DR. Hill.
He in turn sent it forward to the pres
ident 1t will be for the latter to decide
whether LIS assurance is sufficient to
meet the needs of the case.
It is believed that if the powers can
get together themselves and through
commissioners arrange for certain COM
mon bases of compensation for certain
classes of outrageS, good progress can
be made toward final settlement. How
ever, If the attempt to secure unity of
action in this direction is no more sue
ceSsful than that directed to the evacu-
alton of Pekin, the United States gov
ernment will look to its own interests,
and appointing its own commissioners,
proceed to deal directly with the Chi
neSe commissioners.
1t is believed here that Ii Hung Chang
already has been advised by Prince
Ching of the urgent necessity for his at
tendance at Pel1in to initiate the negoti-
at1ons, hence his announced intention to
sail tomorrow from Shanghai for the
capital.
It was stated at the war department
this morning that no further orders had
gone forward to General Chaffee touch
ing withdrawal He is ready, however
and waits but the word from Washing
ton to begin his march seaward.
EMPEROR TAKES THE BLAME.
London, Sept. 13.-According to a dis
patch from Shanghai received today an
other imperial edict dated Tchow
September g. has been issued reurging
Lii Lung Chang to forthwith take the
viceregal seat of the province of Chi Lii
to Pekin, there to cooperate with Prince
Ching and Gen. Yung Lu in the re-es-
tablishment of peace. In his decree the
emperor assumes the responsibility for
the events which have occurred in Pelxin
and does not blame Prince Tuan or
Kang Vi.
The dispatch reiterates the assertion
that there is strenuous opposition in all
the foreign colonies to the acceptance of
Yung Lu as a peace negotiator.
The reports of the Chinese raids on the
Tonquin and Corean border are regard
ed as suggestive and as preparing Eur
ope and the United States for French
and japanese operations in the regions
wherein they are respectively interested,
similar to the operations of Russia in
Manchuria.
BRITAIN DECLINES TO LEAVE.
London, Sept 13.-Great Britain's re-
ply to the Russian proposition for the
evacuation of Pelxin was sent TODAY and
as the Associated Press forecasted Great
Britain declines to evacuate Pekin prior
to receiving satisfactory guarantees
from the Chinese government for the
fulhllment of certain conditions.
RUSSIAN QUARTERS AT TIEN TSIN
St Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The Noyoe
Vremya says quarters have already been
secured at Tien TSin for the Russian
troops leaving Pelin. The paper adds
that some detachments will march to
Taku and remain there but that the ma
iorfty will return to Port Arthur or
Tai-Lien-Wan for the winter.
A dispatch from Saratov says that the
dispatch of batteries of artillery and the
purchase of horses for the use of the
Russian army in the far east have been
countermanded.

DOM PAUL TO LEAVE.
Transyaal President Will Sail
for Europe Sep. "a.

Lorenzo Marques, Sept. 13.-President
Kruger and several Transvaal officials
are staying at the house of Mr.. G. Pott
the consul of the Netherlands here. 1t
is reported that they will sail for Europe
September "a on the German steamer
Herzog.
KRUGER MAY RETURN.
New York, Sept 13-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The flight of President Kruger to Lou
renZo Marques may enable Gen. BOtha
to open negotiations with Gen Butler
and bring the war to an end. President
Kruger, however, may return to Koma-
tipoort, or if he stays at Lourenzo Mar
QueS, Botha may continue the struggle,
dividing his force into small bands All
conclusions based upon Reuters an
nouneement of Krugers arrival in neu-
tral territory are premature, since the
door through which he is reported to
have retired from the Transvaal re-
mains open. If General French has oc-
cupied Barberton and the British col
unns are advancing toward Komati-
poort, the door may be closed within
week and Botha released from all obli-'
cation to keep his burghers in the field.
The closing scenes of the protracted
campaign tend to illustrate the truth
that without a neutral base the Beers
are helpless.
If the British government had allowed
President Kruger to purchase Delagoa
bay when he was anxious to do so, he
would not have a place of refuge in the
present emergency, nor would his pres
ence there be source of any uncertain
ty respecting the possibility of his re-
turn to the TranSvaal. The purchase of
that neutral base ten years ago would
probably have prevented the outbreak of
war, since the Beers have depended from
the outset on having the doors open for
their own gold to go out and for sup
plies to come in, and also upon having
a bridge for retreat when they were in
the last ditch.
The news, however, is still too inde-
ciSive to justify premature talk about a
last ditch. Butler is pressing in after
Botha, over the mountains, but has cap
tured abandoned stores rather than COM
mandoes in arms, and French is still a
long way from Komatipoort.
The official record of the operations
conducted by Generals Methuen, Barton
and Hildyard and the generals in the
Free State proves that the territories
occupied are swarming with gueriilas
and discontented Beers, who are un-
willing to abandon the struggle. This
is one of the worst features of the stu
ation- Resentments caused by the cam
paigyn are embittered, and opposition to
British rule will have to be stamped
out by strenuous and rigorous police
work during a long period.
The political effect of the reports of
TransVaal have been instantaneous.
Rumors of the dissolution of parliament
al an earlier date than previous reports
have indicated are already in the air.
London, Sept 13.-Lord Roberts re-
ports from Machadodorp under date of
French was heavily engaged that day
with the Beers in the hills west of Bar
berton and that General Hutton had
gone to French's support.

generally lies in the shadow of some
rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting
motionless for the approach of his
prey. He is provided with an odd
kind OF fin just over the mouth, and
this is held out in front of him TO give
warning of tht coming of something
to be swallowed. One taken alive was
experimental on and il was found
that If this projecting fin was touched
with stick, even though the stick did
not come near the mouth, the jaws
closed convulsively. This shows that
the fin by some provision of nature
closes the jaws as soon as II is
touched. The mouth is tremendous,
growing to the width of foot when
the whole fish is only three feet long.
One of these anglers was caught not
long since and though il was only 25
inches long, fish IS inches long was
found sticking in it's throat. The
angler is provided with peculiar teeth
