ON SCOTCH HEATHER.
English Sportsmen and Golfers Rush
ing North.

New York, Aug. s.-The Scotch sea-
son has already begun. although the
shooting on the moors is not yet
licensed, says the London correspond
ent of the Tribune. The rush of sports
men and golfers northward promises to
be exceptional Lord Cromer will have
a moor in Caithness. and Cecil Rhodes
already has a large party at Loeb Ban
noch with DR.. Jameson and Sir John
Willoughby as boon companions. Lord
Miner is almost the only lion in sight
in London. and he viii soon be speed
ing northward. General Baden Powell
has contented himself with one or two
flying visits to London, and has avoid
ed showing himself to the crowds.
There has been little risk of the repe-
tition of Mafeking night. Enthusiasm
over the most conspicuous figures or
the war was spent long ago. There is
no longer any disposition to cheer for
anybody. Military men assert that
while Baden Powell was in the right
place in Mafeking he was untitled for
the work subsequently required. and
that in one instance at least he was re-
sponsible for the escape of a large force
of Beers when General Kitchener ex-
pected the success of one of his best
combinations.

THE ROYAL FUNERAL.
Empress Requested That It Be of
Most Simple Character.

New York. Aug. s-The correspondent
of the Herald at Cronberg, commenting G
upon the preparations for the funeral Of
the doWager empress of Germany, says:
The empress in her last written direc>
tions asked that the funeral might be o.
the most simple kind. but there is no
reference In them to the torchlight pro-
cession that VIII take place on Saturday y
and is entirely the kaiser's idea. It has
very much astonished the older courtiers.
whose quiet sedate appearance contrasts
strongly with the SNOWY, gold-bedecked
followers of the new court.
They seem almost overwhelmed by the
crash and rattle of the present epoch.
The kaiser has taken over the entire
manag cement of the funeral, enIy giving
his orders at the last moment, so they
have to be very much hurried through in
great haste
For Instance, he has ordered the church
service to be altered to suit circumstances
and he has also had copies printed for
each member of the imperial family. Cam
on TeignmOuth Shore altered the service
which is the ordinary Protestant funerat
service.
The Sunday service in the chapel win
be the Lutheran service. King Edward
win be Hresent and will stop at Fried
richshof with his suite.
The late empress had specially prepared
for him the well known "Prince or
Wales suite" of rooms.

BUYING ARMS.
This Partly Explains Why China Can
not Pay Up.

New York. Aug. S-Rev. George S.
Miner who for some time has been at
the head of private school system at
Foochow, China, is in this city He says
the missionaries in China do not ap-
prove the honors paid to Minister WI
Ting Fang by the people of this coun-
try. Mr.. Miner is quoted as saying OF
Minister WI:
How much he influenced the course
of our government / do not know. but
Americans in China think we made a
mistake in Withdrawing our troops so
soon
THE Chinese are at this moment buy
ing war material in vast quantities.
They are spending money in that way
and pleading inability to pay indemni-
ties because of poverty.
THE mandarin class in China IS un-
trustworthy. We ought not to take
their word Chinese diplomacy is not
to be counted upon and our govern
ment makes a mistake when it builds
upOn it.

TIN GOES UP.
Effects of Steel Strike Already Being
Felt.

New York, Aug. s.-The Journal of
Commerce says:
The labor trouble in the steel indus
try is beginning to be reflected in high
er prices for some of the products most
directly affected. The price of tin plates
has for some time been at a consider
able premium above the American Tin
Plate company's nominal price of s4-30
per box. Sales are now reported as
high as 81. so per box premium A num-
Der of orders for tin plate have been
sent to Great Britain. In this connec-
ton it is Of significance that the steam
er Exeter City, just in from Swansea,
brought 27,000 boxes of tin plate, the
largest single importation for many
years This was chiefly consigned to
order and believed to be for the Amer
lean Tin Plate company The London
market for tin plates has advanced
from 14s Sd to 15s Sd within a week.
A general advance Of 10 Per cent has
also been announced in the prices OF
tinware and enameled wares.
