PUT ON HALF RATiONS.
Beers Whose People Are Fighting for
Great Britain Made 1" suffer for
Their Relatives Sins.

London, Nov. l6.---As the result of
an elaborate report issued by the
colonial Office on the concentration
camps in South Africa. unionist pa
pers pronounce the history of the
camps as creditable to England. The
pro-Boer journals maintain that the
moral of the disclosures is the unut-
terablc criminality of the policy of
concentration. 1t is admitted in the
report that there is an indiscriminate
massing together of people, INSULT
cient housing and covering, absence
of warmth and poor rations. 1t is
stated that the camp prisoners have
been divided into two glasses and that
people whose relatives have been on
commando were put on half rations.

ONLY TWO YEARS TO LIVE.
Philadelphia Paper Has Inside Information
from London About the Health
of King Edward.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-A London
cable Ia the North American says:
king Edward will not live more than
two years at the very most, accord
ing TO the opinions of the best ply
sicians in Great Britain. This predic-
ton may be set down as truth on au-
thority that cannot be disputed, de-
spite hopeful and inspired official hull
letins TO the contrary, At the same
time, it can be affirmed on equally
unimpeachable grounds that the
kings malady is not cancer of the
throat as has been so frequently in
sisted. 1t is in the under part of
the tongue, which is even more dam
gerous and, according to the unani-
nous belief Of the doctors, must reach
it's fatal termination within the spec
flied period"

LONG LIST OF CASUALTIES.
suited In Numerous Collisions and
the Gripping of Traffic.

London, Nov. 16.-From - to 20 de-
grees of frost, unprecedented at this
time of the year and Il dense fog in
most parts of the country wound
up a week notable for its abnormal
weather and ended the long list of
casualties occasioned by the recent
gales. Railroad traffic in and around
London is seriously dislocated, while
train collisions are reported from
various points. The most serious of
these was on the London, Chatham &
Dover line when II persons were in
jured. All traffic on the river Thames
is at a standstill and several accidents
preceded the stoppage. The fog in
south London is SO dense that road
traffic is almost impracticable. Omni-
bus passengers have been forced to
leave the vehicles and walk. The
channel steamers are greatly delayed
by the fog. There is skating in some
parts of the kingdom.

ONLY us WOMAN DIED.
Guilty Couple az Kansas City Agreed to
Commit suicide. but the Man Is
Sttil Living.

Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. 16.-Frank
B. Quigley and Mrs. V. Gertrude West
went to the Phoenix hotel in this city
last evening with the understanding
that. after he had fallen asleep, she
should kill him and shoot herself, but
when the time came for the woman
TO commit the murder her nerve failed
her and she wrote note in which she
begged her paramour not to kill him
self. She then sent a bullet into her
own brain and was dead few mo-
ments later. Gertrude West, as she
was known here, came TO Kansas City
nearly a year ago from Aquas ca
liente, Ariz., where she had separated
from her husband. She was an elo-
cutionist of much ability and an ac-
complished musician. For time she
is said to have been on the stage,
but this was abandoned and the next
heard of her was October 10, when she
was taken to police headquarters and
treated for morphine poisoning. She
admitted that she had tried tn kill
herself because of unrequited atfcc-
ton for Frank Quigley, whom she had
met one month previously. Mrs. West
was offered a money consideration to
leave the city or to at least cease to
know Frank Quigley, but this and all
other offers she declined. In Spiri;
of remorse for her past she had moved
to q respectable house on Washing
ton street, where she represented her
self to be travelling saleswoman, the
wife of commercial traveller. Her
evident refinement earned for her the
regard of everyone with whom she
met in this higher life and absolutely
no one believed that she was other
than what she had said. But her in
fatuation for Quigley she could not

the sequel.
