THE MOANING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1900. STEYN IS IN A NET Roberts Preparing to Bag the Free Staters' Forces. CULLER ARRIVES AT STANDERTON BadeH-Povrell and His Little Band Complete the Trip From Mate Icing: to Pretoria. LONDON. June 23. 3:30 A. M. General Bteyn's forces In the Orange River Col--ony are for the time drawing "most of the attention of Lord Roberts, rather to the neglect of Commandant-General Louie !Botha and President Kruger. The sever ance between the Transvaal and the Or ange River Colony was completed yester--day, as Lord Roberts said It would be, by the arrival of General Buller's army at Standerton. The wide net around the COM or 8005 men Tinder General Steyn will now ontract. Adroit maneuvering and brisk fighting are likely to take place, because until all resistance south' of the Vaal Is at .an end. the British line of communications -will not be safe. " President Kruger's nora, who surren dered to General Baden-Powell, are back on their farms and working peacefully. General Baden-Powell rode with only 200 men from Mafeklng. and he made the last ecction of his nde to Pretoria with only 25. Lord Roberts met him In the outskirts of town and escorted him to the Presi dency. General Dewet's farm houses have been burned by the British. General Buller has issued a special order eulogizing the services of Strathcona'a .Horse. Captain Jones and the Brigade from H. M. S. Torte have been ordered back to the ship at the Admiral's request. nOUCRTS' PL.AJT. lie "Will Gradually Snrroend and Dis arm the Tiro Boer Armies. NEW YORK, June 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: General Buller's advance to Sand Spruit Is almost the only fresh point In the mil itary situation in South Africa. His march is in the direction of Standerton, which commands the road northwara from Vrede. Lord Roberts has announced his plan of operations already and the occupation of Heidelberg by forces from Johannes burg may confidently be expected within AS hours. The remnants of Presidents .Kruger and Steyn's armies will then be separated and gradually hemmed In and disarmed. The process ought not to require much time, as the Dutch forces in the two sec tions cannot now number more than 10.OM men. Military men are not surprised by tho delay on the British s.de. They assert that the business of feeding over 200.C01 soldiers in a country where food Is scarce Is a most serious undertaking. . Rumors have been revived that Generals Botha and Dewet will surrender their forces if they can gain any points by ne gotiation, but these appear to be prema ture. Dewet has not yet been thoroughly beaten and Botha came near surrounding French's troops during the last battle. The story that the bridge on the Delagoa Railway -as blown up by the premature explosion of a mine. Is hardly credible. PRETORIA AND NATAL. Buller's Advance "Will Open Com mnnlcntlon. LONDON. June 22. The War Office has received the following, dispatch from Lord .Roberts: "Pretoria, June 22 Ian Hamilton's col umn reached the Springs yesterday en route to Heidelberg, wnere they will Join hands with Buller's troops, which Teachcd Paaradkop yesterday, and will be at Standerton tomorrow, thus opening up communication between Pretoria and Na tal, and preventing any joint action be tween the Transvaalers and the people of the Orange River Colony. 'Baden-Powell reports from Rustenburg thai he found the fading Boers very pacific and cordial on his return Journey hence. Commandant Steyn and two ac tively hostile field cornets had been cap tured during his absence, "Lord Edward Cecil, the administrator of the Rustcnberg division, has to date collected 3000 arms.

Cape Colony. Krnfcer Afrnid of Jst. Helena. LOURENCO MARQUES, June 22. Pres ident Kruger's principal contention for im mediate peace is that he be allowed to stay Jn the country. There are 5000 British edek and wounded at Pretoria. Mrs. Reitz. wife of the Transvaal S'ate Secretary and her family, who arrived here en route for Europe, had so little money that the Dutch Consul purchased second-class steamship tickets for thorn.

