BATTLE IN CHICAGO.
Squatters on Lake Front Tract Gre,
Police With BuIlets.

Squntters on Lake Front Tract Greet
Police With Bullets.
Capt. George W Streeter, the squat
ter" who claims a considerable tract of
land on the lake front in Chicago, invad.
ed the disputed territory with armed men
Saturday. The men carried Springfield
rifles, and with fixed bayonets they be-
gan patrollng the boundaries Of the
tract. They had with them a Gatling
gun and defed the police. A cla1h be-
tween the invaders and the police occur
red early in the day, and shots were fred
on both sides The police retired and
then orders were issued by Chief Of Po-
lice Ripley for 500 men with Calling
gun TO go TO the district. Sheriff Nagsr-
stadt with 100 deputies also hurried TO
the scene. The State militia was asked
to furnish men to man the Gasling gam.
Sixty rifles and sixty rounds % ammu-
milton were sent 10 the East Chicago
police station.
Late in the afternoon fire boat, with
a eating gun aboard, was dispatched mp
Lake Michigan to make a demonstration
from that side, and TO cut OF the escape
Of Streeter's men by means Of their
yacht. The army Of policemen and the
improvised warship descended ON Capt
Streeters followers and portion OF them
surrendered to the park police, while the
remainder made their escape.
Capt Stfeeter claims to own the land
which, were the title clear, would be
worth between thirty and fifty millions
OF dollars In 1855 Capt Streeter and
his wife were stranded on little sandbar
few yards from the shore at the foot
Of Superior street The spot was not
down on the maps aud the doughty uavi-
gator laid claim to the land and declared
his right, being the whole population, 20
elect himself to all the offices, which, in
framing a constitution. he deemed the
territory In need Of. AS the years pass
ed by the dumping Of all sorts of refuse
and earth washed up by the lake formed
a large tract, aud Capt Streeter became
man Of Importance With bis impor
lance aud the increased value of the
lands his troubles began. The tract be.
came connected win the shore. and own
ers Of adjoining property resented the
presence Of Capt, Strectcr and the re
tanners he had gathered about him They
carried the matter into court The Su
preme Court of the United States de
cided that the land was within the 1uris-
diction of the State OF Illinois strcater.
thereupon offered the district to the Fed
eral Government. A year ago he organ
lied, under the name District Of Iichi-
gan" territorial government. and eject
ed himself chief Justice and to other Of
fees OF importance. The police, however,
descended on him and his army Of fifty
men. and since then up to Saturday the
captain had lived in another part Of
town.

This tribute TO her distinguished father
will add, too, one more bright chapter to
the history of his daughter, Mrs. kenple,
for a while, during her fathers incum-
bency, the chafelaine of the executive
mansion and for many years an inmate OF
the Louise Home, an asylum for gentle
women provided through the generosity
Of the late w w. Coreoran. one Of the
capitals noted philanthropists.
Mrs. Semple was married In her early
girlhood and was scarcely more than a
bride when her father entered the White
House in 1SI1 The death of her mother
and the domestic responsibilities of her
older sister made Mrs. Semple virtually
the lady of the White House from 1872
to 1S44 Her husband had entered the
United States navy ard hi death, to-
yether with financial re arses, made It
necessary for Mrs. Semple to earn her
living. she was for some years princi-
pal of young ladies' school in Balti-
more, but failing sight compelled J r to
relinquish that occupation. She is now,
as stated, spending the autumn of her
years In the Louise Home in Washington.

ton becomes too perilous, will probably
trek straight northward toward Lyden-
burg. When this concentration takes
place there will be possibly 10000 men,
who may hold out for n time, with scat
tered bands of guerrillas elsewhere.
The press dispatches from the head
quarters Of Lord Roberts give no esti-
mate as to the number of Beers who
were fighting Gen. French and Gen. Ian
Hamilton Monday and Tuesday, but they
all agree that the Beers retired and that
the British casualties were slight.
While some newspapers regard the
practical surrender of Pretoria as the
end of the war, there are others that do
not venture such a sanguine opinion, CON
tenting themselves by saying il is the be-
ginning of the end. They recall the fire.
quently reiterated intention of the Beers
to withdraw to the mountains at Lyden-
burg, and find confirmation of this inten-
ton in the fact that President Kruger
has gone to Waterfallhoven. From that
place the main road runs due north to
Lydenburg They agree that if the Pres
ident was merely seeking to escape cap
ture he would continue his journey to
Lourenzo Marques instead of hating at
Waterfalhoven, which is ITO miles west
OF the eastern frontier of the Transvaal
1. is assumed that President Steyn of the
Grange Free State and State Secretary
Reitz of the Transvaal are accompany
ing President Kruger.
There remains, apparently, the posi-
bIity of guerrilla war, but as this would
be hopeless and unavailing it is probable
the Beers, with a certain hard good sense
which lies at the bottom of their charac-
acter, will perceive the uselessness of
further resistance. The British authori-
ties at Buluwayo think the Beers will re-
tire into Southern Rhodesn Events
elsewhere ii the field of war seem to
dwindie in comparison. Gen. Hunter re-
entered the Transvaal at Maribogopan
Tu .sday. The advance was made off the
railway. Water is scarce, and all the
farms are deserted.
r., Maribogopan is half way between Vry-
N.ag and Mdfeking. Gen. Baden Powell
Brnvading farther north, without oppo-
~sition. In Northern Natal Utrecht has
surrendered to Gen. Hildyard, and Gen.
Lyttleton is moving to Vrybeld. Three
different cores pOndents estimate the
number of Beers at Laing's Mex at about
10000.
There has been little fighting since
Bloemfontein was entered. Boer armies
have retreated steadily abandoning one
position after another. and offering no
opposition to ord Roberts advance. The
Transvaal capital has been considered
'impregnable" 1t is certainly so situat-
ed and fortified that. had the Beers chos-
en- to defend it. a protracted siege and
much sacrifice of life and treasure would
have been required for its reduction.

