On that day a column of Boers, which had been keeping in touch with Mahon' s command, attacked him . According to the British accounts the Boers were severely defeated, leaving eighteen dead on the field. Then Mahon made a wide detour and joined Plumer. . The" united force marched against the be siegers who finally fled, taking their guns but losing a number of prisoners and eighty killed. It is stated that the Irish-American airtbulance corps, who had joined the fighters, were almost annihilated. Mahon and Plumer entered the town Mav 18.

Marion Butler, chariman Peoples' 3?arty committee, Washington, D.C. jpear Sir: Replying to yours of 16th fastant requesting a joint discussion between the republican and populist candidates issues of the campaign are main- involved in the proposed suffrage endments submitted by the recent legislature and the election law enact ed by that body. Both of these were indorsed by the recent democratic state convention, and by them made the lading Issues of the campaign. They are fraught with such dangers to the liberties of. the people and strike so vi tally at our republican form of gov ernment, that all other questions di cing political parties in this state sf&k into such insignificance that a cfimon effort should be made to en tl Ijten the people and warn them of .HI lr threatened danger, al'ffn my opinion the objections urged t your fetate convention againsjt the suffrage amendments and your ar raignment of the election law were so strong that ,no one' who agrees with yff Qr;who believes "in equal rights. to all and special privileges to none' (which as I understand is one of the cardinal principles of your party) can take issue with the republican organ ization in their avowed opposition to these measures. The people in the state are so arous ed asrainst these measures, which are the results of the broken pledges of the democratic organization made in the campaign of 1898, that their attention cannot be drawn at this time . to the discussion of national questions upon which the republican and populist par ties are at variance. Believing that it is the desire of your organization in the state to discuss all issues dispassionately and allow all men tr vote and act as their consciences dictate, I would have no objection to a discussion with your candidates upon any public question about which we differ. Respectfully, A Chariman republican committee. Greensboro, N. C, May 18. Beckham Wins in the Supreme Court, One Justice Dissenting. Washington, May 21. The Kentucky governorship case was today decided by the United States supreme court in the interest of Beckham, affirming the decision of the court of appeals of Kentucky. v The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller and the case was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. He said the court should 'be the last to ov erstep the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction and that the determina tion of cases of this character of con tests for state offices must necessarily be settled hy the political branch of the erovernment. That branch acted in the Kentucky case when the general assembly took jurisdiction. There was no appeal from the assem bly's decision which was favorable to ttoebel and Beckham, eicept to the tri bunal of the people .which tribunal, the 'chief justice said, was always in session. He also said the case was purely a state case that Kentucky was in full possession of its faculties as a member of the union and that there was no emergency at this time calling for interference. The court says: "For more than one hundred years the constitution of Kentucky has pro vided that contested elections for gov ernor and lieutenant governor shall be determined by the general assembly. In 1799, 'by a committee to be selected from both houses of thf general assem bly and framed and regulated In such manner as shall be directed by law;' 1850, 'By both houses of the general as sembly according to such regulations as may be established by law.' The highest court in the state has often held and in the present case has again declared that under their constitu tional provisions the power of the general assembly to determine the result is exclusive and that its de cision is not open to judicial review. (Authorities quoted here.) On the stat ute enacted for the purpose of carry ing the provisions of the constitution into effect has been in existence in sub stance since 1799 anJ maf of the states have similar constitutional pro visions and similar statutes. We do not understand this Statute to be ob jected to as in any manner obnoxious to constitutional objection, but the ilalntlff in error complains of the ac tion of the general assembly under the statute under the ; judgment of the state courts declining to disturb that action." ThP oninion of the Kentucky was not unanimous, one tices dissenting. THE TIME LIMIT OF PREACHERS Question of Its Removal Dis cussed at the Chicago Conference. Argument Against the An cient Custom.
