with shocking death above Lew

way with his twO-horse team to a
mill in the mountains. He

filled with cars and Mr.. Jordan
drove on the tracks without motto

further mangled thereby. Both
legs were crushed off, both arms
broken and his head crushed.

horses were killed, one of them
lodging under the extension fire

There was crowd at the depot when Ad-

Admiral Dewey dulled the edge of his popu-
larity soon after he came home. When he an
nounced himself for the presidency in the
manner he chose he killed himself as a
popular idol with those who, under sny
other circumstances. would have made his
coming to Chicago today a notable scene of
triumph. The arrangements for the ad.

The reception ball will be well attended.

Mr.. Grfscom Has Not Transmitted the
Porte's Reply.

It was stated this afternoon that Mr..
Griscom, the United States charge at Con-
stantinople. had not yet acquainted the
State Department with the nature of the
reply made by the porte to his last repre-
sentation touching the American indem-
nifty claims. so 1t Is presumed that he him
self has not yet received the answer.
There Is some reason to believe that q
powerful effort is being put forth by the
Turkish government to compromise the
missionary claims unofficially. Various
methods have been suggested as avenues
for the contamination of this purpose, but
the one which is looked upon as most feas-
ible is that connected with the building of
a warship for Turkey in the United States.
II the claimants chose to receive the
amount of their claims from an American
shipbuilder instead Of through the State
Department, thereby removing from the
department the basis for further prosecu-
ton of its demand upon the porte, some
interesting points of international law
might be raised 1t would seem that once
committed to the State Department an
International claim cannot be withdrawn
without the consent of the department

CrOss-Examfned Regarding His Use OF
the Troops.

the Troops.
Brig. Gen. Merriam was again on the
stand in the Occur d'Alene investigation to-
day. with Attorney Robertson conducting
the cross-examination.
Would you consider it right asked Mr..
Robertson, that federal troops force men
at the point Of the bayonet to protect the
property of the mine owners, and that SIM
liar protection be withheld from the men?'
Il would use just as much power and Just
as much influence" replied Gen. Merriam,
ito have mine owners observe their obliga-
tions as to compel the mine men to observe
theirs
A number of questions were asked in
rapid succession, creating a confusion in
the answers and Representative Parker of
New Jersey protested that the witness be
not interfered with while making an an
swer.
Mr.. Robertson responded that as counsel
he was conducting the cross-eXamination
and he did not intend to have the witness
run over him
And 1 am one of the judges replied Mr.
Parker, land l have the right to see that
the witness is not interrupted"
Gen. Merriam said he had repeatedly
stated that he never pronounced the unions
of the Occur dAlene district criminal or
ganizations.

CONDITIONS OF HoER ARMY.
Details Alleged to Have Been Obtain
ed From an Ofictal.

LONDON. April 30.-The Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Morning Post, tele-
graphing Friday, says:
From a Boer official in the commissariat
have obtained some interesting details.
The Beers had in December GooO0 men, In
March they had barely 2j.5OO, having lost
5000 in killed or wounded and 6,400 in cap
tured. The others are not accounted for,
but have probably returned to their farms.
The official who gave the information pre-
diets that the approach of winter will pro-
duce further wholesale shrinkage.
HE says the Beers are short of wagons.
wheat and smokeless powder. but that they
have plenty of other stores and of rifle
ammunition. They are no. likely, however,
to offer serious resistance. as they possess
no positions this side of Pretoria that are
not capable of being turned by the British
army. Moreover. the Vaal river offers no
protection. because it is fordable every
dozen miles or so. The official thinks a
determined advance by the British would
lead the Beers to destroy the Johannesburg
mines. Their cleverest general. he says, is
Delarey, although Botha is a man of great
ability. None of the Boer commanders. in
his opinion. can he compared with the late
General JOubert.
