WHAT BECAME OF THE GUNs7
Mystery Surrounds the Disappear.
ance of the Bocrx' Heavy Can.
non In South Africa.

Now that the war in South Africa
is nearly over, it would be interesting
to know what became Of those cele-
brated "long toms" and other big
siege guns which made life in the be-
sieged cities of Ladysmith, Kimberley
and Mafeking SO uncomfortable for
awhile. These guns seem to have fallen
off the earth. While the Beers were
in command of the railways of the re-
gion it would have been easy enough
for them to have spirited the guns
away, but in the close of the fghts
the British fell upon the retreating
farmers with an energy which cut
them off from the railways near the
besieged cities that had been so har.
assed by the guns. Now, where are
the guns?
1t is morally certain that all tho
bigsiege guns which kept people awake
nights at Kimberley, Mafeking and
Lacysmith were not carried to where
the remnants of the Boer army are
fighting. Neither at Paardeberg, La
dysmith, Kimberley nor Mafeking was
one of these celebrated guns captured.
What has become of them is one Of
the problems which Lord Roberts 10
trying to figure out. 1t is not at all
probable that the Beers had u heavier
gun i'll their siege train than a FIVE
inch piece. That is the caliber of an
ordinary siege gun. That they did have
guns of that caliber, or nearly that
seems certain from the accounts re-
ceived during the war of the artillery
due!s between the British naval -four
point seven" guns and the big siege
guns of the Beers. The ''tlitting" Of
these heavy guns seems almost inex-
plicable. The British believe that
the Beers have hidden them away
somewhere in the vast territory which
for them assiduously, but so far with.
out success.
Though the guns of the Creusot
pattern arc lighter, it is said, in pro-
portion to their caliber than the older
type they cannot be of much less
weight, and in the old type the wheels
of siege carriage alone weighed over
$50 pounds. Then there is all the par
aphernalia which goes with siege
gun, all weighing heavily. TO cause
the disappearance of all this heavy
material so that no trace of it can DO
found is marvellous piece of work.
For awhile "Oom" Paul persuaded his
followers that miracles We're being
worked for the benefit Of the Beers,
but the British never believed in Q
special thispensation for Mr.. Kruger
until they realized that they could not
find the big siege guns. The manner
in which they were spirited away was
marvellous. If anyone should see .

in his possession suitable reward will
be paid by Gen. Roberts. provided. the
Boer will tell how he did it.

ROBERTS PROMOTED.
The Famous Warrior Has nccn APP
pointed Comma II der i'm Chief of
the british Army.

London, Oct. lit is officially an
nounced that Lord Roberts has been
appointed commander in chief of the
British army. Although the fact that
the appointment had been made was
already known, the formal announces
ment is hailed by the unionist party
as a welcome pledge that army re-
organization will be carried out in the
most effective manner. Mr.. George
Wyndham, parliamentary under sec
rotary of state for war, IN his speech
at Derby this evening, will outline the
governments scheme of army reforms,
and the war office is arranging
with Lord Roberts for the return of
a large portion of the army in South
Africa.
The Times, in an editorial reference
this morning to the appointment Of
Lord Roberts as commander in chief,
hints that Lord Kitchener will come
home to assist him at his new post.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Recent Attacks in Which Alleged
Amigos Are Thought to
Have Taken Part,

Manila, Oct. 1.-The Filipinos in the
vicinity of Manila have been more
quiet of late, although last Wednes-
day night there were brisk attacks at
Las Pinas and Jaranaque, south of
Manila, us well as outpost firing at
linus, Bacoor and Muntin Lupa. The
American officers are satisfied that
the alleged amigos living in and
around the towns in question partici-
pated in these attacks. Official re-
ports have been received of insurgent
activity in Zambalos province and in
Batangas province. Two skirmishcs
occurred during the week on the Bicol
river, in the province of South Cam
arines. 1t is estimated that the in
surgents lost 80 killed in the various
districts. Two civilians, John McMa-
hon and Ralph McCord, of San Fran
cisco, who started on business trip
for Vigan and Bangucd, in northern
Luzon, have not been heard from for
three weeks. 1T is feared that they
have been killed or captured by the
insurgents.

SAD SCENE In CHURCH.
The Venerable Pastor In Stricken
with Death In the Presence Of
His Congregations.

New York, Oct. l.--Rev. Dir. Gilbert
II. Gregory passed away Sunday in the
presence of his congregation at the
morning service in ST. Stephens NJ. L.
church, Marble Hill, at the upper end
of Manhattan island. Physicians had
urged DR.. Gregory to retire from active
church work. as he had long been u
sufferer from heart trouble. They told
him that he might live for years if he
would cease labor. but if he continued
10 work he was LA BILE to be stricken at
any moment. AS late as Saturday DR..
Darlington. of Kings Bridge, who was
attending DR.. Gregory. warned him
against preaching Sunday. The cler-
gyman said to his physicians: 81 prefer
to meet death in that way 10 retiring
and Sinking my duty in order to live
longer"
DR.. Gregory was 63 years old lie
had not preached in ST. Stephens for
three Sundays on account of heart at
tacks. but when word was passed
around that he would resume his du-
ties Sunday the church was filled.
The service had progressed to the
singing OF hymn which preccdes the
sermon. DR.. Gregory arose and read
three verses of the hymn, beginning:
Love, divine. all love eNce.liny." While
the music of the anthem filled the
church DR.. Gregory was noticed to seat
himself and then fall limp over one
OF the arms of the chair. Members of
the congregation went to his assist
ance and two physicians who happened
10 be passing the church were called
in. They saw at once that the minis
ter was beyond human aid. and in five
minutes from the time that he was
stricken DR.. Gregory was dead.
DR.. Gregory was born in Medina. N.
y. His first pastorate was al Corn
-on-the-Hudson. He was at the
Forty-third Street Methodist church
in this city from 1876 to 1879 and at he

