British Losses.

London, Jan. IA published review
of operations in South Africa during
the past year. based upon official re-
ports, gves an interesting comparison of
Boer and British losses The review
says the total reduction Of the Boer
forces in killed wounded, taken prison
ers and surrendered amounts to Is, ,32o
men. Out of this total only 1898 rifles
We're secured.
The captures of Boer ammunition

columns are supposed to have secured
all the Boer artillery, amounting to
tWenty-seven guns exclusive of the two
captured by General DeWet at Zeefon-
tein. The captures of Boer stock have
been enormous, considering the great

of 29,SS2 horses were captured, while of
other stock, such as cattle, oxen and
sheep, 366,S21 head were captured.

men, of which number 1878 were taken
prisoners and have since been released.

n CUBAN MIDeBT,s MARRrAGE
Boston Judge Looks Upon IT With
Suspicion.


Boston, Jan. 1.-THE marriage and
business affairs of Chiquita, the Cuban
midget We're under consideration by
Justice Morton in the supreme court
to-day. The court proceedings began 9
few days ago through the effort Of An
thony Woeckener, the seventeen-year-
old lad who married Chiquita at Buff
falo to obtain possession of her. In the
first hearing there was considerable
talk of affection between the husband
and Chiquita, but to-day Justice Nor
ton said:
IT feel that the marriage between this
little woman and this seventeen-year~
old boy should not have taken place lrl-
der any circumstances. I do not think
the marriage was the offspring of love
and affection. There seems to be some
ulterior motive behind this"
The court found that Chiquita has
been well treated by her manager. In
the hearing Chiquita had complained
that she could not see her husband
when she wanted to and she was will
ing to do what her husband said, either
to break the contract or to make other
would give his decision tomorrow, fav-
ing to consider how far he could give
effect to her wishes with due consider
a tion to her legal rights and the marital
rights of the husband.

Disastrous Cave-ln at the Bottom of n
Mine In Michigan.


Negaunee Mich, Ian. From thir-
teen to seventeen miners are thought to
have lost their lives, as the result of a
cavern at the bottom of the old shaft
at the Negaunee mine to-day. The
names of the dead so far as known are
William Villains, married; John Sui
livan, single: John Pascoe, single John
Pearce, married; Jacob Hunlalla, mar
ried. Hunlalla's body has been recov-
cred.
Domino Tasso, an italian. was rescued
alive. His story is a sfollows: I'VE
We're sitting around the pump at the
bottom of the shaft when, without any
warning, thousands Of tons of ore came
down. / remembered no more until I
heard the sounds of picks and shovels
in the hands of the rescuers and their
shouts. Wien they found me ! was
in a diff seventy-five feet from the
place where I had been sitting"
Hundreds of men are at the mine
eager to help in the work of rescue, but
it is thought the other bodies cannot
be found within twenty y-four hours.
The Negaunee is considered one of
the most unlucky properties in the
Lake Superior district. Much trouble
has resulted in sinking and drifting
for surplus water and ouicksand
1t was at this mine that 81 100000
was recently expended to sink shaft
to the ledge.

MI COMPANIES OFFER.
Interest Centers Almost Entirely I'm
This New Phase of the Question-Sus-
pic!ous Circumstances Regarding the
OfHor-Resolution 10 be Introduced In
the Senate for an Investigation.

