TERMS FOR BOERS.
Report That "UnconditionaI surren-
der'' Policy Nns Becn Modified.

Report That "Unc0nditionaI surren-
der, Policy Has necn Nodded.
London, March 13.-The Daily News
this morning makes the following i'm
portant statement:
I'VE understand that the government
greatly modified the unconditional sur
render policy. We believe Lord Kitch-
ener has been authorized to offer am
nesty to both the Beers and the Boer
leaders, except where treachery is clear
ly proved. Cape rebels only are to be
punished by disfranchisement.
Loans are to be granted to the Beers,
for rebuilding and restocking their
farms; and finally the government will
offer to establish some kind Of civil
government so soon as all the COM
mandoes have surrendered.
It's form will probably be that of a
crown colony, but with an important
concession, which Sir Alfred Miner ad-
vises, namely, council including
Beers of position like General Botha,
General Lucas Meyer and Mr.. Schalk-
Burger"
A report is current that the govern
ment anticipates a speedy announce
ment of the surrender of General Botha,
the Boer commander in-chef. Inquiries
made at the war Office show the off,
cials here have no recent news of the
surrender negotiations. They think
the armistice expires on March IA, and
are inclined to believe that General
Bothai will surrender. But the officials
are doubtful in regard to the other Boer
in the field.
A dispatch from General Kitchener
dated Pretoria March IL, says that
General DeWet is north of Brandfort
(Orange River colony. Continuous
rains have interfered with the move
ments of the troops in Cape Colony.
Two bands of Beers are being hunted
among the hills by troops under Cor
ringe, Delisle, Grenfell, and Henniker.

Mitchell called the convention of the

Mitchell was asked to make statement
he said: 1.-THE conditions are too Sc
rious for me to add to them by words"
The mine operators Of the anthracite
region were not in attendance Presi-
dent Mitchell in his address said he
hoped all of the operators in this re-
gion would follow the example set by
the bituminous operators and meet
their men in joint conference. Presi-
dent Mitchell declined the offer of the
miners of the anthracite field regarding
the collection of funds by them for the
purpose of a home for his occupancy.
He suggested that the money be used
for the erection of monument in
of the men who fell four years
ago at Lattimer.

The Germans captured the Chung
Shun pass, between the provinces of

fighting. This result was brilliantly
achieved by the Bavarian battalion,
which marched one hundred and twen-
ty-five miles from Pao-Ting- Flu in four
days through mountains and over diff
cult mule tracks.
The Chinese held an apparently i'm
pregnable position on the Great Wall at
the highest part of the pass. They had
several thousand troops and artillery of
all descriptions. The Germans attack
ed them with six hundred infantry and
two howitzers. The turning movement,
over an almost impossible country. oc-
cuped seven hours and was completely
successful. The Chinese fled into the
province of Shan-Si, leaving at the
least hundred dead and four Hotch-
kiss guns. The victroy will have an
excellent moral effect, as the Chinese

left This Number on Field I'm suiing
Pass Fight.

Berlin, March 12.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Count Won Waldersee.
"Pekin, March lin the fight west
of Suling Pass we had only one slightly
wounded The Chinese left 250 dead on
the field. Our cavalry, with four quick
firers, pursued the Chinese twenty
miles, A battalion remains at Fen
Ping and westward from the great wall
in order to prevent a return of the Chi
nese troops"
Official circles in Berlin declare that it
is impossible to judge here exactly what
leads to the Chinese activity around the
great wall. The Russian papers are
spreading reports that the movement
there is engineered by General Tung Flu
Hsiang and Prince Tuan for the re-
conquest os Manchuria.
On the other hand, 1t is believed in
Berlin that the Chinese troops near the
great wall have but slight power of
resistance, as the report of Colonel Lee
deburs engagement seems to Indicate
1t is also believed that these Chinese
troops are inferior to those sent against
the allies before the capture Of Pekin.
The statement that Russia insists up
on China's signature to the Manchurian
convention rests upon the Chinese au-
thorities, but Germany has no reason to
suppress such information and the fact
remains that the arrangements have
not yet been signed

senate was interesting in view of the
recent petition for the communication of
the sentence of Murderer Storti, DOOM

One of the arguments in favor of his
communication was that the state should
not execute a man on the eve of the
passage of the act abolishing the death
penalty. The debate on woman suff-

STR EE1 RAILWAY PETITIONS.
A Hearing Before the Committee Last
Night.

