WASHINGTON Oct. 25.-General
Samuel Pearson, who is an adjutant on
the staf Of General Botha, one Of the
BOer leaders. has arrived in Washing
ton and is sthyang at the apartments
Of Mr.. G. w. Van Der Hooght, the
Boer representative In Washington.
During a visit to Europe before COM
ing here General Pearson had inter
views with DR.. Leyds. the Transvaal
agent In that country. and with other
leading men from the South African
republics. He says the Beers will not
give up to the British, but will fight to
the end. General Pearson hopes to en-
list the sympathies of the people of this
country In behalf of the BOer men, wo-
men and children who are now kept by
the British in reconcentrado camps.
There is, he says, no reason for locat-
ing them in these camps when there are
ample accommodations in the country
for them
There are now 100000 persons so sit
uated. and during the month of Sep
tember the mortality among them ap-
proximated 2.40O in all. He says the
soldiers are willing to submit to the
hardships Of the campaign and to the
rules Of war. but the helpless men.
women and children In the camps
should be accorded humane treatment.
AS the American consul at Pretoria
watched after the interests Of the Brit
ish prisoners there he declares it would
be proper and just for the Beers to
have the representative Of some friend
ly government look after the interests
of the recOncentrados.
During his stay in Washington the
general will seek an interview with
President Roosevelt to acquaint him
with the situation existing in South At
rica. He also will make a further effort
to prevent the shipment Of mules from
this country to South Africa and to
have the matter carried to the. supreme
court Of the United States.

she was somewhat hysterical, her con-

Mrs. Taylor's trip covered mile ride
through the Canadian rapids before
she reached the brink of the ppecipice.
Her barrel. stanch as barrel could be
made. was twisted and toppled and
butreted through those delirious wa
ters, but escaped serious contact with
rocks. As it plunged through the
smoother, swifter waters that rushed
over into the abyss 1t rode in an al
most perpendicular position. with its
upper half out of the water. As 1t

The ride through the rapids occupied
eighteen minutes. 1t was 4:23 o'clock

not be seen as it struck the water be-
low because Of the spray, but in less

Other Commercial Advantage
For the United States.
| WASHINGTON, Oct. rs. - Special
Commissioner ROckhill called at the
state department and reported his ar
rival in Washington. Mr.. Rockhill has
resumed charge Of the bureau Of Amer
lean republics. His Chinese mission is
discharged, with the single exception
that he must submit to Secretary Hay
a final report upon it.
Mr.. Rockhill brings with him cor
rected copy of the final protocol. Up
to this time the state department has
not been In possession Of this dOcu-
ment. Indeed. as the last revision was
made on Sept. %, when some very nee
essary but not very interesting changes
were made in the protocols there has
not been time for the text to reach the
department until Mr.. Rockhill arrived.
The department already has taken
steps to have these protocols published
for general information, as in them the
commercial world will find many mat
ters of interest.
In connection with these sections of
the protocols 1t may be noted that 1t
was solely through the efforts Of the
United States government, as eXerted
through Mr.. Rockhill, that what are
known as the commercial concessions
in the protocols were secured. Thus u
single staple-namely four-was plac-
ed upon the Chinese free list. In view
of the present large market in China
for American -four and the enormous
prospective demand to follow closer re.
lations, this one concession is regarded
of great value. n' so'
The improvements the Chinese gov
ernment is pledged to make in the nav
igation of the pciho and other Chinese
