Buffalo, Feb. 12, 1900. The" profits of the Pan-American go to the company. The Centennial and the madejio money. all before him until he entered the city of Paris with his triumphant soldiers.

And again, at Waterloo, where Napoleon commanded In person, Wellington thoroughly whipped the French, totally destroying the renowned "Old Guard," which had been held In reserve for a final effort to break the English squares. But Napoleon did not surrender to Wellington, as he fled precipitately from the battlefield, nor hardly halted until he reached Fontalnebleau, from whence he ultimately departed for the southern coast, at times disguised, for the peasantry of the south of France had determined to kill him should he fall into The high character of all Furs sold by us gives extra interest to the announcement which we make here. The fact that prices are based upon last Spring's cost of skins, adds to the importance of the sale, as the present market value of every article mentioned is much in excess of these quotations.

Of these 2 officer and 16 enlisted men were killed, and officers and 85 enlisted men were wounded. The percentage of loss In killed was greater than that of any other regiment in the battle WILLIAM AUMAN, Major 13th Infantry. Buffalo, Feb. 13, 190ft Answering the Principal. junior Evening Hermit me to correct a statement made by the principal of No.

19 School In the EVENING NEWS last Wednesday, in regard to the locking of the doors during school hours. A neighbor of ours had occasion to go to the school on Monday, Jan. 22, at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, and found the doors locked and was obliged to use the cellar door. One week from that day I went up at 10 o'clock A. M.

especially to try the doors, and they were locked not stuck, but locked, and a third party was there between the dates mentioned and tried them with the same result. Our venerable principal should be more careful how he makes false statements and contradicts his superiors. Either he has little regard for the truth or too much confidence In his Janitor. SCHOOL. Buffalo, Feb.

12, 1900. S. If our esteemed principal calls at the NEWS office for my name, you have my permission to furnish it. Too Many Hog Noses In the Channel Etfninc ITttM As much is being said about the South Buffalo flood, suggestions are In order from the Fifth ward by all taxpayers who feel Interested financially as much as any people living within the limits of the city of Buffalo. Though the heaviest loss seems to be in and along the harbor and the outlet of -Buffalo river, what is needed is some remedy to take the place of the present state of affairs.

Let me suggest a starter. Keep the throat clear, then you have control I of the anchor. You can dig as many drain ditches as you have Angers and thumbs, and let them all become clogged at the mouth and the same result will happen 'that has now happened. Allow all the hog-nosed whalebacks to enter the throats of the dltchea and then jrou will hear the groans from the Fifth ward again. Now, then.

If the people oo not like the Fifth ward groans, let all hands walk over on the Tlfft Farm and dig a basin large enough to hold all the hog-noses, sheep-noses, patrol boats and everything that seems in clined to winter in our throats: it Is becoming chronic, and If something Is not done for a permanent relief, sooner or later we will be carried away feet first. I can remember when loads of hay used to pass up or down Main street and horses hitched to every post, but those days have passed out. Why not let that good order of affairs step down to the water front and compel every boat to find a hiding place for the winter outside of the channel ot the Buffalo river? If there are not slips enough, make more, and If this Is not satisfactory run' the dredge Into the Tlfft Farm and you have an everlasting remedy. Remember, readers, the-NEVS is after you, and I will bet they will" cause the throat to be kept clear in the future. Until these things come to paes.

keep your flat boats, potato spears and web feet, fnr, as In times of yore, you will them more. -W; Buffo. to; Feb. 13.1060. Citizenship In the Transvaal.

'Iot Evening A'tfuf Will someone who knows tell me this: Must a foreigner have a petition signed by all the citizens in his district In the Transvaal In order to vote for local affairs? As I understand it. you must be there seven years for to vote on local afTalrs, If you have the luck to get the papers, and 14 years to vote for President. F. Buffalo, Feb. 12, 1900.

From a Milkman. Edilor Evening tiewt: Being a constant reader of your paper, as welPas a great admirer of It, I would like a small space In which to answer the milk crank. In last Saturday's Issue a person signing himself "Milk" made statements which are untrue. In the first place, the milk dealers pay 12 cents a gallon for milk Instead of 10 cents, as stated by "Milk." They have to pay H4 cents freightage on every gallon of milk shipped to them, thus paying 13 cents per gallon for the milk. Secondly, their expenses are very heavy.

They have their horses to feed and care for, peddlers to pay, wear and tear of wagons, to say nothing about care of the milk. If "Milk" thinks he Is paying too muh at the rate ofc 6 cents per quart, then I feel sorry for him. If people want good milk they must expect to pay accordingly. In New York City people pay 10 cents per quart for milk, and It does not seem to ogpress them any. In Philadelphia and a great many other large cities milk dealers receive 8 cents per quart.

