LONDON , July 28. The attendance at th
trial of Dr. Jameson and hla associates wa
novcr so largo as today , and the grcntcs
interest was manifested In the proceeding !
The opening part of Lord Russell's suinniln
up , however , and his two hours' rccapltulo
tlon of the evidence was tiresome , nnd eve
Dr. JamcEon and the other defendants doze
at times. Sir Edward Clarke alone showc
no signs ot nervousness. As for the jur ;
composed with two exceptions ot elder !
men , there was no doubting that they wcr
bored. The ladles , ot whom there were
great number In the court room , fanne
themselves wearily whllo trying lo calc
glimpses ot the defendants. The defendant :
while the Jury was out , retired to the tc
room , where U-ey held a recopllon of the
lady acquaintances and relatives , all i
whom had high hopes of the acquittal of tl
prisoners. The Jury retired at 4:30 : and n
turned at 5:21 : , and the defendants wei
hastily summoned to take Ihelr places. Tl
judges came In live- minutes later and tl
jurymen gave an ulllrmatlvo answer to. a
the quesllons which had been propoundc
to them by Iho chief justice ; but they addc
n rider to Ihe eftccl that the dlsturbanct
nt Johannesburg wore provocative.
Lord Russell then directed that Ihelr al
Bwers were equivalent lo a verdict of guilt ;
The foreman said lhat Ihcy were not unau
mous upon that point , but his lordship n
peated his cxplanallon , and Ihe Jury Ihc
consulted logelhcr for about Ihrce mlnuti
nnd rendered a verdict of guilty. Dr. Janv
non and hla , codefendants were apparent ]
unmoved. Sir Edward Clarke asked tl
court's disposition to move for a new trio
"When the judges returned Sir Edward Clarl
said that In view ot the verdict rendered , tl
defendants refused to instruct for a no
trial , and expressed a desire to selllo U
case now.
In passing scnlcnce Lord Russell said tin
the verdict was given on evidence which i
reasonable man would be able to dlsregar
The defendants , ho added , were men of p
sltlon nnd Intelligence , holding posllloi
under the queen , and their crime had U
gravcsl consequences , including death i
Eome and Injury to others , while the futui
consequences of Ihelr crime no ono was y <
uble lo foresee.
Continuing , the lord chief justice said tin
although they all took part In the raid , tl
courl must distinguish between them In tl
punishment awarded for their due. 11
lordship then passed sentence upon the prl
oners. Dr. Jameson was sentenced to flftcc
mouths' Imprisonment without labor , Maj <
Sir John Wllloughby to len months , Maji
R. AVhlto to seven months , and Captain Hei
ley of Coventry , son of the carl ot Coventr
Captain R. Gray and Colonel F. While i
five months Imprisonment each. Dr. Jaui' '
eon , who had hllhcrlo hung down his hca
looked up proudly when Iho bcntcnco lu
been passed , and thu other defendants star <
hard at Iho lord chief juslice. .
Very soon after the sentencing formalltli
had been completed the wardens of Hollows
prison appeared and took up positions c
each side of the prisoners. This was tl
bitterest moment of all for the raiders , i
up to thai time they had been treated wll
the greatest courtesy , and had , In fact , bcc
made heroes to a certain degree. But wht
the elbows of the prison wardens touclu
those of the arlslocrallc freebooters the
seemed to realize lhat Ihe slrong arm i
the law had knocked all the romance 01
of the Transvaal raid , and thai , come whi
might In the shape of easy Ircatmcnt i
prison , they wore convlcls In Ihe eyes i
Ihe law and In the eyes of society , to sa
nothing of the military authorities , who ,
Is believed , must now take action lookir
to depriving the prisoners of their comml
Btons In the British army.
Then was enacted the last chapter In tl
trial of Dr. "Jim" and his associates. Tl
court wat ) ordered cleared , the audience file
slowly out Into the strccls and Iho prlsone
v/cro escorted to Holloway prison.
There was absolutely no demonstration 1
the court room when the prisoners wei
taken awny nor outsldo of It when tht
were escorted to the jail.
The sentences Imposed upon Dr. Jamcsn
nnd hla companions were very general !
discussed In the lobbies of Parliament t <
night. Contrary to the feeling manlfestc
by the fair spectators and the sympathlzin
friends In the court rooms the sentence
were lighter than were expected by me
In Parliament. It is recognized , howeve
that the sentences arc more serious froi
the military standpoint than the mere ten
fixed for their Imprisonment , since It Is c )
pccted that they will bo cashiered.

