BOER COMMISSIONERS.
VIII Be Received by Secretary Hay a.
Private individuals. E GE'

WASHINGTON, May At can be
stated that the persons: composing the
Boer delegation, who are about to sail
from Europe for the United States this
week, will not be denied access to the
secretary of state when in Washing
They will be received as individuals,
Just as was Mr.. Montagu White, but
with the distinct understanding that
they are not recognized officially as a
Boer delegation. Otherwise Secretary
Hay will treat them as he would treat
any other distinguished visitors from
abroad without regard to nationality,
but will not admit their competency to
enter into any other negotiations with
the state department.. Itig believed the
prospective visitors thoroughly under
stand the conditions under which they
will be received and that instead of di-
reoting their efforts upon the govern
ment in Washing gton they will rather
seek to influence it through the Ameri-
can people BY means Of an active Boer
propaganda. sSE Es5s,7,

FOR WAYS DARK
 AND TRICKS VAIN The Heather Chinee is Peculiar in Damaging Trade. EXPORTS EAST ENDANGERED Southern Cotton Mills Seriously Affect ed by the Strife in the Celestial
 Kingdom of the Bold,
 Bad Boxers
EXPORTS EAST ENDAN GERED

New York, July 1.-The situation in China is reflected in the export trade in American brown goods or cotton manu- fuctures such as sheetings, drills, flannels and jeans, sent to Shanghai to be distrub- uted to the ports of the Manchuria dis trict. Practically this trade, which means about $1O0OO,0OO annually to Southern cot ton mills. is at a standstill.
 Some exporting houses are still forward ing goods to Shanghai, but the general sen- timent while opposed to pessimism, leans towards prudence until trustworthy news is received from the Pc Chi Lii province, and especially from Pekn.
 The most important word received in the Cotton Exchange district Is that, owing to the disturbances on the Pei Ho and at Pc Hathing, the. warehouses at Shanghai have been filled so that they can take no more goods and that goods arriving there have to go into temporary shelter or under tarpaulins remain afioat.
 An export broker says: "The cotton goods that go to China is what is known brown goods where there are 150 to 200 grades. The trade amounts annually to from $SOOO,OOO to $1OOOO,OOo They are
  port, and go West over the Southern Pa cific and Northern Pacific the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific Roads.
 "All are shipped to Shanghai for distri- button in the markets of the Manchura district at the ports of Che Foo Tien Tsin and Niu Chwang. The shipments are made according to the requirements of de- lveries of the goods at Shanghai.
 ''The present situation affects Northern capital invested in the great mills of the South, in North and South Carolina, Ala bama and Georgia. Arrangements are mak- ing to meet the situation, and in the end no interest will suffer greatly. The trade in general thinks the newspapers too pes simistic and that the difficulties will be strengthened out. Some hold to the opinion and consider the conditions serious, and that it will be a long time before export trade conditions improve"
 Columbia s. C., July u.-Several large cotton mills that have been making spec ially coarse goods almost exclusively for the Chinese trade have, in view of actual and expected curtailment in orders from the East, changed to finer grade.

NEGRO BURGLARS
Many Shots Fired But None Took Effect. Experience of Rowlett and Rosenstihl

At an early hour yesterday morning Desk Sergeant John Rowlett and his uncle, Will liam Rosensthl, with whom he lives at 2325 Fourth Avenue, fired their revolvers at negro burglar who was in the house, but none of the shots took effect.
 When Sergeant Rowett who was out late attending to official duties, reached MT. Rosenstihls s, he saw upon entering the hall a pair of trousers on the floor near the door leading to his room. This at once aroused his suspicion and upon looking out the front door he saw two men standing across the street. He then heard little noise in the parlor, as if some one was moving a chair. In a few seconds he drew his re- volver and fired into the street for the pur- pose of arousng his uncle. The men in the street advanced to the middle of the street. Sergeant Rowlett heard noise in the par Tor again, and he covered the parlor door with his gun, for he was sure then that a thief was there, and a thief it was. MT and Mrs. Rosenstihl had been aroused and the former, after learning the cause of the stir, went for his pistol.
 The sergeant had slipped around to the side window of the parlor. The two men were still in the street, but were too much frightened to render assistance to the burglar inside the house, assuming that they were his pals. When Rowlett went out of the house the burglar slipped into the reception room and was in the act of escaping by a window, when Rosenstihl fired two shots at him. The thief got into the porch and there Rowlett fired at the mans head, but missed. He then advanced up the steps of the porch and fired again, but again missing his mark. He could see that the thief was a negro. The burglar jumped from the porch to the ground and made his escape. Rowlett fired a third shot without effect as the cegro was mak- ing for the alley.
 home. MT Young had been walked By the shooting and was ready with his pistol While Sergeant Rowlett was in pursuit of the thief he ran into MT. Young, and the about to give him dose of lead, when he discovered that it was his neighbor.
 Several residents of the neighborhood were on the street by this time and a sea.-A was made, but the burglar of course, was no where in sight.
 The articles missing from MT. Rosen- stihrs house included two diamond set tings.
 Burglars had visited other houses during Tuesday night.

