Invoke Aid for the
Sufferers.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Rev. II. d.
Won Bruckhuisen, of Pretoria, South AZ
rica, the minister who closed the VoIks-
raad with prayer after President Kru-
gers ultimatum had been read to that
body, is in this city His brother, DR..
H. j. Won Bruckhuisen, of the Orange
Free State, who served in the Boer ar
mics, accompanies him. Their mission
in this country is to raise money for
the Boer women and children now in
refugee camps. Rev. DIR. Won Bruckh4i-
sen said in an interview:
"Our women and children, who are at
present concentrated in camps establish
ed by the British are in a horrible con-
dition. 1t was bad enough when [ left
South Africa, but I know from letter
that I have received-one only the other
day from my sister-that it is a hundred
times worse now
When the doctor left South Africa he
said he was virtually lshed by order
of Gen Maxwell NJ ry governor of
Pretoria DIR. Won Rru, 'uisen said fur
ther of the camp an an official re-
port made by DR.. Donald P. -cKenzie,
of the British army on Feb. Is of this
year. the British government is notified
that the conditions are horrible the death
rate appalling, and the food furnished
wholly unfit to eat"
The Afrikanders, Rev. DR.. Won Bruck-
huisen AYERS, will never be overcome, and
all reports to the contrary are false.
The Boer army numbers 1900 to 1900
men, and is constantly being augmented
by Cape Colony Beers. The Boer forces
are now armed with Lee Metford rifles,
he says, and they have tons of ammuni-
ton buried which they can use at any
time against the British.

ARNY SURGEON SUICIDES
SURGEON GENERAL ON GEN. MILES
STAFF AND STARTED "EMBALM-
ED'' BEEF INVESTIGATION
WAS FOUND BY SERVANT
Shot Himself in Right TempIe-Deed
Thought to Have Been
Prompted by In
sOmmia.

PITTSBURG, June '9.-Maj W. H. DAILY,
surgeon general on the staff of Maj. Gen.
Miles in Porto Rico, committed suicide
at his home here today by shooting him
self in the right temple.
The body of the doctor was found in
the bathroom by Miss Mary Short, the
housekeeper lying in a pool of blood, a
92-calibre revolver lying on the floor DR..
Foster, who was summoned at once,
found the bullet hole in the temple, and
announced that death had taken place
several hours before. Miss Short then
remembered hearing a sharp report about
1880 a. M, but thought it was the quick
closing Of a window by some one. No
cause is known for Dalys deed unless
it be that insomnia drove him to tenn
porary insanity. For some time past he
has been unable to sleep regularly, and
it is thought that after a sleepless night
he concluded to end all. The doctor was
a widower and leaves no immediate fam
lily. He was fifty-nine years old and
for many years has been prominent in
medical circles. He gained international
prominence during the Cuban war, as it
was his report to the commanding gen
eral of the army that started the ''em-
balmed beef investigation.

FRENCHMEN ARE CURIOUS
WANT no KNOW 1T FIRING CAN
NON PREVENTS FROST.

WASHINGTON, June 9.--The extensive
reports OF United States consul Covert,
at Lyons, France, relative to the effect Of
cannon firing as q protection for orchards;
and vineyards from hail storr,s, and also
for the purpose of mitigating or nullifv-
ing the effects of frost upon vegetation
have prompted numerous inquiries by
horticultuVists in this country as to when.
if at al, Cur government would adopt
similar methods Of protection.
Prof William MOrre, of the department
of agriculture, acting under the direction
of Secretary Wilson, therefore has issued
to the press the following statement:
After an examination of all that has
passed during the last few years, my
opinion is that It is a popular Illusion
similar to the belief in the moon weather.
The ignorant peasantrY Of Europe seem
70 be looking for something miraculous.
They rather believe in cannonading as a
means Of protection against the weather,
whereas, with a less amount of money.
they might mutually insure against in
evitable events. Such operations would
have to be carried on at too great a scale
to warrant any community or nation
adopting them.
The effects Of a rain storm or tornado
exceeds all the cumulative efforts of
mankind. On account of my experience
OF the past Ten years 1 am 10th to believe
that protection against hail storms will
ever be practical or ever attempted IN
the United States much less encouraged
by the intelligent portion Of the com
munity. Every on should be made to
counteract the spread of the italian de-
fusion which has been imported into this
country by Consul Covert

