'London, Jan. 2.—The Cape Town corre spondent of the Daily Mall which dwells upon the gravity of the situation In Cape '■s Colony, Bays: The Boer invaders now number 5,000. The western invasion gives the most con ii-eru. It has split into two divisions, -which are inarching like the prongs of a fork, one by-way of Sutherland toward Malmesbury, and the other toward Beau- ! fort. West. The enemy are now ranging over immense tracts of territory necessi tating the employment of an army corps to deal with them. Lord Kitchener has poured troops Into the disturbed area?--, but the fugitive tac tics of the Boers, have to a large extent neutralized his precautions. -■ ■ i It was felt that the only means of ex ■eluding the invaders from the western part of the colony was to call out the farmers. To-day's telegrams promise a splendid re • sponse from the eastern portion, but the western is doubtful, 30 per cent of the poulation being regarded as loyal. Hence the Boer concentration in that direction. . Letters are arriving detailing damage ;i and robbery by the invaders beseeching ; military assistance. Any-action on the part of the colony will not abate the great need of large reinforcements. Boei'H Make a Capture.

SB« KEEP YOUR BLOOD GLEAN POLICE ARE AT SEA Some of the Cudahy Kidnappers May Be Safe in Omaha. MYSTERY IS AS DEEP AS EVER Mr. Cudaliy May Increase His Re- ward and Keep His House (inarded. omm York Sun So+alal Smrvlom Omaha. Neb., Jan. 2.— Though sixteen days have passed since the police were no tified that Eddie Cudahy had been stolen by bandits, nothing has developed that indicates who the kidnappers are. The police admit that the mystery is deepen ing daily, and everything indicates that the whole affair is too much of a puzzle tor the police and detectives. Though $50,000 reward is offered, the case is still a mystery, and Edward A. Cudahy is threatened that unless he withdraws his reward some ot his family will be killed. it is evident that members of the gang are in Omaha and perfectly safe from ar rest. It was the feeling of insecurity and indignation among the citizens that caused the city council to offer an addi tional reward of $25,000. Omaha is be coming very much aroused over the situ ation. In discussing the case Mr. Cudahy said he was very much discouraged. He did not purpose to withdraw the reward but would probably increase it. He was do ing all he could, but he could no nothing except to barricade his house and keep armed guards around. l'al'n Brother Arrested. The first arrest in the Cudahy kidnapping case has been made. J. J. Crowe, brother of Pat Crowe, whom the police believe to be a principal in the abduction was taken into custody in Coun cil Bluffs late yesterday by Omaha detec tives and brought to this city. The war rant charges Crowe with the abduction of young Edward Cudahy on Dec. 18. Crowe consented to accomuany the officers across the river without the formality of requi sition papers. Crowe took the situation complacently. "I*ll do anything I can for you, gentle men." he said, "but I'll tell you right now l can't do or tell much." Crowe was put in the sweat box by the police but denies uay knowledge of his brother's whereabouts and that he had anything to do with the kidnapping. The police expect, however, to secure some valuable information about Pat Crowe and his recent doings. Alice McAdams was arrested here. She is suspected of being Pat Crowe's com panion when he called at the Schneider wind home to rent the Helcose house. Alice McAdams is a sister of Mrs. J. J. Crowe. She will be held until Mrs. Schneiderwind can be brought from Sheeley Station to identify her. IS CROWE CAIGHT? t iM-outi niMMI Report of His Capture in South Dakota. Chadron, Neb., Jan. 2.—When the de ! tectives started a posse after Pat Crowe, Monday, they were on a hot trail and have captured their man. Three riders following ' Crowe's trail came upon him on the Pine Ridge reserva tion near Oelrichs, S. D., and captured him after a wild chase. Crowe was driving a team and buckboard. He whipped the horses and tried to outrun the horsemen, who soon brought him to a halt with their six-shooters. John Delfelder, a cattleman, has reached town with the news and says the posse stopped at a ranch about thirty miles out for lunch and to feed their horses. . Omaha, Jan. 2.—The police here know nothing of tht Pat Crowe at Oelrichs, S. D., and discredit the report of his arrest. Kidnapper Keig-iitt Insanity. ■;-Houghtbn,; MielL, Jan. 2.—William Sullivan, who kidnapped 6-year-old Raymond Thierry and was captured .Sunday night, is said to be ! shamming insanity. • Officials will endeavor to give him the limit of the law, which is ten years' imprisonment, for abduction. Sulli van had a pretty rougr experience for a few j hours. When Sheriff Fred Lean overhauled I the kidnapper and child at an isolated log , cabin, eighteen miles south of Houghton, his first action was to give Sullivan a terrific thrashing with his bare knuckles. >At Chaa sel, a crowd was gathered to lynch the kid napper, but the sheriff put his team on a run and brought his prisoner through in safety. Kidnapping in Pennsylvania. Bethlehem, Pa., Jan. 2.—Bethlehem has been thrown into excitement through the kid napping of a bright little boy, the son of well-known and well-to-do residents. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Kerschner live in a cozy house on Fairview street. Charles Kersch ner, 12 years old, and his young brother went out to the end of the lot in the rear of the house to feed the chickens.

