BR|TISHa)VfRNMENTPOLICY
TO TREAT BoERs AS BRIGANDs.
Mr.. chamberiain's Statement I'm RE-
gard to Present War support-
ed--Boers 20 suffer Death Penalty
-Leniency a Thing of the Past.

New York, Aug. 5.--Commenting
upon the latest announced policy of
the British government in dealing
with the Beers, the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune says:
| The statement made by Mr.. Cham
berlain in the house Of commons re-
Gently with regard to the war in
South Africa was received with loud
cheers from his supporters. The
prompt action of the government in
Itelegraphing General Kitchener that
all Beers guilty Of killing natives en-
ployed by the British forces were to
suffer the death penalty is generally
approved, although some people af.
feet to believe it will lead to further
barbarities by the Beers toward any
white prisoner that may fall into their
hands.
In any case. the policy of leniency
on the part of General Kitchener has
become a thing of the past, and
armed Beers will in future be treated
as brigands. There is much bitter
discussion in and out of parliament
but the most reasonable view is that
the guerrilla warfare has reached the
state of generalization where Boer
commanders can not be controlled by
either General Botha or Mr.. Kruger.
1t has been expected from the outset
by South Africans that the final stage
OF the campaign would be character
lied by acts of desperation on the
Boer side. So intense is the desire
to have the campaign finished that
even the atrocities would be welcomed
by many If they could be convinced
that these We're signs that the end OF
a deplorabe war was in sight.

up their parts in the ceremony From
the brigadier general and navy captain
down to the humblest lieutenant and
ensign, every officer on duty in the cap
ital was there, save a few of high rank
which composed the guard Of honor and
waited at the White House.
Through a living line of bareheaded
people stretching from Buffalo up over
the Alleghanies down into the broad
valley of the Susquehanna and on TO
the marble city on the banks of the
shining Potomac the nations martyr
president had made his last journey to
the seat of government over which he
presided for four and one-half years.
The whole country seemed to have
drained its population at the sides of
the tracks over which the funeral train
passed. The thin lines through the
mountains and sparse1y settled districts
thicSened, and the little hamlets, cover
ed acres in towns, suddenly grew to the
proportions of respectable cities and
We're congested into vast multitudes in
the cities. The schools were dismissed
Everywhere appeared the trappings
and tokens of woe. A million flags at
half mast dotted hillsides and valley
and formed a thicl1et of color over the
cities And from almost every banner
streamed a bit of crepe. The stations
were heavy with the black symbol Of
mourning. At all the larger towns and
cities after the train got into Penns.-i-
vania Inilitiamen drawn up at present
The silence with which the countless
thousands viewed the remains of their
hero and martyr was oppressive aud
profound. Only the rumblng of the
trains wheels. the sobs from men ard
women with tear-stained faces and the
doleful tolling Of the church bells broke
on the ear. At several places, Williams
port. Harrisburg and Baltimore the
chimes played Cardinal Newman
grand hymn. Taken altogether the
journey home was the most remarka bic
demonstration of universal personal
sorrow since Lincoln was borne to his
grave. Every one of those who came
to pay their last tribute to the dead had
an opportunity to catch a glimpse of
the flag covered bier elevated to view
in the observation car at the rear Of
the train.
Mrs. Mckinley stood the trip bravely.
In the morning soon after leaving Buf-
falo. she pleaded so earnestly to be al
lowed to go into the car where her dear
one lay that reluctant assent was given.

Thousands Stood Bareheaded as

Washington, y. c., Sept. 1.-THE re-
mains Of President Mckinley last night
lay in the east room Of the White House
where for more than four years he had
made his home as chief magistrate of
the great American republic Upstairs
his widow mourned for her dead in the
family apartments that now bring back
but the saddest of memories.
1t was with simple ceremony and
silence that fitted perfectly the, sadness
Of the occasion that the body of the
late president was borne up to the
White House and laid on the bier in the
great east room where he had stood 50
often in the pride of his manhood to
receive the greetings of the common
people he loved better than himself
1t was fitting that such ceremony as
there was should be merely military IN
character. in recognition of the fact
that the president was the commander
in-chief of the United States army and
navy. Nowhere has there been a show
of civilian participation The streets
about the station We're filled with
was occupied by stalwart soldiers and
sailors in uniform The blue coated po-
Hcemen and the railroad employees We're
nearly all that stood near civil life
It was not SO on the broad stretch OF
avenue that led TO the White House.
There the people strained and crowded
in vast multitude against the stiff
wire ropes which restrained them from
the space marked out for the line OF
procession. The silence that marked
the progress of the funeral party
through the national capital was pro
found. The people as whole did not
talk even in whispers, and the only
sign of agitation in the great crowd
was the silent pressing and striving
against the ropes to see the mournful
cortege which swept slowly along.
The afternoon was cloudy and with
the close of the day began the dull, de-
pressing boom of a great gun at inter-
walls of five minutes. 1t Was the signal
which gave notice Of the approach Of
the funeral train At the Pennsylvania
railroad station men in bright uni
forms gathered, q mixture of soldiers
and sailors and with lowered voices