MILES is NOT SURPRISED.
Attributes DIR. DaIy's Suicide to Ill
Health and bereavement

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Lieut. Gen.
Miles said tonight that he was not sur
prised at the suicide of DR.. DAILY in view
of the great personal bereavement that
the doctor had suffered recently and the
undermining of his health by a severe
attack of the grip last winter. Gen.
Miles esteemed DR. DAILY highly and the
two were intimate friends. His death
came as a severe blow to the general.
DR.. Daily was in the city last March
at the second inauguration of President
Mckinley If Gen. Miles can arrange
matters he will attend the funeral of his
old friend. Surgeon Daily was a deputy
to Assistant Surgeon General Charles r.
Greenleaf on the staff of the command
ing general, during the Spanish-American
war, and Gen Miles testified tonight TO
the thoroughness with which he perform
ed his duties / nattendfng to the wants
of the sick. caring for the wounded and
establishing hospitals. 1t was through
DR.. Daly's allegations that the beef fur
nished to the army had been tampered
with and preserved by means of acids
which he alleged were detrimental to
the health of the soldiers that board
of army inquiries conducted the celebrat-
ed beef inquiry during the Spanish war.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 9-Dr H. It.
Biggar, of this city, the family physician
OF Mr.. John D. Rockefeller in speaking
of Mr.. Rockefeller's recent gift of a
large sum of money for medical research,
said tonight:
'Mr. Rockefeller has placed his sug-
gestion of medical research into the hands
of q number of famous medical scien-
lists among the representatives of Co.
lumbia and Johns Hopkins universities,
the University of Pennsylvania, the Uni
versity of Chicago and other Institutions
These gentlemen will look. over the
ground and make such recommendations
as they regard as practical. Until then
I don't believe Mr.. Rockefeller will form
his plans"
Dr. Biggar then went into detail in re-
viewing the efforts Of the English govern
ment in endeavoring to check tuberculo-
SIS, and the city of Buffalo in the matter
of learning the origin of cancer. and said
that the work would probably be along
this line.

LIKELY TO ACCEPT.
CUBANS WILL PROBABLY AC-
QUIESCE IN PLATT AMEND
NIICNT

HAVANA, June 9.-The, conservative
members of the constitutional convention
are absolutely confident tonight that the
Platt amendment will be accepted, and
that several Radicals will join with the
fifteen delegates who have heretofore vot-
ed in favor OF acceptance The last few
days seem to have brought about q de-
ctded change in the attitude of delegates
who had been bitterly arraigning the
Washington government for changing the
correct Interpretation of the amendment
The strong pressure from the outside
brought to bear upon the convention to
finish It's business and to place the coun-
try on a settled business basis has had
an excellent effect upon the Radicals, in
ducing them to accept the inevitable,
and some Of them now argue that it will
be perhaps better to accept the amend
ment, hoping for some form Of independ-
ence, than to proloug the military oc-
cupation Of the island.
The convention will meet in secret ses-
sion tomorrow, but 1t is expected sew
eral days viii elapse before g vote is
taken.

GALENA, Mo-, June 9.-An unusual
scene is presented here at the prelim-
mary hearing of Mrs. John Stallion, her
father, James Crabtree, and his two sons,
Frank and Charles Crabtree for the
murder of Alice Stallion the woman's
siXteen-year- stepdaughter. The hear
ing is being held in a grove, the two
justices sitting at a table under tree,
and 2C00 people attr tracted from points
for miles around forming a circle about
the court and defendants. Notwithstand-
ing no overt act has yet been attempted,
threats have been made against the
Crabtrees by many Of the strangers in
town, and the county officials are taking
all precautions at their command to pro-
tect the prisoners. Galena is off the rail-
read, and the fact that the 1900 people
would care to come miles to attend the
hearing is considered significant
1t has been decided to exhume the
body of the girl that it may be exam
ined by the doctors to investigate a
theory of the county prosecutor that
criminal assault was made upon her by
one or both of the Crabtreee boys, and
that they killed her to hide the crime.
