But his plan of defence had bees adopted, and the Boers and Free Staters alike had confidence in him. Joobert would hare been a foeman worthy of General Roberts's steel. His death •will deprive the Boers of the only leader really ccinpetent to direct the defence of their coun- try. He has beer, killed off so often by news- ::. -.-• durir^ the war that nothing- short of a Coroner's irfjuest will satisfy suspicious Eng- lishmen that he is dead. He was. however, an .old rsan when the war begran. and he had suf- fered from exposure and the result of illness in the Xatal campaign. All the references of tie English prees to General Joubert are kind Enfi appreciative. Ke and Chief Justice Kotze have been regarded by South Africans as Boers cf real nobility of character, whose minds were ret perverted by ambition and selfishness. War sew? remains meagre and unintelligible. The censorship has been revived with the re- turn cf GeneraJ Kitchener to General Roberts's fcead quarters, and the correrpondents are not allowed t^ explain what if= poir.g on. Such cues as: are E-applied are misleadinj? and are meant to deceive both the enemy north of the capi- tal ar:tf newspaper writers in England. The tac- tics adopted by the censor are those which were fjccessful when General Roberts's advance toward Kimberley was under contemplation. Even the War Office does not know what is Soir.p cs.

Th» principal feature of the Quigjr-G-: Set" fight yesterday, aside from the Joy In the Gmber camp over Tuesday's victory at the primaries in the XXlst Assembly District, was. to most minds, the statement made by Aiistia. and In- spired by Quisrg-. that the Platt organization would not abide by the decision of an over- whelming majority of the Republicans of the district that they want Colonel Gruber to rep- resent them in the County Committee, bat would begin at once the work of overthrowing- him at the September primaries. The Republi- can candidate for President of the United States will be nominated in June, and Quids'! resolve means that the majority or the P.epubU- cans in the XXlst will not be able to give their undivided attention all summer to> working- far that candidate, but will be forced to expend their energies and their time, \u25a0 pan at least, until the fall flghtinjr for the klrd of repre- sentation they desire In the councils of their party. "What a spectacle that is:*' said Colonel Gra- ber yesterday. "The president of the County Committee, whose duty it is to promote har- mony within the party. • is instead seen to be- busily engaged, in the face of an approaching; National campaign, in rending apart the banner Republican district of this county. I am now considering what stand I shall take upon that proclamation. I have not made up my mind yet whether I shall to the h;?h»st political court in the country and a?k for a writ Ii itinaric* lnquirendo for Quie^— for It must be apparent that the president of the County Committee hi crazy if he really desir»s the success of the Re- publican party—or whether I shaH take some other course and come to the conclusion i as Quijrg does not really desire the Republicans to win any victories over the Democrats of Xevr- Tork. I will make a speech at the Assembly District Convention next week, and It la prob- able that I shall have something -- -.. definite \u25a0-, say about this resolve cf Qui^sr and Austin not to abide by the decision of the majority of the district." A STATEMENT BY QUIGG. Quigg with characteristic effrontery accuses) Gruber of maintaining a guerilla warfare in his district upon the whole Republican party. Ha is quoted a? saying yesterday: WPm What Gruber is undertaking to do 13 to create & personal following in the XXIst District, and wher- ever else he can. to mair a sort of srueriila war- fare -in the Republican party. That, is the purpoaa and the motive of everyThir.e tie says and does. His opposition to my re-elt-ction as president of tile County Committee was niie without consultation In his district. The members of h:s own delegation had no idea that he intendt-d to offer opposition. Ia his speech he said distinctly that he was not op- posing me. that he did not want his remarks con- strued into personal opposition to me. but that ha was opposed to the Republican State organization, and it was that explicit decki ration which caiised Mr. Austin an<i his friends to take the field against Gruber. He has *lnce modified his statements and has concentrated his opposition upon me. out. oJ course, that deceives nobodj who does no: wish to be deceived. Mr. Grnber had been committing his election 1 a- trict captains to his cnuse for many months befora he broke out in his County Committee speech de- claring himself against the arat? organisation. Maav of his captains never understood the l3su» until' within the last ten cays or ttri weeks. tna their word hr. i been given. They tnen felt that they could no: change without laying themselves open to the charge of treachery. They understand the situation better new and realize that Gruber is trying to lead them into a guerilla warfare against the Republican organization. Mr. Austin had the support of the great .JO' the indepen-ien: Republicans. He polled over six- teen hundre ? votes. «o well distributed arnosg all tH» pipction districts as to prove that his organiza- tion can he perfected ir. every fistrict. "When Mr. Austin began to eet his friends toeether. which waa no longer than six weeks ago. he was compelled to create an entirely new organization in thirty out of: fnrty-rhree elation districts. Mr. Austin has suc- ceeded in polUng a magnificent vote, ant! so large a vote la each district as to sive him now a thor- cuehly effective organization. He Is to be con- gratulated. -RISES FROM UNDER THE WHEELS." When Gruber was informed that . . ™ was congratulating Austin on the result of his work he said: When you take Quip? into a political \u25a0at ma over him as If you were a locomotive, cut ofl his arms and mnsh his face into a jelly, he rises from under the wheels and in trlurr.p'nant tones calls attention to the injuries he ha 3 inflicted oa the train.

