TRAPPED BY BOERs
Many British Officers and Sol
diers Killed in Ambush.

PRETORIA, Feb. 17-One hun
dred and fifty mounted Infantry
men, while patrolling the Kip
river, south of johannesburg,
Feb. IL, surrounded a farm house
where they suspected Beers
were in hiding. A single Boer
broke away from the house, and
the British started to pursue him.
The Boer climbed a kopje, the
British following. Immediately
a heavy fire was opened upon
them from three sides. The
British found themselves in a
trap and in position where they
were unable to make any defense.
Eight of the British officers
made gallant effort and defend
ed the ridge with carbines and
revolvers until they we're over
powered.
The British had two officers
and ten men killed and several
officers and forty men wounded
before the force was able to fall
back under cover of a block
house. The bulk of the casual
ties occurred during the retreat
of the British. The killed ip-
cluded Maj. Dowell, the com.
mander of the force.
Lord Kitchener, in addition to
reporting the Kip river affair,
says:

SAYS BROKERS ARE ROBBERS
Chicago Pastor Denounces Bark Embez.
: zlers and Scores Spectators.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17-In a SER
mon Sunday afternoon at vesper
services, DR.. VIM. II. Walker, of
the First Congregational church
OF Wilmette, declared that ''board
of trade operators are robbers,
stock brokers are gamblers, and
large embezzlers are worse than
footpads." The spectators in
real estate he characterized as
enemies to public interests. The
statements the pastor of one of
the largest churches of the sub
urb, in which a number of board
of trade men and stock brokers
live, and where there are large
tracts of unimproved real estate,
caused much comment among
the members of his flock. The
inspiration of his sermon was
the recent Andrews bank scandal
at Detroit.
''Mr. Andrews says, Il do not
see how a man can possibly make
a fortune unless he speculates.
Human life is too short for the
slow process of thrift If this is
the summary of our presentday
life," said the minister, quoting
Andrews, I'VE are in a sad plight.
1 dispute the proposition! Some
fortunes are made by thrift only.
There are men who are worth a
fortune to society and they sue.

But many fortunes have been
made in whole or in part by spec
ulation, If the speculator does

own brain and Drawn. where does
he get it? Evidently out of the
brain and Drawn of other people.
But there are graduations of
guilt in the matter.
''On the lowest level of deprav-
ity are Mr.. Andrews and his like
who have not only endeavored to
lay hold of what they have not
earned, but have used other peo-

Irish to Help the Boer,.

LONDON. Feb. 19-The Paris
correspondent cf the Chronicle
believes there is some truth in
the rumor than an Irish revolu-
tionary committee has been
started in Paris by an Irish
American who has just returned
from South Africa, for the pur-
pose of aiding the Boer cause by
a reign of dynamite and terror.

New YORK, Feb. 1S-Charles
Nj. Schwab, president of the
United States Steel corporation,
returned from Europe Sunday on
the ST. Paul, after an absence of
two months. While abroad he
met some of the crowned heads
of Europe and the leaders of Il
nance and industry in the coun-
tries he visited.
In an interview Mr.. Schwab
said be had returned home imbued
with the tremendous possibilities
of the big steel trust as a factor
in the worlds trade. From ideas
obtained from Europe's leaders
in the commercial and financial
spheres he has worked out far
reaching plans for the develop
ment of the United States Steel
corporation beyond lines previ-
ously mapped out by the promo
ters.
HAS Europe reached the con-
clusion that the United States
Steel corporation has come to
stay?" Mr.. Schwab was asked.
Undoubtedly" he replied.
There were a few uniformed
people abroad who thought it
was an adventure, as matter of
fact, but there is no longer any
doubt i'm their minds regarding
its status"
LONDON, Feb. 1S-Comment-
ing On the extraordinary activity
in the American iron and steel
trade as evidenced by the Stats
tics of 1901, the IrOnmOnger
credits the steel trust with large
share in bringing such prOsperi-
ty.
The United States Steel cor
poration," says the Ironmonger,
appears to stand apart from or
binary trusts not only on account
Of enormous capital but also be-
cause of conservative manage
ment. A concern of this magni-
tude resolutely setting its face
against imitation of the selling
prices of its product is sufficient
ly powerful to enforce its policy.
Seeking, as Mr.. Schwab and
his associates thus far have done,
to maintain a steady range of val
ues and to free the market from
those eccentricities of fluctuation
and manipulation which delight
the professional speculator but
dismay the consumer, they have
gone some way to put into effect
these conditions which make for
permanent stability of trade
The trust, in fact, has evolved a
new policy, by means of which a
commercial revolution may be
effected.

Frank Pedro, an aged Portuguese,

Gown with fearful force, sustaining
terrible bruises about the head
Some of the witnesses of the accident
think thot Pedro tried 70 stnp the rum
away. He was seen to suddenly step
cut from behind the other wagon and
throw up his arm, as if to ward off
the approaching runaway, or try to
seize the bride. Then he was knocked
down, and the horse and the wagon,
small brake, passed on towards the
waterfront, where the horse was soon
caught.
Pedro was made unconscious by the
shock. His head and face were terri
bly, bruised, but he regained conscious
ness before the arrival of the police
wagon which took him to the hospital
He had also received severe body
bruises however, and his condition
was very serious
The injured man was nearly 20 years
of age. He has a wife and six sons
and daughters, none of them living
with him, however. The daughters
and the youngest son is employed on
the steamship Sonoma.
