LONDON, Sept 19.-The Daily Telegraph

has been fought midway between Kaap
Muiden and Hectorspruit, resulting in
heavy Boer losses. The Beers removed
and now threaten to destroy the cogwheels
of locomotives used between Waterfall

the railway cannot be worked. They have

Komatipoort is a town on the frontier Of
the Transvaal, and on the railroad leading
from Pretoria to Portuguese territory 1t is
situated about fifty miles from Lourenzo
Marques. With the occupation of Komati-
poort the British will be able to cut off
all supplies reaching the Beers by railroad
from Portuguese territory.
Lord Roberts reports from Machadodorp,
under date of Monday. Sept. II. that few
minor skirmishes have taken place between
the British troops and the Beers. He adds
that General French has captured fifty
locomotives. in addition TO the forty-three
locomotives and other rolling stock which
he took when he occupied Barberton, Sept
Is. and that General Stephenson was ex-
pected TO occupy Helspruitt during the
afternoon of Sept IL.
A large part of the Rustenburg COM

ports that Commandant Botha has given
himself up. The London Mails CORE

that Lord Roberts is expected TO leave

In Lourenzo Marques has been accorded an
interview with Mr.. Kruger. The ex-presi-

atories in person, and his spokesman was
Mr.. Berdell. The Transvaal commissioner
OF police, an exile himself, remained in an
adjoining room. with the door wide open.
and the correspondent had only a passing
glimpse OF him sitting cross-legged in a
lounge chair. dressed in black and with his
eye covered by a shade. In reply to ques-

the miner is set independently of the price
of powder as a net return for a days labor

is charged for the powder.

NO CHANGE IN CONDITIONS.
President Not Called to Washington to
Meet an Emergency.

WASHINGTON, Sept. B.-It is said at
the State Department that no emergency
exists in connection with the Chinese mat
ter or any of the foreign relations of this
country which demands the presence Of
the President In Washington. However.
when President Mckinley left Washington
for Somerset and thence for Canton, 1t
was the understanding that he would make
periodical visits to Washington at inter-
walls Of a week or ten days. and his de-
parture from Canton to-day Is said to be
merely to keep one of these engagements.
A telegram received at the White House
this morning states that the President will
reach here at 7:44 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
1t Is positively stated that there has
been no change In the Chinese situation.
at least In it's diplomatic aspects. 1t Is
learned here that the discussion now pro-
ceeding in Berlin. OF an alleged American
proposition to limit the occupying forces
in China to 1000 in Peking, 1000 outside the
walls and 900 elsewhere, is not based upon
any plan suggested by the State Depart
ment here. II can be stated positively that
1T has not figured in the diplomatic nego-
tiations.

were lined with people. At the hotel Gov
ernor Roosevelt appeared on the balcony.
The crowd below entirely filled the street

in every direction. Governor Roosevelt was

The immense Columbia Garden was filed
in the evening. Governor Roosevelt spoke
for nearly three-quarters of an hour, in
part as follows:
Eight years ago we were tcld that the
capitalists, had grown rich: that the capi-
talist had prospered and that we should
down him. We got him down. The capi-
talists were ruined and the wage workers
came TO the verge of starvation That was
the effect of the action OF misguided men.
Now, gentlemen, the only way TO perma-
nently secure the well-being IN this coun-
try Is TO secure conditions that WIN. secure
the well-being of all. Something can be
done by legislation; much can be done by
associations. -.
II appeal to you for the sake of our In.
ternal well-being. for the sake Of the posi-
tion of this Nation in the face OF nations
of the world. that you stand by us In this
contest. We stand at the threshold OF
new century. The generation I'm the century
that has just closed has done a great work
and laid the foundation of our government
upon strong footing by the success oi
the civil war. We have conquered this
continent. We have established a govern
ment under which there has been sucf
prosperity, liberty and power as the worlc
has never before seen. / would ask YOU
10 support US in this contest in the firsr
place because, In so doing, you can preserve
the conditions OF material prosperity and
avert a panic OF disaster that would be
more widespread and more far-reaching
than any which this country has ever
known, and, furthermore because IL has
been given to us to be furnished a stand
ard bearer who has embodied in his policy
the principles which have led as forward
TO this position among the nations OF the
earth; who has embodied the broad doc
trine which has taught all the nations OF
the world that the flag of our Republic has
been hoisted with honor and shall never
be pulled down in dishonor.
Seven pickpockets and all-around conf
dence men, who have been following the
Roosevelt train. were arrested here to-
day.
