London, Jan. 17. A Capetown dis
patch confirms the report that the
Johannesburg meeting on Saturday
was broken up by hands of armed and
organised Hoers, and gives the fol
lowing account of the affair:
The Hoers occupied the building quite
an hour before the commencement of
the meeting, and from the galleries I
threw down boxes, chairs and tables
upon th e I'itlanders In the arena. '
Wllhln lo minutes terrible lighting was
In progress. The whole Interior was
wrecked, the police remaining passive
specttton, and the wreckage made .1
huge pile on the main door of the hull. ,
At one stage In the lighting the police
caught a young Boer trying to set lire
to the debris, but they liberated him
after a mild rebuke.
At this point u fresh contingent of j
Hoers Invaded the hall, flourishing
sticks and Iron burs and attacking
every Fitlunder they came across un
armed. The I 'It hinders made for the
door, escaping after a terrific scuffle, In
which many were injured. Outside Hi"
hall they formed up, waiting for a fur
ther attack.
The Hoers th?n held a meeting ins!d.
wrecked the hall, emerged and marched
to the police barracks, cheering the
government and hooting the I'itlanders.
Huge Crowd! thronged the streets
throughout the night. The censorship
at Johannesburg Is very strict, but the
latest telegrams say thai many scenes
of Violence occurred In the streets after
the meeting. Matters had begun to look
ugly. When the police commandant
persuailed the Hoers to depart, the
English remaining behind and singing
the nutlonal anthem, Two Englishmen
who were arretted after the meeting
for disturbing the peace were ultimate
ly released.
President Krtiger and the Hoer au
thorities are said to be greatly annoyed,
because the president had promised lo
permit the meeting I' conducted In
orderly fashion.
THE DELAWARE DEADLOCK.
Addlrks Men Claim Their ( niidlduto
the Regular Republican Nominee.
Dover, Del., Jan. 17. The Republican
members of the legislature, who num
ber SI of the total membership of 52,
did not agree upon u candidate for
United States senator to succeed Hon.
George Gray. The general assembly be
gins voting for a senator today, and In
the line of political procedure a caucus
was arranged for last evening. The
only Republicans who met, however,
were the Union, or Addlcks Republi
cans, and 1 r. of this faction gathered In
the house of representatives. The meet
ing was presided over by State Senator
J. Frank Ailee, and the members voted
unanimously for J. Edward Addlcks.
They contend that their gathering was
the regular caucus of the pnrty, and
that Its outcome makes Addlcks the Re
publican nominee. In this, however, the
Dupont element does not concur. The
I Democratic members held a minority
I caucus last evening, and after several
of that party hail withdrawn, owing to
; their sentiments on the silver question,
I the remainder voted unanimously for
' George Gray.
The houses voted separately today, and
I the Joint ballot of the assembly will be
gin tomorrow. It Is expected that at
j least 11 regulars will vote for Dupont
The Gray vote will be about IB. lnas-
I much as It has been established that
"a majority of the members present''
ran elect a senator, the deadlock which
will undoubtedly occur may be broken
before the end of the CO duy's session of
the legislature.

The Americans "Completely Iteset."
Madrid. Jan. 17 The absence of news
from Manila la attrhuted by the Span
lards here to the alleged orders of
President McKlnley to the local au
thorities at the Philippine capital not
to permit cipher messages to be trans
mitted. The newspapers assert that
these orders are due to the fact thai
the authorities at Washington "fear
the bad effects which a revelation of
the true situation at Manila would
create, the Americans being completely
beset on the land side by Insurgents."
