MAN KILLED AT HOPKINS.
Unidentified Man Struck by a Minne- ■
apolls & St. Louis Train.
Word was received In Minneapolis late
last night that an unknown man had
been killed by a Minneapolis & St. Louis
passenger train, about 8 o'clock last
night, on the tracks about a mile and a
half beyond Hopkins. The train crew
was unable to ascertain the man's name,
but he was thought to be a farmer, re
siding beyond Hopkins, and appearances
indicated that he had lain down across
the tracks while intoxicated. The train
crew brought the body to Hopkins sta
tion and notified Coroner Nelson, who
went after the remains at midnight. The
body was badly mangled.

ing I|>.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 7.—Republican
leaders who are on confidential terms
with Gov. Taylor admitted tonight that
the Republican contestees may not quit
the fight in the event the legislature
should vote to seat Gov. Goebel as gov
ernor and the other Democratic contest
ants. They have by no meens given up
hopes that they will win in the legisla
ture, but are taking time by the forelock
and are looking around for other moves
in case Goebel should win. It is generally
believed they will seek to raise a federal
question and take the case into the
United States court. One of the questions
which could be raised, they claim, would
be on the ousting of Lieut. Gov. Marshall
as presiding officer of the joint assembly,
In the event of the adoption of the rules,

The house will tomorrow take up the
Information filed in the senate Saturday,
charging Whallen and Ryan with at
tempting to bribe Senator Ilarrell in the
governorship contest, together with the
resolution providing for a joint investi
gating committee.
The resolution is practically certain to
go through, as the RepuDlican and anti-
Goebel leaders say they cannot afford to
defeat an investigation, though they re
gard the whole affair as inspired by poli
tics, The fight over the rules will not
iome till Thursday, and this is expected
to furnish something like a list of the
Soebel and anti-Goebel strength in the
lower branch. The Republican leaders
admit that the adoption of the rules as
sent over from the senate will be a very
serious blow to the minority.
Senator Barrett, chairman of the Re
publican joint caucus, has called that
caucus to meet tomorrow night to nomi
nate a candidate for senator. Former
3ov. W. O. Bradley will be the nominee.
He will probably be named by acclama
tion. His nomination is the result of a
peace which has been declared between
the Republican factions, one of which
was headed by the governor and his ap
pointees, the other by Minister W. God
trey Hunter. Senator Deboe. Gov. Tay
lor and all of the national administration
leaders in Kentucky.
Representative Orr (Dem.) has prepared
a. bill, which he will introduce Tuesday,
repealing the Goebel election commission

mission.

