BOER WAR
ENDING

NRw YORK Aug, 2O.-Thsre is are
newed feeling of hopeiulness' that the
war in South Africa will to)n be at an
end, says a London dispatch to the
Tribune. The position is different
from that obtaining at any time since
the outbreak Of hostilities in October,
1899. Natal is clear; Cape Colony ID
rid Of KritEiuger, in the Orange River
Colony there is practically little oppO-
sition while in the Transvaal there are
not many SYMPTOMS of Boer activity.
Rumors Of important developments are
freely current, 1t is stated that the
funds Of Boer leaders in Europe not alb,
s,lutely exhausted aud it is certain that
the rigor, of winter have told on the
Burghers in the field.

UNIONISM
TROUBLES

CuIcAao, Aug. 20.-Details OF an al.
legged plot by which two Chicago stone
yards we're destroyed by dynamite on
August ~ in order to deprive 200 mem
bers of an independent stone cutters's
union OF employment, are believed by
the police to be cleared up in the arrest
and confession of Frank Hardy, former
lg an employe of the Chicago Athletic
Association.
Involved with Hardy in the confess
sion and alleged plot and also under ar.
rest, are Michael Fitzgerald. a tesmster
and Joe Hayes. Two stone yards which
we're wrecked employed stone cutters
who broke away from the old Building
Trades council during the strike OF last
year. Those stone cutters belong TO an
independent union, and are pitted in
trade rivalry against 10 other stone cut
ters who still belong to the old union.
This rivalry has led to frequent ASSAULT 9
upon members OF the independent union
according to the police.

CITY BONDS
In GREAT
DEMAND
Private Citizens and Bankers
Anxious to Get the Sc
curitieS.

Since the announcement that the
City Of Salem would be in the market
with $50, 900 Of 4 per cent bonds to be
issued Oct. ist. there has arisen a public
interest on the subject that is un-
preeedented. As soon as IL was known
that the issue would be placed, one
party came to Record Judah and wanted
to be assured $500 worth Of the bonds.
Another party, a prominent business
frm Of the city, asked to have $4,000 Of
the bonds II possible, and a lady was
anxious TO SECURE $1,000. Besides these
there we're several smaller sums applied
for, and also assurances from several
sources that some Of the bonds would
be wanted.
At the last meeting Of the city council
Cashier Jos. II. Albert, Of the Capital
National Bank, volunteered TO carry
the bonds indefinitely, or until the city
saw fit TO make some other arrangemt mt,
at per cent. This offer was no doubt
received with qualification by the city
authorities, as it insured the absulute
success Of the popular loan. Since then
MIR. Catch, in behalf Of Messrs. Ladd &
Bush offers to take the bonds until
such time as the city can float them at
80 percent, at that very low figure, and
snggests that there will be no trouble to
dispose Of the bonds to the citizens oI
Salem at that low rate.
All these things must be very pleasinl
TO the city administration, and in fact
TO every citizen, as they show the great
est confidence in our city's credit and
give us a good name abroad such as will
be Of incalcuabe value for all time
to come. Let the good work 20 on.

WRECKED
CAR FROM
GLENDALE
Loaded With WaterwelOnS
Brought to Salem.

One of the freight cars that was dam
aged by the powder explosion near Glen
dale Saturday nights now here on side
track loaded Rith wstermelons, for ii.
s. Gile and Co. It lie so battered that it
will scarcely hold together.
The nature Of the damages to the car
are decidedly unusual. Instead OF sp-
pearing to have struck againstany object
IL seems just to have fallen to pieces.
Boards are broken in the middle, or in
places where il seems they would be the
strongest.
A majority Of the wrecked cars have
been taken to Portland, though come ol
them are past repair.
Railroad men speak OF this as the
worst wreck on this road for years. Th'
fact that no lives were lost is considered
marvellous. Two cars of dynamite anC
powder exploded from the shock Of ;
sudden stop, and eleven cars wer'
blown into atoms. Even the trucks o
several could not be found, The even
occurred near Glendale, ia the extrem
southern part Of Douglas county. Th
train had just emerged from tunnel no Z
when the explosion took place.

CHANGE
IN STIP-
ULATION

Attorney General Blackburn, Geo. q.
Bingham and f. p. Mccormack have
corrected the stipulation Of facts recent
ly filed in the suit against the bondsmen
OF Geo. w. Davis. In some manner 10
was agreed upon that Davis had paid to
the State Treasurer on account OF the
School Land fund. 500 ,3S more than
he collected and this has been corrected
TO read that Davis was short in his ac-
count with the state, $30,9Sl.9S. The
correct shortage is $50, 032 0s, according
to the report Of the legislature investigat-
ing committee.
In the stipulation as il now reads the
accounts OF Davis are given as follows:
Amount collected for the term ending
Dec. 81, 1894: 1912 260. Interest OF
said fund for that term: $Sl 1857 49,.
For the interim between Jan. !, 1895
and July 81, 1895, collections were $780,
62l 40. The amount turned over to
the State Treasurer for the term ending
Dec 81. 1898: 1922, ,9i5.45, From Jan.
/, 1895 TO July 1895; $50, 52l.46.
The difference in the actual sh"rtage
and the figures given is only 1890
The suit being for only 5000 and the
shortage so much in excess OF this sum
that so slight difference is immaterial

10 do perfect justice TO all people re-
spectng matters in which they are in
ten ested. The article in the DAILY
JoRUNAL Of the 18th inst respecting the
financial condition OF Horst Bros, was in

a circular letter, signed Louis A. Horst,
making mention Of the fact that a re-
ceiver had been appointed in England
and that Il Clemens Horst, was the re-
ceiver for the United States and Canada,
and Louis Horst for England.
The headlines OF the article was the
only portion they have right to take
exceptions TO, and we cheeriully retract
all that might be implied from the
headlines.
We are reliably informed that the
firm, or late firm of Horst Bros, is per
iectly solvent, and that the monies OBJ
tained and 10 be obtained from th,
Bank Of California was done through
trust deeds, for the purpose Of harvest
ing their large hop crops in this stat,
and In California.
They have always paid their obliga
tions whenever called upon to do so, an,
doubtless their employees will reeeiv
their cash whenever they require il
and all other parties will be paid accord
ing to contract
We make this retraction in justice I
the frm, or late firm, purely as matte
J Of justice, and not because we have bee
threatened with a damage suit.

ROTHSCHILD IN A DUEL.
Wounds His Opponent Severely In
the Arm.

IA
Paris. Jan. %. - The long-expectad
duel between the Count de LuberSac
and Baron Robert de RothschiId was
fought with swords at II o'clock yes
terday morning on Baron Edmond de
Rothschild's estate at BoulOsne dur
Seine. The carriages Of the principals,
seconds, doctors and a few friends ar
rived there from Paris shortly before
II o'clock. Count de Lubersac's sec
onds were NJ. Schiege and Count de
Laborde, and those of Baron de
Rothschild were Baron LeOnino and
Viscount de Bondy. The duel began at
II and lasted ten minutes. when Count
de Lubersac received a lunge, perfor-
ating his arm from the elbow to the
armpit. The duel was then stopped.
Both the count and the baron fought
most determinedly; neither f1inched
and neither showed the slightest desire
to spare the other. Sixteen engage
ments took place, all of a desperate
character. The combatants attacked
each other %furiously. The sleeves of
their shirts were literally torn to
pieces by the points of their swords,
as the duelists repeatedly lunsed at
each other. Several times they came
to close quarters and their seconds
were obliged to separate them.
