Joseph Chamberlain, colonial Sec
retary for Great Britain, on Tuesday,
informed the house Of commons that
General Botha had rejected the peace
terms that had been offered to him by
General Kitchener. This, of course,
means that the war is not yet at an
end and that the British have a lot
more to do before the Beers are con-
quered.
The Yokohoma, Japan, correspon-
dent of the London Daily Mail repre-
sents opinion in Japan as being very
much infiamed by the Russian camp
in Manchuria. He says that military
conferences are frequent. Quantities
of coal are being imported. The ma
rine insurance companies are demand
ing higher rates and refuse to take war
risks in China. Another cause for ir-
ritation is Russia's action at Masam-
po, Corea. 1t Is asserted that she is
violating the conditions Of the conven-
tion Of 1898 respecting the Masampo
concession, the depots and hospitals
she Is building there being really bar
racks for troops who have been land
ed. Notice has been given Of an inter-
pallation in the Diet calling for de-
claration of the governments policy
The newspapers declare that Russian
ascendancy in Corea must be preven-
ted at any cost.

THIS IS ABOUT CoRREcT.-It is very
clear that the Philippine situation is
at last yielding to American treatment
and there is good promise Of the estab-
lishment Of peace and the beginning Of
a period of improvement and develop
ment in the islands. 1t Is expected now
that civil rule will be inaugurated in
May, with Judge Taft, president Of
the commission, as governor of the ar
chipelago. 1t will be necessary, of
course, to maintain a large military
force in the islands for sometime to
come, and doubtless there will be inter-
mittent fighting in various parts Of
the archipelago for a long time, but
the backbone Of resistance to Ameri-
can sovereignty is broken and the
longer our flag floats over the islands
the more reluctant will the Filipinos
be to have it withdrawn.-Charlest

The action of the York Cotton mill
people in electing Mr.. w. r. Carroll
to the presidency and management OF
their corporation is. to say the least
an earnest of their sound judgment un-

affairs Of the company from its Or
ganization, and understands cotton and
the mill business generally. He Is
every inch a business man-safe and
conservative-and q little time Is likely
to further prove the wisdom of his Sc
lection. Messrs. Willis, Lewis and Mil

rectorate.
Spartanburg Journal, Wednesday:
The suicide Of John R. Ashe, Of the
York Cotton mills, is one Of the sad
dest events that has occurred in this
state in long time. 1t is doubly sad
because it was even more unnecessary
and unjustifiable than suicides usu-
ally are. A strong, intelligent and de-
termined man can always come out
successful in the end no matter how
dark things may look for time. This
unfortunate man was depressed by
great financial burdens; but no great
er than have been overcome by many
men with no more resources than
he had. The man who never gives up
is never beaten.

| word, he was complete; as man he
was all man and Of the highest type. I
knew him we'll and believed in him
and admired him, which I can say Of
few men 1 have known we'll. Those Of
his blood who survive him and the peo-
pie of South Carolina, have my pro-
found sympathy in their loss. They
may find consolation that all men must
die and that this man died as a man
should, and as every man hopes to die,
with his reputation untarnished, his
work holding good, his name honored
and with abundant years. He was
big man and did great work for South
Carolina in the time Of her sorest need.
The results live while he is dead in
obedience to the universal law. No
man could wish to leave a better re-
membrance or to have his life better
filled"
Tried to Burn His Store.
Morris Switzer, a Polish Jew, is in
Jail in Greenville, charged with at
tempting to burn his store in that city
early Sunday morning. The attention
of two policemen was directed to the
fact that the front window shades in
Switzer's store were closely drawn, a
circumstance which was considered
suspicious, and an investigation was
made at once. Upon entering the store
a dim light was seen coming from a
candle. The candle was stuck in
box and was encircled by pasteboard
crown, such as come with hats, and
matches was strewn around the candle
inside the circle Of the crown, while the
box was otherwise full Of paper. The
box was set underneath some shelving
back against the wall, and on the
shelves was a large quantity of CLOTH
ing.
Does Not Apply to Judges?
Columbia correspondence Of The
News and Courier: 1t is most unus-
ual thing for judge to pay fine i'm
posed by any court, but several days
ago a distinguished judge Of South
Carolina was in a flourishing town not
far away. Unexpectedly smallpox was
discovered in the hotel where the jurist
lodged. Then there was trouble. Court
had to be adjourned in response to
popular demand, and when the judge
came out from his hotel he was told
that he would have to regard himself
as under quarantine. He explained
that he preferred to get out Of town on
the next train, which would soon be
due. This seemed to be objected to,
and in the meanwhile the judge had
himself placed in the custody of the
sheriff. 1t was not long before the
train arrived, and while the town mar
shall was off getting up others who
were in the hotel where the smallpox
started, the train came along and soon
the judge was in another state. Then
the mayor Of the town got after the
town marshal for letting the judge get
away and fined him $5, and this fine
the judge made good. The judge rec
ognized the right and authority Of the
town authorities to establish a quar-
antine and enforce 1t and would have
helped in so doing, but he got away be-
fore the quarantine was established,
and before any formal action in that
direction was taken, and he saw no
reason to prevent his leaving the town
and state, especially as he had been
in an entirely different part Of the ho-
tel from the patient who was said to
have smallpox and he could not remain
in quarantine, as he will have to open
another court next Monday.

MAY INACCURATE NEW SYSTEM
Money Order Superintendent Meets
New Postmaster

James +. Metcalf, of Washington, d.
c.. superintendent Of the money order
department, visited Wilmington yester-
day and held a conference with Post
master w. L. Head regarding the money
order business Of the local Office which
has fallen off somewhat.
The plan that Superintendent Metcalf
has introduced in all large cities is TO
have the banks act as a clearing house.
The idea is to have a merchant who re-
ceives a money order instead of sending
to the postoflice to have the order cashed
to deposit it in his bank. with his other
checks. These money orders are then
sent to the clearing house each day and
the Government depository in the city
takes charge Of them and pays them, as
they would their own check. This bank
then takes all the money orders 30 the
postofice and gets the cash for them.

TOOK POISON
BY MISTAKE
As a Result George CeyOr
Came Near Dying
dad Smoked the Drug for Asthma
and Took a Dose in Mistake
for LicOrice

George Ceyer, living with his parents
at Fifth and Scott streets, took dose of
powdered jimson weed in mistake for
powdered licorice yesterday and that he
is alive today, physicians say is little
short Of marvellous.
Ceyer is a barber and is employed in
the shop Of John Weigand i'm Maryland
avenue. lie has been a great sufferer
from asthma for several years and as a
remedy he has been using powdered jim
son weed which he smoked in a pipe.
Yesterday morning he became in and
took what he supposed TO be n dose of
powdered licorice. 1t was but few mo-
ments before he was seized with convul-
sions, and writhed in great agony on the
floor
Members of the family summoned
physician. who ON making an examination.
pronounced il case of poisoning. Later
it was learned thar the young man had
taken a large dose of jimson weed, rank
poison.
The young mans condition rapidly be-
came worse and for several hours his life
was despaired of. Another physician
was summoned and a stomach pump was
applied. The two physicians battled with
his case for nearly two hours before there
was any signs of a change for the better.
Late i'm the afternoon he revived and TO-
day his condition is much improved.
His recovery is regarded as almost a
miracle as he took enough Of the poison
to kill two men.
