More Railroad Talk.

Delay in the completion of the
preliminaries for the construction OF
the new line to the Black Hills from
Aberdeen, through Pierre, to Rapid
City and other Hills points is said
TO be due to the delay in completing
the working details of the Burling-
ton deal, says. the Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
While the new line was begun as
. project independent of all other
Systems, it was later announced
that one of the big northwestern
systems had become interested and
stood ready to purchase the road as
soon as it was completed. 1t was
also understood that in the sale Of
the bonds and other preliminaries
1some Of the bigger elements in the
railroad world would assist the new
line to the Hills. So far had these
negotiations proceeded that the pro-
moters were confident that the first
installment Of cash would be ready
several weeks ago.
The report is now current that
President ]. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, is the man interested in
the project and that the plans form

Britain has thus far failed to crush
the Boer patriots, and this failure
has resulted in the adoption by the
English government Of the recon
centrado cruelites of Spain. This
policy in South Africa is yielding
the same fruits of starvation and
death among the Beers as It yield
ed to the Cubans under Spanish
authority in 1896 and 1897. Not
in the balmiest days Of Weylerism
in Cuba did the Spanish journals
at home condemn the policy, yet

more humane and reputable jour :
nails in London are loud in their
protest against its continuance by
the English government.
The London Daily News of last
Sunday says in referring to these
horrors:
"The truth is that the death
rate in the camps is incomparably
worse than anything Africa or Asia
can show. There is nothing 10
match it in mortality figures of the
Indian famine where cholera and
other ~epidemics have to be con-
tended with"
Statistics are produced in proof
of this assertion.
The English governments add
%vertisement for teachers for the
camp children, setting forth that
"the term Of employment will be
one year certain" is prominently
displayed as evidence that the au-
thorities have no intention of .send-
ing the wholesale destruction of
human life."
The Daily News urges all hui
name men not to wait for official
reports, but to insist on ssthe
camps being broken up and the
people distributed among their
friends or removed 10 the districts

the strike had been settled were In circula-
ton yesterday afternoon in Wall Street. These
ports came from Pittsburg, Chicago and other
Western points we'll from Boston. and their
persistency caused them to be received with more
than passing attention.

ton II was said that President Schwab had gone
home but that no official advices dealing with the
settlement of the strike had been received from
President Shafrer of the Amalgamated Associa ton,
or from any other official of that organization At
the Office OF ]. p. Morgan & Co. word came out
that I'VE have heard nothing about settlement of
