MINING EXPERT ON BOERS
Albert Holder Says They Will Leave
Nothing For British to Capture.


Nothing For British to Capture.
Albert II. Holder, +. G.. s., mining
engineer and special correspondent of
the Reuter- Telegraph company, who
was for many years inspector of pub
lie works in the South African Repub-
lie, is in Ottawa. Ont. from Dawson
City, to which place he went a year
ago in the interest of his company,
says the Chicago Times-Herald. He
predicts that the war in the Transvaal
will last at least two years and that
before giving. up Johannesburg the
Beers will destroy mining property
worth $1,000, 100000. Mr.. Holder is
an artillery officer, holding the rank of
major in the German army, and he
was an artillery instructor to the Beers
two years ago. He states that the
Beers had then 10 German officers, 40
French and 40 RussianS, who were all
well paid.
The Transvaalers." Mr.. Holder
said, ''have got the country thoroughly
fortified. Pretoria itself is defended
by two powerful forts. and there are
five lines of mines and enormous in
trenchments, ana the ground all around
and about the Transvaal capital is fur
rowed with mines of lyddite and other
high explosives. The siege of Pre-
toria will be another Metz. That
stronghold kept the German army,
numbering 100000. at bay for eight
months. The siege of Pretoria will
last much longer.
Johannesburg is not so well forti-
fed. but the last thing the Beers will
do before they-are entirely vanQuiShed
will be to raZe that city of the uit-
landers to the ground, to leave not n
building standing. They will also blow
up the mines and ruin the machinery
to avenge themselves upon the capt.
talists, who, they claim, have provok-
ed the war. This has for years been
the prearranged plan. and steps were
long ago taken to effectually carry it
out whenever the time arrived to com
pei that course"

Lord Lansdowne Visits Turner.

No one was admitted to Turner'S S
house in Queen Anne street unless spe-
cially invited. There was sort of lit
tie iron grille in the center of the front
door, through which the old house
keeper used to look and see who was
there. As an example of the rarity of
visitors the late Lord Lansdowne. who
was n great lover of art and n friend of
Turner's, told me that after receiving
no answers to his letters he resolved to
beard the lion in his den. He there
fore went and knocked at the door,
when a shock head appeared at the
iron grating. and its owner called out,
"Cats meat, | SUPPOSE
"Yes, cats meat" answered his
lordship and squeezed himself ill.,

BATTLE OF MANILA BAY.
Orderly Hickey COrrects Some Mis-
statements Regarding 1t.


William A Hickey, the San Fran
cisco boy who was an orderly to Ad-
miral Dewey at the battle of Manila
Bay, has arrived from Chariestown
navy yard and is n guest of his uncle.
Thomas ]. McBride of San Francisco.
During the great sea fight Hickey
was stationed at the speaking tube on
the after bridge OF the Olympia and
was kept busy sending orders TO vari-
Gus parts of the ship, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Shortly after
the news of the victory reached the
United States New York artist made

by accident happened to tally with
mine. but nevertheless we all indorsed
the sentiment credited to the imagi-
nary sailor who began smoking as soon
as the guns got through"
Mr.. Hickey has a handful of letters
from various parts of the United
States addressed to lin Hickey of
the Olympia" and filled with humor-
Gus and patriotic suggestions.
Il have seen many stories of the Ma
Mia bay affair." said he, and l have
yet to see one that properly quotes the
admirals order to begin the fight. The
words usually given are. 'Gridley. If
you are ready you may fire. What Ad
miral Dewey actually did say was,
'Gridley, you may ire now The fact
is that the range finder had instructed
the gunners, and for many minutes the
ship was in perfect readiness TO open
fire. The admiral knew that every
thing was ready"
Hickey left San Francisco on the
Olympia four years and seven months
ago and kept a diary of the vessels
long cruise of $4,000 miles and espe-
cially of the history making part of
the ships experience. He possesses

No More yitrorIycerin Powder.

The manufacture of nitroglycerin
powder for the use of the army will be
abandoned, and the army ordnance de-
partment will adopt pure soluble cot
ton powder similar to that used by the
navy. The decision for this change,
says The Army and Navy Journal, was
brought about by an accident which
recently occurred at Sandy Hook while
testing 4 inch gun and while using
the smokeless powder made for use in
s inch guns. but with the grains cut in
half. The charge on this occasion gave
n pressure of over 10000 pounds, which
exceeded the pressure gauge of the
gun. Several parts Of the breech mech

While in Search Of wife, whom He Had

Shot by Sheriff's SON.

