Ru- mors of the surrender of General Botha and the collapse of all Boer resistance flourish, to the great benefit of South Africa stocks. That those who are most responsible for carrying on the war do dent from Mr, Broderick’s official utter- ances and the evidence of his friends, in- cluding Lord Roberts. Thelr caretully prepared campaign of thorough organiza- tion which has been quietly maturing dur- ing the past six months is beginning to have its first results, and they are per- fectly satisfied. The new concentration of troops referred to so enigmatically by the cerrespondents at the front is only one of the many steps for which General Kitche- ner has so long been preparing. That it will lead to the complete disintegration of the more important Boer units and possi- bly to the personal surrender of Generals | Botha and Dewet the British War Office earnestly hopes. But it dces not go so far as to expect | it. General Kitchener is almost as retl- | cent toward his chiefs in Pall Mall as to | the general public. ‘When he has taken‘, General Botha into his camp the War Of- | fice expects to hear of it, but not before.

Vancouver Officer Gets Commission for Colonial Service. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 2.—A sen- sation was caused to-day by the recelpt | of a commission by Major C. C. Bennett | of this city to join the new force of con- stabulary for South Africa as second senior captain. A regiment of 700 men is being formed in Canada for police work in the Transvaal, to go on duty under General Baden-Poweil. Captain Harry Burstall will be in charge of the whole of the Canadlan contingent, which will safl from Hallfax In two weeks. Major Bennett came into notorfety at the military headquarters at Ottawa two months ago when ne was reported thero for calling the men of his regiment in Vancouver a paclc of curs. They had not turned out in a snowstorm to a church parade and Bennett took occaslon to be- rate them soundly. The matter was taken up by the military authorities and Major Bennett was disciolined. So strong did the feeling against him become that he was obliged to read an apology to the regiment, assembled for drill, in which he asked the pardon of every man in the ranks for the words that had been so hastily spoken. This apology had barely been made when Bennett recelved word that he had been appointed to the coveted position to go to South Africa. s s PURSUIT OF GENERAL DEWET. Daring Boer Leader Reported to Have Become Demented. LONDON, March 2.—The Hopetown cor- respondent of the Times, in a dispatch of February 27, which describes Colonel Plumer’s pursuit of General Dewet, which has been continually hampered by heavy rains, says: “Since Colonel Plumer's attack at Wolvekruit, February 15, the invaders have behaved like harried hares. The re- port that Dewet had crossed the river arose from some small parties crossing in a boat at Marks Drift, where Colonel Plumer prevented the crossing of the main commando and took one hundred prisoners. “After the capture of Dewet's guns, February 23, the enemy were in full re- treat and ought to have fallen into the hands of the column from Kimberley, but they slipped past In the night, recrossed the raflway and are now trying with Hertzog to recross the Orange River at Sands Drift, but Hertzog’s commando has melted away, the majority having been dispersed or having surrendered, “Dewet, in his fanaticism, is reported as demented. It !s sald that he flogs everybody and that Haasbroeck, who has a commando, refuses to co-operate with him.” —— RUSSIANS BEATEN BACK BY MOUNTED BANDITTI SHANGHAI, March 2.—According to a dispatch from Newchwang, 3000 Russians WASHINGTON IN READINESS FOR SECOND INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT T1cKINLEY Questions of Precedence Concerning Justices and Em- bassadors Settled--=Admiral Dewey Will Ride in the Parade With General Tliles. < dem ASHINGTON, March 2—Tha last day but one before the specified time when Willlam. | McKinley of Ohio is to be in- augurated for the second time President of the United States finds Wasn- ington In complete readiness for the re- ception of the thousands of visitors who are traveling to the nation’s capital. To- day the streets of the city presented a | holiday appearance and were thronged with strangers. An important announce- ment was made to the effect that Lord | Minto, the Governor General of Canada, | will attend the inauguration exercises Monday. An invitation was extended to Lord Minto by Lord Pauncefote, the Brit- ish Embassador. The outlook is for clear, fine weather. Distinguished Men Arrive. The streets of the capital to-day began for the first time to show the effects of the rapldly Increasing population that will make the city a seething mass of human- ity for the next week. The rallroads to-day reported heavier traffic than at the same date previous to the first McKinley {nau- guration. Trains into Washington began to arrive this morning in from two to five sections. It is too soon yet to make any definite predictions as to the total number of visitors, but the arrangements of the committee on public comfort are in ex- cellent shape and there is no doubt as to the capacity of Washington to adequately house as many as shalil arrive. Governor Odell of New York came to- day. Lieutenant Governor Timothy Wood- riff of New York got in yesterday and Governor McLean of Connecticut late last | night. Governor Yates of Tilinols and Gov- ernor Shaw of Iowa are expected to-mor- row. The first contingent of the Pennsyl- vania National Guard arrived this morn- ing and was escorted to quarters by the | committee. For Military Organizations. Business wos largely at a standstill in the Agricultural Department to-day, ow ing to the regular office force being turn- el out to make room for a number of nititary organizations that will be quar- tered in the bullding. The Porto Rican battallon arrived this cvening about 9 o’clock and . proceedad directly to the War Department, where they will be quartered during their stay in this city. Governor Longino of Mississipp! arrived this afternoon. Some apprehenston has been aroused in the minds of the more liberally inclined | visitors and residents at the threat of the Anti-Saloon League to see that the mid- night and Sunday closing law is rigor- ously enforced. The league has appoint- ed a vigilance committee of 100 to keep watch on the saloons and report any vio lations of the law. At previous inaugura- tions considerable latitude has been al- lowed by the police 1n this direction. Justices and Embassadors. The Justices of the United States preme Court will precede the forelgn Em- bassadors in the Inauguration ceremonies in the Senate Chamber, but the foreign Embassadors will be given precedence in the procession to the platform where the President will be sworn in. This is the dictum of the State Department. Lord Pauncefote, the British BEmbassador, called at the State Department this after- noon and as dean of the diplomatic. corps discussed with acting Secretary Hill the action of the inaugural committee in plac- ing the Embassadors after the Justices during the proceedings in the Senate Chamber. Hill explained that the Jus- tices represented one of the co-ordinate branches of the American Government, and besides participated actively In the ceremonies, the Chief Justice swearing in the President. While Embassadors par- ticipate in the proceedings, they do so as spectators, and the State Department in- sists that their proper place in the Sen- ate Chamber is after the Justices. Lord Pauncefote was apparently satis- fled with this explanation, but from what can be learned it is doubtful if the other ‘Embassadors will be satisfied. It would be an insult to thelr sovereigns, from their point of view, to be seated after Justices of the Bupreme Court. If a sov- engaged 10,000 mounted banditt! near Shingking recently.

