PENSION AGENT CONVICTED.
Atlanta Judge Gives Dickerson Maxi- I
mum Limit of the Law.
An Atlanta dispatch says: Twelve
months in the chain-gang or SI,OOO
fine was the punishment given to I. •
H. Dickerson, a negro, by Judge Cal
houn Wednesday after the negro had
been guilty of a gigantic swindle iu
connection with the National ex-Slave
Mutual Relief Bounty and Pension
Association. The nominal charge
against the prisoner was cheating and
swindling in that he had defrauded
Sciila Smith, colored, out of 75 cents.
In pronouncing sentence Judge
Calhoun stated that the law did not
allow him to sufficiently punish Dick
erson for his bleeding of ex-slaves
through his association, and expressed
regret that he had to let Dickerson off
with the maximum penalty. Several
negro victims of Dickerson were in
court during the trial.
According to evidence brought out
at the trial the operation of the asso
ciation covers the whole United States.
Its membership consists entirely of
ex-slaves who were induced to join
the association iu what was said to be
a union for the benefit of legislation
granting pensions to ex-slaves. There
was an initiation fee of 25 cents and
10 cents monthly dues, Dickerson
stated that the funds thus raised were
to be sent to Washington in the in
terest of the hill, but instead they
went into his own pocket.
In Atlanta Dickerson operated
through a local branch of the asso
ciation of which Callie House, a ne
gro, was secretary. Sciila Smith, the
prosecutor, finally went to Washing
ton, her way being paid by the local
association, and there she made in
vestigations. She found no money
had been sent there at all.
NEW TRIAL NOT GRANTED.
Five Negroes Convicted of Murder
Stand in Shadow of Gallows.
In Saudersville, Ga., Wednesday
Judge Evans refused to grant anew
trial to the negroes, Arnold Augustus,
William Hudson, Tom Davis, Charles
Sanders, and Sam Baldwin, convicted
of murder at a recent session of the
Screven superior court and sentenced
to hang this month. The prisoness
killed Philmore Herrington and Mil
ton Mears, two young white men,
about a trifling matter, and when the
officers went to arrest them they made
an attempt to ambush them, wounding
three of the posse, among them being
Captain Wade.
Attorneys for the prisoners held
that the conviction was contrary to
the general principles of law, while
some of the evidence against them
was secured by methods that were
improper and questionable. The
sheriff, po the evidence showed, open
ed an envelope given him by one of
the condemned men to take to the
postoffice. In the letter was an appeal
to an Augusta minister to help the
signers—the condemned men—as they
had killed some white men. This was
proper evidence, Judge Evans held.

GENERAL BOTHA
WILLING TO QUIT
He Accepted a Proffered
Armistice.
YIELDS TO HIS WIFE’S PRAYERS
Dewet and Steyn, However, Not
Yet Anxious to Stop Hostil
ities Just Yet.
A London special says: General
Kitchener has granted General Botha
a seven days' armistice to.euable him
to confer with the other generals.
A special dispatch from Pretoria,
dated Friday, says General Kitchener
and General Botha had a lenthy con
ference on Gun Hill Friday morning.
General Botha was alone and General
Kitchener was accompanied by his sec
retary.
The Daily Chronicle, referring to
the armistice at Pretoria, says:
“i’he untiring agent in briuging
about the negotiations was Mrs. Botha,
who was deeply affected by the hope
less plight of the Boers.
“The meeting of February 27tli was
limited to General Botha’s request to
know Lord Kitchener’s terms. Lord
Kitchener replied that a general am
nesty would be granted to all who
surrendered, as well as to all prison
ers,'except those Cape Dutch, who,
being British subjects, had actively
fomented Boer resistance. General
Dewet and Mr. Steyn were, however;
expressly excluded from the amnesty.
“Lord Kitchener further promised
that if peace were concluded th£ gov
ernment would assist iu rebuilding the
farmhouses and other buildings de
stroyed under military exigencies,
would reinstate the lawful owners and
would help them stock their farms.
Those guilty of acts of treachery would
be excluded from the benefits.
“General Botha appeared to be sat
isfied with the conditions and the
armistice being arranged. Ho pro
ceeded to consult his officers, a vast
majority of whom accepted the terms.
“Dewet and Steyn both remained
irreconcilable. They declined any
terms. Dewet adding that on his part
the war bad become one of revenge,
aud he intended to do all the mischief
he could.
“It is possible that the original ar
mistice of a week has been extended.
It is believed that the remainder of
General Botha’s officers have now
been won around and that he is likely
to make formal submission to Lord
Kitchener March 11th, when his force
will surrender to General French.
