ceeds Sympathy for tha
Accuied Adjourned for
One Week.
London, March 11. There was a big
jingo crowd in and about Bow street
police court to-day. The occasion for
the turning ont was the formal ar
raignment of Dr.1 Leant? er 8. Jameson
and his officers charged with violating
the foreign enlistment act, passed in
1870, "to regulate the conduct of her
majesty's subjects during the existence
of hostilities between foreign States
with which her majesty is at peace.",
Mr. Chamberlain and " Mr. Jameson
are assocTa'edi' by the jingo minded.
and therefore not only were theTrans-
vaal iuibasterers loudly cheered when-
ever recognized.by the crowds , in tha
streets .leadinc up to Bow' street, but
there were hearty applause for"" Joe'
Chamberlain for his "vigorous colonial
policy. I .uiVViVir. ---I .7 . "?,-' :r-,i,
There was a buzz of admiration, al
most awe', when Dr.' Jameson and Sir
John Willouffhbv. the military com'
mander of the expedition," and their
fellow raiders mustered together at
the opening of the court, and had it
not been for the stern demeanor of the
chief justice, a popular demonstration
would have occurred J' v ;
.The array of council on both sides
is formidable. For the defense there
are Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C, Sir F.
Lock wood, Q C, Edward M.Carson,
a C, and C F. Gill In behalf of the
prosecution there are . Sir Richard
; Webster, Q. C, E. B. Finlay, Q. C, Sir
Charles Matthew, Q. C, and others.
.Sir John Bridge, the chief magistrate
presided. ... , .... .
' Sir Richard Webster opened for the
crown, lie dwelt in forcible language
upon the gravity of the charge against
.the prisoners, contending that tne
South African republic was a friendly
'state within the meaning of the for
eign enlistment act, and holding that
Bechuanaland, from whence most of
Dr. Jameson's troops came, was -undoubtedly
part of the British do
minions. There was no mistaking the earn
estness of the leading counsel for the
prosecution, and if any of the defend
ants had the idea that the legal action
against them was to be a mere formal
ity, that notion was soon dissipated
by Sir Richard Webster's remarks.
When Sir Richard sat down there
was a quickly suppressed murmuring
of surprise among the friends of the
raiders. Evidently they had not real
ized the gravity of the situation.
The first witness called was Ser
geant Hay of Bechuanaland, a typical
trooper of the British South African
mounted forces, bronzed and wiry,
well built and smart looking. He
testified to the mustering of the troop
ers at Maf eking and to the endeavors
of Dr. Jameson and Colonel Grey to
induce him and a few of his comrades
to join the body of men being equip
ped for the march toward Johannes
burg. The questions put to Sergeant
Hay drew forth from that witness the
statement that Dr. Jameson and Col
onel Grey were much annoyed, and so
expressed themselves, at the fact that
some of the troopers hesitated and
others refused to join in the expedi
tion. Soon after the hearing was ad
journed one week.
Dr. Jameson has been staying at
Deepdene with Lord William Beres
ford, with whom he went through the
Zulu campaign. The Doctor goes
about privately.

TO NAME 11 STATE TICKET
KANSAS REPUBLICANS IN CONVEN
TION AT WICHITA, '
THE PRELIMINARY WORK.
Ex-Chief Justice Horton Hade Tempora
ry Chairman He Delivers Hot Re
publican Speech He Roundly
Scores the Last Populist Ad
ministration Presiden
tial Candidates.
Wichita, Kan., March 11. The Re
publican state convention was .called
to order at 11:30 o'clock by Chairman
Cyrus Leland,'" The Rev. J. F. Sage
of Ottawa, a minister "of the African
Methodist church, invoked the divine
blessing. The selection of a tempo
rary chairman next being in order, H.
