. Marrell Talks of Hla FIIM.
For the first time since his return to St.
Louis, last Friday, John K. Murrell talked
to several close friends about his flight
from the city and the causes that led him
to come back. Shortly after Slgmund I.
Kramer qualified for $25,000 on Murrell'a
bond, the former member of the combine,
who has turned state's evidence, made this
statement to one of hla Intimate friends:
The penitentiary could not hold as many
terrors for me as being a fugitive from Jus
tice. My own mental anguihh and my wife's
aprrme jiugni in t. iouie, where she
w deserted by those who had promised to
aid her In my absence, were the causes
that prompted me to come back and divulge
all. After my Indictment I did not have
any Idea of going away until the evening
of March 16, when Julius Lehmann and
John Helms came to me and said I bad
better get out.

"We'll send you money while you're
gone," they said, "and eCe that your wife

a leading hotel and went over to EI Paso
frequently. While In El Paso Julius Len
mano came down to see me. Instead of
bringing me money, however, Lehmann
borrowed 110 from me. I had exp cted
some remittance from the gang and then I
began to realize that they were apt to
throw me.
I continued to receive letters from the

The rescinding-of the decision to aaa a
portion of the Transvaal to Natal.
Granting an extension of time for the
Payment of all debts due by the burghers
o the late governments of the South
African republics.
Proposals Surprise Chamberlain.
Mr. Chamberlain, In replying, expressed
great surprise at the number and character
of the proposals, pointing out that the con- .
dltlons agreed upon at Vereenlging were
duly accepted by the burghers and the Brit
ish government and that they could not be
reopened nor could proposals rejected at
the time be again discussed. It the Inter
pretation of the agreement was open to
qneatlon, his majesty's government would
endeavor to remove all doubts.
At the opening of the conference the Eoer
generals disclaimed any desire to alter the
terms of surrender In any way. On the
subject of amnesty to rebels. General Botha
expressed disappointment that, after ' the
promise given by Lore Kitchener, the rebels
had not been granted amnesty at the t me
of King Edward's coronation. In reply to
which Mr. Chamberlain promised that the
imperial government would not hinder any
generous Intentions of the governments of
Natal and Cape Colony in regard to rebels).
Relt la Made Exception.
As tu the return cf bursssrs to Sesth
Africa,- the colonial secretary declared tt
waa the government's Attention to retain the
right to prsvent the return of disloyal per
sons who had not frankly accepted ths
terms of peace, Instancing former 'State
Secretary Relts of the Transvaal as case
In point, and saying, that Mr. Rett was
using language on thgjcontlnent inconsist
ent with the declaration he had slfned at
Vereenlging. ..?
General Botha said he hoped that the
"sins of one man -would not be visited on
others,'.' adding, "If one man says foolish
things let blm suffer "therefor alone,"
' Mr, Chamberlain . Miferraed the generals
that there waa no truth In the report, that
the government Intended to sell farms be
(oOftlng to burghers. Regarding 'noma
farms sold-in the Orange River Cojony,
tinder the proclamation of amnesty pf 1901,
Mr. Chamberlain promised that the' farms
bought by the government would Je re
transferred to their former owners.
General Botha criticised the composition
of the commission appointed to allot the
grant of ' $15,000,000 for the 'purpose of
assisting burghers and their families to re
turn to ineir nomes ana ror restocKing
their farms, etc., and objected 'to national
scouts serving as commissioners, but Mr.
Chamberlain maintained that the govern
ment must be true to those who supported
it.
Boers Are) to Leave Ratal,.' "
Relative to the transfer to Natal of part
of the Transvaal, General Botha said the
burghers proposed to trsk therefrom. He
lived there, but fee saw no chance '.of re
maining, the feeling of the British in
Natal being so strongly anti-Boer.
On the subject of martial 4awv Mr Cham
berlain said it would '- Hot -be continued
much longer. J
The colonial secretary refused to recog-
nlie, as burghers, foreigners who had been
naturalised during or Just before the war,
saying they had been bribed by the reso
lution of the Volkaraad giving burghers
rights as a reward, .for taking, part in a
conflict in Which the Were! -not concerned.
Oeneral Botha cbncluded 'with an appeal
for the widows and orphan, and aald he
considered, that the appropriation of $15,
000,000 was inadequate, ' ; i"
Referring to this Mr.-Chamberlaln com
pared Great Britain's treatment 'of the
Boers with the treatment ef. the south by
the north after the civil war in America.
"I would remind the general," aald Mr.
Chamberlain, "that what we have under
taken is under similar circumstances. To
take ons case In- my time. ' I recollect
very well the great civil war In America,
and I appeal to that, because that stands
out as a case In' which more' than ever be
fore, or Indeed ever since, the victor, the
conqueror, showed. a magnanimous and gen
erous feeling to the conquered. There was
good reason for this, because they were
brothers of the same race, the aame rs It
Ion, the same everything. It 'was a civil
war, but even In that case, the northern
aide, that is to say, ths victorious side.
made no provision whatever, either by way
of grant, pension er allowance, to the peo
pie who had been wounded, to the side that
had been conquered. . They gave them thei,
lives and their liberties, and after a period
of ten years gave them votes, but did not
give them any money compensation.
England Oeee Step Farther.
"But we have goo a step beyond that, be
cause we have contributed. In addition to
all our own enormous expenses; a very
lsrge sum to relieve those who are really
destitute in our new colonies. We have
done more than I tb nk was expected, and
we have done all we can afford to do, and
I think it would be undesirable for the
generals to press us any further in this
matter, either now or In writing
Proceeding.' Mr. Chamberlain recipro
cated the desire expressed by Geasrel
Botha that they should all live la peace In
the future fa nuuiii Awiu.
"We want in this country," aald the
colonial secretary, "to forget and forgive,
because. If you think, as you well may,
that you have something to forgive, we alsj
think we have a great deal to forgive. But
we want to put all that on one aids. The
war Is ovsr. We alt Nougat a well aa we

te South Africa, - depend entirely cn tb
rapidity with which the old animosities d e
out."
Mr. Chamberlain concluded with saying
that the government would be glad of the
co-operation of men like the generals, who
bad loyally accepted the new situation. As
they wanted South Africa to be a happy
abiding place for all, he felt sure that if
the burghers met the British half way they
would find them quite as good fr ends In
the future as they bad been enemies In the
past.
Comment of the Press.
LONDON, Sept. 10 The report Is
sued yesterday of the recent conference
between Secretary Chamberlain and the
Boer generals Is received this morning with
spirator in suggesting the demands by
which an endeavor waa made to overturn the
whole basis upon which peace had been es
tablished and which pressed tor terms
which Great Britain would not have lis
tened to for one minute during the war.
"The whole scheme," says the paper, "re
calls nothing so much as Orattan's grim
witticism about making the man pay for
the razor that was to be used for cutting
his throat."
The Dally News, while expressing sat
isfaction that "Lord Mllner's colonisation"
scheme Is not to be carried out, and that
other points Mr. Chamberlain was "fair
enough," concludes that the Boer generals
got cold comfort.
"The Verecnlglng terms," says the paper,
"are a rough draft which will have to be
filled In with a free constitution. That Is
tha essence of the case of the Boer gen
erals and It Is a pity that Mr. Chamberlain
has dealt rather with Its form than with
Its spirit."
Another leading organ supports Mr.
Chamberlain's views without comment.

audience to the musical festival last night
