GIFT FOR KITCHENER
Victorious British Leader to
 Get Title and Wealth.

LONDON, June 4.-Contrary to cus- tom, the house of lords will hold sit ting. today to receive a message from King Edward with reference to peace in South Africa It is expected that this message will announce the confer ring of a title upon Lord Kitchener and the granting him a reward for his services. This reward will probably be G1OOO00.
 It now appears that Lord Kitchener will not return to London for the kings coronation, and Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, has said that the government does not propose to nave the new South African colonies repre- sented at the crowning of King Ed ward. Transvaal and Orange River rep resentatives could hardly reach London in time for the function.
 A dispatch from Pretoria says:
 ''The signing of the peace agreement on Saturday night last was carried out with the least possible ceremony. Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner and Gener- al De Wet and others representing the Orange Free State and General Schalk- burger and others of the Transvaal government quietly met in the dining room of the residence occupied by the burgher delegates, adjoining Lord Kitchener's house.
 ''The document lay on a table ready. Amid profound silence the Boer lead CTS took a pen in. order of precedence and affixed their signatures, thus sur rendering the independence for which they had so gallantly struggled The document was them intrusted to Colo nel Hamilton, Lord Kitchener's militia ry secretary, and Captain Marker, an aid-de-camp, who have left Pretoria 10 deliver it to King Edward.
 s'There was great rejoicing in all the concentration camps upon receipt of the news that peace had been con- cluded The occupants assembled in the open spaces and chanted psalms. the women weeping with joy.
 Arrangements are being made to send representatives of each unit of the British army in South Africa to participate in the coronation festivi- ties in London"
 Replying to a question in the house of commons during the day, the war secretary, MT. Brodrick, said the total number of Boer prisoners in South Africa and elsewhere was 25,565, of whom 7S3 were under sixteen and ], ,025 over sixty years of age.

SUNDAY BASE BALL. NO CRIME.
Why Don't You arrest the Sunday Golf Players?' Asks justice Gaynor.

Why Don't You Arrest the Sunday
 Golf Players?" Asks justice Gaynor.
 Seyenteen-year-old FredericlS Bedell was brought before Supreme Court Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn yesterday on writ of habeas corpus. His coun- sel, FreIerick D. Gilbert, said that forty or fifty boys who worked hard all week had hired a field in the Hemp stead meadows, Nassau- county, on which to play base ball and other sports on Sunday. Twenty-seven of them were arrested last Sunday.
 "A MT Willetts, pulpit orator." said Mir Gilbert, s'is the real complainant. He believes the boys break the Sab bath by having a good time in an open field.' Assistant District Attorney Graham of Nassau county contended that the ball game on Sunday attract ed a crowd and that there was great disturbance.
 It comes down to the question whether it is a disturbance of public worship" said Justice Gaynor. ssYou have got q golf club right down there. Why don't you arrest the men who are playing golf instead of the boys who are playing base ball? They used to stop ball playing on Sunday here once. but l am thankful to say they don't do 1t any more. I'll let this boy go"

THAT sCHICK PROTEST.
Probability That a Mistake Has Been
 Made in Protesting.


 According to the Springfield Union, W. A. Schick, the Harvard sprinter who has been protested by Yale, was a member of the St Jerome Temperance society of Holyoke, Mass, when he competed at the archdiocesan games held at Fitchburg last fall. It is stated that Schick has been member of the St Jerome Temperance society for several years, and the fact that he won the sprints for that institution does not transgress the eligibility rules of the Intercollegiate Association of Anna teur Athletes of America. The Arch diocesan union sprints are confined solely to Catholic societies and by many are regarded as closed games
 As a member of the Holyoke High school Schick helped that seat of tui- tion to win her points in the interschol- astic games of the Western Massachu- setts association. Later on he entered Phillips Andover academy and achieved success in athletics before entering Harvard. The Yale protest against Schick is on the ground that he par ticipated i'll the Springfield archdio- cesan games and the Union states these games took place two years ago.

ENGLISH DERBY TO-DAY.
Expected to Be the Most Brilliant
 Event in Turf History.

