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. DUKE IN HOT WATER.

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.

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. NEW SPANISH CABINET. Personnel of Premier Sagasta’s nin istry Is flade Public.
