GLAD NEWS TO PRISONERS.
ExiIed Beers Rejoice at the Conclusion
of the War.

Hamilton, Bermuda, June 4.-The
news of peace in South Africa was
communicated to the Boer prisoners in
the inclosure on Hawkins island last
night. The prisoners were delighted
and received the news with great en-
thusiasm, shouting, singing and hur-
raining. Some of them rushed wildly
about embracing every English soldier
they met, and said: Yesterday we
We're foes, but today we are friends"
Drinks were served out to the Beers
on Hawkins island and the rejoicing
there continued until late hour.
The Beers on fuckers island also re-
ceived the news with great joy. When
the fact OF peace was communicated to
them the prisoners went fairly Wild,
shouting and singing the folkslied and
other hymns until / O'Clock in the
morning. At reville the band OF the
Warwick regiment moved up to the
Tucker island inclnsure and played

Utrecht, Holland, June 4.-Ex-P res1-
Gent Kruger declines to receive any one
or discuss the settlement of the war In
any manner. He was informed Sunday
right of the signing of peace terms at
Pretoria and since then has kept in
strict seclusion. Not even his most in
innate friends have been able to get a
word from him. He is apparently
l,eart-broken at the outcome of the war.
and his only solace is in reading the
Bible. kruger is in feeble health, and
the final shattering OF all his hopes has
proved poignant blow, from which
he may not recover.
The Boer delegates in Europe arrived
here this afternoon. They held two
prolonged conferences. None of the
delegates was willing to talk with re-
gard to the conclusion of peace or of
what had been done at today's meet
ings. DR.. Leyds and Mr.. Fischer will
remain here. Vessels and Wolmarans

RESIDENT POLICY
Roosevelt Will Not Consent to
Pledge Future independence
in Philippines.
Believes the Plan Now Being
Pursued will Eventually
Solve Problem.
Thinks Change Now Would Only
Encourage the Disturbing
Native Element.

/ Washington, June At is possible t.
| air regarding the attitude of Presiden
Roosevelt and his administration
/ touching the future status of the Phil
lippines. 1t is not to be taken as a
statement issued by the president, but
except that the president of the United
states is never interviewed, it can be
accepted with the force of an interview
| The president has been asked by
some personal and political friends TO
consider whether it would not be better
to change the policy of the United
States. especially in the direction OF
giving the Filipinos ultimate independ-
epce, and to make that announcements
so that the islands could know that
some time in the future they would be
treated as Cuba has been treated.
| These friends have told the president
/ that they We're impressed with his
speech at Arlington, in which he spoke
of the time when the Fflipinos might
/ show a capacity for self government
| and they have asked the president to go
| farther and consider whether 1t might
rot be wise to say now definitely that
| the Filipinos would be given independ-
ence.
To this the president has given an
unqualified answer in the negative. II
| the matter had been called to his atten-
| ton before he made his speech at Ar
| lington his address would have proba-
| bly, dealt with that phase of the queS-
ton.
| There is no reason, it is held, why the
presidents views should not be given
| now. Judge Taft, whom the president
| regards as the greatest authority on
the philippines, has pronounced ideas
en- this subject, which are of particular
value, because when he went to the
Philippines he was inclined to criticise
the policy of holding the islands. Judge
Taft, holds, and the president with him,
that official intimation at this time that
the Filipinos might expect their inde-
pendence, one or two or ten years
hence, would probably result in multi
tication of all the work that has been
done there since the end of Spanish
rule.
The conservative men of the islands.
who have been assisting the spread of
lew and order, and the upbuilding of
civil government. would view such a
declaration with horror. From one end
OF the archipelago to the other the ele-
ment that has been opposing American
rule would feel encouraged. They would
begin to lay wires to be ION top" when
Independence should be proclaimed.
For the reason that statement from
the administration that the Filipinos
were being prepared for independence
would. In the eyes of the president, do
incalculable harm to the work now un-
Ger way, If, indeed, 1t did not undo all
that has been done, the president de-
clines to give any encouragement to
the thought that these islands will I'LL
timately be Independent. That question
must be left to the future, after civil
government has been established in the
islands and has stood the test before
the civilized world.

WORLDS FAIR BONDS SOLD.
Five Million Dollars in Bonds Sold at
One Cent Above Par.

st. Louis, June 4.--The ST. Louis city
bonds of S5.000,0O0 in aid of the Louisi-
ana purchase exposition were sold yes
terday to the Mississippi Valley Trust
Company and Whitager & Company
Jointly at S1,O00.01 for each $1,000 bond.
This was the highest and best bid, and
as the two companies bid for the whole
amount, the award was made. Other
bids were received, but none of them
offered more than par of any part of
the issue. The Germania Trust Com
pany bid for 100000 of the bonds at
par and the Mercantile Trust Company
offered to take $1,OO0,00O at par. The
Altheimer G. Rawlins Investment Com
pany was the only concern that bid be-
low par This company offered to take
the entire issue at $999.75 for each
81 900 bond, difference of only $1,000
on the entire issue.
Comptroller James Y. Player said
that he had expected that the bonds
would bring at least $101.50 on each
$1O0, so as to make them an investment
of 3.14 per cent. The st. Louis bonds
on the New York markets are generally
selling on an investment basis of 3.15
per cent. and Mr.. Player said that he
did not think that the worlds fair
bonds would go any lower.
The bids We're opened at noon yester-
day in the mayors office. Representa-
tives from all the bidders We're present
and Mayor Wells, Comptroller Player
and Treasurer Franciscus were on hand
for the city. Edwards Whitaker, Frank

were acting, represented the bidders.

