Tha Brave Dutch of South Africa
Still Defy Brltlan and Will
Fight For Months.
London, Oct. SO. The military sltua
iton In South Africa 1 aa bad as can
be imaftned from the British point of
view. The Boers have effected an un
broken aeries of considerable successes
In every corner of the theater of war,
and th gravest of them all Is the evi
dence of their ability to Isolate Cape
Colony from the north.
An attempt to send British reinforce
ments from Bloemfonteln to strengthen
the lines of communication In the south
ern part of the Orange River colony has
failed.
There has been considerable sniping
as far south as the Frasenburg road.
This determination to display solidity
of race feeling puts enormous difficul
ties In the way of Lord Roberts in the
work of suppressing the guerrillas with
a severe hand. The Cape Dutch prac
tically say: "Unless you treat the Boers
as honorable belligerents we will make
.your soldiers suffer."
It will be Impossible to suppress the
dissatisfaction In the north of the col
ony. If families are deported, as was
done at Jagersfontein, after an attack
from the garrison there, the Boers wiii
be able to fight for months among the
trackless highlands and easily destroy
parties of troops If the attempt Is made
to burn and rase the little homesteads.
The uitlanders at Cape Town are
growing uply, and riots are possible un
less they return to Johannesburg soon.

OUR DEAR BRITISH COUSINS.
Are Robbing an American Company
In Venezuela.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 30 Harold
Verge, superintendent of the Orinoco
company's mines in Venezuela, arrived
here today. When he left three weeks
ago its officers were in daily expecta
tion of the annulment of the company's
land grant of 14,000,000 acres of land by
Dictator Castro, which came a few
days after he left. Mr. Verge says this
action is a part of a deep laid plan to
confiscate the American company's
property and turn the concession over
to an English syndicate, which has been
waging bitter war upon the Americans.
' United States Consul Loomis.he says,
has stood quietly by during the progress
of the Intrigue and made no protest.
This has encouraged Castro to go ahead
In the belief that there would be no
protest from the United States govern
ment, for which he has a wholesome re
gard. The action Is a great hardship
to the company, causing the suspension
of its operations and the abandonment
of a number of valuable sub-contracts.
Vigorous efforts will be made to have
the state department t!".a Ycnei'J
Ian government to time.

Santa Tomas. Prof. Malone is a teach
er in English at the Filipino university
and Is on his way to his home in Fall

cers are robbing the government with
out apparent fear of discovery.
"While I was in Manila," said he, "a
transport unloaded a cargo of provi
sions tor the army. The cases were
dumped on the wharf. Most of the
goods consisted of canned stuff, and
all was marked 'Inspected' and 'con
demned.' The cargo was sold to a Chi
nese mandarin for 2 cents a can and
three days later, before being removed
from the wharf, the same goods were
sold for V cents a can. Moat of the
plundering is done by the commissary
officers and the thefts equal If not sur
pass the Infamy of the Spanish."