BERNE , July 28. The Grlndclwald cor

LONDON , July 28. The International So
clallst and Trades Union congress rcsumci
Ils session today at St. Martin's town hall
wllh Herr Singer , Iho well known Ocrmai
socialist , presiding. The credentials ot dl
the delegates who presented themselves fo
admission were closely scrutinized at th
door and several were rejected and th
bearers denied admittance. The Engllsl
section , which controlled the prollmlnar :
business , decided to exclude anarchists. Thl
action no eooncr became known to the an
archlsts on the outside than they becam
furious with rage , nnd , after fiery remark
from their leaders , they made a combine
rush for the doors ot the hall , overturns
the doorkeeper nnd poured Inlo Iho gallcrle
In spite of nil opposition. This caused
repetition ot Ihc exciting and slortny seen
of yesterday.
Tom Mann nnd James Klcr Hurdle , Ih
EnglUh labor leaders , spoke tn favo
of at least admitting Mr. Hynd
man. Their remarks were wlldl
applauded by the anarchlsls. Other Englts
labor leaders made speeches agalnsl admit
ling Iho anarchlsls. This broughl forlh
storm ot disapproval from the latter , durln
which a few blows and many angry word
were exchanged among the foreigners , wh
could hardly he prevented by the mor
peaceful men from engaging in a gencrc
free fight. Eventually orders were give
to put out the disturbers ot the pcaco an
when Homo show of doing so was mad
something llko order was once rcoro re
stored and the debate was resumed.
After speeches for and against the a < !
mlttanco ot anarchlsls It was agreed thn
properly accrcdllcd anarchists , Includlu
Louise Michel , should be permitted to b
present at the debate. After several hour
ot additional discussion the congress , votln
by nationalities , upheld the Zurich resoh
tlon by IS'/i to 2' , the effect of which Is t
exclude anarchists from the congress.
During the voting there was another seen
ot the grcalcst excitement. Fierce shoutln
nnd yelling , mingled wllh scutillng an
Ihreatcnlng , prevailed among the foreigner !
and probably served as much as anythln
else lo harden Ihe hearts ot the EngllsV
men against admitting the anarchist eU
ment to the deliberations of the Interm
tlonal Socialist and Trades Unions cor
grcss.
When the congress reassembled afte
lunch Ihc members of the American sectlo
objected to the presence of a delegate froi
the New York Hack Owners union on th
ground that ho belonged to the middle clasi
The delegate protested against this treal
merit , reminding Iho assemblage lhal h
had come 3,500 miles lo vole nnd lhal Ih
members of Ihe New York Hack Owner
union were worklngmen , as Ihey drove Ihel
own cabs. He also threatened to go bac
to the United States and lell Ihe pcopl
there how he had been trealed.
After further discussion. It was decide
amid cheers , to admit this delegate an
the congress again adjourned In dlsordei
arising from the question whether Ml
Jnurcs , Lllleraud and Vivian , the Frenc
socialists , should be allowed to vote In th
congress. Several of the dclegales objeclc
lo Ihelr presence , declaring that the me
mentioned did not represent the Frcnc
peasants were not properly accredited.
M. Jatires succeeded In making a spccc
during which he tried to prove to th
delegates that he was justified In votln
and a vote in regard lo hie admission wa
about lo bo taken when there was anothc
uproar and a French woman mounted
lable and commenced a fiery harangue. He
remarks , however , were Inaudlable amid Ih
general din caused by the scores of repeate
disputes which had arisen on all sides.
Finally Herr Singer , the chairman , aftt
strenuous endeavors to restore order , at
journed the congress In disgust.

