Talk A dispatch from London
Of states a Btrong belief pre
Peace. vailed in financial circles
here today that negotiations
for peace had been reopened between
the leading Boers and the British gov
ernment. South African stocks rose in
sympathy with the reports. The ex
act nature of what was going on is not
known, but a representative of the As
sociated Press learned that leading
Boers had indirectly approached . the
government, protesting against the ap
propriation of farms in the Transvaal or
Orange river colonies by British settlers,
which system is now rapidly being
pushed, and that strong influence had
been brought to bear on Boer leaders to
save at least a vestige of the property
for their followers. Whether what is
passing today between the Boers and
the British goveonment can be termed
peace negotiations or what will be their
result can only remain- speculation for
the present. The stock exchange -evidently
takes a hopeful view of the out
come. It also is re'ported that other
nations aie taking a hand in a peace
settlement

A dispatch from Seattle states that in
an initiation of candidates last evening,
one of the neophytes was severely in
jured. He was being hauled around
the place blindfolded in a little wagon,
when the wagon was tipped over. He
was dumped against the side of the al
tar, and his side was crushed. He bled
profusely, and it was fiist thought that
he was dead. Since then he has been
cared for by members oi the order in the
lodge building. The members are tak
ing extraordinary care to conceal his
name, and it cannot be learned. He is
said to be a clothing merchant.

Traitor1 There passe
Degraded. Portland yesterday a for
ruer private of the United
States army, who was publicly dei
graded before the post guard at Fort
Can by a few hours before, aud was
about to depart for Alcatraz Island, the
bleak military prison of the Federal gov
ernment, where he will serve a 10-year
sentence for publicly -declaring his in
tention to assassinate President Roose
velt when his term of enlistment ex
pired, and for indorsing the crime of
Czolgosz. He was closely guarded by a
detail of his former comrades, and in
their stern faces was no sympathy for
the fellow, who was no longer a soldier,
who had been conrt-tuartialed and dis
missed from the seryice in dishonor and
disgrace. Frank Rakowski is his name,
and he is a native of Poland. He was a
member o( the artillery company sta
tioned at Fort Stevens, commanded by
Captain Harold Cloke. Some time be
fore Christmas he was ordered to Fort
Cylnmbia, Wash., on detached duty. A
few days before the holiday, Rrkowski
was in Chinaok, and was under the in
fluence of liquor. The assassination of
President McKinley was spoken of in a
saloon, and Rakawski was present. He
was in the uniform as a soldier of the
army of the United States, which ac
counted in a measure for its startling ef
fect upon his auditors when he declared :
"President McKinley got what he de
served. My time of enlistment in the
army will sonn expire. When it does
I'll see that President RooBevelt gets the
same dose Czolgosz gave McKinley.
It was a marvel that Rakowski was not
lynched on the spot. His snarchistic
utterances were heard by several per
sons in the saloon, aud when they com
prehended the treasanabte threat made
in direct and unmistakable language
they rushed for him, aud bore him to
fhe floor. But for the intcivcrtion of,
officers of the peace he would have
likely bet n beaten to death. His bb

The At Washington yesterday
Friar Secretary Root was heard
Question, on the question of the friar
lands in the Philippines be
fore the house committee on insular af
fairs. He said that these land holdings
constituted one of the chief causes of
discontent anions the prople; they were
the hotbeds of insurrection and bad fur
nished Aguinaldo nis chief appeal to the
popular prejudice. The secretary said
that the religious orders so fully recog
nized the bad condition of affairs that
they were dishosed to sell out, and lie
urged that the government take aduan
tagt of the opportunity to remove the
chief causes of discontent in the islands,
lie did not believe that condemnation
proceedings wonld be necessary, as
there were indications that a fair price
could be agreed upon, A rough esti
mate of the value of the lands, he said,
was from $j,0()0,000 to $7,000,000, Amer
ican money. Secretary Root began his
statement by explaining the enormous
power which ttie religious oiderj have
long exercieul in the Philippines. They
are represented at Modrid, and the arch
bishop is quite at powerful ai the governor-general
of the islands. The or
deis have largely supplanted the native
priests. As a result of the great politi

The Grand Canon oftlte Arkansas.
Easiest of access among all the canons
of Colorado, beitig Bituated on the main
line of the Denver &Rio Grande between
Canon Cit and Salida in the front range
of the Rockies, it is the most spectacu
lar, awe-inspiring and magnificent.
Down this i ighty cleft in the heart of
granite rock-barrier rush the raging
waters of the Arkansas river, lashed
into foaming fury and dashed into spum
ing Bpray by it a swift desce it through
the tortuous defile. So narrow is the
passage at one point that there was no
room tor both road and river, and there
fore a curiously constructed bridge of
steel had to be thrown lengthwise of
the stream, suspended from Iroi sup
ports mortised into the canon walls on
each side to the right and lelt. All right
here can be seen the climax of all the
canon's grandeur, that which has been
aptly called "The Royal Gorge." For
2000 feet the stolid munolithi soar up
wardfive times as lofty as the Wash
ington monument, the highest perma
nent structure reared by the hand of
man. No words can adequately desciibe
the magnificence of the scene. Only
those w ho have beheld ifs glories can
appreciate them.
This is but one of the many wonders
of nature revealed to the traveler on the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad,; "The
Scenic Line of the World."
