BAD NEWS FROM FREE STATE
Severe Fighting Ecportcd-BritishD De-
fcatcd Near RoodcvaI.

LONDON, juno l3.-Bad news from
the Free State Ooz"S ont slowly from the
war Office. The line of communications
was cut on "Wednesday, the day after
Lord Roberts entered Pretoria, but the
fact was not admitted until Saturday,
nor the truth revealed until yesterday.
There has been severe tightingat Roodc-
val Details We're guarding thc railway
where the Bocr raiders struck the line
of communications and their casualties
were severe, about 100 being killed and
wounded.
MCthuen made n forced march by rail
way and headed for Hrilbron to join
General Colvillc. but was fighting with
a Bocr force on Thursday within 10
miles of his destination. Whether this
force was returning from RDodeville
with its prisoners, or was all auxiliary
column lowering about Heilbron is un-
certain.
Lack of news from Lindley causes ap-
prehension III the military circles Lord
Roberts took tho risk of having his line
broken when he pushed on to Pretoria
by forced marches AID the results OBJ
tanned have justified his course.
The Free State forces have delivered
ali effective cOuntcrStrOke and have
taken over 1000 prisoners at LindIcy
and Roodeval. They have thrown the
British campaign into disorder by their
brilliant strategy and have learned by
experience how much mischief they can
cause by harraSSing the British line of
communications

Hay Hitchcock, Long and Gage and

voted largely to q discussion of tho

before the cabinet dispatches from Min.

been entered upon of pursuing measures
for the protection of the lives and prop
erty OF American citizens and acting III.
deDcndcntly so far as possible.
1t may be that i'll the accomplishment
of this result the forces of the powers

ton of all foreign residents in the dis
turbcd districts, but this Is to be- the ex-
tent of the American activity. 1t is to
be confined solely to the protection and
safeguarding Of our interests and those
of our citizens. The Chinese govern.
mcnt will be looked TO under the general
laws of comfy of nations TO restore or.

return N6,55s fer taxation, an increase
over last year of $l3057.
Only two of the fourteen districts in
the county show a decrease, and this 10
very slight Tire largest increase is In the
Triton district which returns over one
fourth the taxable property of the county.
This district shows an increase over 1893
OF SlS9,32J. and has shown a heavy in
crease every year for the past ten The
defaulters in he county dropped from $50
in 1899 TO 200 this year
Crops in this section are an average ex-
cept cotton, which will not yield over half
crop, being badly damaged by excessive
rains.
Peach shipments fer this season are over
with here, except few express shipments
Triton has shipped a total of about eighty
carloads, including those going by express
Estimates early in the season placed the
crop at fifty carloads. but it far exceeded
this. Growers are not complaining at re-
turns as whole, for good prices were
received for all fruit that reached the mar
ket in saleable condition. The heavy and
continued rains caused the fruit TO rot pre-
maturely, and several carloads were lost
en- route from this. Had IL not been for
the excessive rains our growers would
have netted large sums, as their crops
were very fine. But, Notwithstanding
that many lost half their crop after ii was
shipped returns from other shipments
were sufficient TO protect them from loss,
and to even afford them a small profit.

Never Knew what Happened, for He
WINS Blown to Pieces.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Waterbury, Conn, July 3o.-Lying in
sewer trench to-day was an Innocent
looking stick of dynamite, left carelessly
by some workman. Joseph Phelan. IA
years old, brother of John Phelan, the
lawyer, came along idly and spied II.
He had no idea it was anything more
than 1t appeared to be-a harmless stick
which wasn't wood and apparently was
neither iron nor stone. 1t was just such
a looking object as was calculated to
arouse the curiosity of a small boy of an
inquiring turn of mind.
Joseph picked 1t up, weighed 1t in his
hand turned it over and over and fell TO
wondering. Ii wasn't a Roman candle.
He remembered his last Fourth of July
too well not to know that Just what II
was Joseph didn't know, and he was
bound to find out if he didn't get home
to supper.
He pulled out his knife and tried to
white it, but the stick was too hard
and it dulled the knife blade. He tried
lighted match, but the stick wouldn't
burn.
He thought of putting ID on the trolley
car tracks, but the nearest car line was
four blocks away, and he couldn't wait
to walk that far. He looked around for
big stone, and Wnen ne 1ound one ne
was happy
He laid the dynamite on the big stone
and then with a smaller stone he began
- pound it. At the first blow there was
terrific explosion. Windows were sha :
| tered three blocks away. Men came run
nirg, but all they saw at first was great
| rent in the pavement ana stones and
earth scattered around
Then they saw q boys hat with the
