which, when finally convinced that the
delight Of "aesipg the die lady" was not

Of phase Of public curiosity but little

experienced annoyance from 1t, but which

Whether from religious, superstitious or

are numbers of people In this city who
make practice Of invading the houses In

mourners with requests to inspect the

BRI7ONS DETERMINED.
Joseph Chamberlain Outlines the
Policy Of the Government
IN A SPEECH AT BIRMINGHAM.

'sThs Transvaal Is Blaarantly vio-
latinx the Equality the London Con-
vsntion Was Intendsd to SECURE"
The Govornmentwnl Not Draw Back
Birmingham, Eng. June 27.-Jossph
Chamberlain, secretary Of state tor
tina colonies. addressing the Unionists
Of this city last evening, reviewed care
fully the Transyaal question.
In the course of his speech he said
that, owing to the enormous military
preparations Of the government Of the
South African republic. Great Britain
had been compelled to increase the
British garrison in Cape Colony and
Natal, entsiling an additional ex-
penditurs Of H600,0O0 annually.
III the reforms which Lord Ripon
proposed In 1894 had been accepted"
said the minister, there would have
been NO raid and no crisis at the pres
emit. But the raid tied the hands OF
the government and prevented the
application of pressure"
Mr.. Chamberlain said the govern
ment had tried to establish friendly re-
laticns with President Kruger. but oil
their advances had heen received with
contempt. He then proceeded to sulo-
gise Sir Alfred Miner. governor OF
Cape Colony and British high COM
missioner for South Africa. The gov
eminent accepted full responsibility for
the actions Of that official. As for the
counter proposals of Mr.. Kruger, they
did not constitute even fair install
ment Of reform.
After denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and actions OF tbs
Beers, Mr.. Chamberlain, with great
elaboration and emphasis, added:
1.-THE TransvaaPs enormous secret
service fund has procured 1t friends
and advocates in every country. The
way the British subject there Is treated
is not only menace to them, but in
terferes with our prestige among the
natives, who now regard the Beers,
and not the British, as the paramount
power.
Besides the breaches Of the London
convention the Transvaal is flagrantly
violating the equality that convention
was intended to secure. Its misgoy-
eminent 10 fostering sore, poisoning
the whole atmosphere Of South Africa.
The Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal
would be in the happiest condition, but
SO long az the disease Of hatred and
suspicion prevails in Transvaal 1t Is
impossible to stop the contagion.
"Four times since Independence was
granted we have been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal. It Is erron-
eous to say the British government
wants war, but 1t Ia equally erroneous
to say that the government will draw
back, now that it has put its hand to
the plow.
I'VE hope that the efforts that are
now being made will lead to an ami
cable arrangement. for Great Britain
only desires justice, but there comes
a time when patience can hardly be
distinguished from weakness and when
moral pressure becomes a farce, that
cannot be continued without loss Of
self respect. trust that time may
never come in this instance but II II
does Britons will insist upon finding
the means to secure a result essential
to the peace of South Africa"

Suicide Does Not Invalidate Policy.
Kansas City, June 27.-Federal Judge
Phillips, in decision in the CASE Of
Rosa B. Jarman against the Knights
Templars' and Mason's Life Indemnity
company, holds that under the statute
governing assessment insurance COM
panies 1t was no defense against tho
payment Of the policy that the insured
committed suicide unless 1t was shown
that he contemplated suicide at the
time he was insured, and that changes
In the rules of the company, made af-
ter the policy was taken out, would
not affect the payment of the policy.
Lawyers have estimated that this rul-
ing will cost assessment companies at
once about 100000.

Charges a senator with Forgery.