A NOVEL SCHEME.
Company Formed I'm Grand Rapids,
Mich, to Insure Nations
Against War.

Grand Rapids. Mich. Oct. 3.-Arti-
cles will be flied at Lansing to-day by
Homer L. Boyle. of Grand Rapids, for
the Incorporation of what the organiz-
er believes is destined to be the most
gigantic institution of the twentieth
century. The object of the proposed
company is nothing less than to in
sure nations against war, and that the
plan is not entirely without merit is
attested by the fact that Mr.. Boyle
has succeeded in interesting some of
the foremost men, of Grand Rapids and
Michigan in the project, who are aid
ing the organization, not only with in
fuence of their names, but with their
cash. Among the officers are Mayor
Perry, of Grand Rapids; Congressman
Hamilton and w. A. Smith, United
States Senator j. c. Burrows, c. S.
HazlNine, ex4Consulto Milan; Judge A.
Morse, ex-Consul to Glasgow, and 9TH
ers of like caliber.
The scheme is based upon popular
stock membership at one dollar per
share. the idea being to gain such a
large constituency in every country on
earth as to make it practical neces-
shty for the several nations to take out
policies. dividend upon stock is
promised from any surplus in the
treasury over certain sum to be main
famed for payment of policies. Ma
tons will bs insured in The same manner
as individuals in ordinary insurance
companies. and their assessments shall
go to constitute this fund. In case of
any dispute among nations a board, of
arbitration is supposed TO take charge
of the matter before diplomatic ex-
changes have reached critical stage,
and make an award.

Beers Coming to This Country.

St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The Globe
says: Hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of Beers will emigrate from
South Africa to the United States and
settle in the northwest. Theodore
Vongrec!,t. of Holland, who has of late
years made his home in South African
republic, is in St. Paul to arrange sat-
isfactory railroad rates over the west
ern lines. Mr.. Vongrecht will bring a
large contingent of Beers to this coun-
try in the spring, if conditions are
favorable. There are hundreds and
thousands Of Beers, he says, who are
anxiously awaiting opportunity to
leave their present environments and
embark for another land.

Miners Stnn1l Firm.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-No break has
yet occurred in the ranks of the
striking mine workers, though addi-
tional notices of the offer of an in
crease of ten per cent. in wages were
posted throughout the region. In fact
there are many indications of an in
tent on the part of the strikers to
insist on other concessions and to also
remain out until the operators give
recognition to their national organi-
cation.
At Shenandoah all the local branches
of the United Mine Workers held
meetings and selected delegates to
convention to be called later by Pres
ident Mitchell. This is the first an
nouncement of the selection of con-
vention delegates. The entire region
was quiet and very few mines were
in operation.
Mitchell Is CONFIDENT.
Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 3.-President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has written national headquarters here
that he is confident of securing greater
concessions than those offered by the
anthracite coal companies and the rail-
road companies for the striking miners
in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Mitchell says the
railroads hold the key to the situation
and it is useless to deal with individual
operators. 1t is felt at headquarters
that an advance of 20 per cent. would
mean nothing under a sliding scale, as
the operators could reduce the price of
coal. 1t is also felt that the concession
offered on the price OF powder is not
satisfactory and means nothing.
Want Union Recognized.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept. 3.-The coal
operators of the Wyoming valley who
posted notices at their colleries Mon
gay night notifying their employees
of ten per cent. increase in wages,
had no information from their men
Tuesday as to whether the offer
would be accepted or not. They
thought the strikers were too busy
with the parade and mass meeting to
take any action. The operators are
in no hurry and will wait the pleas
ure of the strikers. The miners, how
ever, have about made up their minds
that they will not consider the offer.
The increase, they say, is mere
trifie and not worthy of considera-
ton. The fact that the operators
have made what appears to be a
studied effort to ignore the union
miners is what aggravates the strik-
ers most. They say it is useless to
talk of a settlement unless the pres
idents of the big coal companies make
up their minds to recognize the union.
Disposition of Troops.
Shenandoah, Pa, Oct. 3-Gen. Goblin
on Tuesday expressed himself as I'M
certain when the next movement of
troops from here would take place.
Numerous communications have been
sent to Gov. Stone by residents of this
locality urging him to keep the troops
here, expressing the fear that their
departure would be followed by law
lessness. These letters have been for
warded to Gen. Goblin, who is making
| every effort to secure definite infor-
nation concerning the conditions in
all parts of the region before sending
any more troops away. The one COM
many of the Twelfth regiment left be-
hind when the regiment left for home
Monday will depart to-day.
