How Rochester Merchants Bring Busi-
 ness to Their Stores.

Rochester, N. Y, Dec. 4.-State street in this city was at one time the prin- cipal street, in the days when the cen tral station was located on it. It still makes pretentions to being a business street, but it's glory has departed. Of late years there has been a trend of building toward the east, and many of the larger establishments have moved out and gone in that direction.
 The state street business men have now resorted to the scheme of hiring a band and stationing it on the street to play and attract customers. Last Saturday night the Fifty-fourth regi- rnent band was hired, and it marched up and down the street playing popular airs. In a short time an exceedingly large crowd was drawn to the street and during the evening the merchants reaped a harvest. One of the mer- chants also got up a photographic en- tertainment in the street and drew a big side crowd. The merchants hired the band again tonight and the march ing and playing was repeated.

MAY NOT WEAR THE STARS.
Acting Warrant Machinists Held to
 Be Staff Officers.

Washington, Dee. 1.-The attorney general has given an opinion to the sec retary of the nary of considerable in terest regarding the status of acting warrant machinists. a new grade in the navy, created by the personnel law. to ton of the engineer corps with the line. The question involved was whether the machinists were line officers or staff officers, and, incidentally, the practice of considering boatswaiEs and gunners line officers was discussel. The attor- ney general says that acting warrant machinists are of the staff, and that it is lawful and proper to consider boats wains and Eunners as of the line. The machinist, therefore, may not wear the star on his sleeve, indicative of con- nection with the line.
 The attorney general concludes:
 'I think those officers (boatswains and gunners)are not improperly classed in the regulations as officers of the line and that they can properly be given the star upon their uniforms. The machin- ist has existed in Sthe navy for some time. of course, and yet for no great period. He has been a rated or petty officer. The personnel act of this year creating the office of warrant machin- ist shows plainly that congress did not intend to place the machinists in it's own list of line officers, for it repeated that list in section T. and omitted them. They had previously been connected with the engineer cOrDS Cl. it's business "a staff or special corps no part of which had been exercising military command.

Every altera- tion which does not expedite this end provokes suspicion and alarm in the people who hoped to find in the United States a great and generous friend"
 Minister of Finance Desvernine has been ordered to furnish Governor Gen eral Brooke with accurate statistics in regard to mortgages and incumbrances on the island and the money allowed for expenses.
 Senor Desvernine has sent the com munication to thirty-seven registrars of property. with blank forms on which to furnish details. The registrars are to get one dollar for each record exam ined. A months time is allowed to complete the examination.

FEELING IN FRANCE.
It Is Resented by the English, with
 Good Reason.

London, Dec. 1.-The French press is showing it's hatred of England. as usual, over the Transvaal war. Many of the Paris papers raised BOer fagG over their offices as tokens of delight when an English reverse was announc- ed the other day. 4 writer in the Globe reminds the French of the different at ltude taken by England during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. He says: No London newspapers decorated their offices because of the fall of Sedan and Metz, but the news was received with respectful sympathy. Moreover, thousands of ladies set to work to pre- pare lint for the wounded, and when Paris fell large sums were subscribed by the 'rerfdious' English Tor the re lief Of the starving and wounded French. On January IS, 1871. q meet ing was held in London to rais- funds and in four days e24,OOO werc suDscIiJ- eG, the total reaching G126.C00. On Feb ruary siXty-eight tons of food Were taken over to Paris by Colonel Smart Wortley and MT. George Moore. In ad- ditiOn to this e44000 were subscribed for the French peasantfarmers' seed fund, over e6.GOO for distressed in France by the London committee, near Iy G1O,O0O for the refugees benevolent fund, nearly G5,0OO for the French wounded, besides many other contribu- tions in money and kind" The great sympathy shown by the United States, together with the gift of the hospital ship Maine, is regarded here with much gratitude, but it is no more than was anticipated by those who know the gen erosity of Americans in such junctures as the present.

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
Queer Death of Farm Hand Who
 Had Been Robbed.

