THE A N TI-BOER RESOL V
rioys.
The diFCUSRion of the anti-Boer resolu
tion offered by Mr. William H. Ferris at
the meeting of the Colored National Lea
gue Tuesday evening, revealed the exis
tence of a strong feeling against the Boers
on the part of many of those present.
While it is a well known fact that the
treatment of the native Africans by the
Boers has from the beginning been that of
extreme cruelty and brutality and that
their system of human slavery is as bad if
not worse in some of its features —as that
formerly existing in this country, yet,
with the exception of that particular sys
tem of slavery, the treatment of the na
tives by the English is and has always
been equally as brutal and atrocious as
that of the Boers. Let those who doubt
this statement make a visit to South
Africa or ask some colored man who has
lived there It is a notorious fact that
the pror Kaffirs have a hard time at the
hands of the English people and their lot
is miserable and utihaopy indeed.
That being the case so iar as the colored
people are concerned, we think that
neither the Boors nor the English are de
serving of their sympathy. As American
citizens, ignoring the question of race, —if
that is possible in the discussion of this
question—having that inborn and heaven
inspired love of liberty and independence,
the sympathies of the colored people
would naturally lean toward the Boers in
their struggle against a great and power
ful nation seeking to deprive them of
their rights and liberties. But, the race
question rises up like Banquo’s ghost, the
result being that the more intelligent and
deep thinking among our people who are
familiar with the relations of the English
and Boers with the African natives, have
no sympathy to bestow upon either side
iu the contest.
It is to be hoped that the resolutions re
ferred to will he very carefully considered
and discussed. The resolution should be
modified so as to conform to the actual
facts as we have stated them; as, if we
judge the sentimeui of the col. red people
aright, they :Me not willi .g to go on
rtcord as sympathizing with E igland as
against the Boers, making the basis of
that sympathy the oppression of the Af
rican while England is fully as
guilty, the o n iy difference being that one
openly enslaves them wh’le the other ac
complished the same purpose indirectly
under another system. .
It would seem the part of wisdom and
policy on the part of th* League to amend
the rtsolution by striking out the words
•‘thick headed,” etc.wuich are not war
ranted or justified m the light of history
ncr by recent *ev< nti, — reflecting as the}
q upon tlie good judgment, tact and dis
c tioii yvhich has always characterized
the Lengue in its official public utterances
The Colored Nation il League of Boston
is a strong, influential organization and
its work for the race has been and is of
great value. Whatever emanates from
tne League is yvidely le.ulaud uiscussed,
carries great weight, and is considered to
a great extent as expressive of the senti
ments of the colored people of this sec
tion Therefore y'e teel sure that the
following resolution now pending before
the Leagu , will l>e materially changed by
the more conservative among its members
before being adopted as a correct expres
sion of the sentiments ot the CJiored peo
u eot Neyv England:— , „ . ,
1 Resolved, il at the Colored National
League declares that the colored people or
the world ov*r should sympathize with
England iu this great struggle, and de
clares that England* victory will mean
the advance of civilization and the crush
ing of a diabolical, slave-bolding republic,
and calls upon all lovers of justice and
humanity to throw their moral support
against the thick-beaded, haid-hearted
and hypocritical Boers, and that the Col
ored National League calls upon all thise
who are opposed to human slavery aud
the ruthless slaughtering of human be
ings to denounce tne Boers who are trying
to oppose the advancing tide of the l»th
century civilization uud perpetuate hu
man slavery.

TWO BURGLARS KILLED.
They Were Shot in an Encounter With
Police at Quincy, 111.
Quincy, 111., police officers have
hilled two expert safe blowers, sup- !
posed to be from Chicago, and seri
ously wounded another. r l he men are
believed to be the same who recently
operated in Galesburg, Freeport and
other Illinois cities, making a special
ty of cracking safes in building and
lean association offices.
On January 6 the safe in the offices
of the Adams County Building and
Loan Association, in Quincy, was
blown open at the noon hour and cash
and securities amounting to $20,000
taken. Saturday, Jan. 27, three men
came to Moecker's Hotel, two of
them registering from Kansas City.
The proprietor suspected them and
warned the police, and when one of
the men went out he was shadowed
by Detective George Koch. The offi
cer finally asked the suspect to go to
the station and explain himself. The
man drew a pistol and pointed it at
the officer’s heart, but as he did so
Koch flashed his own pistol and fired
four shots. Three took effect and the
man fell dead.
