Contrary to the agreement of the al

APPROVE HARSH MEASURES.
Roberts Boer Regulations Approved
At Home.

New York. August PA 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 gem
eral approval here. 1t is an undoubted fact
that Lord Roberts policy of so-called
leniency has been unpopular in Great Brit
ain for some time past, and public opinion
has been urged that more severe measures
should be aiken. The effect of the COM
mander-in-chief's proclamation will be
that all those burghers who have not taken
the oath of allegiance to the queen may
be treated as prisoners of war and removed
from the country. 1t is undoubtedly un-
precedented to regard a civilian population
of an invaded territory when unarmed as
if they We're the enemy'S troops, but 1t is
maintained that in fact the Transvaal
burghers are all actual or potential COM
batants, and it is impossible to make dis
tinctions between those in the field and
those on the farms. The farmers, there
fore. must choose. They must either 10y
ally become British subjects or else they
must be deemed to have thrown in their
lot with the queens enemies. II they take
the oath and violate it Lord Roberts
threatens them with Imprisonment or
death, and the farms and buildings of all
persons aiding or abetting the Boer forces
will be confiscated or destroyed.
Even the opposition journals, which dis
like the war, do not for the most part OBJ
ject to these drastic measures. pointing
out that in the interest of the Beers them
selves. as well as the British, 1T is heces-
sary that the campaign should be bought
to a conclusion and the burghers taught
the futility of resistance. 1t is admitted,
however. thai the adoption of his policy
must intensity the savag and bitter char
acter which the struggle has now as
sumed, and that the immediate effect is
likely to be a considerable accession to the
numbers Of Dewet and other commanders
in the field.
Orders nave been sent to Aldershot for
fresh drafts of reinforcements, to be pre-
pared for South Africa, so that it does
not look as if the hope of the ministry
that a large proportion of General Roberts
army may be brought back in September
is at all likely to be fulfilled.

REWARD AFTER MANY YEARS,
Saves Life of Her Mistress and Be-
comes An Heiress.

New York, Aug. 21.-For saving the life
of Mrs. Elmer Carthage of Galveston,
Tex, "a years ago, says a dispatch to the
World from Albany, Mrs. Julia Sheldon,
a seamer in a knitting mill, is made heir
to a fortune of $12, 900. Mrs. Sheldon was
Mrs. Carriages maid in 1866. While out
riding with her mistress one day the
horse ran away. Mrs. Sheldon cut the
traces in time to save them both from
being dashed over a precipice. Maid and
parted soon after the accident
and Mrs. Sheldon never heard from Mrs.
Carthage. Mrs. Carthage died several
weeks ago. When her will was read her
were surprised to ear that
Mrs. Sheldon had been made sole heir.

MESSENGER WAR
COMPANY SERVICE IN LONDON
TO BE ABOLISHED.
A STORM IN POSTAL CIRCLES.
Postmaster General Destroys Only
Good Service-English Mail
System Abominable.

New York, August 21.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from London
says:
Marquis of Londonderry, the new post
master general, has brought down a YER
table 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. Manchester, Leeds and 9TH
err big cities and towns.
The reason given by the Marquis for
this extraordinary move is that the dis
trict messenger companies are e%ncroach-
ing upon the preoragatives on the states.
which claims the monopoly of the con-
veyance of messages by letter and by
wire.
In no civilized country is the postal and
telegraph service more abominable than
in England. Neither telegraph or post
office is open On Sunday. Six years ago
district messenger companies on Ameri-
can lines were formed in London and in
leading provincial cities, the subscribers
We're provided with call boxes and as the
messenger offices remained open on Sun
day and all night and insured a rapid and
sure delivery of letters, the service has
gradually become indispensable to the
public.
The messengers have become especial
ly Indispensable since the nomination of
Lord Londonderry to the postmaster gen.
eralship last spring. Appointed in order
to stop his attack upon the government,
Lord Londonderry signalized his assump-
ton of the office by proclaiming that he
knew nothing whatsoever about postal
matters.
To the abuse lavished upon him in con-
nection there with, the marquis has now
responded by announcing his intention of
suppressing the district messenger SER
vice. The latter employees here in London
alone several thousand we'll trained lads,
all of whom will be thrown out of employ
ment, while the five million inhabitants
of the metropolis will be deprived of their
only means of communication on sun
day.
1t is probable that the p%ostofice will
compensate the messenger companies
for their plant on the same basis as the
telephone companies, whose services it is
taking over. But hat does not help the
public, which. irrespective of political
party, is %unsparing in virulent abuse.

