WASHINGTON. May 21.-The State
Department has met the issue raised
by the coming to Washington of the
Boer delegation by declining to inter
fere in behalf of the South African re-
publics in the present struggle. In
view of this announced decision, all
questions as to the character of the
recognition to be extended to the dele
gates and the sufficiency of their Gre
dentials dropped at once into the back
ground.
The Boer representatives will be re-
ceived by the President at the White
House at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. Their visit to the Executive Man
sion was arranged for them by Secre-
tary Hay during their call at the State
Department this afternoon. The call,
it is understood, will be entirely unof-
fetal in character, as the ENJOYS have
not yet presented to the officials here
the credentials with which they are ac-
credited. Nor do they state positively
just when these credentials are to be
laid before this government. The en-
voys express their disinclination to
discuss what will be their future course
now that the United States government
has made known officially it's intention
not ~ intorfora in tho South African
dispute. They persist in maintaining
that it is improper to state publicly
what steps they are to take in antici-
patton of acquainting the officials of the
government with their intentions. En-
couraged by the many manifestations
of popular approval of their cause by
people throughout the United States,
they appear TO be laying much stress
on this as a possible factor in securing
some assistance to their cause, even
though the executive branch will not
interfere. Some embarrassment has
been caused to the ENJOYS by the ac-
ton taken in the public meeting at the
| Opera House last night in asking fol
subscriptions for the widows and or,
phans of the Beers. While not making
any comment on the incident them
selves, the envoys' friends say that in
a measure it probably puts in the back
ground the real object for which they
have come to this country, that of Sc
curing assistance from the government
TO stop the war. They understand the
: spirit in which the suggestions for aiG
were made, but were not consulted be
forehand in regard to the matter. The
aid which is being given through the
regular channels, they say, is heartily
appreciated.

Three susnects Held.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 21.-Three
negroes were arrested in Pittsburg last
night, suspected of being implicated in
the brutal murder of Prof. Roy Wilson
White, instructor in the University or
Pennsylvania, whose life was taken in
Philadelphia Saturday night.
AT No. 6 police station, Franktown
avenue, East End, last night, two ne
groes answering TO the description of
the alleged murderers applied for a
nights lodging. One had the left

were questioned closely, they admitted
that they both got in from Philadel-
phia a short time before, but claimed
to have left the city two weeks ago
having stopped there on their way from
Virginia, their home. They were
searched, and on one was found a $40
bill, a S. gold piece and s2.70 in change,
while the other was the possessor of 81
in silver. They said they had earned
this money by hard work.
In the statement of the murder re-
ceived by the officials here, a gold
watch was reported as having been the
only article missing from the dead
mans pocket. In the search of the
suspects no watch was found.
The men gave the names of William
Johnson and Harry Taylor.
At No. 3 police station. George Pove,
colored, was also arrested and detained
on the INT charge until the detectives
can make further investigation.

Prof. White.

MED striking the fatal blows, but ac-
cording to Superintendent Quirk he

partment. AS an instructor Prof.
White was extremely popular and his
untimely end is deeply mourned in
every department of the institution.