W-hy. then, do Buffalonlans object to paying 6 cents? JUSTICE. Buffalo, Feb. 12, 1900. Correcting His Histnry.

Edilor Evening ifeim: Alsatian's Waterloo is not history. The battle of Waterloo was fought by 71,947 French with 246 guns and the allies had 67,661 men with 156 guns. The preponderance In favor of the French was beyond all comparison. The soldiers of Napoleon were all of one nation, devotedly attached to their leader, had one Bystem of tactics and knew their chief. Wellington's army was made up Of raw levies, gathered from five or six sources.

Blucherdid not arrive on the field until the battle was decided. Wellington pursued the flying army beyond Belle Alliance, and was on his way back when he met Blucher, who took up the pursuit. I may mention the Nile and Trafalgar 1 Crecy.Polctiers and Aglncourt. The bat. tie of Aglncourt was fought on Oct.

25,. 1415, the French amounting to 60.00 while the English did not exceed 9000 men. The French loss amounted to 10,000 killed and wounded and 14.000 nrlsnnem while the English loss did hot exceed 400 men. j. M.

Buffalo, Feb. 13, 1900. a a ,50 Winter Jackets. I (Continued from Page 1.) GORMAN AND KENNEDY -r -mWiW Democratic Aldsrmen C'aim to Know Little About Gamb-ling--Several Interest-. ing Witnesses.

1 A During the latter part of the afternoon yesterday the Criminal Term room, In which the Police Commissioners' investigation Is being conducted by Attorney Lodowlck Jones, was crowded with gamblers, politicians and others who were neither gamblers nor politl-dsns, but had Interest In the proceed Ings. One of the most interesting wit nesses of the day was Aid. Jeremiah Gordon of the First ward. "Do you know a gambler named Park inson?" asked Mr. Jones.

"Yes," replied Aid. Gorman. "Have you played cards with him dur ing the last six months?" "No." "Did CoRgrove have a faro "I don't recall." "He was dealing cards?" "Yes." "For money?" "1 don't know." "Do you know Fred Newton?" "Yes, by sight." "Did you. Fay. Parkinson and New ton play during October or November?" "No, I haven't played poker for three or four years.

"Did you play faro last year?" "I can't recollect," said Aid, Gorman "How Is faro DOESN'T KHOfr FARO. "Others know more than I do perhaps you could tell us yourself." (Laughter.) "Perhaps I can," replied Mr. Jones, who then gave Mr. Gorman a description of faro, asking Gorman it he was not right. "Have you ever been into any rooms In the Sllvei Dollar when- faro-was played?" "No." "Ever been over to Burns Pickel's place at.

21 West Eagle?" asked Mr joneB. "Yes, some months ago," replied Aid. Gorman. "You are aware that gambling has been going on In this city? "1 am not "You have told us that you have seen Cosgrove dealing faro, haven you? "Yes." Continuing, Gorman said he knew By Knowlton but had never played with him. He also knew Haley and Oliver.

He did not know John C. Dunlop or Morris Brown, he said. "Did Jeremiah Gormnn pay the rent for the premises at 39o Washington street?" "No, he did not," replied Gorman, emphatically. "Or Gorman Fay "No. sir." "Will you swear that poker was not played by Gorman and Fay and others In June.

18997 "I will." "Didn't they buy stacks of chips from you?" "I never sold chips In my life," said Aid. Gorman. "Was there a door keeper at No. 395?" 'There was; I don't recall his name." Gorman said there were two room at No. 395.

He was unable to say who els was present when Cosgrove Invited him In. "Didn't you employ Cosgrove to deal bank?" "I did not." replied Aid. Gorman. In the front room, said Gorman, were two cloth-covered tables. He was unable to say how the rear room was furnished or for what it was used.

ALD, KENNEDY CALLED. Aid. John J. Kennedy of the Nineteenth Ward succeeded Aid. Gorman oh the stand.

He said he was a member of the firm of Kennedy Cannon, at No. 23 West Eagle street, used for a hotel. He said he knew Oliver and Haley and that they "hung out" In a room In the building. He did not know, he said, whether any rent was paid, as an agent rented out the rooms In the block. Aid.

