THE BOERS INTRUDING fARTHER
Sheeper' Commando Invades Fart Here
tofore Undisturbed There Are 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
Scheeper's 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 Gazette's 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 Kitchener's 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 of 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 100,000 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 ami Chicago Linen Make Con-
cesHious 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 G cents to 7 % cents. They claim
that the increase of l1cents will re
lieve the discrimination and put flour
for export on a more equitable basis.
While this is true , to some extent ,
it probably wjll not satisfy the mill
ers.
They claim that by a recent ruling of
the interstate commerce commission
they arc permitted to hold grain rates
2 cents iower than flour rates. The
7cent rate Avill apply to all lake
ports. Fromthe Twin Cities to the
head , of the lakes the rate will be
cents.

less raised the arts and industries to

"A great deal of our success is at
tributable to the persistence and vi
tality of our own people and to the
people of the United States. There is
not a man in Cuba who does not feel
a profound sense of gratitude to the
United States and every one prays for
the continued progress and pre-emi
nence of the great republic. "

wood , representing the exposition com
pany ; F. B. Machada , special Cuban

AS TO THE BARTLEY PAROLE.
Gov. Savage States Conditions . Upon
Which It Was Based ,
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.Bartley's
retirement from ofHce he"maintained
that if given a year's 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 daj's after he surrendered
the office to his successor he paid in
over $150,000 , $20,000 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 hot 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 peopleof 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 my requirements as herein
set forth.
( Signed. ) EZRA K SAVAGE.

NEBRASKA CROP REPORTS.
Late Corn Continues to Show Improve
ment In Munt localities.
LINCOLN , Neb.Aug. . 31. James H.
Spencer , observer temporarily in
charge of the crop service , has issued
the following bulletin setting forth the
condition of the crops throughout the
state for the last week :
The week has been warm , with
light showers in most localities. The
daily mean temperature has averaged
6 degrees above normal throughout
the state. The daily maximum tem
peratures have ranged from 85 to 95
degrees.
The dry weather of the previous
*
week continued , except in a few small
areas , where an inch or more of water
fell. Nearly all sections , however ,
received light showers during the
week , and these have proved of some
benefit to late corn and pastures , and
where sufficiently heavy have placed
the soil in condition for fall plowing.
All sections are now in need of nin.
The warm weather of the .last week
has caused early corn to mature rap
idly. Considerable of the early plant
ed is being cut for fodder in a num
ber of southern counties. Late corn-
continues to'slfow some improvement
in most'localities.
Fall plowing is progressing rapidly
in the southeastern section ; in other
localities the soil is generally too dry
to plow , and this work s beng re
tarded. Reports indicate that a large
or an increased acreage of fall wheat
will be sown. Haying is nearly com
pleted in a number of northern coun
ties and the crop is good.