! tory. AS a result Of this view, 1t Is stated
that all orders placed subject to opening
prices were confirmed, and in many in
stances buyers are said to have increased
their purchase very largely. The con-
sensus of opinion is, that in view of the
exceedingly strong position of salmon by
reason of the estimated shortage of be-
tween 500, 900 and 700. 900 cases for the en-
tire pack on the coast, he prices named,
$1.10 and $1.11h, are very favorable to
buyers, M will enable them to sell at
a profit. figuring the cost laid down on
the basis of all rail rates at $1.22h. The
figures given refer to all water rate, the
cheapest freight o~btainable from the
coast.
In an interview a leading operator said:
There can be no doubt that the prices
named are low, considering the strong
situation salmon is in, and all reports at
hand indicate that buyers have confirmed
what orders We're placed. 1 understand
also that considerable business has been
done among country buyers, particularly
in the east. 1t is impossible to form any
estimate as to the quantity that has been
sold. but If reports are anything like cor
rect. the association must have placed
a very large share of it's total pack.
Buyers in this market have probably
been the smallest purchasers, since a
number of the large buyers placed orders
for a large share of their probable re-
QulrementS with outside packers some
time ago. The opinion among a large
majority of the buyers is that the prices
are low. AS a matter of fact. the values
are only ten cents per dozen higher han
last year. whereas IN other descriptions
outside of Alaska the difference between
this year and last is considerably greater.
1t is intimated that the association will
advance the price on stock not sold withip
a few days. but whether this is merely
an inducement for buyers to get in early
or not remain to be seen. If it does, !
this will be practically a guarantee
against cutting prices and will insure the
buyers a reasonable profit. What effect
the additional cost of red Alaska salmon
will have upon the consumption is some
thing entirely problematical. The middle
and poorer classes are the great custom !
ers of canned salmon, and to them each
additional charge is a burden and results
in a decreased use of the article.

HARD TO FIND AS AGUINALDO.
Emperor and Empress Cover Their
Tracks Well.

New York, Aug. 21.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Conflicting reports are again current as
to whether the empress dowager and en-
peror are still in Pekin Oh not. Tele-
grams of Japanese origin affirm that
they have not yet left the capital. but
the Chinese minister in London declares
positively that he has information that
they fled a few days before the arrival
of the allied forces to Hsi An Flu, the re-
cent capital of the Chinese empire in
hen ST. 1t is stated that a force of
Boxers is marching to meet the empress
and escort her to the south.
The Times correspondent in Shanghai
understands that the Russian govern
ment, in a communication to Lii Hung
Chang, has declared that the question of
Manchuria must form the subject of a
separate negotiation between the two
powers.

De Castellanes Are Not Now Needing
Money.

New York, August PA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
The statement contained in a cable dis
patch from Paris to the effect hat the
Chateau lie Marais, belonging to Count
Boni de Castellane. was about to be sold
under distress, caused some surprise in
Paris. M. Henri Cachard, of the firm of
the Coudert Brothers, who acted for the
Coun and Countess de Castellane, said
to a correspondent:
THE Castellane family drew my at
tention to this erroneous statement. The
chateau owned by Count de Castellane
is the Chateau lie Marais, situat near
R~ambouillet, near Paris. which formerly
belonged to the Duchess lie Noailles. 1t
is not going to be sold and there is no
question of selling it. The count and
countess are staying there at present.

