Doors met In battlo again yesterday. A
special dispatch to tho World's London
bureau from II. F. Provosl-Pnttorsby, tho
World's war correspondent with Lord Rob

"LOUD RORERTS' HEADQUARTERS,
Osfontcln, Ornugo Freo State, March 4.
Major Uoncral French, commanding tho cav

shots with them, tho Doors replying with
guns."
Thu dispatch Is unfinished and has been

northwest to Jamestown. Ocnoral Ilrabant
lind marched all night and bivouacked to
ward morning. Soon nftor daylight ho
camo In touch with tho Doers, who had a
Btrongly Intrenched position. The engage
ment was pushed with great vigor. A
heavy rlllo lire was exchanged, particularly
on tho right flank.
Tho Doers gradually retired brforo tho
Drltlsh shell flro and evacuated their po
sition. Tho Doctb had no guns In actkM
and tho Drltlsh wcro noon nble. to press
forward and tnko up their position In the
Doer trenches. The Doers, undaunted, took
up new positions on tho hill opposite, and
during tho nftcrnoon brought up two guns
nnd madn a determined effort to rctako tho
position they had lost.
Opinion of it War Expert.
Tho Post expert says: "Roberts ro
turned to Oafonteln Friday afternoon. At
that time. C,000 or 6,000 Doers wero In posi
tion. It tho Doers have not made a hasty
retreat the next news may bo that they aro
Burrounded."
Tho export thinks tho movements of tho
Drltlsh In north Cape Colony nro advancing
well oxcept Catacro. Ho believes tho Doers
nro all out of tho Rcnsburg district nnd
that Drabant Is threatening them In front
and rear In tho Hordrclst country. Ho
thlnkn Gntacro can hold tho Doers at Stock
strom, but criticises tbo nets of rcconnals
onco In forco without result when scouts'
patrol cculd get all necessary Information.
Ho goes on to say:
"Mothuen has not been Bent to Kimber

ing. Wo may next hear tho railway la open
to Fourteen Strcoms, which la only 170 miles
from Mafoklng, whero all was well Febru
ary 13. A Doer telegram shows that tho
Door forco from Ladysmlth has retreated
behind Illggarsberg. Tho Doers have no
chanco of collecting moro than 40,000 men
for a decisive battlo In tho Freo Stato ex

Roberts Is not waiting at Osfontcln to tnako

for .Mayor.
The nrriat of W. O. Gilbert, chairman of
the democratic committee, on tho charge of
criminally libeling Edward Rosewatcr,
editor of Tho Omaha Dec, by causing to bo
published In tho World-Herald n charge
that Mr. Rosowatcr was engaged lu Im
porting voters from Iowa nnd other places
for tho purposo of voting them fraudulently
nt Tiifwdaj's election, hao caused consterna
tion In tho camp of tho fusion conspirators,
who havo hatched out a plot "to get even."
Roalfzlng that they had waked up tho
wrong passenger they hnvo been at their
wits' end slnco Saturday morning to work
up n counter coup In the hope of offsetting
tho reaction that has taken place among
tho respectable and thinking people who
havo become utterly disgusted with tho
shamolccB, mendacious nnd mudsllnglng
campaign waged In behalf of the silk-stock
ing candldato and his associates on tho
fusion ticket by tho World-Herald.
Lato Sunday afternoon tho ponocrntlc con
spirators finally concocted a scheme to havo
eoverol leading republicans connected with
tho campaign arrested this morning on ojmo
trumpod-up charges, based on nlleccd vio
lations of tho election laws.
Complaints havo been prepared nnd sworn
to, so it Is reported, and tho warrants nro
to bo served this mornlnc tbroueh the
sheriff's ofllco.
Peoplo nro warned to lookout for this tor-
rifle political lyddlto shell and bo nrenared
for tho poison that its explosion will Inject
Into tho cnmpnlgn atmosphere with tho hopo
of tho conspirators that nil tho republican !
voters will bo annihilated nt ono Blnclo shot.
Tho mud battery of tho Omaha Fnkery was
got Into perfect trim last night for tho fir
ing of this fatal shell this mornlnc. Tho
conspirators expect to hit Tho Deo building,
mil tho Fakery battery will find It bomb
proof. It Is Inrely possible that somo scal
awags havo been hired to tell a cock nnd bull
story, but before they get through they will J
have a lively tlmo of It.
It Is also reliably reported that Mr. Mor
tens, tho threo-corncrcd candldato for city
treasurer, Is also In tho deal "to givo it" to
Rosewnter. Mr. Mortens, it seems, is somo
whnt broken up over o story that was pub
lished In Tho Deo regarding ono of his mat
rimonial ventures, In which It was stated
that ho neglected to pay for his wedding
suit. It Is now said that ho proposes to
bring Mr. Rosowatcr Into court for nllowlng
Tho Deo to tell tales out of school at nn
untimely dny. Mr. Mortens may find that
his legal suit will not fit him qulto so well
as his unpald-for wedding suit.
FUSI0NISTS HAUL DOWN FLAG