QUIGG WONT ABIDE BY DISTRICT'S DECISION. NO PEACE FOR GRCBER. WILL NOT VISIT RUSSIA. BOER DELEGATES COMING TO THIS COUN- TRY BY WAY OF BERLIN. Berlin, March 28.—Dispatches have bees pub- lished here announcing that the Boer peace envoys, Messrs. "-' ilmarns, Fischer and Wesaeis, are coming to l>erlln, and will then go to St. Petersburg. The correspondent of The Associ- ated Press, when Inquiring: with reference to the matter at the Foreign Office this evening, was informed that no is:format!on had been received regarding the Intention of the Boer Commis- sioners, and that, in fact, even their coming had not been officially made known to the Foreign Office. From another source it was ascertained that the delegation will arrive early next month a: Naples, on the maM steamer Kaiser, and will then go direct to York, by way of Berlin and Brussels, not visiting Russia at all. KRFBGEB TO TAKE COMMAND Brussels, March 28 —A private dispatch has l»e--n received here frjm Pretoria which says that PreFident Kniger wfl] n.>\\ taX* 1 chief com- mand of the Transvaal forces. ha wns nineteen years "id. In spite of this lack of tional advantages he acquired \u25a0 f.iir knowl- edge of history and the languages through his own efforts. Joubert was taught from childhood to hate the British, and -when the latter acquired Natal he de- cided to move on into the Transvaal. Here his abilities ati a fighter soon brought him to the front, for in the frequent conflicts with the blacks his capacity as a leader against the natives caused his services to be in great demand. It was in one of these expeditions to put down a native rising that .loubort made the acquaintance of Kriiger. They became fast friends, and although they were some- times rivals for the Presidency and differed on mat- ters of policy, they were always devoted to each other. It wa» In the late seventies when Joubert drat saw any of the world outside of South Africa. He then accompanied Kriiger to London, and with him sought the Independence of the Transvaal. On their return to South Africa from their unsuccess- i ful mission Joubert joined Kriiger and Pretorius In the triumvirate that declared the republic inde- pendent. In the war with Great Britain that fol- lowed Jonbert distinguished himself for the i.. _-t time, so., far as the work outside of South Africa was concerned, by defeating the British forces under Sir George Colley at Majuba HillIn18S4. The straightforwardness of the character of Jou- bert is shown by two incidents. The first was in 1877, when, after Sir TheopaJlua Shepstone issued his proclamation annexing the Transvaal to the British Government, Kriiger and the other coun- cillors, after formally protesting against the act, nevertheless straightway took office as British of- ficials. Joubert, on the other hand, positively re- fused to accept such an office, for in doing bo he must swear allegiance to the British Crown and recognize Its sovereignty. Again, in ISS4. when, im- mediately afer the Boers had signed the conven- tion with Great Britain by which the borders of the republic were defined, they seized Bechuanaland and attempted to annex It, Joubert stopped the movement by refusing to lead the army. "I posi- tively refuse," he declared, "to hold office under a government that deliberately breaks its covenants, and we have made covenants with England." The success of the Transvaal against Great Britain in 18S1 and the ability of the Boers in the present war to hold the British arm-.- in chock for so many months was no doubt largely due to Gen- eral Jouben organization of the South African forces. In preparing for the contest which he thought was sure to come •• divided the country into seventeen military departments, a; ' each de- partment again and again into small* divisions, with commanders, field cornets and lie; ?nants of various ranks in .-;i;irp>-. Every man !n the Trans- vaal became a trained soldier without leaving his farm. Every man had his complete equipment ready at home. Every mar. was pledged to appear at an appointed spot at the summons. To mobilize the entire force of- the republic Joub^rt had Utsend only sevf-ntetn telegrams. The word passed down the' line, and in an Incredibly short time hundreds of post riders carried the summons from- farm to farm. '.- was Joubert. too. who was responsible for the purchase of the excellent artillery employed by the Eoers. Although he had early become the military leader of the Boers, he aspired to civil (Bee too. At various times he served as State Attorney and as Vice-President, ana for a short time once was Acting President. But he never attained his am- bition to be President of the republic, though once or twice be was nearly successful in defeating his rival. President Krilger. On one of these occasions when he was defeated, at the close of the election Krliger shook hands with his friend and appointed him Commandt-r-ln-Chlef. It was reported by some authorities that Joubert was. In the earlier contest with the British. In- clined to make no use of diplomacy: also, that