Event in Turf History.
 London, June 4.-Many Americans found their way to Epson yesterday, where King Edward and a brilliant suite watched the races. To-day what is expected to be the most brilliant Derby in years will be run Nearly all the members of the royal family and the foreign potentates in England will be the kings uests for the Derby, and the demand for coaches threatens to exceed the supply. Yes terday's racing was marred by acci- dents to three jockeys in the race for the Craven stakes. Three horses fell, and among the riders who went down was England's premier jockey, Lane. The injuries which the boy sustained will prevent him from riding in the Derby.
 Among the American jockeys who have engagements in the Derby are Danny Maher, who will ride the Duke of Devonshire's brown colt Cheers, who is at odds of 20 to 1 against Jen- kins, who will have the mount on Wall lace Johnstone's bay colt Rowling Piece, at 100 to 9 against "Skeetsv Martin who will pilot J. Gubbin's brown colt Ard Patrick, at z to l against J. Reif who will be in the sad dle of William G. Whitney's chestnut colt Intruder, at 100 to against, and Spencer who will have the mount on James R. Keene's colt Kearsarge at 100 to l against.
 All these horses are regarded as outsiders except Ard Patrick, who is supported by many of the sporting pa- pers as being the best gamble for place in the race. Although this will not be the first time MT Keene has been represented in the Derby, it will be the first time that he will have the pleasure of seeing the races.
 Reiff, who it is said has had the offer to ride R. $. Siever's bay lilly Sceptre, the favorite at , to 4 against, and had William c. Whitney's permis- sion to do so, says hewou1d rather ride loser for MT Whitney than to win for MT Sievier.
 Yesterday Maher captured the Wood cote stakes and the Wellington plate, the latter race on Mrs Langtry's Smi- lax.

Barracks at Picking Burned.

PEKING, June 4. - Fires occurred Monday at the French barracks here and at the quarters of the Austrian troops Although the fires were large, the resulting damages were small. The fires are believed to have been of incendiary origin. When the buildings burned, there was much excitement and rejoicing among the crowds of Chinese who had congregated outside the legation quarter of Peking to enjoy the sight of the flames.

Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg team said today that if his club sue ceeded in winning the pennant he would wager 5000 on q series of ten games with the American league. He would play the American champion team or a picked nine
 There was to have been a meeting of the Brass City Base Ball league last night ill St Josephs rooms, East Main street, but as the manager of the Pe- quot club did not show up it was ad- journed It is reported that the sec ond St Joseph's team will drop out, so if there is any club in the city that would like to join let the manager be on hand tomorrow night at the rooms of the Fifth Wards when the meeting will be called to order.
 Tn Willimantic there is family of ball players that rival the BannOns, Delehantys ct al. They are the Nicn- ols boys, all youngsters, who will inn prove with age, five in all. Arthur, the oldest, is catching for St Louis of the National league, John is playing bril- liant third base for Willimantic, Alfred catching for the Occuns and James and Joseph with the Willimantic regu- lars. A witty story is told of their worth. Some time ago the Nichols boys father was going to see game in which they were playing. At the en-, trance the ticket seller would take no money, and on being asked why, said: Don't five Nichols (nickels) make a quarter?' and he went through, as they were good stuff.

 When Sir Michael Delaney joined the team in 1900 they were then play ing in hard luck, and he brought them ! back into form or at least they. started off on winning streak. Mickey is a great help to the man in the box. Tn the two games he has played he has been at bat seven times, three Satur- day and four Monday, and has got four hits. That's batting over the 300 mark some.-Meriden Record.
 Willimantic has the reputation of turning out as good pitchers as any place of its size in the country.

The enormous sum of $111,000,O0o earned as net profits during the year
 by the steel corpor- TRANSACTIONS ation gives a fair IN STEEL. idea of the magni-
 tude of the business and of it's ranking importance among the sources of the nations wealth. The United States Steel corporation claims about 80 per cent of the entire iron and steel output of the country. If this be true. and we assume that the out side concerns have made the same average profit, the total net revenues for the iron trade 2s q whole have amounted to some $135, 900, COG during the last twelve months This is near ly twice the sum which the treasury took in during the fiscal year 1901 It is equal to a quarter of the entire years receipts of the federal govern- ment from all sources, and more than half the S243, ,0O0, 900 which was col lected from customs during the twelve months ending last December. Multi ply the same sum by four and we have an amount equal to last years entire visible credit in the foreign trade. From these comparisons the true pro- portions of the iron trade income are brought more clearly into view. No other manufacturing industry, Of course. comes anywhere near it in point of profits. The mining and trans- portation of coal holds second place, and cotton manufactures proba ply hold the third. But to see the wide gap between the returns from iron pro duction and those from cotton manu- faoture it is only necessary to com pare the dividend disbursements by the principal producing interests in the two industries during the last year. The steel corporation paid out altogether to it's stockholders $56, 900 600 against a total of $1,144,COO paid to shareholders in the Fall River cotton mills.
