Burghers, Greatly Outnumbered, Were Forced to Slowly Retreat Before Heavy Artillery Fire. Advices of Sunday reaching London from Vet River, stated that on Saturday the British after a long march, encountered the Boers holding Vet River, with six guns, two being of long range. An artillery duel ensued. Meanwhile General Hutton after a sharp engagement, crossed the river on the left just before sunset. The Boers retreated during the night. General Pole Carew started at day break on a nineteen-mile march. He first came into contact with Boers holding the river at 1 o'clock p.m. The British soon had too batteries in action, and later they added two naval 9-pounders, two 4.7 and 5-inch siege guns. The Boers fired with great accuracy, and the duel continued unabated with a terrible gun until sunset, and even later there was desultory firing. It is marvelous that nobody on the British side was injured. General Hutton started early to find the drift on the west. When this was discovered it proved to be strongly held and protected by two guns. The British speedily engaged the Boers, who enlisted the dismounted firing line with a Marim, but General Hutton pushed forward his own pompom and a galloping Maxim and forced the Boers to leave the river bed. The encounter was terribly hot. Later the whole British force crossed the river, threatening the Boers' right. The Boers must have received about the same time news of General Hamilton's occupation of Winburg. About sunset a detachment of twenty-six Australians, who had crept uneen toward the river bed, found themselves near a kopje occupied by the Boers. After firing they fixed bayonets and charged, capturing the kopje. All was done on their own initiative. Thus night fell. Early Sunday morning it was discovered that the whole Boer force had fled. General Hutton, during the night, got two squadrons to blow up the line near Swaldsel. The British discovered at every one hundred yards along the railway concealed small packages of high explosives. The Boers had destroyed three bridges over sprouts between Vet river and Brandford, but in every case it was possible to make a detour. The Boers appear to be fighting with much less spirit. It is reported that they are commanded by General Lucas Meyer. The bridge over the Vetriver is completely destroyed. General Hutton Captured a Maxin and took twelve prisoners. HALF MILLION MISSOURIANS Honored Admiral Dewey on His Visit to City of St. Louis. With a parade of military and civic organizations of Missouri Saturday afternoon an informal reception by the Loyal Legion at night, the two days' celebration in St. Louis in honor of Admiral George Dewey came to an end. Probably 500,000 people, including 75,000 from outside points, stood patiently for hours along the line of march to see the admiral, cheered wildly as he was driven by in the parade, then pressed forward to some new point of vantage on the streets along which the parade wound its way through the business districts, to cheer him again. At some points of the parade the crowds were so great that the police were utterly helpless, and dozens of bruised and fainting women and crying children were rescued only by the use of clubs, in some instances, the helpless ones being carried out over the heads of the almost immovable mass of people. Was Prominent Texan and Many Years a Congressman. Ex-Congressman David B. Culberson, father of United States Senator Charles A. Culberson, of Texas, died at his home in Jefferson, Texas, Sunday. Ex-Congressman Culberson served several times as a Democrat in the lower house of the national legislature, and was at one time a prominent candidate for the speakership. He was for a long time chairman of the judiciary committee of the house and was regarded as one of the best constitutional lawyers in public life. V) L. XV. D. B. CULBERSON DEAD. FIRED FROM STATEHOUSE. Witnesses Locate Window From Which Fatal Shot Was Fired At William Goebel. The most important testimony yet in connection with the assassination of Goebel was brought out at Frauk'ort Friday night in the hearing for bail in the Culton case. Assistant Secretary of State J. B. Matthews and McKenzie Todd, private secretary to Governor Taylor, were the star witnesses and gave testimony nearly as sensational as that of Culton. Matthews stated that pardons were issued also to Charles Finley, John L. Powers, Harlan Whittaker and possibly W. H. Culton. The witnesses first said a pardon had been issued to Culton, but later said he was not sure as to Culton, but said he thought he entered a pardon for him at the same time he entered the other three pardons and those to Caleb Powers and John Davis, March 10th. The Culton case was resumed Friday with Captain J. F. Howe, a Barbourville military officer, on the stand. He testified regarding Caleb and John Powers coming to him ten days before the assassination and trying to get him to bring his company to Frankfort disguised as citizens. He declined to do so unless ordered by Governor Taylor, and no orders came until after the assassination. Captain Chinn, who