after he had caught Dr. Jameson .and his raiders, he favored their Immediate execution. Bui at the be- ginning of the present war be showed a more mod- erate spirit. It was Kriiger who dragged the Trans- vaal into the war, while Joubert favored a further appeal for diplomacy. In appearance Joubert was about five feet ten inches in height and solidly built. He had a bushy gray beard and n face tanned by the African sun. Thipre was not an ace of superfluous flesh on him. He was strong as an ox, and p - Best an endurance that was remarkable for \u25a0 man of sixty-eight yean*. As a tactician he acted se- verely on the defensive, concealing his men behind earthworks and other obstacles, and trusted to their marksmanship to prevent their position from being taken. Reports of his ill health have been common of late, and there were stories, too. of his unpopularity and loss of authority: but the more general opinion wus that he w;is superintending the construction of defences for Pretoria in readiness for the expected Flepe by L^rd Roberts. H'.s death, following the capture of Cronje, derives the Boers of the services of their two most able commanders. It is known that none of Andrew Carnegie's partners possess large amounts of ready cash. If he should attempt to dispose of any of his holdings to them he could not secure sufficient cash, and the competition for such securities would not advance the stock to Its :roper value. By listing the same he can get the moneyed in- teracts of the world to bid on his stock. If he elects to sell. The charge that he desires to coerce hla partners will aleo be removed. James B. Dill, attorney for the Carnegie Company, started for New-York to-night- Mr. Prick also went East. CARXEGIE stock TO HE' LISTED. Pittsburg, Mar :> (Special).— The Carnegie Company will soon make provision tar listing its stock on the New-York Exchange. This was learned to-night from a leading member of fhe company, who refused to allow himself to be quoted. Just why it aril] be listed, when It is morally certain that there will be no shares of- fered to the public, he refused to state. ItIs sur- mised, however, that Andrew Carnegie is dcing this to make provision for the future increase in value of the stock, and to obtain for it the high- •-!-: market price. It is a matter for regret that, owing to the. state of the roads and of our horses. Command- ant Grobelar's commando of six thousand men, from Colesberg and the southern districts, go« away north by travelling day and night close to the Basuto border before our force could hope to get near them. The latest new? la that the Boerp have forty thousand men still under arms, of whom ten thousand are in and around the Natal border. Although tents and stores are reaching- here, a block on the railway is delaying- arrivals from the south considerably. It la asserted that twenty thousand Boers are mass"d at Kroon- atad. A dispatch to "The Daily Mall" from Loureneo Marques, dated Wednesday, says: The French Colonel VHlebois de Mareuil has been appointed to the command of the Foreign Legion, which is operating in the Free State. General Prinsloo (recently arrested) is charged by the Boers with high treason. .• \u25a0 . '- A Pretoria dispatch says: Michael Davit: had an interview with Presi- dent Krtiarer to-day. A dispatch to "The Daily Mail" from Pieter- maritzburg. dated Wednesday, March 2S, says British scouts have thoroughly reconnoitred the passes of the Drakenaberg Range. The number of Boers holding- them does not exceed two thousand, who are working half-heartedly in constructing lntrenrhments. Meanwhile, all the important towns In the Free State within Lord Roberta's reach are be- ing garrisoned. Thaba Nchu, Phillppolis. Faure- srr.ith and Jagersfontein are thus held. Sir Alfred Milner is touring m the disturbed newly acquired territory, investigating condi- tions and arranging the administration. He Is understood to be getting materials for a report to Mr. Chamberlain concerning: a plan of civil government. The Bloemfontein correspondent cf "The Dally Telegraph." In a dispatch dated Tuesday, March 27, says: BOERS HAVE FORTY THOUSAND MEN. OLLIVTER AND HIS BIG COMMANDO ESCAPE TO THE NORTHWARD. London. March 29.— General French, who has arrived at Bloemfontein from Thaba Nchu. says that Commandant Ollivier has six thousand men and is north of Ladybrand. Immense quantities of stores have now been accumulated at Bloemfontein, and Lord Rob- erts' infantry is seemingly about 4o move. An impression, which can be traced to the War Office, is abroad that the advance will begin next Monday. Boer observation parties are hov- ering near Bloemfcntein, but Lord Roberts has 13T> miles to cover before reaching the great po- sition which the Boers are preparing at Kroon- stad. Moving ten miles a day is probably the best he can do with field transport. Therefore he can hardly engage the Boers in force for two weeks. The reconstruction of the railway behind him may even delay an invasion of the Trans- vaal until May. BRITISH THAXKS FOR A WARNING. London.

