London, July 16.-While the dark.
ness which now for nearly three
weeks has enshrouded Pekin is un.
broken, there comes news from Lord
Roberts of serious disaster to Brit.
ish arms in the capture of some 500
men and two guns at the moment
when the people We're assured that
the war was virtually over. 1t is a
heavy blow and great discourage

The Beers have long been hopelessly
outnumbered. The exact ratio be-
tween the two armies cannot be
known, but moderate estimate is
eight TO one. The capitals of both
republics have long been in British
hands. Gen. Jonbert is dead. Gen.
Cronie, with his whole force, is a
prisoner at st. Helena. The Free
State has been regularly and other
wise annexed. President Kruger and
President Steyn are fugitives. Yet
the war goes on as if nothing had hap
pened Peace does not seem to be
within measurable distance.
A report from Platkop says that
the British engaged the Beers all day
long Saturday. Scouts and mounted
infantry moving north located the
Beers 1000 strong, occupying the
ridge, from which they were driven
the previous day. After stubborn re-
sistance the Beers forced the British
to bring the howitzers into action.
The infantry deployed for a general
advance under Clery's direction. The
Beers opened fire in all directions,
Smelling with guns posted on the Brit
ish right. The mounted infantry, in
the face of a severe fire, attacked the
Beers. A gun posted on an in
trenched kopje four miles to the east
forced the Beers from number of
ridges, detached parties retiring on
the center while gun on the right
was withdrawn through ravine to-
ward an intrenched hill.

MORE SOLDIERS WANTED.
Events In the Philippines Prove That 1907
900 Troops Are Needed to Establish
American Sovereignty.

Washington, July 16,--According to
the correspondence from Manila
''more soldiers" Is the demand which
is coming to Gen, Macarthur from
every department of the Philippine
islands. Recent events have worked
to vindcate Gen. Lawton's judgment
that 100000 troops would be needed
to establish American sovereignty
over the Philippines. Until they at
tempted to hold a province of 100000
or 100000 hostiles with a regiment or
two the American commanders hard
" realized the size of the Philippine
islands. The present force is not
large enough to garrison more than
half the important towns and in some
of the most important islands. among
them Cebu, Panay, Samar, Leyte and
the great Mohammedan empire of
Mindanao, only the commercial ports
are occupied. The Moros are a cloud
on the horizon. The officers best ac-
quanted with conditions in Mindanao
and the Sum islands tell the Asso-
ciated press correspondent that they
consider serious fighting there in
evitable. II II comes the two regi-
ments which are scattered in small
garrisons, some of them hundreds of
miles apart, along the coast of Min
danao, an island nearly as large as
Luzon, may have serious work.

nent among them being the Marinette
Iron works. of Marinette, Wis.
He received letter from the COM
pany operating this plant few days
ago, stating that they had outgrown
the present location and We're desirous
of securing a new one. They employ
100 men, whose wages average $4,000 a
month, and would require a site about
eight acres in size.
They seemed to be deSirOus of inter-
esti ng local capital to the extent of at
least 100000. Secretary Atherton
wrote in reply that it was the policy
of the Scranton board of trade in the
future to endeavor as far as possible
to bring outside capital into the city,
instead of bringing in industries which
would absorb local capital
He is convinced, however, from the
favorable tone of the letter, that he
will hear more from the Marinette peo-
pie.

of the board OF trade upon the occa-
sion of the annual meeting in January

fair to say that the negroes of New
York have brought trouble upon them
selves by the outrageous incidence OF
their behavior on the streets, in tene-

have not been satisfied with being con-
sidered as good as white people; they
have assumed to be superior. The re-
publican party committed gross
crime against the republic by giving
tEam votes before they we're educated
to the right use of the franchise, and
the republicans are always coddling
and petting them by appointments in
the national departments as janitors,
porters and letter-carriers in order to
win their bollots. Pulled up by this
political favoritism and presuming up
on it, the negroes have made certain
sections Of New York uninhabitable for
