Interest In the investigation has waned
since the peace negotiations in South Af-
rica began. The extinction OF the Boer
Republics and their incorporation in the
British Empire upon terms acceptable to
the Beers will take the question of AM

Chalmette shipments out OF the field OF
controversy, save as an issue of interna-
tional law i'm the settlement of which
there will be no surviving party directly
interested. Nevertheless, the facts re-

BARRED FROM UIFES BODY.
YOUNG BURKE CREATES SCENE AT
FUNERAL IN BROOKLYN CHURCH.

The last scenes of the tragic romance OF
Mary MILFORD Burke. the seventeen-year-ol
daughter of the late Professor Thomas L. Will
ford. of Brooklyn. were heightened yesterday,
when John Burke. her young husband. with
whom she had lived only short time after their
marriage. made determined but unsuccessful
attempt to see her body as il was being carried
into the Church of SITS. Peter and Paul. Wythe-
ave. near South SecOnd-st. The angry words
between him and those who would deny him
the privilege he sought created such a dis
turbance that the persons in the back of the
church stood up.
Mary Cecilia MILFORD lived with her uncle
Frank MILFORD at No 81 Morton-st.. Brooklyn
after the death of her father. Five months ago
she eIoped with John Burke, who is eighteen
years old. For some reason, never made pub
lie, the couple did not live together after the
first few weeks. and the young bride returned
to her uncle's home. Soon afterward she was
stricken with quick consumption
Burke hearing that his wife dying. last
week went to Mr.. Wilford's house and asked
On Tuesday the young girl died. and Burke
tried again to get into the MILFORD house to see
her body. Being refused he went to the
Lee-ave- court and begged Magistrate Hggin-
botham to give him the assistance of the law.
but nothing could be done for him.
Mr.. MILFORD, fearing trouble at the house.
had two policemen stationed at his crepe decked
door.
Burke went to the church at 10 O'Clock, where
he waited for the arrival Of the body. As it was
being carried in through the vestibule he and
his mother started to press their way toward
1t. He was crowded away, and as a person
with white hair gave him vigorous push, he
cried, Don't you do that again.
You stand back out of the way yOUrselfr'
retOTted Burke angrily.
The young mans mother was bordering on
| Mysteries. and the unusual and unpleasant
| scene caused great excitement When Father
Bedford and the acOlytes appeared before the
altar the wrangling ceased, and Burke retired