HELD HIS OAIH LIGHTLY CAFFERY SWORE HE WAS SINGLE Hut a Little Later Commenced' Di vorce Proceeding-*—Former . Minnesota!! in Trouble. Special to The Journal. Spokane. Wash., Jan. 2.—A sensation was sprung at the city hall yesterday when it became known that Detectfve Ed ward J. Caffery, who was granted a di vorce from his wife Mabel last week, made a sworn statement when he applied for a position on the police force a year ago that he was not married and had no family. In his bill of complaint asking for a divorce Mr. Caffery says he was married in Detroit, Minn., Aug. 28, 1895, to Miss Mabel Arnold. They resided as man and wife until Aug. 20. 1896, at Crookston, Minn., when his wife deserted him. The I divorce was granted by default. The bill of complaint was sworn to by Officer Caf fery before E. G. Drain, July 10, 1900. Mr. Caffery's application for a position i as police offirer was made on the date I of his appointment, Sept. 18, 1899. It Is j on a regulation blank form. In it the ap plicant gives his full name as Edward James Caffery. He said he was born in New York state in 1865, and had resided I in Spokane for two years preceding the date the application was made. He an swered "No" to questions asking whether he were married or bad any family. The applicant further said he was once a member of the police force of Brainerd Minn., and that he resigned from that force. Detective Cattery has been under dis | cuEsion by the board of police commis | sioners for two weeks as to his alleged relations with a young wo^an in a room ing house in the down to ~ district. He j was called before the board and detained ! for two hour< in a discussion of the case, ! after which he was returned to duty pend j ing adjustment. He is still on duty, work ; ing nights under Sergeant Sullivan. When the sixteen men of the night force of the police department assembled for orders last evening prior to beginning I the duties of the night a general order from the police board was read by Ser geant Sullivan forbidding any police offi cer to give the public any information concerning police affairs. The order is understood to arise from a desire on the part of the police commissioners to pre vent discussion of the Caffery case now pending. AS SEEN' FROM THE GALLERY.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. IT LOOKS LIKE QUAY His Supporters Say That He Will Surely Be Elected. ONE MORE VOTE MEANS VICTORY Caucus Indorses Him and He Has 120 Votes Now In SiKht. Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 2.—Matthew Stan ley Quay has won his fight. That is the way it looks to disinterested observers. He Is apparently short the requisite num ber of votes on the surface, but his trusted lieutenants confidently assure all Inquir ers that the body of reserves will be or dered to the firing line at the proper time, just as they were brought to the front at the critical stage yesterday of the battle over the control of the house. The stalwart republicans have no doubt of Quay's election and while the votes are not now in sight, they promise that It will not even be necessary to have a joint ballot, that the two houses will vote separately and then all that will be needed will be to compare the vote in joint session. That is ■what the Quay men expect will happen. Analyzing the vote on the organization of the senate and the house, they show —that 26 votes in the senate and SMS in the house make a total of 121 votes for the stalwart candidate for the United States senate. Colonel Quay is said to have been called upon after the adjournment of the legislature yesterday by three members of the house, who had voted against his can didate for speaker and who pledged their support for him. He is also said to have received other assurances which led him to make this statement to a friend: '"1 will certainly be elected. There is no question about the final result." At the caucus last night three names were presented—Matt Quay, Judge Stewart of Chambersburg end Congressman John Dal zell of Pittsburg. After the ballot Dal cell and Stewart were withdrawn and the choice of Quay was made unanimous, giv ing him 123 votes. In addition to these letters were read from Haldeman of Mont gomery and Thompson of Centre, stating that they would vote for Quay. Beaver of Juita did not vote, but said he would abide by the caucus action. This would give him 126 and bis supporters are say ing that there are others pledged to him sufficient to make his election a certainty. He needs 127 votes. Nominations for United States senator were made in both branches of the state legislature to-day. The following were presented in the senate: M. S. Quay, re publican; Congressman John Dalzell, in dependeut republican; ex-Governor Rob ert E. Pattison. democrat; ex-Congress man Simon P. Wolverton, democrat; John Stewart, republican; Congressman Wil liam Connell, republican; George F. Huff, republican, and National Committeeman James M. Guffey. The same nominations were made in the house with the addition of George A. Jenks, democrat; Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, republican; ex-At torney General William H. Hensel, dem ocrat, and William M. Nelson, democrat. WOUOTT'S Sl"< CESSOK It Looks as If It Would Be T. M. I Patterson. 2fau> York Sun Special Service Denver, Col., Jan. 2.— M. Patterson will probably be the successor of E. 0. Wolcott in the United States senate. •■ In \ the house caucus B. F. Montgomery, a stanch friend •of Mr. Patterson, was made the choice of the silver fusionists for speaker. This is regarded as a severe blow to the aspirations of Governor C. S. Thomas. . . ' Another action that points strongly to ward the election of Mr. Patterson was the practical dissolution of the populist party in Colorado which began when the . eight populist state senators walked into the '■, democratic senatorial caucus and an nounced, that they had;decided by resolu tion to be democrats hereafter. The thirteenth general assembly of Colorado convened at noon to-day. Or ganization was effected as agreed upon by the democratic caucus, Colonel B. F. Montgomery of Cripple Creek being elected speaker of the house and . Casi miro Barela of Trinidad, president pro tern of the senate. The inauguration of James B. Orman as governor will take j place Tuesday, Jan. 8. The legislature will ballot for United States . senator to succeed E. O. Wolcott on Jan. 15. McMillan Renomlnated. 1 Lansing, Mich., Jan. 2.—Senator James Mc- Millan of Detroit was nominated by the joint republican caucus of the forty-first leg- j islature to succeed • himself. Senator McMil- ! lans re-election to his third term in the | senate is assured, as the legislature Is over- i whelmingly republican. The house caucus I nominated John J. Barton of Flint as speak- i er by acclamation. Representative Sherman j P. Handy of Iron county was nominated for ! speaker pro tern. ;,-■ " " The two houses of the Michigan legis lature convened at noon to-day and or ganized with John J.

