Many of the poor in the crowded tenement districts of Rome gave up their household effects pristine condition will amount to many to the greedy floods. Others contracted thousands of dollars. When the Tiber goes on a rampage it is a turbulent stream, showing no mor©xrespect to malarial diseases from the damp con­ ditions about their houses after the waters had receded. curred. Johnson cut Hardy's throat and fled, and has not been captured. Hardy's wounds are fatal. The third •murder occurred at Brooklyn. Mayor Frederick Vanderberg shot and fatally wounded Nelson Freedman, a butcher, as the result of a quarrel over a game of carded erence to "an unfortunate mistaking of the enemy for Brabant's horse, which resulted in the sounding of 'Cease fire,' and enabled the Boers to occupy all the commanding positions, the British retiring from a difficult predicament." General Clements' success against the Boers in the Magaliesberg region is also doubtful, the last dispatch reporting that "It was considered advisable not to force the Boers from their positions." Lord Kitchener, according to a dispatch from Johannesburg, has issued a proc­ lamation from Pretoria announcing that burghers voluntarily surrendering will be allowed to live with their fam­ ilies in the government laagers until such time as guerrilla warfare has sufficiently abated to admit of their re­ turning in safety to their homes. The proclamation also promises that all property and stock brought in at the time of surrender will be respected and paid for if requisitioned by the mili­ tary authorities. Mr. Duplessis, a member of the Africander bond and of the Cape Assembly, has sent a letter te the electors of Cradock expressing sympathy for the Boers, but urging the Dutch colonists to remain calm and quiet, and not to forget that they are British subjects.

The arrest in Fort Dodge, la., Sun­ day of a man with $4,000 in gold in his possession is construed by the local police as. a most important develop­ ment in the Cudaby kidnaping case. Descriptions of the man were tele­ graphed to Chicago and here, and the description of the prisoner tallies with that of the "light" man supposed to be leader of the abductors. A dispatch from Michael Crowe,-a brother of Pat Crowe, so frequently mentioned in con-' nection with the kidnaping, says that the description of the Fort Dodge captive agrees with that of an ac­ quaintance he knows was in Omaha at the time of the abduction of young Cudahy. He insists the prisoner |« $o| hl> brother. ; • ^ Indiana Rafastf to The Dawes Indian commission which has just examined the Mississippi Choctaws to find out who among them are entitled to a share in the division of tbe Choctaw lands, informed the In­ dians that to secure their share of 500 acres each it would be necessary to move to the Indian Territory. - With­ out an exception, however, the Miss­ issippi Choctaws have refused to move to the territory.
