THE RoER PEACE.


The OF the Boer peace has been received with
great rejoicing all over the world
King Edward will be able to enjoy the cere
mony and pageantry of his coronation with undsturbed
mind: at halfpast 10 on Saturday night the Boer rep
resenatves and Lord Kitchener and Lord Miner the
British high commissioners, signed the document con
tanning the terms of surrender.
For two years and eight months the war has con
tinued AS President Kruger predicted when It began
a prediction which, on account of the greatness of
Great Britain and the smancss of the Boer republics
received with incredibly. the cost has staggered
humanity" The cost has not been in money alone al.
though millions of pounds have figured upon the
budget Of the secretary for Nor has been alone
In the lives of While the British have been saved
the humiliation Of final defeat there is no doubt that
they have lost prestige AS the London Standard says
"Assuredly the Beers have no reason to look back with
humiliation upon the events of the campaign Al
though they defeated they are not disgraced"
Never was there waged in which the crushing
of little people more difficult.
The obstinate patriotism, un1aggng courage and
military skin of the Boer generals and soldiers enabled
them to win many victories and mperishabc glory in
their heroic struggle against great odds.
The problem before the British people is the
problem of reconstruction The word is odous in this
Southern country, But reconstruction, according to
British policy is a very different thing from the op
pressions of tho carpetbagger and the scaawag and
the regime of public plundcr under which the Southern
states suereo IN the period Immediately succeeding

SOMEWHAT IRREGULAR
Extensive Movements To-

RAILWAY LISTS ARE ACTIVE
Statements That Coal Strike VIII Not

the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and In
dustrial Stocks Dull.

NEW YORK Aug. 1.-THE Stock Mar
ket opened fairly active and somewhat
irregular. but with the more extensive
movements in prices toward a higher
level. In the railway list the conspicu-
ously strong features at the opening Of
business were St Paul and Illinois
Central, in which cases advances of over
one point we're scored in the initial
transactions.
Very firm and activs Esatures were
Southern Pacific, Urr0n Pacific. the
Reading shares and Atchison.
This mornings official statements
would appear to settle beyond any
doubt any further question as to the &C
eeptance by the mine operators of any
outside interference looking to a ter

anthracite coal regions. The state
ments to the effect we're about the only

The London market for American
stocks was quoted fractionally above
parity with yesterdays final local
prices. and the arbitrage houses were
moderate buyers here when business
opened Outside OF the railway list Col
orado Fuel and Iron furnished the most
conspicuous movement. the stock ad-
vancing nearly four points on very
heavy dealing. which vas unattended by
any news or gossip Of novelty respect
ing the property or the recent contest
for control. Otherwise the miscella-
neUus and industrial stocks were com
paratively dull. and the local traction
issues also remained neglected.
The market lost a good deal of its ami
nation with the course of the morning
and very sharp reactions were noted ID
all Of the active features Of the early
dealings This was true Of Illinois Cen
trail, Reading and St. Paul. Among the
railway specialties a very sharp advance
was noted in Pacific Coast Compar-
atively little was done among the mis-
ceiIaneous or industrial stocks, apart
from Colorado Fuel and Iron, and Ameri-
can Locomotive. which developed
strengh with the course Of the forenoon.
The money market on call was a shade
firmer, ! per cent being readily obtained
by tenders Foreign houses again traded
quite heavily on both sides Of the local
market.

A STRANGE CATASTROPHE.
Texan Sheep HerdeT Killed by Falling
Meteor.

News reached the city Sunday OF
strange and unusual fatality that &C.
Cured in Edwards county Friday. a
sheep herder named Ramon CRUZ be
ing killed by a fragment of a meteor
that was shattered by coming in con
tact with huge boulder on which he
was seated watching his sheep. He was
alone at the time his death occurred
and details as to the exact time. and
circumstances are not known. but cir
cumstances tell the tale of the tragedy
the like Of which is without precedent so
far as known in this section.
CRUZ was seen with his sheep just
before 10 o'clock Friday morning alive
and IN good health Before o'clock in
the afternoon his dead body was found
lying on a large fat boulder and from
his temple a stream OF blood was trick
ling The wound on his temple was
ragged, and upon examination a piece
OF stone weighing about an ounce was
taken from it. The stone was of dark
slate color and had flint characteristics
Near the body was found a piece OF
stone weighing about Ave pounds Of the
same character as that taken from the
dead sheep herdeT's head Il was Of the
same color except that the outside OF It
was Of a dark yellow OF light brown. the
center being the same color as the frag-
ment found in the sheep herder's head
It was OF the same color except that
the outside Of 1t was of a dark yellow
or light brown, the center being the
same color as the fragment found in
the head sheep herder's head
The theory is that while CRUZ was
seated on the boulder watching his
sheep, the meteor struck and the i'm
pact shattered It, a fragment entering
his temple causing instant death
Besides the large chunk of the sup
posed meteor, seven small fragments
corresponding with Il In color and char
acter were found near by. The frag-
ments found are entirely foreign to the
stone formation in that section, or any
other section OF Texas so far as is
known.-San Antonio Express
