DUTCH IN SOUTH

Dangerous Uprising in Transvaal is
First Discordant Note in

belion OF section Of the Dutch element
in 50. Africa which broke out today sud
denly is the first warning note that has
marred the harmony in the British en-
pire since the outbreak Of the war and it
has momentarily diverted attention from
the arenas near the heart of the empire.
That this rising was real and dangerous
was sufficiently proved hy official des-
patches from Gov Gen Buxton to the
imperial government and by the measures
Gen. Botha and his colleagues have taken
to stamp ii out by the imposition Of mar
tial law in the whole Union of South
Africa. The proclamation of martial law
indirectly charges that widespread secret
| propaganda of the GprmAls was re~pon-
| sibe for the commando. which was one
| OF the four armies sent into the field
when the Union government undertook /,
/ relieve the home government of the tasl
OF dealing with the German colonies.
! It is apparently the belief of Gen
Botha's government that others beside
those under the immediate command @
| Coz. Moritz may have been affected hence

this seems to be shown by resolution
drawn up at an emergency meeting of tn

 ernor to Head Ticket.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 1.-The Prohibitionists here today nominated former Governor William Sulzer to be their standard bearer in the fight this fall in this state. Sulzer will head the ticket and will run for the posi- tion from which he was driven by reason of the exposures of graft and rottenness in the state administra- tion under his direction.
 The Prohibitionists all over the state had expected that Dr. Westfeld, one of the strongest advocates of temperance in the East, would be named. but at the convention the friends of Sulzer stampeded the del egates for the deposed governor, and his nomination was carried.

 Foreign Office Issues Statement.
 The foreign office issued state' ment today saying: "The Japanese government wants to fulfill her treaty obligations with England and by forcing the Germans to evacuate Kiao-chau will be removing the cause of all Oriental peace disturb ance, besides assuring that the in- terests of Japan be safeguarded and the integrity of China maintained. Japan has given the German govern ment six days to consider and reply to the ultimatum so that we take no unfair advantage, as might occur should the Germans not receive the ultimatum at Berlin because of the delay in transmission of messages.

 ture of the Day.

DAWSON, Y. T., Aug. 17.-Discov- cry Day is being celebrated here to. day under the auspices of the Yukon Order of Pioneers. The qualifications for membership of the order were recently changed, permitting all Yu- koners who were in the north before 1898 to become members. Scores of new members were initiated at the meeting last Friday in order that they might participate in today's parade.

There were many uni que floats in the parade including the first scraper ever brought to Yukon, as well as the oldest cart ever seen in Dawson. Hundreds of native born white children took part in the pa rade. Capt. Mayo, who came to Yu- kon in 1873, and has been in the val ley ever since, was the guest of the city.

AMERICANS LEAVE
 ENGLISH PORT
Three Lines Start for United States MiIIonaires In Steeraoe-Sailors
 Demand More Pay.

LIVERPOOL, Eng, Aug. 17-An un. precedented scene was witnessed here today when four thousand Americans departed on three steamers for the United States. Many of the passen- gers in the steerage are millionaires, but were forced to take passage in the steerage or else remain on the other side. The passenger rate has been jumped upward by the transpor- tation lines.
 The sailors of the Atlantic trans port steamer Minnewaska, flying the English flag, have struck for higher pay, claiming that the dangers of sail ing the sea at this time are more than ordinary and that they should be better paid. Besides the danger of striking a floating mine the great dan ger of capture or being sunk by foreign warship always exists.
 The demands of the sailors were granted.

SPRING GREEN, Wis, Aug. IT, Enraged because he had been re- buked by his master, Julian Carle- ton, a negro cook, set fire to the bungalow of Architect Frank Wright while Wright and eight others were at the dinner table and then closing the doors and standing at the only window in the bungalow the negro killed six of the nine as they jump ed from the burning structure and hitting the other three gave them probably fatal wounds.
 Mrs. Bouton Borthwick, Wright's notorious affinity, and her two chil- dren, were among those killed.
 Carleton was caught by the posse of farmers who started after him when they heard of the killings. Re was found in an old boiler where he had hid, and Is now in jail. Were it not for the general dislike sof Wright held by the people because of his immoral conduct the negro would undoubtedly have been lynch. ed. A heavy guard Is now being constantly maintained over him. The negro refuses to talk.
 Wright Is missing, and although he was hit by the negro 1t Is be- lieved he has wandered of in the woods and died.

