those who re jolce at my miraculous escapes give all the praise to God." Nevertheless, the book teems with ac counts of military and other stratagems by which Dewet outwitted his pursuers, Frequently he recounts cases of desertion and panic among his own men, to whom his entreaties and "sjamboking" were all of no avail. Dewet pays a tribute to Gen eral Cronje for his bravery, but declares he lost at Paardeburg only on account of. his fatal obstinacy not to leave the laager as he was advised to do by General Botha and by the writer himself. Regarding his own forces, Dewet writes: "It was far easier to fight against the great English army than against treach ery among my own people, and an iron will was required to fight -against both. Once, If only our orders had been car ried out a little more strictly and If only the most elementary rules of strategy had been observed in our efforts to break the. British lines of communication. Lord Rob. erts and his -thousands of troops would have found themselves shut up In Pre toria, where they would have perished of hunger. It was not the skill of their com mander-in-chief that saved them." Of thd blockhouses, Dewet ia frankly contemptuous. "Tne blockhouse policy, he says, "might equally "well have been called the policy of the blockhead. The writer emphatically defends the right to blow up railroad lines and trains as the usage of war, and he declares he never missed an opportunity to do. so, The so-called war against women and the misuse of the whlto flag by the British is denounced by the Boer General, who says "That such direct and indirect .murders have been committed against defenseless .women and children is a thing I should nave staxea my neaa couia never nave happened In a war waged by the civ ilized English nation, and yet, it hap pened." His' last word Is an injunction to his fellow countrymen to be loyal to the new government. "Loyalty,." he says, "pays best In the end, and loyalty alone Is worthy of a .nation which has shed its blood for freedom, The book contains a magnificent por trait of the author by the American painter John S.

LOOKING FOR BOER GOLD. British Trying to Find That Which. Was Sent to Europe. BERLIN, Nov. 30.

The Southern'Paciflo will also put the new system Into effect at the same time. It is a move that Includes .all the Harri mah lines. The details of the plan will be; announced, some time this month; It 13 somewhat like the plans that are In effect on the Pennsylvania, the Chicago & Northwestern and the Illinois Central Railroads. President Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania Railroad, lxfhls last annual .report made reierence as ioiiows to tne pension or relief department of his road: "The total receipts of the employes" voluntary, relief department for the year were 51.17C.205 ,17, which, with 5377,33105, the balance on1 hand at the- beginning of the year, maae an aggregate or i,ood,- 537 22, out of which 5376,274 18 was distrib uted as death benefits, and 5590,362 11 In cases of disability arising from sickness and accident After meeting Its obliga tions for the year, a balance of 53o,269 4o remained to the credit of the fund. In addition to this balance there Is an ac cumulated surplus of 5751,256 25. The amount of the employes' saving fund at the close of the year was 53.219.90S 22. During the year 229 employes were retired under the pension regulations of the com pany. The amount of allowances paid was 5236,648 02, and the number of pen sioned employes on the rolls 1105. It has been deemed to the interest of the com pany In the administration of the pension department to pursue a liberal policy toward the employes between 6o and 75 years of age who become Incapacitated for active service. This, together with the extension of Its benefits to the Buffalo & Allegheny Valley division, which has be come a part of your system since the de partment was inaugurated, has increased the demands upon the fund, so that a somewhat larger sum will be necessary to meet its requirements. . Your approval will, .therefore, , be asked at the annual meeting for an increase of the. maximum annual appropriation to this fund from 5230.000 to 5300,000." ROBBERS KIL1!, A BOY.