Washington, Jan. THE debate on
the Nicaragua canal bill in the house
was opened in a lively way to-day by
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the inter
state and foreign commerce commission
which reported the bill. For two hours
he held the floor reply to a voley of
questions concerning the recent offer of
the Panama Canal company to sell it's
property and franchises to the United
States for $4O,OOOOOO The interest in
the debate centered almost entirely in
this new phase of the subject
Mr.. Hepburn maintained that the al
legged new offer of the Panama COM
pany was part of the plan Of delay. All
his utterances along that line were lib
orally applauded. He pointed out what
he claimed was the suspicious circum-
stance that the Panama company held
out for s1O9, goo 900 until it was decided
before the holiday recess to consider
the Nicaragua bill and then suddenly
dropped the price to $40, 100000.
Mr.. Morris of Minnesota gave notice
that at the proper time he would offer
an amendment to authorize the presl-
dent if he could procure the property
and rights of the Panama company for
$400OO000 if concessions could be pro
cured from Colombia and if the Walker
commission so recommended, to pur-
chase and proceed to complete the
Panama canal The other speakers to-
day were Messrs. Davis of Florida,
Richardson of Alabama, Mann of IL
linois and Adams of Pennsylvania.
In the senate.
The first notes of the contest between
the Nicaragua and Panama routes for
the isthmian canal were heard in the
Senate to-day Mr.. Morgan offered
and secured the addition of a resolution
which indicated his purpose to have
the committee on inter-oceanic canals
inquire into the relations alleged to ex-
ist between the trans continental rail-
road companies of the United States
and Canada and the Panama Canal |
company.

Morgan declared that the alleged rela-
tions were a wicked monopoly" which |
already had cost the people of the Pa

SCHLEY REQUEST GRANTED.
President Roosevelt to Hear tho Ad-
mlrnl's Appeal

Washington, Jan. Rear Admiral
Schleys visit to the White house yes
terday, it was definitely learned to-day
was to request the president to enter
tain and consider an appeal for the re-
versal Of the action of Secretary Long
and the disapproval of the majority
judgment of the naval court of inquiry.
The president granted the admiraps re-
quest. Messrs. Rayner and league
came in from Baltimore to-day to assist
Admiral Schley in the preparation of
the appeal. 1t is understood that the
president wished the matter to be pre-
scented as soon as possible.
The following statement was given
out by Admiral Schley's counsel this
afternoon at the conclusion of their
conference:
admiral Schley has concluded after
mature and careful deliberation, to ap-
peal from the majority decision Of the
court of inquiry to the president of the
United States as commander in chief of
the army and navy. This action hav-
ing been determined upon, nothing
more can be divulged at this time, the
regulations of the navy being such that
the nature of the proposed appeal can
not be revealed except by the president
after the formal documents have been
filed with him."
Mr.. Rayner said that it will take
some time to prepare the appeal, and
that it will not be filed with the presi-
dent until after the return of Admiral
SchIey from his visit to Savannah,
about the Goth instant.
The interview with the president yes
terday was arranged in advance, and
at it's conclusion Admiral Schley left
the White House In a satisfied frame of
mind. He had been given full oppor-
tilnity to present the case from his
standpoint, and to acquaint the presi
dent with many details of which the
latter could not have knowledge. While
Admiral Schley would not make any
statement regarding the matters dis
cussed, holding that an interview be-
taween a naval officer and his com
1nander-in- chief should be regarded as
it is understood that he
brought to the presidents attention
many of the alleged injustices and dis
cre,,arcies of the majority report of the
court of inquiry,
Admiral Schley's interview with the
president was the result of his deter
mination to exhaust every means in his
power to overturn the judgment which
has been rendered against him. His
new appeal will be different from that
submitted to the navy department,
bringing out some new facts which
have an important bearing upon the
The, president during the cabinet
meeting spoke of Admiral Schleys call |
yesterday, and said insubstance that he
would give his best attention to any |
communication which the admiral, |
through his counsel, might see fit to |
make.

CHINESE COURT IN PEKIN
RE- ENTRANCE OF THE EMP EROR
AND EMPRESS DOWAGER.
The Most Remarkable Episode in the
Annals of the Dynasty Save the Flight
From the Capital--SpectacnfnrP Phases
Exceed Expectations-Emp Dow
ager Bows to Foreigners.

