England and Scotland cause dthe collapse
of q portion of the spectators terraces, re-
sulting in the death of three persons and
the injury of 125 others.
When tie game began 10000 spectators
were on the ground, and an immense crowd
had gathered outside. Being unable to OBJ
tain admittance. this crowd broke down
some of the barriers and swarmed upon the
field. whereupon the police charged and
drove the intruders back upon the terraces
and seats. with the result that the ratings
dividing the crowds were broken and the
people were thrown over each other.
In the frantic struggle toward the exits
the pressure toward the upper portion Of
the Westerly terrace was SO great that a
hundred feet Of the highest part of the
structure collapsed under the weight of the
crowd driven upon it, precipitating the

Twenty-Five Killed and Fifty-Six
Wounded Among the Eng

OTHER DETAILS ARE WITHHELD.
In Battle at Harris River the Loss
to General Kitchener Was
1G4 Men and to General
Delarey 1877 Men.

London, April 5.-An official dispatch was
received at the War Office giving a partial
list of casualties in a fight at Loeuw Kop
location not stated on April 1. The cas-
ualties were. according to the list. confined
to the men. Twenty-Five were killed and
dfty-six were wounded.
This is the first intimation of a new bat
tie General kitchener's censors nave per-
mitted to come from South Africa. From
the location of Loeuw Kop, on the western
border Of the Orange River Colony, about
forty miles east of Kimberley. 1t is appar-
emily a continuation of the battle of March
81 with Delarey's forces. in which the Brit
ish lost 164 killed and wounded and the
Beers 1871.
Pretoria, April 4-The losses in the
~neishborhood of Harris River, in the south
western extremity of the Transvaal, March
81. were three officers and twenty-four men
killed and sixteen officers and 13l men
wounded. The Beers admit that they lost
1877 men killed or wounded.
The action occurred at Doornbalt farm. a
few mile south of the scene of General De-
larey's defeat of General Methuen.
The Beers. who were commanded by Cen
erals Kemp and Potyieter. attacked with
great determination. but the Canadian con-
tingent, which was the last to arrive in
South Africa. from Canada and two squad

Colonel Kier. presented such a stout front
that the burghers were finally forced to re-

wounded.

PRINCE OF WALES
May VISIT AMERICA.
Invitation Will Be Forwarded by
New York Chamber of Com
merce in the Near Future.

New York. April 5.-There is the highest
authority for the statement that the
Chamber Of Commerce of New York will
invite the Prince of Wales to attend the
dedication Of its new home in August or
September. Negotiations OF a semiofflcial
character have been under way for the last
two months. but nothing definite will be
known until May or June.
AS a matter of fact, no formal invitation
las yet been sent to the Prince Of Wales,
in spite of statements to the contrary, but
it is not too much to say at this time that
such an invitation will be forwarded with
every prospect of Its acceptance.
The matter has not been taken up by the
diplomatic representatives Of the United
States in London, save In the sense that
Ambassador Choate happens to be the close
personal friend Of President Morris L. Jesup
and other leading members Of the Chamber
Considerable correspondence has passed
between the Chamber and certain high Of
ficials in London, but 1t Is all Of q private
or unofficial character.
Representatives CT all the leading COM
cercial bodies Of Europe will be invited to
attend the dedication, which promises to
be an event of international Importance.
NOTHING HEARD FRO THE PRINCE.
Washington, April 5.-The notification sent
out some time ago by the State Department
to consular officials of this country every
where regarding the prospective opening Of
the new Chamber of Commerce building in
New York has led to the expectation that
many notables will attend as representa-
tives of foreign countries. and that foremost
among them will be the Prince of Wales.
Inquiry at the State Department to-day
brought the response that no news of a
visit from King Edwards son had been
definitely received. but that as the occasion
to be celebrated in the metropolis will be
an event of great financial and international
importance. the Geputizing of a royal Prince
to represent the British nation would not
seem unlikely.

Santa Rosa, n. NJ, Swept by Fire
Dynamite Used.

Chairman Sudduth Of the County Demo-
cratic Central Committee. and Chairman
Crecelius Of the Republican Committee
have both announced meetings to be held
in the Courthouse at Clayton tomorrow.
The meetings of the two political parties
are always held in the county courtroom.
and the leaders of both parties are wonder
ing which organization will get possession
Of 1t first
The Democrats claim that they should
have precedence. as theirs Is to be a coun-
ty convention. while the Republicans is
simply a meeting of the Contra commit
tee. The Democrats will meet for the pur-
pose Of selecting delegates to the State and
Judicial conventions and, as the county has
a candidate for a State office. a large and
enthusiastic meeting is expected. The
Democratic meeting was called first.
The Republican committee meeting Is for
the purpose Of calling primaries for the cleo
ton of delegates to their conventions, and
a new County Central Committee. As
there are many prospective candidates for
county nominations the meeting is expect
ed to be quite as largely attended as that
Of the Democrats. One of the parties will
have to surrender claim on the county
courtroom and there is considerable specu-
lation now as to which 1t will be.

He now merely awaits the result or the
vote in the upper house.
The Premier has viewed the situation I'M
der several aspects, notably:
First-That the islands be sold to America
for a small sum-. sufficient to pay the deotS
and pension the officials of the islands.
S~econd-Refusal to sell and consequent
continued drain upon the Danish finances.
Third-The possibility of America. in case
of her being refused purchase. simply TAX
ing the Islands under some pretext.
~Fourth-The possibility of America, as in
1867, refusing to complete the purchase after
law legallzing the sale had been passed by
the Danish Parliament.
The last consideration Doctor DeuntZer
regarded as a serious one, which 1t is FOR
him, as, should the sale not take place or
serious complications arise. he would be
discredited and compelled to resign.
1t is quite true that intriSuers are many,
and now. at the last moment, petitions are
being sent to the King against the sale.
Family and other influences are being ex-
erted in the same direction. All that does
not brighten Doctor Deuntzer. who knows
that the King, throughout his long reign.
has never opposed the Ministry. and will
not listen to the slightest whisper Of In
trigue.
Neither does he fear the ministerial
Senate. He considers that the upper house
will scarcely dare to wipe out the enor-
nous majority of the lower house, but will