New York, Dec. 4-The body of John Gazsi, a farm hand who came here from Delmar, Delaware, with $500 that he had saved from his wages, and had intended to carry back to his home in Austria, was found early yesterday morning hanging by the neck by his own belt from a second-story fire es- cape in the rear of 65 Washington street. All that was left of his fortune was $1.20 in American money, eight Austrian coins and a steerage ticket on the steamship Maasdam, which sailed for Rotterdam yesterday morning at s o'clock. Daniel J. Faour, a storekeeper at @ Washington street, discovered the body and reported the case to the po- man Boylan and McManus cut the body down and then made a search for some one who had known the dead man in the saloons and sailors lodging houses of the neighborhood From Moritz Rosett, a ticket seller and money
 
 learned that Gazsi had been there on Saturday afternoon and exchanged $500 in American money for 1920 guilden and purchased a ticket for Oderberg. Gazsi left two bundles of clothing in Rosett's custody and said he would re turn for them. From the money chang CTS Gazsi went to a sailors lodging house at 62 Greenwich street. When he left he told the landlady that he was going to get a shave, and then go aboard the ship.
 He didn't get shaved and didn't go to the Maasdam, but spent the evening at Wurtenberg's saloon and lodging house at 64 Greenwich street. He was seen there by Johan Peritz, one of the lodgers, and that is the last trace the police found of him.
 The yards in the rear of GA Green wich street and 65 Washington street adjOin. There is a low shed between the two houses to the roof of which a person might easily climb by means of a wrecked grape arbor. From the roof of the shed to the fire escape on which the body was found is but a step. The second floor of the Washington street house is not occupied. The ground floor is occupied by a blacksmith who shut up shop early on that night. An ton Brogle, the blacksmith, was Ques toned by the police, but he said he knew nothing about the case. Several women in the Washington and Green wich street houses declare that early Saturday morning they heard shouts of Murder" and cries for help. Rosett said that the man had been murdered for his money in one of the lodging houses and that his body was after ward dragged across the two yards, hOisted on to the roof of the shed and hung from the fire escape.
 There was no cut or bruise on the body and strangulation was evidently the cause of death. The police, after Investigating the case, laughed at the money changers theory of murder and the reports of the women that they had heard cries for help. The police say that Ga si was probably robbed in the neighborhood and that he then killed himself.

undertake the relief of Kimberley. Sir Redvers Butler may. however. think that q direct advance into the Orange Free State will be the most efrcctual method of drawing the Boer forces away from Kimberley. and possibly also from Mafeking. As to the latter place. it would be almost impossible to send a sufficient force for it's relief til late in next month.
 The Duke of Connaught wanted to go to SOuth Africa, but Sir Rcdvers Butler did not care to have a royal duke at the head of one of his divisions. He put the matter to her majesty with singular tact and courtesy. When the queen was suggesting that it might be the duty of the duke to go to South Africa. Sir Redvers Butler replied, "Tour majesty has many generals but only three sons.' It would have been impossible to put his objection more gracefully.
 The letters from the war correspond ents at the Cape, which are now be- ginning to arrive, make it clear that the press censorship is extremely strict. The correspondents are not allowed to say a single word ia their telegrams as to the disposition of the British forces. It is not surprising, therefore, that we in England remain very much in the dark as to what is going on. In their letters the correspondents can speak more freely, as. by the time the letters reach England, the need for secrecy re- garding the facts they record is at an end A succession of these letters may be looked for almost day by day now; and since the teIegraphic service has been so vague and fragmentary, the letters, though about three weeks old, will be by no means out of date.
 It is now evident that only the exist ence of a little jealousy between the TransvaaI and the Free State saved England from a grave disaster. The ex- istence of this jealousy prevented the burghers from joining their forces un- der one commander, and invading Cape Colony in force, and determined the advance into Natal instead. By crossing the Drankensberg mountains they gained the advantage of fighting on ground suited to their tactics, but they found a force opposed to them strong enough greatly to impede their advance. If, however, instead of cross ing the Drakensberg as independent commandos, the combined BOer armies had crossed the Orange river they would have had Cape Colony al their mercy for a month.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Preliminary Report on Trusts Expect
 ed to Be Made in January.

Washington. Dec. At is expected the industrial commission will be ready to give a preliminary report to congress in January on the subject of trusts. This important feature of the commits sion's examination is looked upon with such interest that it is thought con gress will be anxious to get timely in formation in regard to prevailing con- ditions in the big industrial corpora tions of the country in order that defi- mite knowledge may be arrived at. It is likely that the coming session of con- gress will be flooded with various bills framed with a view to regulating the trusts, and some action is apt to be demanded by the country at large.
 The commission has not yet got down to the question of actually deciding up- on any recommendations it may make to congress, and it may be that it's pre- liminary report will consist almost en- tirely of 9 statement of facts in rela- tion to the testimony it has taken dur ing the past year.
