srErN Is DErERMINEp



London, July 19.-The war Office
has issued dispatch from Lord
Kitchener giving the correspondence
between Mr.. Reitz and Mr.. Steyn that
was captured with the latter's bag
gage near Lindley July II.
Mr.. Reitz, under date of May 10,
wrote Mr.. Steyn that a meeting of
the Transvaal government had been
held, attended by General Botha, Gen.
eral Viljoen and Mr.. Smutz, to con-
slider the national situation. He went
on to catalogue the difficulties--the
numerous surrenders of burghers en-
failing a heavy responsibility on the
government, the rapidly decreasing
supply of ammunition, the disintegra-
ton of the government and the lack
of any definite assurances of Euro
pean Intervention.
''In view of these facts" he said,
"the government has decided to ad-
dress a message to President Kruger
pointing out the terrible condition.
The time has passed for us to let
matters drift as at present. We must
take final step"
Mr.. Steyn, replying May IS, up
''eAN' 49, ANNit6 WIN ttb-
ness, saying:
'There is still sufficient ammuni-
ton to continue the struggle. You
ask what prospect there is OF sue
cessful termination. 1 ask
what chance there was. for two
small republics when they declared
war against the mighty power of
Great Britain. You will answer that
we trusted in God and in foreign in
tervention. What reason is there
now to place less trust in God?
II have seen recent European
newspapers, and I firmly believe that
complications will occur in Europe in
the course OF few months which
will secure our good fortune"
Mr.. Steyn also says the facts that
Mr.. Kruger and the Boer delegates
remain in Europe convinces him that
they consider the case not beyond
hope. He adds that he has sum
moned General De Wet and urges Mr..
Reitz to take no steps until he has
heard further from him.

The coal mines in Japan now yield
some 100000 tons annually. of which
more than three-fourths hail from the
mines at the island of Kiau-siu. In
the year 1899 the exports of coal from
Japan amounted to 100000 tons, the
rest being consumed at home for rail-
ways, steamers and factories. Private
individuals hardly use coal at all in
Japan. From the harbors Of Kiau-siu
the exports during 1899 were about
double what they had been four years
previously. Most of the Goals 90 to
China and Hong Kong.

Around the world IN si,,y p.v,.

Chicago, July 22.-Charles Cecil
Fiztmorris, the 17-year-old Chicago
school boy, who was one of the three
lads sent out by w. r. Hearst, the
newspaper proprietor, in an attempt
to break the record for the trip
around the world, arrived here Satur-
day in time which breaks previous
records by George Francis Train and
Nellie Bly,. He was met at the union
depot by his parents, Acting Mayor
Block, Col. VIM. Cody, and numerous
friends, but he tarried only a mo-
ment, as carrige was waiting to
whisk him to 214-16 Madison street,
the point from which he had started.
At this point it was said the boy had
made the trip of 20,54O miles in ex-
actly 60 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes,
AZ As seconds, winning easily from
ms competitors sent out from New
York and San Francisco. The time
given includes delays and stops
equal to about six days.

TARIFF WAR ENDING.
Former Russo-AmerIcan Commercial Re.
lations Soon to he Resumed.

London, July 19.-The Odessa corre-
spondent of the Standard says that
the opinion is very general in official
circles in st. Petersburg that the
acute stage of the tariff dispute with
the United States is now safely
weathered and that commercial rela-
tons between the two countries
will shortly resume their normal
character. Although Mr.. White, min
lister of finance, was throughout con-
WINGED of the justice of his resistive
attitude, he was sufficiently wise and
tactful to discern the expediency of
not pushing his contension beyond a
certain limit. He has now come to
frank and cordial understanding
by such courteous and considerate
means as not to leave the slightest
after-soreness in Washington. This is
patiently obvious in the tone of the
Russian reply Ito secretary Hays
note.

FIRE AT RICEYILLE.
Town Of One Thousand Inhabitants Al
most Wiped Out.

New Hampton, July PA disas-
trous fire originating IN 4 butcher
shop at Riceville, twenty-five miles
north, in Mitchell county, nearly laid
town of one thousand inhabitants
in ashes. The fire broke out about
2 o'clock p. m. with the thermometer
at 107, with a slight breeze tanning.
The finder dried buildings on both
sides of Main street to the depot
were licked up, including two hotels,
a bank, ten business houses, two lum-
Der yards and a frame opera house.
The town had just voted on water
works proposition, but it was not
perfected. The loss is estimated at
about 100000. Fire companies from
Alta Vista responded to the call by
special train, but could do but little.
Several fine residence buildings were
burned, including also a church and
parsonage.

