EMPRESS IN MARBLE.
Memorial Sarcophagus to Be Pfac
in the Church at Potsdam.

Memorial Sarcophagus to Be Placed
in the Church at Potsdam.
The memorable sarcophagus of the
late Empress Frederick of Germany,
which has been modelled in clay by the
celebrated artist, Reinhold Begas. is
now being reproduced in pure white
Carrara marble by Sculptor Albert &c
ritz, and will in few weeks be placed
in position within the Friedens kirche
at Potsdam.
The figure of the empress rests at
full length upon the sarcophagus, her
head supported by two pillows. The
form is enveloped by Greek drapery.
the upper part of which only is drawn
aside from the head, the face and the
bust
The expression of the features, with
their half-open lips. yiyldly recalls the
countenance Of the empress to those
who knew her. From the head, upon
which a diadem shines, the hair is
drawn down over the bust. The right
arm is extended in repose; the left
hand rests over the region Of the heart
The front of the sarcophagus carries
in bas-relief several emblematicaI and
pictorial designs. In the center is 4
medallion containing a Christ head
crowned with thorns. The panels on
each side and at the ends represent the
chief events in the life of the late en-
press. On one she is represented rs 4
child receiving her first lessons; in an
other she is depicted as an art student
drawing one of the ancient temples,
with the genius OF art as her teacher;
still others show her engaged in works
of charity and benevolence.
There are also designs which sym
bolize the meeting of wife and husband
beyond the grave. where they are join
ed by the son who preceded them into
the other world. A setting sun sug-
gests the passage from this life; a rain
bow tells of Immortality.
The other features of the sarcopha-
gus. says the Boston Herald, resenl-
BILE those of the memorial modelled by
the same artist for the late Emperor
Frederick. The only inscription is one
which contains the names and the
dates. "1S40-1901."

HOW PEACE CAME ABOUT.
Details of the Movements Lending Up
to the Agreement.

to the Agreement.
A parliamentary paper gives the CORE
spondence preceding the Boer-Brltish
peace agreement. From this il appears
that Gen. Sehalk Berger (acting presi-
dent of the TransvaaD informed Lord
Kitchener March II that he was prepar-
ed to make peace proposals. A month
later the Beers delegates submitted
propositions.
On April Is the war secretary, Mr..
Brodrick, refused to entertain any prop
osition based on the independence of the
republics. Subsequently President Steyn
of the Orange Free State and Gems.
Schalk Berger and Botha declared that
the surrender of independence must be
submitted to the burghers in the field.
The British government expressed sur
prise at this attitude, but announced its
willingness to accept = Beers surren-
der on the same tern chat Lord Kitch-
ener had previously offered Gen. Botha,
and to give facilities for a consultation
of the Boer commands
On May II Gen. Schalk- Berger and
Mr.. Steyn informed Lord Kitchener that
the burghers assembled at Vereeniging
had empowered a commission 20 nego-
tate peace terms, subject to ratification
at Nereeniging. Lord Milner, Lord
Kitchener, and the Boer commission met
May 10.
The latter offered to sarret dec the In
dependence of the repuoliesi as regards
foreign relations; to surr-Islsr part of
their territory, and fetaiE self-goycrn-
ment under British supervision. These
proposals were forthwith rejected.
The same day Lord Miner, Gen. SHUTS
and Judge Hertzog drew up form of
agreement, to be submitted to the CON
ference at Vereeniging. for yea or nay
vote. This was very similar to the final
agreement, and with few alterations, was
approved by Mr.. Chamberlain, who, in
giving notice of his approval, told Lord
Miner he must inform the Beers that

cHIcAeo's BIG STRIKE.
Transfers Tie-Up Threatens Boil
Meat and Ice Famine.

Meat and Ice Famine.
The teamsters' strike spread its results
throughout all sections of Chicago Mon
day. Disorder and bloodshed followed
efforts of the packers to move their meat
wagons. A series of riots occurred on
the West and North sides. Serious trou-
bic was experienced on the South Side.
Two score or more of trouble makers
were arrested. A number of policemen
were seriously injured.
One peculiar feature of the general sit
uation is the fact that the strikers kept
in the background The disorder and
bloodshed followed the movements of
their sympathizers or alleged friends.
Meat wagons under the ban of the
Transfers Association were bloekaded
in systematic manner by street cars
as well as by brother union teamsters
not on strike.
Chicago has been experiencing both q
meat and an ice famine. The ramifica-
tons of the striking packers are extern
sive, all labor bodies lending their full
quota of moral and financial assistance.
At the stock yards, Saturday and Mon
day, there was an utter absence Of bust
ness, while not a pound of meat was be-
ing delivered by the packers, who gave
the ultimatum of no recognition of union
ism. The small number of independent
butchers and packers at the yards were
unable to furnish a sixteenth of the local
demand for meats. The downtown hotels
and large restaurants were not only short
of meat, but also of ice, while the coal
teamsters threatened, if patronage of the
meat packers was continued, to cut off
the supply of fuel. Ice dealers were no
titled that any attempt on their part to
supply the hotels would result in q strike
against them.
The coal and ice supply of the Fulton
market, the large downtown distributor,
was cut off and the market was forced

GREAT LOSSES in LIFE.

More than 100000 Persons Dead on
Both Sides in Conflict.
Three hundred thousand men, women
and children comprised the population Of
the South African republic and the Or
ange Free State when the war began.
Although it is impossible to get the eX-
act figures, it is estimated that the sur
vivors of the conflict number only about
1874, 900 persons, the death list. therefore,
numbering 10000 OF the survivors 137.-
600 are women and children, who are
congregated in the British coscentration
camps: 10000 men are prisoners Of war
in the hands of the British, while 1000
soldiers will quit the field as : result of
the signing of the terms OF surrender.
Boer leaders who were in a position
to know have never given out the actual
or even an approximate number of their
compatriots in arms British officers,
however, have sought information from
prisoners and from natives of South At
RIGA who had penetrated the Boer lines
ard their estimate of the total number
OF Boer soldiers is $1,000. This, how
ever, may be in excess of the actual
number of able-bodied men in the ranks.

Novel Use for Bullets.

Bullets seem rather a grim kind of
ornament. but of late years the fad Of
setting bullets in jewelry has been
much followed. The King of Greece
wears bullet set as charm on his
watch chain. This bullet was lodged
in tba panel of his carriage when he
was fired at. Mr.. Maurice Clifford,
who will be remembered as leading
the Rhodesian Horse in the Diamond
Jubilee procession. gave his wife as a
wedding present a bracelet containing
the bullet which cost him his arm.
There certainly seems to be something
a bit barbaric in such charms-sugges-
tive of scalps and other trophies.

without their principal market. Seven
ty-five cars loaded with ice were in rail
road yards waiting to be unloaded. The
packers refused to employ union labor "a

Advertisements in many papers out OF
Chicago offer s. day to men to take the
strikers places. The wage demanded by
the strikers is from $3.50 to $3.50. Ship