in the campaign. The week opens
only fresh additions to the -disasters
have befallen British arms, and
is no longer any sustaining confi
to buoy up public opinion. The
sditorials this morning fairly reflect the
extreme gravity of the situation with a
painful undercurrent of nervous forebod
ings, mainly caused by the fact that,
while the Boers have now changed their
tactics and assumed the offensive, Gen.
Bulier is apparently unable to do more
to assist Gen. White than lies in making
i demonstration. The Morning Post
says: "He might as well have ordered a
display of fireworks."
As the heliograph ceased working yes
terday (Sunday), it is presumed that Gen.
White's last message was sent by a pi
geon or a runner. Its purport is serious
enough.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
R 'smith, dated Jan. 5, describing two
: movements on the part of the Boere
ssault the town. These had to be
abandoned when the British defenses
were reached, but the correspondent said
it is apparent the great attack will not
be long delayed. He says: "Loyally sup-
Ited by the civilians, the garrison can
i out to a considerable period. We
not yet reduced to half rations. The
it difficulty Is hospital accommoda
tions for the sick and wounded."
Little doubt remains as to the Boer in-
A dispatch from the Boer camp on
Thursday, by way of Lourehzo Marques,
announces that a thunder storm turned
the dry ravines into torrents and Hooded
the Tugela. Doubtless Gen. Joubert felt
sure he had secured a couple of days in
which he would be free from attack from
Gen. Bulier, who, even if he did attempt
to relieve the town would require three
days to reach it, even by victorious ad
vances. He must feel sure that Gen.
Bulier was not ready to attack. Possi
bly Gen. Joubert felt sure that Gen. Bul
ier would soon deliver an attack, and It
may be that Gen. Bulier actually opened
battle yesterday.
Great Britain has to face the terrible
possibility that the next news will be
the fall of Ladysmith. The disquieting
feature is that the Boers seem to have
had sufficient forces to deter Gen. Bulier
from attacking, while they themselves
make strenuous efforts to reduce the
town. In the presence of this enormous
situation even Gen. French's disaster, of
which apparently the worst has not yet
been heard, assumes quite minor impor
tance in the eyes of the public.
The war office has already decided upon
immediate steps for sending an eight-reg
iment infantry division on to South Af
rica. Some of the regiments for this di
vision will be taken from Malta and Gib
raltar. They will be replaced by militia.
A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle- from
Frere Camp, says:
"Saturday's bombardment of Lady
smith was the heaviest yet recorded. All
the heavy guns were working and the
Boers seem to be pouring in shells from
every available lighter gun."
STIRRING UP NATIVES.
Boers Sowing Seeds of Disaffection
In the Mfnds of Basntoa.
LONDON, Jan. B.—The Times publishes
the following dispatch from Lourenzo
"I learn on impeachable authority that
the Free Staters are still actively sowing
disaffection among the Basutos. It is be.
lieved some of the minor chiefs have re
ceived their advances not unfavorably.
A Basuto interpreter to the Free State
but recently took the son of a Basuto
chief to Pretoria to show him the pris
oners there as a proof of the Boer vic
i:s. It is believed here, however, thai.
Chiefs Jonathan and Lerothoid loyal
even desirous of attacking the Boers
c intrigues will not result seriously,
lthough the Boer agents and their
Ign satellites have done little during
past week in securing supplies for the
lsvaal they are still very active, the
er of the whole machinery being Con
sul Pott, who, besides holding the
agencies of various steamship lines. Is the
manager of the Empresa Africana Land-
Ing company, which is the leading landing
agency here. He Is, therefore, able to
facilitate the discharge of cargoes intend
ed for the Transvaal.
■'Some local British banks also assist
this business of forwarding agents by tho
acceptance of Boer drafts for collection
and by issuing the recently minted Trans,
vaal coinage. This is important presump
tive evidence that the Boers are securing
an important ould.pro puo- ,Already wool ,
to the value of some £15,000 has been ex
ported by the Boer republics by way of
Delagoa Bay."
LONG WAR AHEAD.
The View EipreMed jfoy a. Cousin of
President Steyn.
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—Dan J. Wessels, a
brother of Gen. Wessels, the. commander
of the Boer forces besieging-' Klmberley,
and cousin of President Steyn, of the
Orange Free State, said in an Interview
in Chicago today:
"I expect to get back in time to have
plenty of fighting. I am convinced the
war will last at least another year, and
while the Boers probably will' be crushed,
provided there is no foreign Intervention,
there is certain to be a protracted period
of guerrilla warfare, for the Boers will
fight to the last extremity.
"I think the present war might have
been avoided but for England's oppressive
demands; yet it would have been merely
a postponement of an inevitable conflict,
for the time would have come when the
Boers and the English would have bat
tled for the supremacy of South Africa.
The leading men of the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State have understood
this fact for a long time, but hoped that
somehow events would shape themselves
so the conflict would be indefinitely post
poned. The Jameson raid, however,
proved it was near at hand, and they
have been straining every nerve to pre
pare for It.
"One who has not a personal knowledge
of the facts cannot understand the bitter,
undying hatred which the Boers have for
the English. After the Jameson raid I
met numbers of old men who prayed they
might not die until they had first killed
an Englishman in battle, and the children
have become imbued with the same senti
ment. Such people will not be conquered
easily."
CAPE COLONY CONSPIRACY.
Precautions Taken Indicate That the
Authorities Are Alarmed.
LONDON, Jan. B.—The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Standard, dealing with
the rumor of a Dutch conspiracy in Cape
Colony, which the authorities stamped as
baseless, says:
"A local paper asks why, if it is base
less, all the public buildings are doubly
guarded at night; that troops patrol the
roads leading to Cape Town; that troops
are camped at Greencastle; that the vol
unteers sleep on their arms and have or
ders to rendezvous on hearing guns fired
from the battery. Today the authorities
issued notices warning the papple of the
danger of being fired upon U they ap
proach posts guarded by sentries at night
time and do not stop when
The public has also been notified that all
boats approaching the' British cruiser
Niobe, anchored in the b^iy, must carry a
light or take the risk of; being fired upon
from the cruiser."
ROUGH HMiKit CORPS
To Be Raised in England for Service
in South Africa.
LONDON, Jan. B.—lt has been decided,
with the approval of the war office, to
raise a corps of gentlemen for service
in South Africa, as mounted Infantry,
forming an integral par£ of the imperial
yeomanry. The corps will be raised unit
by unit through the kingdom. Any one
with qualifications as to riding and shoot
ing will be eligible, as well as any former
member of the army.
The scheme of enrollment will enable
groups of friends to serve in the same
corps. Those who have been accustomed
to tracking big game in uncivilized coun
tries will be especially suited.
Earl of Ava Wnonde-d.
LONDON, Jan. B.—According to a pri
vate telegram received in London the
Earl of Ava, son of the Marquis of Duf
ferin and Ava, was dangerously wound
ed in the thigh during a recent attack on
Ladysmith.
WAITING ON RHODES.
Mix.. ii Will Not Challenge Until the
New Yachts Are Completed.
LONDON, Jan. 7.—Sir Thomas Lipton, it
is understood, will defer action regarding
another challenge for the America's cup
until the Distant Shore and another
yacht, now in course of construction, ac
cording to designs by Watson, have been
completed by C. D. Rhodes.
Experts say the Distant Shore will be
an improvement upon the Britannia and
the Meteor, and that the designs are
much like those of the Herreshoff master
piece. It is noted as carious that Messrs.
Herreshoff and Watson should not have
known that they have been working on
similar lines. The Distant Shore's water
line will be two feet shorter than the
Britannia, but tter sail area will be great
er.
DOGS OF DIPLOMATS.
Canine* Belonging to Legations Ex
empt From Muzzling; Regulations.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 7.—Wash
ington's mad-dog scare has brought out
the fact that the members of the diplo
matic corps are not amenable to the reg
ulations requiring that all dogs running
at large be muzzled and that a tax of $2
must be paid on every dog. Since the
agricultural department declared rabies
prevalent in the District' of Columbia and
the adjacent counties of Maryland and
Virginia, which was followed by the muz
zling regulations, it has developed that
the federal and local authorities concede
that dogs belonging to foreign embassies
and legations may run at large without
muzzles, although the dog of an American
citizen, President McKinley's, for ex
ample, must be muzzled and licensed.

