success, but now II is believed with the
oil development at Beaumont, the rice ana
lumber business the property could he

of passenger traffic between the two cities

WHY STAY PALE.

A pity to see pale girls stay
pale and dull when it is So easy
to get SCOTS Emulsion.
One of the best things
SCOTS Emulsion does is to
give rich blood to pale girls.
The result of regular doses
of SCOTS Emulsion is an in
crease not only in the red
color of the blood and in the
appetite but in the good looks
and bright manners which
are the real charm OF per"
feet health. ,zas

Tremendous Crush Expected at Dali
Ins-specinI Arrangements Made

Dallas, Tex, April 13.-At a meeting
of the Press Committee of the Dallas
Confederate Veterans Reunion Associ-
alton to-day it was decided to establish
a general press Office in the Commercial
Club building and equip the rooms

Press representatives expecting to
attend the reunion are requested to
send their names to Chairman j. G.

The railroads are making every prep
aration for a tremendous crush. Com
mencing with trains arriving In Dallas

noon of April %, the Texas and Pa
cific will have in from the East sixty

ENGLAND HOPES FOR PEACE.
Much Activity in Government Cir
cIcs in London Yesterday.

Much Activity in Government Cir
cIcs in London Yesterday.
London, April 1S.-The announce
ment of the presence at Pretoria of the
Orange Free State and Transvaal lead
ers and generals who have been at
Klerksdorp considering terms of peace
has caused a decided increase in the
hopefulness of the public concerning
the possibilities of peace
The expectations aroused by the con-
ference at Pretoria have been further
heightened by the movements of Mr.
Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary
and other members of the cabinet in
London and evidences that important
dispa tches are passing between Lord
Kitchener and the government.
A conference of members of the cab
met was held last night at midnight
in Mr. Chamberlains house. Mr..
Chamberlain, Mr.. Brodrick, the War
Secretary; Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and
the Duke of Devonshire, president of
the council, were present. The confer
ence terminated at l O'Clock this morn
ing, and to-day Mr.. Chamberlain and
several of the colonial office officials
were in their offices. Messengers passed
between Sir Michael Hicks-B Beach at
his office and Mr.. Chamberlain.
Conferred With King Edward.
At 1 p. M, Mr.. Chamberlain drove
to Buckingham Palace and remained
with King Edward for two hours.
During the afternoon messengers car
ried dispatches from the foreign office
to Lord Salisbury, who, with Mr..
Balfour, the government leader in the
House of Commons, was at Hatfield
House.
These outward signs of Sunday ac-
tivity have not been supplemented by
and authoritative or official state
ment The question most dis
cussed thus far has been whether the
peace negotiations. would affect the
governments proposals, which promise
to be submitted to Parliament to-
morrow. The fact that Sir Michael
Hicks Beach was engaged in his office
nearly all of to-day is taken in quar-
tiers to indicate a modification of the
budget statement.
Kitchener Has the Results.
There appears no doubt that the
Boer leaders have communicated the
results of their deliberations to Lord
Kitchener Attempts will be made in
Parliament tomorrow to draw out
what information the government has
on the South African situation and TO
learn its intentions, but is is not ex-
pected that the government can fore
case the probable outcome of the ne
gotiations. Whatever instructions
have been sent to Lord Kitchener are
believed to be only provisional in char
acter.

One Man KILLED, Another Badly
Beaten ana Woman Slightly
Wounded at Mahanoy City, Pa.
Mahanoy City, Pa. April 1S.-Seven
masked burglars in an encounter in a
boarding house near the GiIberton coll
liery early this morning killed wasil
Talco, aged 35 years, shot and slight
ly wounded Mrs. George Bernitz, his
boarding mistress, and dubbed her
husband so badly that he is in seri-
Gus condition. The battle with the
burglars occurred at 2 a. M, shortly
after Taloo returned from the coal
mines. While he was preparing to re-
tire the seven burglars burst into his
room and commanded him to keep ST.
lent He disobeyed them and began
yelling for help, at which one of the
masked men shot him through the
head and he fell dead. Hearing the
noise, Bernitz and his wife entered the
room to see what was wrong. The two
were instantly seized and in the strug-
gle Mrs. Bernitz received slight bull
let wound in the cheek and her hus-
band was pounded into submission.
Several of the burglars then ransacked
the house, while the others stood guard
over the husband and wife. Three
trunks were burst open and savings
amounting to a few hundred dollars
and two watches were taken. All of
the robbers escaped and the police
have been unable to find clue.

