GREAT ADMIRAL'S TRIUMPH

Upton was accorded an ovation all
along the line.
4 Tribute to Upton.
To those on board the Erin, decked
out as she was with flags of all nations,
it looked as if the American people
were greatly pleased with Sir Thomas
and were delighted with an opportunity
to give him a hearty welcome. They
ran alongside in tugs, barges, launches
and big excursion steamers and shouted
all sorts of complimentary things to
him. while the tall yachtsman on the
upper bridge of the Erin wore a smile
and not infrequently called back his
thanks for the kind wishes.
Sir Thomas had on board some of
his friends from this side of the water
and from England and the company
during the early part of the afternoon
We're kept busy returning the cheering
which was hurled at the Erin from all
sides. Among those who watched the
parade from the deck Of the Erin We're
Prince Reginald de Croy of Belgium
and Hon. Charles Russell of London.
Even before the Erin had weighed
anchor half a dom tugs had come
alongside and the cheering and whist
ling continued until the end of the day
began.
After the signal for the start was
given the Corsair led followed by a
magnificent string of steam yachts
smothered in flags in two long lines.
The Erin headed the starboard column,
with Col. John Jacob Astor's Nour
mahal right astern, while the Niagara,
with Howard Gould on board headed
the port column, with the new Jose
phine of Joseph ~ Weidener right be-
hind her. The Erin was continuously
saluted on the way up and the man on
the after deck beside the flag staff
which carried the big yacht pennant
was continuously dipping it in return.
Everything seems to be going first
class" said Sir Thomas. as the yacht
neared the battery and the parade is
certainly great success"
Looking over through the tremendous
crowd that covered the wharves and
battery, he shouted to those on deck:

London, Sept. 4, The Johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail, who
paints gloomy and pitiable picture of
the condition OF things there, says: It
is almost case of absolute exodus and
punic. Business is paralyzed, the prices
of food stuirs are rapidly rising, half
the houses are empty and the others
are tenantci by people who do not pay
rent. the landlords being glad enough
to have them rs occupants in order to
insure some sort of protection to the
property. The tension has reached
the swapping point Bankruptcy and
starvation are staring people in the
face. Another fortnight of suspense
viii result in complete commercial
collapse. The banks are thronged
with people anxious to withdraw their
gold and the railways are besieged by
those who wish to get away.

going to town with him to sign a deed
she jumped from the buggy and he

WHITE LABOR IN HAWAII.
4 Government Representative Finds That
Native Planters Desire American Immi-
grants Climate Is All Right.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Daniel A. Ray,
designated by the secretary of state to
investigate labor conditions and labor
immigration in the Hawaiian islands
since annexation, has about concluded
his work and expects TO return to the
states early in September. He has Wis
tied every island in the group and al
most every plantation. II shall be
able to report he said, not only
willingness on the part of the planters
to secure white immigrants to meet
the demands for labor in all depart
ments of industry, and to build up
population that will be, or will become
American, but a very strong desire on
the part of most of them for such an
immigration. One of the greatest OBJ
stacles to securing white labor is the
widely-prevailing opinion that the
white man cannot stand the labor of
the plantations in this climate On
this point | think have secured data
sufficient to prove not only that he can,
but that he does"

A Fierce Timber Fire Near Deadwood.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. A special to
the Bee from Deadwood, S. d., says: A
fierce timber fire ragged about ten miles
south of this place and threatened a
wide extent of country. 1t broke out
some time Saturday night, and as every
thing is dry as finder and a gale is
blowing from the south, the situation
is very serious. People turned out
from the immediate vicinity to fight
the fire, but their efforts met with
little success. Englewood, on the
burlington railroad, was threatened
with destruction and the inhabitants
were trying to get their belongings to
places of safety.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. "A deter
mined freight rate war is on between
the Burlington and Memphis railroads
in which other Kansas City lines will
soon be forced to take a hand. The
Burlington line put in a reduced rate
on paclSing-house products from Omaha
to points south of the Ohio river and
east of the Mississippi river. The
Memphis railroad at once cut the rate
three cents from Kansas City, thus
preserving the advantage of SIX cents
which Kansas City has long enjoyed
over Omaha.
