The earl of Warwick’s eldest son, I/ord Brooke, has volunteered for ser vice in South Africa. London papers, talking o? peace ne gotiations, say there can be nothing but unconditional surrender. Congressman T. E. Burton of Ohio has been nominated by the republicans of the Twenty-first Ohio district.

A considerable portion of the crowd in the barge office in New York the oth er day was made up of Jews, and the majority of these were from Rou manla. The Mosaic Passover is five weeks off and it is expected that after the festival thousands of Roumanian Jews will leave their homes for this country. The remains of Abraham Lincoln have been transferred from the crypt of the national Lincoln monument at Springfield, 111., to a temporary vault just north, the removal being made necessary by the demolition of the monument preparatory to the entire reconstruction on a different plan for which $100,000 was appropriated by the last legislature. The New York commercial organiza tions of this city gave a dinner at. the Waldorf-ABtoria hotel in honor of Governor Roosevelt for his stand in favor of improving the Erie canal. Tho speeches were entirely upon the sub ject of the canal. The chairman, in troducing Governor Roosevelt, pro posed three cheers, which were given, the toast being drunk standing. Some persons shouted “Hurrah for our next president!" Recent negotiations of the American and Continental Tobacco companies to arrange for a consolidation of the lead ing snuff interests of the country aro said to have been practically com pleted, and a new $25,000,000 company will, it is stated, be organized to take over all the snuff business of both the Continental Tobacco and the American Tobacco companies, as well as the At lanta Snuff company and the Helme Snuff company. It is stated by intimate friends of General Harrison that he is chagrined that his name should be so freely used in the newspapers of the country in connection with public questions now under consideration. Efforts to make it appear that he is planning to step forward as an anti-administration leader, with the hope that he may be called on to become a candidate for president, is. it is said, especially dis tasteful to him. Colonel J. S. Culver, of Springfield, •who Is rebuilding the Lincoln monu ment at that place, and who built the Illinois monument of the battlefield of Chickamauga, has written the gov ernor or Indiana, offering without ex pense to the state to erect a substan tial monument at the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of the martyred president, near Spencer, Ind.

The president has nominated Max J. Baher of Nebraska, recently appointed consul at Santos, Brazil, to be consul at Madgeburg, Germany. TROUBLE IS STILL ON Plots Said to Exist at Many Points in the Philippines. DIFFICULTIES MAINLY AT MANILA joma of the Insurgent Conferring at the Capital Arrested — Filibusters Land Arms from China—Prominent Spanish Residents fn One Province Said to Aid Rebels. MANILA, March 19.—General Otis considers Manila the most trouble some center In the situation today. The insurgent junta here, in conjunc tion with that in Hong Kong, is grow ing active. The military authorities have been forced to put a stop to Mabini’s inter course with the public. The local and foreign press considers his recent ut terances calculated to incite the Fil ipinos to a continued revolt and prej udicial to American control. Flores, who has just arrived here, says he comes trusting to American leniency and that he would not have dared to come to Manila if Spain were yet In control. He cherishes the hopes and aspiration which actuated him | when in the field and desires to watch congressional action on the question of the Philippines. The insurgents do not expect to vanquish the Americans, but are main taining a resistance with the idea of forcing congress to accord them the best possible terms. A number of representative insur gent leaders from different parts of Luzon have recently been in confer ence in Manila. Some have been placed under arrest, but the others thus far have not been interefered with. Louis Spizel, head of the firm of Louis Spitzel & Co., contractors to the Chinese government, and himself a suspected filibuster, came from Hong Kong to Manila last week and was temporarily detained in custody on suspicion. It is asserted upon good authority that three loads of arms and ammunition have recently been landed on the east coast of Luzon Cap tain Taylor of the Thirty-ninth regi ment captured twelve new Mausers near Calamba. Reports 'are current here of active rebel reorganization in the province of Morong, where the insurgent leaders are said to be assisted by prominent Spanish residents. Inhabitants of this province who are now in Manila have been advised not to return to their homes, but to remain under the protection of the Americans. It is also reported that the rebels are organizing in the province of Zam bales, under Maseardo. Brigands are committing atrocities in the province of Nueva Eciga, where they have murdered twenty natives and Chinamen. Eight other murders have been committed near Tarlac. The Nueva Eciga insurgents are heavily