Engagement ut M%iddleburg.

The London Daily Chronicle We'd
nesday morning declared that the ne
gotiations, which were practically con-
cluded In the course Of the present
week, Will witness the termination of
the war in South Africa. The paper
says it understands that the govern
mcnt has declined to grant the rebels
unqualified amnesty or to fix a date
for the establishment of self-govern-
ment and that English will probably
be the official language in the two col
onies.
Against this idea of a speedy an
nouncement of peace is the decision,
reached In parliament, to debate the
educational bill next oMnday. and to
postpone further the debate on the
budget. which seems to show that af-
fairs in South Africa may require a
greater period OF time for settlement.
II is now regarded as certain that
the Chamberlain party will be victori-
Gus and the government has decided to
retain the tax on grain.

BEEF FAMINE AT Chicago
Thousands Have to 60 without on Ao-
cou,t Of Butchers strike.

Jul W.
Thousands of persons in Chicago
were unable to bay beef Thursday at
any price, and IL is declared that the
shortage will be felt far more seri-
ously. Two hundred butchers on n
northwest side have decided to close
their shops until the teamsters snail
be granted the concessions asked ana
many Others will be forced to close be-
cause of their inability to get tresh
meat.
A number of the Jewish butchers
have agreed that they will not Duy<
any more meat from the yaS unth
the strike is settled.
Although the supply in the down
town districts. which affects the hotels
and restaurants. has not been shut on,
the deliveries of ice and coal in many
instances have been stopped, and II Is
probable that those who are not IN q
position to run independently OF those
commodities will be forced temporary
ly out of business.
For the first time since the Strike
began violence was used and the men
are becoming so much excited over the
situation that more clashes are feared.
The police had to be called on sew.
eral times TO quell small riots. The>
police details in the vicinity of the
stock yards have been nearly doubled.
and the yards have taken on much OF
the appearance of an armed camp.