was with Goebel when he was shot, stated that he was sure the shot that hit Goebel was fired from the executive building. Ed Steffee, who was standing on the portico in front of the state house, saw Goebel fall. Immediately after the shot he looked toward the executive building, and he thought he saw the barrel of a rifle pointing out of the window of the office of the secretary of state. The weapon was drawn in and the window closed. In the cross-examination, Steffee said that after the shot was fired he thought he saw a little smoke rising above the window from which he saw the rifle. He did not look to see where the shot came from until after Goebel fell. At the afternoon session arguments were heard from attorneys of the telegraph company in regard to the submission of telegrams as evidence. The court ruled that the writ should apply only to messages bearing on the Goebel assassination. Several telegrams were read to and from the defendants, and relating to the visit of armed mountain men to Frankfurt last January. At the night sitting of the court, ex-State Auditor L. C. Norman testified that prior to the assassination he overheard Judge George Denny, of Lexington, say: "Somebody ought to kill Goebel, and Governor Taylor ought to pardon the man that did it." The witness said the tenor of Denny's conversation was that Goebel's death would save the lives of other people. Witness communicated the remark to Goebel. McKinzie Todd, private secretary to Governor Taylor, testified that he saw Culton and Yontsey at the governor's office several times. He did not know Jim or Berry Howard. He saw armed men around the governor's office the day of the mountaineer excursion. Asked if he saw any guns in the office of the secretary of state, witness said he saw two on Saturday prior to the assassination. Youtsey was in the room and later picked up one of the guns and took a position near the window. He asked Youtsey what he was going to do. Youtsey said he thought there was trouble in the legislative building and that "if it started he wanted to be prepared. Youtsey said he would not start any trouble, but would be prepared to protect the building if it did start. Publico Printer George G. Fetter told of printing badges for Caleb Powers and John Powers which were used by the 1,200 mountain men on January. Private Dudley Williamson, who was with the soldiers in the arsenal, said that they got marching orders one hour before the assassination, and were uniformed and armed at the time of the tragedy. The soldiers did not know what had happened till they got almost to the state house. Direct From Tampa To New York. The transportation company of the board of trade of Tampa, Fla., and a number of business men are planning for a direct line of steamers from that city to New York. CREDITORS WILL "WHISTLE." Ex-Banker and Society Man of Atlanta, Ga., Declared a Bankrupt. Creditors of J. Robert Collins, formerly a private banker and society man of Atlanta, Ga., are receiving notices from St. Louis through the mails that their debtor has been declared a bankrupt in court, with liabilities scheduled at $226,274, and assets scheduled at $50, claimed as exempt. The liabilities of "Bob" Collins, as he was best known, it is said, are debts owed in Atlanta. He was president of the Home bank of Atlanta in 1896. The bank failed and Mr. Collins left Atlanta shortly afterward. Savannah SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 12. 1900. MAYOR MUST RESIGN Atlanta City Council Takes Deoisive Action In Matter. Chief Executive of Gate City Is Given Until Next Meeting of Council to Vacate His Office. With only one dissenting vote the Atlanta city council at its meeting Monday, called upon James G. Woodward, mayor of the city, to resign from his office. This action came as a result of a secret caucus held previously for the purpose of taking action on the attack made on the mayor by Dr. Len. G. Bronglitton, pastor of the Tablenacle Baptist church, Sunday, when he denounced the mayor in unmeasured terms and publicly accused him of breaking faith with members of council and the city at large in that he had repeatedly been guilty of drunkenness and had, while in that condition, frequented resorts of ill repute. Council's action took the form of the following resolution, which was brief and to the point: "Whereas, his honor, the mayor, addressed a communication to this body on August 14th of last year in which he used the following language: "As my indiscretions offend, they shall cease. This promise made by myself may be construed also as a promise to your body and to my constituents at large. I make it deliberately, solemnly, with full confidence in my strength and full knowledge of my weakness. If my self-confidence at any time hereafter shall be destroyed by my failure to abide by this promise it will be my duty to myself and to the public to resign my office, and I will do so; because when I have lost my manhood by breaking my resolution, I will no longer be worthy of the office. Until then I have the honor to be yours respectfully, "JAMES