Circulation Statement.


After strenuous week in the Vice
Presidents chair the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt lays down the gavel with the
proud consciousness that he has shown
himself to be the very worst presiding
officer the Senate has ever known.
The man who drove the Spaniards out
of Cuba dethroned Plat, defeated Bryan
for the Presidency, and. in softer mood,
killed twelve mountain lions in less than
ten days cannot put a simple motion
or familiarize himstif with single Sen
ate rule.
We have seen all sorts of Vice Presi-
dents in Washington. from Aaron Burr to
Hobart, but none of them ever took the
chair in the Senate without some prior
attempt to acquaint himself with parlia-
mentary law. Mr. Roosevelt, as the
event showed. was superior to all this.
He knew instinctively what to do and it
remained for the Senate to show him
that he knew nothing whatever.
Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt will decide to
spend a part of his time during the next
nine months in the society of the Hon.
Thomas 3. Reed, now weli-known resi-
dent of New York. However much harm
might result to the country. it would, at
least do our latest Vice President a world

Brahmin view of the EAST and West.

The subject of social intercourse between Eu-
ropeans and Indians has frequently been a grand
theme with some writers and speakers There
are men who are too ready 10 throw the whole
blame for the existing state Of things on the
Europeans who are charged with refusing to
accept Indians on terms OF perfect equality
while As 4 matter of fact. it seems to MS that
except in purely official relations as between
superior and subordinate it is the Indian that
considers himself to be Of purer caste and in
capable Of adjusting his scruples and his habits
10 the requirements of European society. The
pride of caste is still very strong in the Indian
and however submissive and respectful he may
be in the presence Of the European official in
his heart Of hearts he believes himself to be OF
a superior order.

British Terms to the Beers.

There now seems to be good reason TO
expect that within a few days the Boer
commandant, General Botha, will sur
render with his forces to Lord Kitchener,
and accept the amnesty which Great Brit
ain now offers to all the burghers, wneth-
er in the field or prisoners. except the
Cape Colony Dutch, and De Wet and
Steyn, who refuse all terms.
An armistice of seven days has been ar
ranged. so that General Botha may have
time to consult the Boer leaders. He had
already found means to communicate
with De Wet and Steyn. but found them
obdurate and determined to continue their
guerrilla war for revenge, and do as much
damage as possible But Bothas submis-
sion with the bulk CT the Beers now in
arms will practically end the war. After
it has been completed. it is not doubted
that the guerrilla comlnandos who decline
to surrender will be proclaimed and treat
ed as outlaws, and hunted down and dis
posed Of without mercy.

San Francisco. July 16.-Nearly 10 GOO delegates to the International Epworth League Convention. which will begin next Thursday, were registered by the local committee today.

To Buy Old Bonds.

New York. July 16.-The Times will say tomorrow that one of the large trust companies of this city has de- cided to make an effort to collect or compromise the bonds issued by the Southern States during the reconstruc- tion period following the civil war, and since repudiated in whole or in part by those States. It is further said that an official of the company admitted cir cuar inviting cooperation in this ven- ture had been sent out to persons known to hold some of these repudi- ated bonds He denied. however. that the company itself held any of these bonds. but said that he did not know whether any of the bonds were held by persons identified with the trust company. He also stated that there were no Southern interests in the com parY.

P1cKETTNG IS ILLEGAL.
Judge Clarke Plainly States His
 Views as to Strikers.

Cincinnati. July 1s-Judge c. D.. Clarke of the United States District Court during the hearing of the mo- tion to dissolve the temporary injunc- tion issued against the striking ma chinists indicated very plainly to coun- sel for the defense what his opinion would be on two points involved. He said that for picketing an injunction would be granted. but that acts of violence and even boycotting were not to be met by injunctions. "
 "I have arrived at the conclusion be- yond all shadow of doubt. that picket ing is unlawful: that it Is immoral and wrong. Counsel for the defense must understand plainly that I am opposed to picketing in any form whatever and that I will promptly make the power of this court felt against It."
 He described picketing as intercept ing men while going to or from the factory-anywhere, even miles away by one man or by more than one--any interference with the ingress and egress of workmen. But violence, ' he added, lis not to be remedied by injunction in this court. It is subject to the criminal Jurisdiction of the State courts"
 He announced that the decision of the case would rest on the point wheth- CT or not it had been shown that there had been picketing. While his mind was made up on the laT as to picket ing. he asked counsel to cite authorl- ties on that point. The arguments were begun but as Judge Clark has a case to hear at Chattanooga tomorrow. the case will be taken up if he returns on the 2t4h instant.