Kennedy said he knew Modest Burns and Joe Sickles, but was unable to say whether they occupied a room next door, "Do you know what Haley and Oliver do in their room?" "I do not." "You are an Alderman?" "Yes, I have held that office for 15 years." And you are an adviser or the local Democracy?" "Yes." "You keep In touch with matters affecting the city?" "To some extent." "Have you ever been In the rooms In which Oliver and Haley hang out In your own building?" "I have." AldT Kennedy said the room was a large one with covered tables and chairs. Did you ever see a card game In progress Not since last May, replied Aid. Kennedy, "except hearts and seven-up. I have never seen faro or poker played there." "Do you know George Henry?" "I do." "Do you know that he conducts a place on Pearl street?" "I do not" "Do you know that five faro banks have been In operation in Buffalo since last "I do not." "Did S. II.

Hart have a conference with you at your saloon a week ago Friday night?" "I don't know any such man," replled Aid. Kennedy. "Did Hart open a bank since last fall?" "That Is Immaterial," said Mr. Cudde-back. "Well, he had to see Kennedy before he could start," said Mr.

Jones. "Well, It seems to me that's Improper," said Mr. Cuddeback, Jumping to his feet. "It Is highly Improper," said Referee Blssell. "Counsel should not make accusations of that kind.

The stenographer will strike it out." "Do you know the 8. H. Hart who put up a roil or ibwo to start a bank?" "I don't know S. H. Hart" "Didn't he have a conference with you a week ago Friday night?" "He did not," said Mr.

Kennedy, emphatically. THE $6000 DISAPPEARED, "I will state In your behalf, Alderman," said Mr. Jones, "that you were not consulted about the matter until after the $60UO roll had disappeared had been appropriated by others and then you were consulted as a person of some Influence with a view to straightening the matter out. So you had no connection at all with the gambling enterprise. I wish simply to find out about the transaction." "What If he was consulted?" asked Referee Blssell.

"How would that effect the Police Commissioners?" "Because we can show the close connection between the witness and the Police Commissioners," replied Mr. Jones. "We propose also to show the connection between the Police Commissioners and the gambling rooms." Aid. Kennedy was asked If he had had conference with Hart and others at the Grill a week ago Thursday. "I haven't been In the Grill In two months," replied Aid.

Kennedy. "Neither do I know anything about the $6000 transaction. Tou're on the wrong track Aid. Kennedy said he knew Capt Naniara, Gerlacn and Earl Blakely, ctAiavoTAirr. DEBORAH and Madge, 17 Court true readings, ten eents.

14, 1900. Ieath Doomed. (An old poem asked for.) There taking me to the gallows, mother, They mean to hang me high, They'll gather 'round me there, And watch me 'till I die. All earthly Joy Is vanished now, And gone each mortal hope, They'll draw a cap across my eyes, And 'round my neck a rope, The crazy mob will shout and groan, The priest will read a prayer, The drop will fall beneath my feet. And leave me In the air.

They think I murdered Allen Bayne, For so the Judge has said, And they'll hang me to the gallows, mother, Hang me 'till I am dead. The air Is fresh and bracing, mother; The sun shines bright and high, It Is a pleasant day to live, A gloomy one to die. It Is a bright and glorious day -The Joys of-erth to grasp, But, Ah! a sad and wretched one, To strangle, choke and gasp. But let them damp my lofty spirit, Or cow me If thev pjin.

By father's grave on yonder hill, His name without a stain I ne'er had malice in my heart. Nor murdered Allen Bayne. But twelve good men have found me guilty For so the Judge has said.

And they'll hang me to the gallows, Hang me 'till I am dead. Poor little sister Belle will weep. And klas me as I He But kiss her twice and thrice for me, And tell her not to cry. Tell her to weave a bright, gay garland, And crown me as of yore. Then plant a Illy on "And think 0fme no more.

I mind, he said, No child that stained his spotless name Should share his mortal bad. Old friends would look beyond his grave To my dishonored one. And hide the virtues of the sire Behind the recreant son. And I can fancy If there my corse Its fettered limbs should lay, His frowning skull and crumbling bones Would shrink from me away. But I swear to God, I am Innocent, And never blood have shed, But they'll hang me to the gallows, mother, Hang me 'till I am dead.

Lay me In my coffin, mother. As you have seen me rest, One of my arms beneath my head, The other on my breast. Place my Bible upon my heart. Nay, mother, do not weep; And kiss me as In happier days. You kissed me when asleep.

But, hark! I hear a mighty murmur Among the Jostling crowd, shout, a cry, a roar of voices; echoes long and loud. There dashes a horseman, with foaming steed, And lightly gathered rein. He sits erect, he waves his hand-Good heaven! Tis Allen Bayne! The lost is found, the dead alive, My safety Is achieved. For he waves his hand again and shouts "The prisoner Is reprieved." Now, mother, praise the God you love, And raise your drooping head. For the murderous gallows, black and grim, Is cheated of its dead.