G. WOODWARD, "Mayor." "And, whereas, it has come to the knowledge of several members of this body that the mayor has not lived up to the terms of this statement; therefore, be it "Resolved, That this body request the mayor to resign his office between the date of May 7 and the next regular meeting of the council, and that the clerk of this body furnish the mayor with a copy of these resolutions." The next meeting of council takes place May 21st, and Mayor Woodward has, therefore, until that date in which to make up his mind on a course of action. Just what his action will be is at present problematic. He himself has thus far given no intimation of his intention; and, in fact, has refused absolutely to discuss the matter. If Dr. Broughton's attack, and the subsequent action of council, are matters of surprise to him, he gives no indication that such is the case in his manner. On the other hand, if Mayor Woodward's probable action is a matter of doubt, council's action, should he fail to comply with its request, is generally conceded by a majority of its members. No individual member will stand sponsor for the statement, but all admit that impeachment proceedings will be instituted at the next meeting of council should Mayor Woodward remain in office up to that time. It also seems to be the general opinion that the introduction of such resolutions would be tantamount to their adoption. Carnival Opened With Brilliant Exercises and Appropriate Program. Tuesday afternoon the greatest carnival in the history of Chattanooga and cast Tennessee was formally begun. The Baldur procession was a gorgeous affair and the opening of the midway revealed to Chattanoogans and the thousands of visitors the greatest show ever seen in the state. The city was one grand mass of decorations, and especially on Market street were the signs of the festival occasion most profuse, hardly a glimpse of any building on that thoroughfare being visible, owing to the flags and bunting which covered them. STEAMER STRANDS; SIX LOST. British Boat Strikes Rhons and Entire Crew Take to the Boats. A special from Cape Henry, Va., says; The British steamer Virginia, Captain Charles Samuel, from Daquiri, Cuba, for Baltimore, with a cargo of iron ore, with a crew of twenty six men, including one stowaway, stranded on Diamond shoal about 6 p. m., Wednesday, May 3d, during thick, heavy weather. The entire crew took to the boats and attempted to leave the ship. One boat with fifteen of the crew got away, but the other boat was swamped and six men were drowned. The remaining five got back on the steamer and were rescued. NO SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS NO SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS Speaker Henderson Refuses to Entertain Such a Motion. Colorado Man Pays Glowing Tribute to Struggling Transvaalers For Their Rights. Monday was suspension day in the house and quite a number of bills were passed. The most important was the senate bill to amend the general pension laws so as to provide for aggregating disabilities under the act of 1890, without regard to service origin, and to increase the net income a widow may be possessed of without destroying her right to a pension from $96 to $250. The purpose of the bill is to modify rulings of the pension office in accordance with the recommendations of the Grand Army of the Républic. General Dan Sickles, who is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic committee, was on the floor during the consideration of the bill. Many members made speeches on the measure and it was passed without a dissenting vote. The bill to increase the appropriation for the national guard from $400,000 to $1,000,000 was also among those passed. Mr. Sulzer of New York attempted to secure action upon his resolution expressing sympathy with the South African republics, but was cut off by the speaker. Mr. Sulzer first sought recognition before the journal had been approved, and the speaker ruled him out of order. A moment later after the journal had been approved Mr. Sulzer again demanded recognition. "For what purpose does the gentleman rise?" inquired the speaker. "This being suspension day," replied Mr. Sulzer. "I rise for the purpose of moving to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution expressing sympathy with the patriotic Boers who are fighting for liberty in South Africa." (Applause in the galleries. "The chair declines to recognize the gentleman for that purpose," replied the speaker. "Is it because the chair is opposed to the resolution?" asked Mr. Sulzer. "The gentleman is out of order." "A parliamentary inquiry!" shouted Mr. Sulzer. "The gentleman will state his point." "I desire to know whether a member of this house has not the right to make a motion in accordance with the rules of this house?" "The chair," replied the speaker, "must perform its duty in making recognition to suspend the rules. The gentleman is out of order and will take his seat." Thereupon Mr. Sulzer subsided. IN THE SENATE. At Monday's session of the senate Mr. Teller, of Colorado, delivered