Trains are frequently leaving with burghers for the fighting line on this side of Bloemfontein. "The Standard and Diggers' News',' says It learns that Generals Olivier.

Mr. Demll contended that this line of Inquiry was not cross-examination. Mr. Untermyer insisted It was. as showing a motive or animus. "When did you have your first difference with District Attorney Gardiner?" he asked the Re- CO ' FIF I Cannot say." \u25a0 say " "Tea," 1 murmured the Recorder. "Thirty?" "Yep." with a little hesitation. Mr. Ur.termyer continued to protest and Mr. Demlng- changed tht- lint- of questioning and asked If the witness knew of any cases that were in- efficiently tried by the District Attorney's offl'.-e. Recorder GofT saiil he did. Recorder Goff told of the meeting of the judges in December. IK)S. and the passac. of the resolu- tions referred to by Juclpe Cowing. Asked about the practice of the Judges in considering an ap- plication for discharge of bail or the dismissal of an indictment, the Krrorder said it was up'jal to accept the statements of the District Attorney without further investigation. The reason for the judges' demand for a dally calendar Recorder Goff gave as "the almost unani- mous complaint of the bar." Many letters were received from witnesses whose time had been wasted and who declined to attend court again. "In many such cases." said the Recorder, "mis- curriages of Justice resulted." UNTERMYER IN A RAGE. This statement brought- Mr. Untermyer to his feet. "Make him specify." he appealed to the Com- missioner. "How can we answer these wild accu- sations?" replied the Recorder.

To you know of ten FU^h '-ases"" he asked the Recorder <soff also said the memorandum of the agreement between the Judges and the District At- torney's office was written by Mr.Gar.ilner, and was not true. Judge Cowing testified before the Re- corder about the trouble over the daily calendar which the District Attorney was required to pre- pare. The hearing was resumed in Part VIIIof the Supreme Court before Ansley Wllcox. th«» com- missioner appointed by Governor Roc sevelt. Deputy Attorney General J. H. Coyne and hi:» special deputies. Horace E. • mlng and Arthur F. Cosby, were present, as were Fulton McMahon and the Rev. T. R. Slicer. of the City Club Committee. Judge Rufus B. Cowing was \u25a0:. Oral witness called. Ha said he bad been .i Judge of the Gen- eral Sessions Court for twenty-two years. When asked about the rules adopted by the Judges in December of last year regarding the presenta- tion of the cases. Judge Cowing paid that cften the Deputy Assistant District Attorneys delayed the pro- ceedings of the courts while they examined their witnesses. Other Judges found the same cause of complaint, and a rule was adopted that all cases should be prepared out of court. The clerk of the Judges sent a copy of the resolution to the District Attorney. At the same meeting of the Judges It was decided that a full Assistant District Attorney must be in charge of each case In court. A letter to Mr Gardiner. Including the resolu- tions, was read for the record. One of the reasons for the rules relating to the presentation of cases, Judge Cowing said, was that the motions and applications for dismissals of In- dictments, etc.. might appear on the daily calendar and be open to the public. Judge Cowing said as a rule the Judges rely on the statements of the District Attorney or his assistants when an ap- plication is made for a dismissal of bail. Some- times, but rarely. In his own practice. Judge Cow- ing said, he made personal Investigation of the facts on such application. Regarding the complaints that regular adjourn- ments were necessary in 1898 because the defend- ants or their counsel had not received sufficient notification. Judge Cowing said he bad no personal knowledge. Attorneys had cften pleaded that they were taken by surprise. Often the District At- torney was not ready to try the cases that ap- peared on the calendar for the day. Replying to questions from. Mr. Demlnsr. Judge Cowing told the story of the establishment of the dally calendar. The Judges ordered the calendars prepared, and Mr. Gardiner objected that they had no power to make such an order. The Judges' in- structions to the District Attorney and his reply were put in evidence. Both were published In Marr-h last year. Referring to the complaint of the Assistant Dis- trict Attorneys preparing the cases in court, the witness said there is no law by which the District Attorney can compel the attendance of witnesses, except under subpoena to r.ppear in court. Speak- ing of the daily calendar of twenty or twenty-five cases. Judge Cowing said: "If all the persons in- dicted by the Grand Jury were to stand trial ten courts would not suffice." To further questions Judge Cowing said he as- sumed full responsibility for every act of his in discharging ball. RECORDER GOFF ACCUSED OF ENMITY. Recorder Goff followed Judge Cow-Ing on the wit- ness stand. He gave a definition of the jurisdiction of the Court of General Sessions, and said he was a practising lawyer for twenty-six years before he \u25a0went on the bench. Mr. Deming and Mr. Unter- myer argued for some time as to the admisslbility of this question: "Were there many cases where the District At- torney came into court with cas*»s insufficiently prepared?" Mr. Untermyer objected that unless the witness was ready to specify the cases he should not be allowed to answer the question. "We know ail about this case against Colonel Gardiner," -Mr Untermyer argued. "and Your Honor does not. The trouble is between the two men, and we stand ready to show the animus and the reason for it." - i • Mid the Recor I Recorder Goff and Judge Cowing, of the General Sessions, testified yesterday at the hearing of the chargc-s against District Attorney Gardiner. At the cross-examination of Recorder Guff Mr Unter- mj-er said he proposed to show that the Recorder had be*?n encaged in a war on the District Attor- ney. •'You are uttering what is untrue," said the Recorder. "We wish to show that an official in a judicial position is playing politics from the bench," de- clared Mr. Untermyer.

