HORRIBLE STORIES
FROM THE TRANSVAAL
Womea and Children Inhu
manly Treated.
VICTIMS OF THE SOLDIERS
Horrors of the Reconcentrado Camps
Revealed by Women—Lady Miles
Fleeced by a Bucket Shop—Political
Crisis In Chill—Foreign News.
The Hague, Dec. 19.—Pitiable stories
reach Holland concerning the fate of
the reconcentradoed women in the Brit
ish camps in the Transvaal. Madame
Hardus of Kimberly reports at the end
of October:
“Today arrived eight women and 24
children from Potchefstroem by the
train. They had a terrible tale to tell
of how they were dragged away by the
Kaffirs, thrust into jail, after being kept
some time without food and taken by
soldiers to Kimberly. When they ar
rived there their clothes were in rags,
having been torn by soldiers. Two of
them had been subjected to indignities. ”
Another correspondent describes the
arrival of six poor women from the same
district in miserable plight. Two women
who had suffered from the violence of
soldiers were taken to the hospital for
treatment.
A nursing sister, who has arrived at
Harlem from Africa, gives harrowing
accounts of the condition of many vic
tims of soldiers.
Another letter how two young
mothers who were brought into a recon
centrado camp were not allowed to take
infants 4 and 6 months old with them.
LADY MILES WAS FLEECED.
Lost £IOO,OOO Speculating Through
a Bucket Shop.
London, Dec. 19. —The story of Lady
Miles, widow of Sir Philip Miles, her
thousands and a bucket shop is being
told before the lord chief justice, the
lady having sued Duncans of Waterloo
Place for £6,127, proceeds of a sale of
consols.
Duncans is the name under which
Henry Lowenfleld, A. A. Hannay and
W. Stark do business as curb stock
brokers. They issued a book called
“How Money Makes Money.” Lady
Miles saw this book in August, 1898,
and wrote to Messrs. Duncans.
Since then £OIO,OOO or more of her
money has passed through Duncans’
hands. Lady Miles began with a three
share deal in August, 1898. By Novem
ber, 1899, transactions involving about
£IOO,OOO were open between her lady
ship and Duncans.
“While the firm,” said the plaintiff
counsel, “were ever ready with ad
vice to Lady Miles about buying stocks
and shares whenever she bought they
always sold. ”
Lady Miles decided to go in more
heavily. A statement of her account,
rendered Nov. 24, showed that the pro
ceeds of the sale of her £6,500 in consols,
as well as some gold field shares, had
been absorbed.
When she instructed them to close
her speculative accounts she was told
that all her money had been swallowed
up, besides which she owed the firm the
sum of £I,BOO. This meant that Lady
Miles had lost altogether £10,719.

London, Dec. 19.—United States Am

I HOUSE AGAIN TAKES
UP DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Clark Case Came Up in the
Senate, but Went Over.
SEVERAL BILLS ACTED ON
Boutelle Made a Retired Captain of
the Navy—Other Measures Given
Consideration—Pennsylvania Rail
road Terminal Occupies House.
Washington, Dec. 19. When the
senate convened today some bills and
resolutions passed by the house were re- I
ported. Among them was a resolution
authorizing the president to appoint
Charles A. Boutelle of Maine a captain
on the retired list of the navy.
Mr. Boutelle for many years has been
a member of the house and was re
elected to the next congress. His seri
ous illness for a 4°ng time has been a
matter of national concern.
Mr. Hale of Maine asked that the res
olution be taken up for immediate con
sideration. No objection was made and
the resolution was passed without a
word of comment or debate.
On motion of Mr. Hoar of Massachu
setts, the amendments to the bill relat
ing to taxes in Greer county, Tex., were
agreed to, thus passing the bill.
Mr. Chandler, chairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections off
ered a resolution to discharge the com
mittee on contingent expenses from fur
ther consideration of the resolution au
thorizing the committee on privileges
and elections to send for persons and
papers in the investigation of the Mon
tana senatorial case. The idea was to
get the original resolution before the
senate.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas objected and
the resolution went over under the rule.
Mr. Bacon of Georgia introduced and
obtained the passage of a resolution
calling on the secretary of war to trans
mit to the senate the report of Abraham
L. Lawshe, “giving in detail the result
of his investigation made under the di
rection of the war department into the
receipts and expenditures of the Cuban
funds.”
Mr. Jones of Arkansas offered a reso
lution directing the committee on for
eign relations to examine the claim of
Henry McCoy and report whether the
secretary of state should be directed to
pa# the sum of money claimed by him
out of the award in the hands of the
state department in the matter of the
Delagoa bay railroad. The resolution
was passed.
Bills were passed granting pensions
of SSO a mouth to the widows of Gen
eral John A. McClelland and General
John M. Palmer. After this the senate
went into executive session to consider
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
WORK IN THE LOWER HOUSE
Consideration of District of Columbia
Matters Continues.
Washington, Dec. 19.—When the
house assembled at 11 o’clock this morn
ing, in pursuance of the recess taken
last night until that hour, it was the
legislative day of Tuesday.
The purpose of continuing the legisla
tive day of yesterday was to resume the
consideration of the bill to change the
terminal facilities of the Pennsylvania
railroad in this city, against which a de
termined filibuster was inaugurated yes
terday. Had the house adjourned yes
terday the time set aside for the consid
eration of the District of Columbia mat
ters would have expired and the bill
could not have been again taken up
until after the holidays.
Today the opposition agreed to aban
don their dilatory tactics provided op
portunity was offered for amendment
and reasonable discuisien. With this
understanding the consideration of the
bill was resumed.
FIGHT AGAINST GROUT BILL
Oleomargarine Men Are Heard by the
Senate Committee.
Washington, Dec. 19.—The senate
committee on agriculture today begun
the consideration of the oleomargarine
bill by hearing persons interested in the
measure which recently passed the
house.
A large majority of those present
were opponents of the bill and it was
stated that the friends of the measure,
who bad not been heard before the
house committee, would be given the
preference in the present hearing.
The oleomargarine men generally
complained of having received very
short notice and most of them asked for
more time. Hon. W. M. Springer ap
peared in behalf of the National Live
Stock association in opposition to the
bill. Congressman Grout and ex-Gov
ernor Hoard of Wisconsin were the only
persons present supporting the bill.
Mr. Grout was first heard. He is the
author of the bill and was permitted to
make an explanation of its provisions.
Former Governor Hoard then made
an argument in support of the bill, say
ing that its purpose is that of prevent
ing the counterfeiting food of so far as
the federal government has power to do
that.
Train Goes Into the Creek.
Swainsboro, Ga., Dec. If'.—A logging

