though there scums no certainty that
Krooiifltit.lt will entirely occupy Bob
crib' attention. The udvance, when it
does occur, will probably be made by
parallel columns alone & broad front.
The movements of tho cavalry force
and part of the infuntry towards Glen
can scarcely be construed as an actual
advance although tliey undoubtedly
point to the imminence of such a step.
Hut only u small part of General Gat
acre's forces have yet arrived At Bloeui-

completed, it is not likely Hoberts will

The latest news from Bloemfontein,
contained in u dispatch published in the

several occasions seemed to be chosen as

New -Yonic, March 29. The World
publishes a long interview with Presi
den. Kruger, under date of Pretoria,
February 7, President Kruger Baid :
"I Bent a message to the World saying
that the losses in a war 'would Btagger
humanity.' The British laughed at me
and said they would only take a month
to conquer us. Did those 030 dead at
Spion Kop and those hundreds who
were killed in other battles please the
British? Are they laughing now?
When you came throngh Loudon did you
see much laughing?"
The correspondent told him of tho
Ecents in front of the London war bul
letin board?, tho weeping relatives and
the sorrowing friends. Mr. Kruger
went on :
'Yes, that is only one tide of the pic
ture. Here we hove tho same Bcenes,
only our casualties are not so great.
Every home in South Africa has been
desolated and the war has only begun.
Wult until the war is ended and those
who will suffer on account of it will be
numbered by the hundreds of thousands.
Did Chamberlain and Milntr aud the
tho captalists who were back of them
think of those things before they drove
us to the wall? Are the tears of widows
and orphans to pay for the gold fields?
"Tell tne Amoricans that I appreciate
their expressions of sympathy, and that
I will Inform my burghers of It. I am
greatly ploasod to hear that committees
have been formod to raise funds lor our
Bed Cross. We ueed medicines and
supplies for our wounded not so much
for our own wounded, but for the many

hands. It makes my heart bleed to see
that they suffer, we cannot help them as

President Kruger said that the Boers
looked for no assistance from any nation.
He declared that the Boers would not
destroy the mines in any event. He
said that beforejjtho war he believed
that the United States would offer to act
nB arbitrator of the differences between
the two'countries, and that he was per
fectly content to accept the decision that
would have been made, but Great Britain
refused to arbitrate.
Itrj'an at Halvm.
Kai.icm. Maarch 29. One of the largest
crowds assembled in Salem for manv
years greeted Col. W. J. Bryan yester
day afternoon. They came Irom the
surrounding country for many miles, the
half of Polk county's population being
reckoned among the number. The ar
rangements were well carried out.
Mrs. Hallie-Parish Hinges opened the
meeting in Marion square with one of her
charming songs and Hon. John A. Jef
frey neatly introduced the distinguished
guest, who spoke for nearly two hours.
There was not much enthusiasm. The
people were considerably disappointed.
From tho published reports tuey nau ex
pected that his voice was liko the
trumpet of doom and could be heard to
the extreme confines of the grounds, but
they found it difficult to hear at any
great distance. Then they were griev
ously disappointed in Mr. Bryan's ap
pearance, which has so much deterior
ated since he was herein 1895 and 1897.
Those who had not personally heard
him before were sorely disappointed in
another way : They came to hear a
statesman and they found only a talking
machine, a sort of graphophone with
only ono sheet to play from. He had
poor success in holding his crowd, which
kept leaving him all the time. His fol
lowers here are not enthusiastic about
the result.

PETITION FILED
WITH ROOT
Asks that Troops Remain in Cocur

People Steuncnbcrg on the Stand
Washington, March 29. The Coeur
d'Alene Investigation opened today with
no outward evidence of the exciting
events of yesterday. Steuncnberg was
again on the stand, with Lentst. con
ducting the cross examination.
The evidence was on unimportant de
tails until Governor Steunenberg was
questioned as to a recent petition from
the Coeur d'Alene district, asking the
eecretary of war to retain the federal
troops there. This petition has not yet
been presented to the federal authorities
and the committee went into executive
session to determine what to do with
the document.
The committee decided in executive
EeBsion to file the petition from the
Coeur d'Alene with the secretary of the
war, and in the meantime it will not be
made public. It is understood to be an
extensive document, bearing about
1500 names, and states in substance
that while people at a distance may re
gard the policy adopted by the governor
and military authorities as harsh, yet
that the signers fully uphold the policy
adopted, and consider it necessary to
overcome the lawlessness and disorder
which, it is stated, has existed for some
time. It reqneets the secretary of war
to continue the guard of troops in the
Coeur d'Alene district.
Steunenberg's examination was re
sumed at the opening session, develop
ing little additional, and at noon the
committee adjourned until 2 o'clock.
