SOUTH AFRICAN WAR IS NEARING AN END Flight of Kruger Thought to be
 Significant. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS General Botha. Commander of the Boer Forces, Said to Have Made Over
 lures to Surrender-Report
 from Lord Roberts
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

London, September 12.-The flight of Pres ident Kruger from what is now designated as the Vaal River Colony, and his arrival last night at Lorenzo Marques, as cabled to the Associated Press this morning, is regarded here as indicative of an early end of the hostilities in South Africa. An other message from Lorenzo Marques says the Transvaal state officials accompanied President Kruger into Portuguese terri tory.
 Significant, although unconfirmed, is the statement that General Botha, the Boer commander-in-chief, is making overtures to surrender, and the question whether the burghers will now follow the usual course of beaten armies and lay down their arms or formally declare in favor of guerrilla warfare must be speedily settled.
 The British War Office has issued long report from Lord Roberts on the treatment of British prisoners of war at Pretoria, founded on the reports of the court of in- quiry
 Briefly, Lord Roberts declares that the treatment of the officers was fair, but that the food of the men was quite inadequate and of inferior quality.

FRENCH PLAN $
Troops May Camp Under Walls of the
 Imperial City

Paris, September 12.-Although it is true that France has accepted the principle of Russia's proposal for the evacuation of Pekin, the details are not yet determined. M. Picheon, the French Minister at Pekin, has been notified of his governments in- tentions and has been instructed to place himself in communication with the Russian Minister there, M. DeGiers, and consult with him as to the method and the time for the evacuation of the Chinese capital
 In admitting this the officials of the French Government were careful to explain to a representative of the Associated Press that the withdrawal of the troops will be confined to the city itself and that the army might camp under the very walls of Pekin in order that no military advantages se- cured be not abandoned should the future call for another conflict.
 The country between Peldn and Tien Tsin, 1t Is added, will not be surrendered by the foreign troops Further than this, in the acceptance of the general plan France will not go until M. Picheon reports, and undoubtedly a strong detachment of French troops will remain at Pekin to pro- tect the French legation and missions.
 Prince Ching is believed here to be at Pekin, and according to information re- ceived he has approached the representa- tives of two of the powers, but as they were not informed to the attitudes of their governments, their replies were con ditionai on the acquiescence of their gov ernments in the appointment of Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang to act as nego- tiators of peace terms

 "We have now got the base and substance of the greatest fair Alabama has ever held, and we shall now look out for the minor attractions" said President Falkner. 'Our displays of machinery, minerals, manufac- lures of all kinds, agricultural, timber, and so on, has never been and never will be equalled as the products of one State of the union Not only am I pleased, but greatly rejoice. Not only are we going to succeed, we are succeeding

MANY PERSONS INJURED

Milwaukee September 12.-Battered and damaged by the terrible gale that swept over Lake Michigan last night, the steam CT Flint No. 4, of the Peremarqueete line, arrived in port here this morning after one of the narrowest escapes from destruction ever experienced by a passenger steamer on the lake. Thirty of her passengers were more or less injured on the trip, while the following received serious injuries:
 w. Harker, Detroit
 Mrs. ". Harker.
 Maggie Eglenton, Detroit.
 Mrs. Martha Derham, North Landing.
 Conrad Hubbard. Monroe, Mich.
 Willie Gustie, Detroit.
 John H. Feaber, Toledo, O.
 None of the injuries will result fatally. Prayers of thanksgiving went up from the lips of every passenger when land was finally sighted. Probably no steamer ever went through a wilder night on the lake and survived. Almost every window in the cabin was one mass of broken timbers broken chairs and general debris.
 The life rafts were blown to pieces and hurled through the windows of the cabin. where were congragted all the passengers. Scarcely one escaped injury.
 The weather was not severe until o'clock, when the wind changed from southwest to northwest, putting the steam CT right in the teeth of the gale.

