 It was also decided at yesterday after noon's meeting that each Elk constitute himself a committee of one to see to the entertainment of visiting Eiks, and in this connection it was also resolved that the Elks' lodge rooms be kept open for the en- tire week so that the visiting Elks would have good time during their visit to the city and the street fair.
 It was-~further decided that committee badges shall admit Elks wearing them to the main entrance, but all Elks will pay for admission to other attractions just as other people do.

THE STREET FAIR
 OPENS AT 1 O'CLOCK

the Birmingham Trades council, at its meeting yesterday afternoon, gave the street fair a cordial and hearty endorse ment, and the delegates from the various lodges connected with the Trades council promised to urge upon the same the merit of the street fair, and ask for liberal pat ronage of the same.

 At yesterday afternoons meeting the Elks did the clever thing by the Sisters of Charity and St. Vincent's hospital The Sisters presented the request that they be allowed to use the booths of the street fair after it was over with, for the fair for the benefit of St. Vincent's hospital. A resolu- tion was unanimously adopted to the ef- feet that the Elks with pleasure granted the request.
 An important rule was established by the Elks at yesterday afternoons meeting. It was decided that all questions that might arise during the course of the street fair on which there was disagreement, should be referred to the director general, c. E.

Arrived on Special Train
 from Chattanooga. SOON ON THE GROUND
"Queen," the Monster Elephant, Was Pleased With Her Mention in The Age-HeraId-Scene
 of Activity.

The Canton Carnival company, Frank W. Gaskill manager, which is to furnish the midway attractions for the Elks street fair this week. arrived over the Alabama Great Southern railroad yesterday alter noon at 3:30 o'clock on their special tram or eighteen cars The train pulled out of Chattanooga at 1O:30 a. m., covering the distance 14S miles, in five hours, very fast time for a show train. MT. Gaskill always has the movement of his train handled by the passenger department, insurlng last time and the best of service
 The management of the Carnival company say the finish of the festivities at Chatta- nooga was brilliant in every respect, and that this years carnival was the largest and best ever held. Associated Press dis patches and special delivery letters to the Elks here corroberate the statement of the snowman. Twenty thousand people passed through the midway gates at Chattanooga Saturday night, and Birmingham is expect ed to beat it.
 Crowds Saw Them Unload
 Fully thousand persons were on hand to see the midway train offsfrom Chattanooga and as many welcomed its arrivel here A still greater crowd was on the midway lot to which point the wagons, cages, animals and parephernalia were removed. The un- loading was a sight of a lifetime The ouickness of it was remarkable. Within three hours after arrival the train was cleared and the canvassmen had part of the scenery and several tents up. All will be in readiness on the midway by 10 o'clock this morning and the opening performance lt.Ao after the big parade. No one should miss this parade. In it on horseback and in car riages all the strange people from all parts of the world that are to take part in the midway performances will appear.
 "Oueen'' Was Pleased
 The first act of moment that took place was by Queen" the monster elephant No sooner had the train come to stop here than the grand old animal threw her trunk ont at the window of her car. In 1t she held a paper that she waved high in the air and then cast it in the direction of crowd of sight-seers. One of the Waldron Bros, comedians, who appear in the Ger man village on the Midway, picked the paper up. This pleased Queen" and she actually danced the "coo-chee coo-chee" then and there. The paper proved to be a copy of The Age-Herald containing the big "ad" of the Midway, in which Queen" was prominently mentioned. This brings up the question:: Gan elephants read?" Anyhow. Queen is by odds the smartest elephant knoNn, and is advertised as doing almost everything but talk. Mr Waldron, in ex- plaining Queens action as to the paper, says: She simply knows a good thing"

RUMORS OF THE MANILA OUTBREAK Are Seriously Discussed in the,
 Native Papers, MANY OF FIL|PINOS DID LEAVE With Intention ot Joining the
 Movement. REGENT ADDRESS iNEFFECTUAL It Seems as if the Peace Proposals Buencamino Are Not Meeting
 With Favor Among the
 Insurgents
RECENT ADDRESS lNEFFECIUAL

