eoeR LEADERS IN LONDON.
Meet Cordial Reception and Are
Greeted as Heroes.

London. Aug. l1.-Gcnerals Botha.
DE Wet and DE In Rey arrived in
Southampton yesterday morning and
met with a great reception. both from
government officials and the public.
The Bocr generals looked remarkably
well and evidently were much pleased
at the hcartiness of the welcome ac-
corded them. Soon after landing they
boarded the steamship Nigeria, where
Joseph Chamberlain. colonial secre-
iary: Earl Roberts and General Lord
KAchener greeted them. They We're
also introduced 10 Mrs. Chamberlain
and Lady Roberts, with whom they
chatted for some time.
Official arrangements had been made
to permit the generals to witness the
naval review, but after conference
with Abraham Fischer. the former
Boer delegate. who came from The
Hague. II was announced that they in
tended to proceed direct 10 London in
order to reach Holland as speedily as
possible. The generals go TO Holland
to pay their last respects to the men,
ory OF General Lucas Meyer, who died
of heart disease August Sth.
The Boer generals reached London
in the course OF the afternoon and
Asked why they declined the govern
ment's invitation 10 witness the naval
review. the visitors remarked that they
were TOO tired after the long war aud
needed ii rest"
The scene at the railroad station on
the arrival of the Beers was remark
able. An enormous crowd OF people
gave them welcome as hearty as that
given to Lord Roberts and Lord kitch-
ener when they arrived from South
Africa. Shouts OF Good old DE Wet"
"Our friends, the enemy" and Brave
soldiers ALL" We're frequently heard
amid snlyos of cheers. General DE
Wet was fairly cornercd by Il mob and
had to he rescued by the police, who by
sheer force cleared line OF retreat for
him.
General DE Vets secretary stated
that the Boer generals had accepted an
invitation to visit King Edward ut
Cowes. .Afterward he said. the gem
erals expected to give out IA statement
OF their views and plans. The main
object OF their tour was the collection
of fund for the families of Beers
who died In behalf OF their country. He
added that circular would be drafted
clearly stating the Boer case to the
British public.

MAY INHERIT WEALTH.
Boulder Man May Secure a Portion Of
the Fair Estate.

Denver. Aug. 1G.-A Colorado man
VIII In all probability enter . claim 80
a portion OF the enormous Fair es-
tales left by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Fair. who were killed in an automo-
bile accident near Paris, France.
Thursday. c. ]. Smith of Boulder is
brother OF Mrs. Fair and he was In
Denver yesterday, stopping at No.
1897 Stout street. The Paris dis
patches do not tell whether Mr.. or Mrs.
Fair died first. On this point hinge
the chances OF the Colorado heir.
Mrs. Charles Fair was. twenty years
or SO ago. Miss Caroline Smith. or, as
she was generally known by her step
father's name. Caroline Nelson. Her
marriage to Charles Fair. the son OF
the multi-millionaire. Senator Fair of
San Francisco. caused the young
inanH disl-herftance at the time and
created furore In society circles in
the Golden Gate city. With her death
is likely 20 begin again . litiga ton
over the Fair millions, for, though II
Is understood very generally that
Charles Fair intended that none of the
Fair family should have penny OF
the money he had so fight SO persist
emily TO secure. II is not probable that
the Fairs will let slip through their
fingers 10 large sum OF money.
II IL Is proved that Mrs. Fairs
death followed. by even few min
uics. that OF her husband. the Smith
family. represented In Colorado by Mr..
Smith OF Boulder and In New Jersey
by Mrs. Fairs aged mother and sew
cral brothers and sisters. will have

Harris vs.. Eerril.

This controversy. which bids fair to
became rs famous as the suit of Bar
dell vs. Pickwick, has at last ELECTED an
opinion from the legal adviser of the
state. The case is one which Involves
the prerosatives and dignity of tive
state officials. Curator Ferril Of the
State Historical Society was out Secur-
ing specimens one day, as was his
wont, when Game Warden Harris
came up and placed him under arrest
on the charge of violating the game
laws of the state by slauGhtering song
birds The birds Were seized and the
game commissioner has since held
them. Ferril made formal demand
about three weeks ago for the return
OF the birds, which was refused.
The Denver News of August 1ith re-
ports the latest developments as fol
lows:
Game Commissioner Harris now has
an answer to his inquiry 10 the attor-
ney general. in the matter disputed
with Mr. Ferrii of the State Historical
Society. which pleases him immensely.
Mr.. Harris asked Mr.. Post three Ques-
tions. and is satisfied with the reply
10 all of them. They were as follows:
First-Is it lawful to sell or offer to
sell any part of q game uuadruped that
is protected by the laws of the state:
Secund-Arc song birds or insectivor-
Gus birds protected by the laws of the
state? Thrd-Can they be taken for
scientific purposes without n permit TO
do so?
Attorney General Post replies as fol-
lows: "FirSt-GaE,e Quadrupeds can
only be used under the law for food
consumption. when taken in the Quan-
titles and ut the times prescribed by
the act. To offer for sale any part Of
such game Is II violation of the law.
unless it be lawfully Imported and evi-
dcnced by proper invoices as provided
in the act.
.Second-Soug birds and inscctivor-
Gus birds are protected by section 10
of the laws of 1897. which has not
been repealed as far as l know. and
does not conflict with the laws of 1889.
"rhird-By section 81 of the laws of
1897 certificates may be granted TO per-
sons therein named and under the con-
,litions prescribed to take game. etc.
for scientific purposes. but this section
was modified by section of division
II of the laws OF 1880 to reduce the fee
for the permit from 81 to 81"
MIR. Harris says Mr.. Fcrril has no
permit and so has unlawfully confiscat-
ed the birds. The game commissioner
has also consulted many prominent at
torneys on the subject. and says that
although he will not make Mr., Ferril
any trouble. he wants him to under
stand that he must abide by the state
paw. He added;
II don't believe that would Civ"
Alm permit to Kill u snowbird now."

