London, June 17.-Lord Kitchener

Victorian mounted rifles from General
Beaston's column were surprised in
camp ut Steenkoolspruit by superior
force of Beers at 1880 p. m. June IL.
The enemy crept up to within short
range and poured deadly fire into the
camp, killing two officers and sixteen
men and wounding four officers and
thirty-eight men, of whom twenty
eight were slightly wounded. Only
two officers and fifty men escaped to
General Beastons camp The remain-

British Hit De Vets Force.
Lord Kitchener reported Saturday to
the war office from Pretoria as fol-
lows: During the march from Vrede
General Elliot's column engaged De
Wet near Reitz on June 6. After Sc
we're fighting they captured seventy one
loaded wagons, forty-five prisoners,
fifty eight rifles, 10000 rounds of am
mpnition and 1000 cattle. The Beers
left seventeen killed and three wound
ed. Our casualties were three officers
and seventeen men killed and one Off
Ger and twenty-four men wounded.
Military Men Were Hopeful.

er's telegram, given above, relating the
story Of q Boer surprise as early as7:3O
| p. m., and of the Victorian Rifles, too,
a body of men supposed to be up" to
all such Boer schlimmness, the record
| of military operations in South Africa
was regarded US satisfactory by the
military men, without regard for the
results of Mrs. Botha's diplomacy.
The number Of Boer prisoners under
guard exceeds 10000. and they are
anxious to have the war end. A con-
4 Beers is now under arms for the pro.
lection of farms and herds, and it, too
is anxious to have terms of peace ar
ranged The Dutch districts in Cape
Colony, where General French is now
in command, are weary Of the depre.
dations of the Boer raiders, when they
have to feed and clothe them.
Loss of the Pompoms Bad Feature.
The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports Is the first accident
Of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup.
posed to be due to neglect of proper
picketing. Although it is offset by the
defeat inflicted upon De Wet, the loss
of the guns is regarded as serious
matter, which will encourage the
Beers to continue the struggle. More
or less fanciful accounts are published
on the continent of alleged peace nego
tiations, but there is nothing in them
and nothing has come of the interview
between Mrs. Botha and Kruger be
yond revealing the fact that Kruger
will listen to no proposals unless they
are accompanied with guarantee OF
the indenendence of the republics.

The trusts are simply aggregations of
large capitalists. Labor unions are sg-
gregations of small capitalists. The
big combines of capital should recog-
nize the big labor combines, for the law
applicable to one is, or at least should
be, applicable to both. If government
by Injunction, as it is sometimes called,
is applicable to labor unions, why is 1t
not also applicable to money combines :?
There should be more courtesy between

Washington, June 17.-NIrs. McKin-
ley's condition continues to improve
and there was no consultation of physi-
clans at the White House during the
day. Surgeon General Sternberg, one
of the consulting physicians, left for
the Philippines and DR.. Rixey did not

Johnston, the other consulting .physi-
clan. If the present Improvement goes
on 1t is expected that Mrs. Mckinley
will be able to travel soon after July
1. The president will then accompany
her to Canton where the Mckinley
home has been made ready to receive

How long the president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley will remain in Canton will de-
pend upon the benefit Mrs. Mckinley
receives from her stay at her old home
After she has been there for some time,
If the weather is progressively warm
and her physician recommends u
change, the president probably will
take her to some quiet place in the
mountains or at the seashore. In any
event when the president departs for
Canton with Mrs. Mckinley early In
July it will be to remain from Wash
ington for the remainder of the heated
term. He might return for day or
two once or twice during the summer
but he will not again take up his abode
at the White House until fall.

MAY PROVE FATAL
C. A. MOrey of the Board of Control
Has a Serious Fall.
HE IS IN A CRITICAL CONDITION
One Side ParaIyzed-FelI Down a
Narrow Stairway in the
Capitol.

c. A Morey. of Winona, a member Of
the state board of control, lies in crit
ical condition at st. Joseph's hospital in
st. Paul. He fell this morning nearly the
full length OF a steep staircase in the cap
itol, striking on the back of his head. The
result is a concussion of the brain-just
how serious the attending physicians are
unable to tell. He is semiconseious and
in a state of partial paralysis.
Mrs. Morey, summoned from Winona
arrived shortly after 1 o'clock.
The staircase is a very steep and mar
row one, leading by single flight from
the senate chamber to two committee
rooms on the third floor. one of which
H. W, Wright, secretary pro TEN of the
board Of control, is using.
About $50 this mornig Mr.. Morey had
occasion to consult Mr.. Wright, and went
upstairs with three heavy books under
his arm. After a consultation, be
started down again. Mr.. Wright heard
him take two or three steps, then came
the noise Of the fall.
When help reached Mr.. Morey he could
not speak. Physicians were summoned
and three were son on the spot.
Mr.. Morey seemed in intense pain, but
when Governor Van SAINT spoke to him,
by a motion of his hand the PROSTATE
man gave sign that he understood. An
ambulance was called and the injured
man was taken to st. Joseph's hospital,
where hurried examination failed to dis
close and fractures or dislocations, and the
injury was diagnosed as concussion of the
brain Paralysis, which had been notice
able from the first, seemed to grow worse.
The left side rested quietly, but the right
arm and side trembled violently. Mr..
Morey continually tried to put his hand to
his head. The paralysis points to injury
to the spinal cord, and indicates that per-
haps a dislocation has escaped the sur
geon's diagnosis.
dr. Morey had been complaining OF
headache for two or three days, and it is
possible that the fall was the result of
vertigo. 1t is more likely, however, that
his foot slipped.
At 2 o'clock Mr.. Morey's condition was
more serious. The paralysis Of one side
was complete. The attending surgeons
have grave doubts of his recovery.
On the arrival Of DR.. McFahey, the
family physician from Winona, this aft
ernoon, a consultation of surgeons was
held,

AT THE ST. PAUL BOOM
Finding of the Body Proves That

Awful as Feared.

The body of William Rosenfeld was re-

just below Fort Smelling.

The superintendent promptly reported II

ceeded to make his second visit to the

QuadrupIe Murder and Suicide.
The recovery of Rosenfeld's body COM
pletely clears the mystery that has been
surrounding him and his four children
since Wednesday night of last week.
Rosenfeld first hurled his four children
over the Marshall avenue bridge.
He completed his crime by taking his
own life, leaping from the bridge into
the river.
The discovery of Rosenfeld's remains
is due to the vigilance of the workmen
of the boom company.

close lookout is being kept for the
bodies of the three children still in the

The announcement of the death of Mr..
Rosenfield made at the home of Mrs Nc
Cune, S27 Washington avenue S, this aft

terday when the finding of the little boy,
Joseph, was reported. The relatives all
felt that Rosenfiedl did not deserve the
least pity. ]. E. McCune and the under
taker left at once for st. Paul Mrs.
Rosenfeld lies in such a critical condition
at the house of her mother that Mrs Nc
Cune is not able to leave her. Some
time tonight Mrs. John Taylor, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. McCune. living at Eighth ave-
nue. and Fifth street, will come to at
tend Mrs RosenfieId. Mrs. McCune will
then join her husband at St. Paul and
await the finding of the other bodies.
Mrs. Rosenield's condition is critical.
She remains unconscious for long periods
and then on awaking breaks into hysteria.
It appears that several Of Rosenfield' s
relatives have met tragic ends. One
cousin in Omaha shot himself and one
uncle is said to have committed suicide
last winter in the Klondike.
