KRUGER NOT TO QUIZ.
Transvaal President Says the BurGhers
Will Fight to the Bitter End.

VIII F1Snt 10 the fSltt6r End
President Kruger, replying to the offer
of 100 acres of land in America to each
burgher is reported as saying: I'VE thank
you for this generous offer of land. but
the burghers are determined to fight for
their own land and independence to the
bitter end.'
In the Orange Free State the British
are not having their own way by any
means. Even apart from the capture
of the Irish YeOmanry, Gen. Rumble has
made what the London Nails expert
calls retrograde movement. Nothing
official has been heard from Gen. Butler
in Natal. At last accounts he was pre-
pairing to turn the Boer position at
fighting.
\ dispatch from Maseru, in Basuto-
land. says that in the last engagement
the Beers took fifty-four British prison
ers, including an officer, whom they re-
leased conditionally. The officer estimat-
ed that-thc Boer forces between Ficks-
burg and Bethlehem number 6,OO0 men.
The Thirteenth Imperial Yeomanry
battalion, captured by the Beers near
I.indley. Orange River Colony, consisted
of two Irish units and two companies OF
the Duke of Cambridge's own. inciud-
ing Lord DOnOughmorc's company OF the
corps, number of men in the ranks be-
ing closely allied to noble families
Among the officers of the Thirteenth I'M
perial YeOmanry captured are the Earl
Of Leitrim. the Earl of Longford and the
Earl of EnnismOre.
A London cable says that it now ap-
pears certain that there will be stubborn
fighting on the part of the Beers. While
the British were taking possession of
johannesburg and Pretoria the burghers
escaped with their guns, rolling stock and
1000 British prisoners. President Kru-
ger declares that the real struggle is just
beginning. Sir Alfred Miner cables from
Cape Town, warning miners not to start
for the Transvaal, adding that two
months at least must elapse before Jo-
hannesburg can be opened and work at
the mines resumed.

the Chinese troops have been defeated
near there. London advices say that dis
patches from the far East show appar-
emily no cessation in the activity of the
boxers, but the powers are gradually feel
ing their way to common action for the
suppression of the disorders. 1t is be-
lieved that when the dowager empress
realizes the first intention to check her
connivance in the anti-fOreign movement,
there will be a speedy end to the rioting,
as, if the Chinese acted in good faith,
they could easily quell the rabble. which
is armed chiefly with spears, agricultural
implements, a few swords and some old
rifles.
Pressing appeals are being sent to the
State Department and the President by
missionary interests in this country to
send United States marines into the i'll
terror portions Of China. where American
missionaries are threatened by the box
ers' uprising. To maintain an appearance
of neutrality and not to offend the Chin
csc with too much show of force, n
Washington correspondent says that the
Government cannot safely land more ma
rines in China To send them into the
interior would be deemed folly. With
this situation of affairs there is no posi-
bility OF aid for the missionaries unless
they seek the protecting wing of the
American legation at Peking. This is
the situation which confronts the State
Department

Dried Beef ON the HOOs.

FIRST SUIT OF ITS KIND.
Kansas City Federal Jury Gives Verdict
Under Sherman Law.

Kansas City Federal Jury Gives Verdict
Under Sherman Law.
The first suit ever brought TO recover
damages under the Sherman antitrust
law was decided for the plaintiff in Kan
sas City. Samuel Hartman, the plain
tiff, a coal dealer, joined the Kansas
City Coal Club" in 1896. believing, as
he alleged, that it was an organization
for social purposes. Subsequently at
meetings he attended the members fixed
the prices at which small dealers should
sell their coal. He withdrew, and there
upon. as he alleged, was unable to buy
coal of the dealers, and was unable to
fill his contracts. He then brought the
suit. with the result stated. The jury
in the United States District Court gave
the plaintiff verdict for $3.50 damages
and $500 for attorneys fees. The defense
will appeal TO the United States Court
of Appeals. In his instructions to the
jury Federal Judge Hook declared that
the club was fragrant violation of the
act of Congress against trusts.

Providence Or. L. special: by cOlli-

two cars on the suburban line of the Union
Railroad Company, four persons were
killed and about twenty-seven injured,
Of whom three are probably fatally hurt.
The scenes that followed the collision
were heartrending. Under the wreckase
were inanimate bodies, while groans and
shrieks of the injured filled the air. Those
who were not injured were frantic in their
efforts to locate their companions. Calls
were sent out for assistance and corps OF
doctors were soon at the scene. Willing
hands helped to extricate the injured, who
were conveyed to the Warwick station.
Two cars were equipped with cots, and
the doctors and assistants were dispatched
from this city to the wreck.

Ohio Farmer Murdered In Broad Dayi'ghe'
Presumably by His Uncle.
Mrs. Henry Shenk, wife of young
farmer living near Bucna Vista, Ohio,
stepped from the house into the yard and
was mortified at seeing the dead body OF
her husband lying on the ground. The
back of his head had been smashed in,
and death must have been instantaneous.
A bloody ak. which lay near 10y, showed
with what instrument the crime had been
committed. The story could be plainly
seen. Shenk had been washing his face
at 4 washstapd in the yard, when the
murderer had seized the AK, stole up be-
hind him and dealt the fatal blow. The
frenzied wife at once gave the alarm, and
an investigation disclosed the fact that
Shenk had last been seen alive with an
uncle by marriage named John G. Stomp.
1t was known that the two men had had
trouble, and a search for Stomp vas he
