THE BOERS INTRUDING FARTHER
Shecpera Commando Jnvndes Fart Here
tofore Undisturbed There Aro Plenty
of Friends It Is Said to Help Them
from All Sides
LONDON Aug 31 Some interest
ing sidelights are thrown on the
South African war by advices pub
lished today A dispatch from Cape
town to the Daily Mail indicates that
Scheepers command has now moved
to the southwest and invaded a part
of Cape Colony previously undisturbed
by the Boers while more severe re
strictions have been imposed with the
object of preventing communication
between Capetown and the newly dis
turbed areas
The Cologne Gazettes correspondent
in Capetown declares that the entire
Cape Colony is a seething mass of dis
order and alarm He asserts that
the Boers are receiving support from
all sides
Edgar Wallace writing to the Daily
Express expresses a decided opinion
that Lord Kitcheners banishment
proclamation will not result in the sur
render of- a single important com
mandant and that much severer pen
alties are needed the only useful pol
icy being- vigorous military measures
In the early part of August a corre
spondent of the Morning Express had
a long talk with Lord Kitchener from
which he gathered that it is not Lord
Kitchener but the government that is
to blame for many of the present
evils
Lord Kitchener it seems com
plained that the home government
continually worried him about trivial
details merely to reply to parliament
ary heckling and that this compelled
him to enforce a strict censorship over
telegrams although personally he ob
jected to the present system He said
he thought correspondents ought to be
given greater liberty and should be
held responsible for their statements
He avoided expressing any opinion
about the approaching end of the
war and dissuaded the correspondent
from speaking about it
Both the Morning Post and Stand
ard give the information as to the
concentration camps and confirm the
reports uf heavy mortality there es
pecially among the children in July
This is said to be largely due to
the ignorance and unsanitary habits
of the Boers but conditions are rap
idly improving At the beginning of
August there were 100000 persons in
the concentration camps A corre
spondent of the Morning Post asserts
that the Boer refugees got eighteen
pounds in rations per head as against
twelve pounds per head given to Brit
ish loyalists and he recommends as
politically and economically advisable
that the Boers be removed to the coast
WILL INCREASE GRAIN RATE
Twin Cities and Chicago Lines Make Con
cessions to the Millers
ST PAUL Minn Aug 31 Repre
sentatives of the Twin Cities Chicago
lines met here to take action on the
request of the Minneapolis millers for
relief from the present rate discrim
ination against flour in behalf of
wheat
The railroads agreed to increase the
grain rate Minneapolis to Chicago
from 6 cents to 7 cents They claim
that the increase of 1 cents will re
lieve the discrimination and put flour
for export on a more equitable basis
While this is true to some extent
it probably will not satisfy the mili
ars
They claim that by a recent ruling of
the interstate commerce commission
they arc permitted to hold grain rates
2 cents lower than flour rates The
7 cent rate will apply to all lake
ports From the Twin Cities to the
head of the lakes the rate will be 4
cents

excuse their offenses but asks the pres

AS TO THE BARTLEY PAROLE
Gov Savage States Conditions Upon
Which It Was ltased
LINCOLN Neb Sept 2 1901 As
more or less controversy has resulted
from my action in granting a limited
parole to Joseph S Bartley and as
I desire that the public may have
an intelligent understanding of the at
tending circumstances I will state
briefly the substance of the conditions
upon which such action is based
I was actuated in granting a parole
limited to sixty days because I had
knowledge that after Mr Bartleys
retirement from office he maintained
that if given a years time in which
to realize on his arrangements he
would be able to pay the state every
dolalr due it The fact in a space of
about forty days after he surrendered
the office to his successor he paid in
over 150000 2000 of which was
paid on the day of his arrest strength
ened both by his statements repeated
ly made to me that he would pay back
every dollar of his shortage and my
belief that if given an opportunity at
this time he would undertake to carry
out his promises with the object in
view of relieving the taxpayers and
of removing this painful account from
the pages of the records after four
years of expensive litigation from
which not one cent has been recovered
from either the principal or bonds
men I granted the parole with the un
derstanding on my part that he Bart
ley was to proceed to reimburse the
state and in addition was to render
an accounting of the funds lost in
banks from which he was unable to
recover which materially reduces the
amount published by the newspapers
as having been misappropriated Hun
dreds of people of various political
affiliations had petitioned me to grant
not a parole but a full and uncondi
tional pardon and among the peti
tioners were many of our oldest and
most respected citizens but I was un
able to justify in my own mind such
an act and granted a parole for sixty
days only conditioned as above stat
ed
I have given Mr Bartley an oppor
tunity to right the wrong and my ac
tion as regards the extension of fur
ther clemency in the premises shall
be conditioned solely upon his compli
ance with requirements as herein
set forth
Signed EZRA V SAVAGE
