NO FURTHER NEWS OF BOTHA Eotltsb Newspaper Correspondent Just Re turned From Somh Alrka Ttaioks Bocrt Will Soon Q,vt tp tbe Wtr. LONDON, March 4. A dispatch from Kitchener, dated Pretoria, March 4. says: "De Wet was moving on Phllopolls, but was headed by our troops and is now marching on Fauresmlth." CHAGRIN AT DE WET'S ESCAPE. NEW YORK, March 4.-There I still entire absence of official news villi re gard to the rumared negotiations' be tween Botha and Kitchener, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. The Iat;st story goes that the Boer general asked for And obtained per mission to communicate with Mr. Kru ger. The ex-president is said to have again approached the Russian govern ment in reference to the matter and to have once .nor met with a rebuff. There is a venereal tendency to be lieve that Sir Alfred Mtlner's Journey to the Trinsvaal was not unconnected with the report about negotiations. The newspapers do not conceal their chagrin at De Wet's latest escape. How he managed to set over the river in spite of the pursuit of eight or nine Brit ish columns has yet to be explained. END IN TWO MONTHS. NEW YORK. March 4. Frederick Ylllers, ths English newspaper corres pondent, was among the passengers on j th T.ucAnU. which has Just arr'v?d from Liverpool. Until recently he has been at the front !n South Africa. "I think it will all be over i:i an other two month's said VUlers, in speaking of the 3oer war, "although I do not expect my spectacular de nouement of the war. The defensive, which now consists mainly of De Wet, will fizzle out slowly as the men fall away under stress of an entirely chance commissiarat. "Notwithstanding what has been said about the British officer and the 'Tom my' in the war, I tan only say that both have behaved magnificently throughout and I was at the front during all the Important engagements. No one who has not seen the country- can realize the difficulty for an Invading force. I tell you it needs far greater courage to march on repeating rifles behind trenches today than was ever necessary to charge a position in the Franco-German war, for Instance. "In England people have grown rec onciled to the protracted struggle. Al though more :han 200,000 troops are still In the field In South Africa, this sea son in London will be the greatest that the capital has witnessed for many years. Both King Edward and his queen are Immensely popular and the court will be the gayest in Europe when the time of mourning is over." Mr. Villers started for Montreal last night. MRS. NATION COMMENDED. Episcopal Rector Thinks Her Case Is Like That of Man Who Kills Murderous Burglar. NEW YORK. March 4. How Mrs. Nation's work should be considered in relation to law, was discussed by the Rev. Dr. Meyers in the Episcopal church, Brooklyn, last night. He said In part: "Mrs. Nation lives in Kansas and the laws of Kansas are not the laws of New York. The people have entered into a holy compait. They have agreed ANAEMIA Pale, thin, weak, run-down, low spirits, no appetite.

The saloon defies that righteous law and tramples It be neath Its hardened sole (or soul) oi mockery. "New York inhabitants have made another kind of agreement and saloon and their vsultant vice and crime and death have been made legal.

Controversy Between House and SpMker Resolution Was Offered Declaring His IMsitlon Vacant. In BOISE. March 4. Then? came near being a summary removal today of Speaker ("Henri McKinley, of the house. An effort was made by the fusion min ority to change the rules to give them greater power In passing some meas ures of a political character, particu larly t'ie reapportionment bill. The rules of the house provide that they cannot S. j:nendM excepting by a two-thirds vote. The speaker an nounce.l that he would hold that a ma jority was sufficient. When a motion was made to chance the rules it was defeated by 22 to The speaker refused to announce the vote. He declared that tne regular or der of business should proceed and that he would announce the vote when he was realy. Sweetz-r, a Republican, offered a resolution declaring the position of speaker vacant n I providing for the election cf some one else. There were seconds from all parts of the house.

LOUISVILLE. Ky., March 4. Tom Ryan, cf Syracuse, tonight was given the decision ever Tommy West, of Brooklyn, after seventeen rounds. West's seconds ihrw up the sponge. The fight was th- bbxdiest and most d-sp-.-rate ev-r s-ea in Louisville. In the seventh Ryan's lip was split and West's nose brok-n, his right eye clos ed, his forehead lai 1 open in two places and hi eh--k split.

