fact and many contests are fierce ones.

"a story of the Kennebecn by Miss
Harriet A. Nash, illustrated by Harry
G. Edwards and published by Little,
Brown and Company, Boston, is a new
book just from the press, for sale at the
book store of f. w. Buchanan 1t is a
breezy story of country and village life
of primitive times in Kennebec river
towns, charmingly told, and Bloomfield,
Milburn, Norridgewock, Canaan, etc,
with certain familiar family names, give
1t local significance that should inter
est Skowhegan people. More than this,
the talented author is a popular lady of
our town whose unique, bright stories in
the New England and other magazines,
have for some years, been attractive
features of those publications, espec-
ally to those Somerset readers who are
fortunate enough to have an acquaint-
ance with her. This, her first book,
however, needs no incidentals of locality
or acquaintance with the author to COM
mend it to readers. The tale is lively
and engrossing, and one has but to glance
over the book to become fascinated with
it and desire to read it. We bespeak for
Miss Nash large measure of deserved
success in submitting this work to the
reading public.

CRUEL TO WOMEN.
Gen. DeIarey Makes Charges Of Brutality
Against British Soldiers.

Amsterdam, April S.-Kruger has re-
ceived from Gen. Delarey narrowing
stories of cruelties perpetrated by the
British. The stories are supported by
affidavits.
Delarey says that in bne instance Boer
women were placed as human screen
around the British as protection against
his attacks. He declares that a number
of Boer women had already been killed.
Delarey's own wife, according to his
reports, had been prosecuted by Methu-
ems orders for the past twelve months,
and is now wandering about the veldt
with her SIX children. Delarey's moth
er, aged SO, he claims was driven from
Kierksdorp after being robbed of all her
cattle and having her house burned.
The Boer general then enumerates
specific cases of defenseless women who
were shot, and also tells of the cold
blooded murder of unarmed prisoners.
He says that time and again after Beers
have laid down their arms and an
nounced their surrender, the firing has
not been ordered stopped, until one and
sometimes two volleys have been poured
in on defenseless men.

CANAL IN DANGER
GIVEN A BACK PLACE ON THE
SENATE CALENDAR.
Ohi,iopin., Cuban Reciprocity, Revenue and
Appropriation Bills Are on Top Of It.
and It May Not Again Reach Daylight
However, Committee Says Vote Will Be
Reached Before Adjournment.

Washington, April while the pos.
tive assertion is made by the members
Of the steering committee that the action
Of that committee in giving the Philip
nine tariff bill right of way ahead of the
franal bill is not against the interest of
The canal, there are some who believe
that it has been a serious blow to the
canal. Some members of the steering
committee have quietly charged other
members with having placed the Philip
nine bill ahead of the Nicaragua canal
Fiji with the deliberate purpose OF de-
fnating the canal measure. This is de-
MED. and it is asserted that the canal
Hill shall have consideration and vote
before adjournment.
But with an understanding that the
Cuban reciprocity measure is to be con-
sidered as revenue bill, and that it and
appropriation bills are to have the
right of way, there will be a long
nostponement of the canal bill. A very
prominent member of the steering COM
mittee said that in his judgment the
course means serious antagonism to the
canal. Those senators who are in favor
of the canal assert that they will do all
in their power to prevent adjournment
before the canal bill is voted on.

ATLANTIC CITY FIRE.
Twelve Hotels and Score Of Small BuiIdins,
Destroyed.

Atlantic City. N. j., April 4.-Twelve
hotels and more than score of small
buildings. adjoining the board walk,
which is built along the ocean edge
were destroyed by fire which swept the
beach front for two long blocks, from
Illinois avenue to New York avenue
The loss, it is believed, will exceed $3.50
OOO. In this respect the conflagration il
the most disastrous that has ever visited
this city. The loss will be only partly
covered by insurance, as the rate of 5
per cent. charged by insurance com.
panies on property here is regarded as
almost prohibitive.
Fortunately no lives were sacrificed
though probably a dozen persons were
slightly injured and burned during the
progress OF the fire. 1t was reported
early in the afternoon that six men had
persisted in the flames, but the rumor
was without foundation.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it issaid to have started in either Brady's
baths or the Tarleton hotel, which ad-
joins the baths at Illinois avenue and
the board walk.
The city is guarded by company of
militia, who were requested by the mu-
nicipal authorities to aid the police in
the prevention of looting. About a
dozen men were arrested during the day
for robbery.