NEW YORKI DOES HONOR TO
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATB.
CHEERS FOR DilYAII.
Second Visit Is Hailed By 160,000
Voices and Scenes are) Unpar
alled Thla Year,
New York. (Special.) Cheers from
150,000 throats rang In William J, Bry
an's ears last night during his second
progress through the city and 50,000
persons listened to his appeal for their
support In 1900 In "the enemy's coun
try of 1896."
From a campaign excursion Into Con
necticut he returned to the scene of
his effort twelve days ago, when Tam
many rallied crowds of 46,000 to do him
honor. Last night three times that
number of men, women and children
assembled at the points where he was
to speak or massed themselves In the
streets through which he was to pass.
In Madison Square garden and park,
which had resounded the night before
with plaudits for McKinley and Roose
velt and groans for Bryan, the name
of the republican candidates were hiss
ed and Jeered at while Bryan was hailed
with acclamation. The outpouring be
low Fourteenth street and In the east
aide, made a record-breaking manifesta
tion of popular Interest.
In Second avenue between Fifth and
Twenty-fifth streets, Mr. Bryan drove
through a mile of closely packed hu
manity. ' Even 'n the heart of a dis
trict of the city where his friends are
supposed to be least numerous, the
demonstration was remarkable.
STANDS BY SILVER.
Mr. Bryan had made up his mind to
take up the republican accusation con
tained In the accusation that he had
dodged free silver in the east. In his
speeesi in Cooper Union he declared
that he still stood where he stood four
years ago on the financial question, and
that he had not attempted to conceal
the fact.
Nevertheless he Insisted that Imperi
alism was the paramount Issue.
While Mr. Bryan was making his
way through . cheering multitudes to
the smaller meetings arranged for him,
David B. Hill and Bourke Cockran were
holding the attention of the audience
of 12,000 which filled Madison Squaer
Garden. Mrs. Bryan sat in a box, made
conspicuous by flowers, directly oppo
site the platform from which her hus
band was to speak. Richard Croker oc.
cupled a box on her right.
Mr. Hill dwelt upon Mr. Bryan's un
questioned integrity and did not forget
to say a word for the democratic state
ticket.
COCKRANS TRIBUTE.
Mr. Cockran was greeted by tremen
Jous applause. He spoke for more than
in hour, being forced to kill time while
Mr. Bryan was at the Hoffman house
having his throat sprayed, which de
layed him half an hour.
The audience went wild, however,
when Mr. Cockran said:
"I opposed Mr. Bryan In this very
spot four years ago, when I believed
him to be wrong; I thank God for the
opportunity to support him here now,
when 1 beiicve is right.',' . . ?
Mr. Bryan arrived at 10 o'clock.
Great applause and mighty cheers pre
vented him from speaking for nearly
fifteen minutes. After the frantic shouti
for Bryan, the audience, which had
arisen all over the main floor of the
garden, turned Its bark upon him and
saluted Mrs. Bryan with a demonstra
inon as enthusiastic as that which had
been given to her husband. She looked
very much pleased, but a little embar
rassed by the tribute.
Mr. Bryan spoke clearly and was dis
tinctly heard. He took up in turn the
principles enumerated In the Kansas
City platform, devoting more or less
time to each In proportion as he re
garded them as more or less Important
He gave out a text from Proverbs:
"Remove not the ancient landmarks
which thy fathers have set."
With this ns his theme, he argued
that the democratic party had become
the conservative parly, seeking to sus
tain the time-honored principles of the
government, while the republicans had
become revolutionary.
Mr. Bryan quoted Senator Scott's d
laratian in favor of trusts at the
Kootievelt dinner, accused Governoi
Roosevelt of dodging his argument
aguinst a large standing army, opposed
government by Injunction and devoted
.nuch of his forty-ve minutes to im
perialism. Wllllmantle, Conn., Oct. 33. A mob of

"The undersigned, cltisens of the?

administration in Porto Rico and thai
Philippines. Our prior acquisitions were
of adjacent territory for the exteasfces
of the area of constitutional govern

the union. We made their new inhab

we there established the Institutions of
freedom. For the first time In oar
history It is now proposed that the
president and congress shall rule vast
territories and millions of men outside
our constitutional system. Officiate
sworn to suDnort the constitution ana
deriving ail their powers therefrom have
acquired colonies and assumed arbitra

ants without consent and to tax them
without representation. This policy of
fers to the people of Porto Klco ana
the Philippines no hope ot independ

ship, no representation in the congress
which taxes them. This Is the govern
"We believe that it Is the rst duty
of the American people to stamp with.
their disapproval doctrines so Hostile io
liberty and dangerous to constitutional
government. If they are to remain free
and their government Is to continue 1
representative, their servants must not
have or exercise any but constitutional
powers. Between the claim of freedom
that all men are entitled to equal po
litical rights and the dogma of tyranny
that might makes right, there la no
middle ground.
"We have not prior to this year sup
ported the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. We
do not now concur in certain of hie
views on minor issues. Yet his position,
on the supreme issue of the present
campaign is so sound, and his advocacy
of It has been so able and courageous
that we now favor his election as tha
most effective way of showing disap
proval of Mr. McKlnley's course. With
out claiming any special political influ

may be worth to our fellow cltisens, la
this statement of proposed action la tha
presence of a greater danger than we
have encountered since the . pilgrims
landed at Plymouth the danger that
we are to be transformed from a repub
