LONDON, September 1.-THE fol-
lowing dispatch has been received at
the war office from Lord Roberts:
"NfACHADODORP, Thursday, Sep
TENDER 13.-Kruger has fed to Lo-
renzo Marques and Botha has been
obliged to give over the command OF
the Boer army temporarily to VilJoen,
on account of i'll health. In conse-
quence of this / have circulated proc
lamation as follows:
The late President Kruger, with
Reitz and the Achieves OF the South
African republic, has crossed the Por-
tuguese frontier an. arrived at Lo-
reno Marques with the view of sail
ing for Europe at nm early date. hfu-
ger has formally resigned the position
which he held as president OF the South
African Republic. thus severing his
official connection with the Transvaal'
Kruger's action shows how hopeless IN
his opinion is the war which has now
been carried on for nearly a year and
his desertion of the Boer cause should
make clear to his fellow Burghers that
it is useless to continue the struggle
any longer.
g 1t is probably unknown to the IN
habitants of the Transvaal and Orange
River colony that nearly fifteen thou
sand of their fellow subjects are now
prisoners OF war, not one OF whom Will
be released until those now under arms
against US surrender unconditionaliy
The Burghers must be cognizant OF
the fact that no intervention In thtlr
behalf can come from any OF the great
powers, and, further. that the British
empire is determined to complete the
work which has already cost so many
lives, and carry to a conclusion the war
declared against her by the late gov
ernments of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, war to which there
can be only one ending.
Lord Roberts proclamation then
points out that with the exception OF
the small area which Gen. Botha is de-
tending, the war has degenerated into
irregular operations which must be
brought to an early conclusion and
concludes:
'sThe means I am compelled to adopt
are those which the customs Of wal
prescribe as applicable to suoh cases
They are rrrinous to the country and
entail endless suffering to the Burgh-
ers and their families, and the longer
this guerrilla warfare continues, the
more vigorously must they be en-
forced"

PHILIPPE, w. Va, September IA
fatal shooting ARRAY occurred this
morning about haif-past six o'clock,
at Barrysburg, six miles below Philippi.
John T. Lewis shot Mrs. Sam Quarles
and then committed suicide. Lewis
had been intimate with the Querles wo-
man for some time Last Monday the
Qaarles womaIls husband came to
Philippi and had Lewis arrested for un-
due intimacy with his wife, who is a
negress black as night. Lewis was a
white man.
Since that time the Quarles woman
has refused to have anything to do
with Lewis. This morning after being
on a drunk all night, Lewis met his
former mistress and wanted her to go
with him. She refused to go and he
pulled a revolver. AS he did so the
woman turned to run and he shot her
in the back of the neck. She fell and
is in a precarious condition.
Seeing what he had done Lewis
placed the revolver against his fore
head and fired twice. lie fell and be-
fore he .regained consciousness died.
Squire w. G. Keys held an inquest
and the verdict was death at his own
hand
That Lewis contemplated his act is
proven by the following letter, which
he wrote a few moments before:
please let my horse loose. He is at
the fence in the pasture at the preach
er's, below the big tree. Rod is at
Sans house. That is all | will say.
Lewis came here from Kentucky and
was employed as a blacksmith in the
mines. He was of heroic proportions
and when sober was easy to get on

Stocks-The stock market took on
much more decided tone to-day. 1ndi-
cations of liquidation gathered force
and in the late dealings the professional
traders fell upon the market and offered
prices down all around the room. They
met with considerable success in bring
ing out offerings at the decline and
when they covered on moderate scale
the rallies were so feeble that they
renewed the attack, making the close
of the market quite active and easy.
The coalers were the most notable suf-
| ferers, though not on the largest vol
ume of selling in the list. New Jersey
Central fell 3A points and Lackawanna
and Reading first preferred lost over
point each. But the weakness was
quite general and we'll distributed
through the list. Railroads and in
dustrials suffering alike. Sugar en-
| joyed a period of strength but closed a
point below last night. The steel
stocks were generally heavy and a

souri, Pacific, Southern Pacific, Burling-
