BoER PRISONERS AT CEYLoN.
Consul Morey Reports as to Their Re-
lease

United States Consul Morey at Colombo,
Ceylen. where large number of Boer pris-
oners Of war have been held captives, has
furnished the State Department with a
copy of the official announcement made as
to the release Of these prisoners. The point
Of this notice is that the repatriation of the
prisoners is not TO take place at once, but
will depend on the readiness of the colonial
governments to receive them, as the cir
cumstances of the new colonies do not ad-
NIT of the return of unlimited numbers at
one time. Foreign prisoners of war, who
do not claim to be burghers. will not be
allowed to return to South Africa. They
may leave Ceylon at once at their own ey-
pense. Others may be handed over to their
consuls If their governments wish to make
special arrangements for moving them
otherWise they must wait until the British
government finds 1t convenient to repatri-
ate them.

THE question now is not what think

stances surrounding us. The task must be
approached with spirit of give and take
and with determination TO accomplish

Admiral Higginson's Report.

Admiral Higginson will soon submit to the
Navy Department an elaborate written re-
port upon the results of the chase Of the
white squadron by the North Atlantic squad
ron, which ended yesterday. For obvious
reasons such parts Of this report as treat
of any imperfections developed will prob

confined to the brief telegram alrc ady pub
liShed from Commander Pillsbury announc-
ing his surrender and a dispatch from Ad-
miral Higginson telling of the disposition he
had made Of the vessels engaged in the
chase.
Naval officers here say that while the
capture of the white squadron seemed to be
a foregone conclusion owing to the discrep-
ancy between the two squadrons in strength
yet this chase has had instructive and i'm
portant results. 1t is the expectation that
perhaps next year another such chase will
be made in which the problem presented to
the defending squadron will be much more

Mr.. Warfield is a Maryland man and be-

number of years. When seen today he
made this statement: Last year myself
and some other persons organized a con-
Germ for the purpose of selling a system
that had theoretically beaten the races,
with a view of eniistng some capital and
playing the money at the race tracks We
were in communication with several New
York parties, but nothing came of tHe
affair and the project was disbanded IN
July of last year. Nothing further Was
done. No money was ever received from
any individual whatever except from the
iucorporators. Nor was any attempt ever
made to operate the system. l was to be
the treasurer of the company, and one of
these old circulars happened to fall into the
hands of a money lender. He brought it to
the attention of the department and the
charges Were preferred against me on that
ground. The circular was not written by
me and was never sent out to any one. L
supposed all the copies had long ago been
destroyed and do not know where this one
came from.

In position to judge almost as well as the

ance of both sides. This is a variation of
the original program, which it has been
thought well to make in view of the public
interest in the approaching maneuvers, and
the apparent danger of considerable mis-
understanding as to the purposes of the re-
spective commanders OF course, the state
ment will not disclose any of the features
of the projects which would make either
side aware of the purposes of the other

Their next move, 1t is said, would be to
grant per cent increase Of wages to the

the feelings of the workmen. The success
OF this plan, of course, depends upon the
power OF the union to prevent the collierics
starting up. Reports from the strike
region show that the union has not sue

HILL TALKS OF WHEAT YIELD
President OF Great Northern says Crop
VIII BE Larger Than Last
Year.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Aug. 16.-President J.
j. Hill OF the Great Northern railway and
Northern Securities company. who re-
turned last night from a tour OF the entire
northwest this afternoon, said II was not
wise at this time to venture a prediction on
the wheat yield. There has been a marked
change in the acreage over preceding years,
and. in addition. other crops will be larger.
However, there will be a very good av-
erage crop. 1t will be much larger than
the crop Of last year, or Of several years
past"
What quality is the cropf"
Seemingly. very good. l saw some wheat
In Dakota yesterday which will run thirty
FIVE bushels to the acre. 1t was magnif-
cent. But when I came through into this
state l almost felt ashamed of the man
ner In which our farmers had permitted
the weeds to grow. The fields were fairly
overrun. The yield per acre, however, will
be above the average
Mr.. Hill was exceedingly enthusiastic
over some wheat he had seen In Washing
ton. 1t ran sixty bushels TO the acre. He
said that the Washington crop will be Inn
mense.
Mr.. Hill denied all likelihood Of q car
famine when the crop commences to move.
He said:
why, We have enough boxcars to move
the whole Great Northern crop IN i've

SOUTHERN PACIFIC BONDS
Rumor that the Executive Committee
VIII Recommend a -Four Per Cent
Convertible Issue.

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-of1cials Of the
Union Pacific road, which dominates the
Southern Pacific, will neither afirm nor
deny the statement that the executive COM
mittee of the latter corporation has adopted
a resolution recommending a 800, 200, 900 4
per cent convertible BON issue. 1t is not
denied that such action is contemplated,
but the proposition is still a tentative one.
1t Is authoritatively declared that no date
has been set for bringing the matter to
the, attention of the stockholders, and, ac-
corning TO trustworthy report, decisive
action will not be taken in the matter for
some weeks.
The Southern Pacific company is the nnan-
cial corporation Of the Southern Pacific
railroad Of California and its allied lines.
Its authorized capital is 5000, 900. 900, the
greater part Of which has been issued. The
proposed bonds will doubtless carry some
rights, constituting in effect a dividend on
Southern Pacific stock. In the event of
the bond issue a large sum will be ex-
pended in the improvement of the property.
