DUTCH REGRET LOSS OF
 INDEPENDENCE OF BoERS.

The Hague, June 1.-The news of the conclusion of peace negotiations in South Africa was received here with very mixed feelings. While there is general satisfac- ton that the war is ended. unvarying re- gret is expressed at the loss of Boer in- de ependence. The Boer delegates here are in particularly trying position. It has been learned on good authority that the British government, at the last moment, refused to allow the Boers in South Af- rica to communicate with their leaders in
 Europe. Thus the delegates on the conti- nent were entirely shut out of the nego- tiations and were ignorant even of the terms of surrender except as they learned of them through the newspapers.

ENGINEERS WILL ASSIST.
Would Mean Closing of Many Factor
 ies and Business Houses.

New York; June 2.-Members of the Sta tionary Engineers and Firemen's Execu- tive Association are reported to have an- nounced that they intend to assist the striking coal miners by refusing to ham dle soft coal for use in this city. The union has not yet taken formal action.
 Should the threat be carried out it will mean the closing of many factories and business houses.
 Anthracite coal has become so scarce that many of the factories have been compelled to use soft coal.
 The two unions named intend to take this action, because they say their mem- bers are arrested for using soft coal only last week one of them being fined s25 for a violation of the smoke ordinance.

FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
3. J. shelmadine Fined s45 for Max
ing Assault on o. NJ. Cassem
Two Weeks Ago.

An assault and battery case was
tried tefore Justice Mckinley Wedl e;-

and o. e. Cassem was the plaintiff
in the case. The assault occurred on
June 2 on the road past Shelmadine's
house on east First street.
The attorneys in the case were
I. ]. Spangler for MI. Cassem and
y. @. Hardesty for Nh. Shelmadine.
From the. evidence in the case it
appeared that Shelmadine gave a
James mccarthy an order for So to.
collect from Cassem, which he claimed
was due him. When Cassem passed
along that way on his return home
in the afternoon McCarty stopped
Cassem and presented the order,
who, however, denied owing the sum.
Shelmadine was called from the house
and he appeared on the scene, and
Cassem claimed that the defendant
tried to pull him out OF the buggy,
but he resisted his efforts, and that
5Shelmadine climbed in and gave
him a terrible beating, and while
this was going made Cassem promise
to payethe amount due. Shelmadine
admitted to have struck Cassem
possibly ono but did not climb in
the pugggy,for that purpose. He stood
with his foot on the wheel and the
horse cramped the buggy so that he
had to climbsin to extricate himself
from the position, and while there
the fight took place. Shelmadine
had four witnesses on his side, and
Gassem had but one, Mr.. Lang, who
saw but part Of the affair.

Honest Praise.

An honest compliment was that paid
to NJ. de Vendome. who, while com
handing the French army in Italy, dis
patched a young nobleman to announce
to his master the victory which he had
gained at Suxzara. The latter, while
attempting to describe the battle, be.
came several times much confused in
his narrative, when, although the king
preserved his gravity, the Duchess of
Burgundy. who was present, laughed
SO heartily that at last the young gen
tleman said, '.Sire, it is easier for NJ.
de Vendome to wins battle than for
me to describe it."

SENATOR KlTTREDGE'S EFFORT
Made a Strong speech Favoring
CONSTRUCTION of the Canal
via Panama.

Senator Kittredge has attained
considerable notofiety by means of
the speechihe delivered in the senate
a few days ago concerning the con-
struction of the canal, favoring the
Panama route, and in which he
made plain to the listening senators
the game that the Costa Ricans were
endeayoring to work on the United
States. Walter Wellman made the
following comment on the senator's
speech in a letter to the Chicago
Record-Herald:

spoke on the canal question, andShad

was a great compliment TO him. He
was closely followed by thirty or forty
senators, and they followed him close

upset the absurd claims Mr.. Morgan
and his friends had been making.
Yesterday Nj. Kittredge not only
conyinced his hearers that the title
to the Panama route is perfect, but
called attention to another import
ant matter already referred to by
Senator Collum. towit. that Costa

whatever to the United States, and
until it does so there is no conces

Eblunder. and his warning attracted
much attention. st the close of his
speech the modest, studious and
thorough senator from South Dakota
was warmly congratulated by a score
of his colleagues.

Bank Checks In England.

It is hard for Americans to believe

bank checks in England for sums

still harder to believe the statement

chancellor of the exchequer supposed
that it was the rule still. lie was
rot alone in his ignorance. At least
two liberal statesmen of cabinet
rank shared his delusion. Did you
