LONDON. Jan. 17. Tlio Important report
received from Johannesburg that Ocneral

true, probably means Iho concentration of
7,000 Doers with several guns for another

on attack upon the mines. It has been long
understood that General Dowet hns been

ony and thla rumor may bo spread to cover
an attempt to break southward.
It Is said the Doers In several Instances
havo worn khaki. A government notice
has been promulgated In I'rctorla prohibit
ing civilians from wearing khnkl and no
tifying nil persons who wear this costume,
which Is likely to bo mistaken for the
British uniform, that they will render

According to the Capetown correspond

A unique feature of Kitchener's fighting

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1C Senator Perkins
of California mado another argument beforo
the senate committee on foreign relations
today in opposition to tho Jamaican re
ciprocity treaty. Ho took tho ground that
If ratified It would work great Injuries to
tho ngricultur.il and sugnr Industries of
tbo south and of California.
"Tens of millions of dollars Invested In
ornuge orchards, beet sugar mills, plncrjcs
nnd truck gardens of California and tho
southern states would," hu said, "have
their prollts practically extinguished. Cali
fornia would bo tho greatest sufferer, but
not tho only ouc."
Ho said tho treaty gives tho United
Stutes no benefits lu return for reductions
on tho most Important productions of Ja
maica. Ho pointed out that two now thrift's
havo been promulgated In Jamaica, each
successively Increasing tho duties on Amer
ican goods Imported Into that Island. Of
theso tariffs, ho mid, eighty articles had
been taken from tho freo list nnd placed
under n duty of Hi 2-3 per cent ad valorem.
In conclusion, Mr. Perkins said thoro ap
parently was an excess of $11,322 In the
benefits to the United States, but If that
sum was an object to tho United States he
would rather make It good out of his own
pocket than havo the treaty ratified.
Mr. Knsson made nn argument In sup

NEW YORK, Jan. 1G. In connection with
dispatches from Washington, telling of
tho seizure by Venezuela of two steamships,
tho West Indies and Panama Cablo com
pany Inst night mado a significant an
nouncement. It rent out advices that mes
sages to Carapano, Port Lamar, Cum
anagunnta, llarltona and Cludad Dollvar.
Venezuela, would bo taken subject to delay
and censorship. Tho censorship undoubt
edly Is n military measure.
Cludad Dollvar Is on tho lower Orinoco
river nnd Is tho principal city In tho stato
of Llvar. Darltona and Carnpano ore Im
portant seaports on tho north coast In tho
stnto of Ilermudez All of tho places aro
far to tho east of the region In which
recently tho rebels were defeated. As tho
forces of l'crnza were driven westwurd, the
revolutionary movement, which Is given ns
tho reaFon for tho seizure of the steamers,
Is probably a now one.
An explanation of tho troublo may bo
found In tbo fact that former President
Andrndo was In San Juan, Porto Rico,
recently, planning to go to Venezuela to
lead tho rebels. Ho haB been strong In tho
cast nnd may have cnused a rising that
compelled tho Crespo government to adopt
cxtremo measures.

Tho populist stato commltteo mot at tho
Grand hotel In this city this afternoon and
uguln tonight and held two stormy sessions.
Abide from passing resolutions expressing
sympathy for tho Doem nnd throwing bou
quels nt their records they did little else
than talk of tlio .shortage In tho campaign
fund and many charges arid counter
charges wcro made. Secretary Porter
charged that moro than $2,000 bad been paid
to Chairman Kdmlstcn which had never
been reported to tho treasurer and had
nover been uccountcd for and he believed
something should bo done, about It. Chair
man Fdmlsten replied and said that such n
slander from n stnto oltlclal with a record
such ns Porter's wns not humiliating.
IJveryouo presont had a sarcastic nnd
stinging speech to mako for ono sldo or the
other anil It miu about tho liveliest time
over experienced by tho popullflta of Nc
braski. Somo wanted to make the, chair
man nnd executive commltteo settle and
thoso on tho sldo of Chairman Kdmlsten
wanted tho counties and fellows holding
lucrative Jobs, Including the legislators, to
make up tho deficiency, which, by ouly pay
ing labor, rent, telephone and hotel bills
and letting tho balance go by default, could
bo donu with about $1,600.
The committee remained In session until
long past midnight nnd finally agreed to ap
point u committed from each congressional
district to net with tho executive commltteo
and carefully .audit the receipts nnd 1 Is
bursements of tbo committee. This com
mitten will meet next Wednesday for this
purpose. Thero wcro man hard names
railed during the second meeting and tho

scries of receptions by different civic or

the Invitation of tho Arkansas legislature
nnd addressed the house and senate In

he said:
"The geographical position of that beau
tiful Islund Is such Hint the United States!
must ntways keep some sort of supervision
over It. Any hostile power holding Cuba
could shut up tho Gulf of Mexico. If tho
United States withdraws Its troops nnd
complaint should go to Kngland that l'.ng

