Colonel Broad wood, consisting of the
Tenth Hussars Household cavalry,
two horse batteries and a force of
mounted infantry under Coloel. Ptl

Thaba Xc fau. was obliged, in conse

force of Boer*. u» leave la*t night.
Colonel Bruadwood marched to the
HloetnfuttTe u water works, south of
the Afudder. where he encamped at 4
oYlork this morning.
At early dawn the camp was shelled
by the enemy from a near point. Col
onel Bruadwood sent off a convoy with
j batteries while the rest of the force
remained to act as a rear guard.
The convoy arrived at a deep spruit
• stream! where the Boers were con
cealed and the entire body walked into
* ambush and was captured, together
t with ids guns
The low* of life was not great, since
most of the British had walked into
the trap before a shot was fired.

left Bloemfontein early this morning,

shelling the Boers

Evidently Colonel Broadvood

TARIFF Bill STIFF IN FRONT.
latanlion i« to Vote on the Measure
Tuesday Afternoon.
WASHINGTON. April 2.—The senate
will vote upon the Porto Kican bill
Tuesday at 4 o'clock and, previous to
ihat time, each session of the senate,
beginning at 11 o'clock Monday and
Tuesday, will be devoted wholly to this
bill. Speeches will be made by Sena
tors Hate. Depew. Spooner. Cullom. Ma
«*--n, Clay and Culberson, and probably
>\v other senators.
There will t>e a great rush of speak
«rs toward the close and the time al
lowed is considered too short to accom
modate all who will desire to be heard.
There is. however, no disposition to ex
tend the time agreed upon for taking
the vote.
All but two of the committee amend
ments have been agreed to by the sen
ate. These two relate to a delegate in
congress and to citizenship, and proba
bly will be voted upon Monday.
The friends of the bill count upon
:tt passage by a handsome majority.
1 ut it is now expected that seven re
publican votes will be cast against it.
the seven comprising Senators Davis.
Hoar. Mason. Nelson. Proctor, Simon
and Wellington. Senator McEnery,
democrat, and some independent sena
tors will vote for the measure, but un
til the exact number of such votes is
known the majority far the bill cannot
Ik predicted.
The taking of tie vote on the rorto
Rican bill on Tuesday will displace the
Quay resolution, which was set for that
day. and Senator Chandler, chairman
o» the committee on elections, has giv
<n notice that lie will postpone calling
i» up until Wednesday. The committee
will adjourn the Clark hearing in order
lo give its attention to the Quay reso
lution Wednesday, but as it is not ex
acted that the latter matter can be dis
posed of in one day it is probable that
the necessity for going on with the
Clark case after Wednesday will cause
another postponement ot the Quay res
t lution. There ane several speeches to
Ik made on the Quay case and there
ct quite a noticeable disposition on the
part of some senators still further to
postpone the vote on it. Senator Pen
;osc. however, announces his purpose
1t: press the consideration as rapidly as
i ossible after it is OMce taken up.
The Quay resolution is suaject to dis
placement by appropriation bills, con
i, rence reports and the Spooner resolu
tion for the temporary government of
ihe Philippines. The Philippine resolu
tion will be made the unfinished busi
ness after the vote is taken on Porto
Rico, and it will give way to the Alaska
< (Hie measure.
After that it will divide the time with
appropriation bills and conference re
ports No prolonged discussion is ex
acted on the Philippines resolution.
< wing to the fact that it is considered
n temporary matter, and for the further
reason that the Philippines policy has
lereived considerable attention in con
nection with Porto Rico.
The committee on order of business
is not yet thoroughly decided what sub
ject to take up after the disposal of the
Philippines resolution. There is strong
pressure to secure first place for the
shipping subsidy bill, and at present
:*.e indications are somewhat favorable
:< that measure. The Nicaragua canal
t ill is also pressing for first place and
Senator Morgan expresses strong hope
ol sTH-eess.
DAVIS TO PLEAD EOR BOERS.

ilit* Interior.
KANSAS CITY. April -.—A Journal
special from Washington says:
Webster Davis ot Kansas City will
tomorrow tender his resignation to the
piesident as assistant secretary of the
interior.
Mr. Davis decided to take this course
as the result of his visit to South Af
rica. He will deliver a public address
tonight .ouching the entire scope of
th( present war and believes that he
can best do sc while free form any
lrstraint which his present position
would impos< upon him.
When taking his departure for home
from Pretoria 2.000 people gathered to
take leave of him at the station. They
appealed to him in tears to state their
cause to the American people and Mr.
Davis says his conscience would haunt
him if he proved recreant to that pit
iful appeal.
He lielieves the American people are
not truly informed on the situation.
He will therefore avail himself ol an
early opportunity to relate his expe
lience and observations at a publie
meeting that shall be free to all.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—The com
ing census of live stock will undertake
three new features: classification by
age and partly by sex and use; a
count of pure blood animals, and an
enumeration of stock not on farms and
ranger, these last amounting to sev
eral million head. The age classifi
cation was undertaken in response to
a demand of the stockmen who felt
| that the mere enumeration of animals
legardlesr of age and use was about as
valueless as a count of inhabitants
without distinction of age, sex, color
I and occupation.

