THE QUEENS SPEECH.
What It Says About the South African
War and the Outrages In
China.

London, Aug. 9.-The queens speech
at the adjournment of parliament
yesterday stated that relations With
the powers of America and Europe
continued friendly. In speaking Of
The South African war the queen said
believing the continued independ
ence of the republics to be constant
danger to the peace of South Africa,
| authorize the annexation of the Free

races under an institution, which may
in time be developed so as to secure
equal rights and privileges in South
Africa"
Referring to China, the speech said
"The British and other legations at
Pekin have been Unexpectedly at
tackled by an insurgent mob, and it is
feared that many Of the inmates have
been murdered How far the Chinese
authorities are accompices in this
atrocious crime and whether the Brit
ish minister and his family are among
the victims are matters still in some
uncertainty. The utmost efforts will
be made to visit with punishment the
authors of this uneXampled crime"

FIRE IN A MINE SHAFT.


Butte, Mont, Aug 9.-The shaft
house of the Parrot mine was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon
entailing loss of 100000, upon
which there is about 100000 insur-
ance The fire started in the car
penter shop of the mine and the
flames were soon communicated to
the shaft house adjoining. Before
warning could be gotten to the min
ers working below the fire had com
plete possession of the shaft. The
mine is 1000 feet deep and employs
about 200 men on a shift. These
miners were rescued through the
levels of an adjoining mine. No lives
were lost, though several of the men
engaged in fighting the flames were
seriously burned. The fine holster
engines and boilers were destroyed
and a large portion of the shaft tim
bering was burned out and the shaft
itself, it is feared, badly damaged.

The Ant,-Imperialist Convention.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 13.-Dele-
gates to the Anti-lmperialist league
meeting, which will be held in this
city beginning Wednesday, began ar
irving yesterday evening. Secretary
Mize says the congress will be made
up of persons who are absolutely in
dependent so far as voting is con-
cerned. The first session of the con-
vention of the league will be held
Wednesday. The independents, those
who favor the placing of a third
ticket in the field, will hold national
convention here Tuesday. 1t seems
TO be the belief that the independents
will place a third ticket in the field
and that the anti-imperialists will
sdopt q resolution urging each dele
gate to do all in his power to secure
the defeat of Mckinley.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.


New York, Aug. 13.-Nine persons
who hurriedly sought shelter under
some trees and bushes in the woods
in the Bronx section during the storm
yesterday evening were struck by the
same fash of lightning. The persons
injured were: James Brown, Hun
garian tailor of this city, his wife and
five children and Bertha Leschowitz
and Bertha Silverman, neighbors Of
the Browns. All the injured persons
were taken to Fordham hospital. At
late hour last night the attending
physicians said they thought Mrs.
Brown, two of her children and
Bertha Silverman could not possibly
live. The Silverman girl was the
worst injured of all. OF Bertha Les
chowitz the physicians said she would
either die or become hopelessly in.
sane.
The Brown family decided early In
the week to spend Saturday in lit
tie picnic of their own and selected
"The Woods" as desirable place.
They invited the Leschowitz and Sill
verman girls to 60 with them. Mr..
Brown and his party had just sat
down to their lunch when it began to
rain and blow. They were all under
a large oak tree, when the father told
them to seek shelter some place else
as he was afraid of lightning hitting
the tree. Part of them ran down a
little pathway under bluff and
crouched under bush, and the others
scampered to some sheltering bushes
on top Of the bluff. They had hardly
hidden themselves when there was
binding flash and crash. Three
children on top of the bluff were
hurled into the street below and lay
there unconscious. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown and Bertha Leschowitz were
thrown Is feet and were also rem
dered unconscious. Children whom
they held in their arms strangely es-
capped with comparatively light in
juries.

