A Monster Chimney.

At Constable Hook, N. j., there is
being built chimney, which when
completed will be the tallest on the
American continent. In laying the
foundations for this monster an exca-
walton of 20 feet deep and AS feet
square was made to hard gravel. This
area was filed with piles closely
driven, and upon the platform a base
of freproof brick 30 feet square by
30 feet in height was built. On the
base a round chimney of brick is to be
butt up to total height of 300 feet.
The stack is to be 10 feet in diameter

The cost of erection is in the neighbour
hood of $4,000.

he trying to read the paper, while
she was lecturing him on his dissipat-

That's very true, DEAR" replied
Mrs. Growells, smiling at the thought
that her remark would elicit com
pliment, "but where can man always
get such wife?"

NpOSAal W Tue fEhAbDs
Seattle, Wash, March 27.-The first
serious accident in the new Great
Northern tunnel, which was opened
for traffic about three months ago.
took place Monday afternoon and re-
suited in the death of Engineer w, w.
Bradley from suffocation from the poi
sonous gases in the tunnel. His fire.
man, Joe w. Smith, was overcome, but
recovered. Five other trainmen were
overcome, but recovered soon after
getting in the open air. The train.
which was east-bound, became stalled
in the middle of the tunnel. The fumes
of the engine filed the place and the
men were forced to leave the train and
lie on the floor of the tunnel for safe
ty. When the train failed to appear at
the far end of the tunnel the watchers
there feared that something had hap
pened and started in with relief en-
CINE. The body of the dead engineer
was found face down in ditch at the
side of the track. The other men were
found on the track. The rescuers had
hard time getting to the scene, owing
to smoke and gas. All the men rescued
were taken to the hospital at Everett
and are nearly recovered.

BIGGEST SHIP YET.
Ixorea, Launched MT Newport News,

Washington, March 25.-The Korea,
which was launched Saturday at the
Newport News Shipbuilding com
pany's works, bears the distinction
of being up to date the largest steam
vessel ever built on this side of the
Atlantic. With a length of 572 feet
A inches and beam of GO feet, she
will displace $4,000 tons on draft of
IL feet. Some idea of the size of the
Korea may be derived from the fact
that from the top to the bottom of
the bare hull is distance of 40 feet,
while the distance around her rail
is nearly quarter of mile. She is
to be fitted with engines of $4,000
horse power, sufficient to propel her
at a speed of from IS to 20 knots.
The Korea viii accommodate 1,49O
passengers, of whom 200 will be first
cabin passengers. She is designed
for the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, to ply between San Francisco

Great Alarm Mt Queenstown, Cape

Queenstown, Cape Colony, March 90.
The town guard here has been
called out owing to reports that a
force of Beers is near the town.
Business has been shut down in or
der to allow the employees to man
the trenches and forts day and night.
The Beers, who are said to be 20
miles off, are alleged to have crossed
the railroad near Drummond.
London, March 26.-The colonial
secretary, Mr.. Chamberlain, when
asked in the hosse of commons Mon
day if it was possible to. change the
offer of peace terms to the Beers,
said the negotiations were closed and
there was no intention of reopeuing
them.
London, March 26.-The war Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener:
pretoria, March 25.-Babington's force,
including Shekleton's column. attacked De-
larey, $500 strong. southwest of Venters-
dorp and having defeated him followed
him up rapidly with the result that the
Boer rear guard was driven in and their
convoy, including the guns captured at
Vaars bank. Our troops displayed
great gallantry and dash. They cap
tured two 15-pounder guns, one POM
pom, six Maxlms. 800 rounds of big am
munition, 1900 rounds of small ammuni-
ton, 100 rifles, So wagons and "a carts, be-
sides taking 40 prisoners. Our losses were
slight. Many Beers were killed or
wounded"
Cape Town, March 26.--It is said the
Beers lost very heavily in attacking
the garrison at Lichtenburg last week.
Upwards of 20 burghers are reported
to have been shot at one spot among
The wire entanglements.
London, March 26.-The official
casualty list issued Monday evening
indicates a renewal of active opera
tons since the failure of the nego-
tiations between Lord Kitchener and
Gen. Botha. At Hartebeestefontein
March % and %, two officers were
killed and three wounded, and four
men killed and 20 wounded. There
alsoseems to have been heavy fighting
at place near Gredgedacht March 10
and near Ventersburg March 16.
Ventersdorp, the scene of the defeat
of Delarey, is about 25 miles north
east from Hartebeestefontein. 1t is
possible, therefore, that the advices
as to fighting at these points really
refer to the same engagement.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
Standard says that it is obvious that
some months must pass before Boer
resistance can be crushed.

the Daily Express says he understands
that Mr.. Kruger has advised Acting
President schalkburger to formulate

TIENTSIN DISPUTE.
Plan Of Settlement Said to Have
Been Agreed Upon.

London, March 26.-"M. de Giers has
emphatically declined" says DR.. Nor.
rison, wiring to the Times from Peking
Sunday, "to grant an extension of the
period for signing and further amend
ing the Manchurian convention, which
the Chinese court implored. Ii Hung
Chang continues to urge the expedi-
ency of immediate compliance. His
hands were strengthened by Count Won
Buelow's statement in the reichstag
hat the Anglo-German agreement does
not apply to Manchuria.
Russia Has Not Withdrawn.
London, March 26-Replying to Sir
Ellis Ashmead-D CONSERVATIVE,
who asked in the house of commons
Monday whether Russia had presented
China with modified agreement re-
garding Manchuria, and whether Rus
STA had withdrawn from the so-called
concert of Europe, the under foreign
secretary, Lord Cranborne, said the
government understood that the terms
of the proposed agreement were still
under discussion, but he was unable
to make any positive statement on
that subject. The Russian govern
ment, he added, had informed the gov
eminent of Great Britain that Russia
had no intention of withdrawing from
cooperation with the other powers in
China.
Questioned in regard to the Russian
concession at Tientsin, Lord Gran
borne said Ii Hung Chang signed an
agreement granting Russia a consid-
cradle tract of land, which the Russian
military authorities had previously
claimed by right of conquest. The
British foreign Office was not aware
by what authority Ii Hung Chang
signed the concession, but the Chinese
government had declared it's validity,
and therefore it must be reserved for
future examination. Count Lams-
dorff made q similar declaration on
March 20.
Unable to Agree.
Picking, March 24.-The foreign
ministers seem utterly unable to
agree as to the best method of polio
ing the legation quarter. The propo-
sition most favored by the majority
and most complained of by the mi
nority is one providing that men of
the regular armies shall be detailed
FOR the service, under one officer con-
nected with the allies.
United States Special Commission
er Rockhill is one who objects to this
plan, is also the British minister, Sir
Ernest Satow, who says that, though
an international force is desirable, it
would be better that the police detail
should be composed of soldiers who
are not liable to be called away when
they are most useful. 1t is also I'M
desirable, he thinks, that the COM
mandant should be an officer active
ly connected with apy army, while
the intention to make each legation
practically an armed camp is a great
mistake and is liable to cause fric-
ton; and it would be better far to
make general international district.

Gates, therefore, the capture of one

colonials in rocky detile near Rich

the colonials lost 10 men before they
surrendered, adding that they were all

London, March 27.-The Amsterdam
correspondent of the Daily Mail wires
the substance of an interview with Mr..
Kruger, whom he found in a 'most OPP

ington's victory over Gen. Delarey had
been, Mr.. Kruger thought, exaggera-
ted in the reports. He said the Maya
liesburg range and Rustenburg were
again in the possession of the Boers,"

old guerrilla game would continue I'M

sumed in consequence that the picture
was all RIGHT.
