CAPE COLOHX DDICH IN. THE BOER RANKS One Burgher Commando Is Led by Colonials, It Feared First Slight Victory of In-: vadere May Bo Signal for a Dutch Rising. LONDON, Jan. This morning's news from Capo Town la again unsatisfactory. Martial law haa been proclaimed atMalmes-bury, and would have been proclaimed In district but that the Cabinet meeting called Saturday was unable to agree as to Itn advisability.

The vagueness of the Information con cernlng the movement and position of the Invaders haa sent a fresh cold fit over the Colonists, and Cape Town calls loudly for alrohs reinforcement from England on the around that the greater part of Ixrd Kitchener's available fore is employed in protecting the lines of communication and the Hard mines, the Utter extending for a distance of fifty miles. It Is asserted by one Cape Town correspondent that unless the forces in Cape Colony are Increased a most undesirable atate of affairs may result, as the success In arm of the Invaders, however alight, night be the signal for a Dutch rising. A it is, many British residents have had to leave the Dutch villages near Cape Town. their lives being unbearable. According to a native report, a hundred men, either Boers or local farmers, have Just passed through Clanwllllam District In the direction of Malmesbury.

The Cape Town correspondent of Tho Dally Mall, who calls for 40,000 fresh troops, says: Prominent Afrikander loyalists declare that the rebellious colonists will construe the colonial call to arms as a challenge, and that the ominous silence of the pro-rebels, combined with the fact that members of the pro-Boer Junta in Cape Town have been touring in the disaffected districts, em-, phasltcs the necessity for' martial law. The necessity was never more acute for dispatching reinforcements. Already there Is proof that colonials are leading one commando." The milltay movements reported are quite unimportant, though Portugal is sending reinforcements to Lorenzo Marques. Dr. Leyds, according to The Hague correspondent of The Daily Mail, is recruiting In Holland, Belgium.

France, and Germany, and his recruits will be sent out to Kama-qualand. ostensibly as emigrants, each man receiving 50 down on starting. The Cape Town correspondent of The Times, who confirms the report of the multiplicity of the Boer commandoes, says: Nearly five-sixths of the British troops are employed to- guard, the lines' of communications and to garrison towns, leaving a very small number, partly unmounted. pursue the enemy. Large, reinforcements are advisable, and these would be cheaper in the end.

The damage which the Boers did to the Kleinfontcln mine Is officially estimated at an o.ooo." In a letter to The Times this morning the Earl of Dunraven, emphasising the very grave situation in South Africa." warns the 'country distrust the opinions of experts on the spot, and to be ready for the unexpected. He complains ot the inertia of the authorities," anu urges the necessity of large reinforcements. NO HYPNOTIZED CRIMINALS. A I'ftMs Csasot Be Fercrd to Do Wrosg, Prof. Angell Says.

fecial to The Aai York Timts. CHICAGO, Jan. 6. For a conscientious person to do anything morally wrong while In a htpnotlc trance is quite impossible, according to Prof. R.

In a lecture at the Fine Arts Building, he said that many cases had been brought up in the courts In which It was alleged that hypnotic powers were directly responsible for wrong or criminal act. He did not believe this view could be sustained In any ordinary case. He made a strong appeal for laws prohibiting the practice of hypnotism except for mediclol or scientific purposes. The idea is often expressed that people with weak wills or abnormal minds are the most easily susceptible to the influence of hypnotism." he continued. This statement can be refuted when it Is taken into consideration that idiots, insane people, and very young children cannot be subjected to the influence.

The fact remains that it requires considerable mental ability to focus the mind and control curiosltv so that th condition of acting at the will of the operator can be obtained." W. C.

tti A letter has been turned over to Chief Donahue of the Omaha Police Department In which an offer Is made to deliver certain information to him regarding the abductors of Edward Cuda-by, upon his compliance with certain conditions. The Chief and evidently considered the letter authentic and of enough Importance to Justify a reply, because the following advertisement appeared the colums of a local paper this morning.

TO FIREMEN'S NARROW ESCAPE. Pateraon Chemical Engine in Collision With Trolley Car.

PATERSON, N. Jan. 6. Two firemen narrowly escaped losing their lives last night while responding to an alarm for a email fire. The men are Louis Hasser, the driver, and Thomas Hallowell, a pipe man of Chemical Engine Na 1.

The chemical was driven down Main Street by Hasser with George Muth in the seat with him, while Hallowell stood on the back step. When the engine approached Broadway its wheels were within the tracks on Main Street, and as a trolley car stood near the corner, Hasser gave the horses a sharp pull to the right, hoping to swing his engine between the cat and the curb. The front wheels cleared the tracks, but the hind ones stuck in between them. A collision was inevitable. Hasser! held pluckily to his lines and gave the horses another quick jerk, but to no purpose.