Mr. Nugent said that the offence, if any there was. was committed in the United St^trs, and the requisition should have bepn made upon the Chief Executive of the State of New-York, and any rights the United States Attorney had should have been enforced through the United States Courts. Magistrate Deuel said the .luestlon had never arisen before, and that It requlrfd time to ex- amine it.

"As soon as official maps from surveyors ars re- ceived from Cuba the company," Mr. Rideout added, "will begin to issue deeds." These maps, he explained, are expected within the next two weeks.

AN OFFICIAL REPORT TO GENERAL WOOD— THE COMPANY'S STATEMENT. Havana. Mar 3 — Governor-General Wood has received the report of Major Hatfield. of the sth Cavalry, stationed at Puerto Principe, who was detailed to investigate the colony of La Gloria. It says the roads leading there are poor and go four and a half miles inland through a swamp, which is practically impassa- ble in the rainy season. The ground is thickly wooded, but will be fertile when cleared. Th-=»re are 17." people there at present, including women and children. Rations are plentiful, but very expensive. There have been no fresh meats since the camp was established. All the colonists are living in tents, and the sanitary arrangements are bad. The company, it is added, does not possess deeds to the property, not having kept up the payments, an consequently the colonists are suspicious. Th» company, it is further asserted, har« failed completely to carry out Ha promises. The company, It is also stated, possesses ten poni**s, two mules, three wagons and one small launch, running irregularly to Nuevitas. Another report will shortly be made r"gardtn? those ho were form colonists, but who are now at Puerto Principe and Nuevitas. LA GLORIA COT.OXY UNKNOWN FILIBUSTER ESCAPES CAPTURE IN THE DARKNESS.

One re- port is that drinking contaminated cistern water caused the illness; another is that It is due to eating pork. The family had eaten meat from a hog that was butchered on the farm, and 11 is reported that the animal had hog cholera or some similar disease. Dr. James Douglas, who is the attending physician, says he diagnosed the disease of the family as acute typhoid pneumonia, and has granted death certificates to that effect. The Health authorities and the Prosecutor have b*4n asked to investigate the cause of the deaths. Mr. Burroughs is a wealthy farmer and well known in Morristown.' He has resided for sev- enty years on the farm he now occupies. His wife, who was twenty years his junior;his mar- ried daughter, Mrs. Thompson, and his two sons.

But his plan of defence had bees adopted, andthe Boers and Free Staters alike had confidencein him. Joobert would hare been a foemanworthy of General Roberts's steel. His death•will deprive the Boers of the only leader reallyccinpetent to direct the defence of their coun-try. He has beer, killed off so often by news-::. -.-• durir^ the war that nothing- short of a

Coroner's irfjuest will satisfy suspicious Eng-

lishmen that he is dead. He was. however, an.old rsan when the war begran. and he had suf-fered from exposure and the result of illnessin the Xatal campaign. All the references oftie English prees to General Joubert are kindEnfi appreciative.

Th» principal feature of the Quigjr-G-:Set"fight yesterday, aside from the Joy In the Gmbercamp over Tuesday's victory at the primariesin the XXlst Assembly District, was. to mostminds, the statement made by Aiistia. and In-spired by Quisrg-. that the Platt organizationwould not abide by the decision of an over-whelming majority of the Republicans of thedistrict that they want Colonel Gruber to rep-resent them in the County Committee, batwould begin at once the work of overthrowing-him at the September primaries. The Republi-can candidate for President of the UnitedStates will be nominated in June, and Quids'!resolve means that the majority or the P.epubU-cans in the XXlst willnot be able to give theirundivided attention all summer to> working- farthat candidate, but will be forced to expendtheir energies and their time, \u25a0 pan at least,until the fall flghtinjr for the klrd of repre-sentation they desire In the councils of theirparty.

"What a spectacle that is:*' said Colonel Gra-ber yesterday. "The president of the CountyCommittee, whose duty it is to promote har-mony within the party. • is instead seen to be-busily engaged, in the face of an approaching;National campaign, in rending apart the bannerRepublican district of this county. Iam nowconsidering what stand Ishall take upon thatproclamation. Ihave not made up my mind yetwhether Ishall to the h;?h»st political courtin the country and a?k for a writ Iiitinaric*lnquirendo for Quie^— for It must be apparentthat the president of the County Committee hicrazy if he really desir»s the success of the Re-publican party—or whether IshaH take someother course and come to the conclusion iasQuijrg does not really desire the Republicans towin any victories over the Democrats of Xevr-Tork. Iwill make a speech at the AssemblyDistrict Convention next week, and It la prob-able that Ishall have something

---.. definite \u25a0-,

say about this resolve cf Qui^sr and Austin notto abide by the decision of the majority of thedistrict."

