MONEY NOT ALLOWED TO SHOOT.
Barred Out of Coming Pigeon Match
in London.

LONDON, June 25-Considerable ill-feel-
ing has been aroused by the refusal of the
Hurlingham Gun Club officials to allow the
well-known American pigeon shot, Captain
a. w. Money, to compete in the interna-
tional pigeon shooting, which commences
tomorrow. Money was formerly a member
of the Hurlingham Club, but he allowed his
membership to lapse.
The alleged reason for the present refusal
is that Money does not belong to any club
of recognized position, but as Money has
been constant competitor in these con-
tests it is generally thought that the point
even If true, might have been waived
Among the Americans competing will be

Acting Adjt. Gen. Andrews today re-

Major Blair D. Taylor, medical depart
ment, Honolulu, reports four deaths from
bubonic plague at Honolulu from May -

ton In segregating inhabitants infected

STRIKE MAY SPREAD
Other Employees of Reading Likely to
Join Machinists.
Mr.. BAER'S NOTICE DISREGARDED
None of the Strikers Returned to
Work Today.
THEY WILL BE DISCHARGED

READING, Pa, June 25.-The striking
shopmen of the Philadelphia and Reading
Company did not return to work today, as
they had been urged to do by President
Baer in his letter of Saturday. Accord
ing to the companys figures, not dozen
men out of the one thousand who struck
returned to work On the other hand there
were some accessions to the ranks of the
strikers, and If President Baer's threat
that all men who failed to report for work
this morning would be discharged is car
ried into effect there Is likely to be trouble
before the shops are again in operation.
The company's clerks worked until a
late hour last night preparatory to paying
off those who disregarded the presidents
order. The car shops are crippled. and
the boiler making and blacksmith depart
ments idle. Molders and ma chinists
are waiting for orders to strike. Today A.
H Beschor, chairman of the joint eXecu-
tive committee of the strikers admonished
the men to keep away from saloons and
company property and to at all times be-
have with propriety.
Strikers Follow Good Advice.
The strikers are following the advice
given by the leaders not to go near the
company's property.
That the strike, though barely inaugu-
rated, is being felt in the community Is
shown by the caution with which many
business men are laying in supplies. The
merchants say that until the difficulty is
settled they will not invest in any quantity
of goods.
The situation is becoming grave and a
general strike is predicted over the greater
portion of the cOmpany's system, If the
grievances of the men are not heard. The
impression is current that in order to win
the strike not only the shop employees still
at work but the trainmen also must be
called out.

ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE
SOLE TERMS ON WHICH ROERs WILL
NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE.
Consul General Pierce Recftes Some
Interesting Statistics About
the War.

There is no reason to believe that the
war in South Africa is any nearer the ter
mination desired by England than at any
time since it began is the statement con-
tanned in circular letter sent out June -
by Charles D. Pierce, consul general of the
Orange Free State and trustee and treas
urer of the Boer relief fund, whose offices
are at No. 1856 Liberty street, New York.
Mr. Pierce says hundreds of letters are re-
ceived by his office asking for information
regarding the true status Of the Beers, the
war and to the truthfulness of state
ments which are daily disseminated
throughout the United States by the Brit
ish te the injury of the Boer cause. No
credence he says, can be given to reports
emanatng from British sources which
come through prejudced channels and CEN
sored cable dispatches. After quoting Lord
kitchener's report to the London war Of
flee, recommending that fresh terms be Of
fered to the Beers, including a restoration
of prisoners reinstating the farmers with
state assistance and equal political rights,
and amnesty to Cape rebels, Mr.. Pierce
says official reports, as well as letters from
privates and others at the seat of war to
the English press, show that the cost of
the struggle has been enormous. He gives
a table of British casualties. as follows:
Officially admitted by reports to May
ernment admission).. observation-disclosures. 1900
1nvalidS at rest centerS. Observation-Disclosures. 5000
Colonial invalds. s........................ 5000
Civilian deaths..... 1000
Casualties since March 31... 1000
Total loss to British. ................. "a ,43S
In addition the Beers have captured and
released about 10000 prisoners.
Independence or Nothing.
Continuing, the statement is made that
the terms of peace offered by England in
the late negotiations are an indication that
she has not been successful and desires to
withdraw from a war which has yielded
her neither gain nor glory. The rejection
of these terms, says Mr. Pierce, show how
the Beers regard their chances of success,
and he declares the only terms they will
accept are absolute Independence.
Further on, after reviewing the struggles
made by the Beers, it is stated that the
war has already cost Great Britain 81 ,010,-
GD.G0 in gold, a sum twice greater than
the entire value of the republics, and that
now. having failed to subjugate the Beers,
she is seeking to depopulate their coun-
try and Starve the people into submission.
Mr.. Pierce declares that 65,000 women
and children are held prisoners by the
British, confined in barns outbuildings
tents and prison pens guarded by soldiers
and supplied with a ration of two pounds
of flour and three pounds of cornmeal a
week to each person, and to obtain this
allowance women often stand In line twelve
or eighteen hours.
In conclusion the estimate is given that
1t has cost England 100000 for every Boer
that has been killed