Manila, May 13-The latest rumor of an outbreak in Manila among the natives, which was in circulation last week, was seriously discussed by some of the local papers and attracted more general atten- tion than has usually been the with this sort of thing. As a matter of fact, many Filipinos did leave their American employers with the apparent intention of joining such movement. Their action taken in connection with the arrest of several natives for carrying concealed weapons and the dispersion of several suspicious gath erings gave color to the reports.
 The officials have been active in the mat ter, but are not inclined to think an up- rising will be attempted They believe the Fllipinos lacking in the necessary courage, especially in view of the fact that the na- tiyes feared to attempt the demonstration at athe time of General Lawton's funeral, although they had made careful prepara- tions and many insurgents had come to Manila for this express purpose.
 A paper found among the captured eff fleets of General Pantelon Garcia asserts that the United States congress has done nothing for the Filipnos, and that therefore all Filipinos who are working for Ameri- cans must leave their employers immedi- ately or suffer the penalty of treason.
 Trying to fncite outbreak
 One report is that the Filipino junta Is endearoring to incite an outbreak in order to show the civil commission that the in- surrection is still alive.
 It does not seem probable that the peace proposals which Senor Buencamino at one time a member of the so-called Filipino government has drawn up for submission CTS will have much weight with the Fili- pinos. Buencamino's reputar rion gained in former wars is that of man who hurries to get on the winning side. He was in dis favor with the Filipinos even before the collapse of their government owing to a widespread suspicion of disloyalty to his colleagues
 Last week General Macarthur received a large number of offcials-consuls officers and representatives of commercial bodies. To Lieutenant-ColonelC Crowder, his mili- tary secretary, he will assign many duties heretofore devolving upon the adjutant- general. This step is taken in view of the increasing importance of the post of gov- ernor-general. MacArthurs policy appears to involve considerable decentralization. He will give to his staff authority in mat ters of detail, and will devote himself largely to questions of policy.

ROBERTS, MARCH BRINGS NEW FAME

London, May l4.-4 a. m.-"The war IS practically over,'' says the Daily Chroni- cle's Kroonstad correspondent, and in less definite terms this is the view to be gath cred from all the correspondents. They picture the Boers as utterly demoranzeo and disheartened by Lord Roberts uneN- pectedly rapid advance and by ms iaciie turning of the carefully prepared positions of the Boers.
 There was practically no fighting ana there are no further details to give re- specting the occupation of Kroonstad The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says
 "The union jack was hoisted in the mar ket place by Mrs Lockhead, the American wife of a Scotchman. Most of the horses of the Boers are in a wretched condition, but President Kruger declares he will con- tinue the war"
 It appears that the Boers at Kroonstad had been reinforced by 5000 men from Ma tai last Friday and that altogether loooo with twenty guns trekked from Kroonstad on the approach of Lord Roberts.
 The Boers made an intellectual stand at Boschrand and had elaborate entrench- ments in front of Kroonstad, which offer ed great facilities for a rear guard action Their only anxiety, however, appears to have been to get away safely with all their guns and conveys, which again they have successfully accomplished.
 The few stores they were unable to carry away they burned.

 March Ranks With Kandaher
 Lord Roberts, after a march which is re- garded as worthy of being ranked with his famous march to Kandahar, has thus cov- cred another stage of his campaign, stage which, although successful and without the mistakes and misfortunes that character ized the earlier stages leaves the Boer forces quite intact, not having lost gun and having lost very few men. Experience has taught the critics to be chary of ac- cepting reports of Boer demoralization. The Times says:
 ''The signs point to military breakdown on the part of the Boers, but, after experi- ence of the past, we cannot accept the reports of demoralization without reserve. The game of war must be strictly played out to the end"
 Lindely, the new Free State capital, is 45 miles southeast of Kroonstad, half way to Bethlehem, and was probably selected as convenient rendezvous for the commandos now retiring before General Brabant and General Rundle in the Thaba N,.Chu dis trict. Brabant has occupied Hoepellok, half way on the road from Thaba N'Chu to Ladybrand.
 There is not word of news regarding General Buffers movements from the far western side. Nothing is known there fore of the passing of the Mafeking relief column z gi.l

