NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
New German Tariff

Consul John E. Kehl, at Stcttin, Ger
many. in report discussing the effect
of the proposed new German tariff, says
the first effect of increase over the pres
ent import duty on foodstuffs coming
into the Empire will be an advance in
the price of these articles.
The cost of living in Germany, Mr..
Kehl says, at present is from 10 to so
per cent. higher than in the United
States, while wages are about one-third
those paid in America. To balance the
increased cost of living, wages must be
increased, which again will enhance the
cost of production and the selling price,
thus placing the,burden of higher i'm
port duty on the people in general.
Germany, the consul says, has not the
natural resources to supply her people S
demand for meats and agricultural prod
ucts, and with the constant increase in
population and the evolution from an
agricultural to an industrial company it
is quite natural, he says, that the demand
for food would advance and the produc-
tion decrease.

c0NyIcTS SHOT DOWN.
Three Of the Leavenworth Fugitives Killed
and One Wounded.

Leavenworth, Kans. Especially Five
of the twenty-six convicts who escaped
from the stockade of the new federal
prison here have been accounted for.
Three of the FIVE are dead:
James Hoffman, aged 20 years, white
J. J. Pofenholn, aged rs years, white,
a soldier convict.
John Green, aged 81 years, white.
The fourth, Willard Drake. white,
aged 10, is wounded and recaptured and
the fifth Fred Moore, aged 10, a negro,
is recaptured unhurt.
The five men were discovered in the
barn OF Fay Weishaar, near Nortonville,
Kans., about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Weishaar went into the barn and was
ordered out at the point of guns. He
rushed to Nortonville and gathered
posse of men, who, with revolvers, shot
guns and a few Winchcsters, fastened
TO the scene. The convicts saw them
coming and rushed from the barn. They
had two shotguns and revolvers. The
posse pursued them and running duel
resulted.
The convicts were at disadvantage
and their shots had no effect, while at
every volley from the posse one of the
convicts fell After two of them had
fallen, two of the others gave themselves
up, one being wounded, the other unhurt
The fifth was fully 200 yards away when
a man with Winchester drew bead on
him and fired. He evidently had been hit,
but tried to go on. A volley was fred at
him and he fell dead. None of the citi
zens was hurt.
Reports come from numerous points of
the arrest of men supposed to be fugi-
tive convicts, but none of the suspects
has been identified. The oldest of the
fugitives is aged 28.
Quinn Fort, who was killed, was 10
years old. One of the convicts still at
large is a military prisoner, and the re-
mainder were serving terms for robhery
or assault

The Chinese plenipotentiaries refused

BOERS DYING BY HUNDREDS.
English Newspaper Shows Up the Horrible
Work Of the Government In Africa.

London, (By Cable) - The Daily
News exhaustively surveys the concen-
tration camps in South Africa, with the
following conclusion:
The truth is that the death rate in the
camps is comparatively worse than any
thing Africa or Asia can show. There
is nothing to match it even in the NOR
tality figures of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics have
to be contended with.
Statistics are produced in proof of this
assertion.
The governments advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth that THE term of employment will
be one year certain is prominently dis
played as evidence that the authorities
have no intention of ending the whole
sale destruction of human life"
The Daily News urges all humane
men not to wait for official reports, but
to insist 'on the camps being broken up
and the people, distributed among their
friends"

M. Roc, IIss Ills Troubles.

Secretary Root is very much perplexed
in preparing his annual report on nccount
of the delay in receiving the report II
the Philippine Commission.
The commissions report, together with
a special envoy sent to the Philippines to
report on the banking and currency con-
ditons of the island, left Manila on the
transport Sheridan. Two weeks ago the
Sheridan broke down in Japan and the
Warren was ordered to bring her passen-
gers and important mail A few days
ago the Warren broke down, and the
Hancock has just sailed from Manila to
take her place.
These accidents will prevent the reoort
of the Philippine Commission, as well as
the report of the special representative on
currency, from reaching Secretary Root
in time to be used in his annual report
Meanwhile he is using such information
as has already been prepared in the Btu
reau of Insular Affairs. but it is likely
that a supplemental report will be made
by the Secretary. covering the Philip
pines and based upon the commission S
report.

Sword to Go Next.

Army officers consider it as probable
that the ornate swords worn in the serv-
ice at no distant day will be discarded
as a part of soldiers equipment.
The sword is believed to be of little
use in these days of long-distance fight
ing and serves now little other purpose
than as an emblem of authority. Brit
ish officers in the South African cam
paign have found the sword often ham
pered them in battle, and there have
been few, if any, occasions where il
was used as weapon of attack or de-
fense. Hand-to-hand encounters are
thought to have passed away with the
advent of smokeless powder and modern
small arms The cavalry may continue
to use the sword, but there are so few
reasons for retaining it as an implement
of warfare that it is regarded as likely
to be the next arm rejected as obsolete.

BULGARIA WARNED.
Her Troops Must Stop fiampering the
Negotiations.

Sofa, Bulgaria (By Cable) .-Informa-
tion has been received here from Doub-
nitza that the band of brigands holding
captive Miss Ellen NJ Stone, the Amer
lean missionary, called about a fortnight
ago at the village OF Smetchevo and sub
sequently went to the monastery of Rilo
but the movements of the troops COM
PEELED the brigands to flee toward the
frontier, where they are now in hiding
1t is also said that the brigands have
recently been treating Miss Stone with
more severity, in order to exercise press
ure and compel more ready acceptance
OF their conditions.
Consul-General Dickinson is inhexible
He insists that the surrender Of Miss
Stone must precede or be simultaneous
with the payment of the ransom. His
attitude is justified by the known deter
mination of some members of the band
particularly the captain, Yanne Sandan-
sky, TO kill Miss Stone and her compan-
IONS as soon as the ransom is received
owing to the fact that the captives have
now acquired information concerning
the secret committees. Competent per-
sons, however, express the opinion that
me cupidny OF the brigands will over
come their fear of revelations.
Mr.. Dickinson has made energetic rep
resentations to the Bulgarian Govern
ment against the movements of the Bull
garian troops, reproaching the officials
with the fact that, Notwithstanding their
solemn promises to give him all the as
sistance IN their power, their action was
embarrassing the negotiations, retarding
settlement and putting in jeopardy the
life OF Miss stone He made definite
declaration that the Bulgarian Govern
1nent would be held responsible for the
death OF Miss Stone and of all the con
sequences OF her death, should it be
proved that the attitude of the Govern
ment forced the brigands TO kill the cap

ng, Green county farmmer, on charge
of using the mails to defraud.
Levering's scheme was novel one.
and his alleged victims were mostly pro
fessors of colleges throughout the coun-
try, and collectors. Bogus Indian relics
of every description--axes, pipes, images
and various other curiosities-were pro
duced before the jury by witnesses. who
said Levering had told them that he dug
them out of mounds thousands of years
old, where they had been placed by In
dians. Levering's alleged victims pur-
chased large numbers of these relics"
paying large prices for them.