Meanwhile officers had examined
the baggage of the suspected men,
and found it included burglars’ tools,
skeleton keys, dynamite sticks and
nitro-glycerine. When the other two
men returned to the Moecker Hotel
at 2 o’clock in the morning they found
the hotel surrounded by officers. They
ran into the hotel saloon and loaded
their revolvers. Then issued a run
ning fight in the hotel corridor. One
man reached the street, pursued by
Chief of Police John Ahern. He turn
ed to fire, and as he did so Ahern sent
a bullet crashing through his skull.
He died in a few f minutes. The third
man was shot on the stairs by Officer
Charnhorst and sank to the floor with
a broken hip. He refused to say who
his accomplices w r ere.

BRITISH AND BOERS
LATEST MOVEMENTS IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
A Full Summary of the Transvaal
War News—Progress of the Con
flict From Day to Day— The British
Encouraged.
The war in South Africa is going
on with unabated fury, and the British
are rushing more men to the scene ot
hostilities. The following is the latest
news:
Gen. Buller’s operation at Spion
Kop has cost 912 men. so far officially
reported within ten days.
Applying to the 205 Spion Kop casu
alties the rule of proportion, the losses
of officers indicate probably 500 casu
alties yet to come. The total casual
ties of the war, compiled from official
reports, are 9,523, nearly a division.
Of these 2,482 were killed, 4,811
wounded and the rest prisoners.
The aggregate British home troops
in South Africa number 116.000, the
Natalians 7,151, and Cape Colonials,
21,000.
William T. Stead has addressed an
open letter to the Speaker of the
House of Commons, William Court
Gully, asking him to bring it to the
notice of the House. The writer says:
“The consequence of going to war
with a lie in our right hand is now
manifest even to the dullest under
standing. The responsibility for the
lie, which is now working out its nat
ural consequences in South Africa,
originally lay upon the Colonial Sec
retary alone, but by a conspiracy of
falsehoods the select committee of
1897 was hocussed into returning a
false verdict, which, being afterward
accepted by the House of Commons,
involved Parliament itself into the re
sponsibility of a fatal fraud.’’ Mr.
Stead then asserts that “the war was
undertaken to conceal the truth and
to whitewash the Colonial Secretary,"
and he appeals to the House to insist
upon the production of the correspond
ence between the Colonial Office and
Mr. Hawksley, solicitor to the Char
tered Company, “in order to ascertain
the truth respecting the Jamieson
raid and to purge the House of this
dishoner.”
Sir Alfred Milner, British High
Commissioner at Cape Town, has is
sued a proclamation announcing that
the British government will not rec
ognize as valid any forfeiture or en
cumbrance upon property in the
Transvaal or the Free State sub se
quent to October 10, the date whek
war was declared.
John Churchill, second son of Lady
Randolph Churchill, who accompanied
her in the Maine to Cape Town, has
received from Lord Roberts his com
mission in the South African Light
Horse.
The British War Office has sur
prised London by making public a de
spatch from Gen. Buller, stating that
Gen. Warren had abandoned Spion
Kop which he captured in the recent
night attack in Natal Colony, after
a sharp fight with the Boer forces.
The British casualty list, including
many officers, exceeds 200. Much
speculation was indulged in in London
as to the situation of the Tugela river,
and apprehension has been aroused
about Buller’s army and the fate of
beleagured Ladysmith.
A despatch to the London Times
from Spearman’s Camp says: “The
Boers are prepared to fight almost
interminably, having intrenched their
ridge, which stretches in an almost
unbroken line from the Drakensburg
many miles eastward. We have not
advanced any further, but we threw
up intrenchments during the night,
from behind which the musketry duel
continued.’’
At Brussels nearly one hundred
thousand signatures have been ap
pended to the address promoted by
M. Lejeune and other members of the
Universal Peace Society, asking Presi
dent McKinley to mediate.
A battle has been raging along the
Olivier’s Hoek road between the
Boers and 6,000 British troops. The
fighting is in full swing at Spion's
Kop. The Boers under Botha and
Cronje have been sent elsewhere.
From Vienna comes the statement
that the idea of the intervention of
European powers is gaining adher
ents in influential quarters. The Daily
Mail corespondent regards the signs
as unmistakable, and mentions espe
cially suggestions printed in the Aus
tro-Hungary Foreign Office journals.
Fire in St. Louis nas destroyed the
building occupied by the Missouri
Tent and Awning Company. Loss,
$120,000. The Calumet building, ad
joining, caught fire several times and
was damaged.
Henry Smith has been convicted it
the Superior Court at Macon, Ga., ol
mayhem and sentenced to life impris
onment. Smith and his wife boarded
with Mrs. Susie Hillard, but on ac
count of net paying board Smith was
sent away, Mrs. Hillard keeping the
young wife. Smith went to the house
on December 9, and, on being refused
permission to see his wife, dashed
acid in Mrs. Hillard’s face, permanent
ly blinding her.