Liverpool, Aug. 13.-Reports from
Nigeria, where the scientific expedi-
ton recently sent out by the Liver
pool School of Tropical Medicine is
operating, show that the parasite
which causes elephantiasis has been
discovered in mosquitoes. The leaders
of the expedition believe that the ex-
periments which are now being car
ried on to stamp out malaria by pre-
venting mosquito incubation can be
applied to elephantiasis, which is so
prevalent among natives of tropical
countries.

Washington, Aug. 13.-lndlcations
OF the desire of China for a peaceful
settlement of her present difficulties
have been multiplying for several
days, Official evidence of that desire
was presented to the department of
state yesterday. II was in the form
of an edict promulgated by the EN-
peror, Kwang llsu, appointing Earl

tiary to negotiate with the powers for
an immediate cessation of hostill.
ties" pending solution of the prob
lens which have grown out of the
anti-foreign uprising in the empire.
Earl Ii is to act directly for the em-
peror and fpir inference is that
whatever terms of settlement he may
reach with the powers will be APP
proved by the imperial government.
During the day only one dispatch
that was made public reached any of
the government departments from
China. A belated message from Min
lister Conger was transmitted to the
war department by Gen. Chaffee. 1t
expressed simply his ability to "hold
on until Gen, Chaffee should come
TO his relief. All the power of the
government will be exerted to get
| that relief to him and the other inn
prisohed legationers at the earliest
| possible moment
Minister WI was an early caller at
the department of state. Shortly aft
err nine o'clock he made an engage
ment with Acting Secretary of State
Adee to meet him at the department
at 1880. Promptly at that hour the
minister's automobile stopped at the
west entrance to the department and
Minister WI alighted and hurried to
Secretary Adee's Office. He presented
to Mr.. Adee u copy Of the imperial
edict which he had received Satur-
day night 1t had been transmitted
to him in the Chinese foreign Office
cipher and its translation and prepa-
ration for submission to the depart
ment of state had occupied much of
the night

eminent will consent off hand to open
negotiations with the distinguished
viceroy. The demands of this gov
ernment upon China have been made
plainly and without equiyocaton
. They cannot be misunderstood. As
: Stunning that the Chinese government
is acting in good faith, the de.

IN what conditions; that the minis
tiers be placed in free communication
with their governments, firing upon
the legations cease and all dangers
to their lives and liberty be removed;
that the imperial authorities place
themselves in communication with
the relief expedition, so that the le-
gationers may be liberated, foreign
ers protected and order restored.
Until these demands have been ac-
coded to it is regarded as highly i'm
probable that the government of the
United States or any of the European
governments, all of which have made
practically the same demands upon
China, will consent to cessation of
hostile demonstrations" which are be-
ing conducted, at least SO far as this
government is concerned, with the
sole purpose of succorng the be-
Sieged legations in the Chinese capital.
No reply-at least, no direct reply
has been received yet to the memo
randum transmitted to the Chinese
government through Minister WI by
the department of state 1t may be
the imperative demands contained in
the memorandum induced the prom
ulgation of the edict delivered to
this government yesterday, but the
edict in itself is not accepted as a re-
ply to those demands.
The attitude assumed by the diplo-
matte representatives of European
governments in Washington is suffi-
cient evidence that the powers will
press vigorously the demands which
they have made upon the Chinese gov
eminent. To Pekin the allied armies
will go, it is declared frankly, unless
every demand is acceded to and all
possible reparation is made by China
for the outrages already committed.
Last night Secretary Adee, by di-
rection of President Mckinley, pre-
scented to Minister WI for transmits

Goodland, Kan, Aug. 13.-Wben the
coroner's inquest was ended Saturday
the bodies of the two Union Pacific
train robbers were placed in big
box and carted in a farm wagon TO
the city cemetery. There were no
funeral services or ceremonies of any
kind. No minister or priest came
to pray over the dead. The horses
trotted out on the dusty prairie road
to the cemetery. The box with cover
unfastened was lowered into a grave
dug in the morning, and in 80 minutes
the rude hearse was back in town.
