STEYN REPORTED DE4.D.
Reported to Have Expired From n
Severe Wound.

London, Aug. 17-Former President
Steyn, according to a dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marques, dat
ed yesterday is reported to have died
endeavoring to reach Mr.. Kruger, as the
the result of a severe wound.
According to dispatch to the Daily
Express from Lorenzo Marques, dated
yesterday it is reported there that Gen
eral Dewet has succeeded in joining
hands with Commandant Delarey.
A British correspondent recently re-
leased from captivity at Nooitgedacht
asserts positively that Mr.. Kruger
wishes peace, but the fighting COM
mandants insiste upon continuing the
war and would prevent his flight by
force, if necessary.
The burghers according to the same
authority, share this view The Trans
vaalers have ninety guns at Macado-
dorp, with abundant provisions.
Viscount Wolseley, field marshal and
commander-in- chief of the British army,
delivered, according to the Daily Mail,
the most scathing condemnations ever
heard at Aldershot after witnessing
Yesterdays manoeuvres. He declared
that the 10000 men who participated
led and badly taught. Many distin-
gushed officers listened to the remarks,
among them General Montgomery
Moore, formerly in command in Canada,
but now commanding at Aldershot.

RESIGNATION NOT ACCEPTED.
DR.. Griffin Placed Under Suspension b,
Hospital Prudential Com mittce.

| The prudential committee of the New
Haven hospital held it's regular weekly
meeting yesterday afternoon There
was no occasion to take any action in
| the case of DR.. Foster, recently dis
missed from the staff of house physi-
clans, but the resignation of DIR. Griffin,
who resigned because of sympathy with
DIR. Foster, was taken up. The resigna-
tion was received, but it was voted not
to accept it. A member of the commit
tee said last night that DR.. Griffin had
no reason for resigning and that the
moment he left he was liable to suspen-
sion. He simply handed in his resgna-
tion and left, committing, in the eyes
of the committee, the same offense for
which DIR. Foster was dismissed The
committee holds that having commit
ted a breach of the rules, it was then
too late for him to offer his resigna ton
and it was therefore voted to formally
suspend him until the next meeting of
the medical board, which will probably
occur early in September.
A member of the prudential commit
tee said last night that courtesy to
nurse had nothing to do with DIR. Fos-
ters dismissal. He said that DIR. Fos-
ter, without leave, disappeared from the
hospital about the middle of the day on
Saturday and did not return until the
following Tuesday night, and it was
for this that he was dismissed.

Riots Discussed With Ham mn

New York, Aug. 16.-The riot in this
city last night was one of the topics at
Republican National headquarters to-
day. Professor w. S. Scarborough, COL
ored, vice president of Wilbarforce uni
versitv, Ohio had called unon Chair
man Hanna, and in speaking of the riot
Professor Scarborough said that the
conservative and respectable elements
of both races deplored the trouble. He
thought it was caused by the lowest
white and black. Negro walters and
porters, who put all their money on
their backs in the way of clothing and
jawelery and stand around the saloons
were the principal ones in the affair."
but the whole colored race should not
be Judged by them. The rioting showed
that the race prejudice as as strong to-
day in the north as it is in the south,
1t was the lawless element in the south
that makes all the trouble.

London Aug. 17.-3:45 a. MA cable

nounces the capture of Pekin, but the
Austrian government, like other Euro
rean powers. is still without confirma-
tion of this report.
An official telegram dated Taku

Rome which asserts that the at
tack on Pekin began Monday, that Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British minister
1ieving force and that the allies have es-
tablshed their headquarters at Tung
Chow.
The concensus of opinion expressed
by the morning papers tends to the be-
lief that the legations are now safe with
the allies.
Describing the capture of Ho ST WI a
special dispatch says that the head gear
of the Americans was quite insufficient
for the awful heat and that the conse-
quences were direful.
Chinese officials in Shanghai are re-
ported as admitting that the allies in
flicted heavy defeat on the Chinese
imperial troops around Tung Chow Sun
day and then marched direct on Pekin.
This, If true, carries the japanese official
advices announcing the capture of Tung
Chow one step further.
Shanghai dispatches declare that the
Chinese had intended to make a final
attack upon the legations last Sunday,
but whether the plan was carried out is
not known there.

TO STOP ELECTRICITY LEAKING
Inventor Tesla Claims to Have Solved
the Problem.


New York Aug. ia patent has
been granted to Nicola Tesla for an in
vention which, if his claims are borne
out, will prevent the escape of electric
ity from wire.
Tesla's invention. it is claimed, solves
the insulation problem in a simple
manner. He insulates the wife by pass
ing through it or near it air kept at a
low temperature, producing a coat of
ice on the wire which the inventor finds
cannot be broken through by the
strongest currents and at the same time
gives an insulation that costs practical
ly nothing.
BY means of this latest discovery the
loss of electricity or electrical energy
in transmission, it is claimed, can be
rendered so small as to be insignificant
and that power can be transmitted to
great distances by means of under
ground wires.