' Jealousy at the Bottom of a Cutting: Affray. ELDORADO. Kan.. June 22. The neigh bors of Mrs. Olin Castle heard screams at her home today. They rushed there and found Mrs. Castle, a bride of one week, lying on the floor with her throat cut. Bending over her was Miss Jessie Morrison, who also had a gash In her throat and was cut in several other places. A razor was lying on the floor. Mrs. Castle wrote a dying statement saying that Miss Morrison came to her home, accused her of writing a certain letter, attacked her with a razor and then cut her own throat. Miss Morrison says .Mrs. Castle called her In, attacked her with a razor and she cut Mrs. Cas tle's throat in self-defense. Mrs. Castle is believed to be dying. Miss Morrison will recover. Jealousy. It Is said. Is at the bottom of the affair. MURAVIEFF'S DEATH. Way Have an Important Bearing on the Chinese Question. NETY YORK. June 22. The sudden death of Count Muravieff Is a startling Incident which has an Important bearing upon the China question and Russian policy. He was the most pacific Min ister of Foreign Affairs Russia had .known during recent years and exercised restraining Influence over the ambitious Generals. The Czar called him from Copenhagen when a successor for Prince Lobanoff was needed, and that was a quiet capital where a minister had easily been convinced that Russia and Great Britain ought to get on comfortably to gether. Count Muravieff not only took up the Czar's project for a peace conference at The Hague and carried it through in a sympathetic spirit, but he also practiced peace in his relations with the European powers and declined to take advantage of England's heavy work in South Af rica, His death ha come at an Inop portune moment for the settlement of the great questions connected with the Impending dissolution of the Chi nese Empire. His successor may be more easily influenced from Paris and less cautious in dealing with Germany and England. BADEN-POWELLS NOTES. Colonel's Correspondence Witk Beer General Amused the Boys. London Illustrated Bits. One of Baden-Powell's most regular correspondents was General Snyman, the party who made a regular Job of trying to rush Mafeking every Tuesday and Fri day, and passing the rest of the week In recovering from the effects of his rush. The correspondence would start In a. curt sort of way. Snyman would drop a line to say that he was about to shell the hospitals and the women's laager, as he didn't seem to be making any Im pression anvwhere else. Then Baden Powell would acknowledge the receipt of his kind letter, and offer to place every facility In the way of the Boers for committing the brutality that they evi dently regarded as one of tho sweet pleasures of life. Bnyman's reply to that would be in the shape of splinters of scrap iron, and after an hour or two's steady shooting he would send in another letter telling Baden-Powell that there would be half an hour's rest for tho funeral of the victims. Baden-Powell would reply In a genial sort of way that so far there were no victims to deal with and he trusted Mr. Snyman woula go on shooting as long as his health and fancy permitted. Sometimes Baden-Powell would write In a less conciliatory vein. It seems that on one occasion, after shelling Mafeklng for three hours and a half, the Boera smashed up a two-pound box of cigars In Baden-Powell's tent, which he had omitted to remove when the shooting be gan. Baden-Powell was naturally a gooa deal upset at this, and he wrote rather sharply to Snyman. saying that while he could take a Joke with anybody, he thought It was going a little too far to Jack up the garrison's smoking mixture. In reply. Snyman shelled the town again for another two hours: and then Baden Powell wrote rather sharply to Sny man. saying that they would really have to charge him for housing his waste scrap iron. He said thej had a collection of busted shells In a corner of the city that weighed several tons, and they really hadn't the room to spare for useless bric-a-brac If there was no shooting In the after noon. Baden-Powell would organize some athletic sports and an occasional church bazaar pr Sundav school raffle. "While the show was on he would wander around telling the leading" citizens stories of his childhood to make them laugh and keep them cheerful. Sometimes, when things were going along all right, he would go up to his studio and do a little painting. If on such an occasion Mr. Snyman sent a message calling on the garrison to surrender at once. Baden Powell would reply with a little note saying he would be obliged If Mr. Sny man would please go away Into the next street, as he was busy working on his new poster for the military tournament, and hadn't any time for frivollng Just then. In the evening Baden-Powell turned himself Into a public entertainer for the time being. He would have a piano on the platform In the big concert hall, and he would announce that he was about to give a little Corney Grain entertainment for the benefit of the stranded Boers. Now and ngain there would be an inter ruption. Just as he had got on to tho rollicking chorus of a song Imitating Kruger having a night out. the call boy would come on with an urgent note. Bnden-Powell would read the note ana then say: "Excuse me. ladles and gen tlemen. I have got to go out In rather a hurry to push the Boers back a little. I will return in about half an hour, and will then have the honor to present my unique Imitation of Dr. Leyds trying to speak tho truth without the aid of mechanical apparatus of any kind." Then Baden-Powell would go out and. having returned once Just to take his call before the curtain, would hurry away to the back and draw up a plan for dusting the Boers off the outskirts of the city. After a few minutes' steady shelling, and a couple of bayonet rusne of so, he would get a letter from Sny man charging him with harshness and br-'allty toward the poor Boers who were trying to sneak Into Mafeklng under cover of the nlcht. Then Baden-Powell would smile quietly to himself and call his men back and tell them to go and get drinks, after which he would return to the concert-room and give his imita tion as promised, together with a couple of encore verses that he had thought up during the little scuffle. At night when the citizens were In bed Baden-Powell would go down into the larder and experiment. It appears thai he has Invented a recipe for horse sausage that knocks the saveloy of com merce clean oft the field. THE JUNIOR ORDER. Proceedings of the National Coun cil Just Ended.