SPEECHES li\ SENATE
THE GREATER PART OF THE
WEEK TO BE DEVOTED
TO DEBATE
NO PROGRAMME IN HOUSE
The Report on the Roberts Case Is
Not Expected Before the Close of
the Week, and It May Not Be Re
ceived Even Then — Deficiency
Bill May Precipitate a Philippine
Debate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The week in
the senate necessarily will be given up
largely to - speech-making. Beginning
Monday morning, Senator Pettigrew's res
olution asking for information concerning
the Philippine war will come up, and he
and probably other senators will speak
upon it. Tliis will occur during the morn
ing hour. Senator Morgan has given no
tice of a speech on Monday in which he
will discuss the race question In the
South. If any time is left that day it will
be devoted to the continuation of the dis
cussion of the financial bill, some of the
senators of the opposition replying to Mr.
Aldrich.
Tuesday Senator Beverldge will deliver
his speech on +he Philippine problem, and
Wednesday will be devoted to eulogies of
the late Vice President Hobart. The
greater part of the remainder of the week
will be devoted to finance, the object of
the managers of the financial bill being to
give as much time as possible to this
measure until it Is acted upon. It is now
understood that almost all the senators
opposed to the bill will talk upon It before
the vote is taken, but there has not yet
been any arrangement of the order In
which they will address the senate.
IN THE HOUSE.
There Is no programme in the house
for the present week. The only certain
feature is the urgent derlciency bill. It
will be ready Tuesday or Wednesday. It
will carry almost $50,000,000 for the army
and navy, and while it will pass when it
reaches a vote it may precipitate a stormy
debate upon the conduct of the war in
the Philippines.
The answer of Secretary Gage to the
house resolution calling for information
regarding the deposit of government
funds in national banks is expected early
In the week. The report will not consti
tute a privileged question, which will
open up debate, but if it is deemed un
satisfactory to any one resolutions of in
vestigation may follow.
The Roberts case will not get to the
house till the end of the week at the
earliest, and probably not then. The
hearings have been adjourned until Wed
nesday, and it is hardly likely the report
can be prepared in time for presentation
this week.

SLANG PHRASES BARRED.
Lapecr Club "Soaks" Members "Who
"Shoot Off Unlicensed "Lingo."
L.APEER, Mich., Jan. 7.—The tiresome
and much-abused habit of using slang has
at last found a Nemesis in this city. A
club has been organized under the title
of the Anti-Slang club. Fines are im
posed ranging from 1 cent to 20 cents for
violations. The proceeds go into a general
fund, to be used for various purposes.
Below is a list of a few slang words, with
the fines attached:

The fines are having the desired effect.
One youth became so deeply involved that
he tried working off $2 Confederate bills,
but when threatened with prosecution for
debasing the gold standard, "ponied up."
The writer has to pay 5 cents for using
the last phrase.
COLOMBIA'S PRESIDENT DEAD.
Situation In i.'ic Central Amerlcun
Republic Further Complicated.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. 7.—Advices
from Colombia received today report the
death of President M. A. San Clemente,
which has created a new situation and
greatly complicated the political outlook.
The insurgents are making the most of
the changed conditions. Additional calls
for men and loans, made upon the state
of Panama, will, it is thought, likely pro
voke an open adherence to the revolution
ary movement as was the case in 1885,
the present situation being intolerable.
TROLLEY CAR DITCHED.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Jan. 7.—Car No.
17 of the Rapid railway, Detroit and Mt.
Clemens line, ran into an open switch at

this evening. Several persons were badly
injured. Among them are Mrs. Carrie
Riley, of Detroit, badly hurt; Mrs. Ed
Shabman, broken arm and dislocated
shoulder; Frank Newry, broken arm and
dislocated shoulder. Several others were
more or less injured.

A lady of Dunkirk, N. V., was a sufferer from chronic liver
and bowel trouble, complicated with muscular rheumatism.
Her physician, one of the most skillful practitioners in the city,
was unable to effect any change for the better in her condition..
A Iriend suggested to her a course of treatment with
Ripans Tabules,
which was immediately commenced; and such marked benefit
resulted that she is now enjoying a very fair degree of health,
and is firmly convinced Ihtt her recovery was effected, by the
Jaxative properties ol Ripans Tabules.