LINCOLN. Jan. lfi. (Special.) The Joint
session today with thu Kocond ballot on
United States senntor did tiot disclose so
many boqucts as yesterday, but tho wny
tho flowers wcro scattered showed that tho
complimentary season was still on. Two
new natn'.s appear on the list, II. O. Lind
say, chairman of the republican state com
mittee, und Captain George Sheldon of Cass
county. Of course all tho leaders exhibited
growth Indicating n universal belief In tho
policy of expansion, at least In tholr own
columns, and at the same time detracting
irom me higntticanco of tho vote.
Among tho republicans, U. U. Thomnion
comes tlrst with thlrty-ono votes, an lo-
rcaso of seven over his Initial showlnc.
Tho nearest South Platte competitor la Hln-
naw, with olxtcen votes, and then Halner.
with Ave. Tho North Platte men are moro
closely bunched. Meiklejohn leading with
twenty-six, followed by Currlo with twenty,
iiosowntcr with lourtcon and Crounso with
ten.
One Jlorc Itcptibllc nu Vole.
The seating of Johnson by the, donate
added one moro vote to tie republican '
majority, tho additional voto helng recorded
for Rosowntcr nnd Thompfoti. Mr. Rose
water's second accession camo from Senator
Owens, who Is also enlisted ns one of tho
supporters of Currle. Senator Raldrlgo
got up out of n Blck bed to bo recorded
today, but will probably bo tinablo to bo
iresont tomorrow. Tho growth of tho oilier
candidates Is chlofly tho expected accretion
resulting from tho drop lu tho complimen
tary column.
As lo thu fuslonlsts, they carried out their
program to center their votes on Senator
Allen as tho populist and on tho democrat
who allowed the most strength In tho freo-'
for-nll of tho tlrst dny. This gave tho
votes for tho abort term to Allen and for
tho long term to W. H. Thompson, with
tho exception of Taylor of Custer, who hroko
away far enough to Bend ono of li In votes
that belonged to Allen to Congressman
Sutherland. Under tho agreed nrranuo-
mcnt, the fusion voto for tho long term Is
to go solidly to Hitchcock tomorrow nnd
then to nlternato between him and Thomp-
Bon on succcsstvo ballots.
Although tho Joint session drew a largo
attcmlunco to tho galleries and tbo floor
In apparent expectnncy, tho proceedings
wcro qf a decidedly monotonous character.
Tho rules to govern the Joint session wero
ndoptcil as prepared by tho special com
mit ca without dissent, Including tho roll
call for simultaneous voting. Tho cnlllng
of the nnmes nnd tho responses followed,
a new roll having been prepared with all
tho names of both senato nnd houso ar
ranged in alphabetical order.
I'orty-t:iiclit lo Nominate.
A new cnucus paper was started tonlRht
by tho Thompson followers, conditioned
on slxty-sevon signatures with forty-oight
to nominnto and other rules to bo de
termined by tho cnurus.
Outslilo uf tho legislative halls tho chief
activity lies In tho pulling und hauling for
and against D. K. Thompson. Mr. Thomp
son's friends nro busy, but so nro his ene
mies, tho latter making no attempt nt
masking their efforts. An Inundation of the
members haB begun with lottors and tolo
grams and petitions nro coming In from
vnrioiiB counties protesting against their
rcpresentntlvcH lining up for Thompson.
Ono mrmbor from nn upper county wan Just
on tho point ot nnsworlng to tho roll coll
when a messenger boy handed him fivo tele
grams from homo as reminders not to voto
for Thompson nnd ho quickly decided nit
to trnnster his votes yet from the compli
mentary rhelves on which they were rest
ing. "I think they nro starting a ehaln-Iotter
machine on mo up In my county," Senator
Voiiliosklrk was overheard to remark. "And
It Isn't so much whnt they want ns what
they don't want that seems to ngltutn
them. Hut you know I havo n pretty big
district nnd ono corner of It Is traversed by
the Durllngton whllo nil tho rest of It is
tributary to other ronds. I don't know
whether all theso letters nnd telegrams aro
spontaneous or not."
On tho other hand It Is unconcenled that
tho Thompson end of It 1b energetically nt
work to create sentiment In favor of their
candidate by bringing In delegations as well
ns by letters und petitions.
"Tho troublo with us," exclaimed nn
nntl-Thompson man from a Flrnt district
county, "Is that tho people who are against
Thompson nro Just tho people who cannot
get freo rides nnd cannot afford to pay
railroad faro. They aro busy at homo and
haven't tlmo to spend two or three days to
comu up to Lincoln nnd reinforce their
sentiments."
"Somo of those fellows," chimed In an
other, "aro canting ballots for men tholr
constituents never heard of, much less en
dorsed. I know they aro doing It to rover
up tholr tracks and lead around to the.
bnck door of tho Thompson ramp which
they would not caro to enlor by tho front
gato In full view of tho public, That's tho
only construction to bo put upon these
eleventh-hour booms for men who have
never figured In state polities and vnouIiI,
have to be introduced to every public man