ports that the Burgher Army Has
Retreated to Hraudfort.
LONDON, arch 31.—The Bloemfon
tein correspondent of the Daily Chron
icle, telegraphing Thursday, March 29,
says:
President Kruger's latest* proclama
tion warns the women and children
to leave Bloemfontein within five days,
as he intends to bombard and destroy
the city and to shoot the burghers
whom he captures there.
LONDON. March 31.—The war office
has issued the following:
"BLOEMFONTEIN. March 30.-2:15
1 m.—Owing the the activity of the en
emy on our immediate front and their
hostile action toward burghers who
surrendered. 1 found it necessary to
drive them from some kopjes they had
occupied near the Karee siding sta
tion. a few miles south of Brandfort.
The operation was successtuhy carried
cut by the Seventh division, assisted
I y the First and Third cavalry brig
ades. under French, and Le Gallais*
regiment of mounted infantry. The
enemy retreated to Brandfort and our
toops now hold the kopjes. Our cas
ualties were:
Killed. Captain Going. St ottish Bor
derers; wounded. Captain Sellar.
Luard. Peebles. Curgonven and Ed
wards. Lieutenants Coulson and French
end about 100 rank and file.”
The reports that Lord Roberts will
it main at Bloemfontein another month
ire probably intended for Boer con
sumption and the recent movement of
troops and other indications point to
I reparations being well advanced for
a forward movement.
The head of the army of Lord Rob
erts is now about twenty-one miles
north of Bloemfontein. It occupies a
cluster of hills won from the Boers.
The Boers have been using these
bills as a base in beating up the coun
try, in driving off cattle and forcing
non-resistant Free Staters into the
ranks again. The enemy must have
been in considerable force, for Lord
Roberts sent 8.000 infantry and 3.000
ia\alry against them.
Lord Roberts' advance to Pretoria
will probably consist of a series of rap
id forward movements, in wnich Boer
positions will be attacked by a portion
of the army advancing rapidly with
wheel transport, the main army coming
up as the railway is repaired. lx>rd
Roberts is stripping the forces in the
minor spheres of operations of their
wagons and transport animals in order
to hasten the advance. This is under
stood to be the reason why he recalled
ixird Methuen from Barkly West to
Kimberley.
The reason why a hot chase was not
made after Commandant Olivier is that
Lord Roberts did .not wish to wear out
the cavalry transport. General French
lost 3,000 horses in the relief of Kim
berley and the pursuit of General
Cronje. Lord Methuen has iost 1.500
transport cattle and probably 4.000
other animals since the forward move
ment began on February 12.
The advance around Bloemfontein
is through a barren country and sup
ply officers see an increased difficulty
for a great army moving along a sin
gle line of railway, even when the lat
ter is working smoothly and with am
ple rolling stock.

HASTINGS. Neb., March 31.—The
locker-Morey poisoning case came at
11:45 this morning when the Jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty,
after having been out but one hour.
State’s Attorney McCreary closed
his plea at 10 o'clock and Judge
Adams immediately instructed me
Jurors as to how they were to be gov
erned in forming the verdict. At 10:30
the Jury went out and the judge and
attorneys departed for various places
about the city, as they were under
the impression that the Jury would
r.ot report until after dinner. But af
ter having been out less than an hour
j the jurors had agreed upon the ver
I diet.
There were less than 300 people in
the court room when the jurors came
filing in. The defendant sat in her ac
customed place close to the jury box,
with her sisters on either side. A
I deathlike silence prevailed as the ver
! diet was handed to the judge and
| he began to read. Bach word that he
pronounced seemed to touch the heart
stirring chord of all as they waited
with bated breath until he said "Not
guilty."
Upon hearing these words Viola
Horlocker sprnng up with emotional
excitement, uttered a heart-rending
moan and sank to her chair in a
swoon. R. A. Batty, attorney for the
defense, drew the girl to his bosom
and the two wept tears of joy.
! As soon as Viola had sufficiently re
j tovered to stand her attorney escorted
; her to the jury box. where she stood.
: with heart throbbing, quivering lips
J and tears in her eyes. As the jurors
emerged from the box she attempted
' ot express her graiitude. but she
I could do nothing more than grasp
j them by the hand, as she was emo
tionally overcome. There were but
few women in the court room, but
most of those present came forward
to shake her hand and whisper words
of encouragement.
Mr. and Mrs. Morey were absent
fiom the court room when the verdict
was rendered.
The verdict was not unexpected, as
tne majority of the people felt thai
the defendant would be cleared or
tne jury would disagree. One of the
jurors said there was a missing link
ir the chain of evidence, as not one
of the witnesses had testified to hav
ing seen the defendant with a box or
package on the fatal day, and said he
would have stayed with the jury a life
time before he would have given a ver
dict to convict.
Judge Adams said that, considering
the testimony and the facts as offered,
he thought the proper verdict had been
rendered.
GOEBEL REWARD MONEY.

