J?EV YORK, March C. A dispatch to the
Tribune fmm London says: One of thu
results of the pnrlflcatlon of the Dutch dis
tricts of Capo Colony may be. the purchase,
of large numbers of horses from tho farmers.
Hut the remounts sent down nro believed to
be inadequate, fleneral Kitchener enn work
out tho transport problem to Pretoria If
anybody can do It. letters received from
officers at Capetown describe OcnernI Rob
erts as the (lower of courtesy nnd Kitchener
as a man of business. A staff olllcer of en
gineers told General Roberts that he could
do certain work assigned to him In the
course of n fortnight. "I am sure," said
(Icncrnl Roberts, "that you will do ns .well
ns you cnu."
Cleneral Kitchener nsked tho same officer
how much time he -would require for tho
Job. "A fortnight." was the answer.
Kitchener smiled grimly. "Either you
will do It In a week," he said, "or you
will bo sent home." The work was finished
In a week. It Is this tireless, exacting en
ergy of Kitchener's that Is putting Eng
land's work through In South Africa.
There nro no further detnlls of the con
ference of Presidents Kruger nnd Steyn
respecting peaco negotiations. South
Africans in London havo never ceased to
regard President Steyn as moro directly
respotiMblo than President Kruger for the
outbreak of the war, nnd they now nssort
that ho will be the first to suggest retire
ment from a hopeless conflict. Steyn In
their estlmntlon Is an umbltlous schemer
without Kruger's sturdy qualities and In
dexible will. South Africans hero nro con
lldent that tho Freo Stato forces will not
cross tho Vnal river for ttio defenso of tho
South African republic, but will withdraw
from tho conlllct and be ready to mnko
peace ns soon as their own capital Is oc
cupied and their territory overrun. Tho
ministers naturally win nreicr m iiuvu uiu
two republics Btand together, so that each
territory enn bo occupied in
turn and i
brought tinder mllltnry Inw. In this wny
a peace convention can be avoided with thu
political ugltatlon which will go with It both
In England and Dutch South Africa, When
ministers llko Mr. Chamberlnin forecast
peaco they doubtless havo in mind tho re
turn of tho burghers to their farms nnd the
disappearance of tho hostllo nrmles now in

WASHINGTON, .March C (Special Tele

of Nebraska Is to bo exerted at tomorrow's

much was learned through u populist con
gressman talking to a friend today. Tho

It will havo In tho state.

Congressman Neville said today that the

that Poppleton would win because It would
have n decided bearing on tho November
election. Ho nlso Hald tho election of United

from Douglan county In the legislature, nnd
for that reason it was essential that tho
fU8lonlHts should have control of the city

Is being said by tho populists hereabouts, j

of the light being put up to defeat Moores.

CHICAGO. March 5. Tho labor situation
in Chicago tcok on a new phase today. Tho
rapidity with which tho strike of the union
machinists has spread and tho apparent will
ingness of tho nonunion machinists to follow
tho cxnmplo of tho union men In laying down
their tools has mado tho labor leaders
rather apprehensive of tho strike heeomlng
unwieldy nnd President O'Conncll of tho In
ternational Association of Machinists said
today that for the present, at least, nonunion
strikers would not receive tho encourage
ment of tho union. Efforts will be mado to
confine tho troublo to union machinists nnd
sympathetic strikes will bo avoided until the
situation demands support of that character,
President O'Conncll also mado the statement
that no Btrlkes will be ordered among tho
machinists employed by traffic lines.
"It Is not tho Intention to nllow tho strlko
to Interfere with tho public convenience,"
said President O'Connell, "and I have Issued
strict orders to this effect.
"Union men employed hv all traffic lines,
not only tho railroads, but tho surface and
elevated roads In Chicago as wn'l, have been
told that strikes wilt not bo countenanced;
not only that, but If they walk out, I will
(111 their places Immediately."
About 200 machinists walked out of the
Illinois Steel company's plant nt South Chi
cago today, but 150 of them returned to work
at once, convinced that tho strike would be
a failure.
It was reported that tho company hid
about 100 men ready to tnko the places of
Htrlkors Immediately nnd this apparently had
a depressing effect. Troublo had been np
prehended nt this point nnd a large force
of pollco was on hand, but the strikers
left tho grounds soon after they laid down
their tools nnd no disorder occurred. Not
withstanding this fact, heavy rcaervo forces
aro being kept nt tho various pollco stn

