' LONDON , Dec. 22. William T.
Stead has just returned from The
Hague , where he had a long confer
ence with Mr. Kruger and ascertained
at first hand the views of Mr. Kruger
and his counselors as to the present
situation and future prospects. Mr.
Stead has written the following for
the Associated P'ress :
"First of all , nothing is decided
about his visit to America at present.
President Kruger has not abandoned
all hope of securing the support of the
governments of the civilized world in
his demands for arbitration. Until
the last government refuses absolutely
to say a word in support of the prin
ciples which they solemnly laid down
at The Hague conference Mr. Kruger
will not partake in popular demonstra
tions. It is recognized that if he cared
to do so he could shake the continent.
The popular enthusiasm for him is un
paralleled since Garibaldi's visit to
London , but until his diplomatic mis
sion is exhausted an appeal to the
people cannot even be taken into con
sideration. Mr. Kruger is emphatic in
disclaiming any desire to involve oth
er nations in war in behalf of the
Boers. What he asks is that the gov
ernments , which at The Hague declared
their intention to use their efforts to
'secure amicable settlement of disputes
by means of mediation and arbitration ,
should make a united effort to bring
the verdict of the civilized world to
bear on Great Britain.
" 'The English , ' Mr. Kruger said , are
waging this war ia South Africa like
savages. They are burning homes , de
stroying dams , cutting trees , devastat
ing fields and creating famine. They
are unable to capture Dewet , but they
are making prisoners of women and
children , who are not treated with or
dinary decency. Hundreds of women
have been confined in prison Krall ,
near Port Elizabeth , with only one
chair , and several of them are expect
ing to become mothers. '
"Mr. Kruger avers that the provi
sions of the convention at The Hague
'and the laws and usages of war are
trampled under foot and he wants to
know whether the signatories of this
convention have anything to say on
the subject : .
"The man on horseback at this mo
ment is not Mr. Kruger , but President
Steyn. He , Delarey and Dcwet are
masters of the situation , having a
better disciplined and more effective
force than that which followed the
vierkleur ( flag ) at the outbreak of the
war. They have plenty of ammuni
tion and replenish their store continu
ally from the British convoys. They
have taken enough Lee-Metford rifles
to arm all the burghers now in the
field. I cannot put their position bet
ter than in the words of one of Mr.
Kruger's counselors. 'England is our
accused. England is the sole witness
against us. England is the judge.
England is the executioner and Eng
land hopes to profit by our death. We
appealed for arbitration before the
war. We are fighting for arbitration
today. We have the right to expect
the sympathies of the civilized world. '

DETAIL STORIES Of MASSACRE.
Horrible Atrocities Said to Have Ueon
Perpetrated by Turks.
NEW YORK , Dec. 22. A dispatch
to Journal and Advertiser from Vienna
says : Further reports of the Turkish
massacres of Christians show that their
instigator is a Mohammedan fanatic
named Haiduk Islam , -who brags of
having slain 200 Christians with his
own hands. The Turkish authorities
have shown utter indifference of the
outrages and those being perpetrated
on Chritsians are beyond description.
At Bituch men were cruc fied on treeg
with stakes driven through . their
hands and feet. Women were attacked
and then mutiliated. Children were
murdered by mutilation before their
parents' eyes. Women were mal
treated at Grumma before the eyes
of their husbands , brothers and fa
thers and then carried into the bondage
of harems. Men were tortured to
death slowly by various means , their
limbs cut off successively and children
were thrown into the river.
The fiends tortured the Christians
at Riharitz by slicing flesh from all
parts of their bodies before killing
them. A Greek orthodox priest was
tied in a sack and pitched Into the
river at Genovitza. The Servian con
sul at Mitrovitza estimates that 1,100
persons have been killed and 400 wo
men attacked and placed in harems.
CONGFR INSTRUCTED TO SIGN.
Agreement Not Exactly to American Lilt
ing , hut Delay is Dangerous.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 22. An in
struction will again go out today to
Mr. Conger at Pekin to sign the agree
ment which , according to Pekin ad
vices , already has been signed by all
of the other ministers at the Chinese
capital. This instruction is sent With
some reluctance because the agree
ment as it now stands does not com
pletely represent the view cf the Unit
ed States government. But it is be
lieved to be the most favorable com
promise that could be reached unless
negotiations are to be drawn out to a
dangerous length , for all reports indi
cate a growing spirit of unrest in Chi
na , owing to the absence of any form
of native government in Chi L.I and the
adjacent provinces. So the United
States accepts the "irrevocable" condi
tion imposed upon the Chinese gov
ernment , though , after all , this ex
pression is rather a matter of form
than of substance , for diplomacy
knows no such thing as "irrevocable
agreement. "

