Emporia, Kas., March 26—The
Hotel Whitley, in the heart of the city
was held at one o'clock this morning
by two masked robbers. The clerk,
Paul Vlcery, the porter, jesse Reeves,
and W. F. Sullivan, a traveling man
were forced at the muzzles of pistols
into the cloak room, first being rob
bed of their cash, and then the hotel
drawer was rifled and an attempt
made to open the safe which failed.
The robbers with a revolver in
each hand, appeared, one at the east
and the other at the west end of the
room, with orders, "Hands up."
Sullivan was the first victim. He
was ordered to the center of the room
and told to throw his cash on the floor
fad the order was complied1 with,
about fifty dollars being delivered up.
He was then marched at the mouth of
a revolver into the cloak room and
the door locked on him. The porter
was next hustled in after him and
the kay was turned on them.
Failed to Open the Safe.
The clerk was ordered to throw
open the 'afe. This he was unable
to do an dthey ordered him also to
"shell out" which he also did, deliver-
ing up about a dollar and a half in
change. He was then locked up with
the other two in the cloak room.
The robbers then attempted to
break open the office safe, but soon
desisted, finding their efforts, futile.
They then departed, after orderi*g
-ne three prisoners to remain quiet
where they were.
When the robbers marched Vicery
into the cloak room with a big revol
ver pushed up close to his ear, the
ludicrousness of the thing struck him
so forcibly that he toughed audibly.
This seemed *o anger the masked man
who roughly demanded:
What the h—1 are you laughing
at?" and thr-atened with an oath to
snoot his head off

London, Mach 26.—Incomplete re-
ports of the result of the combined
movement of the British columns
against General Delary have enabled
Kitchener to announce the capture of
about ofle hundred prisoners, three
fifteen pounders, two pompoms and
quantities of stock, wagons, etc.
General Delary appears to have suc-
cessfully evaded Kitchener's cordon
at the offset.
In a dispatch, dated fi*>m Pretoria,
Kitchener says:
"At dusk, on the evening of March
23, a combined movement against De-
lary was undertaken by columns of
mounted men without guns or Impedi-
ment of any sort. The colmns start-
ed from Commando Drift on the Vaal
river, and traveled rapidly all night
and at dawn, March 24, occupied posi
lions along the line from Commando
Drift to the Licbtenberg block house
line. The troops moved rapidly east-
ward, keeping a continuous ine, with
the object or driving the enemy
against th block house, or forcing an
action. The result has not yet been
fully reported.
"Kekewich's column, after the com-
mencement of action, captured three
fifteen pounders, two pompoms, nine
prisoners and a hundred mules, carts
and wagons. General Kitchener's
column captured 89 prlosners, 45 carts
and wagons and a thousand cattlo.
There are a few more prisoners on
the block house line. The troops cov-
ered eighty miles in 24 hours. Roch
fort's and Rawllnson's columns have
not yet reported their results."
Kitchener, in a later message, says:
"All the reports are now in. The
total number of prisoners is 135.
Excites Grave Apprehension
Preparing Early For Creditable Show-
ing of the National Guards.
Praises Improvements But
is Cautious in Speak=
ing of Management
President Roosevelt Says
They Will Find No Fa=
vor With Him
Governor Ferguson, in speking to-
day of his visit to the sanitarium at
Norman, said:
"I found the exterior Improvements
made which had been recommended
by the investigating committee. Dr.
Werner, a member or the board, ac-
companied me. I found that a splen-
did, large hospital ward had been
built and was well equipped for an
establishment of that size. This is
an improvement that lias joag been
needed and will be of great benefit in
taking care of the sick of the institu-
tion.
"Fire escapes have beta placed on
the building according to the recom
mendation of the committee. I also
found that the cesspool, which has
been so obnoxious, has been arranged
satisfactorily to all parties concerned.
"As to the management of the san-
itarium I am not prepared to make a
statement at this time, as the short
time spent at Norman did not give
me sufficient time to look into the
management, however, ev^ry tying
seems to be doing pretty well. There
are at present about three hundred in-
mates including people from all stages
in life.
"I expect to make another visit to
the sanitarium in a few weeks."

OLEO IN THE SENATE.
[By Associated Press.]
Washington, D. C„ March 26.—
The senate resumed consideration of
the oleomargerine bill. Hansbrough
(N. D.) continued his speech in sup-
port of the measure.
At noon today the rails for the
Choctaw's temporary track were laid
and spiked to the ties as Tar as Har
rison avenue.
Although no date has not yet been
decided upon for the annual encamp
ment of the Oklahoma National
Guard, it is the evident purpose of
the governor and Adjutant General
Burlingame that a creditable exhibit
of the territorial militia is to be
made this year and the following or
ders have been issued to that end:
Guthrie, Okla., March 22, 1902.
General Order No. 1.
The following order has been is-
sued by the commander in chief.
Guthrie, Okla., March 22, 1902.
Executive Military Order No. 2.
1. An encampment of the®Okla
homa National Guard Is hereby or
dered to be held for a period of six
consecutive days during the year 1902,
at a time and place which shall be
announced hereafter in official orders.
2. The adjutant general is directed
to procure all necessary supplies and
equipments, and make such orders
and arrangements, as may be deemed
requisite for the proper carrying out
of this order.
T. B. Ferguson, Governor,
Commander in Chief.
It is therefore enjoined upon all
officers and enlisted men of the Okla-
homa National Guard to make thor-
ough preparation for a creditable and
gratifying consummation of this prin-
cipal event of the year.
Enlistments to fill the ranks should
be expedited in order that recruits
may have ample time and opportuni
iy for drill and discipline.
Regular and diligent study, pati-
ently pursued, will effect results both
valuable and pleasing. Company
commanders will find it profitable to
instruct all enlisted men in the school
of the battalion, and the evolutions of
the regiment, using a blackboard for
the delineation of the charts found in
the drill regulations. If every man in
tne ranks is so familiar with a move-
ment that he can map it out in his
mind there will be a marked degree
of promptness and precision in its
execution.
It is very important that each com-
mand should be exercised in guard
mounting, as the manner in which
this service has been performed here-
tofore has been subject to severe
criticism.
Attention to keeping equipments
and uniforms clean, and in good re
pair, will contribute very much to aa
orderly and neat appearance, and the
formation of a good habit.
E. P. Burlingame,
Adjutant General.
