Plumer's Whole Force Was Compelled to Retire- Melhtfen's Advance Meets Stubborn Opposition. Free State Boers Ordered to the De fense of the Transvaal. Also Mobilizing in Large Numbers at Kroonstad. KRUGER REUORTED TO HAVE IS SUED A PROCLAMATION-IENI- - ENCT TO THE PRISONERS AT CAPE TOWN CRITICISED. London, March 24. Wi'th the confir mation of the repulse of Colonel Plum er's advance guard and the retirement of (his whole force on March 16 from Lobatsi to Crocodile, Pools the hopes of an early relief for Mafeking are again seriously disappointed. A report comes from Pretoria through the Daily Nes correspondent that Commandant Eloff is isolating Plumer's force near Gaber- ones. General Methuen's advance from the south, if, indeed, its objective is really Maf eking, proceeds slowly. A despatch from Warrenton reports stubborn Boer opposition to his pas sage of the Vaal riveV. The Free State Boers in the northwest, who have re turned to their farms, have been again commandeered and ordered into the Transvaal, presumably to resist the British advance. , From the Boer camp at Kroonstad come renewed assurances of the burgh ers' determination and confidence. Commandos are now mobilizing in great numbers. The Free Staters, who were away on leave of absence, are returning in crowds, the president's proclamation having shown that the government was standing firm. The situation at Bloemfontein seems to be unchanged. Nothing more has been heard from either side as to the rumor ed disaster to General Gatacre. FREE STATE TOWN OCCUPIED. Cape Town, March 23. Major Cum- mings occupied Rouxville, Orange Free State, on Tuesday. Landrost took the oath of allegiance and was appointed magistrate. Attorney Smuts and six ty others have also taken the oath of allegiance . RELIEF IS FAR AWAY London, March 23. Colonel Plumer apparently has retired to Crocodile pont, and Mafeking seems further off than ever .from relief This news is contained in a dispatch from Buoloyao, dated Monday and published in the second edition of the Tiroes. These ad vices add that the base of the hospital- had been brought back to Gaberones. The correspondent further states that the object of the Boer demonstration Monday and Tuesday was to cover .the movement of seige guns from Mafe king. General French's activity in the Or ange Free State may well be the pre liminary to a forward movement, by order of Lord Roberts of the main ar my. A dispatch from Bloemfontein dated yesterday says: "Kruger is reported to have issued a proclamation declaring that Great Britain is in dire straits and that the Russians have occupied Lon don." A Springfontein telegram published in the second edition of the Times says: "The apparently submissive attitude of the Free Staters should be accepted -with caution. The large proportion or obsolete inferior weapons being turned in toy them to the British is giving tRe impression that the largest stores of modern mausers are being concealed.

London, March 23. General. Fores -tier-Walker has cabled to the war of fice: "Cape Town, March 3. Colonel Nicholson (commanding general of Rhodesia) telegraphs from Buluwayo, March 16, as follows: 'I have receiv ed the following from Colonel Plumer, dated Lobatsi, March 14: "The Boers advanced from the south in considera ble force this morning. They first ad vanced fegm Goode's siding. After a sharp little engagement the advanced outposts were compelled to retreat, which was excellently carried out. Our losses are three wounded, two prisoners and two missing. The Boer casualties are not known. ' Several were shot at very close range. In the afternoon the Boers advanced and shelled our posi tion from a ridge to the left. The ar tillery fire was kapt up until sunset A lieutenant and a native were killed.' " ERNE WINS LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Unfortunate Accident in the Twelfth Round Gives Him Decision. New Tork, Marh 23. Frank Erne is the light weight champion of the world. He earned the title at the Broadway Athletic club tonight when he was prononunced conqueror of Joe Gans in the twelfth round . But the battle was not decisive enough to prove to the adherents of Gans he was out classed. The end was due solely to an unfortunate accident. The twelfth round had scarcely began when the pugilists tried simultaneous swings. As 'they ducked their heads collided with a crash. Gans received an ugly wound over the left eye and also a percepti ble dent in the bone. The blood came in, torrents and the Baltimore man was quickly blinded. He was also in so much agony that he did not seem to know where he was. Erne was about to sail in when Gans told the referee that it would be impossible for him to continue, so White was , compelled to give the verdict to the Buffalo man. .although some of Gans' friends declar ed their man had been foully butted. In justice to Erne it must be said that there were no grounds for such a charge. .

