the social life of South Africa.
General Botha paid a tribute TO former
President Steyn's abilities as a statesman.
Now let us stop bothering ourselves about
politics" said the general. "and try to make
ourselves happy In South Africa, because we
have no home elsewhere"
The hero worship OF the Boer commanders

General DeIarey's daughter to his secre-
tary, Ferreira, at the Dutch Reformed
church. The approaches TO the edihee were
packed and the congregation eheered Gen

PHILADELPHIA. July 2s.-It Is stated
on reliable authority that the supply Of
anthracite coal in the hands OF railroads
and dealers here will, at the present rate
Of consumption. probably be exhausted by
the middle of September.
The report that the railroads are turn

In only one important case. It was stated
that OF the Pennsylvania, has any OF the
roads released the coal seized by them in
May, all OF the others retaining what they
have for their own purposes.
In the case OF the Pennsylvania, that
road had no such need for what little il
had retained, as 1t could use its soft coal.
This was the reason It turned a quantity OF
anthracite over to some of it's trade the
last week.

ALL EYES ARE TURNED ON IOWA
Republicans at Washington Anxious
About Declaration on the
TariR.
(From a star Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, July 29.--(speclal Tele-
gram.)-Republicans In the capital are
casting anxious eyes Iowaward with view
of ascertaining Just what the republicans
Of that state will have to say on tariff re-
vision. The fact is that the east Is watch
ing the Hawkeye state closely, in view Of
the declaration made at the Cedar Rapids
convention last year wherein "any modi-
fication Of the tariff schedules that may
be required to prevent their affording
shelter to monopoly was distinctly ia
vored. 1t also declared that tariff revision
should be undertaken "at such time as 1t
may be effected without injury to any
American industry"
Leading Iowa republicans in Washington
are opposed to tho views as enunciated in
the Cedar Rapids platform Of last year and
which were the work Of George e. Rob-
erts, director of the mint and now editor
of the Des Moines Register and Leader.
They say that Roberts went too far and
they are now hoping that the platform will
say nothing about the tariff, although 1t is
recognized that Governor Cummins, who
is a tariff reformer, controls no inslgnih-
cant faction of the party, consequently a
strenuous fight is looked for.

COPENHAGEN. July pa leading mem
ber OF the right, speaking to reporter
Of the Associated Press, as to the probable
result of the Landsthing elections and their
bearing on the sale and cession Of the

right had caused the decentralization OF

the Landsthing. he regretfully believed
the lefts or ministerialists would gain
suflcient seats to secure ratification of the
treaty at the October session. A careful
canvass had led to this conclusion. and 1t
was feared that the right also would lose

BERLIN, July 2e.-The marriage Of
Privy Councillor Loehnig to the daughter
OF former sergeant in the German army
mas caused Herr Boehnig's retirement from
the chief directorship OF taxes for the
province OF Posen
Herr Loehnig. who was also finance
councillor and who was man OF wealth,
has been circulating a pamphlet among his
friends explaining his acceptance Of a pen
sion July 1, at the instance of Herr Won
Rheiraban, the Prussian minister of
finance. The publication OF this pamphlet
In todays papers has caused considerable
comment, both socially and politically, be-
cause Herr Loehnig. as a high official, has
had knowledge of the Prussian administra-
tion Of Posen and disapproved Of several
features Of the ministry's Polish policy.
In this policy Herr Loehnig relates that
after an interchange Of communications
between Berlin and the highest admins
trative officials of the province Of Posen
the Ober president of Posen told him he
had nothing to say against his fiance, but
that 1t was impossible for him to consent
to the marriage Of one Of the highest off,
cials of the province with a daughter Of
an ex-sergeant. that 1t was as though the
colonel Of regiment proposed to do such
thing A ministerial councillor or a SUI
perlor government councilOr might pos
sibly marry a sergeant's daughter. but a
privy and finance councillor could not.
The ober president said also that the
commanding general and the police presk
dent shared his views on the matter.
Father of the Bride.
The father Of Herr Loehing's wife is now
a secretary in one Of the governments Of
fees at Posen. Some weeks after his mar
riage the finance ministry at Berlin asked
Herr Loehnig to retire, which he did. Herr
Loehnig afirms that his opinions In the
matter OF the ministry's Polish policy had
nothing TO do with his retirement from
office, but notwithstanding this It is be-
lieved the opinions did have something to
do with the councillors retirement.
Herr Loehnig affirms that most of the
Prussian province OF Posen condemns the
governments policy toward the Poles, pros
ecutiona of Polish newspapers and the SUR
veillance Of Polish societies. Herr Loeb
mig, although favoring measures to Ger
manize Poland, is OF the opinion that this
should be carried out less ostentatiously.
The pamphlet Is the subject Of notice
able editorial articles in the liberal news
papers today, which predict attacks on
the government in the Diet The Vossiche
Zeitung says 1t is impossible to write about
the matter coolly and that 1t reads likes
the times preceding the battle of Jena
when Prussian aristocracy reached the acme
of class insolence.