NEGRO SHOOTS A WHITE MAN
 IN AN AUGUSTA STREET CAR

citement on the car, several women faint ing and others calling loudly for help.
 An officer who heard the shooting soon seized the murderer and hurried him to jailsz
 The police authorities took quick action, and in few minutes twenty-five officers with rifles were on guard at the jail. They were at their posts but a short time before a. mob of about seventy-five people had as- sembled. Fearing a lynching, two minis ters addressed the crowd, counseling mod eration.
 The crowd prevailed upon Dr. T. A. Plunkstt Ito enter the jail and ascertain if the prisoner was there. He reported in a few minutes that he was not. T, Divining the intention of the police, two separate mobs, it is said here tonight, boarded the two outgoing trains in order to catch the prisoner before he should reach a place of safety. The officers with their prisoner missed the Central of Georgia train for Savannah, and after waiting some at an out>of-the-way place, boarded the night train on the Georgia Railroad for Atlanta
 At 2 o'clock this morning a great many people are on the streets waiting for news of the lynching. as every body seems to think the quick death of the murderer a foregone conclusion. No tragedy in recent years has created such excitement.
 A meeting of citizens late tonight decided to call the attention of the city council to the fact, that the state law regarding the separate seating of whites and blacks was not being enforced.
 Whitney was a graduate of the Techno- logical School of Atlanta and last season played third base for the baseball team of the Techs.

Augusta. Ga May 13.-AleXander Whit nev. a man prominent socially, and person. ally very popular was shot and killed here at 7.30 tonight by a negro, William Wlllis Lieutenant Pinckney Steiner, who was wlth Whitney. and who tried to stop the negro mrrderous work, was slightly wounded in tbe hand To escape mob violence the mur- derer was started for Savannah, but miss ing the train, shift was made ana the man was started for Atlanta under charge of one deputy.
 The officers were frustrated, however iof when the train reached Groveton, httie station about 25 miles out, a mob qulckly entered the car and, seizing the negro started for the woods. At 1:3O this tMon- day) morning it was reported that the negro had been lynched, but adyices from Grodvetown are to the ef- feet that the mob has the prisoner in the woods The cause of the delay is only sur mise.
 In Georgia there is a state law which re- auires the street car companies to separte the whites from the blacks, but this has not of late been enforced here. Whitney and Steiner were returning from Summer vile A suburb, when two negroes got on
 
 the car. There were very few vacant seats and one of the negroes sat down in cross seat in the rear of the two men, while the other got in the row with Whitney and the lieutenant and sat down in Whitney's lap. Whitney told the negro just before he sat down that there was no roorl there, but no attention was paid, and in moment the negro was in the white mans lap. The negro's friend turned when he heard Whit ney's remark and said loudly: "Sit there any how"
 Whitney slapped the negro who had sought to force him out of his seat, with the back of his hand, and the fight was on. The negro in the front seat--Willis- who was not in the affair, quickly drew revolver and fired. The ball entered Whit ney's head just below the left eye. The young man was dead in few minutes. The negro fired another'shot at Lieutenant Pinckney, who had arisen and was reach ing for the assassin, but the ball scared it's way across the officers hand and embed- ded itself in the floor of the car.

 The Boers are now trekking to the Vaal river, where they are entrenched. General French encamped northeast of the town and dispatched force to cut the line. The project succeeded late at night but un- fortunately after the departure of the last train.
 Although the troops had marched sixteen miles, they were in excellent form on en- tering the town. Many arrests have been made chiefly of those who had maligned the British.

Camden, N. J., May 13.-Fire today, which broke out in the farmers market house at Fifth and Federal streets, com pletely destroyed that building, ten stores and about fifty small dwellings, causing a loss estimated at $125,OO0 and rendering homeless about 250 persons.
