MELONS
New York EvenIng Telegram.

- ONGSHOREMEN at the docks Of
the Old Dominion line have been
kept busy for the past week I'M
loading the immense shipments Of
watermelons which are coming in at a
rate that is causing alarm to the commits
sion merchants.
Yesterday broke the record in the num-
Der Of melons unloaded during day, there
being 5000 transferred from the steam
ships to the bins that face the wharf.
Fifteen thousand melons remained from
Saturdays unloading. which made 100000
in all, the largest number ever carried In
the bins at one time.
Two years ago the record was broken by
a, shipment of 5000 melons. since which
time that number has not been exceeded
up to yesterday.
Scenes at the dock are brimful OF sug-
gestion Of life in the south.
Numbers of negroes, most Of them rag
ged and half-clad, hover about the huge
bins, waiting for a chance melon to drop
out of the hands Of the men who are bus
lily tossing them into the market wagons.
No sooner does a sample" OF the fruit
fall to the ground and burst than a wild
rush is made by the waiting darhes, who
fight for it's possession. while bystandern
laugh in much amusement.
wharves hang around the bins IN wide-
mouthed hope of q probable ''slice" Of
watermelon.
All the time the negro draymen are
shouting to the horses and the men
who are loading the fruit keep up az In
cessant chant, counting as each melon II
tossed from him to a waiting negro IN the
market wagon-"one, two, three, four"
and so on until the load Of one hundred
or two hundred is complete.
From IS to SIC hundred is the price ct
which the fruit is selling.
Said one commission merchant today1
I've lost SIPS on melons since Saturday.
If the shipments continue so large II VIII
mean a big loss to most Of as. The drop
in the market price Of fruit, owing to the
plentiful supply, Is alarming.
Melons for which 1 received SO q hum
dred last year I am selling at 81, and the
outlook is anything but promising looked
at from our standpoint"

Friendship cannot be too often nor too much

POLITICS IN TRANSVAAL
PROMISE MUCH tGlTATI0N

NEW YORK, Aug. D-The arrival OF
the Boer generals in Holland is described
with a subdued and chastened spirit by
the English press, cables The Tribunes
London correspondents.
No fault can be found with the evil
dences of Dutch hero worship, when Lon
don crowds have set the example in hon.
oring the Boer commanders. and DR.. Clark
also, as though they had been fighting on
the British side.
The generals evidently were under less
restraint at Rotterdam and The Hague
than they had been in England. and were
not casting about for excuses for retic-
ence and reserve.
Whatever may be their opinions OF the
Boers negotiators evhS soadHCted "a safe
campaign in Europe and. America, they
are not prepared to act independently o.
Kruger and Steyn, or without holding a
prolonged conference with Messrs. Fisoh-
err, Wolmarans and Vessels and the other
leaders. Mr.. Fischer is the strongest ana
most influential Boer in Holland Mr..
Kruger alone excepted, and the generals
are likely to follow him rather than
Leyds The pro-Boers, when they become
prophetic, forecast In South Africa pol
icy of constitutional agitation opening
with a Dutch coalition against the loyal
lists In the parliament Of Cape Colony
which Sir Gordon Sprigg cannot control,
and leading up by easy stages under con-
federation to a self-governing Dutch COM
monwealth under the British crown
Men like Mr.. Fischer are too discreet
to talk about Interior Boer policies, but
they already advocate confederation as
the inevitable result of the conditions of
peace.

DANGERS
NOW BESET
THE B0ERS
WAR BETWEEN BURGHERS AND
NATIVE BLACKS NOW DARK
ENING THE PEACEFUL HORT
ION OF TRANSVAAL.

LONDON, Aug, 20.-Mail advices receiv-
ed here from johannesburg indicate that
the negro problem is growing more acute
and is causing the authorities infinite
worry. To quote the words of one Of the
foremost South African authorities:
ION the question of the natives depends
the whole future Of the new colonies
whether the Beers will loyalty accept
British rule or continue In a state Of sui
len resentment. Among the immediate
dang ,rs native attacks on Beers return
ing to their farms and attempts of natives
To assault white women are threatening
TO lead to serious conflicts between Beers
and blacks.
under the old regime, the crude but
simple retribution for assaults on women
was shooting on sight,
Now. however, there is no legislation
on the subject, and the English authori-
ties are hesitating to enact laws until all
the parties concerned can voice their opin-
IONS The hesitancy to deal severely with
the natives is causing both Beers and
Afrikanders intense irritation and encour-
ages the blacks to bold effrontery.
Another phase of the problem is the
efforts Of the blacks to maintain their lazy
existence in the camps. where thousands
were gathered during the war, and far
more serious is the prospect that many Oh
the blacks of the country have managed
to secure arms. There is, therefore, the
anomalous situation of armed whites and
armed blacks living in proximity on out
lying farms. Experienced British colonials
strongly favor universal disarmament Of
the natives and prompt legislation making
assaults on women a. capital offense."

GOD STILL REIGNS

To STRIKERS

wILKESBARRE. Pa. Aug. .20.-W. F..
Clark. a photographer Of this city, recent
ly addressed a letter to President Baer,
of the Philadelphia and Reading company,
appealing to him as a Christian to settle
the miners strike. The writer said If
Christ was taken more into the business
affairs there would be less trouble in the
world, and that IL Mr.. Baer granted the
strikers a slight concession they would
gladly return TO work and the president of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
company would have the blessing of God
and the respect OF the nation.
Z President Baer replied as follows:
"I see you are evidently biased in your
religious views in favor Of the right Of
the workingman to control a business in
which he has no other interest than to
secure fair wages for the work he does.
I beg you not to be discouraged. The
rights and interests of the laboring man
win be protected and cared for, not by
labor agitators, but by the Christian men
to whom God, in His infinite wisdom, has
given the control Of the property interests
OF the country. Pray earnestly that the
Right may triumph, always remember