NO CHANGE IN THE
CHINESE SITUATION
Word “Irrevocable” Causing
Considerable Tronble.
IT WAS DUE TO AN ERROR
Our Government Wanted it Stricken
Out, While England Was Led to Be
lieve Otherwise—Argument lu the
Philippine Case.
Washington, Dec. 19.—N0 change in
: the Chinese situation has been reported
to the state department. The cable
gram was really curious and can only
be ascribed to some sort of error in tele
graphic transmission, in translation or
retranslation of messages into cipher or
to an absolute misunderstanding on the
part of the recipients of some of the
latest dispatches exchanged between Pe
king and the foreign eap tals and Wash
ington.
Now, it seems, according to the latest
view, that the United States govern
ment, far from seeking to induce the
British government and the others in
terested to accept the term “irrevoca
ble” as defining the purposes of the
powers in dealing with China actually
intended to take exactly the opposite
view of the matter.
Through the aforesaid error, however,
the British government, which also ob
jected to the use of the w >rd “irrevoca
ble,” was led to believe that the United
States government desired the word to
be retained. After a long delay it con
sented to accept the word.
This is exactly what our government
does not want. Now the exchanges,
which are proceeding rapidly, are with
a purpose on the part of our govern
ment, to get rid of the “irrevocable”
term, or idea, but it begins to appear
that this program seems to be difficult
of accomplishment, for even though
Great Britain, though accepting the
word against its original judgment, ap
pears now disposed to allow it to stand.
JUDGE DAY IN ATTENDANCE
He Hears Arguments lu the Porta
Rico-Philippine Cases.
Washington, Dec. 19.—The United
States supreme court was again crowded
to its full capacity today to hear the con
cluding arguments in the cases involv
ing the status of Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Among those who secured
points of vantage in the area reserved
for the bar was Judge Day.
Judge Day gave attentive ear to the
argument of the attorney general, which
took up the events following the treaty
of peace and maintained the right of the
government, pursuant to that treaty and
the constitution to follow the bill of the
action taken in those cases relative to
the Philippines anft Porto Rico.
Attorney General Griggs, who began
the government’s presentation yester
day, consumed practically the entire
day, leaving the close to Charles H. Al
drich, on the Philippine case to be pre
sented tomorrow.
Army Reorgatization Bill.
Washington, Dec. 19.—The subcom
mittee of the senate committee on mili
tary affairs has completed its work on
the army reorganization bill. The re
port is a complete substitute for the
house bill. Probably the most import
ant change is in the provision regarding
the artillery arm of the service. The
maximum strength of the army is to be
100,000 men.
Will Not Be Given Out.
Washington, Dec. 19.—The river and
harbor committee of the house have
practically decided not to give out the
bill until after the holidays. The mem
bers fear that the publication of the
items would give the friends of projects
unfavorably acted upon an opportunity
to organize combinations against the
bill.
LOWER COURT AFFIRMED?
1
Home of Former President Hayes Or
dered to Be Sold.
Columbus, Dec. 19. —The supreme
court has affirmed the judgment of the
lower court in the case of Rutherford

dent Hayes at Fremont.
The property was willed to the late

nuity should be paid to an insane uncle.
At the death of Hayes the annuity was
stopped. The administrator of the un
cle sued the Hayes heirs and has won
the suit.

All the new fall lines are ready.