Oliver Dalrymple. the big wheatgrower of North Dakota, writes his eon as follows: "Ten days ago I wrote you that one third of the Spring wheat crop had been destroyed by drought. I now am of the opinion that two-thirds of the crop Is klHed beyond redemption. The Grandln farm Is running GO plows In the wheat fields. I shall start plows tomorrow and neariy all Spring wheat farmers will be plowing under wheat next week, unless heavy rains come." Dailr Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON. June 22. Today's state ment of the Treasury balance in the gen eral fund, exclusive of the J150.000.000 gold In the division of redemption, shows: Availablo cash balance 5149.706,717 Gold C7,521,5 MIDSUMMER DULLNESS DISTRIBUTIVE TRADE IS OK A RE STRICTED SCALE. Marked. Upward Mereseat la. Prloea of Arricnltaral Products The Weekly Trade Re-rlews. NEW YORK. Juno 12. Bradstreef s to morrow will say: Midsummer dultnesi In distributive trade and Industry, and further reduction of prices In manufactured goods, particu larly iron and steel and raw textiles, but a marked upward movement In nearly all agricultural products, are the leading features of the business situation thl3 werk. Wheat ha3 advanced 14 cents per bushel since June L and 20 cents from the low point reached In November, a gain over the latter period of 27 per cent In price. Corn-crop advices are still In a high degree encouraging, but that cereal has sympathized with wheat, as has also oats, and hog products In turn felt the quickening Influence of higher prices for corn. Improved demand for dairy prod ucts is reflected In slight advances this week. Crop damage has been a moving cause for the advance In the prico of cot ton. Some weakness has been noted in cotton goods, without, however, favor ably affecting distribution. Trade in dry goods has been helped by warmer weath er. Wool is lower, and the woolen-goods market is rather quiet, awaiting tho next London wool sale and the opening of the 8pring-wo!ght season. Weakness of prices le still the leading feature of the iron trade, and lower quo tations are noted for plg-lron. Structural material also has verified predictions In a decline of from ?7 to $9 per ton. Do mestic orders for. Iron are perhaps slight ly more numerous, but are for small quantities. Talk of a systematic shut down of iron furnace. production for the nrvpn mnrVt r-nrriM fhlflt fmm th RotlUl. but while this subject Is under consldera- I lion, the disease is finding a partial cure lp the going out of blast of a number of less economical furnaces, and the Sum mer shut-down of many mills. Export de mand is good, but, as for some time past, waits upon the question of freight room. The other metals are steady, and practi cally unchanged In price, with the ex ception of tin, which Is slightly slower. A heavy business Is doing In refined sugar, and the manufacturers are over sold. A good margin of profit exists in this trade. Reports from the boot and shoe industry are of rather unsatisfac tory trade prospeots, and leather and hides are rather weak at the East, but strong at Chicago, where heavy purchases for Philippine Army purposes have strengthened the situation. Building de mand for lumber is not active, but white pine is relatively firm. Southern pine is in oversupply in a number of markets. Anthracite coal Is in seasonable distribu tion, while the demand for bituminous continues active. Whea. (Including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,645,160 bushels, against 4,675,029 bushels last week. 3,746.712 bushels in tho corresponding week of 1S99, 3.799,470 bushels In 19S. 2.156.246 bushels In 1S97, and 2,847.831 bushels In 1896. Since July 1 this ueason the exports of wheat aggregate 195,470.162 bushels, against 221, 769,610 bushels last year, and 229.072.2SS bushels In 1897-SS. Failures In the United States for tho week number 167, compared with 180 last week. 199 In this week a year ago, 220 In 1S9S. 215 In 1897, and 218 In 1S96.

