WILL PLEAD FOR BOERS Promised the Brave Little Nation To Present Its Cause to the People of Our Country. By Webster Davis. Late Assistant Secretary of the Interior.) Washington, D. C My resignation of the office of assistant secretary of the interior is simply a matter of con science and sympathy for the Boers. Shortly after the close of the last campaign In Ohio I found myself worn out with continuous speaking for sev eral weeks during that campaign, and my physician told me It was absolutely necessary for me to take a long sea voyage. My old friend and neighbor. Colonel J. G. Stowe, now I'nited States consul general at Capetown, Africa, had been importuning me for two years to visit South Africa. I concluded the proper time for me to make such a visit had arrived. Not having had any vacation for three years of my official term, I asked leave of absence, which was kindly granted by the president and secretary of the Interior. First, I went to Capetown and was treated very nicely there by my friend and also by his excellency, Sir Alfred Milner, governor of Cape Colony, and other officials, and this, too, when It was well understood that I was on a visit simply for health and recreation and not on any government mission whatsoever. HIS VISIT TO THE BOKRS. After this I went to Iorenzo Marques, for the purpose of trying to get Into the South African Republic, as I had great anxiety to see and hear the Boer side of the controversy, for I had a suspicion that their side was not get ting properly before the public, as it was well known that all cable lines were under the control of the British, and the censor made it absolutely im possible for the Boers to g.-t anything favorable to them either over the wires or through the mails. At Lorenzo Marques, after a most cordial reception tendered me volun tarily by the governor and governor general of the Portuguese province of Mozambique, I received a telegram from Secretary Heltz of the South Af rican Republic. Inviting me to )e-ome the guest of the government, and say ing that President Kruger would send his private car to take me to Pretoria. I accepted this hospitality just as 1 had accepted the hospitality of the' British officials at Capetown and of the Portuguese officials at Delagoa Bay. At Pretoria I was given a most hear ty reception. Secretary Reltz and the nther government officials met me at tne station and conducted me to the . - ,... hoteL BURGHERS MlfiJlDGED. I spent considerable time In the Or ange Free State and South African Re public, saw much of the Boer people, in the cities, on the farms, in public' and private life; saw them In laager, cm the way to the front and on the bat tle fields, and I soon concluded that no people In the world had ever been so badly abused, and so badly misrepre sented, for a kinder hearted, a more generous or nobler people cannot b found anywhere.. Not wishing to embarrass the admin istration In any way, I have resigned my office In order that 1 may feel free to give expression to my views. My heart bleeds for those poor. unfortunate liners, who, without money and witti tmt resources, are making the most gallant fight for liberty and Justice yet recorded In the histories ot nations, and I feel that If 1 were standing ab solutely alone in America for , men cause, yet I would do so with c'urage and firmness. WKBHTJvK rV'IS. . e WIN MR. DMIS RESIST. The New York Jourp of His In- Irst Told ial.)-Th.-, to the pros- ebster Davis, he Interior, be- proclivitles, was Mr. Davis sent his esldetit McKlnlcy. easons are exactly those the Journal. He desires half of the iioeis. cannot upylrig his present position embarrassing the wdministra- nd has resigned public office so may devote himself to the a use. Secretary Davis promised the people of the Transvaal that he would tell the people of the Coiled Slates the existing situation In South Africa, and he pro poses to tede-m his promise. When he returned to this city u week ago he found (hut the administration mas hopelessly committed to a policy of non-itnervcntlon. and for that rea son he, ,is a member of the administra tion, was debarred from speaking Ins mind. Ratlier than break faith with the people ,,f the Transvaal he determined to give tip his position in the adminis tration. The clrvii'tistiinres surrounding the giving of this promise sre pathetic. Mr. Davis had heen sr Chi Colony, where he had se.- the British tnllltMry oper stlons and hud met British orflctals. lie went to 1'retotin, where he met President Knis.-r and othc-, leading burghers, snd learned their side of flv controversy. UK MAKKH HIS PnOMlKK. He went to the fsunf, where he saw1 tranrffalhers of mreaty fighting side by side with grands,, f 17. On lilv return to Pretoria h met President s Join nal si e J peetivei j m m J M I Kruger aK.nn. and, while Mr. IxtvU iloex i.i.t say so. it Is understood that the venerable Dutchman awkcti the as--istant s-in twry of the Interior to gc le liiM of the I'nited Httttef that the Transvaal lo,,ke4 to this coun try iir moral snpxrt in this supreme hour . f trial for the cause of liberty. The je,,p,e of i'reioria w.ie Interest ed in Mr. Davis' visit. They clustered atKiut bis fetoipiiig place while he was in the iiy. At the depot, strong, pianliiif; children, teaiful maidens sor row ing mother and wives and white bearde,) oid men. saw him depart. "Tell the (wople of the I'nited States, they said, "Jut how ou found us. Just how we are, whether or not we have au?e for sorrow, whether or not a sis ter republic should stand by us. wheth er or not our land should Is? taken away from us. and if the little DuU-h Republic of South Africa should be effaced from the map. You and your people gained your freedom from Kng land when you were British colonists. Surely we