The Boers and the Blame For War.

Editor Evening treun: The following paragraph appeared In an editorial In theNEWS of Feb. 14: All doubt about of the matter vanished when the Boers declared war and crossed the territorial line to attack Dundee. They invaded British territory to kill and destroy, and on President Kruger and the Boers the blame must rest. Will you please tell me upon what day the Boers declared war? (presumably against England.) Will you please explain why the blame must rest upon President Kruger and the Boers. Did not the ultimatum of October, 1899, Issued by the Boer Republic, otherwise the Transvaal, call for the removal of troops controlled by the British, from the frontiers, and did not the ultimatum say that the holding of these troops in guard constituted.

In the eyes of the South African Republic, a distinct act of war from the point of -view of the Transvaal people? Did not the Boers (using the broad word) enter the territory of the British, not to "kill and destroy," but to preserve the Integrity of the republic, which under the Ministry of Mr. TliaVdsTorie. Was war declared except by the act of Mr. Chamberlain, acting broadly as the government of Great Britain, when he refused to accede to the demands of the South African Republic and remove the British troops from the Cape frontiers? Were not the British troops rushed to the Cape long before there was any war declared on either side? Did not the British government send these troops to the front with the dis tinct avowal that trouble might ensue? What will England gain by the winning of this war except her Ideals "and the gold and diamond fields? Do you think that England would have gone to war with the South African republic for the sake of her Ideals alone? Do you believe that England would have gone to war over the Venezuelan boundary question except for the fact that she was not prepared to come to blows with the United States? Do you believe that England would have gone to war with the United States over the boundary question as relates to Alaska except for the fact that she was not prepared to contest the point with a country which possessed a fighting power equal to her own? Is John Morley a distinctly English type of Briton? Do you know his views on these sub-' Jects? Do you believe that an American a United States American can believe as John Morley believes and still not be rated as a hater of Great Britain? Do you believe that the good American citizens, lovers of Justice, free Bpeeeh, civilization, equity, free religion, liberty, can look upon this Boer-Brltlsh war without feeling that It is a fool affair except In so far as It relates to the acquisition of vast gold fields and diamond mines for. the British? Briefly, will you tell me why you make the statement that war was declared by the South African Republic? H.

P. Buffalo, Feb. 14, 1900. Our correspondent's questions cover a good deal of ground, but one fact may be cited in answer which will Justify the NEWS' statement that the Boers did begin, if they did not in technical terms, "declare" the war: The South African Republic on Oct 10, 1X99, sent to the British government formal ultimatum declaring that war would be commenced on the next day at 5 P. if certain demands were not complied, and on that next day the Boer troops were set in motion and the next day-they crossed the border Into Natal.

This Is not a matter Of opinion at all, but a simple statement of fact. The demands were four In number-arbitration, the withdrawal of all troops "on the borders of this republic," removal of all reinforcements Bent to South Africa since June 1, 1899. "Within reasonable time to be agreed upon with this government," and that the troops on the sea for' South Africa Bhould not be landed. The document continued: "The government presses for as lm mediate and affirmative answer to these four questions and earnestly requests Her Majesty's government to return an answer before- or upon Wednesday, Oct. 11, not later than 6 P.

M. It desires further to add that In the unex. pected event of an answer not satisfactory being received by it within the Interval, It will with great regret be compelled to regard the action of Her Majesty's government as a formal declaration of war," etc. The Boer troops moved across the border on Thursday morning. 1 Taxing Mortgage.

"I object," Interposed the Corporation Counsel. "Don't ask such questions, Mr. Jones," cautioned Referee Blssell. "Do you remember a talk that I had with you last week?" asked Attorney "We didn't have a talk." Teplied Roth. "You handed me a subpoena and 60 cents, but that was all." "Didn't we go Into a rear room In your place and sit down at a table and talk for 10 minutes?" "I don't remember." "In the talk I had with you was anything said about faro?" Roth saw the trap and replied: "There wasn't any talk." "You swear to that positively?" "Yes," answered Roth.

John Bower, who said that he lived at 163 Washington street, known as the Hotel Ellmer, was questioned regarding a man called Hervey Prosser. He de nled that he had seen Prosser, a one armed man named Skip and others play-Inf poker In Prosser's room In theUnlted States Hotel last August. 'POLICY KING" GEORGEHENRY. George Henry's name was called, and the reputed "policy king" stepped to the stand cheery and chipper. He admitted that he knew Oliver, Haley, Burnt and Sickles, but denied that he knew where their places were.