Pekin, Jan. THE re-entrance of the
Chinese emperor, empress dowager and
court into Pekin to-day was the most
remarkable episode in the annals of the
dynasty, save the flight of the Chinese
court when PeSin was bombarded by
the allied forces.
The spectacular phases of the return
of the court exceeded expectations The
cortege was a sort of glorified lord
mayors show, and was a bewildering
and barbaric exhibition of oriental tim
selled splendor. Its chief significance
was the complete effacement of the
traditional deification of Chinese royal
ty. Foreigners We're given greater fa-
cilities to witness the ceremonial than
would have been afforded them at most
European courts.
The scene at the chief gate when the
emperor and the dowager empress en-
tered the temple to offer thanks for
their safe journey, was nothing less
than revolutionary when viewed in the
light of all Chinese customs. The
Horse Shoe WALL forming the ancient
gate was crowded with Europeans,
diplomats, missionaries, ladies' photog-
raphers and correspondents.
When the emperor and the dowager
empress arrived at the temple, the pro-
cession halted and their majesties
alighted from their chairs. which were
covered with imperial yellow silk and
lined with sabes. The emperor pro-
ceeded to the Temple of the God of
War on the west side of the plaza,
with hundreds Of foreigners peering
down only forty feet above him, and
dozens of cameras were focused upon
the son of Heaven When he returned,
his chair was borne through the gate.
Then the chair Of the dowager en-
press was brought to the doorway of
the temple and the goddess of mercy on
the east side of the plaza, and the dow
ager empresss appeared. Amid great
scufflng of attendants she proceeded
into the temple on the arms OF. two
officials followed by company of Bud
dhist priests bearing offerings.
The spectators then heard the boom
ing Of the temple bell. After an inter-
val Of five minutes the dowager EN-
press re-appeared. Standing in the
doorway of the temple, she looked up
ward Directly overhead were the Ger
man minister, DR.. Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, the secretaries of the
German legation, the officers and la
dies from the American garrison. The
dowager empress saw the foreigners
and bowed low. She advanced a few
steps and bowed again in acknowledge
ment Of the salutations of the foreign
ars and returned to her chair looking
upward to the semi-circle Of foreign
faces, and bowling repeatedly.

San Francisco Jan. 7.-Nothing has

they went down with the steamer. The
statement of Lookout johnson, made to

the lights on the French bark were Wis
ible. The conflicting statements will be
investigated by the United States ma
rine authorities and the responsibility
for the disaster fixed.

IMPORTANT PROSECUTIONS
TO BE BROUGHT By INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.
All the Great Packing Houses OF the
West Charged with Receiving Prefer

James J. Hill, n. II. Hartman and
Other G reat Railroad Men Su m IN oned
as witnesses.

Chicago, Jan 7.-Prosecutions against
all the big packing house concerns in
the west for violations of the provision
of the Interstate commerce law against
receiving preferential rates are contem-
plated by the inter- state commerce
commission.
This fact developed to-day during an
investigation begun by the commission
into the hauling of packing house prod
ucts and dressed meats. 1t also became
apparent that the commission and the
railway managements of the entire
country practically had entered into an
alliance for the purpose of inducing
congress to pass legislation permitting
the railroads to pool under certain reg
ulations by the inter- state commerce
commission and that it is believed such
law can and will be passed.
The third development of the day was
the announcement that the commission
had required the attendance here to-
day of all the leading men in the ad-
vancement of the community of inter-
ests idea, including j. Pierpont Morgan,
James j. Hill and E, II. Hartman. and

request harsher measures would be
taken to compel their coming.
Evidence upon which to base prosecu
tions against the packers was obtained
in abundance. Traffic managers and
vice presidents Of roads east and west
threw up their hands and admitted
freely that there was no pretense to-
ward maintaining tariff rates on pack
ing house products and dressed meats
for export or domestic use except for a
very short period of time at the begin
ming Of each year
Paul Morton, second vice president of
the Santa Fe. A. G. Bird, third vice
president of the st. Paul; ], M. John
son, third vice president Of the Rock
Island, and other men of the highest
standing in the railroad world, took the
stand and stated boldly that they are
now and had been continual violators
of the law that they are sick and tired
of being such, that present conditions
are intolerable; that they are powerless
to secure a maintenance of rates, and
that millions of dollars are paid to the
packing house interest yearly by rail-
roads at the expense of legitimate rev.
enue.