Now that the alignment- the grca
political parties Is nearly completed thi
day of the campaign managers begins. Tin
general understanding that Nebraska Is ti
be the battlcgiound ot the opposing force ;
In the coming campaign lends partlculai
Interest to the plans of the leaders. Tha
some of the best speakers nt the contmani
ot each national committee are to stump thi
state during the next four months lift !
been previously announced , but this Is enl ;
ono feature of the campaign. The largi
mass meetings , addressed by men ot na
ttonal reputation serve to Infuse enthusl
asm Into Ihc ranks , but It Is on the ex.
tensive nnd comparatively secret systen
ot state , county and precinct organlzatloi
that the leaders depend for the most cf
fcctual service.
In Omaha and Douglas counly Ihc flgh
will bo hottest and the leaders on botl
sides are already perfecting their plans fo
the hatllo. Chairman John Lewis ot th
county central committee opened campalgi
headquarters In Ihe New York Life build
Ing yesterday morning. The rooms nro tin
same that were occupied by the friends o
General Mandcrson earlier In the year
They are sltualed on the first lloor , direcll ;
nt the right of the entrance , and are mos
admirably adapted for the purpose. Th
visitor enters a large lobby which Is com
moiIlouK enough to accommodate an ordl
nary nollttcal meeting , and laler on thl
will bo seated to accommodate a couple o
hundred psople. At the left Is unothc
large space shut oft by a steel grating ovc
a , wide counter , which will be used for 111
roullno business of Ihe committee , and fror
Ihcse rooms open Iho private offices , whicl
will be occupied by the chairman , secre
tary and executive committee.
Chairman Lewis will not bo able to glv
his entire time lo politics and In a day o
two ho will Install a capable man as man
ager. After lhal he will spend a part o
his tlmo at headquarters and give genera
direction to the campaign. For the prcsen
the work of the committee will bo con
fined to perfecting the ward and count
organization. Large campaign clubs ar
now organized In every ward and these wll
be combined In a central McKlnley organl
zatlon. through which the committee wll
be able to keep In touch with the sltuatlo :
all over Ihe counlry.
The general plan ot campaign may no
be settled for some days. Chairman Pea
of the slale central commltleo and Senalo
Thurslon went lo Chicago jcslcrday morning
where they will confer with Mark Hannii
and his BUggesllons will doubtless hav ,
something to do wllh Ihe local sltuallon.
The demopops are sllll at sea. As IhcI
stale ccnvenllon has not been called n
definite plans have been formulated. Chali
man Smyth ot the state central commute
said yesterday morning that there would b
a meellng of Ihe committee at the Lincol
hotel , at Lincoln , Thursday night , at whir
plans will be discussed and some dcflnlt
Una of action determined upon. It Is nc
unlikely that the state convention will b
called at that time. It will probably folloi
soon after Iho populist convention , whlc !
meets at Hastings , August 5. Mr. Smyt'
expects that the democratic conventio :
will endorse the nomination of Governo
Holcomb for a second term by the , , popu
llsls. Allhough it Is not definitely under
stood that Ihls will be done Iho genera
feeling , as nearly as ho can learn , Is i
favor of such aclton , in splto of the refus.i
of the St. Louis convention to rccognlzo Ih
democrallc candidale for vice president. I
Is the Intention of his committee to mak
a desperate fight all over the state and t
leave no stone unturned that may assist I ;
turning over its electoral vote to Bryan.
Thursday evening the John L. Wcbste
club of this cily will hold a republican rail
In Boyd's Ihcaler. A. C. Foster will pr
side and Hon. John L. Webster will mak
Iho principal address of Ihe evening. H
will discuss the money question. Hon. J
H. MacColl and other state candidates wll
be present. The music will be furnished b
the Seventh ward band and ( jucrtct club.
The quesllon of a change of quarlers wll
bo discussed by Ihe Thurslon Republlca :
club at Its regular meeting this evening
J. E. Market has offered the club the use o