a speech in which he strongly urged the senate to extend its sympathy to the Boers in their contest with Great Britain. He devoted himself to a discussion of his resolution, the adoption of which, he maintained, could not be considered by the British government as an unfriendly act. Mr. Teller called attfeition to the fact that his resolution was a paraphrase of the Cuban plank of the Republican national platform in 1896. He found a precedent for it in the resolution offered in the house of representatives by Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, in 1831 in the interest of the South American republics and in many subsequent resolutions of a similar character. He said it was argued that the Boers were not struggling for liberty, but were simply in rebellion against the British empire, which claimed dominion over them. He regarded this as a begging of the question unworthy of serious consideration. He maintained that Great Britain had no jurisdiction for the claims it made upon the Boers and the South African republics. Mr. Teller paid a high tribute to the Boers as a people, denominating them as a "kindly, brave, wise and Christian people." "We ought," said Mr. Teller "to declare our sympathy for the Boers. I have said nothing against the government of Great Britain, and I do not intend to, except to say I think the best sentiment of Great Britain and the United States is against this war. I believe that if the great and noble woman who presides over England had had her way there would have been no war." Tribune.

Strike On Southern Railway System Called Off and Operators Left In the Lurch. The telegraphers' strike on the Southern railway system was formally discontinued Tuesday morning by President W. V. Powell, of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, who undertook to manage the strike for the men of the order. In a statement to the strikers on the system President Powell says: "Those desirous of making application to the Southern railway for employment should do so after the hour and date named herein (11 n. m. May 8th), although we are of the opinion that the ends of all will be best subserved by your, seeking employment elsewhere, and not attempting to return to the service of the Southern railway. "It is to be regretted that some of the purposes for which the strike was inaugurated are not entirely successful. "Had all of the" membership of the organization and those who agreed to support it in this struggle remained loyal to the cause, it would have been possible to give to you the notice of a complete victory." President Powell says the fight against the Southern would be continued until the system saw fit to recognize the demands of the operators. The fight, he says, will be in the form of a systematic boycott. Officials of the Southern when asked if the strikers would be reinstated in their position, said they could not possibly be put back at the present time, as all of the places vacated by them were filled. "There is no room for the men now," said an official in the office of the general manager. "The road feels very kindly toward the men who are competent and intelligent telegraphers, but there are no jobs for them in the system at present that I know of." FEATHERSTONE NO CANDIDATE. Prohibition Leader In South Carolina Gives Out a State. ment. A Columbia, S. C., special says: C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, who in 1898, as the prohibition candidate, ran a close race with Governor Ellerbe for the governorship, and who had been spoken of as the one to lead the more determined prohibition fight this year, says it will be impossible for him to do so. In a card he says in part: "I entered the race before because I thought it was right to do so. In the campaign of 1889 I formed many lasting friendships, and I am sincerely grateful to the people of the state for the kindness shown me and the support given to me. As matters now stand, there are possibly others who are willing to take up the fight where I left it off. I congratulate the state upon the universal good feeling which today prevails among our people. "There is a disposition to forget past differences and to put only good and true men in office—men who seek office not simply for the sake of the 'loaves and fishes,' but for the good of their state. I feel sure that there are even brighter and better things ahead for South Carolina. In point of natural advantages she easily holds the palm, but she cannot afford to take a backward, step. She has scores and scores of citizens, true and able, who are willing, if the call is made upon them, to accept office and assist in building up their native state. Let us then see to it that only such men are given office, and when you have given them office, let me again urge you, as I did after my defeat in 1898, to give them your support in their administration of public affairs. With our support even the weakest may succeed; without it the strongest may fail." These Demand New Creed. By a decisive vote of 25 to 15 the presbytery of Washington city, at