SHOWERS DO LITTLE GOOD.
The Kansas Drought Still Practically
 Unbroken.

Topeka. Kas.. July 16.-While rain has been falling during the past 24 hours in various parts of Kansas. the drought is not yet broken and little benefit has been experienced by the crops. The rains have been local show CTS and their only effect has been to cool the atmosphere and freshen vege- tation. The refreshing breeze from the south today made the weather more bearable than any during the past month. Two places in the State report a temperature of 107. but the average has been about 99. Reports of biighted crops continue to come in. A hopeful tone pervades most of the reports. however. Tn the eastern division of the State crops are suffering more than in any other. The damage done in the central part is less severe. while in the western part the conditions are the most favorable. The corn crop Is not the only thing at stake. To obtain WA ter fer stock mad for rife protection Is much studied problem and one that will not be solved until the con- ing of rain. Previous estimates of half a crop of corn this year will still hold good in case more rain comes within the present week. Late apples have been hurt but little. while peaches are damaged more. and small fruits have failed almost entirely.

NO CONFERENCE HELD.
Reported That Employers are Hinng
 Detectives.

New York, July 16.-At the close of the day today q representative of the highest interests in the United States Steel Company authorized the state ment that no conference concerning the steel strike had taken place during the day, and that none is likely to take place until the Amalgamated Associa- tion recedes from it's present attitude. The additional statement is made that on this point there can be no compromise, and that the heads of the constituent companies will not unionize such mills as have up to this time employed non-union men.
 c. NJ. Scwab, President of the cor poration, is reported to have held a long conference with MT. Morgan to- day. Mir .Schwab refused to be inter viewed.
 The report from Pittsburg that there would be a conference which would re- suit in some offer to the union men. was not borne out by the days events. Yet another rumorS of the day was that officers of the steel corporation had arranged for a force of detectives for safeguarding the mills should an effort be made at them to resume busi- ness.

 If this convention stand unrebuked. then 1t must be understood that the Democratic Party as such has repudi- ated the principles enunciated in the Kansas City platform and ratified and approved of the course pursued by the Republican Party upon the money ques- question. If the Democratic Party abandon the principles laid down in the platforms of 1896 and 1900. then 1t may as we'll close its political careers for there is little else of importance to fight for"

Home e ernmentS ReSp0n- sib3 Or the Delay.
Asserted That Either Great Britain or Russia Must Make Material
 Concessions Before Con- clusion is Possible.

Pekin, July 16.-The Ministers of the Powers now freely admit that the pros pect of a conclusion of negotiations Is growing darker. The situation is most serious. as the deadlock has continued for more than a month. The meeting arranged for today was postponed be- cause 1t was apparent that the pro- ceedings would be fruitless.
 It was at the meeting of July Il that the ministers reached something in the nature of an agreement as to the in demnity. But almost immediately q radical difference developed between Great Britain and Russia as to the details of the plan of payment. All the ministers were in accord with the scheme early in June. subject to the approval of their governments. but Great Britain disapproved the arrange ment on the ground that it did not ad- equately protect her commercial in- terests.
 The neutral ministers assert that either Great Britain or Russia must make material concessions before a conclusion of the agreement is poSsi- ble. Meantime the committees of the ministers are working upon compara- lively unimportant details. such as inn provements in navigation; but If the financial question was settled the me- gotiations could be closed in a day.
 Ii Hung Chang keeps sending stren- uous requests to the ministers of the powers to present a complete plan. He represents that China is willing to &C., cept any reasonable terms and is chief ly anxious to know definitely what the powers require, so that she may begin compliance with the terms.
 The ministers regard newspaper ac- cusations of procrastination on their part as exceedingly unjust. The gov ernments. and not the ministers, are responsible. the ministers say, for. the deadlock
