LONDON , May 18. England still valts with Intense and almost breath less Interest for news of the teller of Mafeklng. A crowd remarkable for the number of men hi evening dress nnd Including many women were around the War ollico , even after mid night , hoping for uomo announce ment. Only reluctantly did the people ple disperse when the lobbies of the War ofllco were finally cleared with the word that nothing had been re ceived. One thing seems clear , the town still holds out. Were it no so the Boer wires laid to tlie camps of the beleacucretl garrison risen would have passed the news. Reports from Lonrenzo Marqucz , based on reports that leaked out from the Pretoria war office , show that the Hoer stormers Saturday fell Into a trap. Colonel Baden-Powell permitted them to seize one fort and ho then surrounded and overwhelmed them be fore the large forces near at hand perceived the stratagem. It was thus that Sarel Eloff , President Krngcr's grandson , and part of his command were taken and many killed. The Canadian force with the Rho desia force Is now reported to have i cached Buluwayo , Muy 2. The dis i i tance from Uulmvnyo to Mafoking is 11)0 ) miles. As the railway is open all the way to Pltsanl. twenty-eight miles from Mnfcking , the Canadians may yet take part in the relief. In the committee room of the House of Commons this morning Sir James Kitson , member for Yorkshire , West Riding , Colne Valley division , an nounced that Mnfcking had been re- Moved. The War odlce , however , is unable to confirm the announcement. Replying to a question in the House of Commons , at 1:30 : o'clock this afternoon , the parliamentary sec- tetary of the AVar office. Mr. Wynd- ham , said lie regretted that he 'was not able to give any Information In regnvd to Mnfeking which would re lieve the anxiety of the nation about that beleaguered place. He reminded the house that even if the desired relief of Mafeklng hati occurred Intelligence of the event could not arrive in England before two. nnd possibly live days. The latter part of Mr. Wyndham's reply is generally accepted as an in dication that the government Is ex- peeling the relief of Colonel Baden- Powell and his garrison would occur about at the present time. 3H3 : p. m. The AVar olllce has re ceived the following dispatch from Lord Roberts : "KROONSTAD. May 17. Hunter has occupied Christinnia without op position , the enemy having retired to Klerksdorp , under the impression that the latter was threatened by a portion of tlie force from Parys. "Rundle's force was close to Cloco- Ian yesterday evening. The country was clear of the enemy. "The resident commissioner In Ba- sutoland reports that a number of Boers living In the Ficksburg and Bethlehem districts have applied to him for advice and as to the condi tions of surrender.

" Mr. Hurko called at the land ofllco to request that telegraphic Instruc tions bo sent to local land oillcers how to proceed under the new law concern ing sottlen * about to prove up. The ofllclals of the Interior department de clined to express an opinion as to the effect of the law until they have had full opportunity to examine it and in due time Instructions will be pre pared. Congressman Unrkc expressed the opinion that If settlers wish to make proof before the local ofllceni are given Instructions under the new law they may do so without making payment for lands as the old law pro vided , and that while such proof may not he accepted by the local otllclals , It will ultimately be accepted by the land commissioner.

Mtsy 21. The at torneys for the Standard Oil company have notified Chief Justice Xorval that they will ( lie exceptions to the decis ion of the suptomo court In sustaining the attorney general's demuner , the purpose of which wan to strike out cer tain portions of their answer In the Standard Oil trust cane. This is thought to lie a preliminary step to an appeal to the United States supreme court , where the constitutionality of the Nebraska anti-trust law will be tested. In the answer attacked by the attor ney general the point was raised that the law under which the suit was Insti tuted was contrary to the constitu tion. The attorney general asked to have this portion of the answer strlclc- en out and the court sustained him In his position. Should the case remain In the jurisdiction of the suptvmo court of Nebraska the question of fact In volved In the attorney general's peti tion would next be considered without going into any ntrtlier discussion of the constitutional phase. if the case Is appealed to the United States court the demurrer of the at torney general will again be considered and the decision of the slate court will probably be either afilrmeu or reversed. The exceptions have not been filed with the cTork of the court and noth ing Is known of their contents. Judge Norval was notified by telegraph that they would be filed and he notified Clerk Herd in ; i n of the fact. The 1'nnt I'll HO A YORK. Neb. . May 21. The termina tion of the Frost poisoning sensation is the principal subject discussed on the streets , business houses and homes. Mrs. Frost bus been released from jail. While It is supposed by many that the action of the coroner's jury is final , the county attorney can at any time cause her arrest if further analysis shows quantities of aconite and phos phorus sufllcient to cause death. If It were not for the fact that the jury was composed of the leading business men there would be some complaint over her release. Just what Mrs. Frost Intends to do or where she will make her future home is not known. The following is n report of the jury to the coroner : Yre , the undersigned jurors , who were summoned by you on April 27 , 1900. to hold an Inquest upon the body of Charles W. Frost , say that we have examined a large number of witnesses nnd caused an autopsy to be held ut which a portion of the body was re moved and placed In the hands of a competent chemist. The chemist has not yet submitted a complete analysis of the parts of the body so placed with him , and for that reason the jury is unable to complete its work and reach a verdict at the present time , and it will be necessary to adjourn the In quest until the final report nnd analy sis Is completed and submitted by the said chemist to the jury , and as sev eral days may elapse before that time , we therefore request that you , as cor oner. Instruct Mr. .1. H. Afllerbach , con stable , who has in his custody Mrs. Margaret Frost , to release her , and give her her liberty until the fur ther finding of tlie jury.

LINCOLN , Neb. , May Ifi. Looking backward over a period of forty-three years T. P. Kennurd of this city tolls of an interesting incident connected with the removal of the state capital from Omaha to Lincoln. " .lust forty-throe" years ago the 21th of April I left St. Louis by steamboat for Omaha. There wore no railroads through Iowa or Missouri In those days with the exception of a short road of a few miles up the Missouri river. It took us fourteen days to make the trip to Omaha , which was then but a straggling village of only about 1,000 or 1,200 Inhabitants. My recollection is that there was only one brick hotiso In the city and that was located about where the Omaha bank building now stands. 1 wanted to go to Do Soto , twenty-two miles up the river , and aa 1 couldn't get a conveyance of any kind , 1 had to walk the entire distance. It wil Iperhaps be Interesting to the younger citizens of Nebraska to know that Do Soto at that time contained three banks , ten or twelve stores ami had a population of from -100 to 500 nnd was a county seal. Today the place Is nearly vacated. In those days Do Soto was by all odds the largest and best town north of Omaha and was looked upon as a village with most promising prospects. "When I cnmo to Nebraska nobo/y expected to live to see Nebraska a state. They thought tills was a pretty good place In which to make something and then go hack to clvlli/atlon. It was the general Impression that none of the upland or land lying away from the streams could be cultivated and I remember that when the capital was located here In Lincoln the old Omaha Republican referred to the place as being 'on the confines of civilization , uninhabited and uninhabitable , except for coyotes , Indians and prnrlo dogn. ' 1 could have taken a homestead with in three miles of where the capital now stands , lint I was not sanguine enough of its poslsbllitics to avail myself at the opportunity. Wo all thought the laud west of the Illuo river would never be settled. Today land 150 miles west of this city stands better from an agricultural standpoint than did anything in this vicinity when the captol was located there. Taking this Into consideration no man is warrant ed In placing a limit upon the agri cultural possibilities in store for west ern Nebraska. Killed In FREivioNT , Neb. .