LAWS THE SAME EVERYWHERE < onMltntlon. It la Contended, Makes No Provision for "I 111 iiuit.-d Oenpotiam." Washington, Jan. 2.—Briefs in the oases involving the relation of the United States to insular possessions, which are to be argued in the United States supreme court next week, were submitted to-day by the parties opposing the contentions of the government. Carlos Armstrong, a British subject, doing business in Ponoe, i'orto Rico, sues to recover tariff duties collected on goods imported Into Porto Rico frora New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. The plea ts made in the brief that the collection of duties was a violation o? the constitution of the United States, as by the terms of the Paris treaty the island of Porto Rico became a portion of the United States. The brief lays down the following propositions as the basis of the appel lant's contentions: The constitution of the United States reaches over every portion of the national domain, whether in the form of states, terri tories or districts, because this constitution provides for territories as well as states. The cession made by Spain in the treaty of Paris produced an absolute change of title and' sovereignty in Porto Rico. The president of the United States is an executive officer only. He has no right to exercise legislative functions. The imposi tion by executive orders of customs duties on commerce betoeen the island of Porto Rico and other flfrta of the United States after the treaty of peace and the exchange of ratifications is unauthorized and void, and the collection of such duties is without war rant of law. A government without limitatious was never intended by the founders of the na tion. They sought to establish and did es tablish a constitutional republic, which fur nishes a written guarantee of protection to all of its inhabitants. The idea that in one portion of the country the executive au.l legislative authority is subject to restric tions and limitations and that In another portion it Is without any restriction or limi tation—that me one part a republican gov ernment exists and In another part and un limited despotism, is repugnant to the theory upon which the government was founded. Every inhabitant is entitled to the protec | tion afforded by the bill of rights. WHY IT DOUBLED UP Expanding Territory and Business Confidence Helped Sioux City. LARGE GROWTH IN WHOLESALING Millions of Increa«e in the Year Jutit Closed—Grocery and Hardware Trade. Special to The Journal. Sioux City, lowa, .Jan. 2.—Few persons would believe that Sioux City jobbing houses did double the amount of business in 1899 that they did in 1896, the period when the real, substantial prosperity of the city began again; yet this is true. The business has increased each year I since 1896, with wonderful strides. This | condition is not only a matter for con- I gratulation on the part of the jobbers I themselves, but it tells a significant story | for Sioux City's advancement. One man ager of a gorcery house says his concern sold a million dollars' worth more goods in moo than in 1896, the percentage of increase amounting to just about 100 per cent. The manager of another gorcery house was very much surprised upon con sulting the books to discover that their sales had amounted to a cool million dol lars more during the year just closing than the twelve months of 1896. He said after a moment's calculation that this represented an increase of 71^ per cent. "We have sold more goods in 1900," he continued, "than did all of the grocery jobbers in Sioux City put together the first year we came here, fifteen years ago." Wholesale dealers in other lines re port sales correspondingly increased. A hardware jobber said the amount in vested was not so large as in groceries, but his business had shown an advance ,of $750,000 over 1596. "I believe," said be, "this was the biggest hardware year on record We have had a smaller per centage of losses than In any other year, and the number of failures among our country merchants has been smaller." Jobbers in dry goods, shoes and other goods have similar experiences to relate | with reference to increased sales. The ' large cigar distributors were handicapped , io a considerable extent during the fall by the great strike in the east, which reduced the supply of »tock. Thousands of cigars were ordered and the orders could not be filled because of the inability to procure the stock from the idle fac , tories. Many causes have contributed to the j tidal wave of commercial advancement in i Sioux City. Speaking along this line a j jobber said: This northwest country is filling up rapidly and this city's business interests are sharing in the consequent increase in the demand for goods. From 50,000 to 60,000 more people have moved into South Dakota in the past year or two. Then there has been absolute confidence in the business world and nobody has been afraid of investment. In 1596 there were nu i merous and very large business failures. ! Then the presidential campaign came on in I the middle of the year, with the talk of changing the standard of money. These things were bound to cause apprehension and depression. When relief came the cloud was cleared away and business knew no bounds. The transformation was absolute; it was < complete. Conditions have continued to grow : better. I see no reason why the same pros perity should not continue through the first >>ar in the new century, and.l might say in definitely, for no country on the globe has more favorable natural environment for com mercial advantage. Better times bring a de mand for better classes of merchandise. It is a natural consequence, hence the substantial character of the demand.