Leavenworth. Kan. (SpeciaD A pc
culiarly distressing quadruple tragedy
took place at Farley, a small town
across the river in Missouri DR.. Stur-
ley Harrington, a physician, OF Farley,
drunk and imagining fancied wrongs,
killed James Wallace, his uncle, a
wealthy farmer; Mrs. VIM. Wallace
Harrington's mother-in-law, and J. p.
Dillingham;, sheriff OF Platte county.
who tried to arrest him. He was, in
turn, shot dead by Harry Dillingham;,
the sheriff's son.
Harrington's 12-year-old daughter
was forced witness of the different
stages OF the tragedy, the physician
taking her with him in his buggy as
ne went from place TO place on his
bloody errand.
Saturday night Harrington quarreled
with his wife and drove her from home,
threatening her life. He had had
words with James Wallace over line
fence, and had been on a prOtracted
spree. Mrs Harrington had not re-
turned home, and Harrington, repair
ing to Wallace's home, demanded to
know where she could he found Wal
lace professed to have no knowledge of
her whereabouts, whereat Harrington
twice, once in the head and once again
through the heart.
Leaving his victim as he lay, Har-
rington drove half mile to the home
of Mrs. William Wallace, and again de-
inanded news of his wife. Mrs. Wal
lace answered that she knew nothing
of Mrs. Harrington, and the physician
shot her dead before she could make
an outcry
Harrington drove Immediately to
Leavenworth. taking his little girl
with him. He purchased some cart
ridges for his revolver and 41-caliber
rife and ammunition for 1t. AS he re-
traced his steps the liquor and the
thoughts Of his crime apparently mad
dened him. Reaching Farley, he en-
tered William Ehee's general store and
demanded some money of Daniel Can
non, the clerk.
II have only three dollars and can
not let you have that" said Cannon.
Yes, you can, for will pay 1t back"
replied Harrington.
Cannon still refused, and Harrington
drew revolver and demanded the
money. The clerk turned over the
money and Harrington started to leave
the store. AS he did so Cannon seized
d IeNOlNeT anu Hreu one SnOJ at MIN.
He missed, and Harrington turning
quickly, emptied his revolver in the di-
rection of the crowd. None of the
shots took effect, but they sufficed to
keep the people at bay and Harrington
sauntered toward the door.
Sheriff Dillingham; and his posse had
been following Harrington closely, and
as the murderer emerged from the
store he stood face to face with his pur-
suers. Harrington raised his weapon
and fired at the sheriff, the ball enter
ing Dillingham's forehead Harring-
ton a moment later stepped over the
body of the dying sheriff and started
to run. He had gone but a few rods
when a shot from the revolver of Har-
ry Dillingham;, son of the sheriff,
brought him to the ground. Both
Sheriff Dillingham; and Harrington died
within few minutes.

HOW PEKIN WAS TAKEN.
Foreigners Were Attacked the Day II
fore Allies Entered.

Foreigners We're Attacked the Day Re
fore Allies Entered.
Pekin (By Cable) CONTRARY to the
agreement of the allied commanders,
the Russians advanced and occupied
the first door of Pekin's east gate early
Tuesday morning, but failed to force
the second door
At o'clock in the afternoon the
Americans and British entered the gate
near the legations and met with only
slight resistance. The Japanese met
more serious opposition at the upper
east gate all day. At midnight they
blew up the gate and entered the city.
Many Chinese were killed. The per-
sons in the legation were well, but
somewhat starved. Minister Conger
said:
"They tried to annihilate us the day
before you got in. Prince Ching, presi-
dent of the Tsung Ii Yamen, sent word
that his officers had received orders to
cease firing on us under pain OF death.
At o'clock in the evening OF the same
day the Chinese opened fire and this
continued. If the relieving column had
not arrived We must have succumbed.
The Americans lost Z marines killed
and Is wounded. One child died.
"The whole movement is purely a
governmental one. The Boxers are
only pretense, having no guns. The
confidential adviser of the Empress
was the leader Of the imperial troops
here.
"In II days over 1000 shells fell
among us. The American marines, un-
der Captain Myers, held position on
the wall throughout the siege. Upon
the allies passing the wall the Chinese
retreatcd. The imperial family left
four days ago for Shensi Province"
1t is estimated that the strength of
the Pekin garrison was 10000 men.
The United States legation was urged
to leave the city under an escort of
Chinese troops, but refused, fearing
treachery The Chinese in the Tartar
city made a stout resistance. After
shelling them the allies succeeded in
forcing the gate and entering the city
about noon on the 18th. The Ameri-
can loss in this action was the great
est. Captain Reilly, of the Fifth Ar
tillery, was killed.
In an interview Sir Claude McDon-
aid, the British Minister, said:
The Chinese broke every engage
ment with the foreign Ministers. There
is no truth In the story that the impe-
rial palace supplied the legations with
food. The palace sent vegetables, which
were refused. Our total losses during
the siege of the legations were 81 killed
and 100 wounded"