SELECTING JURY
 IN GOEBEL CASE Only Six Men Were Seated in the JuryBO Yesterday. POWERS ASKS CONTINUANCE His Attorneys Filed Pardon Issued by Ex-Governor Taylor, and Offer
 ed It as a Plea to Bar
 Declared Void

Georgetown, Ky, uly 11.-Judge Cantrill today overruled the motion for a continu- ance in the case of former Secretary of State Caleb Powers. The regular venire of jurymen was called this afternoon, and out of that number only six were seated in the jury box, passing the examination for eligibility for the present case, all of the others being challenged or excused. Those seated In the jury box are. of course, subject to peremptory challenge by either side later on, so there is no certain ty that any of them will finally sit as ju- TOTS in the case They are as follows:
 Personnel of Jury
 w. o. Finder, Democrat, farmer; R. Globe, Democrat, farmer; A. w. Craig Democrat merchcant; A. M Bradley, Re- publican, butcher; R. s. Sprake, Demo- crat. farmer; w. T. Munson Democrat farmer.
 Judge Cantrill then ordered Sheriff Huff to summon an entire venire of 100 men,
 Powers Plea Failed
 Before the jury matter was taken up Powers attorneys filed the pardon isssued to him by ex-Governor Taylor and offered it as a plea to bar. The plea was over ruled, the JuuSe Say iliS. AhS HiSAA"~ courts in this State and in the United States have decided that Taylor was not Governor on March 10 when this pardon was issued It is, therefore, void.' The motion of the defense for continu- ance in the case of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers charged with being access sorry to the Goebel murder, came up before Judge Cantrill at o'clock.
 Commonwealth Attorney Franklin, in presenting the objections on the part of the prosecution, claimed that the defendant had not exercised due diligence to get his witnesses here.
 Brown Speaks for Defense
 Ex-Governor Brown, for the defense, re- pled saying that the affidavits filed show ed abundance of cause for a continuance, and asserted that trial under the circum stances would be so much labor lost the higher courts will certainly reverse the verdict account of error.
 The motion for a continuance was over ruled, the court finding it was the fault of the defense that witnesses are not pres ent. The court notified the defense that they might have attachments issued turnable next Tuesday for all absent wit nesses, and said special bailiffs would be provided and compulsory process granted in order to bring witnesses here if 1t is de- sired. At the afternoon session of the court de- fense filed a special demurrer to the indict- ment against Powers, holding that it is invalid because it names Powers as an cessory and does not name principle.

FUSION FORCES
 GET TOGETHER
(Contlnued From First Page.

Continued From First Page1 Towne addressed the convention for about ten minutes, concluding with an eloquent tribute to Adlai D. Stevenson.
 Just as he concluded w. J. Bryan en- tered the building and for two minutes the convention was wild with enthusiasm. When the delegates quieted down MT. Bry- an said, in part:
 "I believe in this campaign we have bet ter reason to appeal to the people of this state than in any other previous campaign in which we have been engaged If you will take the platforms adopted by the parties you will find that the republican platform has nothing in 1t which appeals to the people of great agricultural state like Nebraska. Look that platform through and you will not find anything in there that reflects the interests or aspira tiens of the people of this state. A distinguished Re- publican of Nebraska said a short time be- fore the Republican national convention of 1896 that Nebraska would give 25,OOO Re- publican majority, no matter what the platform was. I say that Nebraska will give more than 25,O00 against the Republi- can party this year because of the plat form that has been adopted by the Demo- cratic"
 MT. Bryan also spoke before the Populist and Free Silver Republicans the sentiments being of much the same tenor.

that learns this lesson, may be retarded but never defeated
 The real worth of a race, like an indi- vidual, must be tested by the fact whether or not it is able to make itself of such value to the community in the activities of hand, head and heart that the presence of the race is indispensable. It should be the high ambition of every negro to make himself, not a burden, but helper; not a receiver, but giver; not a destroyer, but a producer. With the prodgious in- dustrial development of the South the ne- gro has a golden opportunity. In every corner of the South let it be the aim to give the black man training. coupled with the highest intelligence, in agriculture, the trades, the domestic arts, as a foundation for citizenship.
 These will constsitute the groundwork for higher and more important occupations as the world judges.
 But we, as black people, and you, as white people, should remember that mere material visible possessions however inn portant, will not alone solve our problem, and that education of both races will be a failure unless we keep constantly before us the fact that the final aim of all educa- ton, whether industrial or academic, is to produce goodness of heart, honesty of purpose and that generosity of souA which will make us seek the elevation and free dom of all men, regardless of class or race. The South will prosper in proportion as with development in agriculture, in mines, domestic arts and manufacturing, there goes that education which brings re- spect for law, broadens the heart, sweet ems the nature and makes us feel that we are our 'brother's keeper" whether that brother was born in Eugland, Italy, Af rica or the islands of the seas.