taxing farmers and local trad ers, with the result that business is paralyized and there is a general scarc ity of food. The funds for maintain ing this guerilla warfare are collected from the various towns of the island, whether occupied by Americans or not, even including Manila. In the province of Albay the insur gents have ceased harrassing the Amer icans, owing, it is reported, to a lack of ammunuion, but they continue rav aging the country by burning and loot ing. The natives are tiring of this sort of thing and threaten to turn against the marauders. Already the townspeople of Legaspi, Albay and Donzol are slowly returning to their homes. Major Allen of the Forty-third reg iment has been appointed military governor of the island of Samar, where Lukban, the former leader of the rebels in that locality, is still in the mountains. General Kobbe has opened twenty ports in the southern part of Luzon and in the islands of Samar and Leyte, the result of which is to stimulate trade there, although only temporarily as the country opened is non-produc tive and apparently non-consuming. Owing to the political conditions of the last few months, products accumu lated during the blockade. These will be shipped to Manila and then the ports will be empty. F<?ANK dinsmore to hang. Jury Returns a Verdict of Murder In the * First Degree. LEX1NCTON Neb., March 19.—The Jury in the Dinsmore case agreed upon a verdict, at 4:30 Saturday morning. Judge Sullivan and the attorneys in the case were awakened and the pris oner was brought in. By this time it was 5:15. The foreman presented the verdict as follows: “We, the jury, duly sworn and im paneled in the above entitled case, do find the defendenat, Frank L. Dins more, guilty as charged in the infor mation of murder in the first degree and we do further find that said de fendant shall suffer death for said of fense.” (Signed.) “I. A. M’NEAL, Foreman.” Tny Tribute to Ilnywanl. WASHINGTON, March 19.—In the house Saturday Kahn of California called up a bill to provide for the pur chase by the Keeluk Packing company (>1 a strip of land in Alaska used by ilie company for the last twenty years. The bill was passed. Burkett of Nebraska then presented resolutions in memory of the late Mon roe L. Hayward, senator from Ne braska. •lulls Arthur Retires. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 19.— B. C. Cheney, husband of Julia Arthur, the actress, last night, announced her retirement from the stage for the sea son, and perhaps permanently. AH dates have been cancelled and the com pany disbanded. Gatftcre Force Advanclug. BKTHULH, March 19.—General Gat acre's scouts have occupied Sprlngfon tein. The country is clear of the en emy. The main column is following the scouts. TO WASHINGTON FOR TAYLOR, Two Federal Officers Leave to Ask for Recognition. LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 19.—The two governors of Kentucky were en tertained in this city today. Messrs. Taylor and Beckham both insisted that they had come to Louisville on purely personal business and that their visits had no political significance. They spent the day quietly, though both received numerous calls from their political and personal friends. Governor Taylor and his associates among the republican party leaders are very close-mouthed as to the na ture of the mission on which Surveyor of the Port C. M. Barnett and Collector ! of Internal Revenue Sapp left for I Washington last night after their con j fcrence with Taylor, but there is little j doubt it has to do with the national administration’s recognition of the state officers. The latter do not con ceal their purposes to hold on to their positions until the United States su preme court has passed upon the ques tion of their right to hold them. They do not intend to surrender the state buildings and records after a de cision by the state court of appeals, if that court should decide against them. 1 here has been some talk that the democratic officers may try to exercise their functions in earnest in case they are upheld by the court of appeals, whiclf they regard as the court of last resort in their cases and it is believed the republicans wish to know the feel ing of the national leaders of their party toward their policy. The governorship case is still in the circuit court of this county. Judge Field is expected to dispose of it this week, when it will be taken to the court of appeals. A week or two more will be consumed by the proceedings before that court. Governors Taylor and Beckham will return to Frankfort tomorrow. PACIFYING THE FREE STATE I Work Is Engaging all the Jlme of Rob erts at Present. LONDON, March 19.