Envoy Fischer Says 1t VIII End
when Last Man Is Killed.

New York, May 30.-"Even if the whole
country is taken and the leaders impris-
oned. the war will cease only for a time
and 1t will be renewed again, If need be,
until we get our liberty" was the dra-
matte utterance of Mr.. NJ. A. Fischer, one
OF the Boer ENJOYS, when he was shown
the Associated Press bulletin from Lon
don announcing the impending surrender
OF Pretoria.
MIR. Fischer declared that at the time
Of their departure from Pretoria three
months ago, there were two plans of ac-
lion which had been decided upon in the
event OF the approach OF the British to
Pretoria One was to concentrate all the
Beer forces inside the city and leave the
rest of the country open to tne British
until the fall of the city. The other
was to evacuate Pretoria after a slight
show Of resistance to enable supplies to be
collected and then the army was to De scat
tered into the mountains and enter upon a
guerilla warfare which would last until the
last man was killed.
Mr.. Fischer acknowledged that II Presi-
dent Kruger should tell the men of the
army to lay down their arms and surren-
der i'm a body they would do t. but he
claimed this would never be done by the
President.

TRAVESTY ON SOLEMNITY.

The Jubilee That Is Held at Beau
fort on Decoration Day.
Beaufort, s. c., May 30-The Both of May
is an occasion on which the population OF
Beaufort is temporarily increased by from
ten to fifteen thousand negroes, who flock
here to celebrate the Federal Decoration
Day. Negro military companies from varl-
Gus places in South Carolina and frequent
ly from Georgia come to share in the good
time. The day is made regular jublIee oc-
casion. Last year a very conserva tive esti-
mate placed the number of darkey visitors
at twelve thousand and to-day there are
probably not less than fourteen thousand
people here.
The steamer Planter, from Charleston
arrived last night and was crowded to her
utmost capacity. Formerly the soldiers
graves In the NATIONAL Cemetery were dec-
rated with refreshment stands, and negro
cakewalks were INDUCED in within
the grounds, but the government promptly
stopped such Dissertation when it was
brought to its attention. There are some
of our honored Confederate heroes VINO
sleep in the National Cemetery, and it is
hoped that their resting places will not be
disturbed nor an attempt made to insult
their memory by such a rabble. Even the
northern citizens of Beaufort are DISCUS ted
with such an occasion, and to their credit,
be it said, take no part in 1t. On the whole,
the day is a most disgusting one and our
citizens are glad when it is over.

BoER ENJOYS IN BOSTON.
Paid n Tribute to the Soldiers of the
United states.

United states.
Boston, May 30.-The ENJOYS from the
South African republics paid a tribute
to the memory of the soldiers of this
republic soon after their arrival here from
New York to-day by placing a wreath on
the soldiers monument on Boston Com
mons.
The ENJOYS were escorted by members
of the joint commission of the city gov
eminent, who had met them at Provi-
dence Taking carriages, all were driven
directly to Boston Common, the streets
through which they passed being lined
with cheering people.
The carriages drove to the foot of Sol
diers' hill The party alighted and pro-
ceeded 10 the soldiers monument, where
Mr.. Fischer, in behalf of the ENJOYS
placed a handsome wreath upon the base
of the shaft, accompanying the action by
a brief speech
After paying tribute to The deed and me r
deeds the speaker said that in the strug-
gle in South Africa they we're fighting for
the same principles and that sorrow was
now their portion, but in after years a
shaft would be erected typifying the strug-
gle and on each anniversary with re-
ioicing would the day be preserved.
From the monument the ENJOYS were es-
corted to the Parker House. Before the
state house the crowd thickened and
around the hotel the streets were nearly
blocked. Flags were waved and cheers
heartily given, continuing until the, ENJOYS
appeared on the balcony and addressed
the crow.

the New York delegation"
Some Other Eastern state.

Senator Lodge and other Republican
senators who are actively interested in
the choice of Vice President are predict
ing to-day that, in view of the diff
Guilty in selecting an available man from
New York to go upon the ticket with
Mckinley, the Empire State may be pass
ed over in favor of some other Eastern
state. At the present writing Senator
Lodge says Secretary Long seems to be
the most formidable and at the same time
the most generally available candidate in
sight With due respect for the many
advantages which Senator Fairbanks pos
sesses. Senator Lodge says he hardly
thinks the convention will go to the West
for the vice presidential nominee. In
view of the close personal relations ex-
listing between the President and Secre-
tary Long, 1t goes without saying that
such a selection would be entirely ac-
ceptable 10 the President. AS a vote
getter 1t is claimed that Secretary Long
would derive all the necessary strength
required from the record made by the
navy during his administration of that
branch of the service. 1t is true that he
was originally man of peace, but when
war was declared, it is claimed that the
navy department was aggressive, efficient
and successful throughout

He says
Since the recent act of the Legislature
the benefits Of the dlspensary, If there are
any, and the evils If there are any, are
confined to the county in which the dts
pensary is situated. I therefore favor al
lowing a county, on a petition of one-third
of Its voters. to vote on the question, dis
pensary' or no dispensary If major

unlawful to establish one in that county

and believe the dispensary should be run
with a view TO curtailing liquor drinking;
not with a view to making money.