doubtful if the better class of work
men will participate in the movement.
A proclamation by the burgomaster.
written in French and Flemish. has
been posted on the walls. 1t appeals
to citizens not TO encourage the dis
orderly elements by forming in groups
upon the streets.
a thousand civic guards were mob.l-
lied at l o'clock this afternoon and
CHARTERED in the Bourse and other pub
lie buildings. There was no show of
military or police upon the streets,
however until late this evening, when
body of police and gendarmes as
sembled in the vicinity of the Maison
du Peuple and prevented gatherings.
An extensive ambulance service has
been organized to be in readiness for
emergencies.
There was considerable effervescence
around the Maison after O'Clock this
evening, and the gendarmes, who in
sisted that all windows in private
houses be kept shut. were constantly
occupied in dispensing groups. Several
persons were arrested for resisting the
police. AS M. Van der Velde left the
Maison he was followed by a crowd of
Socialists, but he exhorted them to re-
main calm.
The Social deputies have decided to
close the Maison du Peuple in the flu
ture at o'clock in the evening to con-
vert the evening demonstration into a
day demonstration, and to issue
manifesto urging the people to avoid
violence. At a meeting of delegates
from the trades unions, the order for
a general strike was confirmed.
The newspapers published to-day de-
scribed CHASTITY struggle which oc-
CURED Saturday night between some
of the workmen who desired to carry
a wounded and dying man to the
Maison du Peuple and the police,
who were trying to convey
him to Red Cross ambulance.
The wounded man had nearly
all his clothes torn off him before the
police prevailed in their efforts, and he
died Immediately
The Petit Bleu thinks it not unlikely
that martial law will be proclaimed
Tuesday if the riots continue, and
that the third-class of the militia will
be called out. The meetings of Social
lists and workmen at Client and Liege
to-day were orderly. Dynamite was
exploded at the Catholic Club at Char
leroi Saturday night, and much dam
age was done. There was much re-
volver firing at Charleroi during Sat
urday night, but to-day the town was
quiet and there was an orderly dem
onstration of 100000 persons.

Brussels. April 13.-From the gay as
pect of the city to-day nobody would
suspect the bloody scenes which were
enacted yesterday. The inhabitants
of Brussels took advantage of the
beautiful weather to promenade along
the spacious boulevards and terraces
The cafes were crowded with holiday
makers and a considerable crowd WIS.,
tied the quarter where the riots oc-
CURED. But, except for a furled red
flag. tied with Grape over the Maison
du Peuple. nothing was visible to re-
call the events of yesterday evening
In the same square where the caval-
~ charged yesterday to-day a dozen
workmen in their shirt sleeves were
playing a Flemish game of ball.
No revisionist demonstrations have
occurred and in order to avoid coils
ions between the strikers and the po-
lice, the Socialist committee has coun-
fernandez the orders for the monster
parade which it was intended TO hold
tomorrow in the industrial suburb of
Molendeek st. Jean.
The authorities are anticipating to-
morrow with anxiety as the Socialist
Committee has definitely decided to
proclaim a general strike in Brussels

MERCHANTS BEG FOR MILITARY.
Fear for Lives and Property if
Troops Are Withdrawn From La

Troops Are Withdrawn From La
Eoncy.
Manila, April 13.-The merchants OF
Lagoncy, in South Sallarines province
Luzon, have sent a cable message to
Gen. Chaffee praying that the Ameri-
can troops be not withdrawn from La
eoncy. The merchants are unanimous
ly of the opinion that if they are de-
prlved of the protection of the military
they will become victims of the law
less element at the cost of their lives
and property. They say that if the
American troops leave the town the
enemy could reduce the food supply OF
the inhabitants and retard the advance
of the soldiers coming to their rescue
and that such action would lead to fr-
reparable damage. The merchants
further declare the local police to be
insufficient to guarantee order. This
is proved, they say by the fact that
the attachments of American troops
have been withdrawn from the neigh
boring towns of Goa, Tigaon and San
gay and that the local police have
been unable to suppress the assaults,
robberies, assassinations and forced
contributions by gangs of the recalci-
trant element in the neighborhood.
