ALLIANCE IS DENIED.

Secretary Hays Answer to Macrum Is
Given to the House.
The President sent to the House OF
Representatives Wednesday the answer
of the Secretary of State to the resolu-
ton presented by Representative Wheel
er Of Kentucky calling for information
as to whether Charles Z. Macrum had in
formed the State Department that his
official mail had been opened by the Brit
ish consul at Durham, and, if SO, what
steps, if any, had been taken in relation
thereto, and what truth there was in
Macrum's charge that secret alliance
existed between the United States and
Great Britain. The answer, at the Pres
ident's suggestion, was made more com
prehensive by the insertion of the refer
ence to the fact that all Of Mr.. Macrum's
Official mail had been received at the
State Department unopened, and that
Mr.. Macrum had not, after he left South
Africa, communicated to the department
any complaint about the opening Of his
mail.
The State Department said that in
quiries set on foot Immediately after the
publication Of Macrum's first statement
developed the fact that the British Gov
ernment had no knowledge of any inter-
ference with the correspondence Of the
United States consulate at Pretoria, and
the additional fact that il any such in
reference had taken place it was con-
trary to instructions. The answer of
the State Department states positively
that no secret alliance or understanding
exists between the United States and
Great Britain. 1t is signed by Secretary

break, the mounted infantry driving the
Boer rear guard up the river toward the
main body, while another body of mount
ed infantry maneuvered On the right,
front and flank of the Beers. The Brit
ish main body advanced to outflank the
Beers laager on the north bank of the
river. Gen. Kelly-kenny, having seized
two drifts, found the Beers strongly in
closed and ordered an attack, with the
Highland brigade on the left and Gen.
Knox's brigade on the center and right,
while Gen. Smith-Dorrien's brigade cross
ed the river and advanced along the
north bank.
On both the north and south banks the
ground is level and the advance across
this was deadly and the British losses
were heavy. The British guns shelled
the laager vigorously and the Beers con-
fessed to a loss of over 500 men. The
terrific shelling was resumed Monday,
when Gen. Cronje asked for an armistice.
The shelling was continued Tuesday.
A London correspondent says that the
withdrawal of the Beers before the Brit
ish advance in both the western and east
ern campaigns has been so general and
precipitate that it seems to be no longer
possible to account for it by the suppOsi-
ton that the movements constitute new
and well-planned maneuver. Gen. Lord
Roberts, by rapid marches, has advanced
unopposed more than a third of the way
to Bloemfontein. Gen. Methuen has oc
cupied Kimberley and restored railway
communication between that place and
Cape Town. Gen. French is still pursu-
ing the enemy to the northeast. 1t is per-
sistently reported that Gen. Kitchener
has Commandant Cronje's army sur
rounded.
1t is reported that Col. Plumer. who is
moving to the relief of Mafeking, sur
prised the Beers in a night attack at
Crocodile Pools. The Beers were in
trenched on a steep, thorny ridge. While
struggling through the barbed-wire en-
tanglemcnts the British alarmed BOer
dogs. The barking of the dogs brought
the Beers out, and they began firing. The
British then made a bayonet charge,
when the Beers exploded dynamite mines,
and the British were forced to retreat.

Trade and Industry

The United States Government uses
nearly 10000 new typewriters each year.
A firm in London purchases each year
over 100000 bottles, valued ut a5out
$335 900, recovered from garbage and dust
yards.
,fhe Brewers union at Cincinnati has
passed a resolution subjecting to fine
any member who patronizes a non-u ion
barber shop.
.he usual output from 100 gold m:nes
in the immediate vicinity of Johan les-
burg is fifteen tons Of gold q month.
The annual consumption Of cottor by
mills in Russia has been about 2OG. DOC
tons for several years, and the induatry
is growing steadily In Importance theae.
Since the general lockout of the granite
cutters by the New England Grxnite
Manufacturers Association the Gr&nite
Cutters National Union has paid of a
debt Of 100000.
One cause assigned for the high price
of paper is that mills across the Atlantic
produced an unsatisfactory product last
year, making an unprecedented demand
n Europe for American paper.

ion dollars out Of his ''gold cure" for the
liquor habit, died at Los Angeles, Cal,
of heart disease, Wednesday morning.
He had severe cold and while going to

failure. He soon recovered and made

could be summoned, expired. DIR. Kelley
left no children.
Leslie E. Kelley, NJ. D.. LII. D., was
born in small village in the interior of

and early in life removed to Michigan.
He graduated in medicine ut the Rush
Medical College, and on the breaking out
of the civil war enlisted in the medical
corps of an Illinois regiment, serving his
full time with distinction. AT the close
of the war he settled at Dwight, ILL.,,
where he first evolved the theory that
inebriety was disease. He then began
seeking remedy. and after several fail
ures he discovered that double chloride
Of gold and sodium, combined with other
ingredients, had merits which led him to
begin extensive demonstrations of his
specific in the early sos and to establish
his first institute in 1887.

vanced to the desk.
".Will you autograph: asked the
clerk, his face aglow with the pleasure
that comes from the consciousness Of
intellectual superiority.
{" Certainly said the Georgia crack
er. his face no less radiant than that Of
the clerk; mines rye .. -s-s
There was no escape for the clerk,
and he treated with as good grace as
he could command under the circu
