was about quarter of a mile and he
made II round trips. He was at
work four hours on Monday night.
Four small bars of refined gold he
concealed among the stones of the
breakwater, just at the further mouth
of the railroad tunnel
His purpose had been to use this
gold for present needs.
Winters on his last trip had per-
ceived that dawn was breaking. Not
daring to complete the trip he laid on
the shore the two bricks which were
found at the poiEt where the robbers
boat was supposed to have landed.
The trail of red pepper ending at that
point had been blind.
In view of the fact that promises
of clemency were made Winters in
consideration of his unearthing the
gold, it is thought that his punishn ent
will be light
Detective Gibson is quoted as say
ing that it was promised Winters by
President Ralston of the Selby Smelt-
ing works that he should not only not
be prosecuted, but should receive $685.,
600.
Winters can not be prosecuted, .
said Detective Gibson, "for there is
no evidence against him. All that has
been drawn from him was secured
by the detectives under promise that
it would not be used against him. I'm
der such circumstances it would be
extremely difficult to secure convic-
ton"

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report of trade for last
week says:
Despite some irregularity due to the
recurrence of corn damage, news in the
majority reports from the eastern sur
plus producing states and the formal
launching of the much heralded gen.
eral steel strike, the aggregate business
the country over seems to be good, and
in most sections in unprecedented vol
ume for this season of the year. All
available measures of supply, demand
and movement point to the business
done in July as having exceed any
thing transacted in any similar mid
summer month. This, too. despite the
exceptionally hot weather, drouth,
strike talk and similar conditions un-
favorable to business extension.
The main strength of wheat, how
ever, lies in the continued heavy ex-
port business, the clearances for the
week being enormous and far in excess
of any previous week on record and
the rather smaller volume of receipts
of winter wheat.
New features are scarce In the iron
and steel trade.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade for last week says:
There is no complaint from any part
of the country over the volume of cur
rent distribution of merchandise and
what hesitation is observed in general
trade is chiefly due to the uncertainty
as to the duration of the labor troubles
in tn eSteel manufacture. Collections
continue good. Better weather has
helped the agricultural community,
money is easy and stocks of merchan-
disc carried are not above the average
for this season of the year, particularly
in the west and southwest. Relief is
felt in all departments of the iron and
steel industry, now that uncertainty is
ended and the position of the contest
ants is made clear. Now the issue may
be determined permanently, and a set
tied condition will greatly facilitate op-
erations. Having no further ammuni
ton in heat and drouth reports for
hosting prices, spectators have turned
suddenly to the other extreme and de-
monstrate that early frosts threaten all
late planted corn.
Eastern shoe manufacturers find con.
ditions as favorable as last week, while
reports from the west are more encour-
aging. Prospects continue to improve
in the market for wooden goods. Little
change is seen in actual sales, but there
is a growing disposition to hold for
the better terms that many in the trade
consider inevitable.
Failures for the week were 173 in
the United States against III last year
and 81 in Canada against % last year.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 1.-THE work Of

New Policy In Africa.

New York, Aug. ll.-Commenting on
the new policy in South Africa, the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune says:
The new policy of reprisals in South
Africa is the chief theme of the leader
writers and of political gossip at West
minister. Opinions vary according to the
temper and prejudice of those discussing
it, but there is little confidence that Gen
eral klrchener's proclamation will shorten
the campaign The penalties imposed are
not considered practical by the best in
formed men. The menace of permanent
Punishment and distraints on property
will not be likely to brighten the fighting
Beers, who have lost all they own except
their rifles and the powder carried by
them.
Practical men are asking how this ques-
ton can be brought under the eyes of
obstinate burghers in the field before Sep
temer 10 and what induces the ministers
to believe that it will have any other effect
than to prolong the conflict. There can be
no effective method of compelling the men
i'll arms to pay for the keep of their fami-
lies dIleE LidI ,udle. HOl IOF enforcing
exile when the war is over
The new policy is not criticized on the
ground that it is essentially inhumane, but
because it lacks common sense. The
whole policy of collecting the .Boer fami-
lies in concentration camps has been open
to criticism as measure for relieving
the combatants from the necessity for
feeding and taking care of their families
and thereby for prolonging the war. Now
that the general result is perceived it is a
sign of weakness for the government to
imagine that the system can be abandoned
and board money collected from the OBJ
stinate burghers.
Military men do not hold General Kitch
ener responsible for the proclamation, but
assert that the terms have been dictated
from the colonial office. They ridicule the
idea that the campaign can be brought tc
an end by manifestos, proposes and
menaceS.

THE SHAMROCK HAS ARRIVED

VIII Proceed to Erie Bnsin-Liu-

Sandy Hook, N. j., Aug. 12-The
Shamrock H., Sir Thomas Lipton's sec.
ond challenger for the Americas Gun.
in tow of her consort, the big steam
yacht Erin, has arrived off Sandy Hook
lightship shortly after IL o'clack and
anchored for the night just inside the
lightship half an hour later.
The newspaper tug, James A. Law
renee, with David Barrie, Sir Thomas
personal representative in this country
had been cruising off Sandy Hook for
two days awaiting the appearance of
the foreign cup hunter. When off the
lightship the Erin burned her signals
and the tug ran alongside Greetings
on both sides were exchanged.
Neither Captain Mathewes Of the
Erin nor Captain Sycamore of the
shamrock would give details of the trim
That they regarded it as fine perfor-
nance was evident from Captain Mat
thews ejaculation of surprise when in
formed that the tugs had been on the
lookout for her for two days.
Give her a chance!" he shouted. AS
a matter of fact the Shamrock IFS
time is less than IA days, counting her
stop of one day at st. Michaels, Azores.
a day better than the time of the old
Shamrock, which was far and away bet
ter than that Of any former challenger.
Captain Matthews first inquiry after
the greeting was of the challenger's op-
ponent, the Constitution, and when he
| learned that she had beaten Columbia
on Saturday, he expressed his pleasure,
and then regret when he was informed
of Columbia's accident in the race.
The yachting sharps aboard the tugs
had no opportunity tonight TO size I'D
the latest aspirant for the honor of lift
ing the cup. She lay simply thin
black smudge on the dark waters, look
ing strange with her stunted jury mast
and queer sloop rig when jib and fore
stays were carried on board She car
! ried the jury mast of the old Shamrock,
but her top mast is Is feet shorter, so
that the distance from deck to truch is
! probably not over 80 feet.
She will be towed in Immediately by
the tug Robert Hadden, the first tug to
speak her, under instruction from Sir
| Thomas before she left to accept the
first tow offered. After passing quar-
antine she will be towed to the man of
war anchorage off Tomkinsville, and
later to the Erie basin, where she will
be stripped and her masts stepped pre-
| paratory to going into dry dock.
King Edward sent for Sir Thomas
Upton last week and made inquiries re-
garding the form of the Shamrock III.
His majecty wished her good luck. Sir
| Thomas informed a representative of
the associated press that the Shamrock
! II. Is nine minutes faster than the
Shamrock |. now and that the Sham
rock |. is five to ten minutes faster than
when she was in American waters. Sir
Thomas has invited the Oxford-C Cam
bridge athletic team which is to COM
pete in Canada and the United States,
to witness the races from on board the
Erin. The Oxford and Cambridge ath-
letes will sail Thursday on the steamer
Commonwealth for Boston. They will
stay day in that city and will then go
to Montreal.