a special meeting, decided to send to the approaching general assembly of the Presbyterian church, to be held in St. Louis, an overture requesting that body to take steps to prepare a brief evangelical creed to be submitted to the church for adoption as a part of its constitution. To Witness Solar Eclipse. The government has made definite arrangements for the establishment of an observing station at Barnesville, Ga., to witness the solar eclipse which will occur on the 28th of this month. The site for the installation of the apparatus has been chosen, and already the work of getting things in shape for the important event have taken on a tangible form. Court At Florence, S. C. The senate Monday passed the house bill providing for the sitting of the United States district and circuit courts at Florence, S. C., on the first Tuesday in March of every year. NO 31. RACE PROBLEM IS DISCUSSED Conference of Southern Society Is Held In Montgomery, Ala. Ex-Secretary of Navy, Herbert, Makes an Interesting Address On a Live Topic. One of the largest and most representative audiences ever assembled in Montgomery, Ala., gathered in the Auditorium Tuesday night at the opening of the conference of the Southern Society for the promotion of the study of the race conditions and problems in the south. The Hon. J. B. Gaston, acting as temporary chairman, introduced Mayor Joseph, who welcomed the members in an eloquent speech and expressed gratification at their meeting in the capital city of the state. Governor Johnston made an address of welcome in the name of the state and gave interesting facts and figures. Governor Johnston was sure all desired a solution that will be just to both races. In Alabama considerable progress has been made in the line of educating the negro. The school fund is paid almost entirely by the whites and distributed impartially to children of both races. Convict records show a steadily increasing number of negro convicts. The record shows 89 per cent of convicts are negroes, there being now in the penitentiary 253 whites and 2,147 negroes. Of the total of 2,147-colored convicts 925 are confined for serious crimes. On October 1st, 1878, there were 654 state convicts against 1,700 now. "We have now one negro in the penitentiary for each 317 of population, and one white for each 3,270," said the governor. "The negro who accumulates property becomes a conservative citizen, ceases to listen to political agitators and desires no return of irresponsible and corrupt legislation. The more he accumulates the greater his interest in the reign of law and the preservation of peace," said Governor Johnston. Hon. J. B. Gaston then introduced Hon. Hilary A. Herbert. Judge Gaston called attention to the Importance of the questions to be discussed and the effect they would have not only on the south, but on the country at large. The following are some of the ideas advanced by Mr. Herbert: The present is happily an era of good feeling among the sections, more complete and perfect than any that has ever existed. The force bill has been dropped, the negro was not in the presidential campaign of 1896; the new constitution of Mississippi has been decided by the supreme court of the United States to be valid, and we have now the sympathy of thoughtful men in the north to an extent that never before existed. Necessity has compelled us to resort to election methods which we desire to abandon. The result of the expenditure of millions on negro education has been so unsatisfactory that some people are advocating the abandonment of the system. The cost of trying negroes for crime is out of all proportion to the cost of trying white men, and assaults by negroes upon white women have brought us to lynch law. These questions we are here to discuss. Idleness among negroes is undoubtedly growing and crime increasing. Professor Wilcox states facts showing idleness to a degree that is startling, and he gives census figures to show us that in the south the crimes of negroes, compared to population with whites were in 1890 as a little less than five to one, and in the north considerably over five to one. Never was there such a blunder as the theory that suffrage would help educate the negro. What the negro wanted above all things was to know how to take care of himself so that he might develop. He needed sympathy and tutelage, and this he would have had, especially from his old masters, on terms that would have been advantageous to both; but he was taught that he had no friends except among those who wanted his vote. It was the carpet-bagger who drew the color line. In conclusion, my friends, the problem that is set before us is one in which not only our brethren in the north are, but all humanity is, interested, but it is particularly ours, because negroes being among us to stay, we alone have at the same time the opportunity and the indulgence to solve it. We must work it out, or God only can tell what is to become of us. It is a mighty task, but it can be accomplished, if we enter upon it with courage and faith in ourselves and our people.