The committee on railroads and
bridges last night held hearings on the
petitions Of the Fair Haven and West
vile Railroad company for permission
to double track its line between Gran
mis- Corner and the East Haven town
line and for permission to remove and
relocate tracks on Chapel street, be-
tween Church and College streets; for
permission to lay tracks in George
street, between Sherman avenue and
Norton street, and to connect the Win
chester avenue line tracks and the State
street line tracks at Union depot.
John K. Punderford, representing the
Fair Haven and Westville company,
stated that the traffic ON the Branford
line Is so heavy that the company is
unable to handle it with convenience to
the public on single track. He said
that sometimes cars are held ten or fif-
teen minutes waiting on turnouts for
cars going in the opposite direction to
pass. East Haven has already given
permission to lay double tracks up to
the town line between East Haven and
New Haven. He said that the Bran
ford line brings thousands Of dollars
into New Haven, and said that the
double tracking was asked for in order
that the Branford cars may be kept
running. on time.
Edward l.. Phelan, Councilman Brad
ley, Theodore H. Macdonald, M. r.
Stanley and Richard M. Sheridan ap-
peared and spoke in favor of granting
the permission to double track. Henry
Donovan thought that the permission
should be granted, but that some con-
ditions should be attached. Anthony
Carroll objected to granting anything
to the street railroad company until
they pay their debts to the city,

the removal would cost the company
considerable money and would be

Chicago, March 12--Charles A. Car
yer, Yale 1900, who while senior last
June scored 2,371.2 points in strength
test, to-day issued the following denials
to statements made by Dr. Sargent Of
Harvard:
1T is untrue that 1 used harness in
going through with my test. I follow
ed the same system that is followed in
making the test at Harvard. Suppos-
ing, for the sake of argument, that
had used harness and straps. They
would have benefited me only in the
back lift, and in this test my marks
were excelled by the Harvard men. On
the other hand, in the test for the chest
and upper arms, measured by chins
and dips in proportion to ones weight,
my total was far ahead of that of the
Harvard men. My figures were 1888
and the Harvard mems SOB. In this test
harness would have been of no service
to me-
Neither is 1t true that I visited the
Harvard gymnasium to get pointers
about DR.. Sargent's system 1 have
never been in Harvard gymnasium
The fact of the matter Is this whole af-
fair Is the result of the feeling between
Drs. Sargent and Seaver. However, L
may get chance to settle the question
next fall. / am thinking of entering the
Harvard law school, and if do I want
to see whether my strength test will
be accepted then"

New York, March 12.--The two ad-

surrogate to take charge Of the prop
erty in this state left by George Fran
els Gilman who died recently at Black
Rock, Conn, have begun to make an
inventory Of all the Gilman property In
this state. Charles FL. Bush. attorney
for the administrators, said to-day that
no definite estimate of the value Of the
property in this state could be made
until the inventory had been COM
pleted.
$50 far we have not been able to as
certain Mr.. Bush said, whether or
not Mr. Gilman had a safety deposit
vault, but we expect that some valua-
BILE papers concerning the disposition Of
his estate will be discovered in the safes
of his offices. We do not think, how
ever, that any will is likely to be
found Mr. Gilman was averse to MAX
ing wills or doing anything else that re-
minded him of death. The next legal
step will be taken at Bridgeport on
March IS. Application will then be
made to have Mr. Norton appointed as
in Connecticut as well as
in New York.
Possibly something may come to
light then concerning counter-claims, If
any such claims are to be made. Up to
now we have heard Of none, except the
printed In the newspapers. Mrs.
Hall has not yet come forward as a
claimant to part of the estate. When
we went to Black Rock on Saturday to
take possession there she made no diff

that Mr.. Gilman made a will is absurd.

that no such document was left"