Admiral Dewey, although far from welil, will probably appear in the !nauguration parade and at the ceremonies at the Cap- itol, but his declination to attend the in- auguration ball will stand. The admiral's physician will not permit him to go out after nightfall. As scon as he feels strong enough to stand a rallway journey the admiral will go to Florida. In the inaug- uration parade Admiral Dewey will ride with Lieutenant General Miles and be seated on the righthand side of the ca riage to denote his seniority over the com- manding general of the army. Ome of tha admiral’'s personal friends and official as- soclates denied to-day that the admiral's declination to attend the inaugural ball was caused by the selection of Miles as chairman of the ball committee, of wiich the admiral s a member. Colonel Roosevelt and Family. Vice President-elect Roosevelt, accom- | panied by his wife and children, reached Washington at 4:5 p. m. on the Congres- sional limited train of the Pennsylvania Raiiroad, which was more than an hour late, owing to the crush of inaugural travel. His entry was as quiet as could well be imagined. Mrs. Cowles, his sister and wife of Commander Cowles of the navy, was at the station to meet- him. | Owing to the confusion of ‘schedules it was difficult to teil one train from an- other and the probablility is that she would have missed her distinguished brother in the hurrying crowd had not one of Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Riders come to the rescue. Catching Mrs. Cowles by the arm he rushed her through the crowd to head oft the Roosevelt party, at that moment ‘wedged between a paggage truck and the side of the car. Tha children were kissed all around and then the party stepped of a side exit, avoiding the dense of pecpla waltinx behind the the far end of the platform. The party went at onice to Commander Cowles’ resi- dence, where the Vice President-elect will remain until after the uguration. COOPER DENIES THAT HE IS A BIGAMIST Says He Would Rather Die Than Go Back to San Quentin Prison. OGDEN, Utah, March 2—Harry Cooper, who was arrested Thursday night on s charge of forgery, has confessed that he recently served a term in San Quentin penitentiary and that if He was returned to California he would be sent over the road. The confessfon was made to De- téctive Pender and Chiéf of Police Con- lisk. Cooper, however, still insists that he is not a bigamist. The prisoner denied the confession to the Assoclated Press correspondent, but .the police pronounce it true. Cooper was racked. with remorse to-night. He paced the fldor of his eceil and to Chief Conlisk sald he would rather die than be returned to San Quentin, as he knew what it was-there. DRIVEN TO SUICIDE . BY POLITICAL.

Ga., March 2.—Solicitor Gen- eral Hope Pollill, of this circuit of the Superior Court, one of the most prominent men in the State, was found dead in the courthouse this morning with a bullet- hole In his head.