Paid for Con reunion*.
FRANKFORT. Ky„ March 31.—Ex
Chief Justice James H. Lewis, chair
man of the committee selected by tne
legislature to have charge of the Goe
bel reward fund, today made the fol
lowing statement concerning the story
sent out from Winchester yesterday
that Attorney James Andrew Scott
had proposed to relatives of H. F.
Youtsey to give him a portion of the
reward money for a confession of the
details of the conspiracy to assissinate
Governor Goebel.
“The money appropriated by the
legislature.'* said he. "to be used in
running down the assassins of Gov
ernor Goebel and bringing them to
justice will be distributed as provided
at the first meeting of the reward com
mission. so much for the assassin and
so much for the conviction of each
accessory.
“The preliminary work is in the
hands of Commonwealth's Attorney
Franklin and no private citizen has
authority from Mr. Franklin or from
the commission to ofTer rewards for
confessions of alleged accessories. Not
a cent of the $100,000 has yet been
spent and I think you can safely say
that not a dollar of it will be paid
foi confessions."

MANY AMERICANS AMONG THEM.
Fighting Men From Everywhere Flock
ing to Boer Standard.
NEW YORK. April 2.—A World
correspondent writing from Pretoria.
March 7, says: The Boer army has
thus far been strengthened by about
3.000 men who have come into the
country through Delagoa bay since the
war began. Three thousand is a low
estimate, but the exact number cannot
be ascertained, even from the war
office here, which is willing to tell al
most anything concerning the con
duct of the war. This large body of
men has been recruited chiefly in Eur
ope. where sympathy for the Boers
is second only to the hate of England,
but many men have come from Amer
ica. and even Australia. Ever since
the war began this steady stream of
fighting men has been pouring into
the Transvaal over the Portuguese
border, although the English officials
there have done everything in their
power to stop it.
Every train arriving from Lourenzo
Marquez brings from ten to fifty re
cruits and a short time ago such a
large number of men were clamoring
for transportation from the Portuguese
town that an extra train was run for
their accommodation.
POLYGAMIST OUT Of OffICE.
T. C. Graliam Superceded am Postmaster
at Provo, Utah.
WASHINGTON. D. C., April 2.—It
was announced at the postoffice de
partment that J. C. Graham had been
removed as postmaster at Provo.
Ttah. on March 28, and a temporary
successor in the person of Read Smoot
appointed in his stead. Mr. Smoot
was selected by the bondsmen of Gra
ham and will retain office until some
one is selected to take permanent
charge. Graham was removed as a
result of an investigation by «..ie house
pcstoffice committee on charges that
he was a polygamist. The committee
found that he was guilty as charged,
but exonerated the president and all
officials of the postoflice department
ot any knowledge that he was guilty
of polygamy at the time of his ap
pointment.
Negroes Denounce Boers.
PHILADELPHIA. April 2.—At a
session of the Delaware Mthodist
Episcopal conference, a resolution de
nouncing the Boers as slaveholders
was presented by Rev. F. H. Butler
and was unanimously adopted. The
conference is composed of colored
preachers and laymen of Delaware.
Maryland and a portion of Pennsyl
vania. The slavery complained of is
the present apprenticeship system in
vogue in the Boer republic.
New Trusts in Germany.
WASHINGTON. April 2.—Consul
General Guenther, at Frankfort, under
date cf January 29. writes to the state
department relative to a trust of soap
manufacturers formed last summer in
six of the Rhenish provinces, with the
object of establishing uniformity in
the prices of both hard and soft soap.
Certain methods employed in the en
deavor to force all manufacturers in
these provinces to join the trust have
resulted in legal complication.
In Paris there Is n wine shop for

(election* C«u«f Delay.
WASHINGTON. April 2.—Secretary
Root said that he had not changed
his mind as to the' possibility of safely
ieducing the number of American sol
diers in Cuba, but the postponement
of the Cuban elections for at least a
month beyond the date originally fixed
had made it advisable to delay corre
spondingly the diminution of the gar
risons. so that It might be well Into
the summer before the contemplated
reductions could be made.

The Russianr government has a man
ner peculiarly its own in the meeting
of emergencies. At present it is deal
ing witn the overproduction of medical
practitioners. The minister of educa
tion has simply issued a decree re
stricting to a fixed number the admis
sion of first year students by the sev
eral medical faculties throughout the
empire. The University of Moscow is
limited to 25U. Kief to 200, Charkow to
175, Dornat to 150. Tomsk to 120, and
Ka&an and Warsaw to 100. Thus the
total number of medical freshmen in
the domains of the czar cannot exceed
1,095. This number docs not. however,
include the students of the St. Peters
burg Medico-Military academy, which
is allowed 250 first year students.