CnbrGoB S0uhtOr "ApA cVSHpEys
Sioux Falls. s. D., June 27.-Af.
Burkholder, newspaper man, has
created sensation In political and
army circles by charging that Uni
ted States senator forged letter IN
support of the senator's hostility to
expansion and to the war in the Phil
lppines. The letter purported to have
been written by an officer of the First
regiment, South Dakota volunteers.
whose name was withheld through
fear that the writer would be court
martialed. 1t described the conditions
In the American ranks as being little
better than In the convict camps OF
Siberia. A defense was made in be-
half of the senator that the letter
should have been dated May 9, instead
Of April 8. The letter appeared in the
issue of a paper here last Tuesday
morning, some hours before the ar
rival of the mall train bringing the
regular Manila mail.

Punishment in effigy was legally prac-
tioed in France and with great solemnity
up to the time of the first revolution, says
The Green Bag. If the man condemned
escaped, dummy was put up in his cell,
and the entire routine Of the law allowed
to take its course. Tho warrant was read
to 1t, and on the day appointed 1t was con-
Quoted to tho scaffold in the presence of
all the legal functionaries and with all the
circumstances Of the law. Sometimes the
same person was executed in effigy stimuli
taneously in several cities, but that did
not exempt him from actual punishment
should he be afterward caught.

Cleveland Tired of Baseball

Cleveland, June 27.-Cleveland will
not see any more League baseball this
year No more games will be played
here after the series with Boston
closes, July l. The cause, President
Robinson says, is the refusal Of nearly
every club that has played here this
season to return, owing to the poor
attendance. The gate receipts have
not averaged much over $25 day. All
the Cleveland games will be trans
ferred to other cities.

FITZ AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Says He Will Never Give Sharkey
Another Chance.

Indianapolis, Feb. 23-''Bob" Fitz-
simmons is here filling an engagement
at one of the local theaters. He never
looked in finer physical condition; his
skin is clear and his eyes are bright,
and he has all the dizziness of motion,
common to an athlete in his prime.
Fftzsimmons is also improving in dress,
and today he was faultleSSly attired
Throughout the afternoon the hotel cor
ridors were thronged with sightseers
anxious to greet the Australian, and
when he appeared on the street he at
tracted more attention than a circus.
rms is largely due to his re-entry into
the hStic arena On the occasion of his
last visit there was an impression
abroad that Fitzsimmons would not
fight, and he was given the cold Shout
der. The match with JeffrieS and his
willingness to take on Sharkey, has
turned the cards in his favor. Fitzsim-
mons repudiates the charge that he is
43 years old and growing stale. He was
born in 1868, and is therefore SO years
old. He is well pleased that he is
matched to meet Jeffries.
i will fight Jeffries in May said
he. This week will begin light train
ing, and about six weeks before the
match L will go into active training. I
will whip him easy enough"
Some one suggested that Corbett
would be in Jeffries' corner.
Il don't care who Jeffries gets in his
corner" retorted Fftzsimmons. II lick
ed Corbett, and ought not to be afraid
- Ia fC AAAA as eAAA4ol me DIS d S0cOHO.
He is nothing but a lobster any way
you take him.
Fitzsimmons expressed himself very
cordially toward Mccoy. He is great
fighter, and some day he may be cham
plon. He came very near knocking
Sharkey out, and he would have done
1t II he had any luck. He is strong
enough and big enough, and he knows
how to fight
This suggested Fitzsfmmons' effort to
get on a match with Sharkey
L am through with him for good"
said Bob. i gave Sharkey the chance
of his life, and he wouldn't take it.
NOW l would not agree to fight him il
he came to me on his hands and knees.
l tried to deal with him as though he
was the champion. 1 am the champion
and every fighter has got to come to
me until / lose the title
Fitzsimmons is satisfied with Brady's
suggestions to extend the time for re-
ceivfng bids for the contest with JEFF
fries as it would give other clubs a
chance to compete, but he persists in
his determination that the Lenox club
cannot be considered a factor. 1t is
barred by agreement with Jeffries, and
1t must stay barred, as he will have
of the club. Fitzsimmons repeats that
now as he has re entered the ring he
will be willing to give any man a
chance to face, the only condition being
that he will only make one match at a
time.
IF they will but have patience" says
Fftzsimmons, the opportunity will be
given for the best of them to stand be-
fore me-"
