END OF THE BOER WAR.

Though the fall of Johannesburg
and the abandonment Of Pretoria by
the Beers does not necessarily end
the war in the South African Repub-
lie. the general belief is that the con-
hict is about over.
The Boer forces are now said to
be disheartened and disintegrating.
1t was believed that they would stub
bOrnly contest every foot of ground,
and that when the British appeared
before Pretoria, if they actually pen
etrated, that far, the city would not
be taken except after n most stubborn
engagement. AS a matter Of fact,
Lord Roberts encountered little p
sition, and Pretoria. the capital. sur
rendered without firing 4 shot.
This would seem to show that the
Beers have really lost heart and see
no alternative but to quietly submit.
But it has been a memorable strug-
gle, taxing the ]our Of the Brit
ish Empire to the utmost.
With the fall of its capital city, the
Transvaaf reverts to the condition of
Il British dependency. AS to die in
tcntions of the British government
on this point there is no possible
room for doubt.
Lord Salisbury's latest after-dinner
speech strengthens what has been
said before by the premier and other
members of the government concern
ing British intentions toward the
Iransvaal and the Free State. 1t is

COMPLETION OF THE GREATER
SEABOARD AIR LINE,

The people Of North Carolina have
one distinguishing characteristic.
They believe in fair play, in an open
field. in competition. They are OPP
posed to monopoly in all its FORMS.
1t is because they stand for this doe
trine of fair-play that they have fol-
lowed with interest. sympathy and
support Messrs. Williams, ST. John
and others in their long and arduous
fight to carry through to completion
their plans to consolidate a through
short line from Richmond to Tampa.
Two years ago few people believed that
he Seaboard Air Line could main
tain itself in what seemed the I'M
equal fight between those who sought
to unite it with the Southern Railway
SYSTEM and those who were struggling
to extend the line and maintain it as
an independent system. The move
ment toward monopoly seemed to
have set in so strong hat it seemed
hardly probable that the Seaboard
could escape absorption. The history
of the contest has been one of the most
interesting in the history of railroad
warfare. The success of the Williams
syndicate has not only guaranteed
to the States Of Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida strong independent
lines. but it has shown that those who
fight against monopoly can win if
they nave the cooperation of those
who stand for competition in trans
portation as well as in trade.
The people Of Raleigh yesterday
morning gave a warm welcome TO Mr..
Williams. Mr.. ST. John and their as
sociates who spent three hours in the
city. The people of no city have been
so deeply Interested in the success of
the independent consolidation of Sea
! board roads as in Raleigh. for it was

THE BOXERS ARE SCATTERING,
The Government Might Have Captured Them
But It Made No Effort.
(By the Associated Press.)

Pekin. June 1.-Friday)-American
and other foreign guards numbering $40.
arrived here in the midst of the Dragon
Festival. The streets were unusually
crowded and, though the people were
greatly interested in the annual spectacle
no manifestation of hostility was made.
The presence of the guards has already
had a marked effect upon the bearing of
the Chinese toward foreigners. The ex-
element in the adjacent country has been
much allayed, but many Christian refu-
gees are still focking into the city. The
boxers are evidently going afeld. Unfor-
tunately no leaders of the boxers" have
been arrested, though their capture would
have been easy. All the Government has
done has been to occupy the scenes of the
disturbances, and no real repressiye
measures have been taken.
