HARRISMITH SURRENDERED.
London, August 7.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war Office under date Of
Pretoria, August 8, as follows: "Harrl-
smith surrendered on August 4. The
neighboring country seems quiet. Kitch-
ener is with his forces south Of the Vaal
river. He was joined yesterday by a
and the Canadian regiment. The Beers
attacked the garrison on Glands river
on the morning of August 4. Informa-
ton was sent to Darlington, who was
on his way to the Glands river Ian
Hamilton, who reached Rustenberg
yesterday. reports hearing heavy firing
in the direction Of Glands river To. day
the firing seems more distant, which
looks as If the Glands river garrison
has been relieved and was retiring to-
ward Zeerust."
TO ANNEX THE TRANsvAAL.
London, August mr. Joseph Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the colo
MES, in reply to question in the house
Of commons to-day, said that he al
ready had made himself acquainted
with the views of Canada and Austria
liza in regard to the main points Of the
South African settlement. He admitted
that they were in accord with her
majesty as to the necessity for the an
nexation Of the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal to the empire, and the
establishment Of government sup
ported by military force, with the ulti-
mate extension Of representative self
government.

hood.
"Under these circumstances, If the tie
connecting the. Albemarle claims TO the
said pine post is correctly given as to
course and distance in the notice Of the
application for patent, such tie will be
held sufficient for the purpose of such
notice, and If the notice is otherwise
correct and sufficient the same will be
held to be good as whole"
The secretary's decision is just and
proper: it is also in accordance with
law and precedent; the Albemarle
owners will not be put to the expense
of more money and a loss in time in be-
ing compelled to readvertise their no.
tees of application for patent, as the
surveyor general wanted to compel
them to do on a very notional decision,
and one not based upon knowledge or
experience. They will, however, be re-
quired under instructions from the gen.
eral land office to retrace their lines of
survey to prove to the surveyor gener-
al their contention, that the pine post
and not the mineral monument, incor-
rectly placed there by former survey,
is the true section corner.
Surveyor General Vance may, by sim
pie technicalities and official quibbling,
give them some more trouble, but ii is
hoped for the good of the mining indus
try of the territory that he will refrain
from doing so, as 1T is quite important
not only to mine owners, but also to
the. commonwealth of New Mexico, as
well as to the government Of the United
States, that every proper facility should
be extended to mine owners and miners
to procure patents, so that valuable i'm
provements might be made, mines de-
titles secured and taxes paid.

him down, but failed. For the time

afterwards was very thankful for he

Washington, March 1.-The repub
leans won the battle on the Porto
Rican tariff bill yesterday by a vote Of
172 to 16l. Congressman Powers OF
Vermont voted for the bill as amend
ed amid the cheers of the republicans
and ieers of the democrats.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal the clerk began reading the bill
for amendment under the five minute
rule When section 3 was reached, MIR.
Payne, chairman of the ways aod means
committee, offered the following substi-
tute for that section:
Section 3.-That on and after the pas
| sage of this act all merchandise coming
| into the United States from Porto Rico
and coming into Porto Rico from the
United States shall be entered ut the sew
eral ports of entry upon payment of 10
per cent of the duties which are required
to be levied, collected and paid upon like
articles of merchandise imported from
foreign countries, and, in addition thereto,
upon articles of merchandise Of Porto
Rican manufacture coming into the Unit
a
ton or sale upon payment of a tax equal
to the internal revenue tax imposed in
the United States upon the like articles
of merchandise Of domestic manufacture
such tax to be paid by Internal revenue
stamps or stamps to be purchased and
provided by the commissioner of internal
revenue at or most convenient to the port
of entry of said merchandise in the Unit
ed States and to be effected under such
regulations as the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, with the approval of the
secretary of the treasury, shall prescribe,
and on all articles of merchandise of
United States manufacture coming into
Porto Rico. in addition TO the duty above
provided in payment of tax equal in !
rate and amount to the internal revenue |
tax imposed in Porto Rico upon like ar |
ticles of Porto Rican manufacture
MIR. Payne explained that the slbsti. !
tutc did two thingsit reduced the duty !
from % to 10 per cent, and it also re- |
moved some confusion regarding double /
taxation. Mr.. Payne said he still adj |
lered to the opinion that % per cent
would lie better than 10, because it would
'aiNe more revenue but Is per cent was
better than nothing. In answer to
question as to how much the bill as
'mended would raise. Mr.. Payne said the
for the original bill was 81 ,7OO.-
'0o. If that estimate was corsect. the
mendcd bill would raise about ISL ,25O,-
WOO per Annum.
