These include 100 plots of ground
which have been used for intermcnt.

burial grounds. of which the largest is
eleven acres and the smallest a few

Among the recreation grounds are
shady and well-kept gardens with

which form such valuable grounds for
foot ball and cricket; little resting
places under the shadow Of the city
churches, and vacant plots of lane in
odd corners of the metropolis, which
have been turned into recreation
grounds instead of being used as build

New York, Sept. 21.-Herbert l..

relief expedition of this year, and the
young men who accompanied him

Mrs. Peary and her little girl. who was

"Peary will start for the pole from

PLOT TO MURDER PRESIDENT
MATCHED MANY MONTHS AGO

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 22.-Investiga-
tons made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling POSSIBLE
ty that n plot to assassinate President
Mckinley was laid n year or more
ago, before he was elected for his sec
ond term, and that 1t may have been
laid in Oregon township. where the
Czolgosz family lived. a remittance
made to the assassin by his brother,
Waldeck CZolgosz, about a month ago,
led to the investigation that may have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police
have been strong in their belief that
there was a plot. One of the strong
elements in their belief has been the
fact that the handkerchief hy which
the assassin concealed the hand in
which he held his weapon, was n wom-
ans handkerchief. What Is more i'm
portant Is hat the handkerchief was
bound about the hand in a way that
he. it is said. would not have been
able to tie 1t himself.
The fact that CZolgosZ had money
impelled the detective to try 20 learn
whence got il. Yesterday his brother
Waldeck confessed to having sent it
to Leon under the name of Frank Sny-
der, at West Seneca. New York.

LONDON NEWSPAPERS
CRITICISE BOER YAH

London, Sept. 22.-While Kruger and
DIR. I.eyds are drawing up petitions to
President Roosevelt and the Car ask
ing them to intervene, the fighting
Beers are helping themselves in South
Africa by celebrating the expiration of
the period in which Lord Kitchener
proclaimed they must surrender by
four notable successes, killing sixty
eight officers and men. wounding six
ty-three and capturing five guns and
300 men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war W years ago. the
names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht. where Major
Cough was e%ntrappcd. WAS the scene
of n similar ambuscade eighteen
months back. Acton Homes. where
the Beers yesterday reappeared, is
eighteen miles southwest of Lady
smith, prominent in the early HOSTILE
ties. and the Natal c%olouials are mus
tering for the defense of the Tugela,
as when General Joubert invaded Ma
tai in 1899.
In Cape Colony fighting is again GO
ing on south of Stormberg, in terri
tory traversed by raiders and their
pursuers half n dozen times.
The governments publication of
these rSverscs causes an outburst Of
evaporation against the conduct of
the war, not in South Africa, but by
the ministry. The great ministerial
journals accuse the government of try.
ing to run the war "on the cheap by
not providing Lord Kitchener with suf-
ficient rcsources.
The Times, while 1t has no misgiv.
ings as to the final issue. accuSes the
home authorities of lack of organized,
sustained effort, of Il disposition TO
postpone military for financial consid-
erations, and of failure to grasp the
moral and intellectual damage which