the offer will probably be accepted. The mat

Nevada to the St. Louis convention , Messrs
Nixon and Davis , en route home , etoppeel
oft hero to consult with Mr. Bryan , doubt
less upon his probable course In relation te
the populist nomination , Mr. Bryan has re
cclvcd n number of telegrams containing
suggestions In regard to the action o > f tin
populist convention , and to all of them h <
responded , In effect , that he will act will
deliberation and that nothing will be doiu
which can bo justly criticised by nny o :
the elements who arc sincerely Intcrrstcc
In the success of the cause of bimetallism
In his replies to these expressions IK
earnestly advises all friends of the caus <
In all parties to refrain from harsh crltl
clsm of Ihose who , however widely thcj
may differ , otherwise occupy commoi
ground , desiring the Immediate rcstoratloi
of free coinage of silver.
Mr. Bryan expresses Iho ulmost con
fldcnco that a wise mid gratifying solutlot
( ft Iho perplexing conditions will be pro
aentod nnd adoplcd In duo and good tlmi
nnd lhat Ihc solution will bo bolh honor
able and sallsfactory to all parties. Fur
thcr llinn this Mr. Bryan declines to tall
In relation to the situation. Every Inqulr ;
calculated to fathom hip plans or purpose ;
met vlth the simple response : "I must dc
rllne lo be Interviewed concerning the St
Louts cemvcnllon or Its rcsulls. "
However , his loquacity In olhcr dlrcc
tlons was not so circumspect , and he let
plenty of material for entertaining dls
course. "I have received , " he said
"another rabbit's foot. U was sent to mi
by a telegraph operator. That makes tin

four-leaf clovers and n horseshoe. I wroti

Holcomb , Senalor Peltlgrcw said : "This i
my flrsl visit to Lincoln , , although I hav
often passed Ihrcoigri"lhev city. It Is , in

ot nole , Inasmuch as 11 has two presides
tlal candidates , both 'ofvhom are prohibl
tlonlsts. Things are looking bright fo
Mr. Bryan. Allhough heis , , a young ma :
he has made a deep impression among In
telllgent voters. As the country Is rapid !
growing In favor of free silver he Is boun <
to poll a tremendous vote. Such a man a
ha is cannot but command the respect o
thinking pcoplo and from now on ho wll
grow In strength. " The senator said h
should return at once'to his-homo In Slou
Falls , where a Bryan blowout Is booked fo
tomorrow night , and at which he Is blllci
to speak.
Benton Marct , prlvale secrclary to "Gov
ernor Holcomb , arrived hero last night fror
St. Louis. Ho was a delegate to the sll
vcr convention In that city. In his oplnloi
Ihero will arise no Inconvenience over th
fact of two vlco presidential candidates 01
the democratic tickel , as Iho elecloral tlcke
in Nebraska , ho believes , will bo compose' '
of about equal proportions of populists , fre
silver democrats and bolting free silver re

go the whole ticket and trust to luck fo

tiers creek. Ordinarily , Iho run , which
Hews Ihrough n volley banked by high and
sleep hills , would scarcely flout a chip , but
last night a cloudburst filled In Its closely
confined quarters to such an extent that
everything along Its banks was endangered.
There were thirteen people in the McKlnney
house when the .water commenced to rise ,
at 9v,0 : last night , but no serious danger
was apprehended until the men busied
themselves carrying the household goods to 4
the second floor and the female portion of
llio household continued their dressing for ;
the dance which was being held In a neigh- i
boilng hall. Suddenly the house , a two-
story frame , was washed from Its founda
tion Into the seething waters nnd rapidly
carried down stream. It was then too late
for any ono In Iho house lo escape.
BRAVE MEN SUFFER.
Below the slto of the houso. about 200
yards , stands an old-fashioned country
biidge , which spans the stream. The house
crashed against the structure , the root was
lorn oh' , and Iho

crushed llko an eggshell in being forced
under Hie bridge. Hlgglns and William
Whltncr were caught between the first and
second floors. Hlgglns died there , bul Whlt-
ner niado a miraculous escape. Those on
the second floor were badly 'aqucezed. Just
below the bridge the wreckage ot the house
struck on a sandbar , wllh these of the party
who were still alive , clinging lo the pieces.
Thomas Hayes , Vincent Wilkinson and
others formed a rescuing party. Whltner
was rescued while fast In the wreckageby
Wilkinson , who also dragged the dead body
of Hlgglns from Its lodgment. Samuel Mc
Klnney was also saved by Wilkinson. After
assisting In other rescues. WUklnson heard
a crv for help from up stream , and. not
withstanding the cxlremc hazard attached to
the attempt , the b-jave fellow made the effort
to swim across with a rope. . When about
half way over a log struck him on the head

several hundred yards below the place In a

Those few ot Iho parly who were rescued