 PARIS, Aug. 1.-The French min. ister of war last night issued a state- ment to the waiting thousands, who demand information of the big bat tie now being fought on the German and Belgium frontiers. He said:
 Whole French Army Engaged.
 "The whole French army, consist ing of two million men, is engaged in a battle line extending for three hundred miles with almost the en- tire German army. excepting small part sent by the Kaiser to the Rus sian border. The violation of the neu- trality has extended the line of bat tie and we are called upon to de- fend the neutrality of Belgium be- hind hastily prepared Notifications. The battle line extends from Mas tricht, near the Holland border, to the Swiss border, near Basel. The Germans have an equal force against the French and allies." - Says etatement 10 To Prspars Psopls.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Although the French claim a decisive victory at Dinant, the German guns covered the retirement of the German troops and prevented the French from gaining much by reason of the victory. The German advance, however, has been blocked and the effort to pierce the line of allies at Dinant and thus, cut off the large force of Belgians, French and English northeast of that city has failed so far. The extended line of fighting has caused the allies much trouble, as the Germans have so far been able to cover their point of at tack and the reserve forces have had to be rushed to Dinant to drive back the heavy masses of Germans, thus weakening other points which may be attacked at any moment.
 Fighting All Along the Line.
 In an effort to keep the Germans from massing troops at any one point the allies have ordered the troops from Maestricht to the Swiss border to keep attacking the German forces and to force them to keep all their strength scattered instead of allow ing for the concentration in Belgium.
 Few Details of Battle.
 Only the most vague details of the battle are allowed to sift through by the official censors, but it is known that the losses on both sides have been exceptionally heavy, the Ger mans realizing that they must defeat the French and allies within the next week before the Russian hordes come over into Germany and have attack ed the allies line time after time, gaining some advantage in places and losing at other points, but always re- newing the attack.
 Heavy Losses.
 That the losses have been excep- tionally heavy on both sides because of the close fighting is believed here, as it is reported from Brussels that thousands of wounded are being brought to the Belgian capital for treatment and every public building in the city has been turned into a hospital, while many private homes are filled with the injured.
 English Pray for Victory.
 In every church in England yester- day prayers were offered for the vic- tory of English arms and for the tri- umph of the allies against Germany.

 Unofficially it has been stated here that the French lines have not been broken by the larger force of Gere mans at Dinant, but that the French army has won a decisive advantage, forcing the Kaiser's forces to retire.

MEAT TRUSTS
 TAKE HEAVY TOLL
No shortaoe In Meat or Produce, But Rates Go Up While Surplus Goes
 Into Cold Storage Plants.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The federal prosecutor here has just completed an investigation of the cause for the raise in the price of beef since the European war and also of other foods has wired to the attorney gener- al that he can not find any meat shortage, but rather that the closing of ocean transportation has resulted in the packers filling their cold stor. age rooms to capacity.
 He also reports that every cold storage building in Chicago is being filled with perishable provisions and that the companies expect to reap a harvest by maintaining high prices all through the coming winter.
 The packers own fifty per cent. Of the retail dealers in this city and the books here also show a similar condition in all other cities and are not only raising the wholesale price but adding some more to it when re. tailing.
 It is expected here that the ad- ministration will order prosecutions of the meat trust controlling the meat and cold storage business of the Un- fed States and will endeavor to break the high rates being charged by them.
 SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-An investiga- tion made by the federal district at torney into the cause for the raise of the price of food has exposed a sim liar condition in the market here to that existing in Chicago. Packers owning fifty per cent. of the retail stores and cold storage plants have raised the price in spite of the fact that the market is overloaded. The surplus Is being stored in the chill rooms of the big cold storage plants.
