TO TAX TRANSVA4L MINES,
Ten Per Cent. of Profits Recon m en ded
 to Pay War Debt,

London, June 13-Sir David Barbour, whom the chancellor of the exchequer Sir Michael Hicks Beach, sent to South Africa to investigate the source of reveneu of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony, with the view of esti- mating how much they should contrib ute towards the cost of the war reports in favor of a 10 per cent tax on the profits of the mines, yielding on the absis of the profits of 1898, e45O,Ooo yearly. After paying this, Sir David Barbour considers the mines will be better off than before, as they will save G600,000 per year on dynamite, owing to the abolition of the monopoly in that commodity.
 The Orange River Colony will be un- able, for some years, to meet the or dinary cost of administration and pay it's share of the cost of the constabulary Tt cannot therefore" says Sir David Barbour, "so far as can be foreseen at present, pay anything toward the cost of the war"
 The Transvaal, he thinks, can two years after the conclusion of peace, be- gin, out of it's ordinary rule to pay part of the cost of the war. He is un- able now to estimate how much Sir David proposes also to apply all reve- nues derived from the sale of lands or mining rights to the war liquidation.

Then he was ruined financially and he disappeared.

 Rescuing Tug in Bad Position.
 St. Johns, N. F., June 13-This after noon the Leyland line steamer Assyri- an, ashore off Cape Race, swung around on the rocks, with the tug Pe- trel on the inside. Both are now in a. very critical position. The Assyrian is pounding, to pieces A northeast gale is raging, a heavy sea is making fast and 1t is feared that the two vessels will become complete wrecks during the night.
 The Petrel was trying to tow the wreck off. but failed to movl her. Sab sequently one of the Assyrlan's ropes became entangled in the Petrels pro- peller The Petrel, thus crippled, drift ed inside the Assyrian. where she tried to repair the damage. A northeast gale was brewing at the time and this stead fly increased.
 Finally the wreck, started by the heavy seas, swung around as upon pivot and embayed the tug, Both ves- sels were then forced broadside on the rocks, the seas sweeping over them. The crews of both ships left them, ex- cept the captain and two officers of the Assyrlan. Even they are not likely to remain on board throughout the night, because the liner will probably have gone to pieces before morning.

Unrest at Shreveport, La One Negro Will
 be Killed If Caught.

Shreveport La, June 13.-This city and vicinity had been in state of un- rest since yesterday, when John Gray Foster, prominent planter, was shot and killed by Prince Edwards, a negro employed on the Foster plantation, five miles east of this city. Armed posses of white men have been securing the country for miles around in an attempt to capture Edwards. There were many wild rumors afloat throughout the day, the most sensational being that fifteen or more negroes held under arrest in the Mennebrew store were in imminent peril of being lynched, but unless senti- ment changes, the disposition tonight would indicate that the majority if not all the prisoners will be let off with a whipping. Edwards if caught will be burned or lynched.

Brighter Abode.

Buffalo, June 13.-Secretary of State
 John Hay was the guest of honor at
 dinner given this evening by the board of directors of the exposition to the Ma tional Editorial association. One thou
 sand covers were laid in the great din- ing room at Stadlars hotel, the ban quest being the largest in the history of the city Secretary Hay was intro duced by Director General Buchanan, who presided. MT. Hay spoke enthusi- asticaly of the exposition, it's scope and its possible effect. He alluded to the first reunion of the American repub- lies twelve years ago and to the coming conference in the City of Mexico in which he said, i've have the right to hope that with larger experience and profounder study of the great prob lems before us, results still more lm- portant and beneficient will be reached.
 ''As a means to those ends, as con- crete realization of dreams which have led us thus far, we have this grand and beautiful spectacle.
 "There have been statesmen and SOL diers who have cherished the fancy in past years Ol d NdSl faliCi iNetii eeAiiAJ ~ cruited from every country between the Arctic and Antarctic seas which should bind us together in one immense mili- tary power that might overawe the old CT civilizat tions. But this conception belongs to the past to~~an order or things that has gone, I hope, forever by. How far more inspiring is the thought of the results we see here now; how much more in keeping with the better times in whose light we live and the still more glorious future to which we look forward, is the result we see to-day of the armies of labor and in- telligence in every country of this new world, all working with one mind and one will not to attain an unhappy pre- eminence in the art of destruction, but to advance in liberal emulation in the arts which tend to make men happier and better, to make this long harassed and tormented earth a brighter and more blessed abode for men of good will
 "God forbid that there should be in all this the slightest hint of vainglory, still less of menace to the rest of the world. On the contrary we cannot but think that this friendly challenge we send out to all peoples convoking also to join in this the right to further peaceful progress in good work-will 1 be to the benefit and progress of every country under the wide heaven"
 Other speakers were Governor A. B. White of West Virginia, Walter M. | Williams of Missouri, Herbert P. Bissell of Buffalo, Colonel Henry of Mississip ,o; Copator Tar1dOn Of North Carolina | and Joe Mitchell Chappelle of Boston.
