A Portuguese official dispatch says an

Dispatches received from both Boer

fee situation at Mafcklng in doubt. It
claimed at Pretoria that the town '

and that Hnden-Powell had surrendered
4th 000 fighting men.

BOERS TO SURRENDER.
A Strnnire Story Front C'nne Town
via London.
LONDON, May 10. The most impor
tant development in today's war news in
the statement cabled from Cnpe Town
announcing that the ltoer delegates had
advised the Transvaalcrs to surrender if
defeated at the Yaal. This remarkable
announcement is vouched for on good
authority and evidently obtains more
credence in Cuiie Town than would a
Biare rumor. i
the occupation of Glencoe was merely '
a logical sequel of General Holler's ad

lance and the Boers' retiring movement.
As usual, the Boers art' reported to be
tying precipitately, but also, as usual,
the accounts add that their transport
and guns wcro removed in safety, which
fcx Itself is a contradiction of any state
tent that the Boers were panic stricken.
Ni4hing further has been heard from
afekiug, and it is reasonable to sup
tose that the conditions there are un
changed. The prolongation of the siege
nly Intensifies Great Britain's anxiety
to bear of its relief.
About 1,100 more troops have arrived
at Beira, Portuguese East Africa.

A dispatch to The Daily Mail from
JjOtirencu Marques, dated Tuesday, nays:
"There is now no doubt that there was

"The Boers, using artillery, attacked
he town Saturday. Very soon the Kaf
r location was in flames. Some say as
be result of shell lire, others as the re

"The truth Is, 1 believe, that the Pro.

ful thnt it will not he many months he
fore affairs will have naturally adjusted
themselves to the American control and
the robber gnugt will have been stamped
out.
"The robher bands," said General
Sehwan. "are incited by native politician
who impose on the credulity of the com
mon herd. No people are so credulous as
the lower class of the Filipinos. These
leaders have been inciting the ex-soldiers
to continue on the warpath, assuring
thntti flint Amiifinn nl tl,in h-h. .,... '
coming anil McKinley would be defeated
and the Americans withdrawn from the
Philippines.
"There are about (10,000 troops In the
Philippines now. That number is ample
for the situation. The inlands are well
vered with American troops, carefully
distributed to all the strategic points and
each garrison responsible for Its own
sphere of action. Many of the robber
bands are armed, principally with keen
edged bolos, the native weapon. They
pillage small towns and frequently cut
the throats of natives who have been
friendly to Americans. By degrees, how-
,h' distributed garrisons are gain
in it the confidence of the townspeople
where they are stationed, and already
have succeeded in mime cases in getting
native help to guide them to the robbers.
"After the wet season and after the
national elections in this country the pac-
j itieation of the Philippines will nattiral-
I ly complete itseir. rite natives are quicK

'SENATE IS BAFFLED
Clark's Coup Makes a Sensa
tion In Washington.
The Governor of Montana Is
Highly Indignant.
Condemns the Action of Lieu
tenant Governor In Appoint
ing Clark In His Absence.
WASHINGTON Mnv 1(1 At 1
o'clock President Fro Tern. Frye laid be-
fore the senate the Montana resolution. I
Mr. Chandler inked that the resolution !
be postponed until t o'clock on Saturday
in order to give t ho senate committee j
on privileges and elections an opportuni
ty to consider whether further action ,
was necessary. This was agreed to. I
To put the mutter plainly, the Fnited
States senate does not know "where it
Is at" In the ensp of Mr. Clark of Mon- ,
tana. The committee on privileges and
elections may be able to find out, but its
members are, to say the least, skeptical
of being able to solve the riddle in a
hurry. The dramatic action in which
the lieutenant governor of Montana and
W. A. Clark, who resigned from the sen
ate, figured was its unexpected as it
seems to have been successful. In the
twinkling of an eye the anti-Clark men
found themselves undone and in such n
clever manner that they cannot with
hold their admiration. Now that the
first surprise is over, the pirtiticlans nre
wondering why they did not think of it
all before. Hut nobody did, and. so fai
ns opinion among the lawyers and parlia
mentarians in the senate goes, Mr.
Spriggs and Mr. Clark have won the day.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt,
first, that a vacancy existed in the seii
ate from Montana as soon as the gov
ernor had received Mr. Clark's rosiirnn-

