PEACE CONFERENCE DEADLOCK
Beers still Have Many Points Of Diff
ference With ENGLAND.

Pretoria, May 27.-The prevalence
throughout South Africa of the Opti-
mistic feeling in regard to the peace
negotiations is hardly based upon solid
facts. The protraction of the confer
ence at Vereeniging is not necessarily
a hopeful sign.
The delegates to the conference. al
though they have abandoned their
hopes of securing independence, still
have many points of difference with
the government, while an obstinate
minority continue to regard the re-
sumption Of hOstilities as the best
outcome Of the present situation, and
at any moment these points of differ
ence may be accentuated into a re-
fusal to continue the negotiations.
1t is most unlikely that those who
are in favor of peace will throw up
the sponge so long as a decent minor
ity is DESTROYS of continuing the
/ struggle, and all these dissOnant ele-
ments must be taken into account be-
fore it is possible to give any sort OF
prediction as to the issue of the pres.
ent negotiations.

large consignment Of bats and few

Farmers wife Murdered.

York, Pa, May 27.-Mrs. John An
slime, aged about so years, wife of a
farmer residing near Red Lion, this
county, was found lying in a woods
near her home last night, having been
brutality murdered by some person as
yet unknown. She was lying on her
face behind a pile of rails, her head
crushed in, her face and neck cut and
her dress cut and torn. She had been
to Red Lion and had started to walk

but as she had not reached her home
Oy nearly nightfall her family started

MINERS EAGER TO FORCE ISSUE
Anxious to Get Out Soft Coal Men to
Shut off Supply.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 28.-The re-
port that President Mitchell had con-
ferred with members of the Civic Fed
Grafton in Chicao, and that efforts to
settle the strike were about to be re-
newed, was received with Indifference
here. The miners are willing and anx-
ious to submit their claims to arbitra-
ton at any time, hut they do not ex-
pect the operators TO yield, unless the
union succeeds in controlling the sit
uation by completely cutting off their
coal supply. The idle miners are more
intent on learning how and when the
bituminOus coal is to be shut out of
the eastern markets than they are to
hear peace reports, which are no longer
regarded seriously. AS the railroads
are burning soft coal, the miners are
satisfied that the anthracite supply is
about exhausted, and they are in favor
Of cutting off the bituminous supply
at once.
1t is estimated that from 1900 to
10000 mine workers, mostly young
men, have left the Wyoming Vahey fol-
the bituminOus fields in the west and
large cities throughout the country
Should the strike continue for another
month, and the miners continue tC
leave at anything like the rate they
arenow doing, the operators may BE-
embarrassed by a scarcity of labor that
will force wages beyond the scale de.
manded by the strikers.

SEVERE RAIN ON ST. VINCENT
corpses of Volcano Victims Were Ex-
posed to View.


posed to View.
Kingstown, Island of st. Vincent,
May 2S.--on Saturday night the dense
clouds forming a canopy over the
greater part of the island lowered and
a severe thunder storm, accompanied
by a heavy rainfall, broke over st.
Vincent and continued until Monday,
causing the mud streams in the Wind
ward district of Georgetown to be
flooded. The water pipes were dam
aged, several houses were washed
away and two lives We're lost. The
rainfall was so heavy that it disturbed
the bodies of the buried victims of the
volcanic disaster, and corpses, with
putrid flesh hanging to the bones,
were exposed to view
During the rain storm the Soufriere
volcano appeared to give forth dense
clouds Of vapor and steam, rising to a
considerable height and spreading
over the neighborhood. Roaring sounds
from the mountain also caused appre-
hensiOn Of another eruption.
Further interesting incidents that oc-
CURED during the recent eruption Of
the volcano are continually coming to
light. While all the residents of the
village of Morne Ronde We're leaving
that place by boat, man who had de-
clined to leave was seen running up
and down the shore, screaming for
help, and saying that the ground was
hot, that the water was boiling and
that lava was coming down the noun
tain. 1t was impossible to rescue the
man, and he died horrible death.
A pathetic scene was witnessed,
when a father and mother, holding
each others hands, the woman having
an infant at her breast, and with an
other child at her feet, were all struck
! dead together.
The United States steamer Dixie has
done splendid work here, and has rem
dered great assistance to the govern
ment. The Americans evince the great
est interest in the island generally.

PHILIPPINE VOTE NEXT WEEK
It Is Expected BY That Time Senate
Discussion Will End.

Discussion Will End.
Washington, May Pa fruitless
effort was made just before the adj
journment of the senate yesterday to
secure an agreement on the time for a
vote on the Philippine bill. The dis
eussion indicated that some day next
week eventually would be agreed upon,
but no time was fixed. During the dis
cussion, a prOposIuOn was made that
time be fixed, on alternate Tuesdays,
beginning next week, for vote on the
Philippine bill, the Nicaragua canal
bill and the Cuban reciprocity bill, and
that a final adjournment be agreed on
for the fourth Tuesday, but it was toe
startling to be taken seriously, al
though some senators regarded it ia
vorably.
The disagreement between the house
and the senate as to the army appro-
priation bill was discussed at some
length, and committee was appointed
to meet a similar committee from the
house.

Indian Uprising.

Fort Keogh received a telegram from
Forsyth asking that soldiers be imme-
diately dispatched To the Lame Deer
Indian agency. Word has arrived from
the agency that trouble vas brewing
and that an outbreak of the Cheycnnes
was imminent, il IL had not already
occurred.
Lieutenant Chapman of the post
stated that the request for troops had
been communicated To department
headquarters, and that soldiers were
making preparations for Immediate
departure on receipt of orders.
+. Beatty, IA prominent citizens OF
Ashland, near the Lame Deer agency
said that the disturbance originated
by an Indian named White being sent
for by the agent in charge. The Indian
refused TO obey the and an
Indian posse was dispatched to bring
him in. White opened fire upon the
appearance of the posse, killing one of
the Indian police. The warning Indian
then turned upon his own wife and

sharper the past week.
A man entered respectively Entri-
tens, Miller's and Aurell's meat mar

small quantity of meat and lard. His
bill at the first place was seventy cents
and at the second place it was seventy
cents, and Mt the the third it was six
ty-ive cents.
AS payment for the amount at Entri-
tens he offered a bogus check to the
mount of $500 aud was taken. He
was given cash far the difference. He
passed n check to the amount Of $50
at Miller's and the same thing was
done. At Aurell's he passed a check
to the amount of $500 and the same
vas cashcd as at the other places.
In each instance the check al made
payable TO Joe Lewis or bearer, and
has the forged signature Of II. Parker.