HEAVY LOSS OF STOCK (OLD WKATHKR FOLLOWS STORM Whole Herd* of Sheep Perish in Colorado—Snow in Washing . ton State. Denver, Col., Jan. 2. —Weather in this vicinity is the coldest in several yt-ars, fallowing a snow storm of several days. The snow was small and the wind drove it hard against the exposed stock. This followed by such severe cold, will cause loss on the ranges. One herd of sheep a few miles east of this city is supposed to be lost entirely. The sheep crowd each other to escape the cold and snow, and those underfoot are trampled on. Fifteen Inches of nSow. Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 2.—Fifteen inches of snow cov.ers the streets. The storm has been in progress twenty-four hours and still continues. No snow fall is reported from points in the interior. Snow in Washington. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 2.—The Puget Sound country is hidden under a blanket of snow made of big flakes, or what New Englauders tall "Bugar snow." The fall commenced yesterday at C a. m. and lasted throughout the day. This Is the second snowstorm of the winter. APPLIES TO ALL HarriMou on the Purpuie of (he I'ruiuem of the <'oiimi itution. Indianapolis, Jan. 2.—At the Columbia club banquet General Harrison responded to the sentiment "Hail Columbia." He had fur nished in advance copies of his speech, but included the following paragraphs which were not included in the advance copy: "It has been recently said that our fathers organized a misshapen nation, if these limi tations and reservations apply to all lands that become a part of our public domain and to all peoples whose allegtanr-e we accept. Now. whatever the professors of esthetics may tell us about beauty in the abstract, we know that in nature and mechanics and in formative state-raft, such a principle has chiefly to do with an intended use. That which perfectly accomplishes the designed use is not misshapen. Orators are misshapen eagles, as all ot us have found when we tried to soar. ■ "And so. before we condemn our constitu tion as misshapen, if it carries its general limitations and its reservations of personal rights to all lands over which its sway ex tends and to all people who owe allegiance to the government it organizes, we must as sume that the men of 1776 and of 1757 con templated the governing of lands and peoples with that absolutist against which, with so much cost and rare, they had defended them selves. That is to be the question. But it is not my purpose to press upon you my views upon this great constitutional ques tion. Many of you may hold varied opinions I do not doubt that the republican liberty to differ on a constitutional question survi-es in the Columbia club." SEATTLE'S LIBRARY IN ASHES *«0,000 liuildiiiK and 28,000 Vol umes Are Burned. Seattle, Wash., Jan. 2. —The public library of Seattle was burned to the ground last night. The fire originated in the northwest corner or the basement, possibly from furnaces. The books, num bering 25,000 volumes, and valued at ?30, --000, are a total loss. The firemen responded quickly to the alarm of fire, but after half an hour's, work were totally unable to cope with the blaze. The flre broke out in several places at once and the mep oould do nothing with it. The building was built about ten years ago by Henry Yessler, Seattle's most famous pioneer, and cost him nearly $60, --000. From opinions gleaned from city officials, it is likely that a new building will be built at once. The house was oc cupied by Mr. Yessler for three years be fore his death, and was then one of the handsomest residences in Seattle. FAYERWEAT HER WILL CASE.

" GAS MAY GIVE OUT. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 2.—Manager Walbridg* of the Detroit City Gas company thinks that the supply of natural gas will fail tempo rarily if the present cold snap continues for twenty-four hours, and he advises customer* to provide other fuei at once.