“According to our information Lord
Kitchener’s dispositions made the
speedy capture of General Botha’s
forces quite certain. General Botha
frankly accepted the situation and was
treated by Lord Kitchener at both in
terviews with the greatest consider
ation,”
“The negotiations between Lord
Kitchener and General Botha are in
abeyance,” says the Pretoria corres
pondent of The Times, writing Wed
nesday, “pending au answer from the
British government.”
Dispatches from Amsterdam and
Brussels say that Mr. Kruger’s entour
age continues to profess ignorance of
the existence of negotiations declaring
that Genera? Botha cannot act for the
Orange Free Stato and that, in any
case, no terms are possible unless
Lord is prepared to discuss
independence.
Lord Kitchener reporting under
date of March 7th, ssys:
“The Boers failed in their deter
mined attack upon Lichtenburg. Our
losses, besides the two officers previ
ously reported, were fourteen men
killed and twenty wounded. The Boer
General Celliors was killed.
“French reports further captures of
a fourteen pounder Creusot, with car
riage and limber complete, and one
Hotchkiss, making a total of seven
gnns. The total number of Boers
known to have been placed hors du
combat since the eastern operations
began is 979.”
Adding to his last report, Lord
Kitcbo' er states that 159 rifles, 24,970
pounds of ammunition, 183 horses,
1,240 trek oxen, 3,920 cattle, 13,580
sheep, 100 wagons aud carts and large
quantities of forage have been cap
tured without casualties in Cape Col
ony.

IRISH MEMBERS
FORCIBLY EJECTED
Wi’d Scene In English
House of Commons.
BALFOUR’S RULING IS DEFIED
flany Officers and Policemen Re
quired to Carry Out Brawny
Members From Erin.
A London Special says: There was
a stormy scene iu the house of com
mons shortly after midnight Tuesday
night caused by Mr. Balfour closing
the whole education estimates with
out giving an opportunity to discuss
the Irish votes.
When Mr. Balfour applied the clos
ure ou the education estimates, the
nationalists shouted, “gag, gag,” and
refused to leave the house when tho
division was taken. The chairman
twice asked them to retire to the divis
ion lobby, but they shouted: “Cer
tainly not.” Mr. Flavin cried: “I
protest against the way all Irish votes
are closured.”
The chairman then intimated that he
must report the matter to the speaker.
In the meantime the other members
had returned fiom the lobbies amid
some uproar, thirty or forty Tiishmeu
remaining iu their seats. The speaker
having returned to the house, the
chairman reported the matter to him,
and the speaker asked if the Irish
members still refused to obey the or
der and there were cries of “Yes, yes.”
The speaker then named sixteen re
calcitrants and Mr. Balfour moved
their suspension. This was agreed to
without a division.
The speaker ordered them to with
drtvw, but they refused, amidst great
uproar. The speaker called upon tho
sergeant at arms to remove them.
They shouted defiance. The deputy
sergeant at arms advanced and asked
them to leave; still they refused. At
this a number of officers and police
men entered to enforce removal.
Eugene Crean, member for south
east Cork, struggled desperately
against removal and there was quite a
free fight on the floor, lasting for fivo
minutes,other Irishmen assisting him.
Eventually he was carried out bodily
by six policemen amjd yells and
cheers.
The police then returned and car
ried out each of the remaining recalci
trants in the same manner, although
there was no further actual resistance.
Six policemen sufficed for each mem
ber, with the exception of Mr. Flavin,
who is a big man, and required eight.
Many, as tiny were being carried out,
waved their hands anil shouted: “God
save Ireland.”
At 1 o’clock the speaker said:
“The bouse will now resume pro
ceedings in committee aud I trust that
honorable members will not leave
house.”
The Irish members shouted that
they would not leave. The chairman
again put the vote oil accouut, adding,
there being no teller or noes, that the
ayes had it. Amid laughter aud
cheers the house adjourned.
Never before had such a scene oc
curred in the house as accompanied
Ihe removal of Mr. Crean. He strug
gled fiercely with the attendants, who
summoned the police, and a dozen
constables entering the house. Tho
Nationalist jeered at them. Four or
five stalwart policemen proceeded to
seize Mr. Crean, who stuck his legs
qhder the seat and could not be moved
for some minutes.
Meanwhile other policemen were
struggling and fighting with other
Irishmen, who stood up and obstructed
the passage of the police to Mr. Crean’s
seat. The Irish shouted: ‘ Don’t kill
me” and “Don’t kill the man.”
The nationalists fought and utrng
gled frantically, but at length a su
perior force of police succeeded in
dragging Mr. Crean out by the legs
and arms and carrying him down the
floor of the bouse, the Irishmen stand
ing and wildly shouting: “Shame,”
“murderers” and “South African bru
tality. ”
There were still about fifty Irishmen
present when the committee resumed,
but they refused to appoint any tellers
for a division. The nationalists jeered
Mr. Balfour and the other ministers
as they left the building.