London, July 22.-"Famine threat

lem correspondent of the London
Standard, ION account of the scant
water supply, due to the insufficient
rains of last winter. The sultan has
granted permission to the municipali-
ties to bring water from the pools
of Solomon through iron pipes into
the city along the line of Solomon's
stone aqueduct.. The new works were
begun Saturday on telegraphic or
ders from the sultan. They will be

AFFECTED BY THE HEAT.
Martin johnson of johnson Attacks His
Wife While DemeDted.

Fort Dodge, July 22.-Martin John
son, a prominent farmer living near
Badger, seemingly crazed by heat
and drink, attempted to kill his wife
on the city streets while driving
home with her in a buggy. Johnson
had just started home and while yet
in the bushes part of the city COM
menced to beat his wife. Bystanders
were attracted by her cries and the
police were notified. Johnson started
on and after he had gone a few
blocks commenced again to cruelty
beat his wife. When the police over
took him, party of men had dragged
him out of the carriage and angry
threats were being made. The ar
rival of the police prevented mob
violence. Mrs. johnson was bleeding
about the face and was quite badly
hurt. johnson is now under arrest.

ROOT IN DIES MONIES.
Inspects Site of Army Post and Says 1t
Will BE Enlarged.

VIII BE Enlarged.
Des Moines, July 2o.-Secretary
Root, of the war department, arrived
yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
in his private car. He was accom-
panied by General George Gillespie,
chief of engineers; General Wallace
Randolf, chief of artillery, Colonel
w. III. Carter, assistant adJutant
general all of Washington.
Arrived here the party was at once
driven to the site of the proposed
army post, which they inspected. In
an interview the secretary said:
Capt. L. b. Turner has full power
to make all arrangements prelimi-
nary to establishing the army post
in this city. This includes contract
ing for water supply, securing
easement of sewer, signing con-
tracts for railway facilities, and, in
fact, disposing of all questions which
must be settled before actual work
on the post will begin"
Another important fact which de-
veloped from the visit of Secretary
Root is the evident intention of the
government to buy several hundred
acres of land around the post for the
purpose of enlarging it. Speaking
of this last evening, Mr.. Root said:
at is the intention of the govern
ment to first construct the post here
to accommodate one squadron of cav
airy, gradually increasing it until it
will accommodate a regiment. II
this is done, it will be absolutely nee
essary to enlarge the post, as it is too
small for the contemplated purpose.
If the government can buy land
around the post for reasonable fig
ure. it will undoubtedly do so. 1t
would be hard, at present, to drill a
couple of squadrons there without
galloping into wall or fence"

drawn up a statement, to which he

army thought they could publish their
real views without imperilling their

ADMIRAL sCnLEY SUSTAINED.
Secretary of the Navy Rejects Historv
Criticising Mary land Man.

Criticising Maryland Man.
Washington, July 20.-The secre-
tary of the navy has decided that
the third volume of Mackay's history
of the Spanish-American war shall
not be used as a text book at the
naval academy unless the obnoxious
language it contains in characteriz-
ing the action of Rear Admiral Schley
is eliminated. The secretary says
that it would be manifestly improper
to have history containing such
incorporate language as a text book
for the cadets. He will inform both
commander Wainwright, who is IA
command of the naval academy, ard
Mr.. Mackay, the author, of his decis-
ion. In this connection the secretary
says that the proofs of the entire
volume were not submitted to him
by the historian. He received only
proofs of the third chapter, that re-
lating to the mobilization of the.
fleets, which contained summary
of the orders which he, as secretary
of the navy, had issued in making
the naval preparations for the war.
That chapter was satisfactory, and
he returned II to Mr.. Mackay with an
indication of his approval. He says
he never saw the account of the bat
tie of Santiago and the criticisms of
Rear Admiral Schley until after the
book was published. Mr.. Mackay was
appointed to his present position in
the New York navy yard August %.
1900, having been transferred from
the lighthouse service.

Paris, July 22.--An official commune
ication received from the Boer head
quarters protests against the publi-
cation of the correspondence between
Mr.. Reitz, Transvaal state secretary,
and Mr.. Steyn, president of the
Orange Free state, that was cap
tured with the latter's baggage near
Lindley, July IL. The communica-
ton maintains that Mr.. Steyn's opti-
mistic views are fully upheld by con-
fidential reports from Botha, De-
larney, Smutz Smutz and Boyer.
1t is said that Mr.. Kruger has re-
ceived within week most salts
factory letter from General Botha, in
which details of future plans and
movements are given, everything 60
