by Sir Alfred In his reply to tho Afrikander
deputation sent to him by tho Afrikander
congress at Worcester with a resolution
addressed to Queen Victoria.
"Tho governor hns no Intention," says
the, colonial secretary, "of changing tho
policy which It has repeatedly declared and
which has been approved overwhelmingly
by the empire."
Tho military authorities hero have been
authorized by Mr. Chamberlain to destroy
great quantities of hay lying near the.
docks, which hns become Infested with rats.
Tho mayor of tho peninsula, at a meet
ing called to devise Joint prevention
schemes, adopted a resolution calling mi
the government to provide camps for tho

(liven Wnrnlnir of the I'liiKiie.

NEEDS THE REINFORCEMENTS
Development Show that Kitchener
Will llnvr .None Too
Mnny .Men.
NEW YOUK, Feb. 11. A dispatch to tho
Trlbunti from London says: Tho dispatch
which was Issued yesterday by the War
office goes a long way to prove that the big
reinforcement of 30,000 mounted men now
under orders for tho Cape In really essential
to. the fulfillment of Kitchener's task. An
(Bgagrment jn which the attacking force.
numbers 2,000 Doers and which results In a(
least twenty-four men being killed cannot
be considered a mere guerrilla action. No
body nowaday affects to believe that the
South African war Is virtually over, and It
Is quite evident a general surrender of tho
Hoer forces Is not likely to lake place for
Homo time to come. Wbllo Louis llotlia
failed In his attack on Smlth-Dorrlcn's
camp, ho appears to hnvc Inflicted sufficient
loss on the Drltlsh forces to prevent tho
repulse being turned Into n serious defeat.
The Iloers everywhere seem to bo display
ing Increased audacity and peaco proposals
aro not likely to meet with a cordial recep
tion as long as the present bitter feeling
between the Iloers and Ilrltons In South
Africa lasts.
In view of this unsatisfactory state, of
affairs the pronouncement on the subject by
tho king's speech to Parliament Is awaited
by the country with the greatest Interest.
Meantime nothing would delight English
men so much as to hear thnt Dewet's per
sistent attempts to gain n footing In Cape
Colony bad resulted In his capture. Already
Irresponsible people are beginning to advise
tbe military authorities what they should do
with htm, and ono Influential newspaper
suggests, in tho event of his being caught
alive, that ho should be tried for murder.

tho Wells mm as to the advisability of
opening tho back door of tho polling plnce.
Ono claimed thnt the other had a host of
heelers In waiting and If tho back door wore
open theso men would prest In to causo
confusion nnd prevent their opponents from
voting. Tho Noonnn crowd claimed that
both tho other factions wero Jockeying to
prevont any voting whatever, because, they
said, tho ward wns overwhelmingly for

no voting was done. That was tho sltuutlon
up to the tlmo of tho riot-

ono or two revolvers. Judgo John J. Kynn

Cnll for a Cnnuu.
A ropubllcan renotorlal caucus will lm
held tomorrow night. This has been deter
mined by tho signatures of more than slx-
ty-scven repumicun members In tho follow
ing caucus call:
We, thn undersigned members of the Ne
braska atato legislature, hereby obligate
ourselves to enter and abldo by a repub
lican senatorial caucus to be held on the
call of tho speaker of tb house on reason
able notice and as ;iocti as way be after this
agroemnnt is maa effective. Thts agree
ment Is based on tho following terras and
conditions, towlt:
"One This ngreement shall bo effective
on Its receiving the signatures of sixty-
seven repuDiican members of tho legisla
ture. "Two Fifty votes shall be required to
nomlnoto any candidate for United States
sonntc or to adopt any additional rules for
tbo caucus.
"Three All nominations Hhnll bo mado
by viva voco vote on roll call.
"Four Nn nomination for United States
senator shall bo effective until two candi
dates shall have been duly nominated on
tho same roll call,
"Five Only republicans of unquestioned
loyalty shall he eligible to nomination for
United States senator nt said caucus."
Senrn Make the Announcement.
Speaker Bears tuado the announcement
nbout 7 o'clock this evening in tho lobby
of tho hotel that tho requlslto number had
Blgned tho call nnd that tho caucus would
be held pursuant to It. This announce
ment wns received with applauso that re
echoed through tho hotel. The acceptance
of this call by tho adherents of all of tho
various candidates was dccldod only todny,
although It wub foreshadowed In Tho Bee's
dispatches of yeBterday.
Tho caucus cnll Is what is known a tho
Whltmoro call, formulated nearly two
weeks ago by Senator Olson nud Repre
sentative Whltinorc. It embodies the sig
nificant feature requiring a simultaneous
nomination, on which Mr. npsowater han
insisted from tho first. The accoptanco of
this plan for Hlmultancous nominations
concedes tho chief point for wbleh ihn
Douglas delegation has been holding out.
On the other hnnd, tho call requires fifty
to nominate, which Is higher than was sat
isfactory to tho majority of tho candldatcn
when tho session flrst opened. The chief
objection to It from the standpoint of Mr.
Thompson's followers la thn last clauie. re
lating to republicans of unquestioned loy
nlty, which they say Is Intended to servo
as a mental reservation for tho radical
antl-Thompsonltes,
SlKimture Came ()nlnUly.
Tho call was finally signed up In remark-
ably short time. It had securod twenty
signatures when first formulated, but had
not since been circulated, resting in tho
custody of Hepresoutativo Mead. About
noon notice was given that Mr. Thompson's
friends wuro considering tho ndvlsnblllty
of signing tho Whltmoro call, At 4 o'clock
tho paper with the twenty signatures w
placed In Speaker Sears' hands and carried
by him to a conference of the members, who
had signed tho other calls. A decision wus
quickly reached to sign up this cnll and
by 7 o'clock sixty-eight slgunturns had been
attached. This was raUed to seventy
shortly aftcrwaids and Speaker Hears ex-
presBeii confidence that It would bo signed
by evpry republican member by morning.
The announcement thnt tho cnll hnd been
signed naturally precipitated ronslderahlo
oxcltemont nround tha hotel lobbies, every
ono evincing satisfaction that a caucus was
tn sight, and expressing tho hopo that it
would soon looso the deadlock, Represent
ntlvo McCarthy, who speaks for what aro
termed tho radicals, said thnt ho was sat
isfied to havo tho other members como to
his terms and that he would enter tho
caucus as he ngreed. When asked who
was to detormluo the application of tha
last clause, he replied: "Everyone for
himself, I do not see how any one can pa 13
on that question for us."
Senator Steele, who la another of th
radicals, expressed similar sentlmonta and
It Is possible that somo contention may rlsa
over It, though not llkoly sufficient to pro
duco dlsagreeablo friction.
