TYPHOID EPIDEMIC FEARED.
Thtrty-One Cases Reported In One Day
In Pittsburg-WaterM May BE
Impure.

PIrTssURG. March 2i.-A typhoid fever
epidemic is imminent in this city.
Thirty -one cases OF the disease were re-
ported from the bureau of health, the
largest number of cases ever reported in
one day. OF this number, 10 are from
the Twenty first ward This ward has
been a sufferer from typhoid for num-
Der of years, and usually leads all the
other wards in the number Of cases.
Up TO noon the following day, 20 cases
were reported.
There is a general feeling that the
large increase in the number of cases is
caused by impure water. For some time
the rivers have been high, and it is
thought that all the refuse from the
towns above the city is coming down
1t is filed with germs Of the disease.
The increase III the number of cases
has caused talk about when Che filtra-
ton plant will be started. AS is well
known all the money needed for this inn
provement has been provided and all
that is necessary is to advertise for the
bids
1t viii take several years to o mpletc
this plant, and the people will nave r
suffer III the meantime. 1t is SAID there
is a prospect OF the new reservoir being
completed next fall, and if it is, this vii
furnish some relief, as there will be G
larger supply of water, and it will lay il
the basins longer and settle.
The disease is not confined to any one
section of the city, but it is strange that
only one case is reported from the Soutl
Side district. The supply Of water from
this district comes from the Mononga
hela river. 1t is believed by some thai
the water in this river is purer than thu
Allegheny, as there are not SO many
towns along it.

WARNING TO Beers.
Engiand's Threat If Property
Is Wantonly Destroyed.
WILL Levy on PRIVATE PROPERTY.
That Is, III the Resources of the Trans
vaai Are Not ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ap-
parently 20 BE Administered as Crown
Colonies Butler May soon Move.

LONDON, March 2l.-While there is u
hull in the military operations, the pres
ent surroundings Of the war show inter-
esting developments. The colonial Of
flee has telegraphed to Cape Town the
text Of the proclamation concerning the
destruction of property. This will not
be published in London until after its
PRONUNCIATION ia South Africa; but it is
known that it will convey an intima-
ton that any wanton destruction Of
British property during the war will be
regarded as warranting a claim II COM
pensation and of justifying a lev upon
private property, should the resources
of the Transvaal prove inadequate.
In the house of commons parliament
tary secretary of the war office, George
Wyndham, announced that the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, Mr.. Cham
berlain, was about to issue proclama
ton on the subject of the alleged
threats Of the Beers to destroy Johannes
burg, and as to what the Beers may ex-
pect in the event of wanton destruction
of British property.
The fact that the proclamation Is is
sued by the colonial Office is regarded as
q significant indication that the repub-
lies will be administered as crown colo
MES. In this connection it is understood
that the leaders Of the opposition IN
parliament now admit that no other set
Element is possible since the republics
insist upon their demand for absolute
independence. In view OF this the eff
forts of the liberals will be. confined to
securing III the settlement the best treat
ment for the Dutch population, includ-
ing their acknowledgements.
There is no further information as to
the movements of Sir Alfred Miner. 1t
is regarded as certain, however, that he
has gone to Bloemfontein to arrange for
the temporary administration OF the
Free State.
Indications from Natal seem to show
that General Buffers forward move
1nent will not be long delayed.
The government has decided that
Major General Sir Frederick Darlington
shall command colonial force Of 5000,
including the $500 men Mr.. Chamber
lain asked from Australia.
They will be stationed on the northern
Transvaal border, to prevent Boer re-
treat or an incursion into Rhodesia.
A statement comes from Pretoria, adj
hitting that the Boer losses during the
war exceed 1000.
No fresh news mas been received from
Mafeking, but Pretoria dispatch. dated
Thursday March ID, asserts that Colonel
Plumer has not been able to advance
south of Lobatsi.

BLoEMFoNTEIN, March 21.-The Beers

LONDON, March 21.-The war Office

erts, dated Bloemfontein, Tuesday,
March 20, containing the following:

will not fight against us again will be
treated as traitor and shot
"The Bloemfontein people are afford
ing US every assistance in the matter of
hospital accommodations. We have
consequently been able to arrange for
800 beds.
"Thirty-three prisoners were taken at
Prieska, 200 stands of arms and some
supplies and explosives.

AN APRON WORTH 100000.
Worked by Mary, Queen Of Scots, While
Awaiting Her Doom at the Block.

There has recently come to light an
apron-probably the most exquisite ex-
ample of needlework extant-that busted
the fingers of the hapless Mary, Queen
OF Scots, during her long imprisonment,
and served to divert her mind from her
impending doom at the block. The fall
len soverign--all hope had gone-cen-
tired her interest upon it during the latter
mart of her long confinement, and created
the masterpiece of needlework. Just be-
fore her execution she secreted her priced
apron under the lfning of one OF her robes
which kept her treasure safe until re-
Gently the garment was ripped apart.
Its history has since been fully authent-
icated through letters written by the i'll
starred Queen to friendly ambassador
at Paris who struggled the materials out
of which it was wrought into her dun
geon. BY strange chance the apron
came into the possession ofan American
who has refused $4,000 for it, and has
also declined $1,000 for the privilege OF
unraveling a single stitch to learn its
secret, which is a mystery to all the ex
perts. Its owner has consented, however
to its production in large size in the june
Ladies' Home Journal.

The Fusion RaZZ edaZZle.

The fusion business is somewhat em-
broiled and embarrassed at the present
time. Down in South Dakota the popu-
lists stole the democratic candidate for
president and hitched him onto rem
nant of silver republicanism called
Towne. Then they repudiated the dem
ocratic fusion governor of Idaho. Here
in Fillmore county on Saturday last one
wing of the democracy literally swamped
the Steunenberg wing, while in Shoshone
county the pops stole Steunenberg con.
venton and knocked Steunie OH the
head.
In Washington, Silver Republican Du
bois announces that he has captured the
senatorial plum sure enough, while il
Idaho, Jim Hawley says he is climbing
the plum tree himself. Fusion has falleI
into hard lines, and the customer has {