A STATEMENT BY QUIGG.Quigg with characteristic effrontery accuses)

Gruber of maintaining a guerilla warfare in hisdistrict upon the whole Republican party. Hais quoted a? saying yesterday: WPm

What Gruber is undertaking to do 13 to create &personal following in the XXIst District, and wher-ever else he can. to mair a sort of srueriila war-fare -in the Republican party. That, is the purpoaaand the motive of everyThir.e tie says and does.His opposition to my re-elt-ction as president of tileCounty Committee was niie without consultationIn his district. The members of h:s own delegationhad no idea that he intendt-d to offer opposition. Iahis speech he said distinctly that he was not op-posing me. that he did not want his remarks con-strued into personal opposition to me. but that hawas opposed to the Republican State organization,and it was that explicit decki ration which caiisedMr. Austin an<i his friends to take the field againstGruber. He has *lnce modified his statements andhas concentrated his opposition upon me. out. oJcourse, that deceives nobodj who does no: wish tobe deceived.

Mr. Grnber had been committing his election 1a-trict captains to his cnuse for many months beforahe broke out in his County Committee speech de-claring himself against the arat? organisation.Maav of his captains never understood the l3su»until' within the last ten cays or ttri weeks. tnatheir word hr.ibeen given. They tnen felt thatthey could no: change without laying themselvesopen to the charge of treachery. They understandthe situation better new and realize that Gruberis trying to lead them into a guerilla warfareagainst the Republican organization.

Mr. Austin had the support of the great .JO'the indepen-ien: Republicans. He polled over six-teen hundre ? votes. «o well distributed arnosg alltH» pipction districts as to prove that his organiza-tion can he perfected ir. every fistrict. "When Mr.Austin began to eet his friends toeether. which waano longer than six weeks ago. he was compelled to

create an entirely new organization in thirtyout of:fnrty-rhree elation districts. Mr. Austin has suc-ceeded in polUng a magnificent vote, ant! so large avote la each district as to sive him now a thor-cuehly effective organization. He Is to be con-gratulated.

-RISES FROM UNDER THE WHEELS."

When Gruber was informed that . . ™ was

congratulating Austin on the result of his workhe said:

When you take Quip? into a political \u25a0at maover him as If you were a locomotive, cut ofl hisarms and mnsh his face into a jelly, he risesfrom under the wheels and in trlurr.p'nant tonescalls attention to the injuries he ha 3inflicted oathe train. Ifhe were run over by a streetcar, anahad both legs cut off. ifhis body were tilled withtiulletj by fourteen Mauser rt?.es and tf a tan cfnrick fell on him last of all. what do you tiiiriKQulcsr would <1n?

A GREAT VICTORT.

Itell you It was a great victory and makes tharesult of the September primaries a retoaa con-elusior;.

Berlin, March 28.—Dispatches have bees pub-lished here announcing that the Boer peaceenvoys, Messrs. "-' ilmarns, Fischer and Wesaeis,

The correspondent of The Associ-ated Press, when Inquiring: with reference to thematter at the Foreign Office this evening, wasinformed that no is:format!on had been receivedregarding the Intention of the Boer Commis-sioners, and that, in fact, even their coming hadnot been officially made known to the ForeignOffice. From another source it was ascertainedthat the delegation will arrive early next montha: Naples, on the maM steamer Kaiser, and willthen go direct to York, by way of Berlinand Brussels, not visiting Russia at all.

KRFBGEB TO TAKE COMMANDBrussels, March 28 —A private dispatch has

l»e--n received here frjm Pretoria which saysthat PreFident Kniger wfl]n.>\\ taX*1 chief com-mand of the Transvaal forces.

ha wns nineteen years "id. In spite of this lack oftional advantages he acquired \u25a0 f.iir knowl-

edge of history and the languages through his ownefforts.

Joubert was taught from childhood to hate theBritish, and -when the latter acquired Natal he de-cided to move on into the Transvaal. Here hisabilities ati a fighter soon brought him to the front,for in the frequent conflicts with the blacks hiscapacity as a leader against the natives caused hisservices to be in great demand. It was in one ofthese expeditions to put down a native rising that.loubort made the acquaintance of Kriiger. Theybecame fast friends, and although they were some-times rivals for the Presidency and differed on mat-

ters of policy, they were always devoted to eachother.Itwa» In the late seventies when Joubert drat saw

any of the world outside of South Africa. He thenaccompanied Kriiger to London, and with himsought the Independence of the Transvaal. Ontheir return to South Africa from their unsuccess-

i ful mission Joubert joined Kriiger and Pretorius Inthe triumvirate that declared the republic inde-pendent. In the war with Great Britain that fol-lowed Jonbert distinguished himself for the i.._-t

time, so., far as the work outside of South Africawas concerned, by defeating the British forcesunder Sir George Colley at Majuba HillIn18S4.

The straightforwardness of the character of Jou-bert is shown by two incidents. The first was in1877, when, after Sir TheopaJlua Shepstone issuedhis proclamation annexing the Transvaal to theBritish Government, Kriiger and the other coun-cillors, after formally protesting against the act,nevertheless straightway took office as British of-ficials. Joubert, on the other hand, positively re-fused to accept such an office, for in doing bo hemust swear allegiance to the British Crown andrecognize Its sovereignty. Again, in ISS4. when, im-mediately afer the Boers had signed the conven-tion with Great Britain by which the borders of therepublic were defined, they seized Bechuanalandand attempted to annex It, Joubert stopped themovement by refusing to lead the army. "Iposi-tively refuse," he declared, "to hold office under agovernment that deliberately breaks its covenants,and we have made covenants withEngland."

