The death Of Mrs. Kruger may have

Mr.. Kruger himself has been reported
to be exceedingly Respondent over the

ence between ReitZ and Steyn has JUS
tilted his encouragement. His domes.
tic bereavement may cause him to lose
heart for continuing hopeless strug-
gle. His Dutch physicians have been

was strongly disposed to surrender,
but did not consider himself at lib
erty to do so against the judgment of
Mr.. Kruger General Botha has a fam.
lily to provide for and is without re,
sources. South Africans assert that
he is dependent upon allowances
which Mr.. Kruger has agreed to make
for him if he continues the struggle
SO long as possible There is no prac.
teal method of verifying these ex-
plantations. but this account comes
from South Africans who ought to
know what they are talking about
The newspapers refer in tones of
sympathy to the death of Mrs. Kruger.
II is expec d that the British army
in South Africa will pay to her in
death honors which her former posi-
ton would have demanded.

boundaries show marked increase in
the fiscal year just ended, and exceed
those OF any other year in the history
OF our commerce, according to a Wash

This is especially interesting in view

Growth OF exports from the United

Put to Work.
Pittsburg. July 23.-The strike sit
uation is practically the same as Oh
Saturday, Wellsville and Mckeesport
being the points around which the in
terest centers and any new develop
ment will, no doubt emanate from
these places.
The rumored accession to the force
Of the men to the Wellsvile plant diu
not take place and the 20 local men
who have stuck to the company went
70 work during the morning as usual.
1t is expected, however. that the
company will endeavor to increase
this number within the next few hours.
Color is given to this by a report that
the manufacturers Of the Pittsburg
mills held a secret meeting in this city
last Saturday, where. after a delibera-
don on the situation they decided
that, owing to the weakness Of Wells
vile as an Amalgamated stronghold,
they would start up that mill. In
this they feel sanguine of success.
The strikers at Wellsville have been
watching very closely all the move
ments and close scrutiny is kept
upon the railroad stations for any
strangers that might come into the
town. None, however, have as yet
appeared and the vigilance is kept M
in the most orderly manner and With
out any hostile demonstration.
No Change at Other Points.
AT Mckeesport everything is black
The Devices Wood company did not
make any attempt to go into opera
ton as Was expected. RumOrs Of
great moment were rife throughout
sunday and unusual excitement man
ifested itself. 1t was stated that the
company would bring in new men a.d
the strikers were watching every i'll
gress to the city. Hundreds Of men
were parading the streets, watching
the railroads and even watching the
river bank, because it was said that
the men would be brought in by boat
up the MonOngahela river.
significant feature here is that the
men, instead OF leaving the place and
going into camp or taking holiday
in some other manner, are all remain
ing and keeping an eye on every
movement that is being made at the
mill. This demonstration on the part
OF the men, while all is done in an
orderly manner and the orders of the
Amalgamated officials are being
obeyed. is looked upon as ominous, be-
cause if the company should make an
attempt to bring new men into the
mill, it is not unlikely that the strik-
ers will make resistance.
The situation throughout Allegheny
and Pittsburg in the strike district
was about the same as Saturday. Con
trary to general expectations. no effort
was made to run any of the plants.