Crop Damage Report the Overshad owing: Factor. NEW YORK, June 22. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weakly review of trade tomorrow will say: The damage to the wheat crop of the Northwest is the event of chief import ance. How extensive the loss may prove, in view of tho widely conflicting accounts, can only be Juuged from the specula tive markets. It is Information gathered at the West that has caused a remark able advance at Chicago, 15 ants In 10 days, and the price here has advanced 11 cents per bushel, though for the Sep tember option only 9 cents. The belief Is that a large part of the Spring wheat has been killed so as to reduce a yield expected to be close to the largest on record as to be considerably less than the world has required during the crop year now ending. Until within the past three years it would have been reasoned that. any material advance In prices would neutralize the foreign condition, which had caused exports of about IW.OM.Oifl bushels of wheat, flour Included, in tho closing year after 223,000.000 bushels In the previous year and 217,000.000 bushels In the year 1S9S. besides exports of 213. 000.005 bushels of corn In the closing year against 177.0O),C00 last year and 212,OW,0o0 In the previous year. But the fact seems to indicate a more extensive and lasting Increase of foreign demand than has been considered prob able. Other sources of heavy export have been found disappointing. The United States continues to show enor mous power of increase. If supported by prices, which, until recent years, would hardly have been regarded remarkably high. If the coming crop falls much be low expectations the demand for It may prove surprising, even though prices "av erage more than have been expected. In iron and steel structural producers a week ago reduced the prices of beams to Jl 90 and angles to Jl 80 at Pittsburg, leaving only rails and tin plates, which have not been reduced from the highest point. The rallworks are crowded far ahead, and the question in plates de pends largely upon wages. Western bar Is reduced to 31 55 and steel bars to Jl 50 at Pittsburg, with a general shutting down of works expected July 1. Hoops are quoted lower at $2 23, and No. 27 black sheets at 3 cents, buyers asking only for small lots. There Is a wide range of quotations for merchant steel, and the lower prices named for pipe has only started the demand a little, as buyers expect yet lower quotations. Minor metals also quiet, with small trans actions. The shipments of boots and shoes, only 233.74S cases, in three weeks of June are over 20 per cent smaller than In 1899 or 1895. and smaller by 10 per cent or more In other years. The Jobbers still appear inclined to wait, and some man ufacturers decline quotations recently named, and have closed or reduced forces. Of necessity the best economy in pro duction cannot be reached under such conditions. Hides at Chicago are not changed for the week, as reported gains and losses balance. Lower prices are agatn reported for several grades of cotton goods, nnd are expected for others, and buying is there by retarded. Heavy brown goods and drills and denims are dull, and without doubt the uncertainty of the material market had some Influence. Tho price of raw cottons han again advanced a quarter during the past week, but with out clear indications of increased demand for the supply remaining or lnsufflcleno of that supply. In woolen goods the manufacturers also find that the demand falls to nnswer ex pectations or to support prices asked at the opening, and some large works are now reported running part time or clos ing. At the three chief markets wool has been extremely dull with sales of only 2,720.600 pounds. Even where considera ble blocks are found at low figures the conditions of the goods market Is by no mans encouraging to buyers. Failures for the week have been 17? J In the United States against 178 last year and X In Canada against 13 last year. Bank Clearing. NEW YORK. June 22.

Bradstreefs financial review tomorrow will say: Easy money and the absence of any largo material for speculation have tend ed to limit the declines which the stock market naturally exhibited on bad crop advices and the alarming developments In China. The market had a reactionary appear ance, but the selling of stocks has been largely. If not mainly, by bear traders, although some long stock was forced out, especially In the Grangers. Berlin, too. contributed toward the concessions, sell ing through London considerable amounts of Its holding of American stocks, and the financial and speculative complica tions at Berlin have been regarded with attention here as an argument in favor of conservatism and caution. The some what Improved aspect of the financial situation In Germany toward the end of the week was therefore a favorable sign, and it has also been noted that the Lon don money market, though sensitive to the influences of the troubles in the East, and the financial pressure on the Conti nent, has been the zone of many disturb ances. The fact that New York has sup plied Paris and Berlin with nearly $10, 000,000 of gold in the last few weeks, with out it having any effect on rates for money at New York, is a notable fact, and a decided demonstration of the strength of our financial position. In fact, it is thought that the recent gold move ments have been due largely to loans made In New York for Berlin Interests, and it Is also pointed out that the steady Increase in the average bank loans at New York indicates that considerable money Is again being Invested In foreign bills, which Is equivalent to discounting European time obligations with American capital. THE HOMEOPATHISTS. Convention Is In Favor of Uniform aiedicnl LeRlslatlon. WASHINGTON. June 22.