 AN EXAMPLE OF: :
 s-rs"i ONE-MAN POWER Lone Robber Holds Up a Fast
 Train. HE SECURED SMALL BOOTY Occurred Near Haigler, Neb., on the Burlington Route-Covered Train men With a Revolver and Looted Men Passengers
HE SECURED SMALL BOOTY

| Denver, Col, September 12-westbound | passenger train No. 3, on the Burlington 1 road, which arrived in Denver at 7:10
 o'clock this morning, was held up five | miles east of Haigler, Neb., at 1:40 o'clock l by lone masked robber, who secured | about $4OO in money, two diamond rings, one diamond stud, three gold watches and | other articles of minor value, all the prop | erty of passengers. No women passengers were molested.
 The lone robber, flourishing a. revolver, | made his way through the car and forced his victims to hand over their property, threatening to shoot if they did not comply. A good description of the road agent was secured and Burlington officials immediate y offered a reward of $1,O0O for his capture and conviction. The robber boarded the train at Benkle- | man, 2OS miles sourh of Denver, where a stop was made to cool off hot box and take on water. After the train left Benkle-
 man he made his way to the rear car, the | Chicago sleeper, and there covered Porter Bell and Brakeman Tomlinson with a re- volver and compelled them to start through the car drawing back the curtains from berths. The robber confined his operations 1 to the men and his orders were sharp and | to the point.
 And He "Due"
 "Dig up your purse," he commanded of B. w. Wilson of Sacramento, who was In the Chicago sleeper. Wilson dug up'' $2O in gold and d diamond ring worth s175. He
 had other money and his watch but the
 robber overlooked these.
 q had no time to think" said Wilson
 today. When the man ordered me tol de-
 liver my valuables I knew that he meant what he said. I simply handed him what
 was convenient and he went on. :. He had
 me covered with his revolver and was pre- ceded by the brakeman. who opened the curtains for him. There was comparatively
 no excitement. It was all over in a few minutes, and when the robbed dropped off
 the train in the dark, there were few who realized what had happened" |" Mrs. w. B. Tebbetus, wife of Alderman
 Tebbetts of this city, was a passenger on the train with her young son. They occu- pied berths in the Chicago car. "The brakeman drew back the curtains of my berth and the masked man looked
 in," she said. "He just glanced at me and said. We won't bother her Then he
 passed on. He robbed the men but treated all the women courteously and robbed | none of them." 5t.t Conductor PowerlesS .Tp~y ,,s .- 4 COHuuCtoi r' IiAOH, Who uiou SAAsii 6S of the sleepers, was powerless to prevent the robbery. Train Conductor Charles
 Bronson was in the smoking car and knew
 nothing about the affair until it was all
 over.
 'The robber covered me with a gun and
 made me open the berths for him. said
 Brakeman Tomlinson. "I walked ahead of
 him, knowing that If I made false move I
 would be shot, and as I opened each berth
 he called for the occupants valuables and
 got them without protest"
 A later estimate places the losses of the
 passengers at about $1000.

SELMA
Budget of News from the Central
 City

Selma, Ala September 12. -(Special) The building committee of the First Methodist church, after three meetings for the purpose, yesterday awarded the con- tract to s. w. Marshall 6 Co.,, of Cleve- land, Tenn, for erecting the new building The cost is to be a few hundred dollars over $25,000, and the building will stand on the present site of the church. The old church will be torn away in about two weeks.
 In short while bids will be advertised for the new Baptist church, the plans hay ing already been accepted and the architect is at work drawing up specifications The Baptist church is to cost about $30, coo and will be situated on the corner of Dallas and Lauderdale streets. This will put the four largest churches of the city within ai- most a stones throw of each other, and all will be handsome buildings. The Christian denomination will soon have sufficient funds hand to start preliminary work on their new church, and when they build Selma will not have a single church build- ing standing that was in existence twenty years ago.
 The Southern and B. s. and N. O. Rail- roads are not yet out of the courts Last night Sheriff Blackwell served upon the B. $. and N o. writ of injunction ssu- ing out of the chancery court commanding and enjoining them from further hinderins or interfering with the Southerns side track at the point known as Smiths cross ing This side track is about five feet lower than the main line of the Southern, and when the B. s. and N. o. hastily put in the crossing before day last week the rails extend above this side track and between two sections of cars places on the side track by the Southern to prevent cross- ing.
 The answer to the bill on a motion to dis solve the injunction will be made by the B. s. and N. O. in few days, and will then come up for hearing.
 The passing of the little mule car from Selma is close at hand Last night the City Council granted permission to the Selma Street and Suburban Railway Company to use certain streets of the city for an elee- trio line, and now the work will be rapidly pushed forward, the owners of the line saying that the cars will be running in ninety days. It is proposed to reorganze the company, the capital stock, which is now $50, 900, being increased to $S0,000 so as to secure $5O,00O for equipping the line. It will be a great day in Selma when the electric cars go whizzing past, and no doubt the event will be signalized by great demonstration.