—Tl.e peaceful conquest of the Orange Free State 1 rogresses so evenly that It is now believed there will be little or no i’ghtlng until Lord Roberts reaches the Vaal river. How Boon he intends t) start out with this objective is not yet hinted at, but the pacification of the Free Staters seems now engaging all his attention. When the move comes it will doubtless be accom plished with the secrecy and swiftness which have characterized all the Brit ish advances s’r.ce Lord Roberts as turned command. In the meanwhile the fate of Mafe king remains unknown. The revolt of the Cape Dutch in tin northeast seems to have had- its back broken and it is likely General Kitch ener will soon resume his place besick his chief. The lull that lets the British troop.; In Natal and the Free State recuper ate brings no rest to the engineers ami transport service. Girourd, the young Canadian officer, who rules supremo over the railroads, is now putting his system to the most severe test, in an endeavor to pour supplies from Cape town to Bloemfontein. Commandant Oliver, after leaving Burghersdorp, went to Rouxville, where he is now reported to be with only a small force. Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, has disappeared from Brussels. According to a Globe spe cial he Is believed to have come to London, but nothing is known here about his arrival. It seems scarcely likely that he would jump into the lion’s mouth and the energetic Boer representative is more likely to be sono heard of ar one of the other European capitals. TO LAY TOOLS DOWN. One Hundred Thou*und Machinist* to Re Ordered to Strike. CHICAGO, March 19.—After the conference between the representatives of the International Association of Machinists and the administrative council of the National Metal Trades' association ended at 1:30 o'clock this morning, President O’Connell of the union declared that strikes would be called immediately in all parts of the United States and Canada. Such strikes would involve 100,000 men and cause to be shut down for an indefinite period plants having an aggregate capacity of millions of dollars daily. Wheeler Affair is Mixed. WASHINGTON, March 19.—It is evi dent that an effort is being made by some of the administration officials to induce General Wheeler to withdraw his request for immediate action upon his resignation. It is intimated that this effort is attributable solely to an interest in the personal welfare of the general. In this connection it is recalled that the president has had it in mind to r.sk congress for special legislation empowering him to retire General Wheeler, General Lee and another brigadier general of volunteers, with the rank of brigadier general in th3 legular army. An Exposition for Kansan. TOPEKA, Kan., March 19.—Kansas will have a big exposition in 1904 in celebration of the territory of Kansas, i Steps in that direction have already been taken. The Topeka Commercial tiub has presented the matter to the executive council of the state and the latter will issue a call for the organ ization of a committee to promote the enterprise. The committee will be composed of one member from each i county in the state. _ Dewey Taking Trip South. WASHINGTON, March 19.—Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left here tonight for a trip south. They expect to visit Savannah, Mocan, St. Augustine, Jack sonville and Palm Beach. The ad I miral and Mrs. Dewey probably will not return to the city until the lat ter part of next month, at which time it is said they will sail for Europe, visiting the exposition some time dur ing the summer. Mrs. Dewey has been made chairman of the battleship committee in aid of the children’s Eas ter festival for the Cuban orphan asylum. MOVE ON TO PRETORIA General Roberts Promises to Soon be in the Transvaal Capital. WILL SEARCH FOR THE ENEMY Soldier* of Clements and Pole-Carrew Will Garrison Bloemfontein — Many Burghers Have Expressed Tbelr Inten tion of Laying Down Their Arms. LONDON, March 17.—With the rail way communication to the Cape in tact, Lord Roberts ’vill in a very few days be in a position to begin-the ad vance on Pretoria. His deep polit|cal intuition, combined with his bold strat egy, is having the result desired in )the southern sections of the Orange Free Slate, which are rapidly calming down Mafeking is now the only point! for anxiety, and as it is known that a (force has left Kimberley its relief mtiy be announced before many days pass. TJie efficacy of the relieving column ib* heightened by the fact that it is partly composed of regulars. In the lobbies of parliament Iasi evening it was rumored that Lord Rob erts is about to issue a proclamation announcing that the former system of government in the Orange Free State ic abolished and promising the Free Staters who immediately surrendered due consideration. It is understood that all the conn nental powers, with one exception, un compromisingly refused to intervene The exception was Russia, whose re ply was couched in less firm language, although, like the others, she decline ! to interfere. It is said the pope also v as appealed to, but he declined to do any thing beyond writing a letter to the queen, appealing to her to stop the further effusion of blood. Dr. Leyds’ efforts with King Leopold were quite futile. The possibility of the destruction of Johannesburg is still discussed here, but it is stated that the French and German shareholders would offer a strong protest. The latest development of the sur render of Bloemfontein show that the approach of the British caused a stam pede. Thirteen trains, each composed of forty cars, and all crammed with Boers, hurried northward just before the line