being so the senate will have to admit

In proof of the claim that a vacancy
existed, Senator Chandler, chairman of
the committee on privileges and elections.
says there is no sort of doubt thnt the
senate at present is made up of SO sena
tors, vacancies existing in Delaware,
I'tnh, Pennsylvania and Montana,
Moreover, when Mr. Clark announced
his resignation Mr. Frye, president of

was taken yesterday nfter Mr. Clark's
speech, his nnme was not called. These
facts seem to settle the point ns to a va-
enncy existing.
As to the lieutenant governor's right to
appoint in the absence from the state
of the governor, there seems to be no
question either. The constitution np-
penrs to be so clear on this point as to
leave no room for dispute.
This state of feeling arises from the 1
fnct that Governor Smith, who is hostile
best not to put him on the stand. He
' returned to Montana embittered toward
Clark, nnd it bits been understood thnt
the chief reason for Clark's delay in re
signing hns been his knowledge thnt if
he did resign the governor would ap
point an opponent, possibly Marcus Daly,
to succeed him.
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs. on the
other hand, is a Clark man. He came
here with tho crowd of witnesses for

HOME, May PI. The Italian chamber
of deputies reassembled yesterday sfter
nn Interval of several weeks since the
adjournment that wns occasioned by the
obstruction of the members of the Ex
treme Left, who withdrew In a body and
refused to participate further In the pro
ceedings of the chamber ns a protest
against the decision of Sigtlor Colombo,
president of the chamber, in upholding
the alteration of the rules of procedure
with a view to preventing obstruction.
At that time they denounced Signor
Colombo's course ns a violation of the
constitution. Today they persisted In an
equally uncompromising attitude.
Signor Giolitti proposed a resolution In
the nature of n compromise, but Signor
Pantano, on behalf of the Leftists, de
clared that they would never yield until
respect for legality had been re-estab- 1
lished.
General Pelloux, the premier, followed,
announcing that the resolution could not
be accepted under the new rules. !
The Extreme IiCftisti then demanded
a poll of the house to ascertain whether
a quorum was present.
The president of the chamber refused
to grant this request, basing his refusal
upon the ground that the demand was
Incompatible with the new regulations.
This provoked an uproar, and a num
ber of Leftists sang the "Hymn to La
bor." The president was finally com
pelled to suspend the session. On its re
sumption Inter he asked the chamber to
approve the minutes of the last sitting.
The entire majority rose in support of
the proposition, and Signor Colombo de
clared the minutes approved.
The Extreme Leftists were furious,
shouted protests, banged their desks and
sang the "Garibaldi Hymn."
Amid this din the president adjourned
the session.

A Shock From Iowa.
Nowhere will the conduct of the
Iowa house of representatives produce
so great a shock as In Pennsylvania.
We actually see a branch of a state
legislature overwhelmingly Republi
can pronouncing against a policy to
which the party in congress has com
mltted Itself. Every member of con
Kress from Iowa voted for the Porto
Rico tariff bill and the speaker of the
house, nn Iownn, did all he could for
the measure. Yet the Republicans of a
branch of the Iowa legislature by unan
imous vote adopt a resolution declaring
for free trade with the Island.
Fancy such Independence In the leg
islature of Pennsylvania. If you can
Or supposing the Impossible to happen,
and the house at Harrisburg arrogat
ing to Itself the right to think and ex
press Its thought In Biich fashion-
picture to yourself the horror of the
machine. We should hear from Mr.
Quay that the world was about to come
to an end, and that every follower of
Mr. Quay, after recovering his breath,
would rend the skies with loyal shouts
In denunciation of treason aud insur
gency so hideous.
Iowa takes ue man.festatlon of Its
house's temerity with miraculous calm
ness. As yet we have seen no lntima
Hon from that state thnt the house has
covered Itself with everlasting Infamy
by daring to speak Its honest mind. It
even seems to be taken for granted out
there that It ia not revolutionary and
indecent for a legislature to own itself
instead or being owned by a boss.