KRUGER BEGAN THE WAR.
Natal Invaded just After His Ultima
tum Was Cabled.

After a little longer than six months of
hard fighting, having 240,O0U men in the
field-the largest army England ever rails
ed--Great Britain has conquered the two
Boer republics of South Africa, which
hereafter will be a part of the empire.
Presidents Steyn and Kruger are fugi-
tives, and when captured doubtless will
be sent to join the intrepid Cronje on the
rock of st. Helena The war has cost
England fully 200, 100000 in money; the
lives of fully 10000 men We're sacrificed;
as many men are yet in hospital suffering
from wounds or disease. ana 5000 prison
ers of war are waiting at Pretoria to be
liberated by Lord Roberts victorious col
umns.
In return for her expenditures of blood
and money England gets undisputed pos
session of the diamond fields of the Or
ange Free State and the gold fields of the
Transvaal-the latter the main source
of the empires gold suDply-and here
after those who own the property and
pay the taxes in these two countries will
have representation in their governing
bodies.
AS for the Beers, whose brave and de-
teFmined hght against overwhelming
odds commanded the admiration of the
world they lose an identity which never
benefited them to any particular extent
and an independence which existed only
in name. President Kruger's govern
ment was in reality an oligarchy; its
chief executive was more of despot
than Russia's Gear; the burgher was not
a freeman in the American sense; he en-
joyed few educational facilities his
thinking was done for him and he cast
his ballot as directed. The South Afri-
can republic was the only nation calling
itself civilized that encouraged slavery
women occupied an inferior position; re-
ligious liberty in the republic was un-
known; only those in power could hope
to secure a competence, the main body OF
the people being poor. with no opportu-
mites for lettering their condition.
1t was the night of Oct 10, 1899, that
President Kruger cabled his ultimatum
to Lord Salisbury, which was, in effect
that war was on between the two coun

Montgomery, Raleigh and Norfolk, the
path of darkness included thirty other
towns. which are large enough to have
their names on the map.
1t will not be until l94S that the people
OF the United States have the opportu-
nifty of observing another total eclipse.
It has been eleven years since a similar
event was witnessed. but the advance
ment of astronomical science and the
marvellous improvements in telescopes,
photograph and electrical appliances In
sured more complete observations than
ever before known.
The United States Government and
all great educational institutions made
elaborate and costly preparations to get
the best possible observations and mill
ions of dollars were expended in this
way. Astronomical parties were estab-
lished at Pinehurst. \. c., GAINESVILLE
Ga, and Tripoli, North Africa. IN add
ton to these the War and Navy Depart
ments sent out parties, while the leading
universities and colleges OF the country
had astronomers on the ground. The
Mexican governments had observations
made at the National University in the
City of Mexico. European astronomers
chose the Siberian peninsula and the
northernmost coast OF Africa as the
places for taking the best observations.
The British Government expedition, I'M
der the direction OF Sir Norman Lockyer
of the r cyal Observatory. was stationed
at Alicante: the Dublin University party,
which numbered some of the foremost
British astronomers, viewed the eclipse
from a point near the Spanish post of
Plazenia; the Portuguese Government
granted special facilities to foreign as
tronomers desiring to view the eclipse
from points in that country, all the re-
sources Of the Royal Observatory at Lis
bon being placed at their disposal.
Interest in study of Corona.
While great interest attached to the
eclipse itself, the object of the astron-
omers composing the eclipse expedi-
tions" from all parts of the country was
not alone TO observe the passing Of the
moon before the sun. but the study Of
the corona, This particular branch OF
the .many phenomena generally attending
an eclipse, has always been an unsolva-
bic problem Ii is the belief Of many as

tries from that date unless the British
Government reccded from IT'S contention
that it was entitled to exercise the right
of suzerainty over the affairs Of the
South African republic. Within few
hours the English premier replied
through the office of the secretary of
state for the colonies that the question
was too grave a one TO be answered with
out reflection, and the next day the in
vasion of Natal by the Beers began, three
columns pouring in from the Free state
and the Transvaal SO far as can be es-
timated. about $4,000 Boers were put in
to the field, and as every man was fine
marksman, fighting behind defenses prac-
tically impregnable the burghers had adj
vantages ON their side that only numeri-
cal superiority, patience and time could
overcome. Therefore, the Beers scored
many successes, the British suffering sew
eral disastrous defeats before they learn
ed the art of war as practiced by the willy
mountaineers.
No figures regarding Boer losses have
ever been given out, it being the practice
of the burghers TO bury their dead as soon
as possible and make no report on them
whatever.
Bloemfontein, the capital Of the Orange
Free State. was entered by the British
March II. this resulting in breaking the
backbone of the Free Staters' resistance.
President Steyn fed TO Winburg and es-
tablished his capital there. but was later
compelled TO abandon the place, and the
Orange republic being declared out Of ex-
istence. hundreds of burghers gave up
their rifles and returned TO their farms.
From that date the advance Of the invad-
ing forces was not checked; the siege Of
Wepener was raised after several sharp
engagements had been fought, the border
Of the Orange Free State was crossed
and the territory Of the South African
republic entered for the first time since
the opening OF hOstilities Nafeking was
relieved after a siege Of pa days. and the
march upon johannesburg. the metropolis
Of the TransYaal. was begun in earnest
1t vas thought there would be serious
resista ICE az the Gold Reef City, but
when Lord Roberts army approached
the Beers decided it was futile to at
tempt driving the British back, and the
town vas Surrendered May 30 without .
shot being fired.