The fusion machine engineering the Pop

If left to tho freo voto of the peoplo their

timidate Ignorant voters by nrrestlng a few
men fixed up by themselves to perpetrate
fraudulent registration.
Tho huo nnd cry raised by tho popocratlc
organ nbout alleged republican registration
frauds proves to bo simply a blind to cover
up tho outlaw work which tho fusion gang
of desperadoes Is doing.
That, too, Is tho explanation of tho war

criminal charges In tho samo connection

What foundation thero is for theso out
rages wns disclosed when a wnrrnnt sworn
out by the democrntlo fakirs was served
on a man nnmed Joyce, living nt the Wind
sor hotel, accused of registering, falsely
under the nccno of Judge.
"Why, I work for M. E. Smith & Co.."
said Joyce, "and Arthur Smith has been
doing all ho enn for Poppleton and 1 prom
ised him 1 would vote for Ponnlcton. Hut
I'll bo blamed If I'll do it now after a Pop- i
ploton man has mo arrested nnd thrown
into Jail for sticking up for him. A work-
lngman would bo a fool to voto for any
ono but Moores." I
It develops that Joyce did not attempt 1
duplicate registration, but ono of tho regis
trars did net catch his namo right, po that
It appears with one spelling on ono of tho
books nnd another spelling on tho others,
for which, of course, ho was not at fault.

Of n pleco with theso disgraceful exhibi

hend of ex-Captain Mostyn nnd ox-Captain
Haze, sworn in ns deputy sheriffs, spent
yesterday In going nround to tho boarding
houses In tho Third ward and threatening
to nrrest every Inmate who would daro to
voto nt tho election tomorrow. I
Under pressuro of tho Poppleton managers i
the democratic sheriff has commissioned as
deputies a goodly number of cx-pollcemen,
dropped from the forco for reasons not to
their credit, Including Slgwart, Keysor, Mos
tyn, Huzo nnd others, to overawe voters nt
tho polls today, and nt tho sumo tlmo act
as democratic workers. Never beforo In the
history of Omaha has the sheriff's ofTlce In
terfered with tho city elections, tho preser

wnys left to tho city police, except in cases
wherr they themselves should say that they
wero unablo to handle tho peoplo.

W'rniiK OneN.
DENVER, March G.--(Special Telegram.)
Ono murder nnd one falre nriest aro said
to bo tho resultB of a mistake nude by the
Plnkeirtons. Hob Curry was arrested at
Cripple Creek last Wedncsdftv and the same
day Lon C. gau, whllo trying to escnpo
airi'st, was shot nnd killed by Pinkerton
detectives nt Dodson, Mo. They arc nc
diced of being members of tho gang that
held up tho Union Paclllc train last June nt
Wilcox, Wyo. Hob Curry claims to bo able
to prove an alibi and much apparently good
evidence supports his clnlm.
According to tho story from Cheyenne, tho
gang which pcrpntratcd the robbery nnd
nfterward killed Sheriff Hazen consisted of
(liorgo Currle, Dutch Cassldy, Tom Dixon,
allf.s Tom Roberts, with thieo other fellows
whoso names cannot now bo mndo public.
Currle, Cassldy nnd Dixon hnvo been traced
to Arizona. Recently six of the $20 bills
taken nt Wilcox wore found In nn Arizona
town. Harvey Curry, Lon Curry and Hob
Curry, It Is claimed, arc In no wny related
to Oeorgo Currle, who spells his name dif
ferently. Hob Curry, who says hei Is Robert
Leo. Is now In Jail at Cheyenne. He sny3:
"I havo plenty of friends In Colorado and
Missouri. It's going to cost money, but I'm
going to establish an alibi nnd a good one.
Last Juno when thu robbery occurred I waj
mining nt Hlackhawk, Colo., for Judge
Spencer of St. Joseph, Mo. Assayer llur
llngame of Denver today Identified mo aR the
man that sold htm some gold on the Sth of
Inst Juno. I never was In Wyoming. 1
niH west somo years ngo from my home In
Missouri. My mother is living there."
If It turns out that Curry is Innocent a
new phase of tho caBO Is given to the wholo
mattor, particularly tho killing of Lon
Curry, or Logan. In Missouri, which may
prove to bo a mlstnko so fnr as tho train
robbery Is concerned.

