MlIllons Goes up In Smoke.

Lourenzo Marques, Portuguese East
Africa, July THE fire which began
here July 8, and which by the follow
ing day had destroyed British mill
tary stores valued at over e50O,O0O
($2,50O,OOO), shows little sign Of abat-
ing, and is likely to burn for some
days to come. The fire started at the
Netherlands pier, and spread to ad-
joining property. In the event of a
change of wind, several other storage
yards, where many thousands feet Of
timber and other goods are stored,
will become involved The fire bri-
gade is powerless to obtain control OF
the flames, which, towering to a great
height, completely Eliminates the bay.

Seattle, Wash, July Harry Ira
cey, the Oregon convict. again eluded
his pursuers. after a display of great
daring. Saturday morning Tracey ap-
peared at the home of Rancher John
son, at Madison Point. He forced the
Johnsons to give him a bundle Of
clothing and hats and six days sup
plies of food. clothing and blankets
made into bundles.
At o'clock Saturday night he
bound and tightly gagged the John
son family, made their hired man, An
derson, carry the bundles to Johnson's
row boat put Anderson in the boat at
the oars and started down the sound.
Mrs. Johnson released herself and the
others two hours later and notified the
authorities. Sheriff Cudihee was sum
moned from Bothell, and with several
men started down the sound in the Sea
Lion, an electric tugboat, looking for
the desperate and the farm hand
However, it is believed he made good
his escape. The supposition is that
he will row all night, probably kill
Anderson, sink the boat and disap
pear into the wild forests Of Northern
Washington, where he may live many
days on his supply of food.

body of a man was found in o Penn.
sylvania Railroad freight car here yes
terday afternoon. Death, which ap-
peared to have occurred within -

Result of the Efforts OF Rmbas-
sador Clayton in Mexico.

Washington, July 29.-United States
Ambassador Clay ton, at Mexico, mas
succeeded In securing restitution IN
one of the largest embezzlement cases
before the Mexican State departments
Some time ago James Brown Potter,
representing large American and Eng
lish interests in the Tlahauliio Mining
Company, of Mexico, appealed to the
State department. for justice, claiming
that by a fraudulent conspiracy some
of the directors of the company had
embezzled funds to the amount OF over
S2,00o,0 ,0G0. This, it was charged, vas
accomplished by packed elections and
the bestowaI Of Illegal powers upon one
of the directors in the company. The
fact that some inferior Mexican Off
eials were inolVed in the conspiracy
made It almost impossible to obtain
justice by the ordinary methods.
The State department. referred the
case to Ambassador Clayton and he
brought tito the attention OF the Mex
ican Government and pressed it SO
vigorously that he is now able to re-
port that the conspirators have been
obliged to disgorge all of the money
and secrities they had obtained by
their FRAUDULENT operations.

A Mathematical Problem.

AZ a lecture at the Royal Institution
ON the fascinating subject Of magic
Squares Major P. A. McMahon, F.
F.. S., reminded his audience Of the
existence Of curious problem which,
despite its apparent simplicity, has
never yet been solved. He commend
ed it to the attention of any one pres
ens who desired to exercise his ingen-
uity and patience.
The problem is as follows: There
are thirty-six officers of six different
ranks and drawn from six different
regiments. and it is required to ar
range them in a square Of thirty-six
compartments, so that in each row as
well as in each column there appears
az officer from each regiment.
Euler's 'Reherhes Sur une Nouvelle
Espece de Quarres Magiques," which
appeared in 1852, disusses this prob
lem, but gives no solution, and the
late Professor Cayley, writing more
than q century afterwards, confessed
that it was beyond his powers.
Major MacMahon, who has added so
much to our knowledge of the theory
of groups fascinating branch Of
mathemastic which has an important
bearing on many branches of physi-
cal science-has not yet found key to
the mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that it cannot be solved will
achieve immortality on the lips of
mathematicians and perhaps open a
door into new realm Of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure
mathematics.-London Post.

Women and Jewels

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is the
order of a woman's preferences. Jewels
form magnet Of mighty power to the
average woman. Even that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in the siren
nous efforts to make or save the money to
purchase them. If woman will risk her
health to get a coveted gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous con
sequences of coughs. colds and bronchial
affections By the regular use of DR..
Boschee's German Syrup. 1t Will promptly
arrest consumption in its early stages and
heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes
and drive the dreaded disease from thssys-
tenn. It is not cure-all, but it is a certain
cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial
troubles. You can get this reliable remedy
at DeLorme's Pharmacy or Sumter Phar-
macy.

70 McLaurin's Credit.

Senator McLanrin's refusal to ac-
cept from the President an appoint
nent 20 the vacancy on the bench of
the Court OF Claims Efe position
with good salary, little work and
much dignity-will raise him greatly
in the opinion OF the people. His ac-
eeptanee might have led to the accusa-
tioa by his enemies that he had desert
sd mis- party for personal gain; the
best refntation to such acharge was
to decline the profered honor, and
this be has done. The course pursued
by Senator McLaurin has been nota-
BILE one. A man of undoubted ability
and fearless independence, he has fol
lowed line Of policy in his voting
that was more thoroughly conservative
OF che public interests than that fol-
lowed by any other member on the
Democratic side. What is better than
all else, he has been an American be-
fore he has been a partisan.-Balsi-

Washington, July 29.-The members
of the Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers, Local No. 26, who have been en-
ployed on repair work at the White
House, have quit work in order to en-
force the rules of the union. The
cause of the walkout," it is stated,
is the refusal of the New York firm
having the contract for electrical work
at the White House to accept the local
terms .of the Electrical Workers
Union.
Camden, July 29.-A very unfortu-
nate accident occurred this morning at
the DeKalb Cotton Mill. The steam
chest of the low pressure cylinder ex-
ploded, killing Mr. D. ]. Kelley, the
assistant engineer He was sttruck in
the face and chest, and was fearfully
mangled. He lived few hours after
the accident. No damage was done to
the balance of the engine building.
Dallas, Texas, July 29.-Although
the food situation in the northern
western section of this State, which
has been deluged by recent rains, is
improved additional heavy rains have
fallen in the southern and central por-
tions of the State, which have crippled
railway traffic and caused considerable
damage to other property. From
Baird west on the Texas and Pacific
the weather is clear, but from the
coast to Texarkana, west to Baird and
south to and beyond San Antonio there
were frequent downpours today. These
rains have materially, softened the
roadbeds aud in many places the wa
ter threatens to overflow the track.

Bannerman. Liberal leader in the
house.
MI. Chamberlain's appearance was
marked by a speech which won the ap-
planse even of such opponents as Henry
Labouche.e. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN dealt COM
prehensiVeiy with the past and future
Of South Africa.
NE have no intention, he said,
s that the. Beers should break with
their old traditions. We desire that
they should preserve all the best char
acteristics of their race, and hope they
will shake hands with us, thus secur-
ing prosperity in South Africa under
the flag which protects different races
and different religions. y 7<ss
That sentiment was the keynote of
the speech.
Dealing with the much-discnssed la
Dor question, Mr.. Chamberlain said
he believed every inducement to labor
should be held out to the blacks, but
no scheme ofseempulsory labor should
receive the slightest Government sup
port. There was no intimation of
packing the country with Britishers,
but SO much Transvaal land was lying
idle that the colonies could only be
made great corr producing factor by
bringing in British settlers.