pletely destroyed, a number Of others
slightly damaged and a property loss esti-
mated at 100000 is the result Of ire on

face and hands.
Lieutenant D. Leech. hands burned and
hair singed.
C. Buckley. burned and cut about the

Joseph Grim, foot cut by ak.
About 1880 o'clock this morning flames
were discovered issuing from the building
at 919 Liberty street, occupied by the De-
Noon Bros Paint and Varnlsn company.
Owing to the combustible nature OF the
stock the fire spread rapidly and soon the
adjoining building, occupied by Stewart
Bros. dealers In rubber goods. was also in
flames.
AS the fire spread there were frequent ex-
plosions and about 2 o'clock, when the
flames appeared to be succumbing to the ef-
forts Of the 1remen, there was an explosion
that shook the building and shot the flames
far out over Liberty street. Five hremen
were caught and badly burned about the
hands and soorched about the face. They
were at once taken to the Homeopathic
hospital and later removed to their homes.
Their injuries are not regarded as serious.
Meanwhile the smoke and .Odor from the
burning rubber, mixed with paints, oil and
benzine, nearly stified the firemen and made
1t almost impossible for them to get at the
blaze, but they worked heroically and about
o'clock this morning had the flames under
control. Both buildings we're gutted and s..

east, was badly damaged Speer & Hollar's

Unless sOmstbing Unforeseen Happens It
VIII OCCUR on August 9,
SINISTER RUMoRS NOW co UNHEEDED
Cabinet Members Lose Their Nervousness
and Feel Event Will Take Place.
PHYSICIANS APPARENTLY NOT MISTAKEN
Arrangements for the Great Event
Proceed Quietly and Those In
Position to Know Say King
Will he There.

LONDON, July 2s.--The latest and most
reliable information indicates that King
Edwards doctors were not mistaken in
fixing August as the date upon which
his majesty could be crowned.
The sinister rumors which have per-
vaded all classes for the last few days
now appear to have lost that semblance
Of probability which made even the mem
bers Of the cabinet nervous lest another
postponement Of the coronation might be
necessitated.
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 stick has done a
little walking, Another late telegram from
jCowes, saying that nearly all the restric-
tions upon the kings diet have been with
drawn, has been welcomed as evidence that
the late ominous conclusions were drawn
without considering the doctors conclusions.
King Edward sat smoking on the deck
Of the royal yacht and watched the races
Of the small yachts off Cowes.
Those who drew inferences from the
fact that the invitations to Westminster
abbey were not dated have had their fears
dissipated by the proclamation published
IN the Gazette tonight fixing August as
the date for the coronation, which is al
together of more importance than what
might have or might not have appeared
on the cards Of invitation.
The king and Queen Alexandra will leave
Buckingham palace on August IS for the
royal yacht, where the feet will pass In
view.
On his return to the royal yacht the
king is expected to take an extended
cruise to the northward and 10 spend
several weeks at Balmoral, where prepara-
tions for the arrival OF their majesties
have already been commenced.
Sir Joseph G. Dimsdals. the lord mayor
OF London, expects the king to visit the
city Of London the week ending October
II, when a great luncheon will be held
in the Guild hall. which is to be followed
by a royal procession through the south
Of London.
All these plans may not be carried out
70 the letter, but their arrangement, COM
bined with the emphatic optimism OF the
kings physicians, Is generally taken az In
surinR. so far as human foresight can be
relied upon, the kings coronation for Au-
gust Q. 1t IS perhaps significant that Queen
Alexandra, the prince of Wales and other
members of the royal family were all
ashore today playing lawn tennis and
hockey.