L. Gordon of. Sedgwick .county placed
Albert H. Horton of Shawnee county
in nomination. There being no other
nominations, Mr. Horton was elected
by acclamation. Mr. Horton said:
"1 hail with . infinite pride and In
tense pleasure the presence here to-,
day of so many - strong and sturdy
representatives of the stalwart Repub
licans of Kansas, because I am able to
congratulate the members of the first
State convention " held since the mem
orable election of 1894, upon.the .com
plete overthrow of that incompetent
and corrupt party, which at the ses
sion of our last State convention,
occupied the State house at Topeka as
its citadel cf power and which in its
few short months of official life
brought so much discredit and dis
honor upon the good 'name and fair
fame of this great commonwealth.
"I congratulate the members of the
first State Republican convention held
since the election of November, lbS4,
not only upon the 'fact that 'by 'the
votes of the intelligent and patriotic
citizens oi Kansas the State bouse has
been cleansed and purified from the
hungry brood of cormorants spawned
upon our State In its days of misfor
tune and disaster, bnt also upon the
further fact that our charitable and
other public institutions have been
freed from these corrupt officials, who
were destroying the usefulness of
these institutions, and with their de
pendent families were unlawfully
consuming the substance of the hon
est taxpayers of the State.
"Whether our standard bearer in the
coming presidential campaign be the
able, popular and successful governor
of the Empire State, Morton of New
York; or whether it be that prince of
parliamentarians and the greatest of
all speakers that ever presided in the
halls of Congress, Reed of Maine; or
whether it be that distinguished citi
zen of our neighboring State, whose
stalwart Republicanism, excellent
judgment and lofty character have
won the admiration,, not only of the
Northwest, but of all the people of
the Union; or whether it be that
imperial leader of Ohio, whose name
is linked inseparably with the pro
tection of the great industrial in
terests of our country and with
the producers and wage workers all
over our land, that standard bearer
will be victorious. When the votes of
November shall have been counted,
the Republican nominee for President
will be declared elected. Grover
Cleveland will be replaced by a sturdy
American, more interested in the in
dustries of this country and the ad
vancement of our financial interests
than the free trader now occupying
the Presidential chair. Then no Amer
ican will be tried by a court martial
and the record of such a trial refused
a single day from . immediate inspec
tion when demanded.
"The producers of our state have
become weary, very weary, of the
markets of the world "upon a free
trade basis, which only permits them
to sell their corn, their cotton and
their cereals at less than the cost of
production. They are anxious for a
home market with a good price and
fair compensatian for their labor. The
people, as McKinley says, 'are hungry
to vote' at the next Presidential elec
tion. That the. vote of the Republic
ans of Kansas will be with the major
ity of the nation it goes without say
ing. Therefore, I trust your delibera
tions to-day will be of such a charac
ter as befits the seriousness of this oc
casion and the importance of the re
sults to follow."
Judge Ilorton's address gave the
convention great pleasure. Enthusi
astic delegates punctuated his remarks
with frequent applause, and were es
pecially demonstrative when he al
luded to McKinley.
Mr. Leland offered the following
telegram of greeting to the Ohio con
vention in session at Columbus to-day:
'Convention hall, Wichita, Kan.,
March 10. The Republican state con
vention at Columbus, Ohio: The Re
publicans of Kansas, in convention
assembled, having perfected their tem
porary organization, as their first
official act, send you greeting and as-
sure you that Ohio is no more loyal
and devoted than Kansas to that tral
lant champion of Republicanism and
patriotic defender of the prosperity of
the American Home, William McKinley
of the United States. (Signed) A. H.
Hortcn, temporary chairman."
George T. Anthony, and Senator
Gordon addressed the convention and
the Modoc club sang. Chairman I lor
ton announced the committees, after
which the convention adjourned till
2 o'clock.
Alms at Short Order Divorces.
W ashington, March H. On motion
of Mr. Gillett, a bill was passed in the
House to-day making one'year's "con
tinuous residence''' in a territory a
prerequisite to obtaining divorce in
such territory. The bill was aimed at
Oklahoma territory, where ninety
days residence is all that is required.'
"As a result," said the report on the
bill, "cases are not investigated as
their importance demands. Scandal
and immorality result. The bill will
abolish these temporary divorce colo
nies and establish in the territories a
safeguard found necessary in nearly
all the states.