The success of the Transvaal against GreatBritain in 18S1 and the ability of the Boers in thepresent war to hold the British arm-.- in chock for

so many months was no doubt largely due to Gen-eral Jouben organization of the South Africanforces. In preparing for the contest which hethought was sure to come •• divided the country

into seventeen military departments, a;'

each de-partment again and again into small* divisions,with commanders, field cornets and lie; ?nants ofvarious ranks in .-;i;irp>-. Every man !n the Trans-vaal became a trained soldier without leaving hisfarm. Every man had his complete equipmentready at home. Every mar. was pledged to appearat an appointed spot at the summons. To mobilizethe entire force of- the republic Joub^rt had Utsendonly sevf-ntetn telegrams. The word passed downthe' line, and in an Incredibly short time hundredsof post riders carried the summons from- farm to

farm. '.- was Joubert. too. who was responsiblefor the purchase of the excellent artillery employedby the Eoers.

Although he had early become the military leaderof the Boers, he aspired to civil (Bee too. Atvarious times he served as State Attorney and asVice-President, ana for a short time once wasActing President. But he never attained his am-bition to be President of the republic, though onceor twice be was nearly successful in defeating hisrival. President Krilger. On one of these occasionswhen he was defeated, at the close of the electionKrliger shook hands with his friend and appointedhim Commandt-r-ln-Chlef.It was reported by some authorities that Joubert

was. In the earlier contest with the British. In-clined to make no use of diplomacy: also, that afterhe had caught Dr. Jameson .and his raiders, hefavored their Immediate execution. Bui at the be-ginningof the present war be showed a more mod-erate spirit. It was Kriiger who dragged the Trans-vaal into the war, while Joubert favored a furtherappeal for diplomacy.

In appearance Joubert was about five feet teninches in height and solidly built. He had a bushygray beard and n face tanned by the African sun.Thipre was not an ace of superfluous flesh onhim. He was strong as an ox, and p

-Best an

endurance that was remarkable for \u25a0 man ofsixty-eight yean*. As a tactician he acted se-verely on the defensive, concealing his men behindearthworks and other obstacles, and trusted totheir marksmanship to prevent their position frombeing taken.

Reports of his ill health have been common oflate, and there were stories, too. of his unpopularityand loss of authority: but the more general opinionwus that he w;is superintending the construction ofdefences for Pretoria in readiness for the expectedFlepe by L^rd Roberts. H'.s death, following thecapture of Cronje, derives the Boers of the servicesof their two most able commanders.

It is known that none of Andrew Carnegie'spartners possess large amounts of ready cash.Ifhe should attempt to dispose of any of hisholdings to them he could not secure sufficientcash, and the competition for such securitieswould not advance the stock to Its :roper value.By listing the same he can get the moneyed in-teracts of the world to bid on his stock. Ifheelects to sell. The charge that he desires tocoerce hla partners will aleo be removed. JamesB. Dill, attorney for the Carnegie Company,started for New-York to-night- Mr. Prick alsowent East.

CARXEGIE stock TO HE' LISTED.Pittsburg, Mar :> (Special).— The Carnegie

Company will soon make provision tar listing itsstock on the New-York Exchange. This waslearned to-night from a leading member of fhecompany, who refused to allow himself to bequoted. Just why it aril] be listed, when It ismorally certain that there will be no shares of-fered to the public,he refused to state. ItIs sur-mised, however, that Andrew Carnegie is dcingthis to make provision for the future increase invalue of the stock, and to obtain for it the high-

It is a matter for regret that, owing to the.state of the roads and of our horses. Command-ant Grobelar's commando of six thousand men,from Colesberg and the southern districts, go«away north by travelling day and night close tothe Basuto border before our force could hopeto get near them.

The latest new? la that the Boerp have fortythousand men still under arms, of whom tenthousand are in and around the Natal border.Although tents and stores are reaching- here, ablock on the railway is delaying- arrivals fromthe south considerably. It la asserted thattwenty thousand Boers are mass"d at Kroon-atad.

London. March 29.—General French, who hasarrived at Bloemfontein from Thaba Nchu. saysthat Commandant Ollivier has six thousand menand is north of Ladybrand.

Immense quantities of stores have now beenaccumulated at Bloemfontein, and Lord Rob-erts' infantry is seemingly about 4o move. Animpression, which can be traced to the WarOffice, is abroad that the advance will beginnext Monday. Boer observation parties are hov-ering near Bloemfcntein, but Lord Roberts has13T> miles to cover before reaching the great po-sition which the Boers are preparing at Kroon-stad. Moving ten miles a day is probably thebest he can do with field transport. Therefore

he can hardly engage the Boers in force for twoweeks. The reconstruction of the railway behindhim may even delay an invasion of the Trans-vaal until May.