HOT WEATHER BROKEN.

New York, August 21.-A special to the

Maryland has been ravaged by terrific
electrical wind and rain storms within
the last day or two. Several lives have
been lost, five or six persons injured and
the estimated aggregate loss to property
Is about SIS, 900. The storms have also
effectually broken the hottest spell ever
known in Maryland. 1t will be several
days before the full extent of the dam
age lis known. The storms had their CEN
tiers in Talbot, Dorchester and Caroline
counties. At Easton and throughout Tai
bot county the hail did great damage to
fruit. In Cambridge the storms We're the
worst since 1876. Buildings were much
damaged and shipping as well.

TOURISTS ARE STRANDED.
French Hotel and Railway Coupons
Are No Good.

New York, Aug. PA dispatch to the
Times from Paris says:
With regard to the stranded American
tourists. Mr.. Crawford declares he has
done his best for them, but they will
be finally compensated. He admits that
both hotel and railway coupons were in
many cases invalid and that the tourists
have been thrown on their own
until their steamer sails. Nor does he
deny that many tourists from Switzer-
land had come to Paris third class-that
is, with emigrant tickets paid for by
themselves.
In an interview, DR.. Hill of Salem, a
trustee of the Christian Endeavor society,
attempts to minimize the Importance Of
the affair. but admits that $50, We're
tied Up: that the railway upo were
out of date and that the tourist agency
has been compelled to refuse aid to he
tourists.

WANT 1T ALL SETTLED.
England Has Much to Lose in Long
Negotiations.

New York, August 21.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: News with
reference to Pekin continues both Scanty
and contradictory. There is still confusion
as to the precise date of the allied forces
entry, whether it happened on the 14th
or 18th. What is more important for prac-
teal purposes, the uncertainty continues
to prevail as to the proceedings of the en-
press dowager. The Chinese minister here
from Pekin which shows that the empress
together with the emperor, left the capital
some days before the arrival of the allied
forces. No official news, however, has
rea ched the Chinese legation here since the
receipt of the telegram from Pekin an
nouncing the entry of the foreign troops
on the 18th. Berlin, like London and WASH
inston, is supplied with both versions OF
the imperial movements, while a dispatch
has been received from Ii Hung Chang
announcing that the court has gone west
ward.
The German consul of Che Foo te1e-
graphs that the bombardment of the palace
is still going on and that the empress is be-
lieved to be within the walls of the for
hidden city.
With regard to the suggested peace ne
gotiations, nothing is at present decided at
the foreign office. Ii Hung Changes appli-
cation to Washington has not yet been
officially communicated to Downing street,
which has only Just dispatched to the Brit
ish consul at Shanghai Lord Salisbury's
reply to Lis previous suggestion of an
armistice. In this message the British
foreign Secretary says that no negotia-
tons can te initiated until the legation
staffs and other foreigners are safely de-
livered at Tien Tsin without opposition
from the Chinese troops. The opinion of
those qualified to EXPRESS an opinion is
that Great Britain would very readily sup
port the proposition for opening negotia-
tons for a definite settlement as soon as
possible, especially to the United States.
England herself has nothing to gain by
the Chinese imbroglio, not even in the Vans
Use region, where it is clear that she
might easily drift into difficulties with
other European powers.
But Russia has already obtained a foot
hold In Manchuria, and the longer hostili-
ties, real or nominal, last, the easier will.
it be for her to secure her position there.
This is scarcely more to the interest of
Great Britain that it is to that of Japan.
Accounts have been received by mission
airy societies of the terrible sufferings en-.
dured by the missionaries male and female,
in the long Journeys from the interior of
CHINA to the coast through a hostile popu-
lation. The province of SEE Chuen is now.
however, said to be much quieter and the
British consul has been instructed to re.
turn to Chung King in an armed river
steamer. His needlessly precipitated re-
tirement was not at all liked by the foreign
Office and he received peremptory instruc-
lions to go back at once.