should not be absorbed by that monarchy when we huve our in dependence." The train was about to depart. Mr. favis. deeply touched, desired to es cape from the weeping and clamoring crowd. '1 he palsied hands seized his coat In feeble remonstrance. Tear stained feminine faces looked beseech ingly Into his. TEARS WON THIS CHAMPION. "Promise us that you will tell the I'nited States that we should be sav ed," piped the treble voice of an octo genarian. Davis looked at the crowd, practical ly everything that was left n Pretoria except the home guard, which war. i n sentry duty in the outskirts. Thei were grandfathers, mothers, sisters and brothers begging him for at least his voice and his influence in behalf ol their homes and such of th-ir mcu lie might return to them. Mr. Davis promised. To redeem this promise h must lost his place as assistant s-cr.laiy of th interior. 'It is a matter of svmpa'.hv on mv part." said Mr. Dav is. "In South Africa I visited both ar mies. I ma- mui-h of the 'British and 1 saw much of the lJ-ers. I concluded that the cause of the Boers was Just, and that when the two smallest repub lics In the world are struggling anainst the greatest empire in the world for Justic e and Independenc e, it it us at least my part to speak my mind. "All the Boers, including men, wo men and children. d not constitute a greater population than that of the city of Washington. These Leave and simple people have the courage to make the greatest light in history against an empire of four hundred mil lions. Surely, I should have courage enough to expres my opinion. "My sympathies ar with these peo ple, and 1 believe that the American people should sympathize with thern. I think we should do anything and ev erything within our power to let Great Britain and the world know that the American people in sympathy are not with the British, but with ih Koers. Ue snould l.t the world know that in our Judgment, such an unholy war should stop, and slop quickly. "TI1K1U C.U'SB WAS iiXc'l-; OI'US." "As sons of our foiefatheis who fought British tyrannv and i-ti hlieh-l religious and civil liberty in the west ern hemisphere, we are !iioi,illy bound to support the Boers, They are rl:tit ing for what we fought and they aie dying for the same prim Iples for which many Americans have uivd. and for which every true American Is willing to sacrifice his life. "As assistant secretary of the Ji ior 1 eoul dnot embarrass this g ment by talking as 1 felt. That reason for resigning. 1 will In a. die address, try to make the m r!. an people acquainted with the truth as I know it and as they should know it. it is my duty my moral duty tc do so, "A gross injustice is being perpetrat ed on our own people, and they are be ing misrepresented before the whole world. Aside from the question of, lib erty, which Is sac-red and dear to .'ill of us, the humanitarian principle In vovlved is almost of equal importance. It is incumbent on the I'nited Sim- to remonstrate in this case Just us it did with Spain when at war witn th struggling Cubans. "We do not get the truth from South Africa. The Knglish oi resmdei,t are enabled to get their dispatches over the lines, because the lines are con trolled absolutely by the Knglish, but the American people never hear th lie.er side of the war. "If I did not keep the promise I made tci those suffering people, as brave and as noble as God ev er made in an land, my conscience would bum jend they would haunt me us long us I lived. "Their cause Is Just. God is theii trust, and In the light of Uie past his tory of the American people, who went through the same heart -breaking strua gle. 1 believe the Boets will win." FIRST SPKWH XKXT SI XDAV. Mr. Davis will speak re fore a Wash ington audience next Sunday night. The prieBoer sympathy of Wash ington have l.neii the- Grstrfr opera to. wee, that Mr. Davis may t- ibe world his experience In South Africa and the conclusions he deduces, 4 H has been sent a cll by one hun dred of the most eminent citizens of Washington, requesting him to talk Among the signers are.

Senator Ch:ii dler of New Hampshire, and Repre sentative I.lttletield of Maine, all re publicans. The administration, of course, can el., nothing but accept Mr. Davis' resigna tion. Mr. DhVIs 'e-ic no quarrel with the administration, hs he believes a man may be a republican and si:1: enjoy the right of free speech. As in (he c ase of Mac rum, however, who was a good republican of Mr, McKnih-y's own selection, the sneering, hypoerit Ic nl remarks of the administration lead ers sre gaining circulation. Il seems that one can't be a pro-Boer without being constructively an antl-Mc Kin ley man. although the stale depart m-nt on several oeetaslon denied that mi; alliance exists between Mils count;:, and Great Britain. Secretary Davis is one of the stronc est republicans In the west. He conns from Kansas City, of which city he was once mayor.

Abbott, who has charge of the demo cratic national press bureau, says: "It will be wise for democrats in all jiarts of the country to take an active interest In the welfare of their party. to consider with care and scrutinize cir cumstantially the motives f ihe men who after deserting and bitterly an tagonizing the paity In 1M, are now returnig to its fold and asking permis sion to participate in its actual man agement. "Many of those men returned to the democratic party w ith the best of pur pose's. Many of them have seen that their action in DStf was ill-advised and that however much evil they may have unwisely apprehended from the itcur re nce to the ancient system of bimetal lic currency, those evils have been vastly outdone by the delivery over to the forces of monopoly and militarism of the national government as a result cef McKinley's eb-ctlon.
