WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The Boer
peace commissioners were received by
Secretary Hay yesterday. After the
interview the commissioners declined
to say anything as to what had hap
pened. The secretary of state, after
consulting with the president, was
more communicative and gave out a
statement in which he states that the
Boer delegates submitted at mach
length and with great energy and ell
oquence the merits of the controversy
in South Africa and the desire of the
Boer republics that the United States
should intervene in the interest of
peace and use its influence to that end
with the British government. Secre-
tary Hay, in reply, reviewed at length
the presidents attempt at Intervention
at the request of the two South African
republics, made through the United
States consul at Pretoria, last March.
to which Lord Salisbury had replied
that his government could not accept
the intervention of any power He
further said the president desired that
the war be brought to speedy close,
but having done his full duty he feels
that no course is open to him except to
persist in his policy of impartial neu-
trality.

The Giyfn Murder Case.

TUSCALOOSA, May a7.-Henry Fields,
colored mineN employed at Hooking,
is charged with the murder of Waddie
Edgar, also colored, who was shot and
killed in the depot at Givin during
trouble between "a party of white men
and another party of colored men,
who had come to Giviu for the purpose
of playing base ball. At the inquest
two witnesses said that they saw
Fields fire the fatal shot. Their testi-
mony was to the effect that the muir
derer hid behind the depot and ex-
tended his arm and hand that held the
gun around the corner. Fields has
been in the Hooking district but a
short time. and is said to be a much
travelled man, having been in every
mining camp of any consequence in
the south and west and has bad rep
utation. Fields has disappeared. 1t
is possible that a reward will be offered
for his capture.

Small Pox Impedes Work on Burlington
Road n Second Time.
Dies MONIES, May 24.-Small pox has
developed second time in the railroad
camps along the line of the double
tracking between Creston and Murray.
On the e1st tramp applied for work
at one of the camps just west of Alton.
He was given employment, cleaned up
and after eating hearty supper went
to bed. In the night he became very
sick. Fearing that he had small pox
or some other disease he was fired out
of the camp. He walked to Alton and
made his bed in box car with three
other tramps. The next day he was
examined by Alton physicians, who
pronounced his case small pox of the
most violent form. The fellow was
broken out badly and is now in a dan
gerous condition. Creston is greatly
alarmed. 1t was learned that the
tramp was in the yards there a long
time prior to his visit to the camp and
a large number were exposed. A pest
house was Immediately established at
Alton and the tramp taken there.
Every member of the railway camp
was exposed and it is feared progress
in the work will be greatly impeded.
This is the second time small pox has
broken out in these camps.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The United

in the suppression of the Boxers" in
China. Minister Conger has been in
structed by the state department to
inform the Chinese government that
this government expects it to stamp
out the society promptly and thorough
ly, and to provide proper guarantees
for the maintenance of peace and order
and the protection of the life and
property of Americans in China, all
now threatened by the operations of
the BOXERS" There is no indication
in the instructions as to the course
that will be pursued by the United
States in case the Chinese government
fails to observe the warning conveyed
in this communication. Mr.. Conger is
acting on parallel lines with the rep
resentatives of every European power
at the Chinese court, but has not
joined in any concert of action.

dents continue to describe the Dutch

point of view it lacks the perfection of
drill which Sir Redvers Butler ad-
mired after the battle of Spion Kop,
but it is effective in one respect, that

BREyITIES.

A dispatch says the United States

George Lewis, aged IL years, and
George Denison, aged 10 years, were
drowned few days ago in the
Floyd river, at Sioux City. The father
of Lewis was told that two boys were
drowned. He jumped into the water
and after diving several times brought
up the Denison lad. Then he got hold
of another boy and was Mortified to
find it was his own son.
Burlington dispatch: William PEN
rod, Jr., stabbed his father, William
Penrod, Sr., near the home of Sam
Harrington, a son-in-law of the elder
Penrod, just south of the Spring Creek
school house. The cut inflicted by
young Penrod on his father is in the
left breast and is about four inches
long. The blade of the knife struck a
rib, and this no doubt saved the mans
life.
James Davidson, of Mystic, was shot
and fatally wounded a few nights age
by VIM. Quinley, of Frankfort, KY,
at dance near Twin Mines. The
two men became engaged in quarrel,
or rather renewed an alteration
which they had had some time before
during which Quinley fred two shot
at Davidson, the last one resulting
fatally. The first shot passed over his
head. The gun which Quinley used
was of 3S-caliber, and the ball passed
through the left side, entering the
left lung. Quinley, in company with
his brother, went to Centerville and
gave himself up to the authorities, and
in default of $1,000 bonds was COM

Reichstag Passes the Measure Pertain
ing to American Beef.
BERLIN, May 24.-The Reichstag to-
day reported the meat bill by 1853 to
1913. AS it passed the Reiehstag, in
addition to prohibiting importation
of canned or sausage meat, the bill
provides that until December 81. 1908,
the importation of fresh meats shall
only be allowed in whole, or, in
certain cases, in half carcasses,
and that importation Of pre-
pared meat shall only be permitted
when it is proved to be innocuous,
which is regarded as being impossible
of proof in case of consignment OF
salt meat under four kilogrammes in
weight. The bill also provides that
after 1908, importation of meat shall
either be regulated by fresh legislation
or the above mentioned provisions re-
main in force.

Although the inhabitants OF the
earth are not perceptibly affected by
the wandering motion Of the North
Pole, yet it is phenomenon OF UNI
ceasing interest to, astronomers, and on
January 1st a new plan for investigat-
ing it went into effect. The motion,
(which is suggestive Of the wabbling
of top, is extremely slight when the
vast size of the earth is taken into
account. Since 1890 the North Pole
has never been more than 35 feet away
from the place it should occupy If the
earth's axis of revolution never varied
in direction. But the motion is err
ratio, and it's cause is obscure. The
new plan of observation provides four
observing stations, all close to the 39th
degree of north latitude, and all within
500 feet of the same parallel. These
are at Midzusawa, Japan; Carloforte,
Sardinia! Gaithersburg, Maryland and
Ukiah, California. Precisely similar
observations with exactly the same
kind of zenith telescopes will be made
at each station on carefully selected
stars. Any change in the direction Of
the pole reveals itself by shift Of the
stars.

LONDON, May 25.-The Associated
Press is able to say that no news from
Kruger. direct or indirect, has recently
been received by Salisbury or any de-
partment of the British government,
nor. it may be added, is there any
communication from him dealing with
the question of the cessation of hostil-
tiles expected by them in the imme-
date future. The proximity of peace,
according to the government point of
view. will remain matter of military
progress How soon the latter may
bring about the former is still too
suppositious for serious forecast on
the part of any government official.
The concensus of opinion, as CLEANED
by the Associated Press at the govern
ment office, is that the Boer delegates
will exhaust every effort in the United
States before Kruger sues directly,
though Salisbury himself does not be-
lieve the Beers will accomplish much
