With the tendency for special stocks in fuenced by rumOrs. For example, New Jersey Central jumped over five points on reports of a change of ownership of the property and favorable devalop- ments in the anthracite coal trade. Other coal stocks sympathiZed, but the late reaction reduced their gains to fractions outside of Delaware and Hud- son, which closed 2A higher. In Atch:~ son positive assertions for and against the payment of dividend on the com- mon stock were heard which lent tn- terest to the movement in the shares. Brooklyn Transit spurted up ? points on the reputed favorable character of it's pending annual statement, but the announcement late in the day that the report would not be published for seve- ral weeks wiped out pretty much ali that rise.
 Operations in the steel group were within rather narrow limits, and they closed somewhat off on bear pressure due to another decline in warrants, Railroad stocks, particularly the gran ger group. received good support, but they suffered in common with the gene ral list in the selling movement toward the close. At intervals today individual groups were singled out for an advance. and as the braam traders generally fol- lowed what appeared to be good buy ing, other stocks received less atten ion, and usually lost ground. Sugar, Peo- ple's Gas and Consolidated Gas were conspicuous features in the market at different times. but in only the latter was there any material effect left of the demand, a net gain of 31A points being established. Sentiment abroad was re ported to be more favorably inclined toward American rails. and London took almost 10000 shares of stock. Pro- fit taking was indulged in in the late dealings, and the marked gave way all around, ending under pressure.

London, Aug. 21.-Lord Roberts tels- graphs the important news that 1.200 more Boers have surrendered to Gen. Hunter, in addition to the 9S6 already made prisoners. Olivier, however, with five guns and a number of burghers, broke through the cordon and got away toward Harrismith. Olivier was the general who commanded at Stormberg, and probably many Of his men are Co., lOnial rebels.
 An unfortunate incident has happen ed near Frederickstad on the Krugers- dorp and Potchefstroom railway. The Boers removed some of the rails, and this led to the wrecking of a supply train. Thirteen men were killed and 'thirty-nine injured. A detachment had been ordered to patrol the line to pre- vent such occurrences, but failed to do it's duty.

AN ASH FORK HOLD-UP
The Victim. Railroad Man, Brutally
 Assaulted.

Williams, Ariz., Aug. 21.-(Special.)- A most brutal attack took place at Ash Fork this morning about o'clock. when six bandits assaulted F. J. Corners, the yard foreman at that place. Corners was on his way to the section house when he was met by six stalwart char acterS who told him to hold up his hands. He refused to do this and was immediately dealt a blow breaking his nose. Then they jumped upon him and inflicted serious bodily injury. They proceeded to rifle his pockets, taking $65 in money. MT. Corners is now in the hospital at this place. No cIew thus far has been found of the robbers. Corners has for some years been in the employ of the Santa Fe system and is about 50 years of age.

Brussels. Aug. 20.-The strike in the glass factories started here became general today. The unions are trying to compel the masters to recognize the principle that prevails in the United States that employers must treat with the unions who wish to nave something to say at the wording of contracts, the discussion of the rate of wages and hours of work. The masters claim that conditions here are different from those in America, and that the plan would not work. They say that they must be al lowed to make transactions with indi- Vidual workman.

Germany Knows of Nobody to Treat
 With.

Berlin, Aug. 21-Referring to Ii Hung Chang's latest request shington for mediation, high official of the German foreign office said to a correspondent of the Associated Press today:
 Germany is waiting to see what answer the United States will make. If Washington is convinced that Earl Lii represents any responsible Chinese government, it could, of course, un1er- take the mediatory role for the estab- lishment of peace, but Germany is con- fdent that in any case the United States will not separate itself from the concert of powers"
 Asked if China now offered satisfac- tory indemnity for the murder of Baron Won Ketteler. the German minister, whether Germany would be willing to make peace. the official replied: Ma ters have not yet advanced far enough to go into that, but there is no question of territorial conquest or of infiicting heavy blows, but merely of the re-es- tablishment of orderly conditions in Chfna.'' --r-e.--

new ROAD FOR St. Paul
BURLINGTON, CEDAR RAPIDS 4
NORTHERN HAS ENGINEERS
IN THE FIELD
FIRST GOES INTO owAToNNA
From There VIII Come Over Minnc-
sofa Division of the Chi
cagO, Milwaukee 81
St. Paul.

A cipher message to one of the Chicago
lines received yesterday brings the in
formation that the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern has a party Of en-
gineers in the field for the purpose of de-
termning a new route into the cities.
The information comes from an executive
official and is regarded as correct. 1t is
intimated that the line will seek entrance
to Owatonna, in Steele county, securing
a traffic agreement by which 1t will come
into the cities from there over the Iowa
and Minnesota division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul.
The information is taken as evidence
that the Minneapolis s. st. Louis has no
titled the B., c. r. & N. that the present
traffic arrangements must soon be ter
minated. This has been anticipated for
several months and is considered a result
OF Illinois Central influence. Ever since
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
first gained access to the cities 1t has had
a traffic agreement with the Minneapolis
& st. Louis whereby 1t made connections
with that line at Albert Lea for st. Paul
and Minneapolis.
Since the news came that the Illinois
Central was backing the new Albert Lea
& Southwestern, and would operate in
connection with the Minneapolis & st.
Louis from Albert Lea, local railroad men
have been looking for the finish of the
agreement with the B., c. r. & n. Lit
tie accurate information Is obtainable re-
garding the work of the engineering
party, though information has been re-
ceived that they have worked through
Clark's Grove and Geneva, townships
lying between Albert Lea and Owatonna,
and are headed for the Milwaukee at
Owatonna. BY building a line from AL
bert Lea to Owatonna, a distance of less
than thirty-hVe miles, and by securing a
traffic arrangement with the Milwaukee,
as good connections could be secured as
under the old arrangement. Officials
OF the Milwaukee seen yesterday stated
that no adVices had been received con-
corning negotiations between that line
and the B., c. r. & N. The matter is
being watched with great interest by the
Great Western, Omaha and other roads
having branches through the southwest
ern part of the state since the construc-
ton Of the new Albert Lea s. Southwest
ern and the branch of the B., c.. R. &
N. would change the railroad map of that
section considerably and introduce several
new features in competition. The pro-
posed line through Freedom and Steele
counties would give the B., c. R. & N.