UtiirM and Stripe Floating from
Stuff lit MnorcN' llcalilcncc.
One of tho most outrageous performances
In tho warfaro waged upon Mayor Moorcs by
tho popocratlo crowd was perpetrated Satur
day night when fsomo Pa. plcton vandal
hauled down tho American flag which has
been flying on tho Btaft at Mayor Moores'
residence, and not only toro It to shreds,
but substituted In Its placo an old bnnd
mado piece of red cloth Intended to repre
sent tho Drltlsh flag.
Tho cowards waited until night to do their
work so as to avoid detection, evidently for
tho purposo of Incensing tho peoplo who
would see tho red banner floating from tho '
polo as thoy passed on their way to churcli
Sunday morning. To mako their work
doubly secure tho rope was cut, and tho only
way that tbo rod Hag could bo brought down
was by calling out tho flro department to
rnlso Its ladder and rcmovo It. This was
dono early Sunday morning and n bright now
Hag, with shining stars nnd stripes, which
tho mayor had been keeping for uso on tho
day after election was run up on tho polo
as tho emblem of patriotism nnd loyalty al
ways found flying on tho premises of Slayor
Moores.
Tho, neighbors of tho mayor, without re
gard to politics, wero vehement In their de
nunciation of tho outrage and explained that
thoy had no sympathy with such dirty poll
tics. POPPLETON'S HEBREW FAKE

anil KnlNchooil.
In their frantic efforts to secure votes to
bolster up tho despernto cause of W. S, Pop
ploton his managers havo Issued a circular,
addressed to thu Hebrews In Omaha, in bath
English nnd Hebrew characters, Intended to
poison the Jewish voters against Mayor
Moorcs. Tho circular Is ovor tho names of
four disreputables, such as tho notorious J,
D. Nathanson nnd cx-Councllman Sol Prince,
who attempt to mako out that Moores has
mistreated tho Jows whllo I'opplcton is their
closest friend.
Tho chief point In tho circular Is tho
charge that S. L. Morris, a young man on
tho pollco forco, was discharged by Mayor
Moorcs without any causo. Mr. Morris la
Indignant at tho uso of his name In this
connection, particularly as tho statement Is
entirely false.
"Instead of having nny grlevanco with
Mayor Moorcs," said Mr. Morris yesterday,
"I am under tho greatest obligations to him.
Tho fact Is that I was appointed to tho forco
solely by his efforts. Tho Herdman pollco
board was then In control and when ap
pointing a number of men tho mayor In
sisted upon being allowed to namo ono, and
ho named mo, After I was named tho fusion
members of the board threatened to rescind
the action and I would havo been unablo to
havo qualified had not Victor Rosewater
Jumped In and gono In person on my bond
and had It approved so that I could bo as
signed to duty.
"Mayor Moores had nothing to do with my
dismissal. I was dropped along with six
teen others when tho forco had to bo cut
down, nnd tho mayor was not oven present
nt tho meeting when this notion was taken
When ho heard of it ho was very much put
out becauso the only man ho had over had
put on tbo force under tho Herdman regime
had been dropped.
"I bellovo I am tho only Jew that crer
had a placo on tho forco at all, and owe that
entirely to Mayor Moores. On tho other
baud the fuslontsts appointed any number ot
men, but never gave a position to a Jew,
and tho Jewish people will make a great
mistake It thoy listen to theso appeals to go
back on Moores, who has befriended us moro
than any other man who over occupied the
mayor a office."

