The Forlgn Office baa sent a circular note to all the power announcing that the German Govern ment considers that an indispensable preliminary to the beginning of peace negotiations with China i the delivering up of those who were rvspoeible for the outrage. The text of the telegraphic note, a the north German Gaidtte gives it, is as follows: "The Government of the Emperor ; holds as preliminary to entering upon diplomatic relatione with the Chinese Government that ttione persons must be delivered up who have been proved to be the original and real instigators of the , outrages sgainst international law which haye occurred at Pekin. The number of , those who were merely instrumental in carrying out the outrages ia too great. Wholesale executions would be contraiy I to the civilised conscience and the cir cumstances of such a group of leaders cannot be completely ascertained, but a few whose guilt ia notorious should be delivered up aud punished. The repre sentatives of (he powers at Pekin are in a position to give or bring forward con ymcing evidence, as less importance atlachee to the number punished than their characters as instruments or leaders. The Government believes it can count on the unanimity of all the cabinets in regard to this point, inasmuch as in di (To re nee to the idea of just atonement would be equivalent to iudittereuce to repetition of a crime. The Government proposes, therefore, that the cabinets concerned should instruct their repreeen tutives at Pekln to indicate those leading Chinese personages from whose guilt in instigating and perpetrating outrages all doubt is precluded. VON BULOW." The note has been sent to the German EtnbaRsies at Washington, London, St Petersburg, Paris, Kome, Vienna aud Tokio. KHirOKK WOULD VOX TALK. Wild Aaaertluna by lilt Coimnlaaloner of Police. Nbw York, Sept, 13. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: From Lourence Marques comes a mes sage saying that a large part of the Rue tenberg commando baa surrendered, and there are reports that Commandant Botha has given himself up. The correspondent of the Daily Tele graph in Lourenco Marques baa been ac corded an interview with Mr. Kruger, The ei-Prem'dent, however, declined to answer Interrogatories In person, and his spokesman was Mr. - Herdellus, the Transvaal Commissioner of Police, an exile himself. Kruger remained in an adjoining room with the door wide ojwn, and the correspondent had only a pass ing gllmpfte of him sitting crbis-leggwl in a lounge chair, dressel in blark, and with his left eye covered by a shade. In reply to questions, Mr. Jrdllu pro ceeded to talk of Itritish cruelties in the field, and made more or lens wild a sort- ion of murders of women and children by Kaffir M by the British. Time ould prove, be added, that the Boers are not nearly beaten. NlLZLIt iS A MANAGE!. A lllfh Old Tim. With th raada Col lected for tba Hoars. For the past few weeks the Washington public ha been highly entertained by a aerio-comic fight In camp of th gentle men w ho so loudly proclaim their mo nopoly of tbe good motives of tbe uni verse. Th occasion for this ludicrous Jumble wa furnished by the recent visit of the Boer delegate to the capital. When it waa positively known that they were coming, it was the intention of the citiaens, irrespective of party, to tender them a proper reception. However, be fore a meeting could be called by th rep resentative business mea of Washington the irrepressible Hon. William Sulier, the Tammany congressman who revolve like a pin-wheel, bobbed op and seised upon the undertaking. It appears that Holier had taken tbe precaution to have some correspondence . witn the Boer officials, and this, accord- J Ing to his east aide mode of, reasoning, clearly entitled him to pitch in and be come tbe whole thing, lie called a meeting which wu composed largely of gentlemen of the Bolter calibre and flora which the substantial cilisen of Wash ington remained atudiously away. Sut ler wu chosen as chairman of th com mittee to receive the Boers and waa clothed with extraordinary power. He appointed the sob committees, ar ranged tbe programme for tbe reception and public meeting, and tbe band of tba Tammany statesman was to be found in all the moat important details. It wu to be a Fu'ieriao affair from start to 6nish. By this time it wss plain to be seen that the affair was being atil'sed u a democratic campaign card. Democratic senators and representatives were selected as vice-preidenta and orators lor tbe meeting, but tbe programmes were so carefully arrainged that at each of the-ie functions Mr. Hulxer wu the priacipil orator. All the other orators resolved about the Tammany congressman and at every turn the Boer delegates made they RYHL B aking The strongest, purest, most efficient and wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest in price, yet the most economical ; indispens able to all who appreciate the best and most healthful food. Our country is enjoying prosperity almost unsurpassed in its history. For every one there is money enough to buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good, wholesome. Why should we use cheap, impure,; un healthful articles of food? There is no economy in them; they endanger the health, they may cost life. There are reported almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the cheap, alum baking powders. In all articles for food buy and use only the best. The good health of the family is of first consideration. ROYAL BAKINO POWDER CO., bumped Into a large chunk of the elo qiience that mads Suiter famous. The climax came the night the meet Ing was held In the grand opera house), 8ulzr was In his glory and the only per son who approached him was the lion. Webster Davis, who was fresh from hl famous exploits In Mouth Africa. It waa upon this occasion Mr. Davis paid Liar much talked of eulogy to former Connsal Macruui and ret lied his thrilling experi ence with the "horse dragons." The) speeches of Hulter, Davis, the lion. "Windy" Allen, of Nebraska, and a few of th lesser lights were touching, and that wu just what they were intendwl to be. After the speech were well under wsy Mr. ftolxer announced that a collec tion for the benefit of the widows and or phans of the Boer soldiers would be taken op, and be immediately called for sub scriptions, leading off himself with a lib eral sum. Repeatedly would Sutler call the names of members of the audience and suggest that they contribute. Placed " in such uncomfortable positions, there wu nothing for them to do bat "shell oat," and when theand-bagzmgprocea) had been completed it waa supposed that the widowa and orphans of the Boerts would be tbe recipient of over f 1,800. The meeting wu voted a success from a financial standpoint and the Boer dele gate appeared to be highly pleased over the ahowing of substantial sympathy. But it is the sequel that amuses. By thia time tba pro-Boer movement in Washington bad degenerated openly into a democratic anti expansion and Bryant side-show and the Brysnites were whoop ing it np to tbe beet of their ability. However, there wu some degree of aat Ufaction to be found in the fact that f 1,800 bad been raised for tbe distressed families of the Boer soldiers, and thw thongbttbat tbey were to be relieved even to that extent wu pleasing. Mr. Salter, by reason of bis position a supreme dictator, wu made the custodian and disbursing sgent of tbe fund and waa authorized to apply the same to tba s of fering Boers u bis judgement should dictate, liow well he did tbia ia abowa by tbe report of tbe committee appointed to investigate tbe affair. Dr. W. A. Croffot la one of the most rampant of tbe local' anti-expansionists. He also makes a specialty of pro-Boer sympathies. Being an all around anti administration man, the Doctor entered heartily into tbe reception to tba dels gates from South Africa, believeing that considerable democratic capital might be made out of the aftVr if it were only properly worked. However, the Doctor ia not an ardent admirer of Salter, and a short time ago be took it noon himself to make inquiry u to the number of Boer (continued on page 4) Powder Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes them cheap.