MADE OVERTURE FOR UNION.
Rev. Allen Would See Presbyterian
Churches United.


Churches United.
Pittsburg, June 4.-The United Pres
tyterian general assembly was agreed
lily surprised yesterday by an overture
for a union with the Reformed church.
1t came from the Rev. DR.. John S. AL
len, who said in his letter to the assem-
bly,:
1.-The time is opportune for the United
Presbyterian church to make overtures
in respect to union with our Reformed
church. No two denominations in our
land are more closely allied than yours
and ours. Other churches, and notably
the Southern Presbyterian, have been
soliciting the hand of the Reformed
church, and while we have not seen our
way clear to wedding, we have prom
Used to be sister to several 1t may be
that the United Presbyterian church,
by pressing her suit ardently, would be
more successful"
The overture was received with
unanimous favor and a committee will
be appointed to make proposals for
union.
The annual report on the state Of re-
ligion showed that last year there was a
ret gain of less than / per cent. The
report on foreign missions was then
taken up and discussed.

DlsGRUNTLED SHAREHOLDERS
Investors in "Lipton Limited" Critics
His Yachting Propensities.


London, June 4.-The annual meeting
OF the company known as Upton
Limited" produced some interesting
complaints from the shareholders over
the reduction of the amount of the divi-
eends. One man said that If Sir Thorn
as Upton, the chairman, attended a
little more to business and little less
to yachting the conditions would be
improved.
Other shareholders loudly denounced
the action of Sir Thomas Upton in 60
ing into the liquor business.
Sir Thomas Lipton's gift of the COM
pany's advertising expenses was also
criticised, a shareholder, amid remarks
Of approval. declaring that he did not
want to be boIstered up by one man or
be the recipient of charity.
Sir Thomas replied by saying that it
was not too late for the shareholders to
refuse the gift, but this offer produced
no takers and eventually a vote Of
thanks was passed to Sir Thomas

Anti. Anarchy Bill.


Washington, June 1.-THE house he
gan consideration of the anti by
bill. The house committee reported a
substitute for the senate measure. fdr.
Ray, of New York. chairman of the .lu-
dietary committee. who was in charge
of the bill, explained the difference be-
tween the senate bill and the house
substitute. The purpose of the house
bill was to protect the president. the
vice president and those in the line of
The presidential succession. and also to
prevent the entry into the United States
or the naturalization of persons who
preach anarchy orforcible destruction of
governments. The imperative reason
for the passage of this bill was the non
uniformity of state laws for the punish
ment of homicide. The senate bill, Mr..
Ray contended, was unconstitutional
because 1t provided the death penalty
for the killing of the president, the vice
president and cabinet officers in line of
succession, without regard to whether
at the time they were engaged in the
performance of their official duties.
Every decision of the supreme court
on the subject, he said, indicated that
congress had jurisdiction to enact laws
Furnishing offenders against officers on
ly when they were engaged in the per-
torrance of their official duties, and for
that reason the house substitutes the
language, "any person who unlawfully.
rurposely and knowingly kills the pres
i6ent, while engaged in the perform
ance OF his official duties, or because OF
his official character. or because of any
OF his official acts or omissions, shall
suffer DEATH
1t was the opinion of the committee,
said Mr.. Ray, that the president was
engaged in the performance of his du-
ties from the moment his term begins
Until it ends. But leading lawyers
thought otherwise.
Mr.. Lanham. of Texas. supported the
feature Of the bill to exclude anarchists,
hut opposed that making it a. particular
offense to kill the president or any one
III line of the presidential succession.
He argued that every man was equal
before the law, and that existing laws
were ample to punish the killing or at
tempted killing of the president.

SEEKING MORE DELAY.
Effort to Postpone Butler Case Until
Next Session,

Washington, June Am effort is be-
Ing made by the friends of j. j. Butler
to prevent consideration of the cleo
tons committee report on the Horton
Butler contest at the present session of
the congress. Mr. Butler is now in st.
Louis, and is very anxious to remain
there until the disposition of the
bribery cases against his father. When
Mr.. Butler made the request for post
ponement, it was with the understand
ing that the ST. Louis trial would be
over by the 1st of June. He has now
asked for a further stay of proceedings.
In the meantime his friends are asking
that the consideration of the case be
deferred until next December
