MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY
ON MESSENGER SERVICE

NEW YORK, August 2L-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from London
says:
Tho Marquis OF Londonderry. the new
Postmaster General. has brought down a
verttable hornets nest about the ears OF
the Government by the announcement OF
his determination to suppress the district
messenger service here in the metropolis.
In Liverpool. In Manchester. Leeds and
other big cities and towns.
The reason given by the Marquis for
this extraordinary move Is that the dis
trict messenger companies are encroach-
ing upon the prerogatives OF the State
which claims the monopoly of the convey
ance OF messages by letter and by wire.
In no civilized country is the postal and
teiegraph service more abominable than
In England. Neither telegraph nor post
otbce Ia open on Sunday. Blk years age
district messenger supply companies on
American lines were formed In London
and In leading provincial cities the sub
scrtbers wero provided with call boxes.
and as the messenger officas remained
open on Sunday and all night and insured
"A rapid and sure delivery OF letters. the
service has gradually become indispen-
sable 10 the public.
The messengers have become especially
indispensable since the nomination OF
Lord Londonderry to the Postmaster Gen.
esalshlp last spring. Appointed In order
20 stop his attacks upon the Government,
Lord Londonderry signaiiEed hls aAsump-

CHINESE CRUISER USES
THE AMERICAN FLAG

YOKOHAMA, Aug. Elm connection
with the stranding Of the United States
battleship Oregon on the Chinese coast
recently comes an authentic story that
Is characteristically American. AS the
story goes, the Chinese cruiser Haichi,
commanded by Captain Sab, thor
oughly westerniZed officer, on her way
from Taku to Chefu, described the Ore
gon in her perilous plight and offered
her valuable assistance, which was
most gratefully received by Captain
Wilde. The Haichi anchored close by
to be of further use II needed.
The next day Russian cruiser came
along. Her commander coming aboard
the Oregon eyed the Chinese vessel
with suspicion and asked what she was
doing there. On being told he shook his
head and said 1t would nevertheless be
his duty to take possession OF her.
Captain Wilde nodded and answered:
well, I'm bit embarrassed just now,
but there is ammunition aboard and
my guns are In excellent condition.
The next day. after the departure of
the Russian. Captain Wilde visited the
Haichi and suggested to Captain Sab
that as he was protecting some Ameri-
can refugees on board II might be well
for him to run up the American fiag
TO the fore. This was done and no
questions were asked by passing cru!s-
ers afterward.

A BIG CANADIAN
TRANSPORTATION SCHEME

NEW YORK. August 2i.-The projected
Cape Breton railway has become an as
sured fact through the granting OF the
necessary concessions by the Canadian
Government. When completed. this rail-
read will run from Hawkesbury across
the Straits of Canso to Lousburg, dis
tance of 100 miles, with n branch to Sgd
ney.
Ultimately this road will, 1t is said,
make link in the contemplated Allan
tic-Pacific Railway, together with the
Canada Atlantic, the Great Northern OF
Canada and other lines which are now
already built or in process of construc-
ton. From the terminal at Louisburg II
is intended to run fast steamships to Liv-
erpool. The distance between these two
cities is far less than between New York
and Liverpool, and as the Louisburg har-
Dor is the only one to remain open all the
year, this project has a great advantage
over others OF similar nature. The coun-
try Is rich in coal. the price of that fuel
there being only about half of what 1t is
here. and this would materially reduce
the cost of running fast steamboats,.
I The cost OF the railroad proper will
probably exceed IS, ,O0Q. while the bridge
across the Straits will cost 5000 900 more
The bridge will be built OF steel and will
be about three-quarters OF n mile long
Its construction will be difficult, as there
is a very strong current running through
the Straits. The road will be single track,
with seventy pound steel rails. Con-
struction will be commenced as soon as
the final survey Is completed. which will
probably be within the next six weeks.
/ The contract for the construction of the
road has been let to the Manhattan Con-
tracing Company. 1t il understood that
powerful financial interests are back OF
! this concern. as well as of the railroad
No definite information could be obtained
on this point, although 1t is believed that
the Vanderbilts are closely identified with
the project.
The road has been very literally subsi-
died. Besides receiving concessions for
a free right of way. the Government has
granted subsidies of So 200 per mile The
remainder of the cost of construction will
be provided by an issue OF bonds. The
read is capitalized Mt sl.0O0O00. Robert ].
Campbell of this city Is president and
Edmund Guerin, &C, of Montreal, Ia

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN
SUES VILLAGE RESTAURANT

CHICAGO, August 2l.-Sol Bloom, n
music publisher, has brought suit for
$4,000 damages against the Union Res
taurant and Hotel in Randolph for re-
fuslng to serve him while he was clad
III shirt waist and minus a coat.
This is said to be the first time the
shirt waist question has been brought
before court. Attorneys for the plain
tin contend that the defendant had no
right TO refuse to serve Bloom merely
because he wore the latest style or
mems garments.
The manager Of the restaurant, when
questioned regarding the refusal, said
that patrons wearing shirt waists would
only be served at tables adjoining the
main dining room. No person would
be permitted to enter the dining room
unless wearing'a coat.

POLICY Of
ROBERTS
His Proclamation To
Burghers.
ENGLISH OPINION OF IT.
Conflicting Views Of the British Pub
lie About a Drastic Mill
tary Measure.

NEW YORK, August 21.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
Lord Roberts proclamation in regard
TO the Transvaal burghers who take
the oath Of neutrality in the future has
been received with general approval
here. 1t is an undoubted fact that Lord
Roberts policy of so-called leniency has
been unpopular In Great Britain for
some time past and public opinion has
been urging that more severe measures
should be taken. The effect of the com
mander in chiefs proclamation VIII be
that all those burghers who have not
taken the oath of allegiance TO Queen
Victoria may be treated as prisoners
of war and removed II lom the country
It is undoubtedly unprecedented to re-
gard a civilian population of an inVad-
ed territory when unarmed as If they
we're the enemys troops but 1t is main
tained that in fact the Transvaal
burghers are all actual or potential
combatants and 1t is impossible TO
make distinctions between those in the
field and those on their farms. The
farmers therefore, must choose. They
must either Loyalty become British sub
jects or else they must be deemed to
have thrown in their lot with the
Queens enemies. If they take the oath
and violate II Lord Roberts threatens
them with Imprisonment or death and
the farms and buildings of all persons
aiding and abetting the Boer forces
Will be confiscated or destroyed
Even the opposition journals. which
dislike the war; do not, for the most
part, object to these drastic measures
pointing out, that in the interests of the
Beers themselves as well as the British
ii Is necessary that the campaign
