BOtha is Massing His Forces
Near Pretoria.

London, June In the absence of
anything from British sources enlight-
ening the Boer statement that General
Butler requested a three days armistice
the military experts here are inclined to
believe a revised version of the story
will show that General Butler sum-
moned the federals to surrender or
evacuate their positions within three
days, failing which he will attack them
According to a dispatch from Lorenzo
Marques under today's date the Beers
under General Botha are again concen-
trating in the neighborhood of Hather-
ly, II miles east of Pretoria. From the
same source it is reported that the Brit
ish prisoners are being removed to
Nooit Gedacht, an unhealthy spot in the
Glands valley. About 300 men arrived
there June and 700 reached the place
June 6. These probably constitute the
portion of the prisoners which Lord
Roberts reported had been shifted from
Water Val.
The strained relations between the
secretary of state for war, the Marquis
of Lansdowne and the British COM
mander-in-chief of force, Lord Wolse-
ley, appeared to have reached such a
pitch that but for the eXlgenc1eS OF
the situation, Lord WOlseley would
have resigned. 1t seems that Lord
Lansdowne attempted to usurp some of
the authority always heretofore welded
by the commander-in-chief and the lat
ter is now said to have laid the whole
matter before Lord Salisbury.

In various parts of the state alfalfa
fields are afflicted by worms, in general
appearance much like the welI-known
cut worm. These crawl up in the
branches and work destruction by de-
VOuring the foliage, showing a prefer
ence for the tops and tenderest shoots.
When disturbed they drop to the
ground, curl up and lie as if lifeless.
Their prevalence in such numbers is
something new, and no one has sug-
gested any practicable remedy In some
counties they are reported as having in
jured the first cutting of alfalfa 25 per
cent. Aside from these worms the fields
were never in so good cOnditiOns@Gen-
eral condition 9S. Fifty-four counties
show a condition ranging from 100 to

ANOTHER TRUST
Salina Paper Says Grain Compa-
ny is GObbIing Up Elevators.
Dealers in Central Kansas Being
Forced to Sell.

The Salina Daily Union has discover
ed another trust which is fastening it's
tentacles to Kansas.
THE grain buyers, millers and many
of the farmers of central and western
Kansas are greatly exercised over the
advent of the Peavy Elevator company,
of Minnesota, into the Kansas wheat
belt They claim that the northern
company is a trust, that it is endeavor-
ing to stifle competition, and that when
it succeeds it reduces the price which
it pays farmers for their grain.
ITO prove these assertions attention
is called to the fact that the company
has secured control of 46 elevators in
central and western Kansas, and is
constantly, building more. Several in
stances are cited in which it is alleged
the Peavy company has forced individ-
ual elevator men to sell out to them,
and the matter has progressed so far
that an appeal has been made to the
interstate commerce commission for as
siStance.
1T is. further alleged that the Peavy
company has a combination with the
by it is enabled to ship grain more
cheaply than its competitors from
points where it is forced to come into
competition with others, and that it can
therefore oversell them until the COM
petitors are forced out of business.
1.-The Peavy Elevator company last
year claimed to have handled one-tenth
of all the grain raised in America. 1t
is by far the largest grain company in
the world
ITO prove that it is a trust and has
adopted trust principles in forcing
smaller dealers out of business, three
Instances are cited within twenty miles
of Salina. At Bavaria, the first station
west of here, there is an elevator which
was owned until a few months ago by
H. Work, a grain dealer of Ellsworth,
and a prominent member of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association. When the
Peavy company began Its operations on
the Union Pacific it offered to buy
Work out, but he refused the offer. The
company then unloaded the material
for a new elevator in Bavaria and
threatened to put up a new building
and run Work out of business if he re-
fused to sell, and he then sold
''The same tactics were used to get
possession of the McCracken elevator
at Solomon. At Mentor the company
recently asked for a new lease of the
Miller elevator. Mr.. Miller asked 500
a month for the property, but the
Peavy company refused to pay more
than $50, and threatened to put up a
new elevator if the offer was not ac-
cepted."

GOV. STEPHENS THREATENED.
Jefferson City, Mo-, June 7.-Gov-
received from st. Louis threatening
him if he does not call out the militia
to suppress street car strike riots
This morning he received the following
card:
"St. Louis Mo, June 6, 1900
ITO Mr.. Stephens, governor of Missouri,
Jefferson City, Mo-:
''If you do not call out the state
militia in a few days you will be shot.
Respectfully, E. EYERAIORE.
Governor Stephens says he has not
had the support of the press and citi-
zens of st. Louis in his efforts to pre-
serve order, and that these letters are
the natural result of the constant at
tacls of the newspapers and others.
Governor Stephens said he expected to
go to St. Louis tonight and answer the
citizens in person in regard to their re-
quest to have the militia called out.
The governor then gave out the fol-
lowing:
I have endeavored fearlessly, hon
estly and conscientiously to do my
full duty as the governor of Missouri
since the st. Louis strike was inaugu-
rated. Notwithstanding this 1 have not

ridicuIe by most of the st. Louis news

authorities have made has been dis
credited, every motive has been i'm
pugned.

anarchists and mobs and property is

St. Johns College Wants Interest on

reside in Baltimore are preparing to make
a vigorous fight in the Legislature for
the annual interest on Szoo 900, said to

Many of the alumni residing in Balti-
more will come to Annapolis this week in

In the early part Of the century the
State agreed to give St. Johns an annu-

that the College give free scholarships to
certain classes. In the early sos. how
ever. the payments had so dwindled that
the State was indebted to the College to
the amount of S7oo.o Payment was
demanded ard the Couit of Appeals de-
cided the claim to be just. The trustees
agreed to accept yearly sum Of sI2 900.
