Bkrlih, Set. 13. 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.

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

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,

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

In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is

The climax came the night the meet

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

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

However, there wu some degree of aat
Ufaction to be found in the fact that

families of the Boer soldiers, and thw

He also makes a specialty of pro-Boer
sympathies. Being an all around anti

heartily into tbe reception to tba dels

considerable democratic capital might be
made out of the aftVr if it were only
properly worked. However, the Doctor

short time ago be took it noon himself to