The Commissioner did not ..\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0. him, butRecorder GofT had said all h»- hud to say <n thatregard, und. prompted by counsel, gave In con-siderable dt-tail the story of the disagreement be-tween the District Attorney and the judges whichculminated in March. 1899, and which wus fully ex-ploited In It!. newspapers at that time.

The Recorder was still on the stand when ad-journment was taken until T o'clock.Mr. Untermyer btg:in the cross-examination aasorn a? the bearing was resumed."Do you know Fulton . Manor."" he asked"Yes."Recorder Goff said in reply to other questions that

Recorder Goff told of the meeting of the judgesin December. IK)S. and the passac. of the resolu-tions referred to by Juclpe Cowing. Asked aboutthe practice of the Judges in considering an ap-plication for discharge of bail or the dismissal ofan indictment, the Krrorder said it was up'jal toaccept the statements of the District Attorneywithout further investigation.

The reason for the judges' demand for a dallycalendar Recorder Goff gave as "the almost unani-mous complaint of the bar." Many letters werereceived from witnesses whose time had beenwasted and who declined to attend court again."In many such cases." said the Recorder, "mis-curriages of Justice resulted."

UNTERMYER IN A RAGE.This statement brought- Mr. Untermyer to his

Recorder <soff also said the memorandum of theagreement between the Judges and the District At-torney's office was written by Mr.Gar.ilner, and wasnot true. Judge Cowing testified before the Re-corder about the trouble over the daily calendarwhich the District Attorney was required to pre-pare.

The hearing was resumed in Part VIIIof theSupreme Court before Ansley Wllcox. th«» com-missioner appointed by Governor Roc sevelt. DeputyAttorney General J. H. Coyne and hi:» specialdeputies. Horace E. • mlng and Arthur F. Cosby,were present, as were Fulton McMahon and theRev. T. R. Slicer. of the City Club Committee.

Judge Rufus B. Cowing was \u25a0:. Oral witnesscalled. Ha said he bad been .iJudge of the Gen-eral Sessions Court for twenty-two years. Whenasked about the rules adopted by the Judges inDecember of last year regarding the presenta-tion of the cases. Judge Cowing paid that cften theDeputy Assistant District Attorneys delayed the pro-ceedings of the courts while they examined theirwitnesses. Other Judges found the same cause ofcomplaint, and a rule was adopted that all casesshould be prepared out of court. The clerk of theJudges sent a copy of the resolution to the DistrictAttorney. At the same meeting of the Judges It

was decided that a fullAssistant District Attorneymust be in charge of each case In court.

A letter to Mr Gardiner. Including the resolu-tions, was read for the record.

One of the reasons for the rules relating to thepresentation of cases, Judge Cowing said, was thatthe motions and applications for dismissals of In-dictments, etc.. might appear on the daily calendarand be open to the public. Judge Cowing said asa rule the Judges rely on the statements of theDistrict Attorney or his assistants when an ap-plication is made for a dismissal of bail. Some-times, but rarely. In his own practice. Judge Cow-ing said, he made personal Investigation of thefacts on such application.

Regarding the complaints that regular adjourn-ments were necessary in 1898 because the defend-ants or their counsel had not received sufficientnotification. Judge Cowing said he bad no personalknowledge. Attorneys had cften pleaded that theywere taken by surprise. Often the District At-torney was not ready to try the cases that ap-peared on the calendar for the day.

Replying to questions from. Mr. Demlnsr. JudgeCowing told the story of the establishment of thedally calendar. The Judges ordered the calendarsprepared, and Mr. Gardiner objected that they hadno power to make such an order. The Judges' in-structions to the District Attorney and his replywere put in evidence. Both were published InMarr-h last year.

Referring to the complaint of the Assistant Dis-trict Attorneys preparing the cases in court, thewitness said there is no law by which the DistrictAttorney can compel the attendance of witnesses,except under subpoena to r.ppear in court. Speak-ing of the daily calendar of twenty or twenty-fivecases. Judge Cowing said: "If all the persons in-dicted by the Grand Jury were to stand trial tencourts would not suffice."

To further questions Judge Cowing said he as-sumed full responsibility for every act of his indischarging ball.

RECORDER GOFF ACCUSED OF ENMITY.Recorder Goff followed Judge Cow-Ing on the wit-

ness stand. He gave a definition of the jurisdictionof the Court of General Sessions, and said he wasa practising lawyer for twenty-six years before he\u25a0went on the bench. Mr. Deming and Mr. Unter-myer argued for some time as to the admisslbilityof this question:

"Were there many cases where the District At-torney came into court with cas*»s insufficientlyprepared?"

Mr. Untermyer objected that unless the witnesswas ready to specify the cases he should not beallowed to answer the question.

"We know ail about this case against ColonelGardiner," -Mr Untermyer argued. "and Your

Honor does not. The trouble is between the twomen, and we stand ready to show the animus andthe reason for it."