"Let's see, your room Is on Pearl street over Goetx Laporte'i, Isn't It?" asked Mr. Jones. "I have no room there and I never had," replied Henry. "Haven't ever been up over Goetx ft Laporte's?" "Yes In the dining room," Innocently replied Henry. "Have you ever been In any other room In that building?" "No." "Have you been In the Sliver Dollar?" "In the aaloon yes." Henry was asked regarding his acquaintance with a number of reputed gamblers and then Attorney Jones said: "Were you ever In Cosgrove'i room on Washington street?" "No," replied Henry.

Then Attorney Jones asked, with a slight tinge of Irony In his voice: "You have never been In a gambling place In town, have you, Mr. Henry?" "No, I never have." replied Henry In a'volce that was childlike and bland. Peter Forrewtel, of Forrestel St Stretch, saloonkeepers at I East Seneca street, was next called. Attorney Jones tried to prove by this witness that he had sold tickets on a baseball combination board In his saloon during the summer of 1S99. Forrestel ssld that the board was put up and 6000 tickets printed, but that the police put a stop to the enterprise and no combinations were actually sold.

Mr. Jones mads an effort to prove that a man named Cooper was employed to make combinations and sell tickets, but Forrestel maintained that Cooper did the work for "accommodation" and without recompense. The hearing was then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. FLINT KENT, 554-562MAIN STREET. John Kerns, Frank Wiedolf, Barney Fossett, Al Walker and others.

"I am correct In my supposition that you do not go Into gambling rooms at all?" asked Mr. Jones. "I do not," replied Aid. Kennedy, who was then excused. NATE FEN TON AND HIS HAT.

"Nate Fenton!" sang out Attorney Jones, and thellroadway concert saloonkeeper and backer of prizefighters took the stand. Nate had his hat in his rtpht hand and when Referee Blssell told him to take the Bible In his hand to be sworn, Fenton, In order to dispose of the hat. put It. unconsciously proD. ably.

head. Referee Blssell was earnestly reading the oath to Fenton and did not notice the performance un til a titter of laughter from tne audience warned him that something was wrong. Fenton had such a comical appearance that the Court could not refrain from smiling and then the crowd burst Into hearty laughter. Fenton testified that his right name was Nathan Fernande. He said ha knew certain alleged gamblers named by Mr.

Jones and did not know others. He had heard- that Burns and Sickles had a roony-on West Eagle street, but said he did not know their business. He claimed he did not know the nature of the business of Cosgrove and others an said he was Ignorant of the fact that Gerlach and Gardner had a room over Long John's saloon at Michigan and Eagle streets. "Do you play poker?" asked Attorney Jones. "Now, Mr.

Jones," protested Fenton with mock earnestness; "I won't answer that question it's too personal. If my creditors knew I played poker they wouldn't give me no more credit." George Burton was called to the stand next. Attorney Jones tried to show that Burton had rented the front room on the second floor of 3S7 Washington street, but Burton denied that he had ever had any Interest In the place. "I had nothing to do with it," said he, "They've been using my name, but I haven't got anything to do with them." "Yes, that's true; they've been using your name as the proprietor of the room," said Attorney Jones. USED TO DEAL FARO.

Burton stated that he had been acquainted with Edward Gaynor for 20 years arid Bam Cosgrove for about five years. "What Is Cosgrove'i business?" asked Mr. Jones. "I don't know that he has any. Re used to do business for me at one time," replied Burton.

"What kind of business?" "Dealing faro." Burton said he had seen Cosgrove about two or three times during the last 18 months. He couldn't say how often he had seen Gaynor "Do you know Frank Webster?" asked the lawyer. "Yes." "What does he dor' "I don't know what he Is doing now. He used to keep on East Mohawk street." John P. Roth, manager of the Queen City Rowing Club, as his concert saloon Is called, on Oak etreet, was summoned to the stand.

He said he bad Waterloo and Other Famous Fights. Editor Evening Nemt "An Alsatian" In your edition of the 12th Inst, seems very much disgruntled and accuses the undersigned of throwing a slur at France, which would be true If recounting a few historical facts could be thus construed, which is here distinctly denied. At the present, day majority of the French press and people seem to be- the mud-sllngers, which does not stick to the British tlon or to the person of their honored -'Queen; and, doubtless, they wllL be forced to "eat the. leek" for their un-. manly conduct one coming day.