London advices of Friday contain. ed the followed “war” news: The mounted infantry with Lord Roberts, among which sre the Caua- dians, have picketed their horses on the south bank of the Vetvriver 18 miles north of Brandfort. The heaé of Lord Roberts’ columns has thas advanced thirty-two, miles north of Bloemfontein. . Little powder was spent, Tho Brit- ish work was hard marching, the Boers retiring ont of thereach of Brit- ish shells. ‘The correspondents supple- ment Lord Roberts’ plairr ‘statements with a few details, As General Hut- ton, with the First mounted infantry brigade, drew near Brandfort, he saw a Khaki-glad body of troops bend of him, He was surprised, but thonght they must be British. Soon, however, they opened fire upon the men, who replied heavily. ‘They wéro the Irish- Ameridan brigade from Lourenzo Marques, and it is reported that the Irish lost heavily, The Boor flag was fying over Brand- fort as the British entered the town. Several British wounded were found in the fiospital. The Boer postmaster gave up the keys of the public build- ings to'Captain Ross. Lord Kitchener arrived at Brandfort at nood and Lord Roberts at dusk, General Frenoh’s cavalry is.sweeping the country northward. The expecta- tion ig that the infantry advance will be cont{nued toward Kroonsted imme- distelys Although no prisoners were taken and although no hot pursuit was attempted, the news grestly cheers Londod. Nevertheless, it lias not been received with the fine rapturo that at- tended the first successes of Lord Roberts, . Brabent’s division now oocupies a strong position on a range of hills on the Ladybrand road, about twenty miles from Wepener. The troops are confronted by a large force of Boers who recently occupled Wepener aud who have now been located in the mountain known in the Free State a6 Zwartlapherg. Fridey morning the Borderers Horse, under Colonel Max- well, came in.oontéct with the Boer ontposts, but returned to camp after having located tho enemy, +Later a group of 500 Boers was discovered marching past tha Boer-position, but the British were unable to tell whether thoy were friend or enemy until they bad disappeared in a hollow a few miles away, when they proved to-be a- Boer command, ae, General Hunter's crossing the Vaal at Win dsorton: brings the relief of 3fa- feking, 195 miles beyond,* Rissoat| within « ‘caleulated interval.

They ap- pear determined not to fight until the Kroonstad hills are reached. Lord Roberts is expected to do an- other forty or filty miles and then wait for'a.timain orderto' bring up sup: plies and to repair the railway. ‘Thera are one or two hints in the dispatches from the front that he may rest for a few dayaat Smaidel, - The capture of Winburg by the Brit- ich is confirmed and the main advance to Pretoria continues with the ma- chine-liko precision. and rapidity which has characterized all of Lord Roberts’ forward movements. By the occupation of Winburg, General Tan Hamilton puts himself nearly parallel with Lord Roberts aud only twenty- nine miles eastward, while he has the additional advantage of bdog connect- ed with his chief by means of the rail- road that runs from Smeldecl, or Win burg road station, as it is sometimes called, to Winbarg. . ‘The on!y feature of the carefully de- vised plarr or-general advance not dis- closed by the swift developments, ie that part General Baller has elected to. tuke in the operations. At present there are no indications of any move- ment on the part of the Natal army. Doubtless a few days or leas will bring out tho British lino of action before the Biggarsberg. ig Lord Roberts is now nine miles north of the Vet and sixty-three miles north of Bloemfontein. The Boers are retreating toward Kroonstad, A special dispatch from Smaldeel {Winburg road station) dated 9:45 p. m., Sanday, May 6th, gives details of the .occupatfon of Winburg, by the British. It says: “News bas just come here*that Gen- eral Hamilton is giving the Boers no rest and that they are falling back hurriedly. Ho eutered Wimburg to- day afters brisk fight, in which the Boers fell back so quekiy that one of their guns, in additicn to a maxim, was abaudoned.” ‘Tho samo dispatch, describing the crossing of the Vet river, says: “The Boer forces intrenched on the opposite bank, prepared fo contest the | crossing. Onr guns were brought into play anda terrific shell fro was directed un the Boer lines. At tho sume time the Queenslanders, wider o heavy fire, dashed across the river, and, advanoivg in the open, completely lured the Boer right. It was dnsk, but nothing éould stop the gallant Australians, They pushed on again, seized a commanding kopje and, by brilliant movements and continuons rifle fire, drove off the enemy in the Jarknese.”* * ATLANTA HAS BIG FIRE, Fornlture Factory and Thirty Other Houses Go Up In Sinoke.