was cut. Mr. hteyn would have been compelled to surrender, but he pretended that he was going to visit one of the outposts, and at midnight took a carriage which was waiting for him outside the town and thus escaped. The Boers got the hulk of their wagons and military stores away. Lord Roberts’ success in handling the civil problems at Bloemfontein rnd the manifest equanimity with which the residents of the capital of the Orange Free State accept the Brit ish occupation momentarily eclipse in interest the military situation. It is believed here that the commander-in chief of the British forces in South Africa will soon push on to Pretoria but Great Britain is quite content to listen for a few days to the acclamation or the people of Bloemfontein and per mit the troops to enjoy a few days’ iest before expecting further success. I-ord Roberts made a quaint speech to the Guards at Bloemfontein today, when, in his first congratulatory words he expressed pride in their splendid march of thirty-eight miles in twenty eight hours, and gave ample assurance of his ultimate design. “Through a small mistake,” said I-ord Roberts, “I have not been able to march into Bloemfontein at tha head of the brigade, as I intended. I promise you, however, that I will lead you into Pretoria.” WHEEIER AfTER HIS SEAT. To Ask to Be Sworn In as Represent «tive After nis Resignation. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 17.— General Joe Wheeler a.rived in this city this morning fron Atlanta, Ga. He called at the war department this afternoon. In the absence of Secretary Root he reported formally to Adjutant General Corbin, thus com plying with the order from the de partment, which brought him from Manila to Washington. The general was in the uniform of a brigadier general of the volunteer army. He looked the picture of health; better than when he left Washington for Manila. He gave General Corbin a briqf description of the conditions in Luzon when he left. He insisted .that the war was over and that noth ing more was to be done except to run down a few guerrillas and irregulars. There was difficulty in this work, he said, and there was danger, too, but its prosecution was not “war.” Am buscades were frequent and annoying and it was not easy to tell whether the hidden force was strong or weak; three or four men had been mistaken for a company in some cases. The general said that the American troops are doing splendid work there. They are sound and healthy and in quite as good shape as they w'ould be at home, engaged in similar ser vice. This was owing in a measure to the excellent care for their men exhibited by officers and to the watch ful precautions of the staff of the army. House l>:i8ses Small Bills. WASHINGTON, Mart'll 17—The first private bill in the house under the new rule was considered today. Iwo hours were spent in the discus sion of a bill to pay Representative Swanson $1,769 for extra expenses in curred by him in his contest in the last congress, but the bill was ulti mately abandoned* Six bills of minor importance were passed. The Quay Vote In Two Weeks. WASHINGTON, March 17.—Mr. Hoar in the senate, renewed h!s re quest of yesterday that a date be fixed for the taking up of the case relating to the seating of Mr. Quay, and asked that the time be fixed at two weeks from next Tuesday, the consideration of the case not to interfere with appro priation bills, conference reports, un finished business or the Spodner bill conferring authority upon the presi dent to govern the Philippines. The request was agreed to. LiVE STOCK AND PRODUCE. Omaha, Chicago and New York Market v Quotations. SOUTH OMAHA LIVE STOCK.

The Boers were concentrated in strength at Van Reenen’s pass and Tintwa’s pass. Kaffirs arriving here report that tha Boers are manifesting a vindictive spir it under defeat and that many kraals hitherto respected have been burned. The German ambulances attached to the Boer forces were found near Mod eler spruit, having been abandoned by the Boers because they were unable to keep pace with the retreat. They wero brought into camp, where the wounded were cared for. Transports were sub sequently supplied and the ambulances T.ere sent to the Boer lines. BETTING ON 1HE WAR’S END. Londoners Confident that Hostilities Will < Cease In May. LONDON, March 19.—Predictions and bets are being made that the war will be ended by the middle of May. The news from South Africa today is entirely satisfactory to the British public. The relief of Mafeking is not yet announced, but this may have been already accomplished by Colonel Plu mer’s advance. I^ady Charles Ben • tinck, at Capetown, has received a tele gram from her husband in Mafeking oated March 12, saying that he ex pected to join her shortly. The actual relief movements have rot been publicly developed in detai’, but it seems that Lord Methuen only started very recently and is rather en gaged in dispersing the Boers of the district than aiming at actual relief. Goon Prices for Horses. RAPID CITY, S. D„ March 19.—Two carloads of average range horses were sold to Sioux City parties last week by Frank Stanton of this city, the average price being $60 per head.
