British Far That Another Great War
May Coma In South Africa.
Pretoria, May 85. Tb garrison her
ha been ordered to prepare to take th
field, and it I understood that similar
order have been tent to every com
mandant oi British troop In South
Africa The situation In Natal I
growing more and more serious daily
and advice received from th troop
that are operating against Ban) beta
show that he Is receiving reinforce
ment from nearly every tribe in Zulu-land.
Arms and ammunition are also being
sent to him, and all effort o( the colo
nial authorities to put a (top to this
traffic have proved futile. Zulu spies
are everywhere and are apparently able
to keep the leader posted a to Held
plan, as no sooner Is a trap set lor the
rebels than they escape (rout it. Tbey
have also captured several convoy.
Tb fact that the colonial troop nave
been unable to make any headway
against the rebels, and that British
regulars are to-be called on, indicate
bow serious the situation is, Th
authorities are hardly In a position at
present to enter Into a great .ulu war,
and it ia understood that tbey will bend
every effort to crush-Bambaial within
tha next few days. All the regular
troops that can be spared are to take
the field against him, while tbe colo
nials will act with them and will also
try to prevent any other Zulu tribes
from reaching Bambata until no can De
crushed.

Favored Merchants Testify Against
Burlington Road.
Kansas City, May 25. Testimony of
unusual interest was brought out this
afternoon in the United State court in
the trial of George H. Crosby, traffic
manager of the Burlington railway;
George L. Thomas, of New York, a
freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his
clerk, on a charge of conspiracy in re
bating railroad rates.
The principal witnesses were ueorge
A. Barton, ot Barton Brothers' Shoe
Company; George W.Taylor, of Robert
Keith Furniture Company; w
Freyschlag. of the Freyschlag Mercan
tile Company, all of this city, and
Walter Kelby, of Jiew ork, clert In
1904 and If 05 for Thomas.
The testimony showed that the firms
mentioned received large sums of
money from mysterious sources after
freight bills had been paid ; sometimes
in express packages, always from New
York, but sone knew who sent It. Un
the stand Freyschlag frankly referred
to an agreement with Thorns whereby
his firm was to receive 25 per cent re
bate on freight bills, and told bow tbe
money was deposited iu New York to
toe firm' credit by one Jackscn, whom
he did not know.
He could not remember whether he
or Tbomaa had suggested the use ol the
name. At first he said that tbe idea
was his, but on cross-examination he
changed and said that be could not re
member. He admitted that tbe name
was nsed to hide "this business," a
term all tbe witnesses today employed

New York Life Company Money Ap
propriated Openly and Avowedly
for Campaign Purposes.
New York, May S6. Th appellate
division ot the Supreme court today
handed down a decision discharging
from custody George W. Perkina, whom
th Supreme court had held to await
action ol th grand Jury on a charge ot
grand larceny In connection with th
campaign contribution ot th New
York Life Insurance company to th
Republican national committee.
District Attorney Jerome, upon
hearing the court' decision discharg
ing Mr. Perkins, aald:
I shall appeal thla case to th court
ol appeal and get a drolstonthar."
Justice Mcutugniin, wno wrote the
prevailing opinion, said:
It the facta set out in the deposi
tion upon which th warrant her was
Issued he construed In the most liberal
way consistent with a judtslal deter
mination, I am ot the opinion that such
facts do not establish tbat tbe crime ol
grand larceny baa been committed, aa
the same ia defined by the penal code.
Th defendant had right to give ol
hi own fund to the chairman ol th
Republican national committee. Th
relator made the contribution at the
request ol the president ol tbe Insur
ance company with the express under
standing that it would repay him. Tb
money belonging to the Insurance com
pany waa appropriated openly and
avowedly by the relator, alter all the
facia had been stated to th finance
committee, to reimburse him lot tbe
money which he had previously advanced."
Justice Patterson, while agreeing
that Mr. Perkins cannot he lound
guilty ot larceny, said that he may be
cotnpe led by a civil action to make
restitution, inasmuch as the officer of
the company bad no power to make tb
contribution. Justice Ingraham says it
must be understood the court is not
now concerned with the civil responsi
bility ol Mr. Perkins ,to the company.
Me continues:
'It was McCall who appropriated
the money ot the corporation, and the
officer or employe ot the company,
who obeyed hi direction In making
that payment, Without Intent to do
more than carry ont the inatiuctiona of
tbe president of the corporation, were
not, aa I view .it, responsible tor the
act."
Justice McLaughlin says:
"It cannot be said that Mr. Perkina
did not bave a moral claim, even
though, owing to the fact tbat the pres
ident doubtless exceeded his authority,
he may have bad no legal claim for
reimbursement."