If so, be will carry 122 pounds; and be rtd dan by Caywood. Yellow Tall, it Is eaid, will not Btart, but there are those who think he will go to the post. Sidney Lucas, 122, is also carded as a starter, and he has many followers, yet it is given out on good authority tonight that he will not go to tho post. Reminder and Knight Ban nert are also carded to start, but there is hardly a chance that they will do . The track is certain to be quite heavy. It was cloudy today, and as the rain last night was heavy, it seems certain the go hig will be deep. The condition of the track makes C. H. Smith's colt. Lieuten ant Gibson, more than ever a favorite. Tonight erven money was the prevailing odds aX the sporting resorts, although good bets at a better figure were obtainable. It is thought seven to five will be of fered in the rititf tomorrow. Sam Phillips will bo second choice and Advance Guard probably will be third choice. G. B. Mor ris decided to roly on Silver Garter rather than Pupil, as the latter Is out of con dition. The local public does not know much about James, and Silver Garter, the Eastern entry, and most of the betting will be on Lieutenant Gibson and Sam Phillips with a little play upon Barrack, a Chicago horse, because of his ability to run In the mud. Norford will ateo havo following, because he Is the property of "Lucky" Baldwin. The betting will be conducted In the same way as in 1893. No boards will be displayed, the bookmakers merely using small cardboards on which they will show the odds. THE DAY'S RACES. Yesterday's Winners at St. Louts and Other Tracks. ST. LOUIS, June 22.

It -was on a steam railroad going from Washington to Philadelphia that I over heard the following conversation between a little boy. Just at the Interesting- age, anxious to know, and his aunt, whose patience-was severely tested by little Wit lie's questions. The first to attract his attention was a buzzard flying high In tho air. "Oh, auntie!" he exclaimed, "look at that chicken way up there." 'That's no chicken, Willie; that's a buzzard." "But. auntie, I don't hear him buzz." "Auntie, look at the man pumping the cow; Is she punctured?" "He is milking the cow, Willie. Do be still for a. while." After a short pause ho espied several pumpkins, in a field and tasked: "Auntie, Is a pun'kln a grown-up or ange?" Auntie kept quiet In hopes of bringing him to a stop Next to meet his gazorwas a man walk ing through the car. "Auntie is that man drunk?" "Hush, Willie; It Is the motion of, the car that makes him walk so crooked." "But. auntie, papa walks that way on the street when he leaves the club." "Will you be quiet for a while. If you please?" "Auntie, look at the moon. Where did all the stars come from?" "I don't know. Willie. Don't ask so many questions." "Did tho moon lay 'cm, auntie?" And as darkness drew -on little Willie began to nod and auntie, gavo a sigh of relief. A Pathetic Parting: When Congress Adjourned. Washington Letter. One of the most patthetlc scenes ever witnessed at tho Capitol was the parting of the blind chaplain and the membeni of Congress tho day of adjournment. There Is scarcely a man In the Houso but who has formed an attachment for Chaplain Couden, and yet not many fre quenters of the Capitol know the cauae of his affliction. While a private during the Oval War a eheil hurst near him and the flying fragments deprived him of fcia sight. A story related of the incident is that while Chaplain Couden was being carried from tho field of battle some one said: "Poor fellow, he will never see again. He might fcetter be dead." He re plied!: "Don't be too sure of that, boys, you may hear from me yet." Since then, and as chaplain of the House, more than oneiof the boys who sat around the camp fire with hdm has listened to his touchirs prayers from his stand ait the Speaker's tdesk, or to some reference to the days when he "soldiered with the boya" Dr. 'Couden Is not less a poet than .an able, scholar, and one of his greatest delights isto compose and read verses of hia own at a reunion of his comrades. He Is by farUhe most popular chaplain the Housa has fever bad. Daehinnd and Collar Button. Cleveland Plain Dealer. "SthnleV'a collar button rolled under the bureau." "Yes."