Out of I'olltlcN by the
Clillrchen,
Rev. Clydo Clay ClfscJl, pastor of Hanscom
Park Methodist Episcopal rhurch, chose for
thu topic ot his Sunday morning address
"The Rennlssanco of Conscience," choosing
hl text from Isaiah lit, 1: "Awake,
awoke, put on thy strength." In part Rev.
Clssell said:
"Every man lias ono angel to bo his guide
through llfo; to scourge him when ho docs
wrong; to commend him when ho does well.
That angel Is his conscience. Students ot
mind say It Is doubtful If any deed or thought
Is over qultu forgotten. Somo day thero
Is a resurrection and theso forgotten deeds
and thoughts como forth to scourge tho soul
nnd to lcavo their purplo welts full on the
spirit ot tho unheeding man
"Still there Is dnngcr lest our conscience
becomes scared and shackled. Alas, for
that man who has enslaved his conscience;
who no longer feels Its guidance I stnnd
nt tho cell whero that conscience is thus
enslaved nnd I call to tho inner man to loose
It nnd let It bo his guldo forever.
"Tlmro nro thousands of good men who
bollovn that their religion nas no placo In
theJr politics. They vote one way and pray
another. They make mo think of Dr. Jekyl
nmI x,r Hyde. Tho good In them goe3 to
tho churcli to pray, whllo tho bad runs off
to tho polls to voto for every scalawag on
tho ticket. Why Is It that GOO.OOO liquor
men have moro to say In tno political con
ventions of our country than 26,000,000 nom
inal Christians? Tho politicians know that
good men stay with their party while tbo
evil legions know no higher philosophy than
utilitarianism. Self-interest nnd self
preservation aro tho highest laws to thom.
"Men say wo should support tho party
oven If bad men nro the standard-bearers.
That may bo good politics, but It Is bad
religion. When tho Christian men of this
city nwnken their consclenco and declare
llko tho rumscllcrs that no mon who will
not work for their Interests shall havo their
votes, then wo shall bo as much consulted
as nro tho forces of evil in this city to
day. "Dehold tho 2B0 saloon keepers and bar
tenders of this city waiting for tho coming
election day! As they stand, behold ten
votes controlled by tho hand ot each. They
aro united. They arc as ouo man voting on
all tickets for tho men whom they know
they can fully trust. Shall not tho Chris
tian electorate of our city nrouso their con
science; stop apologizing for lncompotent
men and bad men and conscrvo our Inter
ests by voting as they pray for the king
dom of tho conquering Christ?"

DURUQUK, la., (March 4. (Special Tele

eternity this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, sur
rounded by a group, of which Archbishop)
dtynn of Philadelphia wns tho most con
splcuous figure.
dlo arrived this morning and hastened to
his friend's chamber, knelt besldo him and
whispered, "It's your old friend, Arch
bishop iltyan." Thero was no response.
"It's your old friend," he repented. "Youp
old friend, lArchbishop Ryan, has como ta
seo you." '
Dut only n slight movement of tho hcnil
Indicated recognition. As Archbishop ltyan'n
voice ascended, ho and others of tho group)
yielded to their emotions, nnd a sister o
St. Francis pressed tho sacerdotal cross ta
tho dying prelato's lips as tho end camo.
'In March ot last year the urchblshop waa
stricken with partial paralysis of tho brain,
On Fobrunry 15, lost, ho was stricken, nnd
Friday night wns seized with another,
stroke.
Tho funeral will bo held Thursday morn
ing nt 10 o'clock. Archbishop Ryan will
pronounco the eulogy.
iMgr. Ryan will administer the dlocesa
until a successor is appointed. Among thu
candidates for tho vacant archdloccso Illshop
Gcanncll of Omaha, Archbishop Kalue, n
former rector of Washington uulvorslty;
Dlshop Lenahnii of Cheyenne, Dr. John Car
roll, president of St. Joseph's college, Du
buquo, and Mgr. Ryan aro mentioned.
Archbishop John Hcnncsjy was recog
nized ns ono of thu greatest orators and
most profound theologians In tlo Catholic
hierarchy, and because of his zeal In educa
tional matters has been numed "tho apostla
of tho American Catholic parochial school."
His latcflt work In tho causo of education,
was tho founding of n seminary hero do