If successful It will probably result lu pine

Cornish CiiIi'Iifm the Crmtil.
After tho band hnd quickened tho pulso
of tho audlenco with "Whistling Unfits" E.
J. Cornish captured tho crowd with ono of
his characterintle. speeches. Ho Bald ho was
In tho position of the young mnn who found
hj.i rlvnl embracing his sweetheart, end
when ho rcmOsistmlod nnd tihe denied the
soft Impeachment ho nssurcd her that ho hnd
seen It with his own eyes. Therouon tho
girl tremulously Inquired which ho wns pre
pnred fo bollovo first, his eyes or his dar
ling. That young man next morning began
taking treatment for his oyes.
Mr. Cornish declared that he sometimes
could not see things Just ns other repub
licans saw them, nnd it was then that bn
began taking treatment for his eyes. How
ever, ho had no respect for tho mnn who

j n man docs not agree with his party ho
' ought to change hlr, party, but ho should not
, dull tho tool which ho expects to uso 'nor
undennlno tho house In which ho expects

Ho cnllod attention to tho oppression of
tho black mnn In the south nnd wurned re
publicans lest their treatment of tho brown
mnn may bo used to Justify It. Tho repub
lican party still holds nil that we hold dear.
Its candidates nre lis representatives. Ho
personally mentioned each candidate, recit
ing his qunllflcntlons In n vein that brought
rounds of cheors. The soldier who fell while
fighting besldo Frank B. Moores nnd whose
soul is still marching on helped to mnko up
tho "sum total of republlcnnism.
Referring to Mayor Moores, ho said It was
not bis purpose to discuss tho chnrges
against him, but when on the night of elec
tion his opponents nro ntung by defeat, let
them letlre to their closets nnd discuss what
fuults In themselves or virtucB In him had
accomplished their defeat. Mayor Moorei
had been nominated for the good that Is In
him. The democrats had defined Hint good
when they referred to him ns a "mixer."
A mixer Ih a man easy In ovcry compnny
nnd In whose company nil men nro easy.
Ho pictured Mayor Moores' well-known
sympathy for nil who hnvo troubles or
grievances or cares, and when he declnrcd
that tho common people love him thern wer

"That'R no dreum."

After Jo F. llarton sang "A Thousand
Years, My Own Columbia." to u inpturous
hearing. Charles J. Oreene delivered tho
most Impassioned speech of tho evening. Ho
tot iurctj t tiu t there are a great many near
sighted people, who may havo been led to
believe that tho Issue In this enmpalgn Is
whether Frank E. Moores or W. S. Popple
ton shall bo mayor, but that Is not tho real
Issue.
"If you voto for Moores." said he, "you
voto to build up tho republican party. If
you vote for Poppleton you voto to weaken
it, anil you voto to htlgmatlze nnd dlsgraco
your own glorious party."
Ho dtow a striking comparison of tho re
publican party, always u combination of the
Chrlstlun and best elements, lu support of
the Declaration of Independence, and the
democratic party slnco 1890, when the brains.
Integrity and decency left It, leaving It only
rcpudlatlonlBts nnd without redeeming vir
tues In it. No republican can fall to cling
to his party uiiIcsb he is scared away from
It by tho cries of its enomles.
Tho method employed by the domncratlo
party In Its effort to break duwn the re
publican party Is by utilise, misrepresenta
tion nnd assaults upon tho administration,
upon Its policies nnd upon every man be
longing to or representing It. Ho Instanced
the iiBsaults mado upon those responsible
for tho recent glorlouB wnr with Spain and
declared that It has comn to tho tlmo when
It ought to bo nn endorsoment for u repub
lican nominee to bo'iiHsailoit by tho demo
crats. Thero Is no difference between this
campaign and every other campaign, and
he appealed to his audlenco to say If ,lt ha?
J been carried on by the dcmociuta with any
