BRITAIN MUST END WAR
Influences at Work on Continent to
Bring About Peace.

New York, July 29.-Following in
formation cabled that rumors of an
important step toward enforcing
peace between England and the
Beers had pervaded the house of COM
by Gibson Bowles, conservative, that
caused a profound sensation, says a
London correspondent of the World.
Mr.. Bowles gave the government sol
emn warning that unless peace was
made in South Africa before spI<ng
extremely grave complications would
confront England and Europe.
The speaker declared further that
he knew that negotiations were pro-
ceeding on the continent within the
last six months, and were still active,
with the object of inducing or en-
forcing peace.
In view of these conditions, he said,
England could not persist in outrag-
ing the feelings of the great powers
without paying a heavy penalty.
A ministerial contradiction of the
statement made by Mr.. Bowles was
looked for but none came.
Upon inquiry in the lobby of the
author of the warning, World cor
respondent learned that Mr.. Bowles,
who though conservative is some
what disaffected and more or less
antagonistic to the ministry, referred
i'm his speech to q movement set on
foot by Premier Dekuper of Holland,
aided by Queen Wilhelmina, by which
he had succeeded in interesting the
Emperor of Germany and the ear of
Russia so far that their negotiations
were fast approaching point where
England could no longer safely ig-
more them.
Edmund Robertson. member of the
recent liberal parliament, corro-
borated what Mr.. Bowles had said
and declared that he spoke from his
own knowledge of the situation.
These public utterances, uncontra-
dicted by the government, taken in
conjunction with President kruger's
return to The Hague, and with the
repeated journeys of Mr.. Leyds,
diplomatic agent of the South African
republics in Europe between Berlin,
Brussels, The Hague and Paris, re?
Gently, point To important develop
ments at an early date.
As previously cabled it is said that
the kaiser is to enter the role of
peacemaker. having been empowered
by Kruger to act for the Beers; that
the kaiser is willing to take the ini-
tiative in order to popularize his
relations with the German people,
who disapprove his friendship for
Great Britain.

SAYS KANSAS Can sTANDTT.
Paul Morton of santa Fe Road Talks of
Crop Conditions.

New York, July 26-Vice President
Paul Morton of the Atchison, Topeka
a. Santa Fe railway is here and talks
freely on crop conditions and the bus
mess outlook with special reference
to the interests of the great system
with which he is connected.
lit is true" said Mr.. Morton, that
the corn crop in Kansas and Missouri
has been seriously damaged by hot
winds, but think the reports of dam
age in Nebraska and Iowa have been
very much exaggerated. Corn in 1lli-
nois, Indiana and Ohio is looking well
and with rain ought. to make an aver
age crop. The loss of the corn crop
in Kansas and Missouri to the rail
roads is not anything like the serious
matter which it used 10 be. Take, for
instance, the Atkinson road. 1t has
diversified its tonnage to such an eX-
tent that corn is not now the all-im-
portant factor as it used to be in
making earnings.
There are many things that can
happen to make up the loss of the
corn crop and the people of Kansas
and the railways are to be congratu-
lated on the prosperous condition
they are in to meet this loss. The
people of Kansas never owned as
much and owed as little as they do

COSTLY DAVENPORT FIRE
Twenty City Blocks Swept by an
Awful CONFEDERATION


Davenport, July 26.-Fire laid waste
an area of saw mill and residence
property in davenport last evening
equal to twenty ordinary city blocks.
The flames started at 2:30 o'clock
in piles of hndling wood belonging
to the Island Fuel company on the
levee. A brisk breeze was blowing,
| carrying the names uirectly across
| the immense lumber yards of Weyer-
hauser-Denkmann, which were soon
a seething mass of flames. The
| spread of the fire was SO rapid that
workmen barely had time to desert
| the yard. The flames pushed their
way into the adjoining residence dis
trict, closely settled with middle class
| houses.
The average value was few thou
| sand dollars each. The occupants es-
capped only with their lives and cloth
| ing on their backs. Over fifty homes
| thus burned, some tenements, result
| ing in 100 families being rendered
| homeless.
The fire was fought heroically by
| the fire departments of Davenport
Rock Island and Moline, ILL.,. the lat
ter cities responding promptly to ap-
| peal for aid.
| Efforts to check the flames were
unavailing until they spread on the
north of the spacious grounds OF ST.
! Katherine's hall, boarding school
| for young ladies, which was saved
after the tower burned off. Gradual
ly the battle was waged on the edges
of the flaming district. BY 10 O'Clock
| the confiagration was under control.
The mill of the Weyerhauser-Denk-
mann and yards were totally ue-
stroy. Loss, 100000.
The other losses will aggregate
| $500, 900 or more. The U. n. Roberts
Sash Door factory, the Red Jacket
Pump company, the Standard Oil
| company, the Riverside mill and the
Davenport Wooden mills had narrow
escapes, the flames being checked
| Just before reaching them.
1t is believed there were no fatal
ties.
Not a drop of rain having fallen
here in three weeks, the lumber yards
furnished food for the flames that
quickly put the confiagration beyond
the control of the firemen.
Had the breeze blown from the east
| the entire business portion of the city
would have been swept away. For
tunately a southwest breeze carried
the flames towards the bluffs, ami as
soon as they were out of the thicktS
settled district the efforts of the fire
men and hundreds of volunteers final
ly brought the fire under control.
The entire district from Federal
| street to Bridge avenue and from The
river to Seventh street was swept
| clean.
The heat was intense, and two am
balances were kept busy hauling away
| persons who were Frustrated by IT.
| In few instances persons living IN
| the burned district have not been To-
Gated by their relatives, but it is be-
! lieved that they escaped.
Probably 100 families were rendered
| homeless by the flames, and homes
and hotels were turned over To them
for the night Hundreds of Others
moved temporarily from their homes
and vacant lots over a large portion
of the town were filed last night with
household furniture and the refugees
| from the burned district.
1t is believed the FIRE was caused
by boys smoking on the lcvse.