try. Sinco ho llrst enmo to Dubuquo Arch
bishop Hcnnensy hns eecn tho Cuthollo
church In Iown lucrcaso from momborshlp;
of a few hundred to n quarter of n mllllou.
Ills silver Jubilee was celebrated with
great pomp In 1891. Ho was made arch
bishop on September 17, 1893, Mgr. SatollI,
tli Mi papa! ablegate, and Cardinal Glbbooa
of Daltlmoro conducting tho ceremonies. All
tho American archbishops oxcept one, nearly,
all tho bishops and upwards of 100 priests
and hundreds of leading Catholic laymen
of tho country wero present.
IIIh Knrly TrliilH ami Work.
Ho wns a man of herculean build, a
pulpit orator ot considerable prominence and
a zealous cburchmuti. Ho was barn August
20, 1825. Ills early studies were had at hl3
homo in Limerick, Ireland, graduating at
Carondelct, near St. Loulu In 1SJ0. Junuary
20, 1851, ho was assigned to tho uiIbhIou of
Now Madrid, Mo., which embraced 0,000
square miles, without a mile of railroad.
; often ho was obliged to go 100 milts on a
I sick call, fording rlvcis and penetrating tho
wilderness to reach his destination. Four
months after being aligned to this mission
ho was attacked by what seemed a fatal
' sickness, nnd wns removed to St. Louis. Ha
recovered to becomo pastor of St. Pctcr'a
! church,
Gravols, Mo., twelvo miles from St.;
Louis, whoro ho remained until 1131.
Ho was thon transferred to Cnron
dolet seminary as vice president
nnd professor of dogmatic theology,
and ecclesiastical history. Simultaneously,
tho present Achblshop Feehiwi ot
Chicago becumo president of tho seminary,
and when In 1857 ho obtained a greuter dig
nity, Father Henncssy uucceeded bl in aa
president. In this position ho remained until
1858, when ho wont to Rome ns tho repre
sentative of Archbltriiop Kcnrlck.
Ho remained In tho Eternal City;
ono year, returning to St. Loula

camo pastor of St. Joooph's church nt St.
Joseph, Mo. Hero ho remained six years,
displaying a degree of ability which brought
him to tho attention ot tho hierarchy, and
determined his selection for tho vacant flea
of Dubuquo. Ho wno elected April 21, 18C0,
and was consecrated by Archbishop Kcnrlck
September 30, 1800.
An Kxtrcme Dnirmnt Ut.
Tho scholastic training of tho deceased
nrchblshop made him a dogmatist of tho
oxtromo typo. Ho wns an ultramontnno ot
ultrnmontancs. His reading and excluslvo
ners was not ot a character to produce thoso
tcndcncUci In a Catholic bishop which tbo
American peoplo call "liberal." Ho despised
tho word and tho suggestion It convoyed.
against protests of meiubcru ot tha church.
On that nnd on numerous other occasions
ho mado no concessions to real or nupposcd
public sentiment. Ho could not be persuaded
to ofilclato In public or to hold social iutor
courso with liberal Catholics or thcoo out
sldo of tho church. Thus, when tho lamented
Daniel Dougherty, who had delivered tho
address at tho Catholic centennial, visited
Dubuquo to lecturo boforo tho public, ho do
cllncd to preside, though ho nttended tho
lecture. When tho Protcstnnt ministers ot
Dubuquo organized a society tn dobata
theological, eoclnl and moral questions, nnd
Invited Dlshop Hcnncwy to Join lie politely
refused. "Protestantism la a nullity," aro
tho words ho has ofton uttnred. "The IsaUi
Is between Catholicity and infidelity."
