Among the sena tors who arc expected to engage in the .’is. usston arc Messrs. Burrows. Quarles and Platt of Connecticut, all of v, horn oppose the seating of Mr. Quay. Mr Burrows will speak today. The Indian appropriation bill will • •ntinue to receive attention until dis posed of. hut it is not expected to oc . : sion a great deal more of debate. Senator Carter hopes to proceed with the consideration of the Alaskan code bill early in the week with the hope of securing action at an early date. There are still some differences pertaining to mining rights to be adjusted in this measure aud more or less discussion necessarily will precede their deter mination. The appropriation bill for »he District of Columbia probably will M* considered during the week. On Wednesday Senator Lodge will i.sk the senate to vote upon the Philip pine temporary measure, but he does not expect to accomplish more than to get a day fixed for the vote. There Is apparently no disposition to debate this Mil to any great extent, but an ob j»ction is likely to be entered to a vote at this time. The republican senators are disposed to crowd on all possible sail with the view of securing early adjournment, and to this end will seek to get early action on appropriation bills and on other necessary legislation. The demo crats apparently are disposed to fall in with this idea, and they. too. ex press a desire to get away early in the summer.

FRANKFORT. Ky„ April 9—The gjand jury will continue the investiga tion of the Goebel assassination during this week. About forty witnesses have been examined so far and it is said that more than that number are on ttie list of those summoned wno have not yet been heard. No report is expected be fore the latter part of the week. It is said that the names of several the facts alleged and relied on by contestees and admitted by de niurrer and 1 am firmly convinced from admitted facts that the legisla ture in the heat of au, .r, engendered j by intense partisan excitement, has ; done two faithful, conscientious and able public servants an irreparable j injury by depriving them of the office to which they were elected and a still greater wrong to the large majority i of the electors who voted under diffi cult circumstances to elect these ser- i vants. "But we are met at the threshold with the contention that the courts J of the state under the constitution have j no power to go behind the legislative journal and review the judgment of the assembly in the proceedings over which they are given bf the constitu- j tiou exclusive jurisdiction and Trom 'whose determination of the question no appeal is provided. I have been led with some reluctance to the conclusion, and not without some misgivings as to its correctness, that there is now j power in the courts of the state to review the findings of the general as- - sembly in a contested election for the offices of governor and lieutenant gov ernor as shown by its only authenc- j iated records. Many question have been raised and discused by counsel tor the appellants, but it will be un necessary to consider taem in view oi the conclusion we have reached on this fundamental question."

They said they wanted to go to a warmer climate. The immigra tion authorities are becoming alarmed at the movement, as it is said the whole colony will leave in the course of two or three years. The colonists have made little progress since set tling in Manitoba, as they do not like the climate and know little or nothing ■ about farming. INTO A TRAP AGAIN. Five More Companies of llrttisli Infantry Caught by liners.1 LONDON. April 7.—The Bloemfon j tein correspondent of the Morning '1 el ! egraph today says: “The Boers are apparently making ! an attehipt to redeem their promise | to take Bloemfontein. A considerable ! force has moved south through Thaba Nehu. General Tucker’s isolation at Karee is more apparent than real, since the open ground north of Bloem fontein offers small opportunity for Boer tactics. They may possibly en gage him to distract attention from operations elsewhere. Remounts are anxiously awaited." LONDON. April 7.—Lord Roberts reports that five companies of British troops have been captured by the Boers near Bethany. The following is the text of Lord Roberts’ dispatch to the war office: “BLOEMFONTEIN. Thursday. April 5.—Another unfortunate occurrence lias occurred resulting. I f-'ar. in the capture of a party of infantry con sisting of three companies of the Royal Irish Fusileers and two compa nies of the Ninth regiment of mounted infantry near Reddersburg. a little eastward of Bethany railway station, within a few miles of this place. They were surrounded by a stronger force of the enemy with four or five guns. “The detachment held out from noon April 3 until April 4. 9 a. m., and then, apparently surrendered, for it is reported that the firing ceased at that lime. Immediately after I heard the news, during the afternoon of April 3 I ordered Gatacre to proceed from Springfontein, his present headquar ters, to Reddersburg with all possible speed and I dispatched the Cameron Highlanders hence to Bethany. He arrived at Reddersburg at 10:30 yes terday morning without opposition, but tould get no news of the missing de tachment. "There can be no doubt the whole party has been made prisoners.’’ ENGLAND IS Al ARMED AGAIN. Wondering Whether l.ord IlohertM Can Maintain Ilia Communication*. LONDON, April 7.—Not a word re garding the disaster at Reddersburg has come through, except the dis patch of Lord Roberts. Meanwhile the British public is beginning to realize the immense difficulties to be over come even before Preroi'ia is reached and is revising premature ideas with respect to the time at which the war will be over. No one believes that it will have ended by the beginning oi June. The latest disaster more particularly illustrates the heavy tasa involved in holding the railroad. This body of some 500 British troops, without gnus, which disappeared so completely with in thirty-five miles of the great British army, had for its business to guard a section of nearly ninety miles of rail way between Bloemfontein and Spring lontein. If it could thus be spirited away, how is Lord noberts to ensure his continually extending communica tions? Cther pertinent questions are being asked as a result of these successive untortunate occurrences. The fore most is. Why do not the British troops entrench? It is argued that if this had been done even 500 men might have held out until reinforcements anived. It cannot be concealed that the utmost alarm is beginning to be felt. It is said that the Boers who cap tured the British at Reddersburg be longed to Olivier's commando. If so he has not returned north, and hopes arc expressed that he may still be cut ot.\ It is asserted that 4.000 rebels surrendered during General Clement's noithward march. The Boers will do their utmost to hold I^idybrand and Thaba Nchu. both being rich grain producing districts. VERMONT WILL BE E0R BRYAN. Committeeman Says Dewey Cannot Have Hi* Home State. NEW YORK.

TORTIRE AMERICAN CONSUL Pern Called In Account for Action of Revolutionist*!. NEW YORK.

In sworn statement which he has filed with the department Gottfried as serts that he was seized by Peruvian revolutionists in the summer of 1898 and subjected to torture, in addition to which his house was sacked and de stroyed. The revolutionists demanded that he produce 5.000 soles (between $3,500 and $4,000) and twenty-five rifles with in fifteen minutes, or submit to chas tisement in what is termed in Peru the "flying stocks.” When he said he was unable to comply with the de mand he was knocked down by a blow from a gun and overpowered. His thumbs were tied together with thongs and his hands twisted back of his head. Heavy rifles were inserted be tween the inverted elbows and his head, and in that position he was strung up. In a short time the ago nizing pain rendered him in«cnsible. The torture was resumed until Gott fried agreed to the demands made upon him. Gottfried has filed an itemized statement of the damages he sustained and they approximate 260.000 soles. Fortune as Duty. NEW YORK.