Constitutionality of State Act to Be Sub
ject to Legal Test.
LINCOLN , Dec. 24. The .constitu .
tionality of the state irrigation act will
be subjected to a legal test before tire
supreme court next month. The court
recently handed down a decision which
was believed at the same time to be a
deathblow to the irrigation interests
of Nebraska , and an effort will be made
to secure either a reversal or a modifi
cation of that opinion. The decision
was in the case of the Crawford com
pany against Hathaway and others ,
appealed from Dawes county.
The case will be brought to the at
tention of the court for sscond consid
eration by Attorneys J. W. Deweese
and J. S. Kirkpatrick of this city , who
will appear as friends of the court in
behalf of the irrigation interests of
the state , but not as attorneys for
either party in the original action.
Leave was granted to file the motion
and the document prepared by the at
torneys was presented. The court is
asked to reverse or modify the judg
ment ; to decide the constitutionality
of the irrigation statutes in their re-
laion to the creation of the State
Board of Irrigation ; to adjudge and
determine to what extent the irrigation
laws modify or abrogate riparian
rights , and to adjudge and determine
whether the right of Leroy Hall , ap-
pelle in. the Crawford company case ,
to maintain a dam upon and to use
the waters of White river for power
purposes has been acquired by pro
scription or as riparian owner or pro
prietor. ,
The court will .listen to argument
on these questions at the sitting be
ginning January 2.
Nebraska vs the B. & V [ , R. R.
LINCOLN , Dec. 24. The action of
the supreme court in overruling the'
motion of the attorney general for a.
rehearing of the case at the State of.
Nebraska against the Burlington railroad - *
road , has removed all possibility of
prolonging the existence of the Statef
Board of Transportation under its pres
ent organization. According to the decree - |
cree of the court the life of the board
came to an end when the motion was
overruled and , therefore , the salaries
of the three secretaries and other em- ;
ployes stopped at the same time. Sec
retary G. L. Laws said regarding the' ,
matter. "My opinion is that we are ;
knocked out , but there is still a pos-i
sibility of reorganizing the board under
the act of 1885 , which may have been
revived by the decision of the court. ,
That act provides for a board , consisting - '
ing of the auditor , attorney general-
and secretary of state , and allowed
each member to appoint his own sec
retary on condition that the three be !
chosen from the Frst , Second and'
Third districts respectively. If the ,
law of 1885 is still in force there might
be a reorganization , but I am not prepared - ' .
pared to say so positively. "

tee and to become its especial advo
cate on the floor of the senate. "
The bill referred to is an act to pre
vent the fraudulent sale of oleomar
garine.

LINCOLN , Dec. 22. "Returns from
the creameries of the state show that
9,093,706 pounds of creamery butter
were manufactured in Nebraska in the
year 1900 , the greater per cent of
which found a market outside the
borders of our state , " said Secretary
Bassett. "It is estimated that G,000-
000 pounds of dairy butter or farm
butter produced in this state has ,
under the commercial term of ladle
butter , been shipped to markets out
side the state , making the exported
butter product of the state for the
year approximately 15,000,000 pounds.
This amount is but a small percentage
of the butter which might bs produced
for export from the state or that would
be produced if fraudulent imitation
products were compellec to be sold on
their merits and honest butter had
only fair and legitimate competition
in the open market. "
