Bryce and Others Finding Some Holes In
It-Boer Hero Worship.
Chamberlain's speech evoked crit.
cism of the financial features of the
policy outlined for South Africa from
Sir William Verno,HHarcOurt, James
Bryce and others. Bryce said he hoped
the National Scouts would not be used
as police, but Chamberlain said he
could not see why they should not be
so employed, as he believed they would
make admirable civil guards Cham
berlain also said he hoped the royal
judicial commission going out to South
Africa would exercise the kings clem-
ency in view Of the large number Of
sentences imposed during the war.
A dispatch from the Cape dated Sat-
urday gives a graphic description Of
the enthusiasm of the Cape Dutch for
the leaders Of the Boer forces. 1t says:
The hero worship of the Boer COM
manders was strikingly illustrated at
the marriage of General Delarey's
daughter to his secretary. Ferreira, at
the Dutch Reformed church. The ap-
proaches to the edifice were packed,
and the congregation cheered Generals
Botha, De Wet and Delarey as they
entered the church. De Wet was car
ried from the church on the shoulders
of his more enthusiastic admirers.
When the bridal party appeared the
congregation arose and cheered until
the minister threatened to stop the GER
emony or clear the church"

Marion, Ind, July 30.-Clarence
Burris, whose reputation for truth and
veracity has never been questioned,
relates a remarkable snake story,
which has advanced reptile stock in
this Eeighborhood about 20 per cent.
BurIis was engaged in building a
fence on the farm of Gideon Leas, in
the Indian reservation, when he heard
the wall Of a young rabbit near where
he was working. The cry continued,
and when he made an investigation
he discovered the largest snake he had
ever seen outside of a circus. The
snake was trying to swallow the rab-
bit, which was making a great effort
to release itself from the coils Of the
snake.
Burris sent boy to the house for
shotgun, and remained at a safe
distance until his return. He then
opened fire on the snake and succeed

tail This only enraged the snake and

Burris. He jumped over a fence and

Burris is convinced that the snake
must have been twelve or fourteen
feet in length

CONDITION OF THE KING
Edward VII of England Will BE Able on
His Coronation Day.

His Coronation Day.
London, July 30.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing Aug. 9 as the date
upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumOrs which
have pervaded all classes for the last
few days now appear to have been
pure guess work.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet, and with the aid of d
stick has done a little walking. A late
telegram from Cowes says that near
ly all the restrictions upon the kings
diet have been withdrawn

CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS
Gives a Statement of the Situa.
tion in His Department OF
Government.
COLONIAL CONFERENCE ALL RIGHT
Doing what 1t Is There fort Says
the Secretary-Status of the
Boer Country.

London. July 30.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain appeared in the
house of commons yesterday after
noon for the first time since his recent
accident. He was greeted with hearty
cheering and later he was warmly
congratulated by Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, Liberal leader Of the
house. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma
supplemented his congratulations by
asking for information of the colonial
conference. He expressed the hope
that lenient treatment would be ex-
tended TO the Beers in South Africa.
Chamberlain replied that the one spirit
animating the members of the confer
ence was the desire to draw closer to-
gether the constituent parts Of the
empire. and he thought it safe TO say
that the conference had made import
ant progress toward perfect union,
to which he himself looked forward.
Status of south Africa
Regarding the future status of
South Africa, the colonial secretary
said the imperial government had es-
tablished crown colony in the strict
est sense The next step would be to
add nominated official element
Thereafter there would be an elected
official element, and then nothing but
circumstances and time would sepa-
rate the new colonies from full self
government-the ultimate goal of their
ambition That contamination would
not be delayed; if for no other reason,
because it might relieve the govern
ment of the tremendous burden of re-
spOnsibility involved in the present sit
uation.
Does Not Propose To he Rushed.
But all must understand that the
government would not be rushed nor
hustled into any action which circum-
stances did not warrant The speaker
said he was one of those optimistic
enough TO believe that the new colo
nies would reach the ultimate goal of
their ambition much sooner than many
persons now thought possible. So far
as the government was concerned the
surrender promises would be kept in
spirit as we'll as in letter. The gov
ernment, he said. was bound both by
honor and interest to Ills course.
Many Questions To Ie settled.
There remained many questions to
be dealt with. A new tariff must be
arranged, involving intricate ques-
tons concerning which experts must
be consulted. and the taxation of
mines must be settled; but he wished
to say nothing would be done to pun
ish owners of mines, as had been Sug-
gested in many quarters.
Mines to Help Pay the War Debt.
The government would do nothing
to interfere with a quick revival OF
development of the country. Subject
| to that consideration, Chamberlain
| continued, no nan was more anxious
| than he to recover some considerable
| part of the cost of the war from South
Africa. He thought it would be per
fectly fair to lay fair part of the
cost of the war on the principal in
dustry of the Transvaal, but what
amount it was too soon to say.