BIG cREAnERY FAILS
eLe,n IN HANDS OF a RECEIVER.

company OpSTdteo lSo S'Sa"SS
Creditors Estimated at Nearly 1o,'
ooo-Larsest Concern Of the Kind
In the Country.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Eicin Cream
cry Company, which operates l31
creameries throughout Illinois. Iowa
and Wisconsin. failed yesterday. The
creditors are estimated TO number near
Iy 10000, over 5000 being farmers.
The American Trust and Savings
Bank was appointed receiver aud us
bond fixed at 100000.
Just before the United States Court
closed in the afternoon a petition Oi
bankruptcy directed against the conf
pany was filed with the clerk and then
taken before Referee Sidney c. East
man, who entered the order for the ap-
pointment of the received. The assets
Of the company are claimed 10 be
SS0O,oO while the liabilities are estl-
mated at S350,OO0. Inability to realize
on outstanding accounts is given as
the ,couse of the failure.
The Elgin Creamery Company Is the
largest concern OF its kind in the Unit
cd States and was organized by the
consolidation of scores of independent
plants throughout the country. Its
authorized capital stock is SiOO,Oco.
OF this amount S2TJ,vOc is outstanding
and paid up.
The petition on which the affairs OF
the concern were placed in the charge
Of the trust company charges that the
concern is insolvent and that the
claims of the creditors enumerated in
the petition remain unpaid. although
long due. For the protection of the as
sets of the company and the ultimate
payment Of the creditors. the appoint
ment of the receiver is asked.
As soon as Referee Eastman bad
read the petition he granted the motion
for the appointment of a receiver and
designated the American Trust and
Savings Bank. The receiver took pos
session Of the Chicago offices and
agents VIII be sent ct once in dozen
different directions to take legal pos
session of the various plants OF the
company. The plaintiff creditors kept
their action secret as far as possible.
In order 10 prevent attachments on the
holdings of the company in other
states
In order that heavy financial loss
may not be caused TO the farmers de
pendent on the company for the safe OF
their milk, arrangements already have
been made by the receiver TO continue
the operation OF the various plants. No
tictss to that effect will be sent out at
the same time the agents for the re-
cciSer take legal possession of the
creamcries.
The company. ever since Its organi-
zation. has almost controlled the
creamery business Of the three states
in which 1t is operated. When it was
formed II took all the best independ-
ent concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of butter. Its affairs Were gen.
orally thought to be in fiourishing
condition.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
international Union Decides to Next
Meet at Washington.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Aug. 15.-At the
meeting Of the International Typo
graphical Union yesterday was a close
contest between Washington and New
ark for the next convention. The for.
Iner city won because it was thought
that more could be done for favorable
legislation by meeting at the national
capital than at any other place.
The fight between the American Fed
eration of Labor and the American La
Dor Union was brought before the con-
vention to-day by letter to President
Lynch from ii. l.. Sholdice of Denver
Union No. 40. Sholdice wanted the
printers to refuse to allow its men,
bers to become affiliated with other
unions outside the printing trade, while
still retaining membership in the Inter
national Typographical Union. He
cited that there was nothing in the
laws of the organization to prevent ill.,
otype machinists from belonging to the
Printers and Machinsts' Union at the
same time.
The proposition was voted down, as
was also n proposition to exclrde mar
ried women from membership in typo
graphical unions.
4 proposition that was made law
be declared or by majority vote of
the unions involved, while three
fourths vote is necessary to declare
strike or lockout.
At the afternoon session the commit
tee on laws reported back the PROPOSE
ton that the practice by foremen of se-
lecting their forces from day TO day be
prohibited. Ii was adopted, with an
amendment that the local unions
should have the minimum number of
regular situations fixed in different Of
fees. The committee on law also re-
ported back the following, which was
adopted:
The practice OF interchanging and
buying matter previously used, either
in type, matrices or photo engravings,
between newspaper or job offices not
owned by the same firm and published
in the same establishment. is unlawful
and shall not be allowed"
The annual convention OF stareotyp.
ers and electrotypers decided to meet