Washington, March 23. The confer ence report on the $2,000,000 Porto Rican bill was agreed to in the senate today hy a vote of 35 to 15. Most of the ses sion was devoted to debate on the re Port, in which Mr. Tillman's remarks, which were made in his characteristic outspoken way, were the feature. Af ter declaring his unalterable opposition to the report he proceeded to lash the republicans, whom he characterized as a happy family." He demanded to know whether McKinley stood for free trade, or whether he was, figuratively speaking, a prisoner of war doLnsr th bidding of certain interests in Porto Rican products. He challenged Mr. Foraker to explain hfc position, and -the latter declared he had done so in the committee' s report. Messrs. Spooner, Perkins and Gal- inger were, the other conspicuous par ticipants in the debate. They all de fended the report and resented Till man's assertions. The debate was closed by Mr.. Tillman daring the re publicans to submit to a vote on the question whether the. constitution ex tended to Porto Rico or not. Mr. Spooner, speaking for the republicans, declined the -challenge, saying they would probably transact their, business in their own way. The house received the conference report on the $2,000,000 Porto Rican ap propriation bill near the close of the session today, and an agreement was made to vo'te on its1 adoption tomorrow. A number of miscellaneous bills and private pension bills were passed be fore adjournment. Washington, March 23. Representa tive Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts, pre sented a resolution in the house today directing attention to the fact that sev eral persons have been indicted in New York for producing a nlav called Sappho," declaring the transmission of that publication through the mails a violation of the law, and directing the postmaster general to take steps to prevent such transmission. The bill introduced by Representa tive Lane, of Iowa, providing' for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the purchase of the Louisiana territory by holding an- exposition of art, indus tries, manufactures, and the products of the soil, mines, forest and sea at St. Louis calls for two commissioners to be appointed by the - governor of each state and eight commissioners at large to be selected by the president, who will have direction over the ex position. The bill appropriates $5,000, 000. It goes intr all the details of the exposition and fs lengthy. It is un derstood! this measure will meet with considerable opposition, as the appro priation is large. Claims are made that Speaker Henderson is opposed to the bill, and if this is true it will be a difficult matter to have the measure adopted. The plan of procedure in the matter of Porto Rican legislation that seems likely noV to be determined upon by the " republican "peace" committee of the senate, is that some 'time next week a bill following the general lines pi the house measure, .imposing a duty of 15 per cent of the Dingley tariff rate upon Porto Rican products entering the Unfted States, and vice versa, shall be called1 up for passage. The bill will not differ in any essential partic ular from that which the house passed a couple of weeks ago. In fact it will be practically the same. This program is different from the one originally proposed by the "peace" committee In that the diuty is to be levied at both ends instead of only at our end. The plan differs in another respect also, namely, that the house tariff bill, instead of being incorporated as an amendment in the Porto Rican gov ernment bill, will be acted upon separ ately. Pending the calling up of the1 tariff measure the dehate on the gov ernment hill will continue. In thisi latter respect the original proposition of the committee will be carried out It is claimed, by the advocates of a duty that the house bill will certainly pass, de- BAKER & CO., ...

Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, un disputed leader of the Granite State democracy for a quarter of a century, is In Washington this Week. Mr. Jones has renounced all connection with the democratic party, and will vote and work for McKinley this year. "More than that, I expect to see McKinley elected," he safd. "I do not think there is any doubt of this." For sixteen years, up to 1896, Mr. Jones was the chairman of the delegation from v New Hampshire to the democratic national convention. He was a delegate to the convention which nominated Bryan, but when he found that free silver was a certainty in the platform he broke away from the party hefore the con vention ended. He voted for McKin ley in 1896, but did not announce any change in party affiliations until, this yeaj, hoping the 'democrats would give up silver. Recently he declared him self a republican, and he has just been elected a delegate to the Philadelphia convention by the 'New Hampshire re publicans. CHAIRMAN JONES WILL BE UNSEATED Several Candidates for the Position Mentioned. New York, March 23.

Court House Filled With Deputies and Soldiers. 7 Eight of the Prosecution's Witnesses Examined, Secretary of State Powers the Firtt Man Placed on Trial. EFFORTS TO SHOW THAT SHOTS CAME FROM POWERS' OFFICE SOME SENSATIONAL STORIES COMB TO NAUGHT. Frankfort, March 23. The trial of Secretary of Sta'te Powers, W. H. cuiton and John Davis, charged as ac cessories to the crime of the murder of Willliam E.Goebel, began today. The general public were excluded by order of Judge Moore, only attorneys, rela tives of the accused, witnesses and of ficers of the court being admitted. The Lexington and Winchester companies, armed with Winchesters, were scatter ed through the various rooms. The examination of eight witnesses consumed the entire day. The com monwealth selected Powers, of the three persons under arrest,' to be triedf first. The court house was filled with the deputies and soldiers, and deputies were stationed in the adjoining houses. heavily armed, ready to quell any de monstration on the part of the prison ers' friends. The trial proceeded with out anyxtnusual Incident. Gounty At- . torney Palsgmve 'and two other law yers conducted the prosecution While several lawyers, headed 'by ex-Govern-or Brown, appeared for the defense.. Each side summoned a large number of witnesses. Among the witnesses summoned by the defense Is Undertak er Menhinger, -who prepared Goebel's body for burial. He failed to answer and an attachment was asked for him. Despite objection by the prosecution. Judge Moore sustained the motion by the defense that the commonwealth present the names of all its witnesses. Wharton Golden is the most important witness In the case and on his testi mony the prosecution mainly relies to obtain conviction. Eph Lillard, warden of the Frank fort penitentiary, was 'the first wit ness. He was with Gbebel when the latter was shot. He was just entering the state house when 'the shot was fir ed. He looked toward! the executive building and saw the second winuow in a corner room slightly raised. This was the office of the secretary of state. He thought the shot had been fired from this room. The first shot was evidently fired from a rifle, while the others seemed to be from pistols. Policeman Wingate said he saw armed men at the entrance to the exec utive building and recognized John Davis and Berry Howard among them. Detective Armstrong, of Louisville, said that after the authorities allowed detec'tives to enter the executive building, several days after the shootf ing, he visited various offices for the purpose of securing names of persons in the building at the time of the (Continued on fourth page.)
