BOERS KILLING KAFFIRS.
Kitchener Charges the Burghers With
COIh-BloOded Murders.


A dispatch from London yesterday says:
Mr.. Brodrick the British war secretary,
speaking tonight at a banquet given in
London in his honor by the City Carlton
Club, declared that the Beers We're hiding
their tracks by numbering Kaffirs behind
them.
Lord Kitchener wired today" he con-
tinued, that the cold-blooded murder of
natives had become frequent of late, and
that two dead natives, their hands tied
behind their backs, were found November
10 at the bottom of mine shaft.
Later in his speech Mr.. Brodrick said
Great Britain now had A. 900 Beers in GUS
tCdy in the concentration camps and on
various islands, and that 1000 more had
been killed or wounded, or had left the
country on parole He added that he be-
lieved the number of Beers now in the field
was about 10000
The country has set it's teeth and in
tends to go through the process of wear
ing down." he proclaimed. I'VE intend to
provide Lord Kitchener with fresh troops
to replace the tired ones. Only today a
certain colony made an offer of help
Mr.. Brodrick explained that four battal-
ions and two cavalry regiments would be
drawn from India for service in South
Africa.
Mr.. Brodrick said he was sorry anything
had happened to affect the career of Sir
Redvers Butler, and he assured the COM
pany that the deafness of Sir Evelyn Wood
was not bar to the work that officer had
to do as commander of an army corps.
The London stock exchange and the con-
tiEental bourses were flooded today with
peace rumors One story was to the ef-
feet that the fighting burghers were ignor-
ing their leaders and were negotiating with
Lord Kitchener direct. Another report had
| t. that General Botha, with 600 men, was
surrounded, and that his position was hope
less. These runners had the desired effect
OF causing an advance in prices Of stocks
but there was no official warrant for any
of them.
The war. secretary declared also that
neither Sir Evelyn Wood nor the Duke of
Connaught was to be regarded as a peace
general. because wherever their army corps
went they also would 60 He further an
nounced that Sir Archibald Hunter would
be appointed to the command of another
army corps when this was formed.
General Sir Butler, formerly in command
OF the troops in South Africa, who was
recalled at the beginning of the campaign
against the Beers, is at last having his
merits recognized. According to the Daily
Chronicle, he has accepted the offer of an
appointment as president Of the most i'm

Young Man Accused of Crime.

Speclal correspondence OF The Evening Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, November ii, 1901.
Yesterday morning as Mrs. Ellis, who
lives on the Hogan farm near here, was
coming along the road by the Oakwood
cemetery, and when near that point a
young white man approached and accosted
her, asking the way to Alexandria. Aftet
directing him he made an indecent proposal
to the woman and upon her indignant re-
fusal, he struck her over the head with
a stick. A fierce struggle ensued, she
screaming for help. Mr.. Irving Murray
heard her outcry and came to her assist
ance, when the man ran off '.
The authorities of the town were at once
notified and a description was given Mayor
w. NJ. Ellison of the suspected party.
Sergeant Swift was directed to look out
for the man. Raymond Newton was soon
after taken into custody and on being
confronted by Mrs. Ellis, it is said, she
positively identified him as the guilty
party. Young Newton was committed to
jail last night and will have hearing to-
day before Mayor Ellison.
A largely attended meeting of Pioneer
Lodge of Good Templars was held at Odd
Fellows Hall Tuesday night. Addresses
were made by DR.. Geo. B. Fadely and Rev
Edward Eells, an instrumental selection
given by Mrs. NJ. NJ. Erwin; a solo and

on what is known as the repair track He
was standing upon some broken cars, Civ
ing the signal for the train to go forward,
and his signal was answered by the for
ward man, when in some way he fell under
the cars and was dragged a distance
of at least two hundred yards. When found
he was Dead his body being badly man
gled. He had been braking in the yards for
some time and was well known there by all
the railroad men. His father is in the en-
ploy of the company there also. His wife
survives him.
The grading on the new improvements of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad between
Reels mills, just east of Frederick juno
ton, and Mount Airy, have been completed

GEARY LAW SHOULD STAND.
Chinese Have Lower Standards of Life
and Different Habits of Thought.

