LETTER TO GEN. BOTHA
SECRETARY CHAMBERLAIN PRO-
TESTS AGAINST APPEAL.

LONDON, November IA parliament
tary paper relating to the Boer generals
appeal to the world was published today.
In letter to General Botha Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlain protests against the
"exaggerations in the appeal and the in
correct impressions conveyed thereby and
points out that in addition to the gift Of
$1oOCO,OOO for the relief of the Boers Great
Britain had been spending 100000
tanning the burgher camps as organizations
to enable the people to return to their
homes. Mr.. Chamberlain also suggests that
large sums were remitted by the Transvaal
to Europe during the war. He says there
must be large balance thereof remaining,
and invites General Bothats cooperation in
finding the persons to whom the money
was 1ntrusted and in recovering the bal
ance, which, he says, Great Britain is
prepared to add to the sums already pro-
vided for the relief of the burghers
Gen. Botha, in reply, says that until Mr..
chamberlain made his speech of November
0 he understood that the $13, ,O0D,0O0 was
partial compensation for war losses. II he
had known that 1t was. solely for the relief
Of destitution the appeal In such form
would not have been ISSUED. The general
declares he Is quite unaware that any sums
were RENTED to Europe as alleged, and
that II such sums exist he would be very
glad to see them devoted to- the objects
mentioned He concludes with a ascongratu-
latory reference to Mr.. Chamberlain's ap-
preaching trip to South Africa and an ex-
preston of his wish that the controversy
regarding the past should be ended and that
both sides address themselves entirely to
the necessities of the present and future.

FREE TRADE WITH MANILA.
Senator Mitchell Says That the Com
merce Needs Such a Stimulus.

Absolute free trade between the United
States and the Philippine Islands will be the
recommendation and persistent urging Of
the Pacific coast delegation in Congress
from now on. This is the belief Of Senator
Mitchell Of Oregon.
1.-The removal Of all tariff duties on i'm
ports into the United States and on ex-
ports to the Philippines from the United
States is exactly the stimulus that our
commerce with those islands needs at the
present tme,' said Mr.. Mitchell to Star
reporter today "An amendment to effect
this very thing was introduced by me at
the time of the Philippine legislation, and
extent, and resulted in lower tariff sched-
ules In some instances But what is needed
is absolute free trade, not only for the
benefit of our own commerce, but for the
development of the industries Of the islands
themselves
of the Philippines into competition with
that of the United States in such trade
arrangement" was asked.
"There is nothing substantial in such an
argument" was the reply. .1The only ar gu
ment which did prevail In continuing the
tariff was that the islands needed the reve-
nue. therefrom, but the stimulus to the trade
of both the islands and this country through
a free trade arrangement would more than
compensate for the additional revenue de-
rived from the tariff collected on that
commerce by the islands and this country
'Yes, the whole Pacific coast Is united on
this idea, and 1t will be urged In Congress- y
Mr.. Mitchell acknowledged his interest
in Cuba was not elected to the extent 1t
was in Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip

The democratic congressional campaign
committee is to be made a permanent in

since the election, as it has become the firm
conviction of the members of the committee

Congress is not long enough in which to ed

which would result in success Secretary
Charles A. Edwards of the committee has

went few days ago to raise money with
Wnlch to continue the work of the commit

as SUFFICIENT funds were raised to prolong
the life of the committee for some time to
come. In speaking of the new idea Mr.. Ed
wards said:
1T is impossible to get the voters suffi-
ciently aroused during the few months usu-
ally spent in this work. We must have
more time. Hereafter 1t is the plan to keep
the wheels going constantly. We will con-
tinue the work begun last summer, and l
do not propose to allow any of the

not to disseminate speeches as campaign

W. J. Campbell Thinks 5000 Persons
Perished in Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO, November Civ. j.
Campbell, who has just arrived here from
Guatemala, brings additional details Of the
damage caused by the recent volcanic dis
turbance. In an interview Mr.. Campbell
said: There Is no clear idea yet Of the
loss Of life resulting from the volcanoes
eruption, but from what 1 could gather L
believe that 5000 natives have been killed.
There was some talk at San Jose, too, of
some of the refugees having been waylaid
by robbers, but l saw no instance Of this.
Some of the coffee fincas that have been
nearly ruined were worth more than 81 ,O0O,
OO0 The plantation of Albert James, which
was wiped out of existence, had machinery
upon it worth 100000, all of which was
destroyed. Some months ago James refused
an offer of 81 800 600 for the finca. The
Adolfo Meyers finca, worth $4,000 in gold,
was entirely ruined Both of these line
places lay from twenty to forty miles west
of the volcano. The town of Quezaltenango
is practically ruined, for the houses are
cracked and broken down. the people are
moving out and the neighborhood is cove"ei /
with sand and ashes.''

PARIS STREET ARCHITECTURE.
Regulations Recently Made by the
Municipal Surveyors.

Consul General Gowdy at Paris has made
report to the State Department in regard
to street architecture in Paris in which he
says:
New regulations concerning the erection
of buildings in Paris have just been issued
by the municipal surveyors, as the DEGREES
hitherto in force though they dated no fur
ther back than 1882 or 1880 did not satisfy
modern requirements in the matters of ily-
giene, comfort and luxury.
THE height of buildings is thus fixed: If
the road is less than - meters GO fee)
wide, the height of the building must not
exceed the width of the street by more than
meters Q91a feeD. On q roadway 12 me-
ters wide, the house may therefore be IS
meters (o9 feeD high, and for every addi-
tfonal meter in the breadth of the road a
quarter of a meter about ten inches) may
De added to the height Of the house until
the limit of 20 meters nearly &C feeD to the
caves is reached: but no building may ex-
ceed that.
I'm all dwellings, whether situated on a
public or private road or in a courtyard
the height of the ceiling of the ground-fioor
apartment. and also that of the entresol
shall not be less than feet inches
Pro1ections-bases of columns, balconies
corbels, bow windows, etc.-are subject to
certain general regulations, which may be
modified in special cases. Thus, If road
way is 90 feet more wide, the regulation
width of the balconies may be increa sed bv
one-fourth.
"A new and useful clause in the decree
provides that any shutter, blind or sun
shade placed not more than 10 feet above
the pavement must either be within the
body of the wall or must not open outward
There are also minute regulations con-
cernlng Verandas, awnings, sun blinds, out

fiicted. DR.. Soquet has made an autopsy