The rear of the engine cravhed into the trolley car. Both Hasser and Muth were strapped to their seats, but the force of the coi Union snapped the strap which held them in place and Hasser was thrown head first and with much force to the pavement. His head and. shoulders struck squarely on the roadbed, but he wore a heavy fire helmet, which broke the force of the fall, and probably saved his life. He was aitghtly hurt about the shoulders.

Hallowell was tossed against a ladder on the side of the engine nearest the trolley and bounded into the gutter, striking the back of his head against the curb. He escaped with a sprained thumb and a few bruises, i Muth braced himself on the front seat, and although his strap was broken, he managed to stay on. The horses bounded down Main Street at a dangerous gait, but Muth, although he could -not reach the lines, devoted his entire attention to a break, which he applied i with his strength. In their flight the horses dragged the engine against a farmer' wagon, slightly damaging the rear wheel. Muth stopped the horses at Hamilton Avenue.

Jan- T. The outlines of the Russo -Chinese agreement regarding Xan-chorla. was settled with Li-Hang-Chang In December, 18B9." says the Vienna correspondent of The Dally "and prior to that Russia had concluded treaties with the Emirs of Bokhara and Khiva and the Shah of arranging for neutrality or for military assistance in the event of difficulties arising between Russia and any Asiatic power. In fact, all the steps toward the practical acquisition of Manchuria had been carefully prepared." Dr. Morrtaon wires from Peking to The Times that China is now endeavoring to negotiate at St.

An imperial decree was issued to delay the affixing of signatures, but the Chinese plenipotentiaries replied that it was impossible to recall the assent already given. British Expedition Returns.

BISHOP POTTER REBUKES THE SPIRIT OF CASTE It Is the First Mischief Mixed In Our Lives, He Sayiv Tails of a Guttersnipa Who Btcama a Governor Saved by a Touch of Kindness Whan He Had Been Abandontd. Bishop Potter preached a-special sermon to men at the services last night under the ausploea of George's Men's Club. In St. George's Church, Stuyvesant Square. Women were admitted only to the galleries of the church.

Invitations had been sent to all the clubs and labor organisations in New York. The sermon did not touch on the so-called vice crusade, as had been expected, and only once did Bishop potter grate the subject of vice. This was when he said In the course of his remarks that not long ago a man had come to him to tell him that th clergy of New York were deficient In knowledge of the social problems agitating the city. Further than saying that he admitted this statement. Bishop Potter did not enter on the subject of purifying New York.

If there is one thing harmful that exists." the Bishop said: if there is a first mischief which is mixed within our lives, it is the spirit-of caste which has gained foothold in our neighborhoods, churches and states. Caste, as 1t exists, a certain mallgant contempt of others less fortunate and therefor less favorably treated by the world than ourselves. I wonder hss this attitude of the human mind spread Internationally, toward for-elKners for instance. Do we scorn or belittle foreigners, perhaps, because they have a manner different from our own? If so, remember that the first offering to the Church of God came not from the hand within, but from pagan hands without The fact that three pagans, aliens, came first of all to bring offerings ought to long ago lo put an end forever to the spirit of caste." He was proud that two clergymen of his own Church, F. D.

Maurice and Charles Klngsley, were the first men of modern tiaies strike against the spirit of casta, and for the brotherhood of men, in matters connected with the relations of capital and labor. He added: But with all the power of the Church we must remember that It Is not so much in organization as in th individual that force Is effective. That ta th on- thought that at this beginning, of the year i wiuury we neea to oe reminded- are a nation given to organisation, of capital and of labor, to mechanism, to comblaatlott' But however perfect may be our combination. It is only halt of what Is needed, and in It alone there Is no note ef -i -I -'A year or two ago a gen clem a rameu into my study and asked mo about a certain relative of mine. I told him that good brother was dead.

His countenance fell, and he said: 1 came across the continent to see him. and to thank him lor what he did for me. My father was a longshoreman and a drunkard. He beat me. and I ran away, and lived as best I could.

1 was what you call. I believe, a "guttersnipe." One day, in the park, a gentleman put his hand on my shoulder and asked what I was doing there. Through him and the Children's Aid Society I was sent to a good home in Indiana, and I finally got a college And. he added modestly neough, I am now a Governor of a Western And it is that personal touch on the shoulder, without which all the perfection of organisation is as niught We will never make New York what it ought to be without that personal touch EXPTKED IN A CAB. 9.