IL
and Different Habits of Thought.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Whatever the motives of the labor lead
ers, and in their moods the rest of the
country is not always able to participate
the general verdict of the nation will be
found to favor the existing rule in regard
to the Chinese. The generosity of the re-
public has been great. 1t has opened it's
doors to the people of every nationality and
race, and it's hospitality from time to time
has been openly abused. That we are ali
rather recent arrivals needs to be recog-
nized and it is difficult for those who have
first come TO discriminate with grace
against those who were not fortunate
enough to arrive in better season. The
colonies out of which these states grew
were established as a haven and asylum
for the oppressed of older lands. This
liberal idea lies at the basis of our politi-
cal and social civilization, and we do not
mean that the lOng-standfng tradition shall
be departed from.
We are on this account, however, not free
from obligation to ourselves regarding inn
migration. No rule of necessity or policy
can justify us in receiving the criminals or
paupers Of other lands. We are not COM
PEELED to take their anarchists. This is
white mans country and our doors need
not remain open for other races II their
coming here may seem to be fneXpedient or
dangerous to the rights Of the people al
ready settled inside our national borders
Each nation has within itself the sover-
eign power of protecting lis own life, apd
whenever it is capable of3fexercisifig this
power we may depend upon it that it will
do SO promptly and effectively BY the
immigration of the Chinese, who have
lower standards of life and different views
Of civilization, we shall also be inviting
racial unpleasantness which win be for the
best interest neither of the Chinese them
selves nor of the white men of America.
cording to the French phrase, is the step
that costs. We have received all the pro-
tests and stirred up all the unfriendliness
which China has to bestow. We are ex-
Guiding the Chinese. Let us continue to
exclude them by re-enacting the Geary law
without giving it time to expire.

The P. Dougherty Company of Baltimore
Tuesday last purchased the lumber barge
Josephine for service in their feet Of tugs
and bay barges. This vessel was once the
George Leary, the queen of the Chesapeake,
and showed her heels to anything afioat
on the Chesapeake and Potomac, while her
luxurious appointments and speed were the
talk of first-class passengers between the
northern and southern states. The George
Leary was a side-wheel steamboat, built in
Brooklyn in 1854. She was of the old type
of steamboats,, with low and long, narrow
bow. She was 237 feet long and but 33
feet wide.
The vessel was palace when she was
built and had a fourteen-knot speed At
first she ran on the Hudson river. Then she
ran as an opposition for the Old Bay line
between Baltimore and Norfolk. Afterwards
the Bay line purchased her Later she ran
on the Potomac between Washington and
Norfolk. Next she ran colored excursions
on the Potomac. In 1890 she was bought
by Mr.. John Roney of Baltimore, who strip
ped her and converted her into a lumber
barge.

A contract is said to have been awarded
for the building of the most remarkable
automobile ever seen in this or any other
country. The man who gave the order for
the machine refuses to allow his name to
be made public at this time because he
gave conditional order. 1t is said that
those who have guaranteed to build the
machine have accepted the conditions. The
automobile is to have a speed of seventy
miles an hour on level roads. If this speed
can be attained, the price for the automo-
bile completed is to be $4,000. Among
those said to be interested In the experi-

Representative Chaffee has introduced
another anti-cigarette. bill-No. 1877
and It possesses merit. It aims princi-
pally at the policy of selling cigarettes
er cigarette papers to minors or for the
use OF minors. Cigarette smoking is in
furious enough for older persons-it is
rank poison for boys. This is not senti-
Inent or the conclusion of a crank re-
former. It is a scientific fact attested by
the highest medical authority. 1t is an
open question if cigarette smoking isn't
q greater curse than liquor drinking
when INDUCED in by boys. In fact the
use OF cigarettes usually precedes the
drinking habit. The cigarette habitue
seems to cravess strong drink. Cigarette
smoking leads to dissipation and ruin
and in thousands OF instances the route
y short. This fact is being recognized
by legislative bodies all over the country
and state after state is passing laws re-.
strlctiug and discouraging the use o
cigarettes. We need not make the Law