They are too near to justify recital. Some of thf-m were unfore seen; many of them momentous and far reachins in their consequences to our selves and our relations with the rest of the world. The part which the t'nited States bore so honorably in the thrilling scenes in China, while new to American life, has been in harmony with its true spirit and best traditions, and In dealing with the results its pol icy will be that of moderation and fair ness. "We face at this moment a most im portant question that of the future re lations of the United States and Cuba. With our near neighbors we must re main close friends. The declaration of the purposes of this government in the resolution of April 20, 1898, must be made good. Ever sine the evacuation of the Island by the army of Spain tbe executive with all practicable speed has been assisting its people by auccetislve rtepa necessary to the establishment of a five and Independent, government prv- iwred to assume ami perform th ob ligation of International law which now rest upm the U:iltl States under the trcatv of Paris. The convention elected hv the oeonle to frame a constitution Is appro idling the completion of Its la bors. "The transfer of American control to the new government Is of such Import ance, involving an obligation resulting from our Intervention and the treaty of peace, that 1 am glad to be advised by the recent net of congress of the policy which the legislative branch of the government deems essential to the best Interests of Cuba and the I'nited States. The principles which led to our Inter vention requlr? that the fundamental law upon which the new government rests should be adapted to secure a govern ment capable of performing the duties and discharging the functions of a sep arate nation, of observing its Inter national obligations, of protecting life and property. Insuring order, safely and liberty and conforming to the estab lished and historical policy of the Cnited States In Its relation to Cuba. "The peace which we are pledged to leave to the Cub.in veople must carry with it the guarantee of permanence. We become sponsors for the pacification i.f the Island and we remain accounta ble to the Cubans, no loss than to our wn country and people. for the re-eon- structlon of Cuba ns a free common wealth on abiding foundations of right. justice, liberty and assured order. Our nfranchisement of the people will not be completed until free Cuba shall 'b- a reality, not a name; a perfect entity. not a hasty experiment bearing within tself the elements of failure.' While the treaty of peace with Spain wis ratllied on the sixth of Feb ruary, lv.9. and ratifications were x- hanged nearly two years ago, the congr -ss has indicated no form of g'v- r.vtnent for the Philippine islands. It has, however, provided an armv to en able the executive to suppress insur rections, restore peace, give security to the inhabitants, and establish the au thority of the I'nited States throughout the archipelago. It has authorized the organization of native troops as auxil iary to the regular force. It has bvn advise 1 from time to time of the .a N j Of the military and naval officers r J th islands, of my action in appointing civil commissions, of the instructions with which they were charged, of their duties and powers, of their recom mendations, and of the several acts under executive commission togeth -r with the very complete Information they have submitted. These reports fully set forth the conditions in the islands ar-d the instructions clearly show the principles which will guide the exec utive until congress shall, as it Is re quired to do by the treaty, determine the 'civil rights .-.id political status of the native inhabitants.' "The congress having added th san ction of its authority to the powers al ready possessed and exercised by ;he executive under the constitution, there by leaving with the executive the re sponsibility for the government of the Philippines. I shall continue the ef forts already taken until order shall be restored throughout the Islands and as fast a3 conditions permit will estab lish local governments, in the formation of which the full co-operation of the neonle has been already Invited, and when established encourage the people to administer them. The settled purpose long ago pre vailed, to afford the Inhabitants of the islands self-government as fast as they are ready for It, will be pursued with earnestness and fidelity. Already some thing has been accomplished in this di rection. The government's representa lives, civil and military, are doing faithful and noble work in their mis sion of emancipation, and merit the approval and support of their country- l ECZEMA'S ITOH IS TORTURE. Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the lie in and producing great redness and in flammation : little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales of! ; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a torment. ug, stubborn disease, tnd the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable ; the acid burning bumor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter nal applications do any real good, for at long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. BAD FORM OF TETTER.
