MONEY FOR DEMOCRATs.t
National Campaign Managers Given
a Big Check by W. H. Dewey. :

Chicago. Aug. 13.-The Democratic
national campaign fund has been fat
tened by a big check, thanks to Colonel
W. H. Dewey of Nampa, Idaho, and
Pittsburg, Pa The exact size of the
contribution to the cause is not
known. The chief managers, in fact,
denied that there was a check, but the
joy throughout headquarters was 50
pronounced that the main fact-the ex-
istence OF the check-could not be kept
secret.
One person in a position to guess
closely, IL not actually to know, sug-
gested that a six figure guess would not
be far wrong; and that If the check was
not good for sum expressible only by
six figures it ought to be. He meant
500. 600.
Colonel Dewey is reputed to be almost
as well able to write big checks as Mr..
Clark. With Colonel J. NJ. Guffey, the
national committeeman of Pennysi-
vania, he was owner until recently of
one gold mine which paid dividends of
81, 900, 600 every thirty days for eight
years. He is still a heavy owner of
producing gold and copper mine proper

Bubonic Plague in London

Washington.-The Marine Hospital
Service has received the following tel
egram from Past Assistant Surgeon
Thomas, announcing the outbreak of
London rgeonGeneral, Marine
the bubonic plague in London:
Hospital, Washington: There have
been four cases of plague and two
deaths from plague in London. dag
nosis confirmed by archaeological ex-
animation. Do not think there will
be further spread.
(Signed) THOMAS"
The dispatch from Surgeon Thomas
gives no details as to the origin of
the cases, nor whether they were on
shipboard or within tn city itself.
The Marine Hospital Service authori-
ties say the instructions already given
to quarantine officials are ample, and
they express confidence that the dis
ease is not likely to reach this coun-
try. At the same time, the possibility
of danger is not overlooked, and quar-
antine officers will be watchful in the
enforcement of the regulations.

BOERS MUST SOON GIVE IN
Capture of Dewet and Olivier Will Mark
the End.

New York.-A dispatch to the Trib-
une from London says the war in
South Africa is clearly approaching an
end. Hunter has reported that he will
have fully 1000 prisoners among the
hills south of Bethlehem and that Oil
yier alone has succeeded in breaking
away toward Harrismith with 1000
men.
Forty thousand British troops ought
to be able to catch that commando
with its five guns. The Free State
forces now consist of two columns of
1000 men each under Dewet and Oil
vier several hundred miles apart, and
when these surrender, the Transvaal
Beers will not have any justification
for holding out, especially when the
campaign has become one of intoler-
able suffering on both sides. The
Beers are fighting in rags and bare
footed, and are suffering from hunger,
cold and every conceivable privation.
The British troops are also badly
clothed and fed owing to the wretched
work of the transport service.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt made
a speech against the government in
the House of Commons and displayed
a semblance of his old-time fighting
